Someone had spent decades digging a tunnel underneath my old elementary school. The tunnel had a ton of rooms on either side, which people had moved into, including people I knew personally. I tried to ask why they moved into the tunnel, but their answers were either vague or they just quickly changed the subject. My friend found out that one of the doors in the tunnel led to my house. instead of being scared by this, we used the opportunity to sneak into the school after it was closed, so we could look around and watch a movie on one of the projectors.

I was at a mall with my grandmother and aunt. We wanted to get bubble tea, so we went up some stairs and bought bubble tea. When I wanted to order, my aunt stormed off all of a sudden, angry at something neither of us understood. The man behind the boba counter chatted with me for a while, and we theorized about what my aunt might have been mad about. When the tea was done, I gave my grandma her cup, and we went to look for my aunt, but she had already left the mall.
another mall related dream I had was that my godmother was calling me through an earpiece, telling me where to go in a mall. I accidentally walked into a toy store, where the employees were strangely rude to me. They mocked the fact that I was in there despite being an adult, and constantly yelled at me while I walked around. I was looking for dolls, and only realized after a while that the dolls were on the second floor, which you could only access with a strange short flight of stairs that once you stood on it was lifted upwards, kind of like a strange, dangerous elevator. This didn't look safe, so I walked out of the store. Somewhere after this, in the same dream, I was on a campsite, going on a historic walk with pamphlets and audio tours and everything. I had been at this campsite before, but they had built a lot of new buildings there since I'd been there. Notably, there was an entire square dedicated to the works of Walt Disney now, including Batman, who he apparently invented.

I had the ability to teleport. I used it multiple times, but usually only to get out of dangerous situations, as teleportation didn't always work, and when you used it frequently in a short amount of time it would stop working as well. One time I was lost in a forest far away from my house, so I used it to teleport near my home (you couldn't specify where you ended up, just near a place), and I found myself in the middle of a group of people with lights and weapons trying to find someone. I didn't know who they were looking for, so I hid, but later found out they were looking for a murderer. I entered a restaurant there where I knew some people, and they told me about the murder that had taken place, as well as urging me to leave and go home, because something was going on. I did, and my mom was angry at me for not coming home earlier.
later, my grandma and I were in a dangerous situation, so I teleported us, but the only thing I thought while teleporting was that we needed to get out of there, so I teleported us to a small Canadian island on accident. A vague, distant family member owned a supermarket there, and she allowed us to sleep in the store at night while we tried to find a way back. I kept trying to teleport us back, but it didn't work, and wouldn't for at least a few more days. There was something off about the vibes in the store and surrounding neighborhood, but I didn't really know why. We had no money, so we couldn't buy our own food, and we had to steal stuff from the woman's store. She didn't notice though, and we thought it was only fair since she made us sleep on the floor. Tensions rose as the days passed, and at one point while I was on a walk outside I was ambushed by two men I'd never previously met. I narrowly managed to escape by breaking a window and climbing out of it, and ran back to the store to grab my grandma's hand (you could only teleport someone along with you if you were touching them). I teleported us away and we ended up in our own hometown, albeit on the other side of town in a random office building. We had to walk back while it was dark and rainy, but we didn't really care, just glad to be back home.

I worked in a hotel with a friend, a girl around my age who I don't know in real life. Our job was to basically sit in the lobby all day and talk to the guests, entertaining them and keeping them occupied while they wait for their rooms to be ready and other such things. If a guest was lost, we had to show them around the hotel. If their bags were heavy, we had to carry them up to their rooms. We wore short skirts and makeup, and we had a desk we could sit at when there weren't any guests to entertain.
I didn't have a great track record at this job. Guests were often really rude to me, but I couldn't bring myself to stay polite, so I would be rude back. My friend was better at staying polite, but she did agree that the guests were simply too rude to us. There was a woman and her family, who we had to escort to their rooms. We entered the elevator with the family, holding their bags. There was a temporary power outage, and the whole elevator went dark. The family matriarch, somehow thinking this was all my fault, took her coffee and spilled a bit over the front of my shirt. I, in retaliation, grabbed her coffee, and poured it over her clothing, the clothing of her husband, and her son, too, for good measure. They left the elevator at their floor, and we went back downstairs, while I scrubbed my shirt clean.
We were certain we were going to get fired, but the woman never complained about us to our boss. We talked to a few people who were having dinner, and we gave some people directions, and then a man approached us. He was short and chubby, bald on the top of his head and wearing a fancy suit. The hotel had a lot of rich guests, so he wasn't out of place. He asked us to sit with him so we did, in a quiet part of the lobby. There, he offered us a lot of money if we would... service him.
We did. It was over in less than a minute, barely enough to get his pants off. He gave us a bunch of money, and then left the hotel, sweaty and blushing profusely, fogging up his glasses. My friend and I divided the money between us, and went back to our desk. And that was that. We didn't speak about it or anything.

