Dream

I’m at the ground-level floor in the staircase hall of some beautiful academic marble structure Being dragged toward the less well-tiled area and being pushed through a crack in the huge cave wall, the person doing this to me seems to be operating with a sense of discretion and urgency, asking me to “keep quiet and do well” Once I am pushed through somehow(magically), there is a whole ass cave with a furnace down the cyclical slope The walls are decked with raw rubies and sapphires, glaring with the light from the burning furnace The furnace itself seem to be crusted and bedecked with a similar soft of deep blue, purple and red gems Piles of pearly treasures, artifacts, gemstones like flaming fire opal, and a beautifully enameled indigo owl mask, lined with gold and pearls like so, decorated with gilded lines and swirls A girl joining the sacred burning process or whatever this is(everyone here is caped and masked with that owl mask) notices me, trots over discreetly I hand her whatever I needed to hand to her, and try and get her out as per the instructions The warden seems to notice the girl’s strange behaviors and calls out to reprimand coldly Intimidated by her voice the girl replies affirmatively and ushers me out of the cave(I don’t resist because the warden sounds and seems like a hell of a discipline freak and I don’t wanna have more than the immense fear I’m already experiencing from the voice alone get struck into my system) Promising to meet back at the common space in the dorm and getting pushed tf back outside Stumbling away from the place with the friends outside after nearly being found out by a teacher who happened to be passing nearby Scene changes and I’m back at the dorm(Hogwarts-esque) or whatever this room is It seems to be some kind of a studies/meeting room/common space, mahogany bookshelves and a roundtable and everything Eating lunch, clock says I got 40-30 minutes till the lunch hour ends Tomato sauce on a hamburger steak, fries and lettuce salad, mini tomatoes Sara, Maka and others from my 5-6th grade friend group join, as well as the girl in the furnace from earlier Merry conversations and magic being used for petty and silly things, laughters, floating objects, crystals and wands, trinket exchanges The warden from earlier, decked up in a satin black cape with crow feathers trim on the collar and a few gold jewelries, wearing purple lipstick comes and joins the merriment Plates of meat dishes they brough along with a huge bowl of salad and such Along with Lightning Farron, Sephiroth, Satz Katzroy, Vanille, Fang and Hope(all of them are from either Final Fantasy XIII or VII) Lightning and Sephiroth seldom lets each other have peach, fights in the room, while others chuckle at the silly(not so silly because mass destruction of property) scene and talk to me and each other about the timetable for the afternoon and such Apparently there is a whole-school gathering from 1:05PM I’m almost finished with my lunch, on my olate only a couple pieces of lettuce, the crushed remnants of the cherry tomato, the seeds from the tomatos in the sauce, and a bit of the hamburger steak as the crow-feathered woman from earlier talks to me

City
Frog

Dream

Being on a low mountain, looking down at the city and the surrounding scapes from the woods near the top canopy The One-Night Castle ruins built by the Toyotomi’s force in their attempt to trick and shatter the Hojo clan’s morale I’ve already climbed to the top Being urged and pushed down the path because the pursuers are coming and we are not safe Tuatha De Danann, night in the Celtic woods, sounds of owl, croaking frogs and crickets Scene changes and now I’m on a tile of game map; flat surface and I’m watching my own avatar move from above and aside(third-person point of view) The sky is made of paper and is sort of gray(and dark yellow, like before the storm/hurricane), everything in the backdrop is cut out of paper, pretty collages and marble chess tiles, mainly white, black, brass and rose red/magentas, very basilica-esque And as the avatar I’m carrying and convversing with my younger brother, who had grown significantly compared to how he was the last time I saw him in real life; in this dream he’s around fifteen or so All the conversations I have with him come into my head like in-game dialogues while I run around outside in this beautiful gothic-lolita papier-mâché world and into some other scenes(game level) It looks like a mix of Stazione Centrale di Milano, Station of St. Lucia of the Venezia, some cathedral or a basilica, Vigrid station from the first Bayonetta, the blend of new and old architectures with still that exquisite, richly sepia-colored feel to it all We are having conversations about how mom is and our opinions on her; he’d been living with her for a bit after the divorce before he was taken into the state’s custody, and I’d known her and lived with her most of my life till the divorce He tells me how during her pregnancy(while he was in her womb), she would go on sometimes about how unreliable and absent(emotionally, physically or psychologically) her husband(our father) ‘because of work’ and ‘all the things that he had gone through’, clearly being at least a bit remorseful and bitter about it but still clinging on We(mainly he) calmly point out how despite knowing that the man was no good when it came to those important matters of heart and one’s development psychologically, she didn’t do anything that’d actually help and ended up clinging onto something that would benefit none of us, out of habit(she’s basically been conditioned her whole life to fawn for red flags, narcissists and abusers; by her parents, her family, and then by the schools’ lecherous teachers, and then by her ‘fiancé’s, her sexual assault experience, and her former lovers and the current one(our dad)) Meanwhile we talk, I fdash and sprint across the maps, zooming through the moving bridges and limbo sticks that’s on some gaping bottomless abyss cut right out of the marble structures, infinitely large and situating itself below our feet Once we’re back in the atria(the glass-dorm roofed mercato) we look for a place to eat before the train we’d like to get on leaves Two options among all others stand out: an old, traditional cafe-restaurant, or the new limited time exhibition of some ‘artistic’ cook’s inventions(course meals) We talk about wanting the first one but somehow our asses gravitate toward the newer stand At the table all the other customers(seems to be almost all white, so bougie and pretentious) greet us and carry the conversations while I lightly doze off on my younger beother’s shoulder while he curiously reads the menues and tries to match them by pictures and ingredient lists I’m responding to the Italian locals that are attempting to talk to us in simple, beginner’s level vocalilaries that I barely remember Pasta genovese and some kind of a canned oil-preserved fushes with some sliced and clean raw fishes

