Dream Identity

Identity seems to be a fickle thing in DreamWorld. Last night my dream began at the apex of a wedding celebration - I was the groom, my bride was unknown to me, and so were all the attendees. I was confused. Nevertheless, I followed the social protocol perfectly, and no one noticed that I had no idea who I was. I received many congratulations by people I did not know at all, and attended the wedding party under outdoor tents. Eventually the bride and I were left alone. We were almost in our bridal room when I realized that I did NOT really want to be wedded to this unknown woman, and figured that my best bet to getting out of my weird mess was to avoid spending the night with her. So I looked for excuses, left her waiting in the room, I snuck my way through the hotel hallways, and escaped from the hotel.

That was the most solid part of my dream. In the rest of it, I remember some kind of giant monster that dissolved itself into acid/toxic/omni-dissolving waste and flooded the hotel we were in, so the bride and I ran through the hallways, alert at every corner to avoid the flood, managing to escape through a window at the last minute, very Hollywood-style. And then for some reason we traveled to Greece, were we found my sister (the sister of the REAL me) taking pictures with a nice tripod she had just acquired.

And then I heard the morning alarm ring.
