It starts out like I’m watching a movie preview, except there’s no me sitting in the theater, I’m just seeing the preview in my head, if that makes any sense. Anyway, the plot of this movie is that there’s this huge castle with a bunch of rooms, and it’s like the devil’s castle, or something, because it’s extremely violent and there are traps and such. The castle isn’t black, or red, like you’d think the devil’s castle would be, instead it’s an off-white, sort of bone colored. And the sky around the castle is varying shades of reds, with dark purple clouds.
So anyway, then there’s this red-haired little girl, probably around eight years old, and she being held hostage by this group of men, what I gathered to be the devil’s legion. They enter this room, and the girl is screaming and yelling and trying to break free of her captors. The room is huge…it’s very narrow, maybe 6 or 7 feet wide. But it’s probably close to forty or fifty stories tall. Then there’s a shot of a lion’s head carved into the wall of the room (remember, I’m watching this like a movie preview), and it shatters, and sand starts pouring out of the wall. Apparently, more of these carvings shatter, and the entire room begins to fill with sand very rapidly. The demon legion, and the man holding the red-haired girl, ride this wave of sand to the top of the room, where there’s this stone floor with a bunch of designs, and it’s almost like a planetarium, because it’s very dark with lots of stars and white streaks, but only above the stone floor. The man holding the red-haired girl sits the girl down, and she doesn’t move for some reason, I guess she was in shock. Then the man creates this fireball in his hands, and shoots it across the room into the planetarium, and it reflects off the wall and bounces back straight at the girl, who is still just standing on the sand.
At about this time, I remember thinking “Shouldn’t the movie preview be over by now?” And then suddenly I realized “Hey, I must be watching the actual movie!” This is extremely weird, because it completely disrupts the fluidness of whatever concept I’m dreaming about.
Anyway, the focus of the dream shifts away from the demon legion to a platform, in what seems to be outer space. There is a single man on the platform, and I immediately gather that this is the devil himself. He’s very devil-looking. He had black hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and he was wearing all black. If he had had age, he looked as if he probably would’ve been around 30ish. He starts talking, and I think he’s talking to some sort of heavenly power. It wasn’t God, I’m positive of that, but he’s definitely talking to some sort of angel. Anyway, I can’t remember exactly of what the devil said, but I know it was in reference to the red-haired girl, and I remember a reference to “you know love when you see it,” which I think was in reference to the relationship between the red-haired girl and whoever the devil was talking to. I think there was a deal that the angel had to go into the castle to rescue the girl, but I’m not sure.
Then the focus shifts again, and there are three people standing in a very narrow hallway back in the devil’s castle. One is a man, wearing black and red, and sitting on (of all things) a bicycle. He has a black racing helmet on that has flames running across it, but he takes it off. He looks a lot like the devil, but he was definitely different, and I assumed the bicyclist was the devil’s right-hand man. The cyclist has an incessant grin on his face. The other two people were both dressed in white. One male, one female. I gathered the male was who the devil was talking to earlier. He also had black hair, dark eyes, and fair skin. He was either very tall, or the woman was very short. I can’t remember what exactly what the man was wearing, but I remember it was white. The woman, also, had black hair, and it was very long and reached her waist. She was wearing a white gown, almost like she’d just gotten out of bed. I never figured out what the woman was doing in the place, only that she was following the man in white.
So the cyclist and the man had a conversation, none of which I can remember, but I do know that the woman never talked, and just stared at the cyclist. The entire time, the cyclist was sitting hunched forward on his bike. At the end of the conversation, the cyclist pointed the man to a room down the hallway, and mentioned to “look for the beast.” The man in white thanked the cyclist, and he motioned for the woman to follow him into the room. The room was square, and there were hundreds of little gold figurines attached to the walls. The man walked around and touched a few of them, the woman just silently following behind him.
Then the focus shifted back outside to the cyclist. Still smiling, he waved his hand, and a bunch of sand flowed down from the archway of the door to the room the man and woman were in. The sand completely filled the entranceway, and then hardened and then it looked as if there had been no doorway there to begin with. The cyclist said “Let the games begin.” and then disappeared.
The focus shifted back into the room, where the man examined the blocked doorway to find that they couldn’t get out. He turned to the woman and said “He said to look for the beast.” Both then began searching the figurines for some sort of beast carving…
…and that’s when I woke up.
