I was in what amounts to Death Becomes Her fanfic in my dream this time. I was some failed author (apparently my failure was the fact that my book was sold in select displays at airports which that sounds successful to me but what do I know). And I had an enemy who was vaguely successful.

We were meeting at a hotel for some thing that involved both of us, I think it was some kinda class reunion. So we're like 70, the both of us in this dream and we meet, we're catty, and I hatch a plan. Cuz there's only one way to end a bitter lesbian feud (we were both gay). So I went to a stylist to get cute but then my dream wanted to change plots entirely and I spent a long while fighting to get back to my nemesis to have GODDAMN TWILIGHT TRYST WITH MY GODDAMN ENEMY TO END THE FEUD but nooo. I can't recall how it ended but I was trying to sneak up in a nice outfit meant to be a disguise and impress her then reveal who I really was. We were gonna get drinks at the hotel bar and end this bitter rivalry. But nooo. My subconscious wanted to do something else.

This is like that one time I dreamt I met this really beautiful woman with my husband and later I texted her to see if she wanted to hang out just the two of us (I had a huge crush on her) and my dream forced a change. I was halfway to meet with her and these kids jumped out like HELP US FIND THIS BULLSHIT YOU DONT GAF ABOUT.

Also sometimes I play other people in my dreams, like an rpg character select screen.

I remember fragments of this dream. I was there with my husband, a series of I shit you not bloods and crips. One guy from each gang was in this group with us and this girl, two guys and a third extra man who was like our leader? He was in charge of paperwork for stuff we did and was like a liaison between us and authorities (mostly university authorities cuz we were doing stuff on a college campus). He was very much the tired dad of the group. So I was the driver and I was driving all sorts of fucked up. I'm talking shortcuts through gazebos and grass and weird backstreets. At one point my husband noticed someone ahead of us going way too fast and I got out of the way a bit more down the road where I could easily turn off. That dude ROCKETED past us it was ridiculous. So two guys in the group had a sorta rivalry? One was better at stuff than the other and the other was one of those "I'm the best even tho I'm not and I will make a stink about it" type. Fragments I remember are driving to a store and being behind. Girl I thought was on her phone but really she stopped her car in front of the exit to the store and fell out. I was like oh no and got out to help her and she was crying cuz?? Her boyfriend?? I think cheated?? But she was so quiet and there was something about cancer but when I told her I was kinda deaf she was like deafness means you can't hear at all tho and I was trying to be like actually it's kind of a spectrum I can hear out of one but the other-- and she took off. Ok whatever. Then there was a video of a girl leaving a sex test (idk don't ask me) in a sink like this is House of Gold by Drewdanisluvv on wattpad. Then we helped a little girl?? And it was due to the first guy and Other Guy was like noo who really deserved the praise and recognition and the dad of the group was like Istg don't make me do more paperwork. Also the guy he hated was good at hair. And made this little girl's hair look like a lampshade. Then my alarm went off also the crips and bloods guys got some stew from my husband and they both said "sure I'll adopt you" and apparently that meant they'd eat some. Tho the bloods guy did have to pass after all cuz he didn't want the gang to see him with the stew.

My childhood friend was around and I was happy and we were in Washington but she was spikey then I was like do you wanna go to Rainier with me? And she perked up like yeah. Then there was this weird staircase that was rotted and she started to fall when it broke and I tried to catch her.

So over the last while I dreamt:

Saw my old childhood friend on a dock, it was night on the beach and the moon was out over the ocean. I wanted to stay with her longer but we couldn't stay together long.

Dreamt my husband and I had a baby? And it grew REALLY fast like Renesme Cullen fast. Was a cute lil blonde baby and I think a boy.

I dream sometimes my car's driver seat gets stuck in the further position from the steering wheel so that's fun. Also sometimes I dream I'm sitting in the backseat of my car drinking a beer?? Which granted it something I wanted to do as a novelty thing when I was in Mississippi at a hotel cuz you legally can.

