running around in a five story japanese styled mansion, with a real (?) sword sheathed at my side, admiring the dark wood floors and the detailed stylings, all the while pursued by a set of other players (?) intent upon killing me... on one floor, "slaying" someone with a set of fans. and an another, the last, stabbing someone through with his own kodachi...
there are flashes of the previous dream, in which my friends and i were wondering through the rain drainage canals, perhaps with a few other people (girls) who were relative strangers. at one point, we saw what looked like water keys duct taped to a rusty support pipe. upon closer examination, they seemed to be skeleton keys. i made a comment about how, on previous trips, i had encountered combination locks with no apparent purpose... there were places where i or my comrades slipped... places with apparent railings, to assist in keeping balance, but the curved submerged floors were so slippery that they took people down anyway... and then we started to notice fish and coral in the waters, and i came to the strange realization that maybe this entire rain drainage system communicated with the sea. and as soon as i thought it, we saw and could feel the thundering of water through old pipes, carrying water in the rhythm of breathing, as though somewhere, waves were pounding, and pushing things through to where we were. and i recall us seeing some of those ocean water pipes, and slipping on one of them...
