Ok, so there's this independent movie from 2024 (I think) called "Upon Waking" about two lesbians on a not so good first date. They get carbonmonoxided into a coma and their souls are trapped in the apartment, forced to spend time together and learn from one another.

I watched this movie during the 14. LGBT film festival in Poland and I'm so frustrated that there is literally noone talking about it. It got lesbians, catradora vibes, "and there was only one aprtment" fanfic energy and I'm like the only person on this hellsite who saw it!

Please tell me I'm not goncharoving it...

The sky, unlike the sea, never holds on to the people that pass through it. The sky contains nothing of our spirit, it doesn't care. Always shifting, altering its aspect from one moment to the next, it can't be defined.

Jhumpa Lahiri, Whereabouts

in my dream I am sleeping beside you and things progress as dreams do, with total acceptance of the situation and no questions asked but this Is vivid enough for the bed covers to feel like they're a body pressed up against mine

in my dream I am half asleep and turn over but my hand touches your warmer softer hand and I have never touched your bare skin before so I almost wake up because it excites me but you seem to have picked up some signal from me and for once since the time we've been acquainted you take initiative

in my dream I feel you moving under the covers then the shocking hot to cool feeling of a tongue leaving its moisture as it glides along my hand and my thumb instinctively traces the outline of your lips

in my dream you emerge from inside the cocoon of cloth and there's a tussle of puzzle pieces until we're facing one another tasting exhaled ozone and then my mouth is on your neck my lips rising up to your ear and I breathe in this sweetness of summer and sunshine and salt with a musty cooped up winter weariness that's been packed up underneath all the layers you bundle your nakedness in. I look at your soft hairless skin and watch my hands move across and over your back and shoulders

in my dream I keep trying to move closer; position myself to feel you inside me and you ask me what I'm doing and it feels so abrupt maybe almost chastising as if you're repulsed and my eyes go wide my female vanity wounded, perhaps you didn't mean-and I assumed-and I'm bad?

in my dream I feel my heart plummet like a piano falling several stories from a snapped cord; all the keys smashing, jarred in discord and then silent but my fingers stubbornly rise past your neck into your hair as I crush your lips with mine in an effort to translate or beseech what cannot ever be said aloud with blood rushing and this tangled urgency I think stupidly... this must be what animals feel like in the Spring...so badly I want you I want you as I'm clawing at your thighs panting into your mouth and that's why this is a dream and I am going to wake up right now

A home without a kitchen would not even be a house to me; rather akin to a cell—a sleeper cell.

(I dreamt that homemade was banned—across the board)

Surely their courage wasn't an inheritance but a decision.

I think it gets better when you realize your inner and outer worlds • aren't that different • the blend of your waking and sleeping lives • your internal world becoming your external • you create your exterior world when you realize your inner one • will find keys in your mind to expose to your outer world • you lay hands on the foundations of your dream
