Dream 2
You try to talk to the conductor though he ignores you completely and steps onto the train, you follow him and as the last of the silhouettes board the train it begins to move, the incline of the track steadily increases until you are traveling directly upwards. Trying to communicate with the others is unsuccessful, they do not react at all to you at all to your questions or attempts at small talk and so you sit down and gaze out the window at the polkadot coloured land-scape.
The train begins to slow and then stops entirely looking at the window this confuses you, there is no platform outside - just air - a man taps you on the shoulder to get your attention and after realising he's the man that conceived you, you smash the window next to you, take a shard from its remains and plunge it into his eye.
He stumbles backwards and from the gouge emerges a hollow tube it expands and after a few seconds you realise it is a snake, you bite it and swallow the entire length of the snake, it soon passes through your body and continues to expand, it squirms out of your trousers, unhinges its jaw and swallows you whole. Inside the snakes mouth seems to be a strange woodland forest which is rapidly growing.
Your not sure from where though you hear somebody shout your name "Ash!" you look for the source of the voice but without success stare down the snake's throat far in the distance, again you hear somebody call "Ash!" you realise the voice is coming from below the floor and so descend down some nearby stairs and find yourself in the kitchen from your old home.
Inside is a squirrel twirling two meat skewers like batons and floating a few feet above the plastic tile floor, he drops to the ground passes the skewers to you and asks you to try, spinning one skewer in each hand you feel yourself float slowly through the ceiling and then through the trees of snakemouth forest and then you float into the air, you drop the skewers and find yourself flying unassisted, as the skewers drop through the air they impale the squirrel however, flying to his assistance you see him breathing heavily on the floor, he says "thank you", then kisses you on the cheek and disappears in a puff of smoke.
The train you were riding on then crashes through the snakes mouth, presumably after having been eaten, the train conductor calmly walks out and followed by the silhouettes announces "We've arrived, it's time to learn how to fly"
