Very, very, very, very, VERY weird dream.(REALLY long)

Now, you may have to read this several times for it to make sense. Even then it may not make sense. This is a dream I had about a month ago that inspired me to write a series of short stories entitled [I]The Coaster Heroes.[/I] This was only a dream. I don't know WHY I had this dream(do we ever really know?), or what enspired it. But it seems a lot like anime, and a bit like a comic book. Again, it is very confusing, and you probably won't understand it at all, but I just wanted to post it.


My dream starts in the living room of a very large house, a mansion if you will. Walter Bolliger, Claude Mabillard, Carl Bacon, Ron Toomer, Stan Checketts, The Intamin Guy(I don't know his name, but he had an Intamin hat on), and the Vekoma Guy(same deal here). They are all sitting in couches and chairs watching TV. Suddenly a news bullitan comes up with this announcement: "Millennium Force is under attack by unknown fighters! These odd fighters appeared out of nowhere and just began opening fire on the ride just as a train left the station. All passengers have been safely evacuated and the military is en route."

The Intamin Guy, without waiting for the reporter to finish, jumped up, and, blasting a hole in the cealing, flew off at a high speed. Stan, Ron, Carl, and the Vekoma Guy flew through the hole he created and followed him. B&M dissappeared.

B&M reappeared behind the others in what looked liked one of Kumba's trains. Only it was inclosed, like a car or something. The Intamin Guy was not in sight, but everyone knew where he was heading: MF.

The Intamin Guy showed up there a few minutes before the others. What he saw was this: MF was under attack by several fighters. These fighters looked like a single car of a Togo standup(I swear this is what I saw. I personally have anything against Togo, they were just there.). He then held up an open palm(here comes the anime!), and a small ball of blue energy emerged from it. He then thrust his hand forward, launching the ball at the nearest fighter. It hit it and exploded, destroying the fighter.

By now all the others had show up, and they all had a good time destroying the fighters. Stan launched white balls of(this is only a guess, and also what I used in my short stories) compressed air that did tremendous amounts of damage to anything they hit. B&M fired twin lasers from the front of their so called "Beemer Car". Carl and Ron seemed to have the same power: they could launched beams of energy from their fists. The Vekoma Guy had the same power as the Intamin Guy, only his balls of energy were green.

After a short while, all the fighters were flaming piles of scrap. But then, from the lake, came a massive ship. This thing was huge. Probably about half the size of the whole park of Cedar Point. It was just huge. From this ship emerged the oddest thing I have ever seen: a massive Godzilla-like creature, only orange, and(get this) with Ed Markey's face.

Markey slowly walked toward MF, not paying any attention to the balls and beams of energy that exploded against him. And with one massive swipe, brought down all of MF's first hill(I know, horrible, isn't it?)

Everyone stopped firing and stared in horror. The Intamin Guy Began shaking violently. He then screamed so loudly, it could be heard in England.(It is odd how I know this: The view suddenly changed: it was like a camera was attached to the bottem of a jet as it flew over land and sea. The view stopped on a castle or something, so I assumed it was in England. A faint echo of his scream could be heard. Then the view just went back to the Intamin Guy.)

He now had both his hands in front of him, and a ball of energy the size of an ATV was forming. He then charged Markey, and when the ball hit him, it exploded in a massive white flash. When the smoke cleared it was found that no damage was done.

So all the coaster heroes attacked in force. But none did any damage to markey. As B&M flew in close to Markey, a hatch opened on the top of the last three cars of the "Beemer Car", missile launchers appeared from these hatches. They fired a volley of about fifty missiles in about three seconds. Still no damage was done to markey.

Now Markey decided to attack: he shot a red beam out of his eyes, hitting the "Beemer Car", sending it spiralling down. B&M ejected just in time. They wore rocket packs and had hand-held laser cannons that fired balls of white energy.

Then he fired at Carl. He hit him right in the chest, sending him flying. But they still fought on. Then something weird, which I still don't really unerstand happened: Ron some how got a light saber-type sword that he used to cut a twenty foot gash in Markey's side. All the coaster heroes fired into this gash, making it larger, and finally doing some damage to Markey.