The night my aunt drove herself to the hospital cuz she was going into heart failure (woman's intuition,man, JFC) I dreamt some dark shadow took up the corner of my bedroom and told me "they're here". Woke me up with such a chilling coldness, despite it being July in the south. Like I had goosebumps and my hair was on end and I shivered like I was freezing. I woke my husband for comfort. Coincides with my brother having a nightmare that night of falling and waking up screaming and my mom having a horrible dream too. Also coincidences with my aunt seeing people in the hospital room with us when it was just us, also coincidences with my grandma seeing people too when she was in hospice. Creepy. Makes me wonder if I'll see the people when/if I have brushes with death or when I pass.

It was my mom's half sister on her mom's side, so it's something weird with my grandma's line. Mostly due to the fact that the other kids my grandpa had with other women passed on with no spooky experiences to show for it. I feel like something similar happened when my uncle on my father's side died but that side either doesn't get these weird premonitions or don't talk about it. I guess it wouldn't be proper of then or whatever tf for stuffy middle class wannabe Kardashians. Acting like their Liz Claiborne is fucking Gucci like it should make the trailer park side of my family self conscious GTFOH.

A week ago I dreamt I was in my mom's dining room talking to her and it was night time and through the window in the room I saw a bunch of streaks of light crashing down from the sky and was like HOLY SHIT!

[dream-underscore-journal]

I dreamt my husband and I bought this vampire mirror that haunted my brothers and we had to use a golden and glass knife to kill it???

Also dreamt I took a figurine out of my pore that istg I had a dream of putting in there in in 2015 it even said 2015 on the bottom of the figurine.

I dreamt I was both writing and experiencing this plot where I was part of this rich family that made its money decades ago for making these dolls with extremely soft hair. But nobody knew where the hair came from and it was a coy family secret only the guys kept??? I went on this adventure to find out and it left me in the middle of a weird political scheme where some people tried to kill me in a warehouse and my dream father (just some old guy idk) and my brother (also just some random man about my age, not even my irl brother) saved me with the family helicopter. And through the story my brother had become increasingly erratic but ultimately a good guy?? And my dad was this vaguely not a Good Guy but not a Bad Guy person?? So I ask them where we're going and they say since I'm in danger we're leaving the country for a while and going to Africa, where the secret soft hair comes from. And apparently it's super illegal where we get the hair and I can either keep the secret or die I guess??? Anyway wanna know where the secret hair came from?

Critically endangered long haired monkeys (by the way the type of monkey in my dream isn't even native to Africa it's Native to SOUTH AMERICA BUT OKAY BRAIN dream me even googled it and even Dream Google was like no they don't have those monkeys there but I wrestled with my phone I'm the dream to find a country in Africa that did)

And I think the implication was that my stupid dream family killed these monkeys? and Awake Me was like "wouldn't you just shave them? What's the big deal? It could even have a conservation spin like 'buy this doll and some of the proceeds go to saving these monkeys'. " But idk.

I had just woken up and noticed I had another hour to sleep so I threw my blanket over my head and started to drift a little. I was sitting on a bus seat and this horned, tall thing say next to me. It was all black, no features just like a cut out of black construction paper almost. I was sitting there in the dream thinking about my book (it's about internalized misogyny and how being not like other girls is like blood in the water for some abusive men) and the entity leaned over to me and said, "both of them are prey."

You know what, shadow horn guy, you're totally correct. Actually.

Then I had a brain zap it was weird.

[dream-underscore-journal]

Dreamt my husband and I were in the middle of moving or some other inconvenient thing that was getting us frustrated. So we decided to go the world's most frustrating diner. My husband was telling me we should do the 2for2 which I guess was a two people thing? He listed all the stuff there was to choose from for this and I was like "ok I'll do grits and bacon that sounds good."

"no, you can't, that's not a valid combo apparently"

"... Ok how about waffle and grit???"

"nope. Not a valid combo."

".......... Waffles and pancakes?????"

