Such a weird dream last night.
It started off as the end of some 80s movie. It was set in the hallway of a school or something. The good guy and the bad guy were talking about this girl, and the good guy says she's fun to fool around with but she's not the kind of girl you actually stay with. (I think the context leading up to it made it clear that he was lying, trying to downplay her importance to the bad guy. But the dream started after that bit, so I only had a rough impression.) Naturally, the girl in question walks up behind the good guy just as he's saying it.
Then the bad guy goes off with his girl. And the good guy gets into his car, and sort of lamely taunts him that, sure, he got his girl, but now he's going to get married, settle down, and have kids... it'll be the end of his wild days. And then the good guy's former girlfriend gets into the car with him because he was supposed to drive her and she doesn't have another ride. So it gives him a chance to try to explain to her. But before that happens, he has to back out of the hall (it's a dream; the car is parked in the hallway) and his car is all sci-fi fancy, with all these weird blinking lights that look like they're doing something but make no actual sense. Oh, and it turns out he named the car after the girl.
(Some of this is probably a result of my having recently rewatched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. And if you haven't seen that movie, you really should.)
Suddenly, the dream flashes back to the middle of the movie. The girl is being interviewed by Greta Van Sustren. They're in a secret location. The cameraman keeps waving his camera around so he can show everyone that they're standing... on top of the Titanic! The girl doesn't seem to notice (or maybe she just doesn't care). Then the cameraman vanishes because it makes no sense whatsoever that he's there.
It turns out the good guy created a force field which is holding back the weight of the entire ocean. And the device is also filling that bubble with fresh air. So they can walk around just fine in street clothes. And then some people get shipwrecked or jump off a boat or something and (because suddenly the ocean isn't very deep) fall a few feet down into the bubble and, all uninvited, join the good guys in walking around on top of the Titanic.
And then suddenly we cut to another movie. It's about some guy named Paul Wiener! I had no idea they'd done it. And they got a bunch of stuff wrong. Including, of course, my first name. And also the scene I was watching was one where I was with a bunch of people I don't know (but movie me did know them) and there was a bomb about to hit and I jumped on the bed to grab something that would save someone's life but the bomb came in too fast and I jumped, trying to get ahead of the shockwave and somehow ride it out even though I knew it was too late and the blast blinds me and...
I woke up. And couldn't get back to sleep for over an hour. For no good reason whatsoever.
