Yes this is an actual dream I had last night, no I will not be taking criticism or comments regarding my brain at this time.
We begin by viewing the person I knew to be myself in third person, except I looked like this
Except when he’s wearing this (I couldn’t find a good pic)
(IDs at end)
So I then enter this dudes head properly and hanging out with a few of my friends and the woman I’m desperately in love with inside a large, old looking hall, within which lots of people are stood around.
Then the doors burst open and in walks this thickset man with curly brown hair and a menacing sneer. Now dream-me knows this person as an enemy, someone who decided they hate me a long time ago and never thought to change their opinion. The crowd parts for him and his two cronies who follow behind, like the three mean girls from your high school. So they walk right up to me and claim that me and my friends have been accused of something (They wont tell me what) and then a massive and confusing trial occurs which I don’t remember much about apart from we got named guilty for a crime we still didn’t really understand and definitely didn’t commit.
Before they cart us off to jail, apparently, they are legally required to allow all gentlemen a last ride on a horse. Me and two of my friends ride down the street, we’re supposed to turn back at the end of the rode, they continue going, but I return because the woman I love and her friend haven’t been given this opportunity to escape. However, unknown to me, my mother has got them away while we were all out riding, and it ends up with me being the only person taking the charges, so I get put into a carriage.
While I’m in the carriage, I fall asleep in the dream and dream within the dream basically the exact same scene except with me in my actual irl body and while I’m on scout camp in modern times. And then in this dream within a dream I get put into a police car and driven off. While we’re driving, I fall asleep in the dream within a dream and end up having a dream within a dream within a dream which details basically the exact same scene happening except to me and the afore-mentioned people’s D&D characters (for reference, apparently Mercy is in love with Flytrap, according to my dreaming dreaming dreaming brain), and except with it ending up being that everyone comes back and takes the charges together as a party rather than ditching me. So then I wake up in the dream within a dream and end up back in the modern au one with the scout camp (this got confusing ik) and I message the afore-mentioned people to explain what happened and the dream I had.
Then I fall asleep again in the dream within a dream and go back to D&D, and dream about Mercy bullying a bunch of people with her Big Stick in prison, and then I wake up again back in the modern AU one, and message the others to explain what I just dreamt then. I “CW bullying” and discord spoiler this message, and the first message I get back is from @erased-in-stone​ saying “I thought you were going to say people were bullying Damon for a sec there” (Which, what? If anything everyone would adopt Damon as their father) and instantly @aelenko​ responded with “Dig would gut anyone who tried to bully Damon” and I replied “Yes and Mercy would whack them all with Big Stick”. So @erased-in-stone​ replied “They’re....going to prison? Weapons not allowed?” So I replied “You think Mercy Storm would allow some puny police officers to take Big Stick from her?? Who do you think she is???”
Then I woke up woke up back in historical au as Mr Knightley, and refused an opportunity to escape because I wanted to prove I was better than the people who accused me. That took a while but I don’t remember much of it... then I actually genuinely woke up in the real world. The end.

[Image 2: A shot of the same person from further back. In this, he’s wearing a long, mustard yellow frock coat, a blue waistcoat, a shirt with a high collar, white trousers, brown ankle boots, and a black top hat.]