"no"

"WELL THEN WHAT CAN I ORDER?!"

[dream-underscore-journal]

I dreamt this guy at the bagel shop I went to regularly when I lived in Washington State kept being like "Seattle women are like the city itself." He looks right at me from the guy he's talking to with a knowing look and vividly blue eyes to continue, "cold and stormy on the outside but oh so warm inside" and idk I had that like two or three times, got mad and said I GET IT, DREAMS, YOU CAN CHILL and never had it again

[dream-underscore-journal]

I dreamt I was buying a car so my husband and I drove out in the middle of Texas to this ranch (which I don't even know why, but it was super pretty) and come to find out the seller was that streamer Sweet Antia?? I don't even know if she lives in Texas idk why my brain conjured that. Anywho, idk if she's married but my dream assigned her a husband and when I mentioned I wasn't expecting to be buying a car from literally Sweet Anita her husband got really suspicious of us. He was like "I thought you knew these people!"

Then he asked us a bunch of trick questions to test us and had us call someone for him as a reference to swear to him that we weren't bees? Idk. He thought we could be bees. My husband called one of our friends to vouch for us. I don't think we ended up buying the car.

I also dreamt it took like 4 hours to drive to the desert. In reality, where I live, that would take almost a week. I was gonna be on a scripted game show with my old childhood friend. They wanted to use this angle and then I got sent out of the show first cuz my character'a baby got stolen by desperadoes. It was a western themed game show.

I dreamt I was at the world's shittiest hotel in this one really shitty city I used to live in. The door was a standard home door, just a door handle lock and one of those locks that didn't really fit in the little hole it goes into. Idk the technical words. Anyway. Later I asked my husband if we could go somewhere else cuz I hated our room and we did then I found my TikTok got hacked by some transmasc (dunno why my brain needed to include that fact) kid using one of those ai voices being like "I'm YazYaz the (unintelligible) and this is the only way I could reach you" but then my husband woke me irl before YazYaz could tell me wtf they wanted.

YazYaz also made their own animation for the TikTok they posted on my account. It was a purple-gray skinned alien guy with big eyes and pointed ears riding Shenron???

[dream-underscore-journal]

I was at a table with some people and one of them was like a guide?? And sat us down And before the table seating thing we all watched a tree fall, pause middle of the fall, and then break in half, splintering into pieces. And I can't recall a word of what anyone at the table said but it got to a point where the room changed a bunch. At the end the walls went entirely white and everything was white and then everything was black like nothingness, there weren't any walls at all. The creepy part is all I remember is one person asking the guide, "but will anyone know what we talked about here? I don't want anyone to know any of what I said." And the guide said, "don't worry, everything we've talked about stays in the space."

Also everyone's eyes in the nothing space, including mine I assume, for really wide? Like the pic I drew but looking more tired/relaxed maybe a lil frightened than scary (I'm just bad at art).

Later the guide brought us back to the original room, as we were all leaving I asked them where they took us and they explained basically brought us to nothingness, I said "like primordial darkness?" And they said "just like that". So. There's that dream.

Would love feedback if anyone has fun lil things, idk it freaked me out. I was scared and still am but not like in a "I'm gonna GET GOT" way but in a "wow ok that was something weird that happened" way.

I dreamt of my cats sitting outside in the sun taking some little naps. That was nice. Then i guess I worked at some store and a fucking black bear and a brown bear came in and we all had to run into offices and lock the doors and just wait it out. Someone decided to be brave and open the doors wide open so they could leave.

[dream-underscore-journal]

Someone was doing math on a bunch of papers taped up on walls.

There was this spirit lady ppl were talking about and idk why but I decided to cast a little circle and call on a god (can't remember who it was, just that she was an Egyptian deity maybe hathor but I feel like the name started with an m or n). It got super exciting like when a god shows up in your circle and the spirit came in too and made the candle I lit for her all dim, made the flame tall then put it out. So that was neat.

