I am playing World of Warcraft (I haven’t played in 20 years, but I dream of it often). I am given a quest to visit Shattrath city in outlands. I arrive in a dark forest that gets lighter as I travel. It’s beautiful, with nice clouds and water. I see abandoned towers, but the city seems to be dark. I approach the entrance, but it’s now an ultra modern waiting room. I talk to the agent at the front deck. He’s bored. I don’t have my proper ID. He explains that we need to travel briefly to America first. The views out the window change as we travel. Outside, there is snow on the ground. I see a skyline of a modern city on the horizon. There are giant waves that never really break. There is a community of white houses. Lots of footsteps. My parents and I follow them. My mother enters a house on the left while my father and I enter one on the right. As we go in, a large family from the 50s is leaving. Up the stairs, we see the house has been built for a dog. The ceilings are all very low, and there are many tvs turned in to dog programming. We leave after some time. A second house has a theme I forget. A third has two people commenting on everyone who passes. Notable characters are Pope Pius the Villainous (with a painted skull face) and Johnny Sunshine (in a leather jacket). I leave, and decide to write down my dream, as I’m doing right now. I’m writing longhand, but it’s changing when I try to read it back. I am not in control if my writing.
