Life is a Game

Date: 7/12/2021

I'll try to recall as much as I can... The dream was so interesting and I woke up after it feeling like it was greatly important. I was in a house or apartment with Samantha. There was a message brought to my attention, I think it was on a piece of paper, it was very cryptic but I decided to believe it and it was life instructions for a game. I followed every instruction that came to me...they were odd, like leaving a burner on for the ghost of my cat to play with and thinking only certain thoughts. During the playing of the game, which I knew was from morning until night but that I would be free to be myself over night, I was turned into a black woman, older with very dark skin and deep wrinkles in my face. As I begun and as I ended the day, I faded back to my own face. These are more practical notes from the dream but something about it seemed very significant. It was like I was playing the game of life and I wanted to be very good at it. Other people aware of the game thought it was a conspiracy and didn't follow any instructions, that seemed to show up in the way of illegible notes on odd things and phone calls with barely audible voices. At one point I got one of these calls and a little boy was talking to me at the same time, I tried to hush him so I could hear but only managed to get small bits of information. As much as I wanted to be very good at the game, I knew it was truly impossible to be perfect. There were bits of messages that I couldn't hear or interpret and i never knew for sure if I was following through correctly, I wasn't attached to that aspect. The apartment I was in was quite modern and it felt like night time, there were no personal items in the space at all, but it was decorated and full of nice furniture, stream line and modern/funky. The next part of my dream I am with Branny boy and he is showering. After he's done we go to Katharine's house and he hops in the shower there. He asks her for rhubarb and she is getting it prepared. I'm a little jealous that she's taking care of him and confused why he needed to shower again. He said that the towels at my house left little bits on him and I felt bad. Now the house was Zoe's and she was taking care of Bran now by giving him chips, I was confused and hurt again because I offered him chips when we were at mine. It seemed like he just wanted to connect with new people (my friends) but it offended me because it made me feel inadequate. Now, in comes Zoe's boyfriend but it's actually Georgia's boyfriend Tyler. They do a short exchange as Zoë now has to go to work as Tyler is getting home. I feel bad that they got zero time together. Tyler makes a joke about how to keep a relationship alive after a long time and says that all you have to do is get your girlfriend a gift every week and all the man wants is to have sex in a prison. I laugh and understand. I am now downtown in the rain, I think Tyler, Bran and I go to get food. Then we are separated and I'm with Isaac Greenberg. We are looking at some abandoned artwork on the street and he decides to take it home, we also talk about food waste and how to make vegetables accessible to everyone. The end!
