limenal from the airport, we returned home and spent some quality time with the computer and television. I finally cleaned off my laundry from the bed and was thrilled to discover a rerun of Buffy airing at 10:30. Shortly after, we went to bed.
And then I had Buffy dreams this morning.....
Dreamsign #1: I was both me and Willow. Or more accurately, sometimes I was myself and sometimes I was viewing the action through Willow's eyes. I think these were during the scenes when my character was "offscreen".
Some sort of demons were in town and I had somehow violated some sort of ancient law and the town could only be saved and redeemed by me being killed. The gang was trying to find a loophole and in the meantime a ceremony was being prepared for my death. I remember being in a church like space and sitting on a pew. They were all busy talking about what action could possibly be taken but they also just seemed somewhat resolved that I would just have to die, and I was little bitter that I was being cast to the side and sacrificed, just because I wasn't Spike or Buffy or some other lead character. I was also extremely upset with Giles since he seemed to be advocating for the completion of the ceremony as the only option.
People began filing into the church to attend the ceremony (a requirement, not just because they're morbidly curious), and who should come in?robkaiote and his partner Soren. Now, in my dream, Rob might have a looked a little like he does in real life (based on photos I've seen) but Soren didn't really look much like his photos at all. In fact, he sort of looked like vfc's friend Eric. Anyway, they introduced themselves and gave me a hug and we chatted a minute, and I remember Soren sort of chipperly saying "it's so nice to meet you!" and then pausing and awkwardly following up with "sorry it's under such horrible circumstances..." I sort of just shrugged it off. In the dream I was so angry at everyone and trying to act calm as if nothing was phasing me. Then Giles was sitting across a table from me, and butted in to the conversation saying "in a few hours it will be over and everything will be fine and back to normal."
I told him to "shut the fck up" or some equivalent, and he got a little peeved and flustered and fired back, "well, it's not my fault you broke the rules.....what did you do anyway? sleep with the slayer?" I said no. I slept with the watcher. Then suddenly he remembers us hooking up before and somehow his memory had gotten erased prior to this so he would go along with helping me get killed. Then Giles was like "well this changes everything! I can't let you die -- I've been completely depressed since this whole thing began but I wasn't sure why. If you get killed, I'll die." Or something similarly cheesy. I was gloating a little in a "see I told you you should be helping me way" and also a little touched that meek little Giles was going to attempt to kick some demon's ass so we could be together.
At that point I became somewhat lucid and was trying to figure out how I could fast-forward through the end of the problem to the point where I'm no longer in danger and Giles and I can go hook up.
I'm greatly amused by this dream.
