Dreams

• Snippet: I remember a large cavern with a lot of short tufts of grass growing in it, that was important to some segment of my dream somehow. I also remember a pure white car, though I’m not sure if that’s part of the same dream or a different one.
• Snippet: I also remember a group of four that I was part of, we had to divide into two groups of two to do things but I’m pretty sure we swapped group members now and then too. Someone couldn’t defeat one type of enemy so we had to swap to do that with other people now and then. We also had a room that was our central base and I seem to recall making soup for the rest of the group there.

• I remember a large world map in a game, with two continents, one western landmass and one eastern one, each surrounded by a wide expanse of ocean. It was a cooperative team game and we had a leader who set goals and also did commentary for spectators as though it was a Twitch stream. The rest of the team each had little sailboats with pointy triangle sails, and we sailed around to explore specific parts of the map that he zoomed in on. When he zoomed in to the map, we could see other unmanned boats along the continent shorelines as well, some of them because the players had died and had been unable to retrieve them, and others that were just abandoned for other reasons. We went to explore the boats near the expedition areas that he declared each time in addition to going inland to look at what was there.

• A good portion of my dream involved running in and around school and occasionally jumping up onto things using trampolines. In particular I remember at one point asking a small bird for permission to hitch a ride from the bus stop outside the school, and then hanging on to it as it flew me up to a larger bird on the roof of the school building, about two stories high or so. There I retrieved my passport from the nest of the bigger bird.
• I also remember being in the computer lab with Nomakk and a bunch of other people, we were all watching Nomakk late in his Twitch stream but there weren’t many of us left since he had been streaming for some time already. And he stopped and restarted his stream in offline mode to pretend that he was offline, while giving us late stayers a bonus stream for our loyalty. He said he was going to record this next stream as a YouTube guide, and requested all of us remaining viewers in the lab to turn down our phone volumes to zero so they would not accidentally go off and ruin the recording.

• I was partaking in a game giveaway, the format of which consisted of a bunch of huts or small houses forming a large circle, and a number of people constantly moving clockwise in a large circle around the huts.
• The games were given away by me, in the middle of the circle of huts, holding the game keys and tossing them at the people moving by, trying to hit them with the keys, which would then signify that whoever I hit had won that key. There was line of sight in this dream, so I couldn’t hit anyone when they were on the north side of the circle because that was mostly blocked by the huts, whereas there was open space to the south that I could pelt people at.
• I had to time it, but it was also okay for me to walk out into the main road circling the huts, and slingshot games away into the distance, to people on other roads. It wasn’t like there was a constant and steady flow of people, so I occasionally did this, and hit someone who was ridiculously far away at least once this way. Apparently our circle of huts was one little neighbourhood within a larger city.
• Much later on, I was in a room with a bunch of clear display cases, similar to a jewelry shop, except these display cases had either game keys or just some generic words in them. I had some or those keys or words in my own hands too and was demonstrating to other people around me how to use them.
• Snippet: I also had another dream where I was a low level adventurer but needed to get around a higher level but lazy adventurer in a small staging lobby zone, to get to an elevator that would then take me to an area where I could level up by myself and gain some treasure and experience. The first time I tried this however, the other adventurer noticed me and tried to tag along, either to leech off of my efforts to take most of the experience or to try to kill me by virtue of being vastly overpowered, so I had to back away. The second time I tried it, I navigated around the staging lobby by hopping from spot to spot along the wall while the adventurer was on the other side of the lobby, so I reached the elevator without them noticing.

• Snippet: I remember combining face body parts using sliders on a floating screen in front of me, as though it was part of a character creation process. I and someone else scrolled through and made faces with different combinations, sometimes discovering new ones that the game wanted us to make, whereas sometimes the game would give us old images to make instead. One of the ones we unlocked was from 2010, according to the All Rights Reserved message at the bottom of the face picture, which implied that it had been found before and then ignored and not renewed for over a decade. Contrast that to the ones that the game showed us now and then, which were all from 2022-2024.

• I was at an underground music record or CD shop with Derpie, as well as one other person who was our driver. The car was parked in an underground carpark attached to a road that ran by the storefront. We were about to leave to get food, but I pointed out that the store itself also served food and was starting to bring rice and a number of assorted dishes out onto a table next to a doorway that led to a backroom kitchen, and that it was free, so we should stay and try it instead.
• After watching them bring out food for a bit, we joined the queue separately. The queue stretched down a corridor and we had to leave the record store and enter the shop next to the record store in order to join the back of the line. I ended up at a part of the line near Ronnie and some people from work, as well as a couple friends from Singapore that I recognized.
• The line moved slowly at first, and I saw other people, including Derpie, walk by while eating from their carried plate of food as they walked. Eventually though, the line in front of us dispersed, and I wasn’t sure why until I walked up to the table and saw that while they still had some food, they were completely out of rice. A girl and another guy were still there picking at the food, and I joined them. The girl kindly picked up the last item from one of the food plates on the table in front of her and gave it to me, and I smiled and reciprocated to her with one of the plates in front of me.
• Eventually, the old lady working the kitchen came back out with a new plate of food, and we told her that the table was out of rice. She nodded and disappeared into the back room, and came back out shortly with a disappointingly tiny plate of rice that was barely enough for even one person. We split that between the three of us anyway, finished some of the remaining food, and then left.
• Earlier while around that area, there was also some plotline needing to acquire a weapon, and I went around using a pickpocketing skill on NPCs, looting all sorts of weird things. My skill had a limited amount of charges though, and at one point I used it on a guy when I had three charges left, as I realized that he had a weapon, but I ended up with some other item from him instead and the guy started to flee down a busy street. I gave chase and used the pickpocketing skill again but again looted something else from him instead.
• He then outpaced me and escaped into the crowd, but that was fine as I had slowed down upon noticing that someone else in the crowd that I was passing by had a nice katana-like sword. I used my last skill charge on him instead and successfully stole the sword, which I brought back to Derpie and the other person with us.

• I was walking around the streets of a city, I remember a bus terminal as well that I walked out of at some point. There were lots of some minor enemies, possibly insects, lying around the place that I could wield an item and then select or click on, in a very adventure point and click game sort of way, which would kill them, and there was either a progression system or some bounty system attached to that.
• At one point I came across an elevator on the side of the road. Even though I was walking along the streets, I was apparently on the 9th floor of something and wanted to go to the 5th to 8th floors to patrol instead. But the elevator only had one single floor button in it, which went to the 4th floor. Still, I entered the elevator and selected it, then watched the door slide close, then watched it open again as a passing young boy had pressed the button. His family chose not to enter and chided him for it, then the door closed again and I took the lift down into the ground.
• Later, I entered a government registration building as I knew that Zian was nearby and suspected that she was there. She was, and I waited to one side until she noticed me before I waved to her. She was here to get her babysitter’s licence, and also had a large character panel in front of her where she was investing points that she had earned into unlocking things that would help with her new career, including things like a cozy-looking interdimensional cottage with a garden around it, and something that produced infinite food. These all cost a lot of skill points to unlock, with costs running into 5-digit numbers, and although she ran out of points after picking a few things, there were still many more things left to unlock
