fragment: purple bridesmaid dresses fly of the racks to attack me!
Dream:
i was off fighting evil/crime with a bunch of other interesting characters. one guy who used bikes and cars to jump down rails and buildings. we would chase bad guys around at night, jumping off buildings, and during the day sleep and shop like normal people. there was no actual violence that i can remember, but chases and other things did occur.
as Anita (well, a me-type version of her) i was getting tired of this fighting evil scene, it wears you out easily and you just can't get away from it and take a vacation. because of this my friends blackmail me into the idea of taking and training an apprentice to be the next Anita Blake. maybe i could then retire because evil would consider the newbie to be easy prey compared to me. so my frineds arranged to hold auditions.
in my own household, a young dark (but straight-) haired girl runs outside to meet with her friend in the garden. they were both about 10 yeras old. i watch from a window, and i mention to someone she is my "voto blanche, my receipt" meaning she was my kid or my kid sister or something. i don't think the girl knew we were related, she was taken care of by an older woman who also lived in the house. then and there i decided to just train her as my apprentice, and i went out into the gardens to start with her and her friend.
we started with weird dallies and other items to get them used to moving on and manipulating moving surfaces.
ANALYSIS:
one of the more story-like dreams i've had. i love the Anita Blake series, but i am wondering about how she is going to deal with all the stress she is under and the desire for a somewhat normal life. this dream is much more G-rated than the books, and it had no other characters but her in it.
the "voto blanco" or whatever is absolutely strange, i guess my mind was tyrign to find something cool sounding to fill in. as i think back on it now, the little girl kind of reminds me of that girl from "The Professional", a decent movie about a hitman. i think Natalie Portman played her back in the day.
