Dream

I started my first day working at Wendy’s by riding my cousin on my bike down the street. Once I got to work I put on my uniform and went behind the counter. My dad and aunt was there and they asked me if the platter they got came out correctly. I asked a coworker what all food came in there and saw all those pieces and the food looked good so I let them know they had it all. My dad gave me a piece of the fried fish before he left. I went looking for a place to wash my hands but the girl’s restroom had another girl in there crying. She opened the door and let me wash my hands and her friends came to comfort her. I left the bathroom and asked if anyone could train me since I’m new and no one could do it. So I just watched over people by going to the cash register. I saw my coworker was taking the order of a celebrity and I wanted to be sure our food was good and fast so I went to the back and other coworkers were preparing the order. I noticed some of the fries were burnt and when I asked about it my coworker told me that’s all the fries we had till the next 15 minutes. Then the manager came in and I let him know I was new. After that the workplace started to get chaotic with people ordering cultural food that I didn’t know we had or how to make it. I saw one of the meals was a Oshun dish and I was so confused as to how that made it on Wendy’s menu.

I was getting ready for school in my bathroom and then my mom came and we talked. After this, I don't remember much but I went to school where I met my classmates and talked to one of them. Standing close to the class's attached restroom another friend of mine hugged me from behind and thanked me for bringing my phone or helping her with something. After some time a group of music teachers came to our class to help compose a song. We had a fun conversation and then suddenly we all started storming out of the class. I lost my friend group and the music teachers and was going down the stairs and the escalators when I realized I didn't know how to get out of the school which was attached to a cancer center and an art and culture program hall. There at the bottom of the slope, I met two people from one of my past schools, one of my crushes and his friend/girlfriend. There we started talking while we were going up the slope where I tripped and started skidding down while they watched all confused. Then we talked about one of the art programs that was held in the hall and found out that both him and me had attended it on the same day. I told him that I had seen him but didn't want to go talk to him and make things awkward. Then I woke up.

I had a dream that me and a friend of mine wanted to get some Asian food. We ordered the food but we found out that it was gonna take way too long so we walked away while waiting. When we got back the food was ready but we had to take a quiz on Asian culture before we could eat. Both of use were black.

Dream

I was in the park with my mom and a group of women and children were making a Christmas wreath out of candy canes. A group of people came over to them and said they could not be in their territory and neede me to leave but they didn’t. My mom and ask why they could not be there and a female said it w their land. We then get to a house that was on a corner. It is the house of the woman we were talking to. She mentioned that she was selling the house. At the time I was looking for a place to stay. The woman gives us a tour and we meet the woman’s daughter and a group of little girls that live there. My mom and live the house and want to buy it. The woman agrees and we end up spending the night. The next morning the girls are going to school but it’s not regular public school it’s their cultures school. Everyone leaves but the old homeowner daughter. We start talking and she asks if I want to be apart of one of her cultures rituals and I agree. We go into the basement and there are groups of people getting their hair cut and getting cleansed. As time went on I get cleansed and then I am getting a hair cut. The girl suggest a type of hair cut and I agree. After that conversation I start to feel a attraction to her and I think she feels the same way. The person giving me a hair cut explains she cannot do the haircut the girl wants so she gives me another hair cut that suits me better. I then go to this pit of mud with some other people and is at the bottom of the pit. The people on the outside of the pit are chanting and mud is put on my face by a mysterious being. I then come out of the mud changed somehow. I then go to the park where the group of people were making the candy cane wreath and find the wreath under the picnic table. I grab it and take it to the public school.

Dream

I was in a place that looked like an outside shopping centre consisting of white-looking buildings. I go into the building and go to the right hallway which was quiet short to see 2 doors, one on the left and one on the right. I didn't notice the right door so I went to the left and opend it. In there I saw a church I have never seen before, it was vibrant and it looked colorful like they were celebrating something. I go inside of it and walk up to the alter. A kid peeks inside the church but leaves after he sees me. I assume I'm not suppose to be here so j also leave. I walk through the short hallway to see a door I didn't notice before so I go peek inside and ji forgot what was in there. I leave the building and suddenly I'm in a shopping centre but this time the shopping centre is vibrant, warm in color and is one of those enclosed shopping centres. I see a group of people, they look like from another culture going to celebrate something in the church building. I see that they have a Dutch flag somewhere. So I start trying to speak Dutch to a girl my age which I found attractive. I say hi in Dutch and ask her where a place is but I don't know how to say bathroom in Dutch so I ask the other Dutch people how do I say bathroom in Dutch. So I say i want to go to the bathroom in Dutch is(I assume I do because I sent know how to say that yet) and she tells me where it is. Then I say" thank you?" With a question mark because I wasent sure if that's how I say it. The other people are confused so I ask them, how do I say thank you and then they understand what I was trying to tell her. So I say thank you and leave. This conversation probably reflect how I talk to girls my age that are attractive, I mess up a little. Anyways later on my aunt takes me to a place where she is the leader and has some type of following. The place is red, dark and unsettling when she's there. When I was one though, me, Mario and some other game character were new to this place, Mario was playing with a bow and I had an arrow in my hand when my aunts follower comes and says that playing with a bow is breaking the law in here and that Mario is going to get executed for it. The he looks scared and accidentally fires the arrow into a cracked in the pavement. Suddenly lots of followers come Mario is chained to the stage so everyone can see him. He looks scared. I told myself that they were definetly not gonna kill Mario for something like that. But my aunt comes and slices q bit of his neck and he dies, there isint a lot of blood though. I get startled and later on I accidentally bump into one of the followers and im super apologetic because I don't wanna end up like Mario. Later on me and my cousins are in a car with my aunt and they're having fun going to q place. My aunt drives back to the place we were and I switch cars with some other cousins.

