Dream

Ocean again I was in a school. There was an elderly man living in the basement with a mean cat. I had to go to the principal and let her know that the cat was mean and it needed to go somewhere else before it hurt a little kid. I was at my locker and the person next to me someone started a fire in the locker, almost like a homemade candle. But the intention was to burn down the school. I put the fire out and ran to the main office but I was being chased, like someone was trying to stop me from getting to the office. I was in an elevator and pushed a bunch of different buttons to try and confuse the people chasing me as to which floor I was getting off on. I made it to the office and was looking for the principal or someone named Jennifer. She asked why and I said someone is trying to burn down the school. Another student said he would take me to find the principal and I said no he couldn't because it was his locker the fire was in and he was backing those people. The lady at the desk said she would take me. We then were outside and we came to a set of spiral stairs going down but there were boards on the ground. She said we needed to take the water slide down. I told her we needed to do it together because people were after me. We both got on the slide and went down but when we reached the bottom we were still in the waterslide tube and we had to try and push ourselves out. Then I woke up

Dream

I was in a meeting with an older woman and an elderly man. It was in the reception area for a school that I was hoping my daughter could attend. April had spoken with this woman before, but I had not. The conversation seemed to be going pretty well. I remember taking my shoes and socks off at one point. Although at times my contributions to the conversation felt disjointed, like I had simply memorized a bunch of things to say and would pull them out of my hat anytime there would be a lull. Yet it seemed that the conversation was going pretty well. The woman stood up and met stood near the reception desk and were talking while I tried to put my socks and shoes back on. I got to my right foot and realized that I had put two pairs of socks on. A tight scratchy red pair underneath the comfortable brown striped pair. I must have had an extra pair in my bag and forgotten. Since I was on autopilot I did not question this until I was putting a second sock on my right foot. I heard the elderly man say "well we know that he knows which feet they go on" I don't think he was trying to be mean though, just observant. I decided it would be less embarrassing to simply put my shoes on at this point rather than remove the extra socks. I pull out my cell phone because I think it would be great to show the woman a picture of Helena, since she was not here with me, but just as I am reaching to get it April bursts through the door with a crowd of our friends. Helena as well. It seems like a party. I suppose she must have arranged to have one for Helena here after office hours. Helena comes in wearing a turquoise clown nose. I tell the woman, that I as about to show her a picture but I guess she won't need one, because Here she is. Dan Scott is also there which I am very pleased to see. I think about kissing him on the cheek but he does it first then makes his way through the crowd to the kitchen I try to follow him. I really want to the him that I was thinking the same thing right before he did it. When I catch up to him, I explain this. Then I play it off as a joke by signing a bar from the love song from Superman "Can you read my mind".

Dream

it’s morning and I am going down the hill that is near the ocean the whole region looks like it’s around Yokohama I’m with people that I was classmates with during the fifth-seventh grade To name them, it’s Fumié, Maka, Sara, Mariko, and Hirai-san The hill looks a bit retro, a bit Showa-esque, like from the Ghibli movie ‘From Up on Poppy Hill’; it looks like a port town I see tin roof, laundry-hanging poles, the laundries, toy plastic hand windwheels, junk snack shops(駄菓子屋) We have a merry chat and race down to the bottom of the hill at some point When when we get to the base it looks like a mix of the area around the Tokyo station and Hachioji station(so there’s crowds of people, traffic signals, station malls, neon signs) When we look back at the hill that we came from we realize that it was far longer and far steeper from up top than we thought it was We go back up, at least up to the first and the second traffic signal on the hill slope that we see We enter the building owned by Hirai-san‘s family It’s old, the entrance is kind of narrow, there’s indoor staircase leading up to each floors’ entrance Most of the people I came along with already kind of went up before I could Me, Hirai-san and Mariko get back down to the first floor midway through because we wanted to go to the bathroom(I was lowkey peeing myself from holding it in for a while) I think the two noticed but they didn’t say anything about it to keep me from being embarrassed And so we finish our business, and here I kind of noticed that both of the girls are actually male anatomically And while I finish my business last and lightly runs my piss-soaked underwear, dirtied stockings and a portion of my uniform skirt(we’re all wearing the uniform from our Elementary school, the indigo-navy sailor uniform) I wonder if the rest of the group could secretly also be biologically male My mind wanders a lot more when the thought came to being about the possibility of Fumié being an anatomically male person(probably because I used to have a crush on her as a girl) So we finish our business and we go up while I sort of just keep wandering confused about why everyone is male