dream-about-anaconda-in-glass-room
Anaconda
Owl

Dream

I’m in a room, almost like a marquee but it’s completely made of glass. Surrounded by wetlands and swamps & tall reeds. I’m sitting in a camp chair or a tall directors chair. There’s 3 people with me but they’re not concerned and just living their day. I’m worried as I’m watching a huge anaconda go under the house and out the other side a few times. It swims back and forth under the house. I don’t know if it’s watching me but I’m watching it and getting nervous. I feel if I stay in my chair I’m safe but everyone walking around like normal has me worried for them. The anaconda comes from the right and I watch it go under the house and this time it sees me and looks up. But continues going on its path. A small creature that was inside our room or house has now gone outside and is leaning on one of the reeds and I worry about its safety but I don’t call out. Suddenly the anaconda leaps up and takes it before disappearing in the reeds again. I’m not sad and no one else has noticed but scared that this is the first time I’ve seen the anaconda in almost its true size. It comes back under the house again and this time it’s head is perched up, almost as if there’s no floor now just me on this chair but now the chair is really high & the anaconda is a normal sized snake. I feel like it can’t reach me but it wants too. It continues again going to the right. I get a flash of a Facebook account of ‘Sam Clarke’ and the photo looks like an owl shape out of negative space in reeds. So the water is the owl surrounds by green reeds. Then a vision of this thing parting the reeds around it saying that it’s seen Sam Clarke and it’ll protect Sam Clarke no matter what while swimming in the water and becoming one with it, shaped like an owl gliding through these parted reeds. It then comes out of the water looking like an almost dragon and rests at this gate or entrance type building. It’s glowing almost golden in parts. It makes me feel somewhat safe. Then back in the house one of the people is Sam Clarke, she’s holding an empty Coke bottle playing with it. She walks over to me and I tell her to stop and freak out. I tell her about the anaconda and that it will come for her but she seems to not care. She throws up the Coke bottle & says “what do you think this is for?” And as she’s swaying it around the anaconda pokes its head out of the reeds on the right. She’s waving it around like a treat as he’s watching it. “Yeah you like this don’t you. Is this what you want?” She says to the anaconda as she’s waving it around. She then throws it out the window on the left as hard as she can. The anaconda leaps out of the reeds and almost flies through the house to the other side to get it. It’s huge, almost the size of a bus. When it gets the Coke bottle it’s gone through the gate or entrance the dragon like creature is at and the creature kills it. Looks very proud of himself and so does Sam. Then it switches to an almost sci fi movie. Predators from the movie predator have seen what this creature has done to the snake and decide they want to invade. I remember feeling cocky like “you won’t make it past the entrance so try your hardest”. They almost take the challenge and come down in three ships. Tens of these predators pour out of the ship while this creature mocks them and says they can’t make it past him or this gate. We watch on with confidence when suddenly one of the predators slices the creature in half. Instantly we run away. It’s not reeds and wetlands anymore it’s a concrete jungle, a city that almost looks destroyed but also just cliffs & crevices and rock formations. I’m running with 6 other people and I fall down a crevice, people try to help me but I tell them to just come in and hide as well. We try to climb as far down as we can & telling people to quiet down. There’s people higher then me freaking out and they won’t be quiet. Suddenly they get taken & killed. I tried to move a rock that is surprisingly light to cover me and hide me better as more people I was with get taken. It’s just me & 1 other person as things seem to quiet down.

