Interesting about the fake gun. I remember I had a dream once where my grandmother had a stache of guns in case of emergencies. And when we found ourselves on an island with dinosaurs that seemed to qualify, but all the guns just shot nerf bullets. Twas weird.
Okay, so I had a dream last night that I was trying to invade some complex or other (I think by the name of Williams). At first it was in third person and I think I was trying to attract attention by teleporting us up the line. I don't remember quite where that went, but next I remember was just outside the actual complex. I was waiting for a break in the incoming members so I could sneak to the side and get in through a window, but someone actually came from the other direction and I had to hide. However there was no where to hide and I ended up trying out an 'ignore me' spell and lay down in the grass next to a hedge. (tiny hedge, no way you could hide in or behind it) The other fifteen or so people ALSO trying to sneak in did a much worse job than I did but the passerby didn't notice any of us. That didn't say much for my spell, but the other 15 not noticing me did. One of them even lay on top of me.
So of course I realized I didn't need to bother waiting for a break in onlookers and just walked over, somehow acquiring a partner on the way. Inside were a whole lot more people looking for an actual way in. After a bit of exploring my partner suggested we go up, so I teleported him up a floor and then proceeded to use my newfound gravity powers to walk up a nearby wall. When I got to where I wanted, I looked at my target and changed gravity in that direction and jumped! Let me tell you, gravity flying is kind of difficult. From what I figured out in the dream, I have to be able to focus on a target in order to accelerate that way which is difficult with the sky in the dark. Also you can't anti-accelerate or decelerate. This means I'd often find myself shooting past my targets, or sometimes even into them. But regardless...
Skipping past the mishaps and dead ends, I found myself in a room with a spiraling (square spiral) staircase suspended in midair. It started shaking so I instantly threw up the 'ignore me' spell and threw myself into a corner against a wall. A woman in a catsuit landed in the middle of the room and shouted, "Don't Move!" and proceeded to throw ninja stars into the wall I was leaning against. I threw up a shield (another spontaneously acquired power) and closed my eyes hoping she wouldn't notice me or hit me by accident. I felt a few collide with the edges of my shield and slide sideways, but I'm not sure a direct impact would have held. When she stopped I opened my eyes and she looked at me and said, "He moved," and then walked out the door we came in.
When I looked over at my partner, he was quite definitely dead. I'd be sadder if I knew who he was :/. Anyway, apparently she overkilled him and the extra damage had to go somewhere cause when I looked down I saw a GBA with a picture of a unicorn on it and a rainbow health bar that was slowly decreasing. I tried to give myself the power to heal by turning MYSELF into a unicorn (digital so I could 'heal' the machine) but it didn't work and neither did my attempt to outright heal the unicorn. I was then struck with the brilliant idea of savepoints so I turned off the machine and tried to turn it on again, but it required the unicorn's cellphone to input a password. I abruptly remembered (don't ask me how, dream logic doesn't really make much sense) him leaving his bag and a cellphone behind a bush outside so I left and flew out on my way, having to dodge an inordinate amount of telephone wires. I managed to find the bag and phone by comparing their location to my car, but it was getting dark so not only did I have trouble finding the complex again, I had trouble actually flying. The dream left off with me asking various people for directions on how to find the complex again.