I was visiting my mother's aunt (my great-aunt), in a village that she doesn't live in in real life (she lives in another country). She had a knitting shop in her house, that shared a space with a restaurant. My mother and I helped around in the store for a bit, watching people having dinner in the restaurant only a few feet away. My mother's aunt's house had multiple levels of basement, which got continually weirder as you went further down. The aunt's car was parked a few stories down and we sat in it, and she drove us even further down, until we were somehow back outside again, where a festival was being held. There was live music and street food, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It kind of unnerved me, but I said nothing, not wanting to ruin the vibe.
My mother left early, saying she wanted me to stay behind for a few hours more, to help out in the shop. She thought it would be good for me to have some job experience. But the moment she left, the aunt proclaimed that she was going to sleep for a few hours, and if anything happened in the store I should fix it. Oh, and I had to do groceries for her. When I went back out front I immediately saw that the store was all out of wool, and there was none in the back either. I looked up nearby stores that sold wool, but the only place that showed up on the map was a pregnancy clinic for trans men who wanted to bear children. I had no clue where else to go, so I took the car there (despite, you know, not having a license). When I showed up to the building it didn't seem to have a door.
Not knowing what else to do, I just went to the store and got the aunt the regular groceries she also wanted. Back at her home, I put the groceries away, and sat in the front of the store, waiting for her to wake up. When she did, she chastised me for not finding the wool, as well as not putting away her groceries properly.
15-12-2021
I was pregnant. Twice. One baby was due any time now, and the other still had a few months to go. I had regular doctor's appointments, and it was implied that the babies were not mine to keep- after they were born I were to give them away to different families.
I was sent away to a mental hospital after the first baby was born, and everyone said it was because I had autism. I was basically forced into a room all day, not allowed out unless there was some kind of group activity. The room had a bathroom with a bath and a shower. The room itself was small, and pretty much only contained a bed and no windows. It was near a highway, and I'd frequently lay in my bed just listening to the cars speeding by. Occasionally, someone would enter the room and make me answer a questionnaire.
At one point, I managed to escape. I ran out into the field, in a white hospital gown, and hid underneath a table. There were street races going on. I watched the races until a security officer found me and dragged me back to the room. I struggled. I knew I was going to be in a ton of trouble when the doctors would come, so I locked my door (even though they had keys, it was just a bit of extra time) and took a bath, still wearing my hospital gown as well as a sweater. The bathtub wasn't deep enough to drown myself in. I turned the shower on and tried to pretend I didn't hear anyone entering my room.
They made me get out of the bath and take my clothes off. They weighed me. They asked how many months pregnant I was. I said five. This made them very angry.
25-12-2021
My mother was angry at me, so in a fit of rage she put most of the things I owned up for sale online. The rest of the day was spent alone in my room, as people my mom found online came in and took whatever they wanted. I was crying, but they didn't stop. One woman felt bad, and while she still took my stuff, she gave me a bowl of crisps, hoping it would make me feel better.
23-01-2022
I lived in a gigantic house with my mother, older brother and older sister. My mother was an old, frail, blind woman, who when we were younger had been terribly abusive, but had become a calmer person as she grew older. We were still all afraid of her, and had never grown close to her. I was especially close with my older sister, a gaunt-looking girl who always wore dresses. We did everything together, and even escorted each other to the bathroom in our own home, because of the several people roaming the house who would want to or be able to hurt us. Our older brother had some kind of mental disability, I don't know what kind, but it caused him to be blind as well, and he couldn't speak, and frequently attacked people, slamming into them and punching them. He also attacked me and my sister a lot, so we took to sneaking around to avoid him.
Our mother was going to die soon- I don't know how we knew, but we knew it, and we were both sad and relieved. Our older brother didn't understand, obviously, so we decided to not explain it to him at all, because there was no point to it. As mother's health got worse, my sister and I dared to order a pizza, something that was usually never allowed. We ate it on the top floor, and mother didn't notice. Our older brother did, but we just gave him some pizza and chicken, and he was happy.
Eventually, we found out an estranged sister of ours had killed herself in one of the bathrooms ages ago, but we hadn't noticed, because we had thought she'd moved away. Her corpse lay perfectly preserved on the floor of a public bathroom. There were other people in our house who were coming to help us take care of mother's funeral, even though she wasn't dead yet. They helped us get our sister out of the bathroom. Back outside the bathroom, we found our brother dead at the table, his face planted into his half-eaten pizza. We didn't know what he died from, but we weren't surprised. My sister held my hand. I squeezed her hand tight.
Mother had died too, downstairs. There was nothing my sister and I could do, so we went outside, to a small park adjacent to our house. It was sunny there, and I felt like I hadn't felt the sun on my skin in ages. We felt like we had escaped. I even saw my mother outside, my real mother, not the one from the dream. I walked around for a bit, but I couldn't find my sister anymore. I began to wonder if she had ever left the house in the first place. I wondered if maybe she hadn't survived at all.
28-01-2022
I was at a big art festival with a lot of people, including my aunt and the daughter of my mom's ex-colleague. It was really hot outside yet still pleasant, and where we were was an old theme park (I think) that was overgrown with plants, with plenty of shade. I hung out with that ex-colleague's daughter for a while, walking on some old train tracks, and then left to go see a presentation my friend was doing. They were doing the presentation on an old video game from the 90s. At the end, people were congratulating them about how well they did, when a girl climbed up on stage and started talking about how hard it had been for them to research the presentation because people kept purposefully telling them misinformation about it. She heavily implied I had been one of those people. I felt really guilty even though I hadn't done it.
Later, I saw an interview with my friend on TV (they had become pretty famous by then). They were talking to the interviewer about how when they were fourteen, they'd done a brief stint as an underground musician called something like 'Black Knight Boy'. I don't fully remember what it was, just that it ended with Boy and sounded edgy.
03-02-2022
I had a bunch of friends over at a house. One of them was a girl who had brought her dog. I was closer to her siblings (she had like, five older brothers) but none of them were there. The girl went out in the garden with her dog, and the garden was connected to a river, which was deep and flowed wildly. She stood outside, looking over the water, and I walked up to her when her dog attacked me. It started biting at me, scratching me with it's nails as it tried to find purchase so it could bite my neck or face. Suddenly, the girl was in the water. She couldn't swim. I managed to get the dog loose and threw it into the river as well. They both disappeared under the waves. They were dead. Nobody had seen me. I went back inside and told nobody about what I had just done.
Eventually people came looking for her. People who owned boats combed the river but none could find her. On one hand, this calmed me, because if they found her alive she would surely tell on me, but on the other hand if she wound up dead it would be good, too, because then there was zero chance that she'd tell. The party at the house wound down, and the girl's siblings entered the house, looking for her in the garden and watching fishermen look for her in the water. They didn't find her, of course, though they did somehow find some other kid who almost drowned but ended up being fine. He was reunited with his mother.
I found the girl's old Nintendo DSi, where she had used the app Flipnote Hatena as her secret diary. I read through it, through the parts where she said she was actually a member of a system, and a part where she said she was psychotic. The diary was from a year ago. I was scared she would be found. I cleaned myself up so the dog's attacks were no longer visible. I told the girl's brother how horrible I thought it all was. I was a liar. I even helped them make a public service announcement about the fact that she was missing.
08-02-2022
I stabbed a man my mom was friends with, and left him to die in the hallway of a building. I hid the knife in an electricity maintenance box near a canal and then went to the other side of town on my bike, so nobody would think I had anything to do with the murder. I rode my bike on the highway just to show how fast I could go.
I ended up at the orphanage where I had apparently lived as a small child. It was a predominantly black orphanage, and the kids there who remembered me were confused, because they had remembered me to be black as well. A woman there gave me a cup of hot chocolate. Nobody suspected me yet.
09-02-2022
I was putting on a production of West Side Story with a bunch of people. I was cast as Anita, for some reason.
17-02-2022
I was on vacation with my grandma, and we'd rented a huge old house somewhere in the center of a village. One of the rooms was at the very top of the building, and had windows on all sides, so I chose that room. There was a bed there, as well as a small, old TV.
I somehow drifted off, and when I woke up, there was a plague of frogs going on. Millions of frogs rained from the sky, sticking to the windows of my room before moving on. It was so bad that the local news advised not to go outside. My grandma stayed inside, but I didn't want the vacation to go by without doing anything, so I went out. There weren't that many frogs, so you could still walk down the street without squishing them, luckily. I went to see a movie, and had dinner at a restaurant after. Oddly, both of these places had other people in them too, so obviously people hadn't paid the warnings too much mind. Then I went back into my house, and switched the little TV on. The newscaster of the local news station talked about a 'dangerous-looking man' who had been sighted in front of the town's cinema. I was afraid that it was me.
19-02-2022
My mom made it a new rule in the house that you weren't allowed to go to the bathroom unless you were wearing a specific blue sweater, which was kept in the living room. I did it a few times, but after that my mom's husband started hiding it and eventually burned it as a joke. Instead of just allowing me to go, my mom banned going to the bathroom all together. When I went anyways, and locked the door, she got a screwdriver out and tried to pick the lock from the outside.
01-03-2022
I was having a sleepover with the daughter of one of my mom's friends. We watched an episode of Doctor Who set in the 1950s. It starred a woman who once saw a dalek during an invasion, and immediately decided that they were the epitome of beauty and she had to become one of them. She started getting surgery to replace her arms with those metal arm things daleks have, and got both of her legs amputated, instead driving around in a weird low little car with a decal of a woman's legs on it. Somehow, nobody noticed that she no longer had legs. The episode was so frightening to me that I stopped watching it and went to sleep.
10-03-2022
I was going on vacation with my mother. My mom forced me to take my bedroom closet along, which was really hard because it was both huge and pretty fragile. We had to get a cab, and the closet had to be put on the roof, and I had to hold onto it while we drove to make sure it didn't fall off the roof. The dream ended with me arriving at the train station only to remember that we were going by plane, not train, and I had to travel even further.
19-03-2022
I was in Japan together with my mom and our neighbour, who was played by Robert Webb but wasn’t him. They gave me a tape recorder to record everything with, and while it got recorded, that neighbour could hear it from his phone. Me and him spent most of our time together in Japan, going on long walks and to a bathhouse and stuff like that, and I kept clinging to him a bit and didn’t even know where my mom was.
Then the tape recorder was full and I could suddenly not find the neighbour anymore and I was very confused and worried. I walked until I had a bunch of blisters on my feet, a random woman gave me a bottle of alcohol and I finally found a train station and got in back to Tokyo because it was the only place I remembered being.
I sat down next to a man and his girlfriend, who were bickering a bit, but were pretty helpful when I told them about the tape recorder/being lost thing. They tried to help me by charging my phone (which didn’t work there, only the tape recorder did, but it was still nice) and talking to me to calm me down. I also got the tape recorder working again but the neighbour didn’t pick up.
Eventually I noticed that the train only had a few more Japanese stops and after that it was all places such as California, Los Angeles, Hawaii et cetera. And then at the next stop my mom came to talk to me. She said the train would undergo maintenance for a day at that stop, and that I had missed the stop with the airport, so I would have to go to America by train and then fly home from there. I asked where the neighbour was but she gave a vague half-answer and I never saw him again.
14-04-2022
I was on some sort of school trip, and there was a boy there who I constantly tried to avoid. When he saw me, he would run at me and try biting me, sometimes succeeding. I ran away from the group we were in with school, and ended up on a huge old warship that was parked nearby. My grandma was on the warship, and she helped me close and lock a bunch of the doors so that the boy couldn't get in. Just before everything was closed, he managed to catch me on some stairs and bite my arm really hard. My grandma got a pair of scissors and started cutting his rain poncho into pieces, and he eventually backed off. After that, we quickly locked the rest of the doors and were safely inside.
18-04-2022
I was writing a story with my friend over text message. We would receive the story, add a bit to it, and then send the entire story back again, over text. The story was about creatures called 'uncles', who could inhabit anyone's body just by touching them. At one point, my friend sent the story to me with a link to a story on Archive of our Own attached to the bottom of it, captioned 'Go here if you want to read this story from the perspective of mothers'
20-04-2022
The Mcelroy brothers had a secret fourth brother who was a Muslim. He was in a wheelchair and lived under an underpass in New York. He was homeless by choice. It was implied that becoming a Muslim had cured his paralysis.
14-05-2022
I owned a theme park. My friend invited me over to eat sandwiches at his house, though he warned me beforehand that he occasionally ate a whole chocolate bar, and he wouldn't share it with me. I was fine with this. He also wanted to show me a rare DVD he owned, but I don't remember what was on it.
15-05-2022
I was watching Star Trek in my grandma's basement, when people suddenly broke into her house. She went after them, and they beat her up and took her with them. I, panicked, ran off, trying to call the police, but the first two times I got connected to a police agent they did not take me seriously at all and hung up. Finally, I managed to get people to come to the house to investigate. They questioned me, searched the house, et cetera. I was terrified, and couldn't sleep, so eventually at around 5 AM I decided to go to the supermarket to try and get myself to calm down. On my way back from there, I ran into my grandma, who seemed to be completely fine. Apparently, she had managed to escape, but only after hearing the kidnappers saying some very disturbing things about me. Apparently, she said, my mom's husband was my real father.
18-05-2022
I was Niko Bellic from Grand Theft Auto IV, which somehow wasn't that relevant to the story. I was young, slipping into a building without anyone paying attention to me. Every room I came to, every flight of stairs I climbed, I kept ending up in the middle of pub-like places, with lots of older men standing around drinking beer and talking, watching sports or even playing games like pool themselves. I was going to the highest floor, to an office, where I knew I would be raped by a family member. I knew that I had no choice, and had to allow it to happen, or else something bad would happen to someone else. I was the only one who could stop it, so I went willingly.
13-06-2022
I was a refugee in some country in Africa, together with my mother's elderly aunt. We had managed to make enough money to buy a market stall, which we used as our house, her sleeping under it and me on top of it. One day, we heard a train would be passing the town we were in, which was big news because the train only came around once every few months. We quickly had to grab all our stuff and go to the train station. I went to the market stall and grabbed the only two items I owned: my childhood stuffed animal and a tiny keychain version of the same stuffed animal, which fit perfectly into the palm of my hand.
The train took us to Canada, where my mom's aunt (my great-aunt) lived, and upon getting there she immediately left me alone. Luckily, my mom and aunt just happened to be in Toronto, where I was, so we reunited and planned on taking a plane back to our country together. Due to the long lines at the airport, the Toronto airport had made the process of checking in extremely convoluted and vague, in the hope that people would give up on travelling and the lines wouldn't be as long. We were supposed to go to a random deserted square somewhere in Toronto, where we stood in the middle of a circle, which turned out to actually be an elevator taking us underground. There, under the square, was the airport security. We had to undergo all sorts of tests concerning our mental and physical wellbeing, as well as fitness. This was because Air Canada gave more benefits to people the worse they were doing physically. If you were sick, disabled or in pain, they would measure how much that affected you and then they would give you a coupon with as much free stuff as they thought you deserved. My aunt and I both got a clean bill of health, and thus got nothing for free. My mom was having trouble walking because her leg hurt, so they gave her a coupon for a free muffin that would otherwise cost €3.
25-06-2022
My online friend was visiting me in my country and we went to a mall near my house (which doesn't exist in real life) and went to a bunch of stores, including a massive electronics store that was so big you could get lost in it. At one point I got scared by a TV that suddenly turned on by itself. My friend (who is into psychology) started explaining to me that a fear of TVs is actually really common within psychology, and fit perfectly with my diagnoses. Afterwards, we were picked up from the mall by my great-aunt, who had bought a new car, so we didn't know what kind of car to look for in the parking lot. It turned out she had just bought the exact model of car as her old car.
10-07-2022
I was at a mall with my mom and my aunt. This mall had something similar to escalators, except it would send a cart full of people upstairs and then back downstairs on a rail, similar to an elevator. The mall had four floors, and there was a popular phenomenon for elderly people (mostly women) to go to the fourth floor near the end of their lives to commit suicide there. They would take their shoes off and jump out of a window into a pure white space. We were waiting for one of the escalator carts, when a woman came from upstairs, who was elderly as well. As we got on, she asked us to wait and explain what floor she was on. We said it was the first floor. She was confused, because she thought she was on the fourth. We had to explain to her that if you do not get out on the fourth floor, the cart goes back down, and you go back to the first floor. She did not seem able to comprehend this fact.
06-08-2022
I was a south park character, at a kind of adventure/theme park with other south park characters (keep in mind that South Park isn't a show I watch, like, ever.) There was a part where we would go into a dormant volcano to look at lava in a cave and throw stuff at it to see how it would react. We had to run to avoid some kid, and I got lost, and by the time we were at the cave there wasn't enough time to throw stuff into the lava. Disappointed, I walked off, only to walk into Butters, who apparently was the kid everyone was avoiding because he was 'too clingy'. I walked away and eventually found myself at a gas station during an active shooting. I avoided getting shot by running into a parking garage and hiding behind a car.
14-09-2022
There was this cave in some small town where if you walked in the walls would somehow be this bright red, and it was beautiful so a lot of people wanted to visit, but also many people didn’t know about it yet. It was in this small town with only four stores or so and maybe two streets of houses. I knew this place because I had been camping in the area so me and my grandma had went to see the caves a few times.
But then the cave's existence went viral on Reddit… so a bunch of redditors came to see them. This gave the town so much money that they were able to fix up the cable car that used to go to the caves in the 70s (since it broke people had to walk about half an hour to see them). The odd thing was that the redditors actually did not go to the cave, they just wrote near the entrance with crayons, warning people not to enter.
Meanwhile, in the town, they had built another floor for the town. It wasn’t above the whole town but a lot of it, and had a restaurant (Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria) and a big parking lot. Then, when that became too crowded, they built another floor, which they made into a hospital. And after that, another floor with more parking lots and another Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria. It had about seven floors total, and the top floor had the cable car station. I was in the town for some reason and befriended this random 15 year old girl. She was in therapy for her extremely abusive childhood and spoke about it openly to me. She wanted to show me around the town so took me into the elevator that went to the several floors. The first floor was a parking lot, so she just showed me the restaurant while talking about bad things that were done to her. On the second floor, the hospital, she showed me a man in a coma, who had been in a coma for over thirty years. He was in some way related to the existence of the town, being a founder or something along those lines. Then, on the third floor, we witnessed a woman carrying a bag full of stones from the cave to the pizzeria, handing it over to a pug who was so big his face was the size of the door. We watched this happen, horrified, knowing that the stones would make some vague evil happen.
Also at some point I was made to take a French test in the cable car station, but I don’t remember when in the dream that happened.
28-09-2022
I was in New York with some old classmate named Angelique (She does not exist in real life) and by chance we were asked to join a fashion contest and the winner would meet the creator of some big fashion brand. I won by wearing a fancy suit that I made out of black fur that was originally part of a rug. The fashion designer turned out to be Paul McCartney and he immediately pretty much decided that me and Angelique should move in with him in his New York apartment so we just did. He wasn’t actually there most of the time, having houses in many countries and cities, but if he was in New York he wanted company so that was what we were for. He provided us with everything we wanted (food, clothes, we could be driven anywhere by his driver, etc) and our room was a room with two beds and a huge TV and it was located directly under his bedroom, and the only entrance to his bedroom was a flight of stairs inside of our room.
Eventually I met some family and they had a son with Down syndrome and he went missing so I helped them find him on a beach. They refused to get out of their car so they were painstakingly slipping through sand on the beach at a slower than walking pace. Eventually I found the kid for them and I met his non-Down syndrome sister who told me that she hated her parents because they neglected her in favour of her brother.
07-10-2022
I had been exhausted and passed out on the floor in my room instead of in my bed. When I woke up, my mother's husband was asleep in my bed. I went to my mother to ask her to do something about it, but she refused, because he looked very cute sleeping. Besides, she said, it was really my fault for not sleeping in my own bed, because that had allowed him to claim it for himself. I was annoyed but accepted it, and my mother installed a new bed in my room where I would sleep instead. The new bed was way smaller.

