Bad Dreams

Dreams are so weird, how you can be watching something happen then suddenly be in the action. I know why I had this bit of a dream, but that didn't make it any better.

Cassie (that's her in the pic, one of the lead figures in The Agency, the game that I worked on which was cancelled yesterday... I had done her temp voice overs when I was at SOE-Seattle) and some guy were waiting for a helicopter to pick them up at a resort. The couple wasn't working, they were on a holiday and the helicopter ride was to be a tour overlooking the islands.

The helicopter lowered enough so that Cassie could pull herself up into it and I thought, "That's what's important; she can do pull ups supporting her own weight."

Once she and her companion were inside the helicopter, I saw things from her point of view. The pilot turned the chopper slightly in order to begin the tour. I realized that Dan was Cassie's companion as I asked the pilot how long he'd been doing tours. He said he hadn't been licensed yet.

"You at least have a pilot's license?" I laughed. I glanced out a side window and noticed that the water was being whipped into waves by the rotors and that we were slowly falling into the water as the pilot manuevered.

We hit the water and I said, "Open the door; equalize the pressure!" The pilot was fumbling with belts and locks and seemed concerned only with his own safety. Dan sat still. I shrugged his hand from my shoulder and grabbed the door handle, taking a deep breath. Water filled the cabin as I opened the door and began to climb out.

And awoke, upset. Stupid dreams.
