You know how I said that my subconscious scares me sometimes? Well, it happened again. I had another crazy dream. It started out like any of my normal dreams would.
I was at an arcade with a good buddy of mine. It was like a Grand Slam/type funcenter with skee ball, those ticket style games, and regular arcade machines. I found this one machine that seemed very familiar. For some reason, this was an arcade machine that I had once owned, and my name was still on it in very faint print.
Apparently, I had to sell the machine to make enough money to get by. I found that whoever owned the machine after me had made a very odd upgrade to it. There was green lever that flashed a function on the machine, and these functions were meant for victory celebrations. Anyway, this machine had about 20 games on it; among them were Pac-Man and SMB Versus. I started playing Pac-Man and after a little while, I decided to pull the lever for a victory celebration. Suddenly, fireworks began going off from the top of the machine.
So, after being initially startled, I found myself congratulating whoever thought up this mechanism. But I pulled it later, when the lever said "Smoke", expecting smoke to fly out of the machine. Instead, I suddenly found, of all things, a cigarette in my mouth. So I immediately spit that out, and cursed the "genius" who thought this up. I found my buddy and told him about it. And my words after that were,
"Someone really screwed up my machine!" I went to play some skee ball after that, and then I woke up.
(Oh, and pt_peach, this dream was in no way induced by Mountain Dew.)
