Laurie - Akio Won? Well...
This dream is not ecchi in any
way, and given the context, boy, am I glad. I think it came out
of the fiction I'd been reading that day: some Utena-related stuff,
and the latest episode of a story set during World War II. This
episode focussed on a pair of Germans who were working in secret
to get refugees out of the country.
The dream:
The Revolution had actually happened, and occurred
the way Akio wanted it. He was, by the time of the dream, ruler
of almost the entire world. There was still a small resistance movement,
of which Anthy and I were apparent leaders, but it seemed to be
a losing battle. Every day Akio would locate more of our people,
and dispose of them.
Then Anthy and I came "home" to the
hideout of our resistance cell, only to realize that Akio and his
soldiers had captured the place. We saw him, watching his soldiers
round up our friends, and he saw us, and we took off. The rest of
the dream was a chase, much of it cross-country on foot, with him
leisurely tracking us. He knew quite well that we were the last
resistance leaders that were still free, and we knew that once he
caught us, we'd be dead. Time and again we tricked other people
into helping us -- almost everyone was under Akio's control, but
as they didn't know who we were, they thought nothing of helping
us.
I woke up, shaking, before the dream truly resolved;
never know if we fully escaped or if he caught us.
Interestingly, Akio appeared in his "Prince"
guise from the TV show, but Anthy was in her movie incarnation.
They were the only two "Utena" characters present, but
there were other people there who I know from real life. |
