Well, I had this dream, it seems I'm in a military barracks of some sort, except it's like no military barracks on Earth(that I know of), because it's a co-ed sleeping quarters(no, nothing naughty about this dream)
Well, anyway among some stuff that makes no sense, we have computers in the barracks, there's an announcement saying that the Start menu would be disabled from now on due to rampant abuse(no idea), and anyway, I get this impression that we're all packing up and going home. So, while we're sitting around discussing what we're gonna do when we get back, the dream takes a surreal turn(up till now it seemed fairly normal), and I suddenly find that we're partially immersed into this MMORPG that I was playing a couple years ago called Helbreath. A demon(wings, horns, big axe) comes wandering around the corner of the wall(Sort of like a hole in the wall between two rooms, connecting them), but nobody seems to notice or care. I jump into the fray, hacking away at the demon with a sword(small explanation here, in Helbreath, every 10 levels gave you a "critical credit", allowing you to do a "critical attack" for additional damage), and every time I hacked at it, there was a small explosion, causing the thing to be in permanent stunlock. I was joined by this person(whom I couldn't see, but I knew their name), Tireless, who also attacked this demon, but then he/she died. So, as with any other game, I hung around their body(again, I couldn't see who) After about 20 minutes, this young African woman comes up, introduces herself as Tamara, and thanks me for looking after her body.
Okay, here are a few things:
1) I've never met any females of African descent(that I know of) Heck, up until recently, I don't think I'd ever even met(online) ANYBODY of African descent, male OR female(one introduced himself to me as such, recently though)
2) While I have nothing against any race in particular, I've never found myself attracted to most females of African descent(exceptions include Aaliyah, Alicia Keys, and yes, Tamara/Tireless was attractive)
3) I've never spoken to or interacted with anyone of African descent offline.
4) Yes, I am well aware that technically, ALL of us are of African descent, but that's besides the point. For all intents and purposes, when I mention African descent in this post, I'm referring to the dark-skinned peoples of Africa.
5) Damn, am I being too politically correct?