Marriage

Dream

Taylor and I had decided to get married. We couldn’t get sealed in the temple so we decided to do a court wedding. it was a quick decision, so we hadn’t been dating the full year like I said we would. I didn’t have a wedding dress, we didn’t make an appointment. I spent a while getting ready, and met up with Brenda to finish a few things. We took some pictures and got to the courthouse. They had some kind of special going on that they couldn’t turn away people who wanted to get married, so we paid for it, had a mini ceremony and boom we were married. We went back to my grandparents for a dinner, and I took him into my bedroom so we could talk about things. When we would move in together, where we would live.. all those kinds of things. Like we were doing everything backwards. We decided to watch a movie, Taylor picked this alien one. When the movie started my dream shifted so I was in the movie instead of the one watching it. There were actors I recognized, semi famous people that I made note of in my head. So basically there was this school, a really small university dedicated to the study of the extraterrestrial. There were maybe 20 students, 5 professors, and they all lived in the same building. A few of them were dating each other. They had good technology, better than anything I’d seen anywhere else. The classroom was almost like military drills. It was incredibly strict, there was a lot of physical activity along with the technology portion. After day one, a classmate suggested that we go into town. (I’m not sure if I was watching from the POV from another student, or if I was one of the students) we all agreed it would be a good idea. We had these gliders we used to get around, something similar to what link uses in breath of the wild except they were electronically deployed, and incredibly thin. So closer to what aloy uses I guess. We went into town, had some fun at the bar, and then made our way back. On the way, a classmate suddenly went down to the ground to investigate something. The rest of the students made a comment that he does that sometimes and to just continue without him, so we did. His girlfriend mentioned that he has a sort of 6th sense, and certain things will trigger it and he must’ve seen something. Another student got a bloody nose and said that usually it’s a premonition of something, and went to take care of it. Some students were nervous, and others were abuzz that something good was coming. The next morning the student hadn’t returned. His girlfriend was a little worried about him, and suddenly my POV switched to her. Professors were coming in wondering where he was, saying he had breached the rules and told me (the girlfriend) to find him. They dismissed me from class and I looked through the entire building. Moved on, got in my truck, and went into town searching for him. Nothing turned up, and I had to go back to the building. I was really worried about him, and sat down in a lounge room with some of the other students making a comment about how concerned I was. Suddenly, either on the TV or in my mind I can’t remember, this old man with really tan skin and long grey hair appeared and told us he knew where my boyfriend was. That he was being held by aliens, and we had to follow his instructions to get him back. I was desperate, and worried and agreed. The man sent us on this goose chase, telling us to go and do certain things. A lot of it was dangerous, students ended up with cut limbs. Scratches and cuts all over their bodies. Acid burning them. It was a montage that played in my mind. We had to defy the professors, meet in secret, carry out horrible things. We brought danger to everyone. Almost killing half of our team. The big plot twist was that we were all being kept in these incubation boxes/beds hooked up to tubes to keep us alive. The camera showed us rolling around making weird noises like we were trying to talk. Our eyes wide open but glassy, like we were sleeping. The old man was an alien who was torturing us. No one was ever missing. The pain, the bleeding, the burns, all fake. But the pain felt real, I could see the blood in my dream. The guts, the bones, the saggy look someone’s face got when they were about to die. And then I woke up.

