Dream

I had multiple dreams last night where I was doing some kind of, we were, I was with a group of friends and we were going to a place to eat and one of the, or two of the friends I ended up confronting when they got there with their behavior in my real waking life and telling them that, you know, they should have been there for our friend when her stepmom died and that they need to be better friends, that they're not even, um, around and really helpful in terms of being a friend to her and all of those stuff. I've also in a similar dream had, um, another dream where I was doing some confronting of my feelings and immediately regretting it because of the behaviors of others and its impact on me, um, made me feeling really sad that I even brought it up, ruining friendships or relationships and, um, yeah, so these dreams were a lot of confrontation and problem solving or attempts at problem solving.

Dream

In this dream I’m on my wedding day on an incredibly large field and I’m talking to my family which I’m very confused by because they’re incredibly homophobic and they’re at my wedding where I’m marrying another man and being supportive of it (they don’t know I’m gay irl). We start adjusting the rows of chairs people are sitting on to make more space then I go to see the other groom (my fiancée who I don’t know in real life) who is with his father who I remember being a celebrity. Strangely we all walk along the aisle together at the same time until we’re about halfway there. We’re walking and I’m rly happy until a vortex appears in the sky caused by Voldemort from Harry Potter and I fully believe he’s real in this moment. The sky goes from nice and sunny to incredibly dark and stormy and people start being sucked into it and zapped and dying brutally, including my fiancée. I’m terrified in this moment. I’m the only one left standing which is done on purpose by Voldemort and he says something about “4 bags” but I think he still want to take me out. I then wake up but still within the dream.

Dream

The Honey Prince A tribe of people that to cross a forest but the trees were alive and their favorite snack was fresh meat. At night the people started to cross. But then a girl started to cry, quickly her sister covered her mouth but it was too late, the trees they were awake. The branches creaked without wind. A terrifying shaking of the ground as two pairs of glowing yellow eyes appeared on either side of the tribe. The people stood still frozen in fear. The elder saying “don’t move maybe they won’t see us.” Two dark oak trees came out of the shadows, their roots tangled together to form feet. Quickly one reached the branch arm and grabbed the elder, and brought to the tree’s mouth. Chainsaw like teeth shined through the moonlight. The elder was dropped in. Soon they started grabbing one another the other quickly devouring the tribe. The sisters dove into the bushes near by and tried to escape. When the little girl tripped and let out a cry that gave away their location. One of the trees took the older sister and she was eaten. Now it’s just the younger girl left. She ran through the woods being chased down by the trees. Then on the outskirts there were many big rocks, she went and hid through there. The giants didn’t give up, they picked up a rock one by one, until they saw her scurrying around. They stomped their feet making the ground shake and the little girl stombled down the rocky hill. Then they were crossing like a volcano area, the little girl hopped over the sinking rocks over lava. The trees got some stilts and started walking over the lava. Suddenly a UFO came out of nowhere and abducted both of the trees. Suddenly both of the trees were some type of humanoids one was orange and the other was blue. They both looked like young adults but in a shiny pure color. They appeared on the roof of a kingdom made of nature and glass. A small floating child made of honey appeared. Honey Child: Honey Prince our kingdom is in danger. They look up and it’s a giant ice ball coming to crash into their kingdom and destroy everything. The child levitated down to one of the towers and the Honey Prince found, that’s when he found the blue guy trying to reach for a crown struck in the middle of a giant jelly like orb that took over the entire top of the tower. Honey Child: One is a traitor and one is a friend. Then a glow of white happened and the honey child was gone. The Honey Prince once again was on the roof top, like if time just rewinded. The Honey Prince took the protector of his kingdom with him, a giant red dragon… that also looks like the dragon from Shrek… The Honey Prince flew to the tower on the dragon’s head and the same thing was happening. The words of the Honey Child echoed through his head. And he has made his choice. The dragon’s tongue wrapped around the blue guy and ate him. The Honey Prince then looked up because he heard banging on the glass. It was the blue guy! He was in chains and in rags. The Honey Prince landed on the balcony and went upstairs to free him. Then accompanied him downstairs next to the jelly orb that held a silver crown with blue gems. The blue guy effortlessly went in and took the crown, when he placed it on his head the jelly like orb turned to frost then into sparkles. Revealing him to be The Ice Prince. Both friends stood on the balcony and watched the ice meteor as it’s falling. The Ice Price was able to turn it into snow, then it evaporated from the kingdoms humidity. The Ice Prince tried to hold The Honey Prince’s hand but he moved away too quickly. They both went down to The Honey Prince’s throne room with slides made from ice and crystalized honey in a spiral. They bumped into each other at the bottom, then finally The Ice Prince grabbed The Honey Prince’s face with both of his hands and THEY KISSED!! THEY SAID “I LOVE YOU” Then it cut to me being at a movie theater with popcorn balling my eyes out screaming “THE GAYS WIN AGAIN!!”