Hug

Dream

In my dream, an owl came to the house, carrying a letter, saying that I must present myself to Voldemort, the Dark Lord, at Hogwarts. However, it would not take place as usual in the amphitheater, but the process would continue, in the forbidden forest. When I went to Hogwarts, I saw some of my classmates from school looking at me strangely, I took a deep breath and greeted them. Next to them in a nearby bench, people who loved me were sitting. Among them one of my campers, when she saw me she ran to hug me. She looked... Happy, like she didn't know what I knew... That I was going to die.She was talking about my presentation to Voldemort as if it were some kind of performance, and she said she would come to see me. Then I was talking with some of my friends. I told them my fears. I even remember saying characteristically: "just being there, with him, is the most terrifying thing for me". After that it was time to present myself. I went to the auditorium first, as the instructions that came with the owl said, I signed some papers, to indicate my presence... Voldemort hadn't come yet. The auditorium wasn't full, but I remember my friends and my camper watching.Suddenly a whirlwind of black magic made me fall into a chair, which locked my legs and arms, i was terrified. And before me, Voldemort, the Dark Lord, appeared in person. Then the sky darkened. As soon as he appeared before me, he laughed and began to torture me. I started screaming. I saw the expression of my friends and my camper... All scared, all helpless. Then I don't remember anything, just a flash of green light reflecting in my eyes. I assumed it was the killing curse: Avada Kedavra.

Homeless
Owl
Parrot
Wedding

Dream

My dream started off in a noir setting as me as a female reporter investigating a mysterious creature that no one knew if it was a half man and half owl. Or it was all owl. She than ran into a homeless guy that had drawnings of the being in great detail from all his sightings. The dream then switched into my perspective but I was walking down the same street as the reporter with my fiancé(a woman I have never met before). We were meeting up with our wedding planner to see about a venue. My fiancé and the wedding planner were talking and the venue got booked before we could get it, which made her upset. While walking back, we got pulled up by a bean stalk saying congratulations but it also pulled up two other bystanders and kicked me out. We then ended up back at our apartment but I was dreaming about a parrot using its beak to scribe the glass to break in, I hit the glass and it flew upwards to the second story where it turned into a owl. The owl tried to do the same thing but I hit the glass again. No sound was made but it turned into a giant moth and broke through the glass like a bullet and I woke up in my dream. I explained all that to my fiance about my dream in the dream and she ran to the room where I said it happened and there was the parrot trying to do the same thing. She hit the glass and stopped it, then ran upstairs and there was the owl already inside. I then woke up to reality.

Dream

I'm in the woods behind my childhood house and I'm 6 years old. I bring my rocking chair, a blanket, and a juice box with me, and set up camp at a tree that has a defined hole about 3 feet up from the ground, where a miniature owl is living, and that owl talks to me telekinetically about how he's feeling, and always wants to know how my day was. As I'm there, I notice an imaginary fox, and I hear a lion roar, but never actually see the lion. Where most people would feel fear at a lion roar, I didn't feel fear so much as curiosity; and if the owl was beside me, I knew I'd be safe. I knew my parents would me upset if I came home late, so when it started getting dark out, I'd look at my naked wrist, and know exactly what time it was, down to the minute. Instinctually. I'd run home and make it just in time, then fall asleep on the couch in the living room watching Dick Van Dyke with my dad.

Dream

It started with me hanging out in my yard, and there were these two huge owls in our trees, they were flying around and landing on branches and I kept trying to get a picture cause I was like "Wow owls are big" cause these things were like the size of an eagle and they were our during the day so I could get a good shot, and at one point I saw a huge dead fish in the trees too (bigger that the owls), but I figured the owls took it from the lake, then after a while of watching the owls I found some people in our yard, it was these two girls who were sisters and a boy and the boy was making jokes about the sisters so I stepped in and started joking about him and then eventually he picked me up and I acted all like I didn't want to go where they he was bringing me, playing it up for laughs, he opened the door to the motor home in my yard and there was more giant dead fish hanging on the walls which was gross, he threw me in and blocked the door, and then I went to the front and joked "Oh no, how will I ever get out of the motor home that MY family owns" and then I started to drive it around the yard but I was having a lot of difficulty mostly with the breaks, so then I managed to park it back where it goes but it was like three chunks where one was the camper part, one was a storage part, and then there was the drive part and the parts had detached in the yard so I had to go get the other parts and hook them back up before I got in trouble, at the end of the day the boy and two girls wanted to be friends so we all exchanged names and then I found a crystal and my uncle said that it needed to go to the top of a mountain and a couple people came with me, a couple of friends who weren't the ones I just met, but we were traveling up this mountains for days and eventually we got to the top and put the crystal in, and then I woke up in this weird village, and I turned to my travel partners and asked if they remember what happened or how we got there, and then there was something about rock shops and then we started going up another mountain and it was a different material that the other one, and them we found a rock shop on the mountain and I got a necklace of four elements and my friend said it was fitting because I could bend all four elements and then I remembered my uncle who could bend water like it was fire (like how Iroh from Avatar will use other elements techniques in his bending) and then I thought I woke up and my friend Amber was in a sleeping bag next to my bed and she said "sorry I had a weird dream about you, I don't want to make you uncomfortable" and I was like "you didn't make me uncomfortable in my dream you were cool" and then I started trying to describe the mountain dream to her and then realized I needed to go back further and then as I was describing the owls I saw a hawk with a really big beak sitting eye level with me on a towel rack on my bedroom wall and when it opened its beak to make a noise I actually woke up.
