I only remember the end of the dream and even that not very well. (*grumble*)
I was at work and my voice started getting gravelly (In waking a coworker sounded like this a couple days ago - not sure what it was but she was sick for a few days) and the others insisted I was getting sick and go home. I argued that aside from my voice, I felt fine. They pushed until I agreed. I started walking home since I didn't live far away. (Note: I worked in the same store, lived in the same house and was myself - but the rest of the scene was different. We were on some island that looked like it might have been off the coast of Washington or Oregon)
On the way home a friend (or friendly neighbor? Not sure - just know that I didn't have a problem with the sudden company) saw me and offered to walk home with me. So we chatted as we went - I was almost home when we saw a fairy-like imp critter. All knobby joints, pointy ears, red hair and skin that looked like tree bark. His wings looked like a dragonflys' but ended in points. Even though it was only about eight inches tall, it seemed bigger. He was accompanied by a fairly normal looking guy with wavy black hair and one of those secretly entertained smiles. I couldn't recognize the human but I did recognize the imp after a moment.
"You're Loki, aren't you?" I asked and the little imp beamed at me, laughing in delight."It's an honor to meet you."
"Keep up the flattery." He snickered and my friend pulled me away, walking quickly toward the house. I dragged behind, wanting to talk to those two and find out who the other guy was. They followed behind, pretending to be casual.
When we got to the house I started to invite them in but my friend pulled me in and slammed the door. "Don't even THINK about asking them in! What's wrong with you?! Those two are tricksters! There's no telling what they would do if they got in here! They could trash your house!"
I nodded, annoyed. I knew what they were capable of but I really doubted they would do anything bad. After a bit the friend left. I saw Loki playing in a bush outside, smiled and 'forgot' to close the door. Soon they were knocking at the door, waiting politely at the threshold even though it was open. The other one smiled at me "Just wanted to come say hello."
Of course I welcomed them in. Loki had changed form - becoming normal human size without the wings though the coloration stayed the same. We talked for a while. I realized I was still in work clothes so excused myself to change out of them while they played with the cats. (The cats loved them LOL)
I had pulled on an oversized Tshirt when I heard a crash and ran out to see what was going on. Nothing was out of place and all four of them looked supremely innocent - all I could was laugh. Seeing Joshua hanging out with Loki, I thought of something. I sat down next to them and asked Loki if he would help us with her. I explained the situation (This has really been bothering me in waking world - she's about 6 years old, spayed for five of them but still has a thing for spraying. It's a pain to try and figure out where that stink is coming from!) and he said he would talk to her.
About then I heard my husband coming home, realized that after the crash I came out wearing nothing BUT a really big Tshirt and got ready for the 'are you cheating on me!?' thing.
Before he got a chance to start on it I hopped up. "This is Loki and Morden (or was it Mordon? Still a name I don't recognize) - I'll be right back." and zipped off to finish getting dressed. By the time I got back he knew what was going on (somewhat) and wasn't mad. (It honestly surprised me that even though I was half naked - it just never entered my mind as something to be concerned about - they were so not human it was a non-issue)
Bit of garble here.... I stepped outside for something and next thing I know I'm clinging to the side of a cliff. I vaguely remember being told to get to a certain point at the base. Very annoyed about that. It had something to do with a very bored guy and his pointless but entertaining (for him) tests. After climbing down, clinging to the rocks and getting soaked by sea spray there were a few other minor trials - the last of which had an audience. It was like one of those really annoying surreal puzzle games. I only got out of it because one of my friends in the audience gave me some hints using body language.
The guy refused to let me go when he realized what happened. Luckily that same friend was aware of the rest of the situation and slipped out, returning with Loki and Morden. They were rather unhappy that this guy was being a total jerk to someone they were rather fond of.
I woke before the situation was completely resolved.
Additional Comments:
I can't help but be disappointed that those two aren't real. Half hoped they would be sitting in the living room when I woke up. hehehe