I lived on a cruise ship with my family. I was friends with two girls who were both very rich. One of them had a father who was an ambassador to another country, I don't know which one. He was holding a party, so the three of us naturally went there. Beforehand, we bought new clothes and wigs at the cruise ship's gift shop, which also sold high-end fashion for some reason. When we got to the party, we realized it was actually at the back of the ship, very close to the water-- the objective of the party was to hold onto a railing while waves periodically washed over you. If you survived to the end (and didn't fall into the ocean to be, I assume, maimed by the engine,) you had a chance to talk to a handsome young bachelor who was at the party. I held on for dear life because I did not want to die. In the end, all of us survived except the ambassador's daughter, though he didn't seem upset at all.

I was in Canada, going to a big aquarium with someone who in real life is an ex-friend, but in the dream we were still friends. He was very anxious, and was too afraid to buy his own ticket so I went to do it for him. Though, when I went to buy our tickets, the woman selling them kept asking me to reconsider, since according to her I didn't seem mentally prepared to enter the aquarium. I eventually wore her down by insisting I wanted tickets, and I went on my way. we saw some fish, but when following the route the aquarium told us to follow we were very quickly led into a series of movie theatres showing movies that had nothing to do with fish at all. Eventually, he made a group of friends there, and sat with them while I sat alone.

I was back in high school, and returning to class for my senior year after summer vacation. They had renovated just about everything in the school, even adding a kind of indoor fairgrounds next to the canteen, complete with a small indoor rollercoaster and a bunch of food trucks that kids would get their lunch at. We were all given desktop computers and flip phones, which were mandatory to use while on the premises. You had to leave your own phone at home. I didn't like these changes, and was quite angry about them, until a classmate snapped and told me to be grateful we got anything at all. I shut up after that, and went to my car, which had somehow received vanity plates without me doing anything about it. I snapped a picture of them with my new flip phone and uploaded the picture to the school's private social media, where it got over 200,000 views within the hour.

My friend had died of cancer, and another friend announced it publicly on Discord. Apparently, everyone except me had known he was sick and had regularly received health updates. He had died in a hospital really close to me. Knowing he was so close all along and I couldn't do anything to help anymore crushed me.

The company I worked at owned a hotel in a huge city, and I was to go there and check it out, to see if it was up to the company's standards. The room I got was on the sixteenth floor, and everything was pretty normal, except the bed, which was in a hole in the wall that was so low you couldn't even crawl upright in it. Once you got in bed there was a TV in there with you, though. I was there with a child, who I think was around fifteen/sixteen or so. I don't know why he was there, but I was worried about him being alone in that giant city without anyone watching over him so I allowed him to stick around with me until he went back home. We spent a few days in the city doing random things, going on walks, eating ice cream and having dinner in a restaurant that was in a mall's basement, and so on. During these days spent hanging out together I noticed he had a really obvious crush on me, which made me uncomfortable because he was, obviously, a child. I didn't humour him, and tried to keep my distance from him, but he kept insisting, eventually cumulating in him kissing me during one of our walks. I felt sick, nauseous and disappointed in myself that I allowed that to happen. I immediately went back to the hotel room to check out and leave back to my house but I could no longer remember which room was ours and some of my stuff was in there. I kept going up and down in several elevators but no matter what I did I couldn't find the room. I woke up scared.

I was out camping with my grandma, aunts, godmother, and a few other random people. I had a dog, which didn't have a name, so I just called him 'Dog'. He was a german shepherd. He notoriously never listened to people's commands and just did whatever he wanted to do. At night, I suddenly couldn't find him, and when I asked my grandma where he was she said one of my aunts had forgotten something at the train station, so she took my dog to the train station to retrieve it so she wouldn't be afraid alone at night. I was worried that she would do something to him, and she was angry at the assumption. Surely enough, though, when she came back the dog was nowhere to be seen. I asked her where he was and she shrugged and said 'at the conference center'. at first, everyone thought this was a euphemism for something, but when we eventually searched a local conference center (which was inside an airport) he was there, locked in one of the rentable conference rooms. I took him back with me on a leash and went inside a small play space that was only for children. There was a man there who explained that the play place had an entire own currency that children could get by playing and winning games. He sold ice cream, and gave me a free ice cream cone.

I was out camping with my entire family, when the roof of the tent we were in started leaking from a tiny window. We all had to find another place to sleep, and my mom brought me to our neighbor's place (he is our real-life neighbor, too) because he had a daughter my age and she thought it would be good for me to socialize with the girl, who was described as a bit anti-social. I was welcomed into their house and my mom left me there. Apparently, this guy and his daughter shared a bed, which didn't bother me because I knew he was gay. She had a lot of collectible toys such as furbies and small statues. Their house was also one of those 'smart houses', so everything had screens on it and most things were voice activated. Eventually it was time for us to go to bed so we went to the girl's private room, which had screens on every wall and was playing a football match on all of them, but with the camera angle in such a way that it looked like we were actually there. The floor was covered in buttons that were the remote to the entire house's electronics. I wasn't allowed to sleep in a bed and had to lay down on top of the buttons. I kept accidentally pressing them and the girl kept getting more annoyed. Eventually I laid really still and it went well for a while, but then the girl cleared her throat and I got so spooked that I accidentally pressed the fire alarm. Scared, I began running away, but I got lost in a bunch of corridors and eventually only got out by going through a basement and then through a door that had a guard in front of it. I went back to my mom's house and told her about all that happened. She wasn't very surprised, and all she said was 'wow, he really has changed since he got that movie role'.

I was in some big city, I think it was in America. I was in a man's house, and he owned a very famous website that he had made on Neocities. He used it to sell sex toys, as well as post Japanese porn comics that he translated into English. I vividly remember one of the comics being about characters from a video game getting slightly chubby and being embarassed about it. He offered me a job where I tried some of the sex toys he sold, and in exchange he would allow me to live in his house. I agreed, and the first thing he made me test was a kind of mouthpiece that didn't allow you to shut your mouth completely nor open it wider than a sliver (it was a BDSM thing, apparently). While wearing this, I was instructed to eat cereal. If I managed to finish the bowl, I was allowed to take the thing off. I woke up with my jaw hurting like it had been forced into the exact position from my dream.
13-01-2023
My aunt, who isn't transgender in real life, was detransitioning and it was partially because of me. We were meeting in a restaurant, which was inside of a mental hospital, and while we ate something she explained her reasons to me. Apparently, she had been in that mental hospital for a while, and when she got out she had her appointment to have top surgery (double mastectomy). Just when she was about to go to the hospital, I apparently called her and asked her if she wanted to watch TV with me. This moment of calm allowed her to realize that she didn't really know why she wanted to transition in the first place, so she stopped.

My online friend was visiting my city, and staying in a huge warehouse that contained several stores and a cinema. They told me to come over there because there was one building by the warehouse that was owned by a community of people who created Rainbow High OCs and custom dolls. I agreed and came over.
The entire building was full of books, dolls, doll clothing, human clothing and many other things. These were all there to give people inspiration to make OCs. I was supposed to help my friend with creating an OC so I did, but I accidentally pressed a button on a machine that made a projector show art they made when they were fifteen years old, of an OC that was some kind of female gremlin creature that lived under a bridge. My friend got really worried that other people in the warehouse would've seen it, but nobody was nearby.
They went to do something else, so I went to the cinema. In the cinema you could choose what would be played on the screen yourself. I put on a Mitchie M remix of Love is War, which was terrible, so I left the warehouse without even turning it off. I didn't even say goodbye to my friend.

I was helping a man I knew with getting food from a restaurant and then complaining so he didn't have to pay. I was also elderly, and about to be sent to an elderly care home, even though I looked the same as I do now. I was brought to the restaurant by some nurses and the guy convinced them to let me come into the restaurant with him. I did, and we sat at a table upstairs and ate, while he constantly complained to the waitress.
This restaurant had a machine by the entrance that everyone was supposed to put their credit cards in so they couldn't dine and dash, but me and the guy had jammed a bunch of other cards in there (library card, gym membership, public transport card etc), so when we went to retrieve those we could easily also grab the guy's credit card and run off. There were cops waiting for us in the parking lot, but the nurses were still there to bring me to the care home, so the guy and I jumped into the nursing home car and they took us away. In the car, the nurses put me in a weird, vaguely banana-shaped bed and covered me in blankets and towels until I could no longer move.

I was a young boy, around ten years old, and I lived in a trailer park with a bunch of people. I was the only child there, and I had no family there but two of the other residents kind of took care of me. A middle aged man with an amputated leg, who I called my uncle, and an old lady who I called my grandma. They did a scheme together where they would break into offices and factories and steal as many supplies as possible, and if they got caught they would tell the people that caught them that they were from a company that would break in to test building security. Somehow, people always believed them, and they would be allowed to leave without any problem. They mainly stole things like metal staplers that could be melted back into metal bars. This was how they made enough money to live.
One day they allowed me to come with them. We all wore our Sunday best, which for Uncle was a dress shirt with a big brown stain on it, and Grandma wore a tattered old fur coat and a headscarf. Grandma and Uncle both couldn't drive the car (an old pickup truck, the paint was literally falling off it in chips), so I drove it even though I was only ten. We arrived on a large parking lot belonging to a factory that made the plastic bits inside big packages of chocolates so the chocolates don't melt together. Uncle and Grandma broke in while I was to run around the hallways distracting people from their stealing. Sure enough, a security guard spotted me and ran after me, and I hid in the women's bathroom, standing on top of a toilet so he couldn't see my feet. He kept saying things like 'I know you're in here!' while not trying any of the doors, presumably just trying to scare me out.
Eventually another guard caught Uncle and Grandma, and they did their whole fake story again, which the owners, of course, believed. We got to sit in the manager's office and drink tea and chocolate milk while they explained the inner workings of the factory to us. When we were being walked back out, I heard a jingling from Uncle's bag and I knew that they had managed to steal enough to buy us food for a while. I was really pleased with how well I'd done.

I had some issue with my eyes that looked like cataracts but wasn't it, and I needed eye surgery because of it. It was implied that there were loose strings in my eyes that would have to be removed with a mix of laser surgery and pliers. My grandma brought me to a hospital staffed entirely by women, and she waved goodbye to me as I was brought into a room full of nurses. The nurses explained to me how everything would go-- first I would get a few painkillers, then they would numb my face and then they would do the eye surgery. I was required to be awake for it, which really scared me. The nurses tried to distract me with several things. One of them styled and dyed my hair for me. Another gave me a bunch of expensive snacks to eat. I was wearing a blue hospital gown and nothing else, even though it was pretty cold. The numbing was working, but it only numbed my lower face and nothing near my eyes. I tried to tell the nurses but they disregarded me because they assumed I didn't know anything about the surgery. Finally, they thought I was ready so they put me on an operating table. I thankfully woke up just before the surgery.

I lived in some kind of holiday resort with my mother and her husband, a man with long hair and a beard. Across from us lived a woman with a daughter my age. My mom and the woman were good friends, and I got on well enough with the daughter. Both our families were well-off, to the point that we both had access to at least 10,000 EUR that was just laying around in the house. The daughter said I should take it from my mom and she would take it from hers, and we could run away together to go on some kind of grand adventure while simultaneously teaching our parents a lesson. I agreed to doing this, but left subtle hints for my mom so she wouldn't be mad. While she and her husband were in the shower, which was apparently in another building, I took the money and the girl took hers from her home, and we ran off outside. The woman immediately called the police, so we were chased by cops and had to hide from them until we got to a subway station, where we took the subway to a place where people fixed up and drove motorcycles. The cops were still after the girl, but not really after me, because my mother was really quite chill about the whole thing, trusting me to put the money back. We watched a motorcycle race and hid in an old broken-down train station until the girl was arrested. I went back home and wordlessly gave my mom back the money. She didn't even seem worried in the slightest about the whole thing and we happily ate dinner together.

