Babies, Guns, and Movies

I had a very odd one tonight. I was visiting my sister, but she wasn't living in Kentucky like she does now, she was living in some foreign country. At least I think it was a foreign country. Perhaps she was just perceived as a foreigner within the United States. Anyway, she and her baby were living in a small apartment. The doorknob was missing to her door, there was just a hole. Although I remember locking the door using the doorknob, so that was a little odd. Regardless, I walked by her place looking for her...taking a glance in the windows as I passed. Well, she wasn't home so I continued on my way. At the end of the street I turned around and saw her coming up the street carrying her new baby. Her husband was interestingly absent from this dream. The perception was that she was a single parent. When she approaches me she is rather stressed out about something. Apparently the police have been monitoring her place looking for her. By monitoring, I believe it was stopping by on occasion to see if she was there. She was unhappy with me stopping and looking in the windows, fearing that perhaps some authority saw me. This was apparently related to the fact that she resembled some foreign ethnicity. We had to be very cautious in moving around, and at one point we skipped going back to her apartment because it appeared some policeman was nearby.

I'm not sure if the next part of my dream was related in any way to the first. Something was going down at the lake. I'm not sure exactly what it was, maybe someone was kidnapped and myself and my partner (I think I was a policeman or something in this one) needed to find her. We were in the car with the villain as I recall and they needed directions. Well, we decided to direct them towards the lake so we could perform a rescue. Unfortunately, when we had them head in that direction, it was immediately obvious to them that we were trying to deceive them. So now we were captives. Oddly enough, my partner (or me, we tended to switch roles throughout the dream) was given a machine gun. At one point during the walk through the woods to the lake, the guy without the machine gun (I was the guy with the machine gun at this point) decides to attack the villains. When it is obvious he is going to lose, I hit him on the head with the butt of my machine gun. Somehow the way I hit him was perfect to knock him out for a very short period of time. So I explained to the villains that he was out and wouldn't bother us again, knowing that he would wake up soon and be able to help. So we continued on. On the beach of the lake, we had an encounter. I don't remember all the details, but a firefight ensued. Things were going okay, but not all that great, when my partner awoke and had in his possession a sniper rifle. He was firing sleeping darts with it, and hit the villains multiple times, putting them to sleep. That was pretty much all I remember about the dream.

Finally, I had an odd dream about making a movie with my brother in law Erich. It was sort of a Star Wars satire, as I recall, but very poorly done. I believe we had in the final version parts that had other actors correcting the performance of the main actor. It was just a disaster of a film, but we seemed to enjoy making it and were contemplating creating an outtake reel, when I mentioned that really we didn't have any outtakes, because we used the outtakes in the movie. I remember a scene with Darth Vader, and I remember playing Winnie the Pooh saying hello to a bunch of little kids at a birthday party. Oh, and there was some scene where I was dressed up as a monkey and I basically just announced to the audience that I'm a monkey and made some weird noises. Clearly an oscar worthy film.
