movie dreams

Two strange dreams I've had recently:

1. The Alien Jewelry

A woman had just had a baby and something was extremely wrong with it, like it was actually an alien. So everyone was keeping it away from her; they took it before she even got to see it. And her family was upset about the whole thing and wouldn't even speak of it (I only ever saw the dad but there were lots of people around all the time, who were involved.) Then at some point, I suddenly became the woman and I was furious with everyone for keeping my baby from me. And right around the same time, the baby turned into a box - this mysterious box that had things inside it that I couldn't see, because they were supposed to be this horrible thing.

So there was this big dinner scene, with everyone there, and I was angry at my father for all of this, so I slipped away, determined to see what was in the box. I opened it and it turned out to be full of this strange, weirdly beautiful jewelry and hair ornaments!! I can only remember the earrings, which were dangly and made of bones, and these hair clips that were huge, flat poofs of brilliant green feathers, like peacock feathers that didn't stick up but laid flat on your head. I was very certain that was from another world. I was so amazed, and then the father was there, looking afraid, as if I would hate all of it. I said, "It's beautiful!! Why would you think I would hate it?" And he was sorry and said, "I just didn't know...I was scared..."

And we both cried, and everybody celebrated the fact that it was all okay. I mean, seriously, it was like a huge relief for the whole land or something. So freaking weird. I woke up with a very clear image of the jewelry in my head and like this amazement that everyone had thought I would hate something, and be scared of it, but in the end I loved it. Hmm.

I think it's so bizarre that it went from being an alien baby to alien jewelry.

2: The Dark Prophecy

Me and several other people were trying to help this little blond girl who was supposed to fulfill some kind of destiny. We were all trying to figure out what she was supposed to do, or how she was supposed to do it. It was kind of like she was supposed to be the reincarnation of someone who had died, and events that happened then were going to be repeated. But somewhere only the way, I realized that the destiny was bad, that the original girl who had died had actually killed a lot of people. So I was kind of like, "But um, hey guys? Should we really be doing this?"

But then it was like I forgot about it, or it was just in the back of my head and I never told the others. I'm not sure. The girl was really sad and frustrated, until she suddenly saw this sign that had flashing, blurry letters, (it was some kind of ad), and then she froze like she'd been hypnotized. Her eyes went blank and she started running. We all followed her to this gravestone in a cemetery, where she stared at the engraving. The letters were all blurry just like the sign. Then suddenly she pulled out a shotgun and started firing at the sky! I started screaming, "I knew it! I knew this was bad!"

And then somehow one of the bullets hit her brother and he fell into the water near us, and slowly sank to the bottom, blood billowing up to the surface as he went. It was a very clear image, and we were all so horrified and sad. Then I woke up. But I wasn't scared or sad; it was more like I had just been watching a really riveting movie.

If only I could get these things to make a little more sense, I could turn them into really awesome stories or screenplays.

Hmm.
