Last night, I dreamed that [livejournal.com profile] orcjohn and I were professional monster hunters, and we were called in to take care of a dinosaur that was ravaging the countryside. When we got there, we discovered that the dinosaur was some sort of battlemech in the shape of a tyrannosaurus rex, which meant to us one thing: salvage! We climbed up the monster, ejected a little fellow in a jumpsuit that was driving it, and took possession of the thing. We then discovered that it was like a transformer, and would compact down into a monster truck, which was really cool, so we converted it, and drove the truck to the Ritual for Business, for which our monster-hunting gig had us running late.

The RfB had been re-envisioned as a musical, which was being performed in the Theater I Wasn't Supposed To See. There were also acrobats, and a woman with an accordion. The accordionist had some role in advancing the meeting agenda, but [livejournal.com profile] orcjohn and I didn't know what it was, because we'd missed the beginning and we had a hard time catching in. But the important part is that [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants and [livejournal.com profile] triadruid were there, and I left with them.

We drove downtown, where a kaiju film was being made, and were drafted to be extras. I was issued a binder top for this purpose, since they were shorter on men than women. This somehow worked. That would be the part where this was a dream. We worked on the film for a while, which involved being dangled off a bridge in one part, and then we went back to EHQ.

When we got home, I took a nap on the couch. (Yeah. I dreamed about sleeping. This should be the most efficient use of my time ever.) And while I was sleeping, I had a dream. In this dream within a dream, as it were, I dreamed that [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants, [livejournal.com profile] triadruid and I were getting married (to each other), with [livejournal.com profile] diermuid officiating. We were having an argument about whether or not you could use the phrase "holy matrimony" in the ceremony. [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants was measuring for rings with blue ribbon.

Then, I woke up from that dream (but was still actually asleep), and I was thinking "Wow, that was odd", when [livejournal.com profile] zylch comes in and congratulates me on my upcoming wedding. So then, I'm really confused. Was she seeing inside my brain, or did the conversation I dreamed really happen? I couldn't work it out. So I started to do some sort of divination that involved cutting squares out of a quilt in some way, but I never figured it out at all, because the alarm went off.

Now, I'm pretty sure that the first bit, with [livejournal.com profile] orcjohn and the battlemech monster is about the Gaia budget and finance issues, which we were discussing last night. But I'm losing the symbolism about the time the accordion comes in. Also, sadly, the meta-sleeping did not seem to net me any more restedness. Oh well.

Funny ole world, innit?

The humor of this is that your alternate universe self (the one with the nosering) is actually a professional monster hunter.

Your encyclopedic knowledge of my alternate self makes you very, very suspicious, Mr. Spinning. Is there something we should know about your inter-reality expeditions?

It's true, I have overplayed my hand, and if I'm very lucky the para-reality police will not take notice of my online scribblings.

Which begs the question, if you could travel to and infinite number of alternate realities and had no moral compunction about how you left them, what sort of things would you do?

Depends. How would I be travelling?

Assume that you acquired a terribly clever and convenient device produced by the McGuffin Corporation. In the interest of diveristy and general mayhem, let's say it's disguised as a sex toy of your choice.

Needless to say, this would give new meaning to phrases like "thump your magic twanger, froggy".

(Also, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a cryptozoologist. So I'm glad somewhere along the timelines I followed up on that.)