I got a job working at a tarot reading company that operated entirely from the downstairs area in my grandma's house. The other people who worked there were two women who did readings in the kitchen, while I did my readings from the living room. My first client was a gay man with dwarfism. I didn't actually know how to do tarot readings, but the man seemed excited to believe whatever I told him. At one point, I pulled a card that wasn't even a card, it was a random screenshot from someone's instagram post about dinosaurs. I kept a straight face and explained to the man that this meant that in his past he had been very promiscuous. He was very excited and confused because I was right. I ended the session by telling him that while having fun is good he also needs to be serious on occasion. He was very grateful and left.
Later, I entered the kitchen to find my mom and some other people having put a bunch of random toys on the kitchen table. They were complaining that one of my mom's friends had been there and had been very specific about them not being allowed to touch some of the toys, even though they weren't even hers. There was a long line of people waiting for tarot readings, and while I was giving the guy from the previous time a new reading, two young men grabbed My Little Pony toys from the table and started aggressively playing with them while occasionally shooting me angry looks.

My grandma moved into a new house which was attached to a mall. It wasn't directly in the busy part of the mall, but it was in the same 'space' I suppose. It shared a roof. We first wandered around the mall a bit, and bought overpriced sandwiches at a cafe. In the evening, my grandma held a small get-together in her house. I hadn't been inside before so I was looking around, exploring all the rooms. The house had a lot of doors leading to random hallways with many rooms attached to them. It was kind of maze-like. I eventually wound up in a dark hallway, and at the end of it I found that my grandma had furnished a room for me. It was really nice, with a big bed and a lot of painting supplies. My grandma walked into the room and I thanked her.
There was a door to her garden, which was not inside the mall. It was super dark outside, so dark that the darkness swallowed the street lights. There were no stars in the sky. My grandma and I stood in the dooropening for a while, just looking out into the darkness.

I was meeting up with my friend to go to a Brian May solo concert, which was taking place in a movie theater. Beforehand I was getting dressed and preparing to look the best I could, because we had front row tickets. I met my friend at a nearby beach where he gave me pointers to how Brian May liked people to look. He was there with two guys I didn't know and his dad, who I did know. The dad, when seeing me, looked a bit shocked. My friend was entirely bald except for a few stray, long blonde hairs and wearing a long black coat that almost reached the floor. We hugged and went on our way to the cinema. At this point, the dream turned into me going to a regular movie with my grandma. We were at a small cinema, but our movie was being shown in 'room 20', implying that this tiny movie theater had 20 different cinemas within it.

My friend was locked in a castle for many years (at least ten, but it could have been way longer). I managed to help her escape, but people had started a festival around the escaping, almost worshipping her. She just wanted to sleep, but the people living around the castle insisted on her coming to their parade, to the point that they were chasing her in the streets. Eventually, she climbed up a large tree, like a cat, and refused to come down. I brought her food once in a while.
The castle was really dark and the scary thing about it was that you would constantly hear many pairs of footsteps (+10) and you would never know what was there or where it was. Back when my friend and I were escaping from there, a cop entered the castle and we saw and heard him being pulled apart and eaten by something invisible (the source of the footsteps).

I had written an erotic story about a woman in her twenties driving through a specific Canadian province without a driver's license. She first drove a car, but got the biggest thrill from driving a bus. After I finished this story I posted it on Ao3, where it got two comments-- one saying it was hot, and another, lengthy review wherein the writer said that the story was well-written and the characters were believable, but they didn't find it hot because this specific topic wasn't their fetish. The story got a lot of views but not any other comments. Then, one day, I was in a public bathroom checking my phone when I saw a news headline about the story. Apparently, the police from that specific province thought that the story was a threat of terrorism so they were trying to figure out who wrote it so they could arrest them. Terrified, I scrambled to delete the story as fast as I could.

I was going on vacation with my mom. The first part of the trip was by bus, but eventually we had to get out of the bus and take tiny boats to our final destination. When we actually went to the pier, we found that the 'tiny' boats were quite big. Well, they were tiny width and length-wise (about the size of a shipping container), but all had multiple floors. There was a lot of lavish decoration inside, and the place where you entered the boat immediately led you into a casino where a server handed us each a drink. These boats would slowly spin around as they sailed, allowing you to see all sides of the pond we were on. When the boats got close to each other, they would twirl around each other as if they were dancing together.
Eventually, we arrived in a coastal town reminiscent of a place like Niagara or Las Vegas. The sun shone brightly and it was very busy. There was a large sandbox that children were playing in. I remembered it from my youth, but now someone had dug a giant tunnel down deep into the ground there, So far down you could barely see the bottom. My mom and I went to investigate, and she tripped and fell into the hole, rolling into a weird kind of prison cell that closed after she entered it. Outside the door was a place where you could insert a coin into the wall, and it would open the cell door. Someone had put a stack of coins next to it, presumably to help people out who also got stuck. I used a coin to release my mom and put another in my pocket for later. There was a hallway close by, so we went in. This hallway slowly turned from a dug-out ground hallway to a white, bright hallway you'd think was in a laboratory. We walked past a few closed doors and eventually happened upon an open one. We went in, and it looked just like a drug store, selling lots of random things like makeup and swimwear. We walked in, but I didn't feel safe. I grabbed a pool noodle to defend myself if necessary. For a long time we saw nobody, until we spotted an employee holding a man hostage with a gun against his back. The employee saw us and ran up to us, using the man as a human shield. Just as the employee was about to attack us I woke up.

I suddenly remembered a memory I had from when I was a baby. In this memory, my biological mother allowed me to almost choke to death to negligence. I told my (adoptive) mom about this, and she said this definitely never happened because the reason I was taken away from my biological parents was because they didn't have enough money to take care of me. I didn't know who to trust, my memory or my mom.
Also, at some point in the dream, I got a notification on my Fitbit saying I had been exercising more than usual. Also, according to the watch, I was now 'somehow' a EU size 46. I don't remember if this was good or not.

A friend I knew from the internet came to visit my home country with her boyfriend. The boyfriend and I got along really well, so the three of us went to a fancy restaurant inside a clothing store. She sat down at a table outside the restaurant and refused to move, saying I should get food for her. I went into the restaurant and you had to pay to enter. I managed to slip by without paying, and realized there were only about four things on the menu, and I didn’t like any of them. I ordered for the girl and her boyfriend, but when I went back to the table they had both left. I wandered around for a while but didn’t find them. I only found the girl when I went back home, and she wasn’t even sorry for ditching me, stating that she left because she had met a black woman who practiced a cultural practice she was interested in so she just followed that woman around the store. She didn’t understand that I was annoyed about being ditched.

I was a single mother of two kids, a boy (around eight years old) and a girl who was around ten or maybe a bit older. The boy was a troublemaker and was always yelling and punching/kicking me and the girl. The girl was very quiet and would sit in her room silently reading a book. Once the boy was mad at me and tried to tie me up in the kitchen with candy rope while saying he'd kill me. I easily got free, of course, and found him and the girl sitting at the living room table. He was crying, so I hugged him and asked him what he wanted for dinner. He said hamburgers, so I had to go to the store. I could only calm him down by saying he was my favourite out of the two children. Later, I went by the girl's room and apologized saying I loved her equally, but she wasn't mad. She said she was used to it. I felt terribly guilty.
10-07-2023
One of my coworkers had died after being hit by a car. We heard the news while in the office. I was the only one who reacted negatively, the others barely seemed to notice or care. I went to the bathroom to cry. The bathroom hallway had gotten way longer and twistier and at the end by the bathroom door there was a little waiting room with four chairs, some magazines to read and even a plant. One of my other coworkers was sitting there, also crying. We sat together and hugged.
12-07-2023
I was on a cruise ship with my mother, her friend, and that friend's daughter. The cruise ship was so huge that in one of the lower decks there was an entire replica city centre with a bunch of little shops, including things like a McDonalds. The friend's daughter and I went to explore around that part of the ship. There was a lot to do, a market, costumed characters walking around, pretty much everything. The girl tried on some clothes at a store, and eventually we went to McDonalds. She refused to eat (didn't want to gain weight) so I couldn't eat either or it would be awkward. I wanted a milkshake but they shut down the milkshake machine an hour before closing the rest of the store.
22-07-2023
My mother and I lived in a cinema together, where she worked at the confections stand. Her boss from her old job came by every morning to get his breakfast, a coffee and a popcorn. He would eat it while chatting with my mom.
We had relocated here to be nearer to my college, but on my first day I was so late the college called me and told me I shouldn't bother showing up. Dejected, I went to work at a hotel, where I suddenly got really dizzy while in the lobby and fell down, getting a nosebleed from hitting my head. Everything was spinning while I laid on the floor, but nobody helped. A manager called a meeting and a bunch of people congregated around me but it still had nothing to do with me-- instead, he was letting everyone know that a nearby shop had copyrighted the word 'mailbox' so our mailbox signage had to be changed to say ‘box where if you put mail in it it gets sent out to the person whose address you put on the mail’ instead.
27-07-2023
I was at some kind of museum/theme park with my mom and her husband. It was all alternative art, including a room with a lot of stairs leading to nothing, and a room where you watched a 24 hour looping hologram of three girls dressed like futuristic singers sitting around and occasionally talking as if someone had asked them a question. While in the staircase room, my mom gifted me a pair of high heeled boots which were pink with translucent blue parts, a soft fuzzy fur at the top of the boots and on the side they said 'HELLO KITTY' with a picture of Hello Kitty next to them. In the dream I thought they were beautiful and refused to take them off even though they were rather flimsy and I kept almost falling over and hurting my ankles because I couldn't actually walk in such high heels. I remember feeling incredibly beautiful in these shoes.
We walked through a garden and watched the hologram room for a while. There was a feminist mural though I don't remember what was on it, only that I really liked it and spent at least fifteen minutes staring at it. When it became evening I learned we would be sleeping in this place. My mother and her husband had an actual room somewhere, but I was to sleep in one of the main rooms that connected some of the exhibits. In this room there was nothing except a couch, a bunch of people's suitcases, and a machine you could get food from. It was a strange kind of vending machine (also an art exhibit, too) where you would put in 10 EUR and you had to reach in and grab ingredients from the machine, which you then moved to another part of the machine into two robot hands. Then, the machine would close, and it would prepare the food for you while a voice explained the food/how the machine worked to you. I wasn't allowed to have dinner, so when my mom left to go to bed in her room I went to the machine, gave it 10 EUR and spent it all on ice cream. I tried to sleep afterwards but couldn't, because before going to bed my mom's husband had told me that he received a prophetic vision in one of the rooms that something bad was about to happen.

I had to move to Canada because my mom kicked me out. First my grandma offered to let me stay at her place, but whenever I was in her house at night a man would stand outside in the garden and attempt to get in, slowly getting more agitated throughout the night. He'd bang on the door and windows for hours and only leave once the sun came up. He only came when I was there, so to keep my grandma safe I left to Canada. My colleague was going there anyways with a cruise ship (The Jewel of the Seas, to be exact) and offered to let me come with her. Since she was paying a flat rate for the room we would put me on her room officially and I'd just sleep in the public areas of the ship.
We stood on a pier waiting for the ship to arrive. I only had a backpack full of my work stuff with me. As the ship arrived the pier started shaking violently due to the waves. Nobody seemed affected except me, holding on for dear life. My colleague tried to calm me down by showing me pictures of her baby.
05-08-2023
I was on a plane to Canada and I'd forgotten to bring any of my stuff. I ended up in St. John's, Newfoundland, except the airport was on top of Signal Hill. There was a bus that would go straight to a place where I could sleep for the time being, but when I took the bus it took a whole other route. I had no idea where I was so I texted my mom and she said she'd come pick me up. Within minutes, she arrived driving a weirdly fancy car. She took me to a trampoline park/climbing wall indoor play center and told me to finish an obstacle course because, according to her phone's GPS, her aunt was at the end of the course and I could have tea with her.
01-09-2023
My grandma decided that we had to kill my mother-- I don't remember why but we both knew it was important. We made sure my mom went on a surprise visit to my grandma so nobody knew where she was. We then strangled her and cut her up into tiny pieces. My aunt helped hide the body while I, panicked, tried to think of an alibi. My mom's husband called me asking if I knew why my mom wasn't home yet. Everything felt really real, especially the cutting up part. I woke up terrified and disoriented.
06-09-2023
Me, a friend of mine and some other people were having a holiday in a massive building that had a lot of things in it, including an aquarium. We dormed together with three other people (one of them being a childhood friend I haven't spoken to in over a decade) and at some point my friend got a pair of slippers with Furby heads on the fronts of them. One of our roommates (the beds were only about 10 cm away from each other) came up to him just as he returned from the store, and I heard the two of them fighting. I asked him what had happened later and he said that she saw him but didn't compliment his slippers, so he insulted her. In the dream, I found this completely reasonable.
The building was like a giant barn. Every time I walked into the aquarium I got really dizzy, and I remember thinking 'wow, what a coincidence, I get dizzy every time I walk into the aquarium!'

