Dream that I have to remember...
Floating blobs- red and gray ones, like in a video game. Drop the gray ones on enemies and it ASPLODES. Then there was a story of a girl who met this guy. Then after meeting him she was sent to live as royalty in the castle. Prince like guy was wooing her and she was falling for him, until she sees this guy she met a long time ago. They begin to have a fling and *fall in love* and prince like guy gets wind. Prince like guy is pissed so he sends guards out to go kill the girl. They surround her and some sort of higher being transforms her in to the aforementioned gray blob, then drops on top of the guards and ASPLODES killing them. Then there's a flash over to random guy. He's in some sort of pain, then suddenly poofs in to the a red blob! Their love linked each other and what not... some sort of cheesy moral like that. Will attempt to expand on this idea later.

"The ship was sinking---and sinking fast. The captain told the passengers and crew, 'We've got to get the lifeboats in the water right away.'
But the crew said, 'First we have to end capitalist oppression of the working class. Then we'll take care of the lifeboats.'
Then the women said, 'First we want equal pay for equal work. The lifeboats can wait.'
...
The racial minorities said, 'First we need to end racial discrimination. Then seating in the lifeboats will be allotted fairly.'
The captain said, 'These are all important issues, but they won't matter a damn if we don't survive. We've got to lower the lifeboats right away!'
But the religionists said, 'First we need to bring prayer back into the classroom. This is more important than lifeboats.'
Then the pro-life contingent said, 'First we must outlaw abortion. Fetuses have just as much right to be in those lifeboats as anyone else.'
The right-to-choose contingent said, 'First acknowledge our right to abortion, then we'll help with the lifeboats.'
The socialists said, 'First we must redistribute the wealth. Once that's done everyone will work equally hard at lowering the lifeboats.'
The animal-rights activists said, 'First we must end the use of animals in medical experiments. We can't let this be subordinated to lowering the lifeboats.'
Finally the ship sank, and because none of the lifeboats had been lowered, everyone drowned."