Yesterday I dreamt I made friends with a dying middle aged woman and she left the house she lived in to me when she died. Then I found out the people in town hated me so much they chased and cornered me in the house. A neighbor apparently came to my rescue with his wife being like omg they shouldn't do that.

Tonight I dreamt there was someone in my living room asking what my main things were, like I think I was asking what I should do in life, and I told them I write and play video games and sometimes I read. Don't remember what happened after that.

Next dream was me driving and I sucked ass. Even tho everyone who's been in a car with me has been utterly comfortable, and most compliment me when I get us out of a hairy situation behind the wheel. Like if someone's busting through a light I've gotten us out of there cuz I'm hyper vigilant and I see EVERYTHING nothing is a surprise. Anyway I'm a good driver and I'm stroking my driver dick. So I was like speeding in the rain, one of my least favorite times to drive in general despite living in the PNW before, stopping with the shittiest brakes ever, etc.

[dream-underscore-journal]

I dreamt I cut all my hair off which like dude yes pls I hate this hair getting in my way. I get cute bobs and all but that STILL gets in my face and pisses me off. So I'd love a pixie cut.

[dream-underscore-journal]

Ok I had a long dream. I slept all day cuz I got vertigo and the only way to make it stop oftentimes is going back to sleep. Anyway so it started with me and my husband going to visit my childhood bestie and her husband at their house. They had a nice two story and she was driving us. She pointed out a tornado in the distance but it was moving so we were like ummm it's prolly ok but let's get to the house quickly. So we get there and we're hanging out in the couch talking when the tornado starts getting close and we shuffle downstairs. At first me and her husband hide in a weird little corner bathroom and we're trying to convince my husband and her to come to us but my husband was too scared and my old bestie (gonna call her Autumn for the sake of brevity) wanted to stay out with her dog in her arms.

So the tornado hits and we get flung into like different places. Autumn and I got thrown into the same place. It was like an alternate world where her parents were rich dickheads who lived in some weird fancy house that was in a strip mall?? Like a nice one, if anyones been in a rich suburb think their strip malls. It was like we my brain needs a quick way to change plots. So I was staying over and she and her mom had this weird hair thing? So the best way to describe it is like these earrings I own that are pretty long and dangly with sharp pendulum-like ends. But that was the strands of their hair? And the mom kept complaining about it and ig autumn and I shared a bed and cuddled and I kept accidentally poking them into her skin. When I asked the mom about the hair she was super vague about where they came from, getting a thousand yard stare. Then me and autumn went to the window to see some guy being mean to a dog. We called the cops and went down to watch when the cops caught him and then the two of us flew out of there. Cuz ig human flight was possible. We flew around some mountains and an ice world like in a video game that would build itself if you stood on top of some incomplete spots. We got caught up in a story about this lady doing good stuff around town, like she was apparently there chasing down the dog abuser guy. And then the dog abuser guy came back and argued with her on the street. Something something I accidentally scratched autumns mom's car like a teeny tiny scratch but she got pissed off and I threw down my purse and was like "do something to my Kate Spade (which I don't actually own and also that purse was in NO WAY a Kate Spade design-wise) to make up for it" and she shot it with a lampoon??? And really honestly missed she just got the tip of the lampoon in the zipper. But whatever she was like " I can't just destroy anything cuz comparing that purse with my car is implying we're an Old Navy family!! " And I was like " no no I wasn't saying that at all"

Fuckin rich people I'm glad I don't live near them anymore so anyway

I don't remember much now since I woke up but we flew around watching that main character lady, autumns parents were being rich dickheads, and then I broke off to see what would happen next. I went up a spoiler mountain only to find the main character lady was actually evil the whole time, pretending to be good to fool her new found friends a d would throw them off the cliffs and I was like this ending sucks I'm fuckin leaving. Then I flew to that ice world. Cuz I really hated that I remember thinking to myself "stupid Hollywood and having to have these stupid fucking twists that don't make any sense"