I was in college. The college was just one big brown rectangular building with tiny windows. I didn't get a schedule so I didn't know when or where my classes were. but I knew I only had one class a day, so every morning I would just go to the college and wait around outside until I saw someone I recognized, who I would then follow inside. Inside the college was an entrance into an underground mall, like PATH in Toronto. I remember going in there, marveling at the sheer amount of stores, and going into a toy store to look for Monster High dolls.

I had a boyfriend who didn't like me very much. He ignored me most of the time, unless it was 'kissing time'. Then, he'd make me tie my hair into a ponytail (he hated the feeling of my hair) and we would kiss. Once he was satisfied, I could let my hair loose again.

My mother and I were no longer able to return to our home due to some safety concern to do with my mom's husband. My mom's friend was squatting in an abandoned hotel on the edge of town and we were able to stay with her. When we arrived there, everyone was gathered in the lobby, which was littered with trash as well as a lot of furniture, making it very crowded. I was lucky to get my own room in the hotel's basement, it even had a TV and a bathroom, and there was electricity, which I was told meant we were very lucky. Apparently the electricity was supposed to have been shut down years back, but someone from the electricity company clearly forgot to do so. My mother was not as lucky as I was, and had to share a room with someone.
My mom's friend was the resident cook, and everyone living there had their own tasks. My aunt and I (she apparently lived there too) were in charge of buying food for everyone when we had money, and stealing it when we did not. My aunt and I had a system for this-- she would distract the store's guard while paying for a few items, while I stole the rest of the groceries. We never got caught. There was also a small museum in the store about the history of the store (it had existed over 100 years) and I remember going there with my godmother and enjoying learning about history.
There was a girl my age living in the building too. She was kind of punk or goth and we quickly became friends. We hung out in my room together, as well as around the hotel, which was next to some train tracks.

I don't remember this one too well. I was staying in a town a few hours away from where I lived, and it was close to the country border. There were no stores open late so eventually I just sat out in the dark all night, until I remembered that there was a hotel in the town which I promptly got a room at. I put a lot of stuff in my room, several boxes of stuff that I apparently had to take from my house for some reason. I booked the room at a computer in the hotel, and when I realized I wanted to stay for longer than one night, I decided against buying another room at the computer, instead deciding that if someone would come asking, I'd blame my lack of payment on a computer glitch. Meanwhile, a female relative of mine (I don't remember which, perhaps an amalgamation of multiple) was looking for me in town. I wasn't hiding, but also wasn't making myself known or telling her where I was. At one point I sat next to a fast food restaurant that she walked into and looked around in, and didn't move an inch to make it any easier for her. I don't remember why I did this.

There was a building in my neighborhood for people to hang out in and meet their neighbors. It was surprisingly large, and I specifically remember that it had a room with about eight computers on desks in it, and most of the kids called it 'the Minecraft room' because all the computers had Minecraft installed and they'd all play it together. I either worked at this house or was just helping out. Either way, they needed to install a shower for people in the neighborhood to use when their shower was broken. I did it, but soon realized that this specific shower design was based on having a wooden box hanging precariously from the showerhead, bobbing up and down at every slight movement you made. It was apparently supposed to offer some privacy as well as shielding the rest of the room from the shower water, but it all felt really fragile and like it could fall apart at any moment. However, I tried it and it didn't fall, and afterwards someone else tried it and it didn't fall then, either.
There was also a scene in this dream where there was an old man (who might've been the janitor?) who would take scissors from the arts and crafts room, jam them blades-first into the ceiling and hang plastic bags with packed lunches inside them from these contraptions. At some point he took a pair of scissors that belonged to me, and when I took them down from the ceiling, I saw that the scissors were bent out of shape from being used in this way.

I was doing so badly mentally and physically that I could barely bring myself to do anything; basically, an extreme form of executive dysfunction. I had managed to get myself to take a ferry to another part of the place I was in to take a walk, but after this walk I was very exhausted and when the ferry wasn't there when I got back I could barely handle it. Waiting for the ferry was torture-- it took ages, and the people around me also waiting were speaking too loudly and I got overwhelmed. I saw a swarm of people in kayaks coming from one side of the water, where I saw that multiple gigantic statues had been placed in the water. They looked to be about the size of the Statue of Liberty, but since they had been placed in the water, only their heads were visible. Nobody around me seemed to notice the statues, which I found disturbing.
on the ferry itself, I must've dozed off because I suddenly arrived on the other side of the water with no idea how I got there, feeling very disoriented. I managed to get myself to my house by walking very slowly, absolutely exhausted. I checked the mail and it contained a bag of something, some gift. I took it with me. The elevator was broken, and there was a man there who walked upstairs with me, occasionally commenting on how slow I was walking, but I couldn't bring myself to answer him. While walking up the stairs I dropped multiple things, including the bag, but I was too distracted and exhausted to pick them up. Upstairs, I reached my home and went inside, where I couldn't find anyone. At one point, I looked behind me and suddenly saw my mom and her husband standing there, staring at me in confusion, while they were hanging out clean laundry to dry.

Griffin Mcelroy worked at Mattel, specifically on Gen 3 of Monster High. He got fired three days before his payday so the company didn't have to pay him. This caused outrage, and he was quite angry himself, too. In response to getting fired he leaked a bunch of Monster High dolls that were currently in production. Notably, there was a Monster Ball Toralei and Ghoulia. The fandom was confused at Ghoulia's outfit, because they had expected her to wear a tuxedo, but instead she was wearing a floor-length, fancy dress.

My friend was renting a giant house with eight bedrooms. I moved in with them and got to use two of the rooms, which were huge because the house used to be a cinema. I didn't have a job, so in return for living there I had to do all the cleaning and errands such as going to the store, which I thought was only fair. There was one room in the house which was just full of a bunch of computers. One of them was hosting a singular modded Minecraft server that was so huge it needed a special computer to just hold all of it. The spawn place within that server was a perfect, 1:1 recreation of the giant house we lived in. Whenever we changed anything about the house, we had to log into the Minecraft server and change that about the in-game house, even if it was just moving a pillow or something.
At some point my friend told me they wanted to move back in with their old roommate, some guy I didn't know, but apparently he had a two bedroom apartment and was either a game developer or a streamer. Either way, he worked from home. Living there would be just as expensive as living in the massive house we were in, but my friend preferred that place. I know there was a reason, but I don't remember it. I asked where I was supposed to go, because I didn't have an income, and they just kind of shrugged and said, "well, you'd have to move back to your country, then". The rest of the dream was us playing Minecraft together, while the idea of having to move back home eventually loomed over my head.

I owned a tiny green (Canta) car with beige bumpers. It only seated two people, and was so small it couldn't officially be classified as a car and I had to bring it to a bicycle repairman instead of a car repair place. I brought it there for the yearly checkups and went to go sit somewhere with my mom in the meantime, I think it was a cafe or restaurant. I went back to check on my car later and not only had they not started the check-up, they couldn't find the car because it was parked somewhere in their building which was large and entirely full of bikes. While standing in the front of the building, I saw my grandma there, in her sick, old state, buying a 10.000 dollar razor scooter. She didn't seem to be able to understand where she was or what she was buying, but they were still selling this overpriced scooter to her and she could not be deterred from buying it.

I was finishing the storyline to Skyrim for the first time. It ended with the Dragonborn (player character) and their mother going on vacation for a few days, ending up in a small town tavern where they ate dinner. There were two kind of water elementals/dryads there who were nice and were also eating dinner. Eventually one of them got 'corrupted' and became evil. You had to fight him in a big boss fight outside Whiterun. In the boss fight, you got help from the Dragonborn's mom, who was (according to the wiki) the strongest archer in the game. You also got help from the one non-corrupted water elemental and a small lightning elemental who didn't really do much. Once you defeated the evil elemental (who, at this point, had killed most of the population of Whiterun) he turned into a smaller version of himself, about the size of a human. He suddenly realized what he had done and was really apologetic. Everyone who was still alive moved out of Whiterun due to the trauma there, so he stayed there alone, tending to people's farms and taking care of their pets.
After the end of the game, you were able to go and visit him. There, you'd see that he had taken in a few people who were treated badly across the game, such as several Khajiit and Dunmer, as well as a breed of large rabbits with human-level intelligence. They tended to the farms together with the elemental. Also, once you completed the main story, you unlocked 'Skyrim Multiplayer' which was similar to VR Chat and you couldn't even fight anything. Also, you weren't allowed to turn off your microphone. During the credits, there was a tribute to Weird Al Yankovic. He hadn't worked on the game or anything, the creators just thought he was cool.

I went to a concert with my grandma and my aunt. In the short time I had to watch over my grandma she managed to get away from me and kept walking from bathroom to bathroom to turn the lights off and on. She slipped and fell in a large puddle of menstruation blood that was on the floor in one of the bathrooms, and had hurt her leg in the process. All of this happened in less than fifteen minutes. I felt ashamed and left without saying goodbye to anyone.

The apocalypse had happened, and afterwards almost all of the internet had perished, except for one social media called BIDEN. BIDEN was the only way to get money-- people still had jobs, but you received money by posting pictures of yourself working and doing things to BIDEN. There, the algorithm would decide whether what you were doing was a service to the community, whether you were spreading joy, and things like that, and if you were, money would get deposited to your account.
I worked in a corner shop, which didn't pay too well because the BIDEN algorithm didn't see it as a service to the community. Most of our money was made by posting pictures of all colleagues together, because you got a boost for 'teamwork'. We worked near a McDonalds, and one of my colleagues told all of us not to go there, because McDonalds had been made illegal. One woman who worked at our store went there anyways, and when she came back they had permanently stuck her mouth shut as punishment. I had a friend who was a drag queen, who made a lot of money on BIDEN because she always posted pictures of herself in full makeup, which made her money under the 'wholesome fun' stat. I was invited to see a movie at the cinema by a very rich (old, pre-BIDEN money) man who was in a wheelchair. Everyone in the cinema was wearing tuxedos and fancy dresses, and I looked pretty out of place in my corner shop uniform, the only clothes I still owned. The man led me to our seats, and a butler brought us some popcorn on a fancy plate. We watched the movie, and afterwards took selfies together to post to BIDEN. Surprisingly, I instantly made 1000 dollars from this, by fulfilling the following stats:
-Fancy Venue
-Fancy Clothes
-Looking Happy
-Diversity
Ever since BIDEN came to power, there had been so much new public transport you could barely cross the street because of all of the buses. In order to cross the street, you had to take a bus, wait for it to loop around at the other side of the street, and get out there. There was rubble everywhere on the streets, but nobody commented on it.

I was at a small mall that was on the ground floor of an apartment building. It was 5 PM, and I found out that between 5 and 7 PM they dimmed all the lights and turned off all the music, so the autistic son of two of the storeowners (a couple) could freely run and play all around the mall. I heard several other storeowners discussing this fact. They thought it was weird for several reasons-- first of all, the boy was only around five years old, and they allowed him to run around the mall unattended. He also didn't seem to be sensitive to noise or light, so the storeowners weren't sure why the lights got dimmed. They did reiterate that they didn't mind that they were helping the boy, they just weren't sure the boy needed the help.
At the other end of the mall was a small square with some shops and restaurants. There was a popular bakery where I wanted to get baklava, so I got in line. It was very busy there, and I (for some reason) got too scared to ask for baklava, so instead I asked for a chicken sandwich with cheese. I was just about to eat the sandwich when I woke up.

