Anyways today i dreamed that i was playing what was supposed to be The Stanley Parable but it definitely wasn't. It was set in a horrible unethical company at least

I was kicking a small ball through the hallways. There were red lines in strange patterns on the floor, they were lasers. I wasn't supposed to be there

There was a small museum that told the story of a group that acted against the company's wishes, the lasers came on and they all died at the same time. But it was implied that in the game I was playing the lasers were only a detection system, and if I touched one I had time to hide

I was supposed to go somewhere specific, but I found a different room and got distracted. It was like a storage room that wasn't actually needed, because it was mostly empty, and it had an elevator. I called the elevator and panicked because I would get seen by whoever is inside, but they just walked past. They were a normal employee, after all, they didn't know what I was doing

I went inside and pressed the button for floor 9. Then I realized that I was already in floor 9, but when I looked to change the destination the button I pressed said floor 6

The elevator was huge, like a whole room, and completely empty. It had wooden floorboards and corporate blue walls. I was walking around when the elevator stopped, and there were three men at the door who looked horrified to see me

I guess I got so uncomfortable that I willed the dream into changing or something, because there was a cut and now I was talking with three completely different men, and also the elevator was furnished like a normal room

I dreamed that I took V8 outside and pet him while my neighbor's cat Miki was present so V8 would learn that I'm not abandoning him just because there's another cat outside

And then I went into my neighbor's house and it looked almost exactly like mine, and I pointed it out because woah, I wasn't expecting that, and my mom got really offended on my neighbor's behalf and said that I can't say something like that! And I asked why because?? The houses looked the same. The furniture was the same. It's an objective fact. But she acted like it was the worst thing you could say about someone's house and I couldn't figure out why

I dreamed that my mom invited her sister over to show her my old nail polish, and my aunt's dog was running around and it wanted me to follow it so I went upstairs. And at some point the dog became my cousin (from a different side of the family), and The Mangle was playing in the background, and my cousin had animatics in his head to it so we acted those out. And for the animatic my house (which never looked even remotely like my actual house) became the pizzeria

I dreamed that my family was driving to the hospital for something minor and on the way there we saw a burning building in the distance. There was a bit of smoke and something inside exploded and the building caught on fire. Because the fire was new I was worried that nobody called the firefighters yet, but I didn't know the address of the building so I couldn't do it myself. I ran around the hospital to see if anyone did anything, there were a bunch of people looking out the window trying to see the fire but it wasn't visible from the hospital. Idk where my family went, I was busy. And then someone close to me started to leave and I noticed that the building was at an angle now and it was collapsing.

I got out, all the evacuees were literally right next to the hospital. At least they were on the side that wasn't going to fall on top of them. There were still people inside, including my dad who had gone through a nether portal at some point, and a firefighter appointed me and two other random people to go save them. We ran inside, there were conveniently three hallways, I went straight. There was a staircase that lead to a small room with mint green walls, and there were a bunch of small beds and pillows hung to dry but no people. Except that the pillows were people, and they were turned into pillows to slow down a disease or something like that. Kinda like a medically induced coma but weird

I picked up around 4 pillows and I heard an alarm so I panicked and ran back out even though there were still pillows left. Outside I saw that all my family already made it out and a firefighter told me that it's safe for me to go back in and get the rest. Unsure why it was my job. I went back in and heard a siren again and it scared me badly so I woke up. And irl there were cars racing and making a lot of noise and that's what the alarms in my dream were

I dreamed that I had to go clothes shopping but I never found the time to do it. My family went to a fair and I laid down on a bench, but there were some very territorial birds around so I left when they showed up. The fair had a sandbox but it was full of pebbles and the texture was awful. My brother and I convinced my dad to buy us ice cream, which we started eating before even paying for it because it was really hot that day. Somewhere along the line, I went through a door, and now the dream was something else.

The Life Series cast was trapped in some sort of mansion. There was a mural with 'broken hearts', which were silhouettes of people who had been wronged, and when the corresponding person touched them they cracked and revealed the shape of a heart. Every person had to go inside their own silhouette, I think? But Pearl was very upset and didn't want to look at it. She went into another room, but there was a painting of herself, and mannequins that screamed at the top of their lungs when you looked at them, and Pearl ended up breaking everything in the room

It was very loud because of the screaming mannequins, and apparently this was a TV show or YouTube video, so I asked my family to turn down the volume.

When the episode ended, one of the recommendations videos was the newest episode of a series I used to watch (doesn't exist irl). It was a little one-person project that started silly and immediately spiraled into heartbreaking angst, as those tend to do.

