Another Dream

Last night I had the most extraordinary dream. Unlike most dreams, I was not a character in it, nor was anybody that I knew. It started with something that reminded me of Finding Nemo, but only a little. A young clown fish was kicked out of his house on his sixteenth birthday as was tradition.

I don't know why it was tradition, or exactly what happened next, but that's the way it went. Anyway, it began moving seamlessly between that story, Death Note and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. In fact, they were all fused into one. The fish who was kicked out played the role of Light (complete with some sort of killing). There was either a jump forward in time or I simply forgot some bits (I think it skipped, it did that in a couple places), but either way he started living together with a character who acted as Misa, but also a character who was something like Misa's older sister (I know, weird.) there were some other characters with them, but I don't remember those.

Either way, I have a distinct memory of Light (they were all human at this point) leaving the building (it wasn't really a house) and thinking something that made it apparent that he was in fact evil. There was some sort of villain, very non-descript. I can't think anything about him except that he was adult, male and not really that bad. Maybe a detective or something. But at one point I saw Light, Misa and (note: this Misa character didn't act or look much like Misa, but she was blonde and that's how I remember her) and the villain standing in a a weird, mirrored revolving door thing. It didn't actually happen and acted only for the narrator to say some bits. It's then that he first mentioned the villain.

I think that there was something about school. Also, I remember seeing a bookshelf with volumes 1-9 (of 10) of this story on it. They looked like thick, leather books, not like manga. Right after that I saw the clown fish talking to a flounder about how hard his life was, having been kicked out of the house. The flounder said that he, too, had been kicked out of the house at sixteen (this was some years in the future from then) and that his life had been hard too. The clown fish realised that his hard life had been nothing special, and he went back to be with his group of friends.

Now, during the dream I had learned spoilers of it: The clown fish (as Light) had a child with Misa, and then another some time later with her sister. The first was named Lucky, and the second one's name was said, but I've forgotten it. This was done to aid his evil intentions, not out of love. Either way, it was the second child who helped him succeed.

But then the strangest thing happened, as the clown fish/Light returned home I saw an image of the older sister reading a magazine out in a field by lantern light (I think she was keeping watch), then that faded, and I thought I heard the narrator say something. But what I thought was the narrator for my dream was the narrator for an infomercial saying the standard line at the beginning about the following being paid programming. I was awake, in my bed, sweating, and more tired that I was the night before. The rest of the dream never played out, it just seamlessly faded into reality.

Now, there are a few bits that I left out either accidentally or because I couldn't reconcile with the rest chronologically. A part with the Clown Fish bowling with his mother and then time-lapsing into his future self, a part at school with Matsuda and the rest of the Kira Investigation group driving in a car, a part in a prison where the guards were evil and someone (possibly me and my brother) were trying to question an armed inmate in a large room with tables, and some of the narrator's lines about how much the flounder had missed his mother (mirroring his lines about how much Light had missed his).