My grandma was back from the dead, but instead of being happy I was kind of scared and wished she had stayed dead.

I had met a girl my age on Deviantart. She was a lesbian, and she was interested in hooking up with me. We did so, but she ... was not a very satisfactory partner at all. The moment she got what she wanted she smiled at me, said 'that was nice' and left to go to the store.

My aunt had befriended two homeless women. She let them live in my dead grandma's garden and occasionally brought them some cat food to eat.

I was going to Canada with my grandma. We had a three hour layover in Reykjavik, so when we landed there she immediately left to have lunch somewhere with some people she met on the plane. I was left alone on the plane, sitting there until a random girl offered to take me to where my grandma was. We linked arms and she walked with me down a street and into a forest-y swamp area. We eventually encountered my grandma and the two people she was there with, though she was sitting a ways away from them with her back to us. We approached and the two people stopped us, telling me my grandma had died.
She was dead. The people there wrapped her in some white plastic, resembling a body bag, and carried her back to the plane where the flight attendants propped her back into her seat. I called my mom to tell her my grandma had died, but she was very dismissive of the fact and just told me that now that she was dead, I'd have to find an Airbnb to stay at in Canada. My mom did offer to pay for my stay, which was nice of her. I didn't want to sit next to my grandma's dead body, so I roamed the plane, eventually encountering my friend and their family sitting in first class, where instead of chairs every family got a couch in front of a flat screen TV. they offered me to watch a movie (a live action remake of the Barbie version of the Nutcracker) with them and their stepdad. I agreed, though I had to simultaneously look up airbnbs. The movie started, but the two others quickly realized I wasn't paying full attention so they stopped the movie. I explained that I had to look for an Airbnb to stay at. My friend told me a secret tip: If you looked up the tag 'Sherlock Sauce' on Airbnb, it would reveal hidden airbnbs you could stay at, that were full of interesting things like people's Barbie collections. I tried it and it didn't work, leading me to believe they had only said it to try and cheer me up. I wanted to go back to my seat but was too afraid to sit next to my grandma's body.

I went to a boarding school where none of my dormmates liked me. They started a campaign against me, claiming I had a secret dark past, going so far as to send 'proof' to the school as well as the police (who both dismissed it because there was no actual evidence whatsoever). They claimed I refused to tell them about myself, even though in reality they just never asked me anything. They were also convinced I was secretly from Spain, and when I asked them to prove it they showed me badly edited pictures of me swimming with whales by the Spanish coast.

I went to a big presentation about human/rabbit hybrids, which took several hours and took place in a large venue. Human/rabbit hybrids had been found to be completely possible and had a high rate of survival. They would be implanted into a human woman's womb and if everything went well the child would be born with rabbit ears and a tail.
I was the youngest person there, and most other guests were slightly hostile towards me. I tried to make small-talk with the people sitting around my assigned seat, and ended up learning that the couple sitting next to me, an older black man and woman, were the head chefs for the event. Later, during the presentation's break, the man would be going up to the roof and grilling some burgers and sausages for all the guests. They were sitting on my right. On my left was a woman who looked like Anne Hathaway. She started the conversation with "How many have you gotten implanted so far?" I answered "None," which made her frown, so I quickly added "...yet", which cheered her up immediately. She told me she had been trying to get pregnant with a bunny hybrid for years but they would never 'stick' (i.e. get fertilized inside the womb or something). She only wanted one child, and she would be a single mother (which she felt a bit guilty about) but she would spoil her child relentlessly and they would eat pizza for dinner whenever the kid wanted. She wanted a boy, preferably.
Then, it was time for the break, which took place around dinner time. It was starting to get dark outside already, and everyone went up to the roof, where there was usually an open-air cafe. That space and those chairs and tables were now being used for everyone coming up from the conference. The man from earlier was grilling burgers on a large grill. Since there were a lot of people attending, there were four other people also grilling burgers on other grills. The head chef guy was obviously not paying attention to the grill and kept walking away from it. I got in line for one of the grills, but I felt it took too long so I left to go sit elsewhere. I found a quiet spot to sit down but just when I sat down one of the grills erupted into flames due to negligence. Everyone started screaming and running, trying to get away.
Because of where I was sitting, I was near a small (2.5 meters) drop onto an adjacent roof of a building that had scaffolding all around it, which would allow me to climb all the way down. As I started my escape by jumping down onto the roof, a man's voice started narrating everything I was doing from my perspective. I went onto the scaffolding, climbing down several ladders and eventually ended up underneath the building, which was on stilts up high enough to easily walk upright under. The narrator said something like, "He was almost free, but he wasn't the first one". A woman suddenly ran up to me, covered in blood. It was the Anne Hathaway lookalike from earlier. She was laughing hysterically, obviously terrified. She said to me, "Twenty years ago you would've loved this."
The jumpscare of her running up to me woke me up.

I went to my grandma's house. I looked through her neighbor's window and there was a really fat guy struggling to get off of a couch. Inside my grandma's house, everything smelled of cat piss. There was a grey kitten sitting on the couch. My grandma was seated at a table that was sectioned off from the rest of the house with curtains, and it was implied that she had to stay behind that curtain for her own safety.
I checked a roleplay Discord server I was in, that had a new theme/setting every month. This month it was the 'Suicide AU' where everyone had to play a character who was either dead or wanted to die. Every roleplay channel was named after a suicide method. Notably, there were #tourniquet-method and #tourniquet-method-aftermath, both themed after the Tourniquet method of hanging yourself. It was a pretty popular theme.

I was at a Walmart in Germany about to buy a snack when the only employee there shot the door with a gun, triggering an alarm. It was a hostage situation. Everyone panicked, and a woman's grandson (a three year old boy) got separated from her so I tried to make him think that it was all a big game, so he wouldn't be traumatized. The employee made us (the hostages) do a few separate things such as all stand in a circle together. Then, after a bit, he told all LGBT people to stand up so he could kill them. Everyone obviously said they were straight, including an older bald man who was 'obviously' gay. The employee was about to kill him when he suddenly decided to stop the hostage situation and just sat back down and went back to doing his job as usual. I ran through one of the back doors into the back of the store, leaving the three year old child behind. I then escaped the Walmart, running into the night.

I dreamed of a film directed by Charlie Kaufman, wherein Kaufman was a character himself, portrayed by a fat teenage girl. He was on a cruise ship where sole passengers shared rooms with other sole passengers. Kaufman’s roommate was a writer who was maybe in his thirties or forties. He was obsessed with a famous British celebrity called Cy Laurie, who was also on the cruise. In order to impress Laurie, Kaufman’s roommate kept ordering and eating steaks in a certain specific shape. If I’d have to describe it as anything I’d say it resembled the shape of the continent of Africa, with a heightened circle near the top-right of it. He also bought a car, and was seen accidentally eating part of the car paperwork, also shaped like the steaks.
There was a big fancy store that took up an entire 1/3rd of a level of the ship. It only sold bags in the shape. He bought one of those, too. His therapist was on the cruise as well, and every time the writer bought something his therapist would walk by and mock him. Kaufman was barely in any scenes. Cy Laurie was just Hugh Laurie with a different name.

A man knocked on my door and asked for my ‘generator centrifuge’. A generator centrifuge was an apparatus about the size of a salad bowl that was installed into my bedside table. Whenever someone charged their phone in the outlet above the table it would spin around like a washing machine and generate dust. Once in a while someone would swing by and empty it.

I was on a cruise with my mom, and during the cruise we were going to stop in a small town in west England, where another cruise ship would be at the same time. We decided to book a cruise on that other ship, so we could just move to the other ship and continue our vacation. Because of this, we had to spend two days in that small town, waiting for the other ship to start the journey. The town was so small it only had one store, which was also the only thing to do in the area. I went to the store every day, just out of boredom. I specifically remember it having these really bright white lamps as well as a pretty large non-food section.

I was with my friend, I don't know exactly where or why we were there, but we were sleeping in the same room, and we could see the night sky through a window or the ceiling. He told me that he had really sensitive shoulders, and could discern which finger a touch came from if it touched his shoulder. He said I should test this, so I kept touching his shoulder with different fingers and he kept guessing correctly. It was a constant dialogue of "you feel that?" "yes" and "I felt that one too". At some point I rested my head against him, philtrum against his shoulder, nose and mouth both touching his shirt. He pushed me away, and we both went to sleep. Being pushed away felt like an inevitability, so it didn't upset me too much at the time.

A friend I haven't spoken to in years came to see me. Where he'd been unkind before, he now soothed me, treating me kindly and hugging me. I'd missed him so much I couldn't stop apologizing. He forgave me for everything. I was staying in a house with many other people my age, as well as my mother. My ex was also there, and they avoided me, while simultaneously seeming not to notice me. A fight broke out at some point, and my mother and I, as well as some others, hid in a little nook in a wall, kind of like a diner booth. Someone standing near us threw something at the group of people fighting, and an explosion was heard, followed by screaming. We were safe in the diner booth. I hid my face in someone's chest but I don't know who it was.

I got back from a vacation with my mom, and we were at the train station nearest to our house. We needed to get on the bus to go home, but my mom kept deeming my suitcase to be too heavy, so she kept making me throw some of my stuff away at the train station. Then, she'd check again, and she'd find it too heavy again, and the cycle would repeat. Eventually, my suitcase was empty, and she was satisfied. Another part of the dream (I don't know where they're connected) was that I woke up at 8 PM, and I had to go into work, and my mother was mad at me.

Years ago, I had been to a camp with school for about three months, after which we'd quickly been evacuated from there and we hadn't been back since, not even to pick up all the stuff we left there. The camp building was a massive round building with only one floor, and all the rooms were connected in layers of circles. The first circle was all rooms students stayed in, with windows facing the other rooms as well as outside, and then a layer that was just a hallway connecting them, followed by another layer of rooms. Presumably, the middle of the building had some kind of hall where people could sit and eat or gather, and there was at least one hall connecting all the halls together so the building could actually be maneuvered through.
Now, years after we'd all left schools, everyone was finally returning to the camp to pick up our stuff. My roommate from back then was there, she was a girl named Anna. During the camp, we'd been great friends, and we had fond memories of the place, specifically of sneaking out and going to the nearby town to buy decorations for our room, so it became a lot more home-like. We had plastic plants, curtains, a CD player, and three stacks of books and DVDs we could read and watch. We were there now to pick up our old stuff, but only the most important things because we were supposed to leave as soon as possible. The atmosphere was tense, like we weren't supposed to be there, yet everyone was there as well as some old teachers supervising, so it had to have been planned. We went through the stacks of DVDs and books and took a few, as well as grabbing some old clothes. We then went outside, where a lot of the other students were waiting in front of the building. It was like something terrible was about to happen. It didn't feel safe there, so Anna and I decided to walk into the woods and hide out there.

After work, I biked home and ran into a group of people who were on a tourist bike tour. We were standing under a kind of underpass that was attached to the building next to it, which was an apartment building that was in turn attached to a small mall. Someone had put their old couch under the underpass with a piece of paper on it, where it said that the couch was on sale for 200€, and to buy it you could call a phone number that was also on the piece of paper. I called the number, and a man came from the apartment building. I gave him the 200€ and he left again. After he left I realized I didn't really need a couch nor had any space to put it.
The couch could be dismantled into four smaller pieces, so I would have to go to my house and back five times (because I also had to bring my bicycle back home). The people from the bike tour didn't offer to help me get the couch home, which I thought was rude. A few of them went into the apartment building so they could use the public restrooms or the laundromat. It had a door that led into the mall it was attached to as well.
The inside of the building had a massive room full of stuff that people who lived there no longer needed and was free to take. It was mainly clothing but there was furniture, too. I had taken my shirt off at some point so I needed to find a new one to put on. I eventually settled on a Feyenoord kit shirt that was so massive it came down to my knees and looked more like a dress. It was also entirely dark red. I walked around with it, looking for a changing room, when a girl from the biking tour offered to try it on so I could see how it would look on me. She was way taller and thinner than me so I didn't know how that would help me. I had a kind of flash-forward and realized, to my horror, that it was fated that her boyfriend would cheat on her with me.
Eventually I came home with all the pieces of the couch and started hiding them under my bed (because if my mom knew i bought a 200€ couch she’d be mad). The top piece was covered in Feyenoord blankets and the bottom was covered in towels that smelled like cat pee. I wondered how I could put them through the washing machine without my mom realising those weren’t our towels.
Exhausted, I laid down on my bed. I checked my phone and saw that in one of my recent messages to a friend. I had referred to him as 'a true [my real-life surname]'. He hadn't commented on it, possibly assuming it was a typo, but I quickly changed it regardless. I changed it to 'a true idiot', even though that hadn't been the original meaning of the message. My mom came home and made me look at the laundry room and bathroom, which she had both outfitted with machines that could discern the purity of diamonds. I was still wearing the weird Feyenoord shirt but she didn't even notice.

