—I had a weird dream last night —
It was about me watching YouTube (Markiplier to be exact) and he made this video called “Eating my Christmas tree”
The video started with a POV shot of Mark showing off the tree. There is no commentary, just the camera moving around to show the audience from a few different angles. It was a real wood tree with absolutely NO decorations, NO lights, no nothin’
The room that the tree was in was not decorated for the holidays either… in fact it had no furniture, or windows. There was only an unlit fireplace in the background.
So The video was only showing the small tree in this empty room.
anyway, Markiplier put the camera down and walked into view to stand beside this “Christmas tree”. The tree is about a foot taller than him. There is still no commentary.

At this point in the dream, I’m thinking to myself that this is going to be one of those experimental videos, like his “meow” video, or that time he just admired a banana for ten minutes.
But, no.

Mark just plucks one of the smaller branches off the tree and… well…
It started with a nibble…
Than a tiny nom
Than a bigger nom-nom
And a full on Chomp
The crunch-crunch sounds are quite noisy
It is obvious that he likes the taste of the tree, so he eats more… and more
He rips off one of the lower branches and eats it like corn-on-the-cob. Except it was not corn, and he ate the entire cob.
He shoves the smaller twigs in his mouth, devouring them like Chips and liking the small evergreen needles off his fingers like Cheeto dust
He continues to ravenously consume the tree piece by piece
This continues until the tree is almost bald, with only a couple of green branches left.
And only then, does the tree respond…
The tree is pleased
So while Mark is down on one knee with his head tilted sideways biting the trunk of the tree, trying to chew his way through it, the tree begins to grow a long vine out of its peak. At the end of this vine grows a large fruit that looked like a bushel of grapes that has all fused together into a single lumpy mass.
Mark looks upon the trees gift with reverence in his eyes.

At this point in the dream I’m thinking to myself “since when do evergreen trees have fruit? Or vines? That’s not a pine cone. How unrealistic”
—-
As I watch him open his mouth to eat the fruit, I half expect his jaw to unhinge and swallow it whole. But that doesn’t happen, although he certainly tries to do just that. He only manages to take one large bite, splitting open the flesh of the lumpy fruit causing its purple juice to drip down his chin. He grabs the vine to pull the fruit closer and goes in for another bite and…
The video ends.
—-
Well that was weird…
Anyway, nothing else really happened in that dream, and I woke up not long after.
As someone who doesn’t have dreams very often, or just immediately forgets them within 5 minutes of waking up, I think it’s weird-as-all-heck that I still remember this one well into the afternoon.
Maybe science side of tumblr could explain. lol idk
