This was an interesting dream, not sure what triggered it.
I can't recall all the details but can recall enough to make the story somewhat coherant.
I was living in a town, it felt like somewhere in South America and in the past but I'm not sure. In any case, we got wind that giants were coming to conquer us having conquered a nearby town.
I remember being curious about this and wondering how they were going to come. As it turned out, they came through the river that fed the town. When I say through the river, I mean like they were walking in the river advancing on the town. They were strong and tall enough that the current of the river wasn't an obstacle.
Anyways, they arrive and subdue the humans. They were kind of brutal and ruled by fear and intimidation. It got to a point though where they needed the humans to accept their rule.
Around this time, my partner and I had reached the decision that we needed to escape the town. We came up with a plan however, as we were going to our escape route, she stopped to talk to someone she knew. As fate would have it, one of the giants appeared in the vicinity and was observing the situation from afar. I noticed this and started to play a role so as to not arise suspicion that we were doing anything odd.
In any case the giant instigated an interaction. It turned out this was their leader and as you can imagine fear went up a few notches. The detail of the dream gets fuzzy here but things played out such that I became somewhat of an 'advisor'. He wanted to know how he can effectively rule over humans and how he can extend his rule from our region to the world. I told him that to rule effectively his people can not use fear as the primary tool. Really, they need diplomacy, they need to compromise and work with humans. I said that for him as a leader, the biggest challenge will not be ruling humans but convincing his people to not rely on using fear and intimidation. That they had to compromise and rein their tendencies in. Likewise I said that he'd experience challenges on the human side as humans didn't particularly like the giants. In essence for the giants to rule the humans effectively and in a state of equilibrium, they had to use less forceful methods and also convince humans that the natural order was for them to be ruled by giants. I told him this was the most effective way for their rule to reach a global status.
In any case, elsewhere, humans were indeed planning a rebellion, a violent one against the giant. I caught up with the group as they were leaving one of their secret meetings. The group was stood outside talking, I knew a few and so I joined in. I was listening in and remember feeling anxious as I felt a violent confrontation with the giants wouldn't end well for humans. The giants were indeed bigger, stronger and had a natural tendency towards violence, brutality and warlike tendencies. The humans were more villagers, peasants and farmers if anything. Humans were good at organising civil society, not war whilst the giants were more the opposite.
In any case it got to a point where 2 humans had managed to capture one giant, one of the nasty ones to be fair. I remember observing this. They had subdued him and managed to tie him down and were looking to torture him for information. The giant was being defiant and didn't seem to have fear. He was egging the humans to torture him more but I remember it got to a point where the guy doing the torturing got uncomfortable and actually pulled back saying he couldn't do it. There was some more back and forth culminating in a gun (revolver) being pulled out and pointed at the giant.
As per usual the giant was defiant and told the human holding the gun to pull the trigger. Humans truly sucked at this as the gun didn't even fire. It looked like it was jammed. Some panic set it and the giant seemed to be empowered and broke free from his restraints whilst the human was fiddling with the gun. The giant then attempted to run away but as he did the human had managed to get the gun in order and let off a few shots which hit the giant and brought him down. This is pretty much where I woke up - the only thing that followed was a bit of talk on how to move the body as it was out in the open and it wasn't small or light in weight!
In any case, that was the dream.... VERY RANDOM.
