So, I was complaining to my doctor that I have not been sleeping well as I have been having crazy vivid frustration dreams every night so he suggested I try going without alcohol as it can mess with sleep cycles and REM. Now, I will report to you on my dreams based on last night’s habits. Keep in mind that dreams are convoluted and sometimes have segue that don’t make sense
10/1/2020: No alcohol 3 nights in a row now, went to bed having not eaten in 2.5 hours, took some melatonin and 25mg benadryl
Dream: It started with some group releasing a monster from a labyrinth type trap. The gates were opened on both ends and then me and a small group of people had to flee as fast as we could before he got out. The monster was pure evil and would immediately cause the death of anything that came into his view. He could also sway anyone to do his bidding and work for him. There was another beast that was released at the same time – both were human-like but were at least twice the height of a normal human.
My group picked up and traveled with the second creature who was a very wise, all-knowing woman who we thought was also all powerful, but when we stopped at a flea market type place to buy some goods and food, we saw the two creatures talking over the tent (as they were very tall) and I knew that the evil creature was brainwashing our seemingly all powerful leader. I never saw the monster’s face, but he was wearing an open coat that was a rust orange with intricate gold embroidery and was therefore easy to spot. I had to stop the encounter before he completely had her in his trance. I ran quickly behind her so he wouldn’t see me and smacked her really hard and then continued to run – because if he even noticed you, he could have you dead. At one point he was questioning a man who decided to be smug and a smartass and the monster took a whip out and slashed once – completely removing the man’s face and front of his neck and causing his entire body to turn to lava. I remember the guy saying “ouch” and thinking “how can he say anything without a face/neck?”
We ran and jumped onto the roof of a stadium to hide and thankfully our leader came too. We then learned that we were traveling with a young girl who was the monster’s daughter and he was dead set on killing her. He found us on the roof and we fired some special water guns at him and ran. He had brainwashed numerous people to help him find us. One of our group ended up dying, but then she was able to come back and help the girl better as a ghost because the monster could not perceive her. She showed the girl a secret passageway through the house we were in and then, when the monster was in the house, we escaped by jumping out of a third story window onto a trampoline. The ghost girl somehow embraced the girl and silenced the fall.
We then ran to where we thought we would be safe – it was the house of a witch type lady, but she wasn’t a witch in the dream, just spiritual and holding power. We hid out in her place, thinking she could shield us from the monster, but his people found us and raided the house. The “witch” was able to use her power to get the men to aim their guns at each other to prevent them from firing. They merely burned each other with the laser guides.
Something happened here, I can’t remember, I want to say we got away, but had the feeling we would always be running until he found us.
Next, we were at an outdoor party/event that was ending and people were picking center pieces to take home with them. I was delighted to see that the flower bowl I was taking had some live fish in it. The bowl was a flimsy plastic and the water kept sloshing out and I was struggling to keep the fish in the bowl. Some sloshed out and I tried my best to put them back in the bowl. When I got in the car and was buckling up, trying to balance the flimsy bowl, I noticed that I also had a live baby that was used in the center piece. I had mixed thoughts about this. One: I thought it unfair that now I am responsible for another human being just because I picked up a centerpiece. And two: why on earth were babies used as decorations and what if a centerpiece wasn’t taken home, would they just throw the babies away?! I was horrified and made sure to buckle the baby in with me.
When I got home, I went to put the fish away and realized that I had other fish that I had completely forgotten about and had almost no water in their tanks and were all about to die. I frantically filled their tanks and fed them, wondering how I could forget that I had all these fish and thankful they were still alive. As I went around refilling tanks, feeding, and trying to find a spot to put the new fish, I just kept discovering more tanks full of fish that I had forgotten about. Some were busy eating the other fish in the tanks as they were all starving. I tried to move the ones eating others around to different tanks, but kept discovering more larger fish. At one point, I even found a huge red striped snapping turtle who was super angry and I was feeding it horse poop.
That was all I remember. So, I woke up tired. Still so very tired.
