Recently I had a dream that actually followed a plotline, which is strange in and of itself.
But what really got me was the fact that it revolved around cards.
In the dream, everyone in the world has a deck of playing cards that is unique to them. They use the cards to make decisions in their life, with each card meaning something different. Now they had to make sure that no one ever saw their cards or they could be controlled by the person who glimpsed them if the design was replicated. Obviously, this is cause for disaster.
A new insurgence company formed, and to seal the contract you had to allow them to photocopy your ace of spades, the ultimate card that controls your thoughts. The company lies low until they have the majority of the population under their thumb. Then they make their move, controlling their victims and eventually forcing the entire population to become their pawns or be killed. It seems that free will had died, except for a small amount of people who are not entirely under the control of their cards, for some reason or another. Now it's me, a few of my friends, and some random people that my mind created who are part of one of the underground resistance fragment, and our mission was to break into the company's main building and destroy all the copies of the cards that they had.
It didn't go too well. Everyone died except me and one other person, and we were then detained and experimented upon to determine how we were immune to the effects of our cards.
Unfortunately, reveille wad piped and I woke up before it could all be resolved.
