Aliens, Barbeques, and Pretzels

As epic as my dreams were last night, they're probably going to end  up sounding like a bunch of mush. I'll do my best.

One, as far as I'm aware, started at a ward picnic, though the grills were operated by computers, so we were a little more sophisticated than we probably should have been. (Are there grills run by computers, or is that a new thing my head has created?) Anyway, a cocky man inspired by Captain America (who isn't cocky at all) was there, and though everyone wanted to be his best friend, he pretty much just hung around me. Not entirely sure why.

While we were eating and people played volleyball and all that, my mom showed up. Don't know why.

Then, to get the dream really going, an alien life form determined to rule earth downloaded itself into our grill computers (I watched, as if in a movie, the computer screen become text instead of whatever pictureish thing had been there before. It looked pretty awesome.) and made a clone of our Captain America guy. I'm going to call him Charlie to make things a little easier, because later he reminded me of Charlie from Lost, only taller. Anyway, we were all rather confused by the clone when it came and sat down next to 101 Dalmations (Don't ask.).

Charlie and his clone started arguing back and forth, and I thought it was a cheap trick and bad acting. That's when the clone and it's alien power bent a part of the roof to harness the energy of the sun and start absorbing it. (And this is where we get Green Lantern mixed with X-Men: First Class.) The only way for Charlie to defeat this alien guy was going to be for him to sacrifice himself by using his shield to absorb whatever energy the alien threw at him. Because, you know, the shield absorbs vibrations and all that. It made sense in my head...

Then my alarm went off, and the dream switched completely.

Charlie decided to steal a few girls' apartment, and he got away with it because they hadn't paid their rent yet. We spent a while redecorating, and then Charlie gave me a ridiculous job to do with my brother. I'm still not sure what I had to do, but I did it, including the awesome parts where I drove his ridiculously nice convertible through a sunny field. That was epic. I somehow left my brother behind, though, and I felt bad, but Charlie (who turned into a very nice girl at some point after I returned) and I had to make pretzels. Just don't tell her I dropped the dough on the floor before she could find me some plastic wrap to put it on.
