Once Upon a dream

[(Anonymous)]

I dreamed last night that Once Upon a Time was actually about a future world in which pockets of humanity struggled against clans of non-quite-zombie/not-quite vampire mutants (they were warlike; they hungered after the flesh and blood of regular humans; they were incredibly long-lived, such that they seemed to some to be immortal; and they were fully sentient. If one bit you and you survived, then you would not become one of them, but you could pass the mutation onto your children should you have any from that point on). Much of society and culture had degraded; feudalism had come back into fashion and various religious revivals had taken place. Advanced technology still existed to some extent, but it was the province only of the very privileged (lords, ladies, knights). And I got the impression that the UK had fared better than the US, as someone mentioned that the current exchange rate was 800 American dollars to 1 British pound.

In the dream, there was an incursion into a fiefdom, and a small group was trying to fend it off (and doing poorly). They had a device called a Signal Spear to call others to their banner, but so far no one but an old priest had come. Meanwhile, an inscrutable fellow had taken advantage of the chaos and was in the midst of kidnapping the lady of the fief.

One of the protagonists ran into the woods, which were dotted with sanctuaries watched over by hedge-witches. But each sanctuary he came to was abandoned. Eventually, he came to a place in the forest that was split by a river and a great lake, and he knelt down by the lake in despair. He was sure that his home was lost, and that there was nothing that could be done.

It has nothing to do with Once Upon a Time at all, but, well...in the dream, that's what I was watching, and the above was on my screen. I wish this actually was a show.
