Dream: Superheroes and angry snails...

I had a dream the other night that I was picked to be the newest superhero in this movie about a gang of superheroes. Well actually, I thought that I was picked to be an actual superhero. I was sitting in this room shooting the shit with some superhero. In flys Superman through the window to tell me that they want me to join the team. I'm super ecstatic and get a really neat costume - tight spandex, I believe that it was mostly yellow with red gloves and boots. Also some sort of red emblem on the chest. As soon as I'm in my suit, we go through the window to chase this bad guy.

But then my perspective changes and I'm actually looking into a superhero jet cockpit (a lot like the jet in X-Men). Superman is sitting at the controls, but sitting next to him is this South Asian girl. Then I realize that's more like a movie, except it actually is sort of real. Anyway, she has this huge birthmark on her left cheek which is about the color of red clay. She knows that they are chasing after the evil bad guy (I think he was some sort of crazed businessman, but I don't really remember - he could have been a mad scientist also). Suddenly, in a moment of clarity, she says "We're going to ----". She realizes that Superman is steering them towards the house of a well known public figure and that HE is the evil bad guy. It's a standard superhero plot.

The next thing that happens is the only strange part of the dream. I remember this part pretty vividly. She lays a bird. Not an egg, but a full grown bird. Something cartoon-like, but about the size and shape of an ostrich. She doesn't really have control over it and from the expression on her face, one can tell that this does happen to her a lot. The bird doesn't just land on the floor, it creates a hole in the floor of the jet engine. And I can see the bird with a panicked look on his face. His huge claws are gripping the metal at the edge of the hole in the floor. His body is below the hole but his head is still peaking into the ship. His cartoon eyes are like pancakes. He looks at his mom? for help, but she can't move because she is also steering the ship. She looks back at him helplessly.

Then the dream changes to this scene where I am in my bathroom in my old house in Orlando. There is this black snail with lime green and blue stripes on it, and it's attached to the sliding glass shower door. To get it off the door, I sort of snap/swing at it with my towel. And then it transforms into this 3 foot elephant, still black with stripes, but its angry and it has these spikes that are coming out of its neck. Of course, this completely freaks me out and so I jump behind the shower door and scream for help. Then Angelo comes in and stabs at it with a dowel, and it deflates. That's all I remember. It was weird.
