Last night i dreamt that i was being buried alive. i was one of three secret spy-soldiers who were tasked with infiltrating an enemy graveyard. the mission was to lie down in one of the dug-out but empty graves, then pop up and shoot down all the enemy soldiers during the funeral of an important enemy figurehead. so i lay down in the grave, a dead body was put down on top of me (the corpse looked like a a zombie Plants VS Zombies), and i waited. then apparently, during the time i was lying there our side managed to claim the territory and the friendly soldiers seemingly forgot that i was there and started filling up the grave with soil. i shouted out to them but they couldn't hear me, and when i tried getting out of the grave i realised that it had suddenly become too narrow and i was jammed inside. so i just lay there with my hand outstretched, trying to wave to them in vain, as the soil kept pouring in. the weirdest part of the dream was that it was from the perspective of a character breaking the fourth wall of a comedy, so even while being buried alive, i could hear laughter tracks and clapping.
and then i woke up. it was about 3am at the time, i think. and the first thing that came to mind was a short film that my mom told me about many years ago. she watched it as a teenager on television, from a programme called "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour". yup, the same Alfred Hitchcock of "Psycho" fame, so you can probably guess that it was a horror short. i'll just copy and paste the synopsis from the wiki:
Convicted bank robber John Perry is sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in a state prison lumber camp. Determined to get out, he befriends an alcoholic inmate named Doc. Doc is in charge of the prison infirmary as well as burial of the dead. Doc makes an offer to John: if John will finance an operation for Doc's granddaughter, he will get him out of prison. Doc's plan is to hide John inside the coffin of the next inmate who dies. The coffin will then be buried and dug up after the gravediggers and guards leave. John will then make his escape. All goes according to plan, until Doc fails to dig John up. John is horrified to learn why after the shroud slips off the face of the corpse sharing the coffin with him: Doc died of a heart attack the night before.
except when she told me the story she misremembered it as a partnership between a grave robber and an undertaker. when you recall stuff like this at 3am, it's kind of hard to go back to sleep.
today's econs case study was also a horror story. didn't even manage to start on the last question, which means 10 marks gone right off the bat. i just hope that everything else can help buoy that stupid blunder. maths and chem again on friday, so hopefully i can make up for the missing half of a question from friday's chem paper.
i've nearly always had dreamless nights before the promos started. i think stress makes you have weird dreams :/
edit @ 11.55pm:
ok, i've spent majority of the day slacking, and as a consequence i found these two hilarious youtube videos which i feel must be posted here to share to the world and also to archive for posterity. the first one is possibly the awesomest "satanic" video ever:
i love how it digs at blindly-following extremist religion while still not insulting christianity as a whole, and there are tons of epic quotes: "But we are satanists; we desecrate what you love by creating images of Jesus in COMFORTABLE POSITIONS"
the second one is less loaded and basically more random:
once again, quotable quotes abound: "Power spawning babies you'll have so many babies 400 BABIES!" by the way you can search youtube for Powerthirst 2 and 3; they're funny too, but not as funny as the original (aren't all sequels like that?). i think i've given myself a full cardio/ab workout from laughing at these two videos repeatedly XD
