What do you last remember dreaming about?
Last night I had a nonsensical dream about a family Christmas bamboozling event... taking place in the summer at a place called the Cider Creek Cabin. Kids and their parents would throw confetti bombs at other families and steal gifts from each other. I managed to swipe an envelope with a lovely card that said, "Sorry, there is no money here. But bring it back to me and I might buy you some clothes or something."
The name was illegible. At least the card had a cute animals on it.
I tried keeping a dreamlog but eventually got bored of it. I've had a couple dreams about speedrunning before.
Dream #1 - This was a long time ago, so the details are very fuzzy. In the dream, I was watching a twitch stream of Couriway playing minecraft. He was doing a Duos run, and he entered the end at around three minutes. He and his partner killed the ender dragon at around five minutes, entered the final portal at 6 minutes, and finished the run at 9 minutes. All of these splits are nonsensical and I remember being confused at the times but not questioning it in the dream.
Dream #2 - I once had a dream that I achieved a time under 20 seconds in Kirby: The Unofficial Fangame. I uploaded the video of the run to YouTube and it got exactly 28 likes. This is actually a dream I had. I hadn't even played kirbo for months when I dreamt it. I have no idea what caused it.
I have recurring dreams about my previous homes from early childhood, formative years, and my grandma's house. My grandma's house is the safest place. As long as I stay within the walls and keep the doors shut, nothing evil can enter.
And the most persistent dreams are the ones of an alternate version of this world. I tend to continue where I left off when I go back to sleep. Everything is the same except the problems are much different. Instead of a pandemic, the world is flooded and there's less land to walk upon. Mutated fish live in the depths. Cosmic horrors may land on occasion and wreak havoc. Then there are what I call "the lost children" who lure victims with their innocence but steal their shadow, or presumably their soul. Almost like an unsettling version of the kids from Neverland.
The red lady is the worst encounter. I've had nightmares about her since I was a toddler. She wears a big elaborate silk dress reminiscent of victorian-era garb mixed with Japanese elements. And her dark hair is worn out of proportion with a long thin white porcelain mask covering her face. The evil sisters from Kubo looked almost exactly like her which is why that movie bothers me a lot. Her multi-tonal voice sounds high-pitched like a screeching teapot. She's always trying to find me. I would get nightmares of running down complicated hallways adorned with red and gold patterns and I would try to hide in the ventilation. I could hear her steps drumming viciously towards my direction like a giant spider made of dark rusty scissors and swords. I would always fall down a darkened laundry chute onto a massive pile of white sheets in a gloomy basement of corpses and spiderwebs. I'd hide and try to stay as still as possible while I watched her cut at the sheets at an unnatural speed.
