1) Driving from point A to point B with Point A being someplace where I found out my car needed repairs and fast, and point B being the place that could fix it for a hefty loot o' cash that I had no idea how I was gonna get. Then, as I'm driving on this little country road, all of a sudden, an enormous flash of bright white light explodes before my eyes. The light is so intense, I actually feel it in real life. It startled me. Then, in the dream, the car has disappeared, and there I sit, unharmed (and in an unrelated thought, unarmed) in the middle of the street. I look down, and there in my hands sits a check made out to me for 15,000 clams. Then I wake up.
2) I am in someone else's house, or some kind of public place, maybe a hotel...yeah, I think it was a hotel. Anyway, people start assaulting the place with guns. A group of 'evil-doers' start shooting up the place in a rampage. I am there. I come to the point in my dream where most people get to and know that if it were real life, they would die, but somehow they either miraculously escape death in some deus ex machina kinda way, or they wake up and are saved by the bell. Well, in my dream I get shot - in the gut. Then I get shot again, in the chest. Then, I'm thinking, OK, I'm gonna survive this somehow, but then immediately the gunman comes to me and shoots me in the head. Then I think, not really recognizing that this is a dream, well, I guess it is time to die, and I just go with it. I remember thinking "Now I get to find out what nobody really knows until it happens to them." As I'm contemplating the surreal experience that I'm going through, I begin to notice my body sliding through some cross between a mud filled slip and slide like the one in Shrek 3, and the chamber that Neo wakes up in after he takes Morpheus' pill to wake up in the 'real' world. Then, somehow, I come back to life in the dream. Unlike Neo, I wake back up in the world I left when I was shot. I marvel at the fact that I survived. Then, I wake up for real.
