Modern Samurai

Well, this dream was a bit odd. I'm sitting in this huge stadium, and it is HUGE, I'm only halfway up, but the field is only a small dot. The stadium is full, and I get up to go walk around. I see several people from Stoffer's party (see other blog), and I begin to recruit them for swordsmanship. They follow me, and we leave the stadium by a super-fast train at the top. Instantly we begin to walk out of an elevator (don't know how we got in), and I notice some of the people are different than the ones I recruited, I'm now "with the wrong crowd".

We go into this room and start talking, when another guy comes in, he looks 19, and he's basically a punk off the street, another person is with him, and the street guy is beating the crap out of the other guy. At first we try to ignore him and keep talking, but we can't help but look at the beating. The street guy tells the people with me (there are five currently with me) to do something, one after another, like to help beat the other guy up and join his gang. At first they are hesitent, then he tells them HE can beat the crap out of them, and the quickly do what he says. He gives them commands one at a time, me last. He almost seems to ignore me, as I don't recall having a command.

I just leave (I feel like I've been holding a shinai or a bokken, like for practice this whole time) down the elevator, and I'm on the top row of that stadium, talking to someone but my mom is nearby, I might be talking to her. I say "they weren't who I was looking for."

***What I think of it***

Well, some of the people at Stoffer's party were going to RLHS next year, and I really want to see if I can form a kendo team, so I seem to be recruiting for that. I don't know why all of a sudden the five people from Stoffer's party change to total strangers, but they are extremely detailed people, like I've met them all before... we basically talk about martail arts while watching that beating, but when they leave, I also feel like I'm wearing the kendo uniform, along with holding the shinai. When I say "they weren't who I was looking for" I was obviously referring to those people in the room, but maybe I was also referring to the people at RLHS, like they don't seem like they want to be in kendo. The people in the room after the elevator might be older versions of the people from RLHS (they all looked around 19), showing that in the long run they won't stick with kendo, so I leave the room. Maybe my recruitment will continue in another dream.
