. taking the bus .

This is the first Dream I've had where I am switching between two personas at a time. I am either a hot-headed man with a foul mouth or a soft-spoken, timid young girl with special goggles on my head. These personas of mine have no names so for the sake of less confusion I'll name them. The man is Wild Dog and the girl is Lily. Wild Dog is a young man, who looks about his late twenties, short, light brown hair and has an anger management problem. He is wearing an orange inmate jumpsuit where his top is zipped open and hanging from the belt showing his white vest. Lily is tall, pale with long black hair and a straight-cut fringe. She's wearing a large jumper with over-sized sleeves and always has a blur, stoic face on.

The story goes: Wild Dog and his mate, Melchett, are inmates from a prison. So is Lily, who surprisingly is their accomplice. They hi-jack a public bus with its passengers still on it and are trying to get away from the police who are chasing after them on the highway. Lily sits calmly in the front seat while Wild Dog hangs from the open doors, swinging from the rail and shooting at the police cars that get close enough. Melchett, who is not as wild or irrational as his friend Wild Dog, drives the bus. “Get in here! You're gonna getcha'self killed!!” Melchett shouts from the wheel.

Wild Dog shouts back, “JUST TRY N GET US COPPERS!! - I've run outta ammo!! Asshole! You didn't get enuf ammo??!!” he throws the shotgun on the floor. Lily obediently hands him a loaded gun, “Thankya sweets!” Wild Dog grins his iron teeth and goes back to his shooting spree. There was a lot more dialogue than this but in between I was shifting from Lily and Wild Dog for some odd reason. There were times I was having a blast, shooting and swearing profanities at the police and Melchett, just to annoy him. There were times where I was sitting down quietly, doing nothing and sometimes looking at the horrified passengers.

The bus ends up away from a highway and near a forest area, and some development sites. We were far away from the cops but the passengers were still with us. We didn't know what to do with them. All a sudden, Melchett's turning the bus around in a full circle and then stops. I am Lily right now and Melchett asks me to go outside and find anything metal or gold in the dirt area we're in. He asks Lily to do that because I've got special goggles which has many shades which can detect silver, copper of gold material. Fair enough, I went outside and to my surprise there was a gold pendant with a thick, heavy chain lying in the dust. Picked it up, got back on the bus and we drove away.

This trio looked like a good base to start a comic on. Though there wasn't much I could grab from the Dream itself except a bit of their looks, but Wild Dog could be the muscle of the team, with his street smarts and know-how of weaponry; Melchett is the brain, the rational, scheming comrade whose specialty is technology; and Lily, the almost innocent one of the group, whose skills on stealth and keeping it low makes her almost invisible, making her specialty grand theft.
