I had a very strange dream last night. For some reason, some of my friends and I were out walking late at night and we were ambushed by a gang toting machine guns. We immediately sprung into action and a few of us managed to wrest the guns away from the gang and open fire. While this was happening, I sprinted over to one side to grab a gun that was lying on the pavement. Unfortunately, someone intercepted me and stabbed me three times in the abdomen.

[I remember thinking at the time that it didn't seem to hurt that much although I did get a bit dizzy]

Anyway, after that I picked up the gun and speedily dispatched my assailant. When I turned around, I saw one of my friends diving John Woo-style sideways firing a pistol at the gang members, with lots of clouds of blood flying around. After that the gang members' bodies mysteriously disappeared and it started raining so we had to wait under a bus shelter before the ambulance came. At that point there was a discontinuity in the dream and I recall the ambulance beeping its horn - since I figured that I'd probably be waiting around in the hospital a lot, I picked up my copy of How the Mind Works to read along the way.

The rest of the dream was pretty boring. I can only attribute this strange dream to having watched snippets of the Negotiator, Austin Powers 2 and a trailer for the upcoming PC game Max Payne before I went to bed.
