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.
16-02-2024
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.
29-02-2024
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.
16-06-2024
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.
21-07-2024
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.
27-07-2024
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.
02-08-2024
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.
21-08-2024
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.
26-08-2024
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.
27-08-2024
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. (I also don't know what the slur meant or who it was targeted towards.)
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 second dream but still in the first one) 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.

They were making a new movie in the Scary Movie franchise where the murderer was, subversively, the story's protagonist. She was a very traditional Christian woman who wore ankle-length skirts and always wore a crucifix. She had blonde hair that she wore in a bun the way old women do in movies. The movie consisted of several short films with simple plots, starring the same cast of characters.
The devil was hunting her down, because her (the devil's, the devil was a woman) objective was to find bad people and bring them down to hell to torture them. The devil took a human form to do this: she was a tall, dark-skinned woman with long braids. She wore skimpy leather clothes with lots of straps and big leather stomping boots. She tried to get to the murderer several times, but the murderer kept warding her off by praying at her or pointing her crucifix at her. An important theme was how the devil was usually portrayed as an evil person, but in this case, she was actually doing something good by trying to stop the murderer. Meanwhile the murderer seemed to be a 'good' person (very Christian and neat, surface-level polite, et cetera) but was actually a vicious killer. It was a commentary on how looks deceive, or something.
One of the shorts was an adaptation of a short story written by Heidi Klum about the horrors of working in the fashion industry. This was notable, because the original story had kind of become a meme online--she originally hadn't meant for the story to be scary, but managed to create a really terrifying vibe. In the story, the murderer was sitting in her seat on an airplane when she saw a letter laying on the floor in front of her. She picked it up and read it, and it was some vague threat about how the devil was going to get her. The devil was sitting in the seat next to her, but she didn't know that because the devil just looked like a regular human woman. Eventually all the seats in the middle of the plane were moved away to make room for a dance floor so the passengers could dance. The murderer danced with a man, and it was really ominous, but nothing actually happened.
Later in the dream I was looking up if anyone shipped the murderer and the devil and apparently tons of people did. There were hundreds of fanarts of the two of them going on cute dates and cuddling and whatnot, despite the fact that they spent most of the movie actively trying to hurt each other. They were mainly popular because the character designs were surprisingly good, especially the devil's.

I was staying at a hotel that my mom used to work at (in the dream only, not real life), so I got friends and family rate and had a really cheap room. Because of this, though, instead of putting me in a normal room, they put me in a strange room that was only accessible through backoffice, so I needed an employee key card to even go to my room. There, there was a hallway with stairs, and the stairs led to the door of my room. The room itself was a normally furnished hotel room with all amenities. The hotel was on the tip of an island, with a small canal at one side and the open water on the other side. It was quite popular for having such nice views, but my room didn't have any windows.
This hotel was famous for something: there was a large hiking trail somewhere near the base of a mountain, and it looked quite similar to the great wall of China. It was always busy there, and people were always on walks, on walking tours where they learned the history of the city, et cetera. At one end of the trail there was a massive flight of stairs and escalators that led up the mountain. Those stairs and escalators were completely indoors, and there were no windows to look out of. Additionally, there were barely any lights, so you would just stand on the escalator (nobody took the stairs) in near-darkness and slowly move upwards in this weird, silent building. Only at the end was a bit where you had to go up a flight of stairs, and that part had big ads hanging on the walls and was brightly lit. At the very top, you walked through a door and into the lobby of the aforementioned hotel. This makes no logical sense of course (that whole mountain thing should've been underwater) but in the dream it somehow made sense.
I did the walk and went back to my hotel room afterwards, but my key didn't work. Down the hallway, I saw a kind of reading corner with a bookcase and a couch, as well as a closet. I opened one of the drawers and it was just solid wood, as in, you couldn't put anything in the drawers, they were just solid blocks of wood. A man who worked at the hotel walked into the hallway and I accidentally scared him because he hadn't expected me to be there.
