Dream 3
The train conductor gives two meat skewers to each of the silhouettes, their forms seem clearer now though, like actual people, before long they've all realized how to fly and looking around you find your arm has become the barrel of a tank. A group of about 6 of the passengers including you flies towards one of the snakes upper fangs, you aim the barrel at the tip and fire, from it leaves a lung and one of the passengers starts to have trouble breathing, you fire at the tooth again and this time the cannon fires a wrapped up bundle of skin, glancing to your side, you realize that the passenger who had trouble breathing also no longer has any skin and is squirming in agony mid-air, as you get ever closer to the fang you fire once more and fire a brain tumor, the passenger disappears in a poof of smoke*.
Poison begins to drain out of tip which you pull yourself into it, glancing outwards you see the Earth floating through the snakes massive maw, you quickly quickly swim upwards and find yourself on the surface of a vast ocean of acid, you arrive at the shore which is made of smooth bone and staring upwards see the roof of the tooth cavity about a mile away, once again you float upwards towards it and fire a hole through it using the organs of your companions, as you lift up the epidermal cells making up the snakes gums you slowly start to weave through the tissue until you arrive in one of the snakes many nasal glands, inside it are ants the size of a house (relative to you) carrying galaxies of stars from the nose entrance to the brain so they may presumably be smelt, you and your two companions grab a leg on one particular ant and hitch-hike towards the snakes brain.
As you enter the vast cavern you let go of the ant's leg and stare in wonder, as far as the eye can see are hovering purple orbs, connected by long filaments, occasionally one will light up which in turn causes other around it to light of creating an arc of light which travels zipping around forming the most beautiful and comprehensible of patterns, each as complex as the last and providing brilliant illumination, you fly to one and giggle as you touch it which causes it to dimly glow for a second, you pull a picnic blanket out of your arm with the gun barrel and set it up on top of your chosen neuron and begin carving flesh out of it.
You place chucks of it onto plates and begin eating your meal with your two companions who you decide to take more note of. One you clearly recognize as your friend's sister who you remember meeting whilst drunk and the other is the train conductor, you lift his hat which seems to be casting a shadow over his face and discover that he is Adolf Hitler, after this revelation he tries to run away and forgetting he has to fly as he steps of the neuron plummets to the ground, you help yourself to second servings of the brain neuron which is now flashing madly as a reaction.
*Shortly afterwards on Earth Arthur Lent woke in his coffin, he seemed to have partially rotted, was without skin and had some difficulty breathing though was otherwise fine, it seemed that by being ridden of the cause of his death he was once again returned to the land of the living. At that point Arthur all of a sudden realized zombies were in actual fact rather unfortunate creatures.
