WiFi in Barren Landscapes

breezeshadowA small group of people -- mostly strangers, but with a few people I knew -- was stranded on a barren planet. We all needed to get off of this planet for whatever reason. It may have been blowing up, but judging by how it looked -- orange sands spreading out for miles, sickly-looking trees here and there, and putrid oceans -- the place just wasn't suitable for human habitation. We were all to leave on a spaceship -- it was an impressive-looking vehicle, much like you'd find in Star Trek or Star Wars, and weirdly enough it had the same general colour of the planet. I guess everything became that colour if it stuck around long enough.
We were all racing to get in line to get on the ship and get back home. There was limited space, though, and some people would have to stay behind, to certain death. My group was late getting there, and I remember scrambling over a sad-looking wooden fence to stand in the long line in front of the spaceship. I had reserved a space on the ship and was certain I would get in.
Yeah well I didn't. Only two or three people were in front of me when the ship closed it doors and got ready to depart. I was devastated and frantic. I had reserved a space, after all, and was horrified. I tried to get in, but was rejected, despite my reserved space. I collapsed to my knees in the orange dirt-sand, watching as the ship's turbines kicked in. Yes, the spaceship was run on turbines. It had propellers too, and thin long slit windows all along its side. It was pretty sweet.
I watched the ship rise slowly into the air and depart, more like a airship than a spaceshuttle. I know there were a few people behind me now, one of them a grizzled man with an impressive black beard. I curled into a ball on the ground and fought tears, though I don't think I was successful.
The scene switched to inside the spaceship, which looked like a fancy airplane. There were plush sheets, then some counters or something. A flight attendant person walked over to an empty sheet -- mine -- and picked up a pamphlet. I remember thinking "No no that's mine! Now you know! Turn around! Turn around!" but they just shrugged off the pamphlet and put it aside. I remember seeing Neil in one of the seats with a laptop, and there were other people from anime club as well.
I had a vision of the spaceship reaching Earth or at least some place with an ocean. The inhabitants would go into some sort of hibernation and be ejected out of the ship in a cone-shaped... Thing. But when the rescuers opened up, everyone would either be missing or dead, not sure which. And then some silly voiceover said "And this proves -- you can't clone people from their skeleton!" Or something equally nonsensical. So basically I had a vision that the spaceship's journey was fruitless -- everyone would be dying anyway.
Neil ((Nile; now that's an awesome typo)) was playing League of Legends. Apparently, I was too, and had gotten pretty good in the small span I was playing. I saw his character and considering telling him about my vision -- about how he was going to die, basically. But I decided it was fruitless, and stayed anonymous in the game. I remember some scene with game characters who were, strangely enough, talking animals. Pretty sure LoL doesn't involve talking animals.
I don't remember much else, except visions of flying over the orange waters of the barren world. Also me having the mental equivalent of a wiseman. Then I woke up before anything interesting could happen.
What the hell, brain. I saw Neil's AIM status that he was playing League of Legends last night. Did this dream result from that? Also, for the record, LoL is a multiplayer game. Which means you need internet access. Where the hell did I find WiFi on a barren landscape, considering I remember thinking in the dream "I will only have my laptop for a few hours, seeing as there is no electricity here..."? I had WiFi but no electricity? Lolwhut.
I can see symbolism in this dream too, though I won't say anything, because it's a lot more fun to see other interpretations. Also to just shake my head over it, because wow, really?
For the record, this was another colour-intensive dream, though whereas the other one was mostly dark hues, this one was very orange and gold. I have an HDTV for a brain.
Not much else to say right now. Mother driving me insane, but I'm not sure how to get my thoughts into coherent words and sentences right now. So I'll just play Sims III. *chuckle*
Tschuess.
