Several dreams last night

Date: 2/21/2023

Defeating two dragons*, just like in Skyrim where it burns up into a dragon skeleton, but something worse came out. A foe I was too drained out to deal with, so I had to desperately run and dodge its attacks. I recall fearing to die specifically because I felt like I had come so far, and knew I'd have to start again if I failed now. Scary. I was upset at family gathering because they're concerned about one of their cows being "depressed" and I'm upset about their cognitive dissonance. I tell them they need to let cows go outside and give them free space to roam and to socialize. They think I'm a crazy vegan extremist and ignore my opinions. Once again, as in real life, I walk away because I can't handle being around otherwise kind people who claim to love animals but actively exploit, objectify and abuse them. Even though they clearly empathize with them. My grandma: oh poor little cow, what do we do to help her? Me: let her outside, let her play and socialize Everyone: *while eating meat* we just don't know :( There was a famous stage play where the lead actor went missing and they were desperate for a replacement. In comes a man who looks like a younger Alan Rickman, who also happens to resemble the actor they're looking for, so they take him without question and he doesn't protest. At this point, I see the dream from Alan's perspective. We're rehearsing lines and there's some people watching us in the audience. I read my lines and everyone thinks I'm doing an excellent job. I enjoy it. Then comes in a man who recognizes me and gives me an injured cat. Which reminds me I'm actually a vet, and a well-known one at that. I take the cat, who is injured in several places, and is unhappy about me handling him, so I manage to be gentle and calm him down and make him trust me. All the while taking a break from rehearsal because I know my line is not going to be for a while. So in the meantime, I decide to put the cat to sleep. I inject him with some kind of painkiller drug combined with sleep inducing stuff, wrap the kitty in a towel, and put him down somewhere off the stage. Fellow actors see this and come over to ask what I'm doing. I explain to them I have to take care of this cat but that he can be expected to stay asleep for about 30-40mins, maybe longer. In that time I agreed to perform as an actor, but otherwise I have a job to do. I am able to negotiate successfully. Serj Tankian, lead man of System of a Down, grows his hair long and bleaches and styles it to look like Kurt Cobain then plays an acoustic/guitar version of "I'm Waiting For the Night" by Depeche Mode, covering it in Kurt's vocal style as a tribute to him, while sitting with his bandmates and a bunch of other people somewhere on a lawn in L.A. It's like a chill street performance improv, as if he had just heard Kurt died and decided to do a tribute. When he finishes, a cute young female fan with short brown hair comes to him and kisses him on the cheek. Serj is surprised while the bandmate next to him is jealous, thinking "why don't I ever get kisses from cute fangirls?" Going through a graveyard and meeting a caretaker pushing an elderly woman in a wheelchair and me mixing it up with Kay**. Then I find actual Kay at a library. The elderly woman from before is left with Kay and complains about her life, particularly losing her freedom to move, to eat, and now to be able to read. Kay makes no reaction or response. Meanwhile, I was tiding up the library. Then I was running late to catch a train and almost missed it. I was talking to a father and son about how "back where I'm from" trains aren't usually on time, and they tend to wait for people. As we passed through the coast, the man on the train's intercom talked about water pollution in this particular area and how we have to do something about it.
