Had the strangest dream...

OK, yeah, that might be an exaggeration because well, most dreams are strange. But it was so vivid that I remembered and could replay most of it when I woke up...

It started with me in my home town, Surabaya, driving to get back home. My grandmother was in the car with me but she was incredibly talkative, so unlike her. The traffic was insane and we weren't moving anywhere. My grandmother's non-stop questions about everything started to annoy me so I pulled over to this bus stop (which is weird cos you won't find anything like that in Surabaya) and we got out of the car. Suddenly, the car is gone and we waited for a bus that'd take me home. That would have been the first and only time I rode a bus in Surabaya! Anyways, it was a huge bus stop so most of the buses in the city stop there (apparently) and my grandmother said that she didn't want to go home; she wanted to go to this town that I've never heard of, that's (supposedly) not too far from our city. She kept saying that she could just take this one bus somewhere and transit to another at some point and eventually she'll get there. I was confused; because, for some reason, I just HAD to go home, and I can't just leave her by herself. I dragged her (gently, of course) away from the bus stop walking towards home and suddenly, she was gone....

I was wearing cargo pants and a tight, black t-shirt, holding some kind of a gun. There were two other people around me who looked like me and they were running outside of the building, holding their weapons up. I thought I should follow them, and I did. And suddenly there were these people wearing navy blue who were shooting at us. So I shot at them. I didn't even know if we're the good guys or the bad guys. :\ And I realized, that I'm in an FPS game! There were only three of us, and at least 20 of them! Obviously we lost, but I was too scared to die so whenever I felt like I was losing, I did this gesture with my left hand near my head that takes me to the previous save point. And we did it again. And again. And we kept on losing. Because, just like in real life, I suck at FPS. And we were outnumbered. That didn't matter, apparently, because after the thousandth time "restarting," one of my teammates mentioned that we don't have to do that. We can do other tasks first. And off we went...

Our clothes changed to normal clothes, and apparently we had a base. So we went there, and I went to my room. There was this girl from my high school, two years older and we weren't even close, who was sitting in my bed. We had a long conversation about...nothing. Well it seemed important at the time and then I was on my computer doing this thing she told me to do. After she left, I went to the bathroom to wash up but I heard something strange from the bedroom. I walked out and there was nothing, but suddenly I became nervous and I grabbed a few flash drives (had something to do with what I was doing on my computer but I don't remember them being there when I was actually doing it – but then again this is all a dream) and I ran out of my room. Met up again with the two people from before.

I was telling them about the noises I heard and showed them the flash drives when the taller guy took it and shoved them in his pockets. He was saying something about us having to deliver them to this guy so we started walking. Out of nowhere, there were police cars and S.W.A.T vans (or at least they looked like they're the government/army type) and my friends ducked. I followed them. At that point I thought we were the bad guys, going against the government. But, are the government really the good guys? We're part of the rebels! =P

Anyways, one of my friends shouted, "they're going to the base!" And without warning all three of us ran towards our base and sure enough, there they were. All these officials with their weapons, communicating through those ear-pieces. It was just like before, only three of us and so many of them! But apparently we just had to do this. So we ran up to the building and kicked down a door, then a glass panel. A couple guards pointed their guns at us but the guy on my right suddenly put his right hand towards his temple (Shawn Spencer style) and jedi mindtricked the guards that they actually were escorting us around the area. We saw a woman and two young men being taken away by the officials and one of my friends said, "The woman's name is <insert name>. Sounds familiar?" I can't remember the name but it was quite unique and was said in the voice and tone like a hint in games. Like, you know, remember this cos you'll need it later to pass a level type of thing. But then we stopped walking when we saw this guy... Didn't really see him at first but apparently his jedi mindtrick is even stronger and made the guards throw us out. And my friends looked pretty scared. We ran towards a car (a really nice one) and I got onto the driver seat.

Time seemed to stop for a little while we were in the car. We were able to take a breather, and actually took time to set the GPS and picked a radio station. Then the back door opened and one of my co-workers and his girlfriend went in. Was pretty random... One of my teammates suddenly said something about us not gonna make it. I suddenly had the urge to step out of the car. As I did and turned around, I saw none other than Stephen Fry standing by the car! He was the guy that we saw earlier than made the guards throw us out. He was also something of a god in this game that we're in. He said to me, "you disappoint me." And for some reason that broke my heart. I reached out to grab his arm and said, "we're sorry. Are you coming with us?" "No. But tell me where you're headed, go there, and then stay there until I arrive." I nodded, opened the car door and asked my coworker where we're going. He mentioned a place, and my teammate who was sitting at the front passenger seat re-set our GPS. Stephen Fry nodded, showed us a little smile, before walking away. Then I went back in the car and drove away.

Then I woke up.

But I wanna know what happens next!! I wanna know who that woman was, and who we were, and why the hell was Stephen Fry there?! Gah...
