So you want a Revolution!

First of all, this is the longest dream I have had in a while. Here is some background info: In the Hunger Games series, a girl volunteers to be the face of the revolution called the Mockingjay. That is the basis of my dream....

My dream starts as I volunteer to be the Mockingjay for the uniting of 3 different nations. But the union is more sinister. You would think that a union is something good and peaceful, but the lady leading the union is an awful vengeful woman. But at the time I did not know that, I thought I was doing the best for the country. My first mission was to head to ancient Rome and bring the leader back to the evil queen! I have a team with me to help me infiltrate the main part of the city. I first head to the governors house. My team and I spend about an hour combing through the giant white columned house. No one was there except scavengers and animals seeking refuge. That part of the mission was a flop. We then head to the town center and find the young governor. He is surrounded in ruins with an army uselessly fighting for nothing. We easily capture the governor. He is young, blonde, muscular, and a patriot! I notice a certain connection between me and the governor, but I don't pay attention because I have a job to do. My team takes him away and I make a speech, or a declaration.

"I am the Mockingjay and I am here to unite nations. This is not destruction, but creation of a new life and order for all. Soon your lives will return to a new and improved lives as not a citizen of Rome, but a citizen of Union!"

No one cheers for me because everyone was exhausted from the war and fighting. My speech was not a fire, but a sizzle. This disappoints me and  I sullenly hop down from the ruins and join my team.

I then head to ancient Greece. Here we must find a governess and calm the people from the troubles of war. They are waiting for us. The governess regally hands herself over and the people mourn for her fallen country.
She turns to her people "Do not cry for me, for you must stay strong in order to rebuild. Never trust the union fully, but love your fellow citizens like your family because we are family."

We return to Persia with the governor and governess. The three leaders stand on the newly built stage in Persia demonstrating the newly formed unity. I am standing off to the side of the stage. The evil queen makes a speech:

"Loyal people of Persia, you have been patient through the war and your love for Persia is never questioned. We will begin a wonderful new era with our friends united from Rome and Greece." Loud cheers almost drowned out her speech. "But sadly in order to begin the Union, we must weed out all who do not trust and love the Union as much as you do! Governess of Greece you have soiled the minds of your people and put the Union in jeopardy. You are now sentenced to death." More cheers from the people and shocked faces from me and the governor of Rome. The Queen of Persia pulls out a gun and shoots the governess point blank. She drops. The crowd is unstoppable and begins cheering, shouting, and even dancing. The Queen has all of us quickly escorted to a secret location.

This location was a huge underground mansion. I had my own room and the Queen was deepest in the mansion. The governor of Rome had his own floor in the middle of the mansion with marble everywhere and everything was grand! The Queen had a lover of course and he was shady, but just as sinister as her. There is a strategy meeting with the Queen in her quarters. It was me, the Queen, her lover, and a few other people that I don't remember. The Queen announces that she intends to marry the governor to solidify the Union. The lover just laughs and the Queen caresses his face. I don't pay attention to the rest of the meeting. I am furious! Stupidly I volunteered for the greatest farce in history! After the meeting I run up to my quarters and find one of the Queen's harem lackeys. I knew I would have to make appearances in the next few days, but I couldn't face it. I tell her that she is now the Mockingjay, but she must act like me, dress like me, and never stray from my personality. This girl was overjoyed to be so highly respected. In all honesty I just chose her because she looked most like me.

I leave the girl who is overjoyed prancing around her room like a teenager. I immediately go above ground in civilian attire. And I feel free! I spend the day going around town and basically reflecting on my choices and my heart. I work through blaming myself for being so dumb and then realize there is another matter on my heart. I am in love with the governor of Rome and the Queen is about to take him from me! I figure out what I am going to do and start to head back to the mansion. But I something catches my eye. The proxy Mockingjay is doing a terrible job impersonating me. She is acting like a teenage pop star, all smiles, blowing kisses, signing autographs! She is supposed to be strong and tough a warrior like me! After seeing her on the TV I run back to the mansion. I find her giddy in her room. I slap her silly.
I tell her "You are not a popstar, but an image of hope in a stupid war. You must do better!"

She then gets in a rage. She yells back, "You left this job to me, You didn't want to do it anymore, I am now the Mockingjay and will do as I please with the role!"

I laugh and leave the girl. She's right, I don't want to responsibility anyway. I head downstairs to the governor's floor. I know what I have to do. There is nothing the Queen hates more than disloyalty and infidelity. I find the governor of Rome, who has taken to drinking because he failed his country. I grab him and he drunkenly smiles at me and I kiss him square on the mouth. I make sure people see so they can warn the Queen. But no one moves, so I start pulling of his clothes and he pulls of mine. We are about to get to business when the Queen shrieks.

My dream fades away as I'm laughing at the Queen, half naked in the lap of her drunken fiancee.

So there you have it one of the craziest dreams I have had in a while!

I watched a movie recently and the main character constantly had dreams. His dreams were so real that he began mixing his dream world with his actual world. When he fell asleep in one he would wake in the other. It was pretty interesting and it reminds me of when you ask if something was real or a dream.