It was set in the same building. The main characters couldn't get out, unclear why. The outside might not have been real at all, it might have been some sort of mirror world. I was one of the characters, idk if I was the main one tho. Also I was at least on the second floor of the building

I was looking out the window and saw a friend of mine outside. Something felt very wrong about it. My friend was trapped with me, they couldn't get out. They approached the door (which was directly under my window) and went in, but nothing happened where I was. I didn't hear anything. My friend joined me in looking through the window, at the same time as the copy went back out of the building, now followed by a copy of myself and a third member of our group.

We panicked and hid, just in case they could see us. We were in danger. The third friend said that salt damages them, so he brought salt and started throwing it out the window in hopes of hitting them. The copies noticed and started climbing, but they didn't know we were there.

We put salt on the windowsill and ducked under it so they wouldn't see us push it at them, but one of them saw one of our hands and immediately recognized what we were

They tried to take one our friends trapped in the building with us. They tried to erase him and replace him with their version of him. We fought and won, but we'd already been found.

Things were coming in through the windows. They looked like people, but that's not what they were. I got cornered by someone who seemed high ranking, there was a purpose to what they did. They put a gun to my head, but it wouldn't kill me. It would 'reset' me, make me someone else entirely. It wouldn't have been the first time, but this time I was really, really scared. I tried to plea, but they shot anyways, and the screen went black.

...then apparently this was a film, because I immediately went of script because the prop gun had somehow gotten very hot and burned me a little. But I was fine dw. This was for the me who was an actor. The me who was a viewer was so disturbed by the story that I immediately went to listen to the whole soundtrack while rotating it in my head

And then my dad said that we're going clothes shopping! But all the mannequins had signs that said that they were only meant to wear a specific kind of clothing, all the clothes had tags that said they were display only, and even the changing rooms said they're not Actually for changing.

I dreamed that I had a big dog. It went outside to play with another, even bigger dog, in the lake that was right in front of my house. A third dog joined and was swimming around. Then a turtle joined and was swimming even faster. A fourth dog might have joined to race the turtle but I can't remember. The turtle was definitely racing someone, because I was trying to keep up with them to document who won, I think? But I wasn't swimming, I was running on the bridge that went over the lake. There was someone else with me who may or may not have been that one archery twink from YouTube

When we got to the finish line we were furries. The other animals were also furries, and one of them looked like Kris Deltarune if they were a fox

After the race all the furries returned to their normal activities, but the city's central park received a message from aliens that said that human language became unsafe? As in, anyone who spoke any human language was in danger. The animals lamented that they spent generations learning a language that would doom them. I don't actually know what happened when the time ran out, I think all language was wiped out and sentient life had no way to communicate? There was a pair of transformers(?) who had hopes that even if they forgot everything they'd remember each other, so they turned into cars that were attached to the other, because they'd be able to figure out that they're attached because they love each other?

The dream ended there

[solidwater05]

I dreamed that I was playing a fangame about the Minecraft creaking. It had a lineless style 2D style. It was set in the woods of course, but the color scheme was yellow and green instead of grey

The gameplay was simple and not very accurate to how the creaking is supposed to work. You were somewhere in the woods, and there was a creaking also somewhere. If it had line of sight on you you had to double tap the screen to go somewhere else in the woods. It usually followed you for a few scenes until you managed to escape. It was a 'how far can you make it' kinda game

I was playing it because it had a gacha life-esque character creator, even if you never saw your character in the gameplay, and it had some cool looking body horror options I wanted for a gacha design so. yeah

And then. The 'something watching you' aspect of the game became 'this is real life and you're being stalked'. I was part of the audience in a football stadium and someone in front of me was recording me, pretending that they were recording the game. The implication was that they've been stalking me for a while and this was the first time I noticed

As for the game itself... There were people arranged in a grid. They were standing still. For half of the grid, in front of each person was a writhing pile of flesh. The other half was holding white buckets full of meat and throwing it around. I was scared and I felt sick but I couldn't stop watching

[solidwater05]

I dreamed that three of my classmates were about to go skydiving. One of them was terrified, the other two were chill.

First I want to say that I vaguely felt like I was falling for the entire duration of the scene which sucked. Ok with that out of the way: at first the parachutes didn't work. They opened just fine but they did nothing to slow them down. They started working before they hit the ground, and two of them made it safely to the ground, but the third one, the one that was scared, got carried away by the wind and nobody knew where to find him.

There was also something about a game. It was like a very elaborate LARP? There were whole structures and actors and everything and the players would dress up in fancy costumes and would be given stuff as the story progressed. Unfortunately I can't remember what that story was
