Dream Journal Ultimate

So in my first dream I was living at my great grandmother's old house in Alabama. Not sure why me and my family were there, but this was apparently our new place and we'd be here for awhile. I get a message from my friend J saying she wants to talk via Skype or video chat on whatsapp or something. I'm happy and nervous since we've never done that before, but right as she calls me and I answer, she gets a call from her boyfriend causing her to promptly end the call with me and talk to him. I think she forgot to end the call and maybe hit the button for me to join their conversation instead cos I could hear them talking. She didn't sound happy and was chewing him out about how he didn't care about how she feels. She's always so chill so I'd never heard her so pissed off before. He didn't have much to say back in return and seemed pretty listless/nonchalant. If he was this way all the time towards issues she would bring up then no wonder she got mad. Anyone would after awhile. I wanted to listen in more but I figured since she likely doesn't know I'm still on it would be rude of me to eavesdrop, so I hung up to give her and him some privacy. I figured and hoped she'd tell me all about it afterwards if she felt comfortable. Once I'm off the phone a big earthquake happens shaking the house so bad that the walls crack and shelves fall over completely. It doesn't last very long and I go in my room afterwards to find my wooden desk in broken pieces underneath a bunch of debris. Just great. I go back out to the main area where my mom and sister were and she starts frantically saying that we have to leave which I agree. Who knows when the next one will hit and if it will be even worse. Safer to just get on the road far away. But now this meant we had to quickly pack up what we could just in case we were gonna be gone a long time. So I put some clothes in a suitcase and grabbed my electronics like my tablet, laptop, chargers, and Nintendo Switch. Then I wanted to bring my posters too which I began methodically taking down. I was so flippin annoyed with the fact that I had JUST gotten my room together a few weeks ago (irl and we moved to a new house a few weeks ago as well) and now I have to dismantle it, ugh. My mom got into an argument with some Jamaican lady next door who I swear I've seen in other dreams before and she just kept ranting about how this earthquake was a sign from God for us sinners and we should repent because this is the end of the world. We just rolled our eyes at her religious scare tactics and I ended up just fading off into a different dream entirely at that point. In my final dream I found myself on the set of 'Star Trek: Discovery' with alot of other actors in the show and we were filming the new upcoming season. Apparently I was a new cast member, like a random shipmate who actually had a few prominent parts with the main cast including Michael Burnham. I couldn't believe I got this part though. Currently we were shooting a scene in the middle of some snowy mountainous area. Looks like we experienced a crash landing on some unknown planet since the Discovery was in the background with small fires burning within. It was mostly a big piece of plastic in front of a green screen where the special effects would be later added in post, but in the meantime we had to learn our lines and although it was easier than I thought since you were only required to memorize the lines from whatever scenes they were shooting that day instead of the whole episode or something. It wasn't that easy though especially for me since memorizing stuff isn't exactly my strong suit. But I somehow managed even if I would frequently mess up or forget my lines and have to reshoot the scene. On the flipside I also would happen to be filming a special extension featurette of Star Wars Episode II: The Clone Wars with none other than Ewan McGregor reprising his role as a young Obi-Wan Kenobi. We were seemingly in the caves of an active volcano (probably on planet Mustafar) trying to escape. I played a rookie rebel soldier who was tagging along. I don't think this was another movie, but a small 20min director's cut sort of thing of extra scenes that Disney was splicing into Episode II for some reason. This was amazing for me though cos I'm getting to work on two of the biggest science fiction space series ever. Shortly after filming that scene, I was whisked back to the Star Trek set where I was surprised to find my ex standing there. I think she was an observer and not apart of the crew. She saw me and immediately began talking some crap to me that made me mad and I morphed from a black man into a fierce white woman with tattered clothes on and mud caked all over. I have no idea why, but I guess my mind felt this made me appear so much stronger. I felt stronger and more fearless that's for sure. I immediately put her in her place saying how I've been just fine these few weeks without her. I admitted I was felt weak and alone in the beginning but soon I had no choice but to become strong. A flashback started showing me in the same area while it was snowing heavily and I was bitterly cold as I wandered helplessly through a barren forest. Eventually these huge Buffalo like alien beasts came upon me and were ready to attack, but somehow over the span of a few weeks I learned not to run away and began fighting back, fighting so hard THEY would retreat from me. In time I became like one of their own and rode with them while holding a staff I fashioned from oak with an iron tip. I came out of this flashback to find my ex aghast at my story. She knew she was bested by the fierce warrior I'd become and would never talk crap to me again. Then some idiot started talking some racist crap to Woolie who randomly appeared for some reason (from the 2 Best Friends Play YouTube gaming channel). This dude asked why did black people bother moving to the suburbs and why don't they stay in the hood. He was literally admitting how he didn't want black people living in his suburban neighborhoods and figured we all belonged in "da hood." I turned back into my black self upon hearing that cos of course I had many words to exchange with this moron, but I would do it in the classiest way ever. I woke up before I could let him have it though.
