Man. Had two incredibly convoluted and complicated dreams last night of “epic movie” proportions. At first I thought they were combined stories, but in retrospect I think they were two separate ones. Unfortunately most of the details are totally lost on me and all I remember are the main themes.

The first one was something like… me and several other people (no one I knew) were training to become the apprentices of the … some kind of group of people who controls the aspects of the world, I guess (like the Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony).

All I really remember was that I got assigned to be the apprentice for Death, which I totally balked at and didn’t want anything to do with, but then Death started going through these creepy intriguing passion speeches about why his job was essential and how it was tied up with all these interesting morality issues that I apparently secretly enjoy dealing with. (Maybe it should be noted that in the aforementioned Incarnations of Immortality series, I did like the first book the best, which was about the incarnation of Death.) Though shortly after it was revealed that Death had some kind of alternate agenda for recruiting specifically me.

The second dream was basically a regurgitation of Public Enemies to some degree… that is, the primary conflict was one good guy and one bad guy, and I was on bad guy’s “side” helping him manage his heists, though in the dream they were less about heists and more about doing things that the law enforcement would disapprove of, but for a really good cause. And for whatever reason, I was bantering with someone else who was on the “good” side and basically swaying her to our side, because she was starting to realize that we weren’t really bad people.

Strange that both of these dreams were about moral ambiguity, at least in part. What have I been doing recently that involves that… ::puzzling::
