The God Chair and Squeezey Bottles

Dear Wal,

I've been dreaming again. This time, I was fighting a god of some kind. I don't know who he was-he might have been one of the New gods, or one of the Greek gods-but I have a feeling that he was probably Q. Anyway, I was with a bunch of other people, and we were on some sort of quest. I guess Q was the menace of the universe or something like that, and we had to defeat him. We finally tracked him down in the Iceberg lounge from Arkham City. Q was like final boss in a fantasy video game, except we were in Arkham City. Because even my subconscious thinks in terms of superheroes. But the problem was, we didn't know how to defeat Q. There was no special weakness to hit, or certain sequence of moves to use. He was practically invincible. He was sitting in this big green chair, like GL's castle from Kingdom Come and just laughing at us as we threw everything we could at him. Finally, Q decided he was tired of watching us struggle, and made another chair like his. He told us that if one of us sat in it we would have as much power as he did. I didn't want to do that, because I didn't want to be a god, so instead I started grabbing stuff that was sitting on the arm of the chair.
One thing I grabbed was some kind of weird flair that you could light and use as a weapon. I tried to hit him with it and that didn't do anything, so instead I grabbed these squeezey bottles filled with green poison-one in each hand-and started squirting the poison on Q as if I were putting ketchup on a hot dog. I'm not sure why the first delivery system for the poison my subconscious thought of was a squeezey bottle...who knows. When you think about it, it's a pretty impractical way to poison someone. Unless the poison was absorbed through the skin.
Anyway, my last train of thought inside the dream was that Q was a water elemental, because water smothers fire and water is cleansing. It makes sense, right? My alarm clock rang at that most inconvenient moment, so I never got to find out whether or not Q was a water elemental. We would have probably all died in the end, anyway. My dreams usually end like that.
