dream time

impyHad the oddest dream last night. First thing you need to know, in it, everyone was dead. Not in a horrible corpses littering the ground way, just that everyone in the dream has died prior to them showing up.
There's this guy we'll call Ted, although he never had a name in the actual dream. Ted is floating around the afterlife and things are pretty fun. Do what you want, when you want, and you aren't chained to one place. It's sort of like haunting a place [as we aren't talking heaven, hell, or even purgatory] but... not. Ted has a friend to keep him company. We'll call his friend Skippy because it's a stupid name and Skippy? Skippy's a plastic doodad thing. That should glow, and occasionally does, but often is just white plastic with the ability to speak. Ted and Skippy are best friends, and I don't know why Skip's a piece of plastic, other than he isn't really, it's just how he's chosen to be seen. It's a dream, you go with it.
Anyway, Skip and Ted have many adventures and I can't recall a one. As other people die and pass through Ted's area of the afterlife, he and Skip tend to comment and occasionally interact with the deceased. It's part of the adventure thing. Somehow Skippy isn't with Ted when Ted meets Marie, and Skippy isn't around when Ted and Marie end up with some weird adventure. When it's over [I don't know what it was] Ted says, you should meet Skip. You'd be perfect for him. Skip appears, still a plastic doodad, and Marie is one too. Only she fits around Skip and when they connect, they light up, like Skip was supposed to all this time. Only together they're red, but that's just another sign of perfection. So Skip and Marie decide they're going to get married. Since they're dead, it really doesn't matter who oversees the ceremony, so Ted agrees to do so since he did introduce the love things.
I hold Marie and Skip in my hands like toys, and when I hold them out to put them on their designated spot, they morph into really pretty miniature silver coffins. Again, sounds morbid and gross, but... isn't. Ted performs the ceremony, Skip and Marie are now little lights [the coffins opened to let them out] and they're all kinds of excited. They're going on their honeymoon, they don't know where, and Ted is a little upset, but also pretty happy for Skip. Best friend and all. So Skip points out that Ted doesn't have to be alone, and then Marie points to me.
I should point out that until the coffin magic, I was just observing like it was a movie, k? And even then, I figured me taking part was a glitch in the system. Apparently not so. I'm all flustered that they can see me, as I've spent the last for-freakin-ever shadowing Ted and Skip and they just now acknowledge me? The hell? Ted looks at Skip, the light, as if he's insane. Skip points out that, hello she's right there, she has been for ages, and dude, you've met everyone else on the planet. Literally. Ted's still unsure of this logic, so Skip and Marie both say, "Don't you want more from your life? Do you want this to be it?"
And Ted snorts and then yells, "What life? We're dead!"
Until then my feelings had been hurt because who wants your best attribute to be, "Well, she's there?" but that cracked me up. The dream might've continued had I not heard this strange humming right in my ear.
Freaking bug was trying to climb in my ear. That woke me up real fast. *shudder*
Might have to find a way to use Skip and Ted one of these centuries. Weird little dream that left me feeling warm and fuzzy and I don't know why, considering how it ended.
