Yet Another Criminal Minds Dream

So I had a weird Criminal minds dream the other night... well day rather. The whole experience was rather weird since I was getting "details" that were pretty specific, and the whole thing left me really confused. For one thing it felt like I was watching an episode of Criminal minds. And in it some of the finer details were screwed up... it was like an alternate universe.

In this Universe.... Jack and Reid were brothers. They also have a random unknown sister who is sort of annoying. Hotch was still Jack's dad so I guess that would have made him Reid's dad as well. Hayley was there too. The basic scenario was that Reid was visiting "home" for the Holidays. They were having a get together with extended family, and friends. Everyone was gathered outside except for Hotch, Hayley, Jack and Reid, who were inside. Despite the fact that it was around Christmas in the dream, there was no snow outside.... probably a testament to the fact that no matter the time of year, the team never encounters snow.

Anyways, Reid is sitting on the couch with his sister watching tv. For some reason they seem to be watching an episode of Criminal minds. In the episode of Criminal minds, it's at the very end of the show, and it seems like something bad had happened to Reid, and Jack was infected with some sort of Disease from a cut during an attack. We don't actually here this directly but it is implied from a phone call. We see a set of family potraits, and Both Reid and Jack's portraits are smashed.

Reid's sister walks away, and says something Bitchy. For some reason, the episode on tv is "Rewound" too see what led to this, only now it seems like the episode has changed. Reid has a strange premonition, and calls Jack over to him, asking how his little bro is. He holds him close, and asks "You want to watch your brothers show with him?" (indicating the Criminal minds epiosde he was watching). All of a sudden there is a commotion outside in the yard. A gang of tough looking guys approaches. Instinctively, Reid knows they are after Jack, and sends him into the other room, a long with a little girl who suddenly appears.

The gang terrorizes the people outside momentarily before entering the House. The TV is still playing in the background. Reid stands up but the gang surrounds him. They are all carrying knives. Reid tries to reach for his gun, but one of the gang members grabs it. One of the other gang members (not the same one who grabbed the gun), grabs his arms and pins them behind him. Another dude punches him in the gut, and the guys who aren't holding him walk into the next room, where they find Jack. Reid gets away from the men, and hits rewind on the remote, and suddenly the Criminal minds episode on the TV changes to another alternate ending.

The scene in the room changes. The guys are gone, and Jack is still sitting there with Reid. This time Reid knows what is going on for sure. He gets Jack and the litttle girl to hide under the couch (which is sort of like a bed. I'm not quite sure how this works). The gang members come back, and terrorize the people outside. When Reid sees them he runs around searching for his gun, but it's nowhere to be found. The gang members enter the house, this time holding both guns and knives. They search around, and Jack and the girl crawl out from under the couch and run into the next room. Reid follows them. As the gang members enter the room, Reid grabs his gun from somewhere, and starts shooting them one by one. For some reason one of the gang members looks like Rossi. He gets them all and Jack and the girl is safe. Somehow Reid himself is safe despite the gang memebers having automatic weapons.

later I had another dream where I got some more information. Apparently the reason Reid was part of Hotch's family was becuase he was actually undercover to protect Jack. I'm not quite sure where Hotch and Hayley ended up during this scenario, nor the sister. They sort of dissapeared into the background once the attakc happened.

It's funny but I sort of see the makings of a weird fan fiction in this dream, if I can work out some of the unexplainable kinks. And the weird part is, that during this dream I had sort of a writer's view of what was going on. I was getting the characters motivations, information I shouldn't have from what I was seeing, occasionally I got a first person view of the situation (like when Reid was shooting the bad guys) so I guess maybe my brain was trying to tell me something. The only quesiton is... should I listen?
