Dream

dreamed I was going to school, like some kind of college, but the school I was going to was for people who had special talents. Mine was that I could handle guns really well, like expertly. I had been born with it. I dreamed I was basically in a firm and I had a crush on a guy who had the same ability as me, but we were both really shy so we didn't know how the other felt about each other. Also, in my dream I was thin again and loved to wear pretty dresses and high heels. There was another guy, one I absolutely hated cause he was such a jerk. He challenged me to a talent show, but Hus talent was far more complex than mine. here is the trick, if he won, he would become engaged to me. I didn't know any way to beat him so like 4 days go by, its the competition, and he beats me. I am in shock, but hes clearly thrilled. I kind of just get used to it. Everyone in my dorm thrilled for me but I start getting really depressed and angry. I'm basically getting ready to mrry this guy and no one has asked my opinion. I go to my room and see that the guy I had a crush on had sent me a gift. It was a sniper rifle, one I didn't own. I start sobbing in my room, but I use the strap to put it on my back anyway. I go to bed, but the next day I've determined to basically go on an adventure to find myself to see if I could handle living with this guy I hate. Everything about him just sets me off. I get on a bus with a friend and it goes around the city I live in. I meet a girl who sits next to us and she has a gorgeous incandescent dress. I'm sitting next to her when the color changes, and though I don't know her, and felt uncomfortable when she sat next to me, I tell her that her dress is a beautiful shade of indigo. She smiles and we start talking. hours later, me and a bunch of girls and the girl with the dress are all talking and we are discussing her dress. She says its purposefully incandescent so that everyone can see her dress in different colors. Eventually I go home, and the not nice guy I'm supposed to marry is there. he decides we should go to a concert together but its music I don't like, and I get mad at him. He makes me go anyway. We get there and there's a nice girl who obviously likes him, and they're getting along great. He asks me a question and I just grumble at him an he grumbes back at me. Suddenly we're are back in our dorm and my cousin is visiting (a cousin I've always had a crush on), and he tells me conradulation, and asks me how I'm doing. I tell him I'm doing great and I plaster a smile on my face even though, at thus point, I'm feeling miserable. The guy I'm supposed to marry barely knows me and he's a complete jeAt any rate, some how at the end the guy I'm supposed to marry let's me call off the wedding. I'm over the moon, and I go talk to the guy I have a crush on. We get along really great. Then I wake up.

Dream

I am back at that same San Fran/Broadway hybrid location Something about Marylin Monroe aka Norma Jean Red curtains, marble tiled hotel room, luxurious Pearls, fur stoles/coats, secreet dealings with a gentleman, I think I’m let in on one of the sets of a movie that she was in; the “Seven Years Itch”? Crossing a hotel corridor(luxurious, but think the one where the twins appeared in the Shining) and the lobby Now I’m getting on a man-sized rollerslide/course in a middle of some opening in a woods, like a camp site and their large playgrounds Chatting with Aya, one of the friend I had in middle school(we bonded(sort of) over the shared history in bullying) while we get carried on the hip board thingy on the “monorail” and get to the destination The landing point being a hotel garden(it looks a bit like the one I slept at in Kobe; Grand Hotel Otani?) It looks like it’s being built on a hill, slightly looks like it’s modified iut of a golf course(probably because of the partial lawns) The rail spiraling downward, using parachutes to land and also measure how far we’ve flew(they measure it, for fun; but also the longest flying gets something or whatever, a medal or a snack) Aya and I just decide to fool around and also hack the game by never really ‘landing(touching feet)’ on the ground; we spiral down on the parachute from early on compared to the other sliders and float to the momiji tree in the center of the spiral, me hang onto the trunk and Aya resting atop a boulder hugged by the roots Straddling onto the tree trunk I do a little imitation of pole dancing and do a lifted figurehead move(legs lifted, hugging the tree backwards while the body come front to the viewer) We giggle and such about our tomfoolery, sure that the judges judging our ‘touchdown’ would be baffled or amazed at our trickiness And then once the lady announces to the remaining railsliders to come on in because there’s soup waiting, we go ahead and glide back on the parachute

Dream

It was my birthday and Salvador and his wife were around, but his wife stayed at a table far away drinking wine by herself. Salvador, Tom and this other person were out sitting at this parklet along a street. I went and joined them and sat by Salvador with Tom across from us. He bent his head really close to me and said to look at his hair. My face was so close to his head and he said, “look, I am balding!” and I saw this very short hair toward the front and it looked like the way Prince Harry’s older brothe rwas aging. I thought Tom thought i was giggling too much at Salvador and he would know how I felt about him. I was afraid to talk to his wife cause I thought she was mad. Then I went adn talked to her and she was enjoying her glass of wine and told me about this movie she had been in. I asked her to join us and she said no, but she wasn’t upset. Me, Tom and Salvador were in this nature setting looking across a big river. There was an old castle in the distance and salvador pointed it out and said it had been flown in from somewhere. Then there was this singing competition along the river and Tom volunteered for it. I forget the rules but I was surprised he wanted to join in.

