I had a pretty awesome/scary dream last night, and I wanted to write something based off of it, but I was a little iffy because whenever I've tried to write based off of dreams before the plots turn out poorly paced and it's just a disaster. But I'm going to run the dream by you guys to see if you think it would make a good story.
-----
The city council is remodeling a local shopping mall. It's a big shopping mall, and so they still let people go to the other parts of the mall while they remodel a certain wing of it. Then there are these crazy activists; they don't like the remodeling, and they're protesting it along with a whole ton of freaks who walk around performing rituals and drinking goat blood out of champagne glasses (in one ritual, they said "now that the hermit, the slave, and the queen are all aligned, our powers are strengthened, and three other people were licking at the blood in the glasses). They all just lounge around just outside the closed off area, and the two main activists, who are boyfriend and girlfriend, managed to get themselves inside the construction area.
Now, the construction workers had a lot of trouble keeping the vampire people and the activists out of the way, so eventually they put up more barriers and the people let off.
When the construction was over, a few friends (which was me and two people I don't know in the dream) come over to see what all happened, and the vampire people are pretty much drooling and sneaking around like burglars. The two activists are yelling at them, and then one of the "vampire" chicks asks her what she thinks they are, and when the activist lady answers humans, the vampire chick laughs and asks her how she thought they kept them out, and then they see an overturned basin of holy water and some broken cloves of garlic. The activist lady starts wigging out and sweating and whimpering and starts banging barriers (like those orange striped mules that they use in traffic) and the activist dude runs off. The three friends run off because all the vampire people pretty much start leaping after everybody.
------
The last thing in the dream was me running like a gazelle (I was springing up into the air but then I freaked out and fell because I was jumping in slow motion but the vampires were running in regular motion), but that wouldn't be in the story. That's just dream shiz.
It was pretty damn freaky in the dream. When the vampire chick asked how the activist thought they kept them out, she went into this monologue about how she sunk her teeth into all of their necks, and the activist lady's break down was pretty dramatic. I woke up all sweaty at two in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep.
The summary sounds corny, but I think if I took my time I could pull it off.
