    Continued from my first post...

    Apon selecting "Level 3" from the evolution VGUI menu, I was greeted with the interior of an egg shell. I guess this is what the view of a fetus is. I can hear an odd noise that sounds like the grenade launcher from tribes. Ten seconds later, I erupt from my egg soping wet.

    I cycle through my attacks to see the tooltip on all of them.

    [1] Bite
    [2] Spike Gun
    [3] Spore CLoud
    [4] Bile Bomb

    About now, I realize that I have very few upgrrades. There has to be some movement chambers and the like up somwhere. I see a hivesigt indicator representing a hive, and an alien player near it. I assume it is a level 2 so I start moving that way.

    It takes me about 3 seconds to rememeber that I am a moron. Tapping my spacebar, I take an elagant flap and rise into the air, slowly coasting back to the ground. I fly higher and higher, testing out my own flying skills. Playing a level 3 reminds me of playing Tribes 2. I was good with a shrike, and this guy controls similarly.

    That was the last thought I had. I was completely torn out of the sky by a turret. It appears that the reception door was welded open...

    It didn't matter. I had tasted level 3, I would be back soon...

    Well I took psychology and a dream is nothing more than recycled thoughts and images from the previous day(s).  So.. you could have been playing dust that day and perhaps been looking at some porn.  The mother and father being there could be due to a fight or some sort of conflict you may have had in recent days.  Just remember, dreams never tell you anything that you don't already know.  Your brain is either simply taking all of the relevent and irrelevent information and reorganizing it and flushing the irrelevent memories or you are listening to something while being asleep and you still "hear" it and it gets mixed in.  You might have been watching tv and fallen asleep and someone on tv said the name Louise.  For example, once I had a dream that the cast of Scooby Doo chased me around the campus of Winston-Salem State University.  Know why I had that dream?  Because the next day I was supposed to go to W-S State to see my friend's dance recital and I had been thinking about it that previous day, and when I woke up Scooby Doo was on tv, hence why the Scooby Doo images were mixed in with my the rest of my memories.  And you think <i>you</i> people have no lives?!?  Look at me, I'm analyzing a dream about a Counter-Strike map for Christ sake!!

    BTW.. if you wanna know some really weird dreams, keep a dream journal.  Just keep a small pad of paper and a pen next to your bed and write down whatever you remember from a dream AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP.  Then later in the day look at again, and I swear you'll think your crazy.  I had one for 2 weeks..... ugh.. it was some crazy ####.

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuudee... I used to have this one nightmare every night for like 3 years when I was little.  I was in my house and there were no lights on, and it was at night but it was still somehow bright enough to make out detail and see my way around.  And I felt like I was alone, but then I would feel like a dark presense near me and I'd start to run.  One time I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror and there was someone evil looking behind me and I turned around and they were gone and I looked back in the mirror and they were about to kill me so I ran away again.  Then one time I ran to the garage and got in my dad's car and shut the door, then like the car morphed into the evil man and he had his arms around me.  What he really wanted me to do was look in his eyes, and I would, I don't know how he made me, but I would.  The second I looked in his eyes, I screamed a woke up.  Another time he was disguised or whatever as my dad and I thought I'd be safe with him, but he grabbed me and again got me to look in his eyes.  It was the scariest thing in the world.  But one time, I was like in a playpen like for babies, and he was disguised like a bunny, and I told him that he didn't exist and that it was just a dream.  Then he exploded, and I never had the dream again.  Creepy eh?

    Another dream I had, I was being chased by hillbillies right?  And I heard this like banjo "chase" music playing.  And it was weird I would hear the music go off and they would stop chasing me, and it would come back on again and they started chasing me again.  Well... I ran, really fast, and I got to this field.  When I got there though I realized it was a dream and it wasn't real.  So I stood in the middle of this film yelling and screaming at myself to wake up.  And I did.  It was kinda freaky.

