I woke up this morning and grabbed my journal before I'd even fully opened my eyes to jot down this particular dream. I must say, out of all of my odd dreams, this one really stands out. I remember as it was going on I realized that I was watching it happen, like I was watching a movie... I'm not actually any of the characters in my dream... So bear in mind this is the unedited version, this is exactly how I wrote it in my journal.
The setting is in a big city and it seems futuristic. The apartment is in this HUGE building on like the 100th floor. The main character looked just like Jennifer Garner (so she will now be referred to as Jennifer to avoid confusion.) She lived in in this apartment all alone until one day she finds an injured and unconscious man and brings him home with her. I'm not sure where he came from but I do know he was hurt in what was simply called "The War". He doesn't come to very often and when he does he doesn't speak, but he has these amazing aquamarine eyes that seem to communicate beyond words. As she cares for him she (thinks) she's falling in love with him. As this is going on a new girl has started at her job (no idea where that is). She's blonde with a French accent. (It's the lady from that "Birdsong" movie with Jack from Pillars of the Earth). *AUTHOR'S NOTE: I Google'd it, her name is Clémence Poésy)
Jennifer (or whatever) starts talking to her about this man and the unexplainable connection and how she's falling for him etc etc. Blonde Girl explains to her that it's because he's from a different reality. He can't speak or truly function because he's trapped in THIS reality. Jennifer (or whatever) becomes determined after that to find a way to be with him. Blonde Girl explains that this version of her has to die in order to cross over into his reality. I think Mysterious Pretty Eyed Guy had actually died at this point because I never saw him again and Jennifer (or whatever) seemed distraught. So in a moment of grief she opens her window and jumps, falling gracefully and in slow motion to the ground where she lands face down, sprawl limbed, in front of her apartment building. Which had a large shiny metal sculpture of some sort out front and huge picture windows in the front. It kinda looked like a bank, honestly.
After a few minutes she gets up and while this world is almost identical, the lighting is different and all the people she sees have the same brilliantly bright eyes as Mysterious Pretty Eyed Guy. I forgot to mention that every time Jennifer (or whatever) uses the elevator to go in and out of her building there's a different old person, in dress black, holding a skeleton key in with her. It doesn't seem out of place at the time, it just seems like they're other people in her building who happen to be in the elevator with her. You know how in movies when they zoom in on an object that the characters don't notice, but the audience is supposed to? Foreshadowing and all that? That's how I noticed the key. Every time she got in the elevator the focus was on the key. So even though this building was huge there are only 20 actual rooms and each one of the elevator people lives in one. As the story keeps going, I noticed that Jennifer (or whatever) is the only young, not dressed in all black, person living there. And she never holds the key.
Okay, so after she wakes up she goes running back into her building, with dirt smudged on her face (though no other visible damage is done, despite plummeting to her death from the top of a skyscraper) and encounters an as yet unseen person in black, an older lady with a French accent. She has dark hair and kinda looks like the lady who play's Regina's mom in Once Upon a Time, Barbara Hershey. She says to Jennifer (or whatever),
"I can't believe you let the (SOME WEIRD FOREIGN WORD THAT I DON'T RECALL EVER HEARING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE) trick you like that." I remember interpreting it as a word that meant some kind of evil spirit or something. Y'know, like how banshees are considered bringers of death.
To which Jennifer (or whatever) replies, "What do you mean?"
"She isn't what she seems, she's the Keeper of Souls. Why do you think there are only 20 rooms and we only have one key? Why are you the only young one and the only one to leave? You've been tricked ma cherie."
Of course, Jennifer (or whatever) is flabbergasted and full of denial and runs (in slow motion) to her apartment door and throws it open.
...and that's it. I woke up. I never saw what she sees.
