I keep dreaming about driving through red lights accidentally and then not getting caught.

Im tired of this, I have the recurent dream were we play a new megaman x, the models are a mix of maverick hunter and xdive, and now they announced a DLC called iris x double, its not even a x9 but the gameplay remembers mm11

hey, someone who's gay and can do dream interpretations, what does it mean that I keep having this dream where I'm being forced to take part in a hockey game at the bell centre, even tho I try to tell them that I can't skate or play hockey and I'm not wearing any protective gear, but they still push me onto the ice and I get thirty seconds to realise that hey, I actually can skate! before alex ovechkin slams me into the boards and then I wake up?

MoonJunicorn Fae🌘

Round I: Days 1 through 3

Nocturne the Liver Chestnut Unicorn could feel the power of the eclipse that overlooked the taiga where their stable was built. Filled with determination, Nocturne galloped to the Silver Lake that reflected the celestial phenomenon like a blinking eye.

Round II: Days 4 through 6

Shadow the Fleabitten Grey Unicorn had heard the whispers among the Seelie of the Waning Gibbous who tended his farmland. Whispers about a Banshee having a recurring dream. A dream about music echoing from the heart of a glacier in a temperate forest.

Round III: Days 7 through 9

The city bells rang as a Chocolate Palomino Unicorn dashed through the Veil. Neither tourist nor resident knew what waited on the other side, but the small, brown Steed emerged on the coast of a moonlit dormant volcano. Waiting for them, stood a Selkie, whose sealskin glowed in unison to the Unicorn’s horn.

In the hospital after the first surgery I would have these really beautiful dreams of being underwater surrounded by plants and flowers with sunlight filtering through causing sparkles in my eyes as I walk on the ocean floor; dreams of playing with my friends running down the stairs chasing them giddy with laughter feeling a thrill so intense as I ran, so peculiar, that I would wake up; feeling like the sunlight and stars and flowers, and then; just, not being able to feel my legs.

On repeat.

The brain took some time to catch up with what happened to the body.

I would have preferred nightmares over that. Without a doubt. The paralysis didn't just happen once— It happened again and again and again, and again, still does; less often though.

Maybe memory is all the home you get

Reverb

Echoes of a boy's sobs

Opened my eyes at 2:22am

My arms unfurled to reach

"Where are you?" on my lips

Echoes of a dog's sighs

Answered my ears at 2:23am

My back untwists to stand

"Where am I?" on my tongue

Echoes of a dream's throbs

Replaced mute words at 2:24am

My brain defogs to see

Where I slept in my clothes

Echoes of the child's cries

Reverb with me at 2:25am

My fingers reveal eyes dry

Where I swore in my head

The tears would be mine
