As I sat here recollecting my thoughts and dream memory after I woke up. I remembered essentially a glimpse of perhaps the start of the dream. or maybe it's just made up. I think it was supposed to be my character on a bright sunny day in warm weather with green grass by some kind of tan building complex. No, it is not made up, I am now remembering more towards the start of the dream. I recall going around this area in racers. I have a feeling we were racing around in pairs on some kind of vehicle. It might have supposed to been a college. Anyways, onto the second half of the dream. So, we were soldiers. I know it included a couple people from ROTC, Washburn and Collier both giving orders (that I disagreed with) at times. We were sometimes maybe seen as space marines (Warhammer 40k) but mostly just regular foot soldiers. Our task was to explore this giant desert area. I kind of want to say it was a different planet (maybe even Mars with a breathable atmosphere). We would spread out and search. Picking up anything we could in a Game-like fashion. In fact, I remember pressing a trigger like on an Xbox controller in order to pick stuff up. After running out of space in bags or whatever my character would put stuff in my "groin slot". So for this animation (as if it were a first person video game) my character, dressed in white sci-fi armor with black/grey gloves, would pick up the item (big coins or whatever) and put it into a circular slot that would open up near my waist and it would close after entering. I would then feel something slip next to/on/in my body perhaps at my groin area. It felt very uncomfortable... Yeah, very weird... For some reason the best way I can describe the armor I think is like Halo 4 Robot Grunts essentially (white with black grooves and stuff), which I only know that game from Machinimas. I only remember being in this armor when picking up stuff. I think mostly we were in dark green and brown camoflague in a bright tan sand environment. I also remember parts being like Minecraft for some reason. There was cube cactus and something like sugarcane. There was also like a low poly web that I tried to climb to get something. It was funny because it was all realistic sand dunes and stuff with these couple Minecraft style things. I think we returned then to a house to set our loot and drop some stuff. For some reason, it was my grandparent's house. While there, Washburn had just given the order to put our bag down and our pack covered with cardboard boxes to make it look like "guitars" in order to not scare the aliens upon first contact. In the meantime, some others and I were pissed off that we were doing this since the aliens (assumed to be primitive animals) wouldn't care or know if something was a weapon, or a guitar. We were putting cardboard on with packing tape on the dining room table. So I guess it was at least implied we were carrying two things, and now we only carried one, leaving the bag at the house. Maybe it was our weapon we put cardboard around, I'm not sure... It didn't seem like it, maybe it was implied though. So there was also an element of RTS, Base Building in this dream. I was setting up a drone network so we could scout places out before we went there. I was pissed off at Collier for having us move out too quickly so I couldn't yet setup the surveillance. I recall looking at like a gamey map coordinating drones across hexes of the desert. But we left too early so I couldn't set everything up yet. Thing to note, I recall being in my grandparent's house in the dream, but I don't recall really going to or from it. It didn't really fit in with the barren wasteland (but also daytime, bright and sunny) environment. I don't know if we inexplicably teleported there or what. So then at the end of the dream. I was looking at a new version of a gamey map that was almost fully explored. Apparently it was Warcraft now. We, I think we were somewhere in the Mid Southern area surrounded by small bands of the Orcish Hordes. In the Northern were some Alliance (Human) strongholds and some mountains I think. to the North East some Orc Armies, perhaps laying siege to the fortresses in those Northern Mountains. Quick note, the map seemed about the size of the Planetside 2 (free massive FPS game) It was implied at least a few of us were looking at this map and a female voice was essentially narrating. She said about how the Orcs were expanding. She said she was surprised they seemed unaffected by "the taint" or something. Apparently they had (semi) good (or at least not pure evil) intentions since they wanted to conquer and rule in joint with other races (under one nation perhaps?) Interesting Dream. I'm not sure if we actually ever fought anything. I think I remember people calling for help and clearing maybe some bodies or something. I'm not sure if we ran into any orcs/primitive aliens. I guess the first part was connected being the same military group and a similar setting.