After a while Markey retreated back to the ship he entered in, and it took off and, for some reason, the coaster heroes did not pursue it. Instead they flew down to the smoking remains of MF, and using their powers, rebuilt it.
The dream ended right there.

There was a lot I left out of this story that I didn't think was important. If you would like the full version, PM me and I'll email it to you.

Thats not right. Wat were you thinking about before you fell asleep? I dreamed a tornado took down the power tower the day i heard a Vertigo tower fell, so usually it linked to what you were thinking about earlier

That was interesting, and funny when The Intamin Guy screamed and it could be heard in England! But I have a hard time believing that you actually dreamed that, since so many details were mentioned. How the heck did you memorize what Markey, B&M, Carl Bacon, Ron Toomer, Stan Checketts, The Intamin Guy, and the Vekoma Guy look like?? This sounds like a Dekalb dream lol!

Well, I have seen pictures of all of em. Except for whoever runs Intamin and Vekoma. I don't even know their names. But they had hats on from their companies. And I knew B&M were B&M because A) I have seen what they look like and B) THEY WERE FLYING IN A BEEMER TRAIN!

Same with Stan, Carl, and Ron. I have seen pictures of them.

And Markey. Who would forget this evil moron? No one. Especially me. After it came out that he wanted more inspections of coasters, I looked him up, copied his picture and edited it so it said: Markey is evil! And I made it so he had horns growing out of his head. I will always remember what he looks like.

When I first had this dream, I didn't know who was who except for B&M, the Intamin Guy, and the Vekoma Guy. The next day I looked em up and found out who was who.

The subconcious is very mysterious. It remebers everything, even if you never experienced it. If you can figure that out, you're good.

And about all the details: I have a good memory. I could give you their shoe colors if I wanted to: Stan had brown, B&M, Carl, and Ron had black, Vekoman and Intamin guys had white.

As I mentioned, this is actually a SHORTENED version of my dream. The full version would not fit in one post, so I went through and removed minor details. Again, if you would like the full story, PM me.

Well then, I wish I had as vivid, awesome dreams as you! My dreams are usually like 5 minutes long and make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The most intriguing thing about it to me was the colours your mind chose for the different companies. Firstly, Intamin had blue orbs - this is because Intamin's biggest impression on the industry was Millennium Force, which is blue. Stan had white - pretty much all rides by S&S are white, so this makes sense. Vekoma was green, the Deja Vu's - probably their best accomplishment. Also, you'll notice that the Arrow guys don't have a colour of their own, possibly because there is too much to choose from, so your brain might have left out this detail as a blurry patch. Also, B&M didn't seem to have a colour either - I don't think a colour would describe B&M seeing as there are so many ground breaking rides etc, your brain too left out such a detail again.

Could it be that the reason for Ed Markey's colour - orange, was brought upon by Goliath at SFMM, isn't this one of Markey's main targets in his bill?

Quite interesting - it is amazing how the brain works. You can have a dream where no one looks familiar, yet when you are looking through a book or something, you see that person and feel you have met them before.

There's some things that we'll never understand, especially ourselves. That is cool that you had such a vivid dream. As I was saying, many things are better left unexplained, like how Coaster Boy memorized the guy's shoe colors! WOW.

I don't really believe that the dream was so vivid, but good story. Possible idea for a future adventure thread. I would not believe that you had this dream, but Richard's analysis makes sense.

A deka dream?? I don't even know what all of them exactly look like...

I had a strange dream today... I wonder if it should be posted separately... it's kinda similar...
*I'm at school in my biology class (who knows why). B&M and about 7 other people (the 7 people being B&M's helpers or something) are talking in a sort of assembly thing. Then this assembly ends, and I try to look for B&M so I can go talk to em. I keep coming up to the helpers, who keep sending me in different directions... Then, at lunchtime, I come up to one of the helpers and she says... "B&M are just leaving... there they are..." and I run to where they are getting into a car... then the dream ends... I'll never know if I got to meet them or not :eek:

Actually Carl, Ron, and B&M's beams were red.