Dream

A hospital on a low, cloudy mountain that looks like the one me and mom used to frequently pass by on the way to pick up our younger brother from the daycare in Odawara(we were living in Hakone at that time, or at least she was; I visited every weekend from Tokyo where my school and my fatherms place(whom I lived with) was at) Nothing is really clear because of the fog and the clouds, it’s like a mix of a similar facility in Hakone and of that place(Odawara city) Some sort of a competition, basically a flag war between two parties and I’m caught in the middle of it, this whole thing is taking place in the hospital facilities Glass roofed dome-hall with many plants, reception floor/lobby being that Glass everything, very modern, somewhat futuristic even Looks a bit like the university campus of some new business college in the larger Nagoya city region/outskirts Middle of some patch of forests, idek The flag is taken by the party of people who’s protecting me, and they’re now using the whole hospitalf facility as a base to protect against the attack of the invading force Wide parking lot, slope down the hill to the common road, very cloudy All this time I’m inside the building watching from within, and so are my party’s people even as they prepare and arm themselves and the facility because safety Scene changes, now I’m in space I mean like the dark, realistically cold, somewhat empty space with many stars, planets and comets floating and glimmering in the unfathomable distances Flying all the way to near Pluto, Saturn or Neptune(the final destination was Pluto, I don’t quite recall if I actually got near it or not) to retrieve my flip phone that got thrown into it Once I retrieve I go back to the apartment room owned by my mother’s side of grandparents I’m on the tatami, gery nostalgic because this is where my mother would usually take me to whenever she had time(even though she and the family has a very rocky history where basically my mother was the scapegoat and the perpetual ‘daughter/servant’ of the family during her younger years; once the divorce happened and I started living really separated from her, she spiraled into being institutionalized that cold, domineering and controlling attitude of theirs sort of returned) I’m charging the retrived phone, younger brother(around the age of 5 or 6 at this time) is talking The flip phone is brittle, full of scars from all the exposure to the elements out in the deep space The whole place looks like they’re fusing between that room and my current home(my paternal grandmother’s house’s living room) And there’s a sense of urgency and anxiety as I go into the other room with my younger brother, when my mother first comes back from some groceries or outdoors activities she does to give herself some space Father follows suite, they’re probably arguing judging from all the sounds and the tone of speech Father doesn’t seem too well in the mood

Dream

my childhood best friend’s younger brother, steve sang “Crazy for You” with his eyes closed by Adele while sitting next to me in a row of what i think was a school bus. i’m pretty sure we were instructed to sing as a part of some competition for a class but I can’t remember the specifics. also we were all grown up, me 24, him 21. as steve sang the song by Adele, he stitched together the lyrics with his hands, as if he was sewing the melody. I told him that I also move my hands to the beat in a particular pattern as I sing, but I follow it nonlinearly, like a wave. I remember saying how “fascinating” about the fact that he also follows a pattern to the beat with his hands, which he sees in his mind while his eyes are closed as he sings. i was in awe of his voice. it was absolutely gorgeous. I literally had my jaw dropped listening as I had no idea he could sing! I told him that Adele was my favorite singer to sing to and he was like “oh my God I have to hear you I didn’t know you sang!” i responded with a kinda snarky comment for some reason, saying something along the lines of “of course I do! I’m surprised you didn’t know since I always sang as a kid like nonstop, because I had Tourette’s and couldn’t help it lol” and then the lyrics to “don’t you remember” by Adele started to play in the background of my mind, meaning steve couldn’t hear it, but I could, so I told him I would sing that song for him. before I could though, I woke up. also for context, i had a massive crush on steve as a kid but it was unrequited. every once in a while I have a dream about him though I haven’t seen him in about 10 years. i had a dream about him earlier this year on march 24th, 2024 where he showed me his artistic work, which I was surprised he had created, because when we were younger, we didn’t really show each other or are that much. Though I did teach him, my best friend and their youngest brother, as if we were in a classroom a lot when we were younger, like I played the role of teacher, and they were my students.
