Gospel of the Leper Messiah/The Landlord Taketh Away

This dream played out like a movie I was watching. It was a horror film starring Jennifer Lawrence.

The villain was the Leper Messiah.

(It's apparent where my subconscious pulled this from.)

The Leper Messiah looked exactly like Hans Baldung's depiction of Death from his paintings The Three Ages of Man and Death/The Three Ages of Woman and Death.

(The only difference is the Leper Messiah had ice blue eyes.)

The Leper Messiah carried with it two enormous rusted screws — one a straightforward screw, the other a screw-in hook.

I remember none of the plot details of this dream expect one: the Leper Messiah fastening a silver crucifix bearing its image instead of Jesus' around J-Law's neck.

My sister and I were visiting one of her friends at his home. Instead of being where it is in reality, it was located on a cove, and he was leasing the property. The three of us were inside his house, playing on his N64. Deciding to take a break, I left to go for a walk. While wandering about, I collected points, as if I was in a video game.

I eventually made my way to the mainland, where I met my sister's friend's satanic landlord. He looked exactly like Ray Wise.

He wore a goatee, and his nails were long and manicured, coated with black nail polish. I don't really remember the details of our conversation, but he mentioned something about signing contracts in blood.

The two of us walked back to the cove. Once there, the landlord demanded his tenant sign a new contract or face immediate eviction. My sister's friend acquiesced, calling his landlord a "Pentecostal Catholic". Grinning, the landlord took out an enormous bound copy of the Vestus Latina dating back to the 4th century, wanting to sign the contract within its pages. As the landlord began signing his name with a fountain pen in regular ink, I suggested he use his blood instead. Agreeing, the landlord set the pen aside and slit open his palm with out of his claw-like nails, scrawling his signature in his own blood. The dream ended abruptly there.
