Strange Storybook Dream

Date: 7/8/2019

This was in the middle of a few other dreams. I’m also pretty sure that i’ve had this dream before. I was apparently the main character of some tale, and it started out with me going to some dude’s house in the woods to go meet some others that would aid me on my quest. one of them was a teenage vampire witch girl and the other i don’t remember, but they aren’t important. oddly enough i remember very little of this dream but it was strange enough to remember. then all of a sudden it’s like i’m watching the story unfold but it not actually in it, like some sort of montage. we go on fast forward for a while until i’m watching myself laying on the grass near a river with the two others i met earlier. i’m wounded or something but the vampire is going on about how i’m the chosen one and i can’t die and she’s afraid of my supposed power, referring to my symbol of three swans burning her. then all of a sudden i do something (i think) and then apparently i ‘free’ the two of them(?). the person i don’t remember disappears completely, having been held to the mortal plane by a force or something, while i break some sort of curse on the vampire girl, which had turned her from a beautiful fairy into her ugly vampiric state. she has tears in her eyes and says that now she can be happy and she’ll never forget me as she almost floats off like the other person did. the scene shifts to me, a gnome, mining, then having my pick axe break, and then marching off with my gnome friends to go get another one. then all of a sudden i’m in my body again and i’m talking through some sort of portal to these two people again, but an alternative dimension form of them, still unchanged like i didn’t just free them from their curses. they say that their dimensional version of me was the real chosen one and my dimensional version had died (?) (even though i was right there) so i had to take off my clothes (technically the corpse’s) and give them to them. so i strip the clothes from my own dead body and give them to them. then i’m in their version of my body and i’m putting the clothes on and they’re kinda bloody and gross. i fast forward a little and i’m drawing a picture with crayons, and i’m drawing one of the supposed scenes of the story that i wanted to go differently since i was the alternative universe version of myself. i drew a rainbow with only red, orange, yellow, and blue over a sidewalk which i had died on in the other universe. there’s a brief montage of me going through the story again, with someone else narrating and giving criticism on the story as a whole. then i fast forward to the very “end” of the story and i don’t remember much about it but i do remember being in some sort of lovecraftian horror of a structure, something like a mansion mixed with an enormous twisting tree and made partially of flesh. there was some cherub-like being there that was aligned with the villain and a seed of sorts that kinda represented the universe sorta, and it was growing at a huge rate into a little vine. i remember wanting to crush it because it was in the villains control but i don’t because it’s the universe after all. then i skip to the end and there’s a sort of epilogue for everyone. the vampire witch girl apparently spends her eternity in an ice cold freezing room with the door locked, enjoying the cold or something?? the other person was never there, and apparently cinderella, who was part of the story, divorces her husband and marries her girlfriend and has a kid. i don’t get an afterstory. the end. what the fuck?????