I accidentally sent a small clay clone of myself onto my neighbors' balcony and they thought it meant they were being stalked or supervised by the government. This happened through a teleportation network celebrities used to invite fans over to their house, which cost 5 cents per trip (it was more of a courtesy thing than actual cost). Whoever I was with didn't give me my return money, so I was stuck in the teleportation hub until a guard there kindly gave me five cents to return home. Before I could use it, I was auto-teleported to my home, the celebrity evidently having remembered to send me home. I had started the paid teleport already, too, and because of that the clay clone ended up in the neighbor's house. I could see through the clone's eyes and move it around a bit, and saw that the neighbors' daughter was terrified of it.
My friend had an office in the hospital I was staying at, and they were working on Rick and Morty merch, the first ever merch line they worked on. I was watching a movie in a small movie theatre inside the hospital. The movie they were showing was about a down-on-his-luck guy who was always sarcastic, narrating his life and how he and his best friend stopped being friends when his friend got into a relationship. The narrator was actually in love with his friend, and it broke him. I was called away mid-movie by the merch making friend. She wanted to buy the rights to my clay clone so she could sell it as part of the Rick and Morty merch line. I agreed, and it was posted all over Instagram. People loved it.
That friend, another girl (named Jasmijn) and I were all on a street now. The two of them were taking vitamin pills that promoted breast growth, and offered me one too. I didn't want to be the third wheel, so I took one as well. A cop came by and saw us taking pills, but didn't seem suspicious of us at all. We went on an evening walk. We were apparently in Russia, and this was an old Russian naval facility. The merch friend was briefly gone, and Jasmijn hugged me and said that whatever happened, we would still be friends.
The naval facility had been turned into a Walt Disney museum back in the 1980s, though it hadn't been visited since because this part of Russia had been completely evacuated. Due to Russian law, museums weren't allowed to exist unless they were equally critical and celebratory of a subject, so for every positive thing about Walt Disney there was something negative. The area had been chosen for a new Disneyland park, but then the evacuation had happened, so they never actually started building it.

My grandma asked me before her death if we could go see ‘those lights’ one more time. She was referring to a large building that had really bright lamps that ad posters would be plastered over, bring a lot of attention to them. this building doesn’t exist in real life, but in my dream it was somewhat near her house. I felt conflicted, and went to a corner store to buy something to eat. They sold prescription glasses there for a low price, meant for poor or homeless people. I felt like I’d failed my grandma by not bringing her to the lights, and now she was too weak to go there.
It flashed back to a few years ago, when my grandma was still healthy. We were walking through a storm, the wind was blowing really hard and it was raining. We held each other’s arms and laughed as we tried to keep ourselves upright despite the wind trying to topple us over. I woke up feeling guilty.

I went to an island with my work where you could do simulated trench warfare in a replica of WW1 belgium. It was mainly used by schools and companies for team building exercises. Old school Runescape did a collaboration with South Park, and people were really mad.

I texted a friend something like "I need you so bad", then immediately started backtracking, saying things like "...is what I WOULD say if I liked you that way!". It was mortifying.

I was working in a factory that produced something (I don't know what) in a team of around 10 people, which included my mom and my friend, Rory. The factory itself and the surrounding buildings were very typically brutalist or 'Soviet'. We wore these thick dark-brown aprons over our regular clothes as our uniform.
I was one of the newer team members, and I was rooting around the locker we shared with our entire team when I came across a bag of old leather jackets that had once been custom-made for the team members. Most of the team (around six or seven people) had been there so they gleefully tried on their old jackets. The rest of the jackets belonging to the ex-members were distributed along us new members. I tried one on and it fit perfectly, though the people in the team told me I still needed to lose 'about 20 pounds' until it would look good on me.
My friend wanted to do some kind of social media dancing video to Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go'. He was trying to get people to join him but the only people willing to help him out were two neighbors of his and me. The video was supposed to be a kind of staged flash mob.

I was on a 'Cruise Train' which was an all-inclusive cruise ship-like experience on a train that would just drive around in circles in the countryside, occasionally stopping in several small towns. People loved this train, to the point that when it drove past a construction site, all the digging machines would be angled so as to resemble them bowing to the train in respect.
The train had several floors and had a museum, a food hall and other things. The bathrooms had windows in the doors, and when you sat down on the toilet the toilet and the floor around it would move a few feet downwards, out of sight of the window so nobody could look in. It was never explained why they didn't just put in doors without windows in the first place.
During dinner, I ate with my mom and her husband. The food served was all really basic stuff, such as plain rice and boiled potatoes. My mom's husband noted there were macarons. As we ate, my mom's husband suddenly started complaining of a bad smell, swearing loudly and asking us if we smelled it. We didn't know what he was talking about. At some point in the dream, I cosplayed a One Piece character, but I don't know exactly when or why that happened, nor do I know anything about One Piece.

I went to a ballet class retreat around an hour away from where I live. While there I encountered an online friend who I haven't really spoken to in about a year in real life. The retreat was at a kind of 'mock city' where you got an assigned role (working at a store, normal civilian, troublemaker, cop, etc) and you had to follow the guidelines of your role while moving around the mock city and exploring. It was all indoors.
My friend was chosen to play a 'hooligan' so he pretended to be drunk and trashed a store. Later, we sat outside and talked about stuff. He saw the cuts on my thighs and asked 'oh, so you're cutting horizontally and vertically now, huh?' but he seemed really uninterested, almost like he was just mocking me.
Later, I was called to go back home, and my friend handed me a bunch of clean laundry that I was supposed to bring home. They were my clothes, and I had no idea how he'd gotten them.

This was the plot to a movie that existed. A single middle-aged woman (who I think worked as a scientist or something similar) was in her house when a man approached her. The man was an alien disguised as a human being, and his intention was to gain knowledge about humanity and sell the knowledge off to other species of aliens. Since the woman was a scientist she had a lot of knowledge he could use. The woman went into her house and locked it, showing she had a lot of advanced mechanisms in her house to keep out trespassers. The man pleaded with her through a window but she didn't budge. The man accidentally saw a few pictures through the window, including one of the woman's adult son (who she clearly loved) and one of her and her dog, a golden retriever.
There was a timeskip, and after that it showed that the woman had since passed away. Due to seeing the pictures, the alien man had decided he no longer wanted to sell human secrets and instead he wanted to live among humanity together with another alien, who was a woman. They became close friends with the scientist woman, and when she passed away they took over caring for her dog, who by this time was really old for a dog (10-15 years or something). The aliens decided to take the dog into space with them so it could live its last bit of life having all sorts of cool space adventures. It was implied that since their closest human friend was gone, the alien couple no longer saw a reason to stay on earth.

A woman was paying me a large sum of money to come to her house and stand in her greenhouse wearing a thick winter coat and a latex mask. I would have to stand there for 80 minutes, during which she would send in multiple photographers she hired to take pictures of me in the outfit. The coat was long (think knee-length) and dark, made of a wool-like material, and the mask was coloured similar to my own skintone, modeled after someone else's face. I knew, within the dream, that it wasn't modeled after a specific person, but was rather a 'default' latex human face mask, whatever that entails. I got to the woman's house and she was so excited for the situation she had to look away from me so she wouldn't get overwhelmed. I was about to put on the coat when I was woken up.

The nail salon I apparently frequented was calling me repeatedly to tell me I had left my passport there. I was embarassed about losing my passport so I didn't pick up the phone, eventually blocking their number. I have never gotten my nails done before in my life so I don't know where this came from. The nails were a sort of cloudy see-through tone and had coloured tips that I think were purple.

I read somewhere that Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding had helped write a few X-Men comics in the early 2000s. Looking back on it, I remembered an episode of the Mighty Boosh where they tried to start a band with a few members of the X-Men, who I hadn't recognized while watching the show because I didn't know about the X-Men yet. In the show's plot, they were constantly being attacked by Jean Grey because she didn't want them to start a band. There was also an episode about Dazzler's origin story, where it was revealed that as a child she used to be an anorexic Marilyn Monroe impersonator.

Our local supermarket was used as a location for a conference for local Jewish business owners and media personalities. The store remained open during the conference, though everyone who wanted to do their groceries was questioned at the door by an angry-looking woman, who demanded information such as 'Why are you shopping?' and 'How long will it take?'. Because of this, the atmosphere was uncomfortable, and my mom compared it to a time where there was a shooting and hostage situation in that same supermarket, during which the perpetrators, inexplicably, had also kept the store open for shoppers.
Later during the dream, it was all over the news that two new slurs had officially been released. I don't remember one of them, but the other was 'Down Bottom Sub', which was apparently a really heinous thing to call someone. I was moving to a small rural town and felt conflicted about the new slurs, so I wrote them on a bus stop just as a bus arrived.
In another dream I had, We were having Christmas dinner in the hallway with the outside door open. We were eating a no-bake cake I made. My mom's husband had been in a bad mood for the past few days, and my mom appeased him by showing a video about slavery. (The reason he had been in a bad mood was because slavery was no longer allowed.)
My godmother made a post about me on Reddit, with several of my selfies in it. Luckily, she had embedded them wrong so they weren't actually visible. I felt relieved.

I was somewhere with my grandma and we were buying spiced cookies there that were somewhat similar to gingerbread. After we were done shopping we had to take a type of public transport home. It was a tram, shaped like a swan, and whenever the tram stopped to let passengers in and out, the swan's head would bend down and turn around towards the tram's front door. The driver sat in the swan's head, and by bending down towards the front door people were able to buy tickets from the driver before getting on.
We sat down in the tram and a man there asked me something. I responded with 'yes', even though I hadn't heard what he said. He responded with 'really?' and I said 'no, I didn't hear what you said. What did you say?' He got really angry and chastised me for it for an uncomfortable amount of time. I apologized for offending him.
We got off the tram and ended up on a kind of boulevard area that had been built on the roof of a long apartment building. I'd never realized the boulevard or the tram stop were there so I was suprised. My grandma walked off for a moment and I couldn't find her.I kept calling her name but she was just gone.

I was out having lunch or dinner at a fast food place with two guys I knew (that don't exist in real life). They were in a band together. I was significantly closer with one of them, so at one point we walked outside for a moment to talk in private. This left the other guy alone in the restaurant. When the one guy realized this he freaked out and ran back into the restaurant and I followed him. Apparently, in the short time we'd been gone the other guy ate ten hamburgers and eleven servings of french fries. We were talking about this when a couple sitting at the table next to us commented that the guy would be fine because he was the band's drummer, so the drumming would help him burn the calories off quickly.

the subreddit r/villains existed. it was a subreddit where you posted about people being slightly rude to you, comically overreacting to whatever they did.

I was on holiday with my aunt to a place that I think was in the UK somewhere. We were in the city centre of a place and had a flight in a few hours on an airplane that would take us to a cruise ship. Until then we had time to wander around the city centre and eat something or just relax. We walked past a restaurant but my aunt didn't want to stop there so we didn't go there, even though they had ice cream I wanted to try.
We ended up on a square surrounded by some shops and a school. There was a glass tunnel leading into the school, everything was made out of glass there including the floor. There was a guy there throwing a ball around and watching it bounce around the tunnel. He pointed at an airplane that he could see through the tunnel's walls. It was the plane that would take us to the cruise ship later, an around 50-seater with propellers above the wings and a white body with orange detail. The guy said that the plane was the 'smallest, most reliable plane in existence'.

