Dream
I was in a video game. I was sneaking around a castle with a group of allies whom I was responsible for healing. One main alley was called a “golem” and he was much bigger and stronger than me, he looked to be a semi-skeleton man with brown hair. I was wearing a little golden shirt and black hat, one of those medieval style hats with a feather. My enemies consisted of legions of blonde white girls who were extremely mean. These girls also had teams of vampires and skeletons working for them. On an upper floor of the castle in a huge library, there was a huge battle I had to win. There were groups of enemies, skeletons, vampires, and other monsters, and at first my team took down groups one by one. Eventually though my team was dispersing a bit too much and triggering new groups to attack before we were ready, so we ended up getting ambushed. I did my best to heal everyone and keep going but I realized we’d fail, so I let it happen and started the major battle over. This time I was much more strategic, and I saw my team slowly and in more detail. We kept tight against walls, and we made it to the back of the library, where I went out onto a deck and had an argument with one of those white girl enemies. I remember gazing at blue and gold clouds in the evening sky, and trying to sing for these girls. I had to sing super high notes and I did well on one round, then worse on the second, and an invisible female narrator sympathized with me, saying she knew I couldn’t sing well because these conservative white women were so cruel. Another part of the dream was looking at a Wanted poster or some sort of public notice about a criminal with my allies beside me. It was sunny and green outside and I was sitting against a stony wall. One of the enemy girls approached me, she had super long curled blonde hair. She expected me to respond to the public notice a certain way, and I pretended to so she would leave me alone. She wanted me to condemn the person on the poster, so I acted like I did when actually I admired the person. The girl left and when she looked back later I pretended to look disgusted, and as soon as she looked away, my face went neutral.
Overall the dream was funny and self-aware, like I knew I was dreaming a video game on some level. I think the white girls represented religion (my family had a long conversation about religion last night, and how our born again extended families at times disrespected or alienated us because we’re not Christian). The whole thing was a video game because I’ve been annoyed and disrespected by the religious family I do have, but I don’t ultimately take it that seriously.
