Nap of the Century™

Date: 11/29/2022

Dude, so I haven't been dreaming the whole week my family was here, and last night (or the night before? What is time ha ha) I closed my eyes and BAM I had at LEAST 7 dreams last night that I can REMEMBER. So instead of making a separate dream entry for each, I'm writing them all in one here, if you read this, I hope you don't feel like you've wasted your time *sips unicorn latte*~ 1. "This Isn't Platform 9¾!" Harry Potter themed dream. Haven't had one of those in a looooong time. I was with Harry, Ron and Hermione and we were all little kids, either the first book/movie or the second. Plot twist was the fact that the story was taking place during COVID-19 travel restrictions. We all had to line up and keep social distance on the way to the train. There were some intimidating masked officers checking our documents and I panicked and said to one of my friends that I didn't bring a mask. Then there was some kind of panic involving Death Eaters and the officers were told to let us hurry into the train without checks. All the students got scared and rushed into the train, which tumbled over to the side and fell on a train track below (because magic). There was a wizard leader/professor who looked a lot like Lucius Malfoy except not evil, like an alternative reality Lucius, or maybe older Draco idk. Anyway, he defied orders and protocol in order to get us on the train and as far away from The Threat as quickly as possible. The train was traveling on an old disused railway track where it stopped in front of a mountain. Someone said this to Good!Lucius like "but there is no tunnel through the mountain! How will we get through?" And he epically waved his wand and said "So we will make our own!" And bam there was a tunnel and we passed through safely. When we finally got off at the next stop, something didn't feel right, and then I realized we were likely tricked. As everyone was getting off the train I yelled "This isn't Platform 9¾!" And everyone looked around and realised the same. 2. Trans Bully I was walking somewhere in the old town I lived in, and in front of me was a transwoman named Dylan? (TikToker one who recently met Joe Biden). She was wearing a black dress and saw me walking behind and slowed down and then walked with me and harassed me, criticising my clothes, my hair etc. Saying I was an embarrassment as a woman. I tried not to pay attention but she was very aggressive. I can't remember how I lost her, I think I just wasn't going in her direction. 3. Save the Tree! Dream continued as I walked down the hill into a neighbourhood. In the middle of the cul de sac was a green spot and an old tree and a group of people crowded around it. I went to them to find out what was going on and they told me that the county council gave permission for some developer to destroy the tree. They told me the tree was ancient, several centuries old, the oldest tree in town, and that it had to be protected. The people were locals of the area who were prepared to put themselves in danger for this tree. I was very touched and decided to support them, but I wondered why I have never heard about it, why there aren't more people. I wanted to get this out to the wider population so we could get more people to join, otherwise we were sure to lose. The tree low-key reminds me of the tree I landed on on a lucid dream I had on my birthday this year or the year before (it's on this journal). 4. Riding a Bike In real life, I have never learned to ride a bike, though I tried, I didn't have anyone to teach me. In the dream, I went back to my childhood place where I stayed with my grandparents and where I tried to ride a bike irl. I got on a bicycle and tried again, as an adult, and to my surprise I was kinda actually doing it. It felt so real as well, the weight of gravity, the pedals, the steering of the wheel, and the sound of gravel. I was happy and excited and said "better late than never!" I went quite a distance before I fell off the bike, which was major progress... I wonder if it's possible to do in reality? Learn to ride a bicycle as an adult? 5. The Three Hungry Mice I was living in a trailor and I had three mice, just like the one that was in my house irl a few days ago, but larger. I gave them food and took pictures of them on my phone to send to my mom, because she thinks mice are cute. 6. Oxygen Balloons I had vampire friends who were playing around with inhaling OXYGEN from balloons which made their voices go high. I was extremely bewildered and pointed out how it didn't make sense. "It's HELIUM that makes your voice go high-pitched. Are you pranking me?" But they seemed to be genuine, so I said "if oxygen can make your voice do that then it's some kind of Mandela Effect." 7. Me No Speak Japanese Related to the vampire dream but too vague and complicated to explain. Either way, I had a vampire boyfriend (because of course I did, I always do) who knew some movie director who wanted to make a movie or TV show about our lives. My bf got to choose who he wanted to play him, so the front yard was full of guys, some of them shirtless and buff, all attractive. I rolled my eyes, because my boyfriend is skinny. But he wanted my advice and I humoured him. He showed me his favourite potential candidates, one of them, he said, would be great if he could speak. "They said he's from Japan and doesn't understand English." I immediately tested this theory and asked the guy, in Japanese, if he speaks Japanese. Everyone looked at me in shock, like, "you know Japanese?!?" I am studying it in real life though so it helps in dreams like these. When the guy doesn't respond, I ask him the same question, but phrased differently, thinking maybe I made a mistake. No response. I go closer to him and ask him how old he is. No response. I sigh and say to my bf and his assistant "He's no Japanese, or at least doesn't speak it. He can't even answer basic questions." My bf gets stressed and I suggest he take a break. I take his hand and lead him away. We lie down on the soft grass, and for some reason there's lots of CD records laid out, and I'm really curious about them. My bf and I kiss, then I move a black strand of hair away from his face. He likes my hair a lot. He says he's grateful for my mom? That's it for now 😎