    This next one isn't a dream but an experience, and I know that NO ONE will believe me, but I swear to God that it happened.  Ok I was in my bed, and I wear glasses so I can't see a lot of detail at night when I take them off.  So one night I was in bed, I had my glasses off, and I saw a light shine through each slit in the blinds (like window blinds facing down).  And then I saw a grey figure stand in the corner.  I swear I am NOT making this up.  It was really blurry without my glasses so I couldn't see any distinct details and I was scared shitless so that kinda contributed too.  It just stood there.  I hid under my blanket and cried, quietly enough that it couldn't hear though.  Then I don't remember anything.  It's just blank, I don't even remember the rest of that week or anything.  It was like the creepiest thing that ever happened.  I know it wasn't a dream though because I had just gone to bed, and I don't fall asleep that quick.  Also, if it had been a dream I would remember things through an omniscent point of view, but I remember everything as through my eyes.  And I know your thinking "Damn this guy is fulla ####!" but I'm not.

    I've had a lot of just normal dreams sorta.  Like I had this one where I woke up in bed next to my at the time girlfriend and I got up, and she got up.  Then she went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth naked.  That's about all I remember from that.

    I wish I still had my dream journal, there were a lot of weird ones in there.  I know I had one where me and Johnny Bravo were on the Halo killing a lot of aliens.  If I think of any others I'll post them for your amusement.

    That could have been sleep paralysis.  This is when you awaken or are just falling asleep and suddenly find that you have trouble moving, this happens to a lot of people who sleep on their backs, and some people hear and see things during it, many people report seeing flashes of light, hearing sounds, seeing things, and have a horrible feeling of dread during it like there is a really evil presence around.  Or maybe it was ET, who knows.

    Translation:

    I was walking down a hall and suddenly, a Level 1 is in my face. Fortunately, he lags, so I take him down before he has a chance to hurt me. Then I see what the little bugger was protecting: a resource node and a builder. So I bust out my fully-automatic Heavy Machinegun and [somehow, strangely enough] own them both. After this I turn around, only to see two Level 1's and a bloody Level 3! After [somehow, once again] taking down the Level 3, I manage to hurt one of the Level 1's quite a bit, but to no avail. I soon am clawed to death....

    ...Only to wake up and find myself in a ghost base. I soon realize I'll have to defend my base, for death or glory. Like in one of those movie things where the guys make a "last stand" to the bitter end. I see aliens coming. I turn and start firing. About three Level 1's, two Level 3's, and a Level 4 managed to kill off half the team before they were finally felled by 2 other guys and me. After a while, their onslaught stops, so we take the opportunity to run like madmen to defend our resource node... when we all get there, we set up three turrets before the aliens attack.

    Sadly, those fell after taking four aliens down but there
    s no stopping their onslaught this time. A teammate near me lies dead, clenching a grenade launcher. Figuring he won't be needing it, I quickly take it up from him, his hand in a death grip on it. Without thinking, I just fire randomly. Just holding the trigger, screaming. Its clip is soon emptied, and I toss it away. I then pull out my machinegun and start blazing, using everything I had left until I was down to my pistol with 5 shots. A Level 1 at 3% health approaches. The marine base lay in ruins, its once-great buildings now little more than smouldering barrels of ash and death. The Level 1 and I stare at each other for a moment, our eyes filled with bloodlust, not knowing who would strike first. I'm at 15% health... he's at 3%. I held up my pistol and quickly pulled the trigger, the chamber singing its melancholy tune of flames. I tried hard; I had to hit him. 3 rounds were fired from my sidearm, but he was too fast for me. He leapt toward my face.

    In a strike of blinding luck, it happened to be the same one from earlier; the one that had lagged. So now his curse returns to save my arse! With my last 2 shots I do him in, in a cool matrix-style freezing effect. He sat in mid-air, twitching from the lag and death. I sighed. The battle was over, for now. But I had work to do. I ran over and took the commander's post and build a resource node with the resource points we had left. I then ran to it and set it up. I get the respawn points set up up for my team, and we slowly make our come back. Apparently, the aliens' resources had been exhausted from their last rush. They pulled back and started to rebuild. This gave us time to set back up, ready to fight again....
