Dream
Having a chase around a sunken castle by a modern bay, running away with my aunt from human traffickers
This spans over days in the dream
The castle looks like an odd mix of 1. the one I went to just a week back(Castello Sforzesco) that also happens to be a place depicted in my favorite game and 2. Some massive, gothic styled, steeple-decorated duomo(which I also went to during this trip I’m in right now)
We’d sneak back in and out of the castle and walk/swim as a merfolk underwater every now and then
The waters are a bit muddy, drawn from the bay right beside the castle, and the sky is also somehow always weird; it’s colored like aurora sometimes, or it’s disproportionately dusky, rarely a clear sunny sky(when it is, the air is weird and kinda dusty despite the clear blue of it)
When we go to the bay we’d get chased by the illegal fishers trying to catch rare fishes/pearls and such who thinks that our flesh could be put to use
Because the chase is unbearable we get back to the safe balcony in the castle and decide that we split between 1. Me and my aunt who seems to be the primary target and 2. My uncle and the three kids of the family who are max 10 years old
From here on out I switch back and forth between the scenarios when 1. We decide to stick with the uncle team because the kids love their mother(my auntie) too much and 2. We do split and now I’m on an escapade with my auntie
On the first scenario we’re all on a car, learning about how to spot robbers in the towns we stop at who unfortunately happens to be predominantly Rromani(I hate the ethnic prejudice but I digress)
On the second one we do the same thinng but on foot, running away as fast as we can whenever we stumble into shady places
