Dream with characters from "Lost"
Intense dream featuring characters from ABC's "Lost":
First, Linus setting up his own capture from season two--on the forest floor, tugging at a trip wire and pulling a baloon close to him to make his story believable. John Locke finds him as he's faking his own injury, but instead of Linus being captured he captures Locke.
Locke is in one of Linus' bunkers, as Linus begins discussing various details with him: the island, Locke's destiny, etc. Locke is in full health, walking spry, etc., as Linus shows him shelves of materials--he is in a warehouse room underground, stocked full with useful tools from lighter fluid to boxes of nails. Linus tasks him with building a "mast-head" out of some of the tools he has just seen, and then cuts the lights and walks away. But he leaves a flashlight on. Locke asks if he can use that, Linus laments his forgetting to take that away.
Locke finds a bucket and looks for a long pole. After this, Linus shows Locke a shelf of various poisons, and tells him as he pulls a bottle off the shelf that Locke will be using it to 'clean' the leg Linus is going to make him cut off to make sure he doesn't escape.
Then a 'flashback'--Locke is listening to a French song, sung by a woman with words that sound like 'two' and 'four,' and once these words sound there is an image of two young children in an iron boat like the Normandy-storming infantry carriers with a dying mother. The older girl (not the mother) says "You saved me, you got me off the island."
Then the ship lands on a different island--sandy, rock covered. There is a huge airport. The children are in military fatigues, and there is a third child with them. They carry assault rifles.
Locke sees them walk through a heavily-guarded gate, weary that children are carrying firearms. Indeed, a four-year old boy carries an RPG and begins wearing a more and more discomforted look as he is ignored by various adults running about. At some point he is holding a rifle instead of an RPG again, and he makes one very precise but accidental shot, causing an explosion "that destroys over half the base" as a narrator explains.
Locke is on the outskirts of the base, and is one of the survivors. Firetruck-like vehicles begin driving about, piloted by ben in white hazard suits. The trucks are spraying a liquid all over, and particularly at any people they pass. One passes Locke as he finds a plane that's boarding survivors. He joins a line of scared civilians who aren't sure what's going on, and is sprayed with whatever anti-radiation liquid is in the trucks once more.
Locke boards the plane, and finally I'm not sure if I'm still watching the character or I am the character. I find a small radio in my things, and take it out and turn it on on the food tray in front of me. I'm sitting very near the front of the passenger cabin. There is only one or two more rows in front of me. The song on the radio is the same French song from earlier in the dream. A businessman in the seat in front of me looks back and I ask if he wants me to turn it off--"no, up, turn it up" he says quietly, making a strange hand gesture.
There is also something about a girl on the plane--I think it's something about her first time flying. Perhaps she is sitting next to me. Her role is hazy. I remember long dark-red curled hair and bright green spots on her dress.
The plane begins driving around the remains of the airport as I listen to the song. I'm much more focused on the song than on the plane. The man sitting next to the one guy in front of me voices a fear, about the plane rocking about a little much for standard take-off procedure. I assure him it's nothing.
The plane begins lifting off the ground earlier than expected. I think, "what? I guess this scared guy is right, there's no way we'll make it into the air," and, sure enough, the plane corkscrews instead of taking flight. I see both the inside of the cabin and the outside of the plane as it skids upside down along the runway. I wonder if more people are hurt (after all, the reason we're all on the plane is because of a small 'nuclear'--or at least radiation-producing--explosion). About this time I wake up.
