I usually forget to post about my dreams, though usually it's simply because they're not too interesting, but this morning's was odd.

I was playing a video game, and was in it simultaneously. The playing part of this is not important, just a bit of oddness. It (the game) was like Myst, but underwater- I had to swim through tanks and tunnels and complete small quests and figure out puzzles. The tricky part was that I still had to breathe, and would have to come up to the surface for air. I managed to get quite far (though I can't remember anything specific, I know that it was fairly complex for a game my mind would be able to come up with), but at one point I surfaced at the wrong area, and had a time limit to get to where I actually needed to be. So I dived again and headed in the right direction, but I suddenly couldn't see and didn't get enough air the last time. I started floating back up, but couldn't hold my breath any longer, so I tried to suck in as hard as I could

And woke up. I was still holding my breath when I came to, which was weird, cool, and scary all at the same time. I hope this doesn't happen again because I rather like breathing 8)

What's amusing is that ever since Sonic the Hedgehog, I've always hated video games that have that 'Look you're underwater and you still need to breathe' trick. Why can't everyone be like Mario and just be able to do breathe underwater? Why do my dreams have to incorporate strange themes and ideas from video games? At least I wasn't killing my friends-turned-into-zombies with a steel pipe this time.

Reminder: I need to make myself a new Card Fighter icon. If anyone else wants one while I'm thinking of it, let me know.
