Here's what I recall though.
I'm pretty sure I was following Fury around, and not the cool Fury but Samuel L. Jackson Fury. We were following some dude around, who was really bad apparently. Well, Fury this guy and a few others were squaring off on this cliff. I was down below, and trying to find a way to get up there to help out. I ended up getting up a bit, and as he got closer I went to knock him down, but couldn't or something. This kept him occupied long enough for the other peoples to help out.
At this point it was revealed that he worked for someone really powerful in the city, and that by messing with him we were starting a fight we couldn't understand the size of. Well, Fury being Fury dismissed his warnings and threw him in his car, taking off for Shield headquarters, at least that's what my thoughts are.
I was no longer physically following Fury, but rather watching events unfold within his vehicle as though a spirit or a camera in a movie. Either way, the guy ranted about the power Fury was picking a fight with, and Fury responded with how he was going to bring justice to this guy or whatever Fury says. Well, out of the blue the captive gets shot, and I start looking around wildly.
Was there a sniper? Who killed him? What was the point?
Fury starts looking around too, and about this time both Fury and I realize the scope of what was started. We both realize that this villain has such a hold on the city that any single citizen could be turned against us at his very wish. It is at that time that the two of us in unison turn to look out the passenger window and see a lady, in every manner of the word, pull out a machine gun and go to town on Fury's car.
Cut.
Just like a movie, no?
Well, I think I woke up at that point, and then went back to sleep where I continued the dream.
It was as though time had passed, and I was standing there in the midst of all these super heroes. You could see it on every face in the room that the losses we had faced were greater than we had expected. Heroes around the room were taking off their masks and calling it a loss, saving what little they could before everything was gone.
And I stood up, commanding their attention. I don't know if I had powers or not, strangely enough this dream didn't require me to have powers. Instead I looked around at them, at their pain, at their suffering, and spoke to them.
(Paraphrased because it was a dream, and I don't recall my dream speech from over 8 hours ago. Sorry.)
"Look at you. Look at each other. What do you see? I see grief. I see loss and pain but most importantly I see hope. It's dwindling, but it's there. You're taking off your masks and you're calling it quits, and that's fine, be my guest. Before you do though, ask yourself if that's the right decision. Seriously look inside yourself. I mean, why did you don the mask in the first place? Why did you place yourself in all of those sticky situations in the first place? For some of you it was loss. Some of you found yourselves so lost that you vowed to protect others so they would never experience that. Some of you grieved and pledged to guard others from the very pain you endured. All of you know the pain of letting someone down, and yet you're all still here. So take off your mask and call it a day. Let your enemies claim their biggest victory over you. Not taking your life, but shutting you down. Our enemy is powerful, and claims the lives of many of those closest to us, but if you stop now, if you let him take the fight out of you, if you let him continue to reign over ordinary citizens then what do those deaths stand for? Listen to your heart, listen to the cries for help. Together, we can be the beacon of hope that we have been for many years."
I don't recall anything after that. I only roughly recalled the major themes of the speech. I just thought it a rather cool dream.

I think, I drew my dream from three things I watched this weekend.
Fast Five : Taking on someone who controlled the city.
The Dark Knight Rises : Laying down the mask when faced with unfavorable odds.
D-Gray Man : Anyone could be the villain, regardless of how innocent looking.
I dunno. I liked the dream, and I liked my speech at the end. Now, this version is beefed up in some spots sure, and probably seriously dumbed down in other spots, but still good. I think it can be applied for anyone, and probably should be. XD
Hope you guys get to dream as exciting as I do. =P
