Run With the Gods

I had a dream that I was in ancient Greek times. The main thing I believed to have caused me to dream about this is the fact that I was thinking about “gladiator shoes” that women wear now. I’m not a fan of sandals whatsoever but those shoes are awesome. I was just thinking how I love everything from that era, the clothing, art, myths, everything. So myself, a bunch of other humans, and a possibly demi-god, he could have been human but he had more reputation and power to save the rest of us. This whole group of us, we were on some sort of journey in a very large sandy deserted span of land and problems would come up and we would have to fight to save our lives. I was human but started using my head and doing many little things that started to give me a good reputation, making me more of a warrior/hero. The demi-god/leader of our group represented the actor, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played the Comedian in Watchmen, only at one point of the dream. When we were all in a house that was abandoned, not even sure why we were in it. As we were walking up all these stairs he was joking about a particular person getting him killed. There was graffiti and writing all over the walls of this narrow stairway. Just then there is writing of the guy's name, it was a common name, something Morgan, so we all knew it wasn't him but it was some sort of tribute to that person, the date of death was listed. So we all laughed and there was something going on between the Morgan guy and I. We were attracted to each other. So we were always walking near each other, so we smiled during eye contact at that moment, I may have made a joke back. Then we decided that these narrow walkways and countless doors were dangerous and just got out of the house as fast as we could. I don’t remember the exact order of things but at some point while waiting for people to exit a house. Morgan and I and others were standing by the porch and a random little fire was starting up on the edge of the porch in the path that many of the others were walking. People noticed the flames and were about to stop the next girl walking in that spot, I reacted quicker by grabbing dirt from the ground and tossing it at the fire and it stopped immediately. That was my first act that gave me a bit more respect and more status than just being a human. Morgan especially acknowledged my effort. In just about every other part of the dream Morgan looked different, more slender with long lighter hair and I remember more vividly that he was wearing Greek clothing; he didn’t represent anyone familiar to me from then on. In fact, he was the only one that I really remember that was wearing Greek clothing, I don't remember what other people were wearing at all. Many things happened on this journey, few of which I actually remember. Another conflict was when we came upon a large lake or ocean, there was a huge whale that was creating very large tides and creeping up on the shore and capturing people with its large mouth. Morgan and I saw it take a little girl. I, without any sense of fear, ran for the edge of the lake. Morgan followed me, possibly calling after me. Somehow the waves had knocked him and I into the water, I was trying very hard not to be near the whale. I don’t even remember how but Morgan had got us both out. The next thing I remember our large group was in a coliseum-like place except it did have a ceiling and the exterior walls were all glass windows with doors that were also more modern. At the center main stage ground area a monster man came out and one or a couple of the humans went to fight it. Meanwhile, Morgan, a boy not much younger than I, and myself were up at the end of the stairs near the entrance doors. We weren't too concerned about the monster for which he was considered easy. Morgan was trying to speak to the boy privately and he kept asking him for a kiss too. They were stepping outside the building to talk and I said something about Morgan leaving me alone with the monster, for the other humans could not defend themselves. Before Morgan said anything, the boy said, "You're practically a god now." They smiled and I went back inside. While I was waiting inside and just leaving the monster for the others, a bunch of people were walking in. It was basically a festival at this point, whatever we needed to do was now accomplished and everyone was happy and lively again. These people that were walking in all were beautiful, in modern clothing, all had dark hair and olive skin. I was mostly watching the women for I didn't notice the men, but they were all young in their 20s like myself. One girl had red, almost glowing, eyes. I only saw her briefly but it's interesting to note that witnessing that was not entirely unusual, there was no fear or suspicion of her. I was only fascinated for I had not seen it before. She was also one of the only lighter skinned and haired girls. These people were all strangers to me, but came for this celebration. Something tells me now that they were vampires. That was the end and I know that Morgan and I were eventually secretly dating and may have kissed at some point. I know what influenced the secrecy in my dream, I had watched My Boys before going to sleep. In the episode the main character just started dating one of her guy friends but in secret. I also remember that I was wearing the exact gladiator shoes I had imagined prior to falling asleep, however I do not remember what kind of clothes I wore or even what I looked like. It was a pretty awesome dream, though wish I remembered more.
