Giant canyon and adorable love story

Date: 1/18/2020

I had this dream that started with me in the back of my mom’s car. My entire family was there, with my mom driving. We were going down this really thin road that was all dusty, a canyon-like area that dropped down at least 100 feet on either side. At the bottom of both sides were these strange trees that looked like babao trees with thick, round trunks, except they had weird circles growing from the top instead of leaves. We were going like 70 MPH and there weren’t any rails or guards on the road, so I had my phone out and was videoing to show my friends. Then my mom just started taking these crazy turns, even jumping the car. Eventually she jumped it and didn’t make it; then I found myself in the water at the very very bottom of part of this canyon. My brother was underwater and swam up to meet me, he said “I think she glitched the car, the others must’ve glitched somewhere else!” I looked around and saw parts of the car floating down to the bottom of this slightly murky water, I told my brother we had to get out. We swam to this shoreline and climbed up a bit and found the rest of the family, along with some tourist-looking people. It was this giant parkour/climbing looking place, with rope you used to pull yourself up and around the canyons. I went first and was surprisingly fast. We eventually made it to what seemed like a dead end. Then this guy, who was like a native / tour guide, came over and told me, “open the secret door to continue.” Somehow I knew what he was talking about and went to the wall, and pushed. It opened up into a tight cave with ripped ropes you had to strategically climb. It was easy for me but everyone else was lagging behind, so I went on ahead. I found another, bigger cave in the side of another canyon and inside were a bunch of people. Maybe a dozen or two dozen. In there was this one absolutely gorgeous girl my age, she was cute as fuck man. I kind of froze until the tour guide, who followed behind me, said “go talk to her, quickly! Before everyone else comes up.” I ran over to her and grabbed her arm and pulled her to the corner, at the back of the crowd where nobody could see us. She was like “oh um hi?” and I said “listen you’re like.... really cute, okay?” She blushed and I blushed then i said, “can I get your number?” and she said “oh okay,” then told me her number. I memorized it. Then I saw my family coming in from behind us and everything in the dream changed. All of a sudden our family lived on the streets of some city, eating what we could salvage and camping out in abandoned buildings or on rooftops. I was kind of left to my own devices since I was little. I had met the same girl, however, when I was going back behind an alley to meet up with a crowd of other homeless people who were gonna trade with me. I did the same thing as in the canyon, only this time she dragged me up to a rooftop and we talked. We talked like that, on the same rooftop even, for a while. Then one day I decided I was gonna ask her out. I filled a big pink (her favorite color) balloon with glitter and tied it to our spot, and when she came up to meet me I was there and nervously blushing. I asked her to go out with me and she laughed and hugged me and said of course, and took down the balloon and was so happy about it since it was her favorite thing. However she hugged the balloon too hard and it popped, getting pink glitter everywhere, all over both of us and the rooftop. I laughed and suddenly we kissed, glitter faces and all. The dream skipped forwards and we were adults, dining in a small restaurant. She had a pink balloon hidden behind her back and she smiled and proposed to me with the balloon. People turned to stare but I didn’t care. I grabbed the balloon, laughing, and it popped and sprayed glitter and confetti everywhere, and a ring landed on my finger. I said yes and we hugged and kissed. Then I started remembering from when we were young. Memories of the rooftop, of us going through abandoned streets together, of us getting lost and finding our way together came back to me. I smiled. I was happy. Then I woke up.
