The Swamp
04-10-2003
This dream was very dark all throughout and took place in a swamp. Piranhas lurked wherever there was a small pool of water. At the beginning, I had laid out a bunch of special traps covered in blades... if anything swam close to it, the trap shot out and skewered it. In this dream, piranhas were solitary creatures and only attacked one at a time.

I was with someone else this whole time, but didn't really know them... it felt as though we were friends, but didn't really trust each other. We were trying to find or catch something in particular... but what that exactly was is fading from memory.

Toward the end, the piranhas turned into a single piranha threat, which could pull itself around on land. It was dangerous to leave our little island shack. I remember trying to retrieve something from the water with a pole... the piranha trying to attack me. The traps, which had sat out of the water, were suddenly in the water... I knew this wouldn't work and suddenly the piranha attacks became more vicious.

Somewhere in there, Pinky and the Brain were trying to escape the island. They had somehow catapulted themselves over the water [which was only about three or four feet across] to the next bit of land out in the marsh. The Brain was terrified of the piranhas and had gripped onto Pinky's back as they fled.

I was on the other island and running from the piranha, which was behind me... I think it could throw or spit projectiles.... I found Pinky and the Brain both hiding on an old board in the tall grass. They tried to run away until I said, "It's me!"

I picked them up and turned around. The piranha shot me with something through my right leg, just above the knee... it was like a dart and completely impaled my leg. I ran back to the shack and barred the door. The person I was with was watching TV and I explained what had happened before sitting down. The view zoomed suddenly to the door, which was actually just three boards crudely nailed and roped together. There was a large gap between the wall and the first board and, just outside, the piranha pulled itself up and tried to squeeze through the crack... looking more like a nasty fish-doll hybrid. The fact that they could slightly take on the shape or attributes of other things seems familiar... in other words, they could grow legs or fins according to their need.... I also remember one had sticky hands like a frog as it tried to climb up and get Pinky and the Brain before I had arrived... I think I had knocked it off the board... but I'm not sure anymore.

The end.
