I had another Veronica Mars like dream – although this was more of a mixture of Veronica along with Shawn and Gus type debacles (Shawn being the “psychic” detective from the show Psych who is always dragging his reluctant friend Gus into crazy situations they have to get themselves out of). But instead of being a detective, I’m some sort of a political activist - for what, I’m not exactly sure.
At the beginning of this dream, I’m with two other people and we’re breaking into some sort of top-secret facility with lots of security devices. We get in, but realize we have about five seconds before we’re detected and alarms will start to sound. We manage to get out in time, and the next thing I know, I’m in some sort of an Ally McBeal like coed restroom with my boyfriend in the dream, who is not anyone that I know from real life, and we are trying to figure out our escape plan because the people from the place we broke into are after us. I go into a stall, and all of the sudden a very short, yet very mean and scary looking guy is in there with me. I realize that I am in trouble. Because there are still other people in there and he doesn’t want them to realize he’s after me, he tries to say something innocuous about needing a ride to a party. To alert the other people that something is wrong, I very loudly say “What, you need a ride to a party? Why would you come into the stall to ask me that?” Well this works, because some guys end up punching him out, and I grab his phone and a bunch of money and credit cards in his wallet before making a run for it.
Once I’m outside, I totally start freaking out – I know I need to be running and get somewhere safe really fast, but I just don’t know what to do. At first I think that I’m in New York by Central Park, but then I realize that I’m in DC. I actually woke up at this point, feeling very stressed out, but glad this is just a dream. But then I fall back asleep and go right back where I left off in the dream – which is very strange because this never happens to me. So back in the dream, I decide the best thing to do is to take the subway because there will be a lot of people around me if anyone tries to attack me. Then I realize that the short bad guy’s phone has a tracking device on it, so his bosses will know exactly where I am. But then I decide that I will detach the tracking device and throw it onto a different train to throw them off.
Next thing I know, I’m on the subway and I’m back with the boyfriend. We’re discussing how we should just turn ourselves in and explain that we really weren’t trying to do anything wrong – we were just standing up for something we believe in. I have no idea exactly what it was we were doing or why we were so passionate about it. We decide that we should just go find my dad because he’ll be able to take care of everything. Then there is a news bulletin on the TV on the train (fancy subway system, huh?). It announces how there is a search out for us, and shows how we got these fake student id’s using aliases, but somehow they have figured out our real names and flash pictures of us. A lady then walks up to me and says that I look a lot like the girl on TV. I quickly tell her, “that is so weird, so many people today have been telling me that, but that’s not me.” I explain that I’m actually several years older than that girl, so there’s no way it could be me. She buys it, and we’re safe for the time being.
Once we arrive at our destination, I start freaking out about what we’re going to do next. I try to quickly jump in a cab, but can’t find an open one. Then I realize that I can just wear my black wig and this will prevent people from recognizing me. I then end up on a train going to Chicago – I have no idea why. But I look on facebook and one of my friends has posted a news story about me being on the run, and reports that I am on a train heading to Chicago. It even has a tracker showing exactly where my train is. I am so worried about what I’m going to do once the train stops, because I know everyone will be waiting for me when I get there. Then I wake up, thankfully this time for good.
P.S. – There are rumors of a Veronica Mars movie in the making. Hopefully they’ll do it justice!