I was in Amsterdam, the Netherlands with a girl who had apparently been my classmate in the past. We were at the train station when a massive warship (a cruiser) with a mounted gun near the front started moving towards the inner city through a nearby canal. The gun swivelled around erratically, pointing straight at locations where lots of people were gathered, such as the train station and nearby stores and restaurants. The girl and I went into a department store and bought stuff so we could go to the cash register, which was on the building's roof terrace. From there, we watched as the warship moved away. We wondered why it was there and which country it belonged to.

I got an email that said I won a writing price 'for people with autism' that was sponsored by the lottery. I was so happy I cried a bit. Then, realizing it might be fake, I checked if the email adress was legit. I tapped it on my phone and it came up with a warning that the email address was 'involved with primogems'. This could mean anything from the email address being involved in primogem scams (primogems being a currency in Genshin Impact you can either earn in-game or buy with real money), or if someone had used the email address to register to the game.

I was playing Payday 3 because a recent update had finally made the game playable offline. The game was much more story-focused now. I distinctly remember a scene (it wasn't a cutscene because I could move around, but there was no combat either) where the character Dragan from the previous Payday game had made me and the other bank robbers a plate of sandwiches and we were all huddled around the plate talking about how good the sandwiches were.
Instead of only having four characters per team, no matter with how many people you played, all the other playable characters would show up in your game as bots. There was another semi-cutscene where a few characters had to hide in body bags to get into some building but two of them misunderstood and showed up in sleeping bags instead. They sat outside the building, which was covered in ice from how cold it was outside, slumped against the wall in their sleeping bags and eating sandwiches.

There were about four or five people I vaguely knew all within my bedroom. We were trying to bake a pie together, but I was doing most of the work. My mom was in the living room telling me the recipe, but I messed up somewhere. The crust dough was perfect, but the filling had an odd fruit-like taste while it was supposed to taste like butterscotch (there was no fruit in it, just sugar and cream, so I was not sure how I did this). I'd gone outside the building to bake the cake in an oven that was standing next to our house (since I was getting claustrophobic with all of the guests in my bedroom). I called my mom on my phone and told her the filling tasted wrong, and she told me that if I just mixed it really well the fruit flavouring would fade.
I sat down on a picnic bench outside and started mixing the pie filling. A woman walked by, and we recognized each other-- she used to be my teacher in elementary school, even though she was only about ten years older than me. She started reminiscing about things I used to say as a kid, that she found funny. Typical 'kid logic' things. She said she used to enjoy having me as her student. She also told me that she was still a teacher, and she was just on her lunch break right now.
We spent so long talking that the pie crust dough had completely shriveled up and dried. On top of that, the pie filling still tasted like fruit. Giving up, I decided to visit my aunt instead, who I hadn't talked to in a while. In the dream, her house was bigger, and had two floors instead of one. She was very neurotic and jumpy. I sat in her computer room upstairs, and she offered me some food. I declined, because I didn't like whatever it was she offered me (I don't remember what it was) and she got very defensive, saying she was still going to eat it whether I liked it or not. I was confused, because I wasn't bothered by that at all, so I didn't know why she was so mad about it.
Eventually I just left to go back home because her jumpiness was making me nervous. On my way home (I was in a neighborhood I didn't recognize, with lots of big buildings and busy roads, and a large hospital) I went into a store to get something to eat because I hadn't eaten all day. A lot of things in the store were sold out, though I eventually found a bacon and cheese sandwich. I'd filled my basket with a bunch of random stuff I didn't need, but I was too nervous to put it back, afraid people would judge me. I woke up with a feeling of despair.

My friend and I were part of some kind of camp or organization that while not full-on cultish, exhibited various signs of being a cult. The organization owned a large building that had a couple of stores in it, as well as being an exit to a massive underground parking garage that was so large that if you drove to the other end and exited there, you would be in another city. I knew this because a colleague of mine (from real life) had once told me that he sometimes drives through the parking garage instead of over the regular roads, because the parking garage was never crowded.
My friend and I went downstairs into the upper level of the parking garage. If you took a sharp right turn you would end up in a tailoring shop that was staffed by about twelve women who were all immigrants from several Asian countries. This shop was owned by the organization, though the people working there weren't members of it, but rather employees. Because my friend and I were part of the organization we were allowed to walk through the shop freely, and we left it through the back door, which opened into a large underground marketplace that only people working in the mall upstairs and members of the organization were allowed to enter.
We walked around the market, looking at what people were selling. A lot of stalls had food, and it was implied that people who worked in the mall usually never left the mall, slept in the shops they worked at, and did all their shopping at this market. We found an unmanned stall that sold knockoff Barbie and Monster High dolls, and my friend kept looking at boxes of dolls. Whenever I looked away and looked back he suddenly wouldn't have a box in his hands anymore and his backpack would be slightly fuller. I assumed he was stealing (obviously) but I didn't have any concrete proof of it, and I also didn't want to call him out on it because I didn't really care if he was stealing, I was just curious. If anything, the thought of him having stolen several things while we were easily visible by other stall owners was kind of exciting to me.
At some point later in the timeline (I don't know when) I was recounting a dream to him where I was his mother and I was asking him if he had stolen the dolls. Within the dream he gave a vague answer and was kind of mocking me. On the wall (in the dream) was a framed picture of his ID card that said his name on it, which I didn't know. The name was 'Vince', and I remember thinking it was weird that his full legal first name was 'Vince' and not 'Vincent'. I asked him (outside of the dream) if he would confess to stealing if his mother asked him about it and he refused to answer me.

I was in Canada, visiting family. I only had two days left there until I had to go back home, so we were doing everything for the last time, such as going to the supermarket. In the supermarket was a man who made comedic bits out of everything he did there. He was a low-level yet respected employee, and did a lot of restocking, though he did it in such a fun way that it would often draw a small crowd. He was played by Dick van Dyke and must've been in his eighties or nineties, though he was surprisingly spry. I watched one of his performances and afterwards had a bit of a conversation with him, which was interrupted by my great-aunt, who warned me not to start a romantic relationship with him, because 'he was born in 1988 and you were born in 2003' (neither of which are true in real life). She thought our age gap was too big.
It shifted a bit to a woman who worked in the butchers' area of the supermarket. She was obviously stressed and overworked, and she looked ill from it. She was rapidly losing weight because she was too stressed to eat, but people didn't really notice because she was a generally quiet person. There had been a woman who was buying meat from the butchers' when she collapsed, and the stressed woman grabbed the ill woman and brought her downstairs into the butchers' area basement, where she proceeded to put the woman on ice like they did with meat that had to be kept fresh. She didn't know how to help the woman, but was doing what she thought was right within her knowledge of keeping things fresh/healthy. Eventually, whenever people got ill in the store, the stressed woman would 'take care of them' in the butchers' basement. It was obvious that she had genuinely good intentions, but just had no idea what she was doing.

My friend posted a picture on tumblr of Wolverine from the 'Patch' Wolverine comics with a caption about how he wished he could steal Wolverine's outfit. I typed up a reply about how I needed Wolverine so badly (sexually I assume), but then I deleted my comment, because I thought my friend would think it was cringeworthy.

My mom and I went to a remembrance event that was about a war that had happened at some point. It was at a landmark, a large theatre-like building that was surrounded by old-fashioned windmills around 500 meters away from the building. There were many veterans at the event that had been protecting this specific area during the war, and were all assigned to different windmills in the circle. During the event, you could walk to the windmills and there would be a few veterans there who would tell the story of how they protected the windmills (mainly by reporting over radio whenever something came close to their windmill, so the army could deploy whatever was necessary) Afterwards everyone at the event went to the theatre in the middle and watched a documentary about the war. I sat next to one of the veterans (they were all about 60-70 years old) and he would correct what the documentary said sometimes because there were some mistakes in it. After the documentary, he and some others went back to the windmill they had been assigned to during the war, and I came along. During the walk there I held his hand. He felt really familiar but I’d never met him before.
The next day, I wanted to see him again. In a way, I kind of had a bit of a crush on him (though more platonic than anything else) because he paid attention to me and was nice to me, which not a lot of people did. I tried to look for him in an old factory that was turned into living quarters for veterans, and I spotted him through a window, but he didn't see me and I didn't know where the door was.

It was my mom's friend's daughter's birthday, and she had for some reason invited me, even though we aren't particularly close. We were going somewhere, and to get there we had to do a lot of walking, first next to a highway and eventually through a kind of swamp-y area, walking over a wooden walkway. It was clearly a bit awkward, because she was there with a bunch of closer friends and I got the feeling nobody there really knew what to do with my presence. We eventually ended up in a store that sold all kinds of things, clothing, but also toys and there was also a food court and lifestyle area.
My mom and another friend of hers were there, looking for a pantsuit for that friend because she was trying to get a better-paying job. She managed to find a plus-size, deep dark blue suede jacket and skirt combination that was apparently just what she was looking for. I went to the toy area to look at the dolls, and there was a large wall with only funko pops. For some reason, one of the funko pops looked frightening to me, to the point I was terrified and trying not to cry. I ran away, but everything around me was suddenly scary to me. Within the dream, it was clear to me that I was having some kind of autism-related meltdown.
I eventually found my mom and we went to look at the toys together, and this time I wasn't scared because she was there with me. They had some old interactive displays I remembered from when I was a child, where a large ball-shaped screen would show a short clip from an educational TV show. A clerk who worked there said that most kids weren't interested in the display anymore, so they only powered it up upon request.

A new family had moved into my grandma's old house, a mother and her two children. The husband/father was a famous musician who wasn't home often, so she was practically a single mother, and I sometimes watched her kids for her. Often, while I was watching the kids (one was around four or five, the other eight to ten) they would ask to watch music videos from their father's band. It helped them miss him less.
There was some kind of fire or explosion and next thing I knew I was outside the house, being checked for injuries. I'd hurt my legs, and while it wasn't bad enough to go to the hospital, they gave me a temporary wheelchair to use until I was in less pain. My friend was there, and she needed to go to her cooking club, where the members would meet up every week in someone else's house and have a potluck. She had no means to get there, so I let her sit on my lap in the wheelchair while I sped towards her destination. Having arrived there, I was invited to eat at the potluck, and I got out of my wheelchair (with some pain) to grab a muffin. A woman there kept asking me why I had a wheelchair if I could clearly walk. The muffin was churro-flavoured.

I was on a day trip to an island, and I was there with my grandma. The island mainly had houses, and very few things to do, no park or museum or anything. My grandma was cold, and I offered to trade shirts with her, as I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and she had short sleeves. She declined, and said she would grin and bear it.
We walked past a Chinese supermarket and went in. My grandma looked at the spices while I wandered around the store, and found that they had a slushy machine that sold a bunch of strange, non-characteristic flavours. There was a vanilla-caramel one, a cookie dough one, and so on. They sold big promotional cups that were really long and thin, about 40 or 50 cm tall.

I met my ex-friend in a park and he was distraught at seeing me. I did everything I could to get him to forgive me, pleading with him to please give me another chance. He did. He came home with me and stayed in my bedroom with me while we talked about things we had done since we last saw each other. He was successful and creative, and we got along easier than we ever did before. He forgave me. We had a sleepover.

I was in a house that I was supposed to defend from a group of people, who weren't specifically bad guys, just drawn to this house for some reason. It went well at first, But after a while there were just too many people, and I hid inside a walk-in closet with a window in it. The people were already in the house, and I heard them outside the closet door, talking about how they couldn't find me. When I didn't see anyone outside for a bit, I climbed out of the window and fell two stories down into the grass. Staying low, I ran away, hiding in tall grass and behind trees. I was only wearing underwear, a sweater and boots, and it was cold out.
I must've walked all night, because it was morning and I arrived in a large city. I knew that there were boats somewhere there that could take me to another country, but I had to get to the other side of the city first. I went through alleys as much as I could, and when I had to go through busy streets I'd hide behind cars so people on the road wouldn't spot me. Eventually, I came to a bridge where the walkway was a few meters above the car road, so I could finally sit and relax for a moment. I was super tired. A boy was sitting there, doodling in a sketchbook. I vaguely recognized him, but he didn't know who I was.
