2014-04-07 (Monday) - Entry 1347 - TOGoS's Journal

Was in Taipei, walking up and down some hills, admiring the tops of clouds.
Walked down into a subway station.
The trains were suspended from the ceiling and traversed tunnels that
(other than the tracks on the ceiling) could be used by people.
They were lit up and had steps and were about person-sized.
Must be very small, agile trains.
People came running down the tunnel towards me.  It was flooding.
So I ran past an intersection to try to get out and out of the way.
But there were people running from that way, too.  The only way
left was clogged with a crowd.  All I could do was get in line
and hope whoever was holding it up got out of the way.

I was standing on a platform atop a very wide waterfall.
It was very foamy and there was a large volume of foamy stuff periodically
spewing out over the edge from a nearby machine.  There was foam and crashing
ice chunks everywhere.  It was sort of a little bit menacing.

I wandered off onto a trail and found some girl building some kind of
suicide device next to a creek.
She said something to the effect of she didn't want to live in this
mean, screwed up world anymore.  I said that without her it would be
even meaner and more screwed up.
I noticed that she had an odd number of top teeth, so that there was a single one
in the center of her mouth.  Despite the teeth thing she was pretty cute.

I attempted to retrieve the device she had built (it was a wooden box)
from next to the creek, but there was a scary witch cat demon face
trap on the other side that was snarling and trying to bite me and
appeared to have razor blades for teeth, so I decided to leave it.



Giant Troglodytes would try to kill us when we walked outside.
It made getting around very difficult.
There were actually 2 varieties.  The normal ones ranged in size
from just a bit bigger than regular people to maybe 2 or 3 times the height.  They were furry.
The really giant ones were to us like we are to ants, and were smooth and relatively featureless
(unrealistically huge things being eerily featureless seems
to be a theme in my dreams.  e.g. the Doom monsters that were
10x the height of Cyberdemons being big blobby things).
Machine guns were pretty ineffective on either, as I found out
when one of the more nearly human-sized ones chased me through
a large hallway.
Grenades were somewhat more effective agains them.
But we were running out of grenades.
The giant ones would sometimes pick several people up and most
of them would get squished, but a few might escape between its fingers
or behind its ear.
As long as you stayed inside buildings they would not notice you.
