An unexpected pregnancy and a mark of doom

I was hanging out with Andrew M, and he was recounting to me how he had just found out he had gotten pregnant (... somehow) from a woman he made love to in his living room. Which was all well and good, but then it turns out he also got in the way between two old women who were trying to shoot each other with pistols (which didn't exactly shoot bullets, but gave the target only a short time -- perhaps days -- to live). They were running around the back yard of a suburban single family home, sniping from behind corners and such. Anyway, Andrew got hit by one of them.

So I was hanging out with him at a restaurant, and we were talking about that stuff. We were hovering around near some tables in a covered outdoor seating area. A group of girls was getting up to leave and we went to sit at that table, but then one of them looked like she was trying to figure something out. She looked down at a piece of paper (folded together into half of a polyhedron shape), and one facet of the shape had "Reserved" written on it. In fact, one such paper polyhedron was sitting on each table, with things written on each side. Unfortunately for us, it turned out that since the paper was sitting such that the "Reserved" side was perpendicular to the table, it meant that someone else had reserved the table.

But then, I think we already had the table next to it, and it wasn't reserved. Weren't we just sitting there? Oh well, now I'm confused.

Dexterously defeating the demon dame

Earth was being attacked by some other planet, but more specifically, I was about to be attacked by a demon woman. I was up in kind of a loft room at the top of a ladder (plain room, with drywall and not much in the way of furnishings). The demon woman was a normal humanoid shape, but covered completely with grease paint, and had a row of horns resembling the crown of the Statue of Liberty, but sticking straight up out of her head. She was climbing up the ladder into the room.

We then set about fighting. Apparently I had the upper hand, and as she got weaker, she became more obviously naked and started changing colors. I had some kind of stick and prodded once or twice at her naked (bluish) body, which displeased her. Eventually, with no power left, she ended up looking human, with long golden blond hair. I held her to the ground, face down, and used a knife to cut a two inch wide lock of her hair. I used the lock of hair to tie back the rest of her hair in a ponytail. Then I woke up.

Submarine invaded by the Joker's sea-crew

In a bit of a face-off between two sea-crews. Possibly there were two submarines, one which belonged to me, and another that belonged to "the bad guys". "The bad guys" managed to board our vessel, and we were strategically moving around, trying not to get shot by them. Among "the bad guys" were the Joker (from Batman), and his boss (can't recall his identity; some regular human looking jerk). Everyone was running around, up and down stairs, around corners (this was rather wide-open architecture, as submarines go; not very subby at all, really, actually, also quite well lit). By chance, I ran into the Joker, primed my shotgun, and knocked him off. Fortuitously, his boss came up right behind him and I shot him down too. I called out to the rest of the invading crew and told them that there was no reason I should have to shoot anyone else. They became docile.

Star Wars tower battle — then, composing the battle music

In the Star Wars universe, we are in some sort of final battle sequence. (It's unclear whether this is an immersive video game or possibly a movie shoot.) The battle is on foot, in the area in and surrounding this gigantic castle-like tower, whose depth stretches down for what looks like hundreds or thousands of feet. At first, most of the fighting takes place on the "ground" level, which must be little more than a platform in the open air for all that depth below it. I'm taking down storm troopers left and right with my blaster, actually banking my beam off walls to hit them.

At one point, a guy rolls by in a souped-up motor scooter; apparently he was a minor cast member from the X-wing fighters that destroyed the first Death Star. This reminded me that this might be a movie shoot.

The battle starts to escalate. People begin entering the tower, or falling below the platform and using long grappling hooks to hang on or get inside. The only structural detail I see inside the tower is a very spacious stairwell that begins at the outside edge near the bottom of the tower and spirals slowly up for an unknown distance. (Even at the bottom of the tower, the ground below is still not visible.)

Somewhere on the outside of all this, I and a band are jamming/composing music to go with this final fight scene. Unfortunately I can't recall a single note of it. Seems like I swapped instruments with the "new guy" just as we got to the solo or bridge. Can't even remember who was playing what instrument though.
