Weird Dreams

I have the strangest dreams, Pamela calls them 'Movie dreams'

This mornings dream went as follows:

I am at Harvard for a 'Law Office System Administration' confererence. Which means System Administrators from Law offices get together and talk shop I guess. At one point I am in a hallway doing some serious Linux advocacy to a SysAdmin who doesn't believe that there is anything as good as Microsoft. I point out that Linux isn't 'as good' as Microsoft products on the server side ... it's better. He promises to give it a try and I give him my business card and tell him I'd be glad to help if needed.

Then the scene changes and I am up on the roof of some building and alarms start to go off, I head for the stairs, go down to the next floor and meet up with a security guard who informs me that some terrorists have taken over the campus and want everyone out of the building to get a headcount. As we start to go down the stairs we can see the terrorists down outisde the building. I tell the guard to give me his gun and I put it under my shirt, and have him drop his belt in the trash so it looks like he doesnt carry a gun. I am walking with a cane.

Apparantly at this point I have left the conference building and am over at a building filled with kids (10 and below) and teachers .. maybe this is the Harvard Magnet school .. I dunno ..

So, we get downstairs, its fall and leaves are everywhere, its very cool and breezy, the color is very vivid..

The terrorists are the gods of old, wanting to get some recognition I guess. But its strange because the leader is Odin, blond haired, one eyed, two Ravens on his shoulders, But he is completely mad. Absolutely insane, foaming at the mouth (almost like its a mix of Odin and Loki), and the only thing that is keeping him in line is a big burly guy (Thor) and this beautiful woman (Bast (she looks like Catherine Zeta Jones, oh and Odin looks like the roommate from the movie Notting Hill, Thor is .. this is the wierd part .. Vincent D'Onofrio as the Thor Character in "Adventures in Babysitting")).

We get hustled into the ground floor with the rest of the hostages. The teachers are trying to keep the kids calm and in fact are doing a good job, the kids seem to be oblivious to the actions occuring around them.

At some point the terrorists (remember, there are ALOT of 'gods of old') back off to key points around the campus, points of entry and escape. We are able to leave the building and walk around outside a bit.

The strangest thing occurs (apparantly up until now, everything that has occured has been pretty normal) there is this huge bike race that comes racing through the center of the campus, and mixed in the middle of it I see some of the lawyers getting on bikes and hoping to blend into the mass of bikes. and when I say mass, I mean like New York Marathon on bicycles.

I am wandering down this alleyway towards a loading dock and notice that its an exit off campus, and at the end of it are two guys guarding the entrance, but they seem more interested in smoking dope and doing heroin. So I get closer and they haven't noticed, and finally I get close enough to do a John Woo move on them and take them out. One of them looks like Jaime Oliver (the chef on food network, I wonder what god he is supposed to be) he is still alive, just wounded and unconscious. The other is dark haired and from a distance looks a bit like me, So I figure I can use this to my advantage.

About that time I see a little boy has followed me and I send him back to get the others.

then I woke up ..
