DREAM
It's the future.
I hang out with some friends and it goes pretty well. I sense that a girl going out with a friend of mine is hesitant and withdrawn though, and I'd like to know why. We split up the friend group, and I end up going home with this girl.
We start playing video games and getting to know each other, when this girl flips a holographic switch and reveals that she is actually a very masculine man. I ask why he's deceiving our friend, and he says that he just likes the company, but will reveal himself and see what happens soon. Then I realize he's actually a friend of mine.
I'd like to know what he's working on, and he pulls back a curtain to reveal a chair with a monitor.
He has to go, so I just sit in the chair with the program running. An attendant comes up to me and asks if I need help.
"I'm doing my friend's work for the weekend," I say.
He says, "Oh!" and reveals a massive machine several stories high in the middle of an ice rink behind another curtain.
I explore it. It's a machine designed to count and exterminate all Icelandic people. I have to destroy it!
A woman claiming to be my mother comes out of nowhere before I can destroy the machine. She has force powers and starts choking me to death, taunting me about being a weak, pathetic daughter she'll be glad to be rid of. I start to find my own, inherited force powers and I counter hers. We fight for control of my throat. I win, and crush her machine.
I run out of there, waiting to see which of her minions are going to fight me, but no one does. They were working there, but they didn't care about what they were doing.
INTERPRETATION
This dream doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Some dreams are more nonsensical than others, I think. For example, very little about this dream seems to relate to my friend, I haven't been around any ice rinks or exposed myself to Icelandic culture recently, and my mom is nothing like the woman who called herself my mother in this dream. I probably just choked in the dream due to sleep apnea.
I think the fact that the minions didn't fight me is one of the more interesting things about the dream. Most people don't care that much about their work. It's true.
