classical magic

a prize consisting of a ticket to a circumnavigation of the world by a sailing ship. but the ship was way too small to room all the passengers. so each passenger was magically transferred, or transmuted into a photo of himself to save space inbetween each port of call. so no recollection of the actual voyage was possible, since the consciousness would be effectively placed in limbo for the duration of the journey. but we were raised to do a lot of shopping in every port. the first stop was in Japan. together with my former colleague I accidentally destroyed a lego model exhibit and was promptly expelled from the country.
dream #2
Gotham Nights. the photo motif, so to speak, was recurring, but now as a token to be administered by the wardrobe people, to the people who would like to be "instant mortal" for one night. this condition would enable the receivers to be stronger, have more stamina and drink more. kind of like an intoxication, except its effects weren't illusory. but when the party was over, the proprietors were unable to find my photo in the wardrobe. I've already grown oblivious to a lot of the details here, but I think I was forced to employ another photo of a small girl instead, as a last resort. it worked out all right, and the rest of the dream didn't concern itself that much with the interesting concept of displaced personae into physical objects.