Dream

Dream I was in a school, alone, going through different classrooms trying to find a safe one, one had living squishmellow plushies. Like animals but they felt like pillows. I was hiding from a teacher and people who wouldn’t leave me alone because I was having an anxiety attack, they wanted me to stay and do something, i don’t know what but they made me scared more. I was in the safe classroom with the Squishmellows and i hugged a tiger one, I was just minding my own business with the tiger plushie and some other ones, and then I moved a bit and put an actual plushie that was not living on the other side of me so I was hidden even more, but as soon as I did that I saw someone coming, she was mysterious, she had glasses she was somewhat old but young at the same time in her 40s? She had a similar skin complexion as me, She started asking me questions and it made me scared, the question “who are you?” And “you aren’t supposed to be in this classroom.” I tried to reason with her and everything and it seemed like it worked? Then I saw the outline of the people who are looking for me outside of the classroom, the windows, and she instantly said “quickly this way” then I was lead into this glass room with a weird chalice bowl shaped cup, the bowl was in this weird silver square. She told me to pick it up and i did, but to be careful i grabbed all of it and not just the bowl, and to drink it, so I did, I drank the liquid it tasted sweet like tea, it was not cold, it was lukewarm, then I saw her, she was grabbing something, and she did it in a manner that scared me and made me stop drinking, she told me to keep drinking as she put in this strange silver liquid, I just got a small taste from it being mixed with the other liquid. It was sour, tasted like mercury, I didn’t really drink it, I didn’t drink any of it, but I lied, and then I saw through her and I told her how i could see that she wanted to harm me, that it was poison, she didn’t even try to hide the fact afterwards. She admits it. I don’t remember what happened after that I don’t remember what happened to her or where she went all I remember next is that the doors had become wide open now, and people my age had been leaving from it, now me outside of the classroom into the hall, I met some girl, she was nice, she was one of the students, in that classroom, she had no idea the teacher was evil, but she wanted to help me, she was truly trustable, then one of my friends, i caught a chance to see them and now us three began to find a solution to all of this, on our journey as we walked down to the hallway in a hurry, I stopped as thoughts began to erode my mind about what just happened, I thought, I really need to see someone, so i told them that i will be back and that i should see the nurse, and they understood that, one of them said they would go with me, but they both ended up walking with me, one of them got distracted by this weird man in a booth, he kept saying “ah I see you are on a journey, do you want to see how it ends? Would you like to see your future?” One of my friends took out a ticket and had the man tell them theirs, this was nerve wracking for me, this dude had weird vibes and I just wanted to go to the nurse so I don’t die from poisoning. But they wanted me to do it too real quick, so I did, i grabbed one of my lesser tickets, but wait it was ripped, I grabbed the pieces of it, it wasnt ripped badly and could be easily tapped together like a dollar bill, he did not like this i could tell he wanted a better ticket but i tried reasoning with him, which he seemed okay with but underneath not making it very clear, his motives about me trying to fix it and tape it back together, he became more aggressive, ripping the ticket more and more, saying it’s impossible to fix, that i should give him a better ticket, the special ones i have, as I’m here trying to fix the worsened ticket my friends are here trying to just get this over with and coax me into giving this man a overcharged ticket, because its taking so long, and now I’m anxious even more, sweating as I try to deal with this, now the strange man gets angry as I finally fix it and he was just like “why didn’t you just give me your good tickets?!” And then he ripped it up and flame eyes in him, I instantly got a magic vision like a magic ball or magic mirror showing me a vision of the future or present, it was a mangled face, that was supposed to be mine, it was all bloody with a bunch of ravens on top of it eating it, it was gross and looked like red fruit with a bunch of rips and bites in it where you can’t distinguish a face at all just bone and meat after the ravens disbursed and then it apparently got shown to everyone in the school at the same time, and they had been calling me by my dead name and then I woke up feeling humiliated and anxious.
