Weird dreams you've had
Is it cold in here?:
Last night I explained to someone in detail how to patch a parachute. By "in detail", I mean I went as far as saying how many stitches per inch of what grade of thread.
I'm in my fourth decade of not doing parachute rigging. I cannot guess where that dream came from.
Morituri:
Last night I was in some kind of dystopian sci-fi adventure, getting chased by some shiny gold-colored robots.
I didn't know why they were chasing me, or why I was running from them, but both of these were definitely true and very important.
Finally, I was cornered down a blind alley with nowhere left to go, but as they approached I realized I knew a way to just teleport out of there.
And opened my eyes. In my bedroom. It wasn't "teleporting" so much as "waking up."
I even remember wondering, just before I did it, what the creatures in my dreams would see - me just vanishing ? - when I went away back to my waking world.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I have dreams where I've forgotten something - something dreadfully important - and I HAVE. TO. FIND. IT! And while I'm trying to find it (whatever it is, and where ever it is, which seldom make any sense whatsoever related to anything going on in my actual life), all the evil movie villains I've ever hated are trying to find me. And kill. Slowly and painfully. The closer they get, the more likely I'm going to wake up, then try to go back to sleep, only to reenter the same dream, often near the same spot, and then wake up again [repeat for rest of the night]. It's exhausting to wake up exhausted, sweating, and terrified.
I've tried just giving up, leaving the bedroom, firing up my PC, and surfing/computing for the rest of the night, but that just makes the same cycle repeat the next night.
LTK:
I had a very movie-like dream that featured a secret-agent-type man who, when gravely injured, would involuntarily split his skin open and reveal an entirely different man underneath. This guy was evil, and worked against whatever his counterpart would be trying to achieve, but when he got gravely injured, he'd split open and reveal the original man once again. Neither had any memory of what the other one had been doing while he was 'out', so they were locked in this struggle of trying to find out what the other was up to and thwarting it.
On top of that, the secret agent type was protecting a teenage boy who had this same - power? curse? - except under the boy's skin was a teenage girl who was also evil. Except, she hated the evil guy and did whatever she could to kill him, which made it easier for the secret agent to work against him but much harder to protect the boy, as he was just an innocent kid who kept appearing in dangerous situations because of the evil girl.
Well, who wants to buy the movie rights to this one?
Morituri:
I dunno about movie rights, but that's actually got a hell of a potential for a truly fun (if messed-up) short story. Or, you know, Stephen King would know how to embroider it into a killer novel.
I remember a different story, which had in it a pair of suburban cannibals - basically a husband-wife serial-killing duo whose 'thing' apparently had been trapping and eating children. They were cursed to spend eternity in Hell alternately starving, and eating each other. I thought that their peculiar story was interesting and probably deserved more pages than it got, but they were largely incidental in the context of a larger story that was mostly about something else.
