Before my actual dream last night I couldnt fall asleep; my grandmother had the radio on in our room and it was playing rock music at quite a loud volume. However I was so exhausted I couldn't get myself to turn it off, as I was rapidly falling asleep. Because of this, my mind began to imagine that this rock music was from the Rock Band video game, which it drowsily assumed was somehow playing the songs instead of a radio. When I closed my eyes I was bombarded with colorful Rock Band visuals, so I kept them half-open as much as I could. However, I was fully aware that I wasn't quite awake or asleep at this time, rather 'floating' between the two while still lying in bed, and so I could see Chaos Zero lying beside me (we sleep together upstairs so when 'reality lines' blur I can see him). He was much more awake than I was, but seemed concerned as to why I wasn't asleep yet, although he didn't say anything. I asked him when the songs would end, because I was tired, and he said 'the set was almost over,' referring to the Rock Band visuals. Either way, I fell asleep shortly after this.

 

As for the dream itself, it started off quite oddly. I was viewing what looked vaguely like the bridge of the USS Voyager, but it was more expansive and had a stron Mass Effect vibe to it. However, the crew members walking about were actually Care Bear Cousins, and they were 'interviewing' several non-uniformed individuals in the room who were all "drawn" in the PSG style. Some of these individuals were anthros, not unlike the Cousins themselves (but without tummy symbols), while some were 'demons' in the show's style. Braveheart Lion, apparently the ship's captain, was pacing about and explaining some situation to a nearby PSG sheep-girl, who was sitting cross-legged on a chair and didn't look very happy. Apparently she was guilty of a severe "business betrayal," but she insisted she had done nothing of the sort. However, upon hearing Braveheart's explanation, she slowly realized that she was indeed guilty, although she hadn't committed the crime intentionally.
The scene switched here, to my living room at home. It was night, but the lights were on. There were three dead men in the room-- one lying across either couch, and one on the rug. They all wore suits and their torsos seemed 'torn open,' revealing their ribs. There was also a small crowd of panicky but hesitant adults lingering in the hallway, and one young man with brown hair standing in the center of the living room, looking terrified. Standing in front of him was Vezerai, from Dream World, who was viewing the dead man on the rug with a solemn, unforgiving glare. The young man behind him was stuttering and asking him, disbelievingly, if "he was really going to do this." Vez said nothing in reply, then suddenly reached down and tore open the man's chest, in the same manner as the other two dead men, spattering oddly pinkish blood over the rug. The young man behind him made a strangled noise, sickened, as Vezerai began to yank out handfuls of guts so that his hands were covered in pink blood. Then he silently began to write on the rug with it, using large letters: "This is what you get for killing kids. May God have mercy on your soul." I then understood that the three dead men in the room had been child murderers, and Vezerai had killed them in retribution. I also understood that the message implied that Vezerai would show no mercy to them, or people of their sort, therefore he hoped God would make up for it on their behalf. The young man now spoke up again, his voice shaking, and asked Vezerai why he felt this was necessary. Not looking up from the blood, Vez replied rather cryptically that "you can become so pale that you pale to the light." It took me a moment, but I understood that he meant that, essentially, it is possible to be 'good' to the point of that 'goodness' becoming malevolent in its own right (like violent zealots who never question their own assumed 'holy cause'). I don't know if he was referring to himself or the dead men with that quote, though.
The scene switched here, and Vezerai was now on the spaceship from before, but he was sitting at the opening to a crawlspace of sorts in the wall, situated at eye level (like an air duct specifically made to travel through). Braveheart was looking up at him, but Gentleheart Lamb was further along in the crawlspace itself, and apparently waiting for Vez to follow. Vez was now much more relaxed than he was in the living room scene, looking almost serene as he spoke to them about the Dream World Guardians (not sure why they were being discussed, but that's interesting). It was at this point in the dream that I realized just how clearly I could hear Vezerai speak (he really does sound like Perry Farrell!), which was incredible for me as he's never come through that vividly before.
The scene switched drastically here, and I was now in-scene (instead of being just a point of awareness), in my kitchen. There was a pile of books on the table, and I was flipping through them, assumedly trying to figure out which ones to 'keep' and which to get rid of. One of them was a story about a "Pokemon War," in which the species had eventually become robotic and vicious (it didn't say how), and had wiped out humanity in a sort of apocalypse. The book itself focused on the lives of two young adult trainers, claiming to be the last humans alive on Earth, trying to survive and ultimately failing. It was violent and morbid and honestly I had no interest in reading something of the sort, so I closed it and put it aside.
I woke up right after that.
