dream the magician

09:13 Friday 24 July 2015 JST

Was on the train next to a cute girl with braces, and I started talking to her by saying, "I like your braces." She smiled and we talked a bit and determined we were both going the same directions on the Tokaido Line, though she was going farther than me. We arrived at a station where we needed to change trains, and I went down the left side of the train to get seats for us, but the train doors were closed. I had to go back to the back of the train to get to the other side, but by then all the seats had been taken. I found the girl; she was lying down near the front of the train, but there was no way I could easily sit next to her with all the crowd of peole and boxes. I considerd sitting on top of the train, but knew I'd be easily spotted and didn't imagine I'd be allowed to do that. Then I found an open are near the front of the train, and squeezed myself into it. I heard two women speaking about a date one of their friends had had. One woman asked her friend how his (the mutual friend's) date had gone and she replied that it ws good, though he had lied about something, and she didn't mind. Basically she wanted a chance at him as well. The other said, "okay, I won't tell."

At that point, they saw me behind them, and I was like, "HI. I won't tell," referring to the quote from before, and they laughed and agreed. I could see out the front of the train as we started, and there were some poeple firing laser rifles at the train, and some people on our side shooting some laser rifles back to clear a path for the train. A bicycle had ben destroyed and its metal tubes were causing havoc for the train wheels, but we got past it somehow. As we went up and over the hill it was apparent that we had more momentum than the laser rifle guys could stop so they left us go past, but not before they had put some more bicycles in the path.

I saw two bicyles on either side of a foot path that we were about to use to go up the mountain, so I reached out of the train and grabbed them and tossed them to either side as we rushed through. That saved us from a lot of damage so I was glad to not have to think about what might have happened.

We got to the top of a valley and there was a station at which some people were playing a video game live action to determine the winner as others were making bets on who the winner would be. I had never seen the game before, but it was my turn to play.

I was standing on a thin post and facing an opponent about 20 feet away. We each had a small inventory of weapons and abilities, but I knew none of them, so I just started randomly firing things until I won the level.

I won it quickly, so the AI switched to the boss level next, and I employed the same strategy, and amazingly won the level. The crowd went wild! They started to call me The Magician, because even the seasoned players couldn't win the level so quickly. They asked how I had done it, and I said it was all through intention. "I didn't know what to do so I said a little prayer internally: 'I will win' and then just slapped at the handles randomly until I won."

I was invited by the owner of the inn to come upstairs to her living space, and she showed me some of her family history and how they had come to own the place (basically through longevity).