Dream

I was at a friend's wedding and I was going to be reading for them but I didn't have the information on what I would be reading or when I would go on in the ceremony. But it was a joyous event and I wasn't worried, I knew it would all work out. I was kind of, I was behind, it was like there was a curtain on a stage and I was behind the curtain waiting for my time to go on. It was a wedding of people that I don't recognize, although I knew they were my friends. There were African songs being played, so I think it was a different culture. Before I went on, they gave me a packet of stuff for me, like pictures and mail that had been kept on my behalf, letters for me, and old photographs of me as a child. And they gave them to me as kind of a thank you gift for being at their wedding. My mother was there, she was much younger in this dream than she is now, and she gave a talk about growing things, growing potatoes, and how you needed cool blue water and dark rich soil to grow good potatoes. And I think she was talking about that sort of marriage needs too. Yeah, it was, I didn't know what I was going to read or when I was going to go on, so that felt a little chaotic. But it wasn't scary or sad, it was joyful and a bit loud and a bit unruly, but I was having a good time.

I was in a different world that’s similar to our own. I was a manager of some sort helping people find homes, across different biomes and cultures and prices. I was more in charge of distributing pets to people. I brought some of them home when the people that were meant to have them didn’t show up or moved after and left the animals there. I also had my actual cat in the dream. There was danger and violence and rape of others in my dream. Some neighborhoods weren’t safe. I wasn’t hurt thoigh

So I don’t know if there was anything that happened before these events because I can’t remember but all I remember was that I was with the people from my school organization that I am a part of. We were watching a movie, an African movie. I could tell the people in the movie were Nigerian. Another thing to note were some of the people that I was with were not all the people that are really part of my organization in real life but some of them were. The rest were just random people. So we were watching the movie and the movie was kind of traumatizing to be honest. It featured a family with a mom and a dad who had quite a bit of money and they had I think around 5-7 kids somewhere around that range. And everyone kept exposing their deepest secrets. Then it got to a part where the oldest son started beating on the mother. As soon as that happened, a huge fight broke out between the family. The son started to cry and was very apologetic after he beat his mother. From what I noticed, the only 2 people that weren’t fighting were the youngest son and the youngest daughter. The were just sitting at the table until the youngest son got up and screamed to get them to stop. He all told them to sit down and stop fighting to which they did. Then the youngest son started to expose them even more but this time they were all too embarrassed to so anything because he was kind of putting them in their place. Then one of the older daughters came and slapped the youngest son repeatedly until he exposed the fact that she had a another woman in her room hiding while they were eating dinner. Apparently this daughter was having a romantic relationship with another woman in which it this behavior is not really approved in Nigerian culture. So she went to bring the other woman downstairs to show their parents. At that part of the movie, everyone in my organization decided to get up and leave because the movie was getting to traumatizing and they all had places to be. And that’s when the dream ended. It was kind of a lot to process but it was interesting to see. I also wondered why it was only certain people from my school organization that were there along with some random people but not everyone from my organization.

Dream

I was being driven somewhere by a friend and I was feeling stressed because I had to get back to school for my mum to pick me up. We ended up stopping at a small isolated town called Renegade. It was stunningly beautiful with gorgeous houses, wisteria flowers and canals. The whole town seemed to be inside a larger building. As I walked back towards the entrance I looked across the water and saw there was an inaccessible part of town called Old Town that was full of dilapidated buildings. I continued towards the front of town/entrance and was met with a market of sort. They had many things for sale from clothes to trinkets to art, all styled after the culture of the town, but I had no money so I continued. I saw my reflection in a mirror and was shocked that I seemed older and slimmer. I continued to the very start if the town and came across a Cafe that was selling some kind of lemon drink a cowboy really wanted. I woke up just after the jar holding the lemon drink exploded.

At first I was with my family and we were at an outing with another family. We were outside. I remember it was humid despite being deep into autumn. They were of a separate culture and they were sharing it with us. My parents had enjoyed a weekend with them and had completed a sort of welcoming ritual. they were encouraging me to have a weekend with them as well. I was afraud because of what they were wearing. Kind of like robes. I was also worried they would not respect my identity as a man. I remember declining the offer. But i ended up being there for the weekend despite declining. The dream shifted then to something very diffrent. I was in a school trying to find my classes. The stairs were super narrow and thin and i was always climbing down them. I went to the library or art room at some point and was hanging out with some of my favorite characters from a movie ive seen. They were kind of mean to me though or passive agressive. When we all went home we were piled in a car with our dad driving us. I remember stating "i use he/him pronouns, just fyi, please respect that" and then the energy got really quiet. Then i woke up.

Jamie White takes me to a big fancy building. It's some kind of environmental firm. It's a huge, huge building that's really, really nice and fancy. there are plants everywhere, tons and tons of plants and I wonder who takes care of them all. There are also snakes which are a little bit scary but sort of cool that they’re everywhere. I see a long black skinny one that’s like a ribbon it starts to come towards me And I back up and then some strange creature which I’m not sure what it was sort of like a mini kangaroo that’s a reptile jumps onto my shoulders and is riding around on me and I’m not super comfortable about it but it’s not hurting me and everyone else thinks it’s cute and funny. Then there are these rooms that are like museum showroom. They have all kinds of minerals like big exhibits of minerals and artifacts from other cultures. It’s pretty cool I see some people I know there there’s some guys named Brian and Byron and Brandt not sure why they all start with B and people. Are you know running around working, but also stopping to be nice to us. There’s anything else with the snakes or
