i woke up at four in the morning after going to bed at around eleven. i had a dream, but i’ve completely forgotten about it now. when i went back to sleep, i woke up in a different city. i remember being at my grandmother’s house, again. a mixture of my family and another family were fhere. my friend from school was there for some reason, too. her house is a very reoccuring place in my dreams for whatever reason it could be. my friend and a girl our age from the other family started talking. i envied them because they matched each other’s energies. i could never be on the same level as them. so, i bitterly spent my time by sitting on the couch next to my brother while using my phone. nearly all of the house’s walls were painted purple, which is the color of my own bedroom walls, because of my cousin’s toddler daughter. i found my grandma and cheekily asked her when she was going to paint the rest of her house. my next dream location was in a grocery store. i was watching a youtube video that partly took place in a grocery store, so this completely makes sense. the grocery store was owned by a pair of parents and their five little quintuplet boys. i was in a circular aisle leaning in for some donuts in a can when i heard an “excuse me.” i turned around to see the father and the five little boys just standing there. i sensed they wanted me to get out of their way, so i awkwardly crept between them and walked off. they didn’t move a muscle or utter a single word. while i was doing that, i somehow got my mouth attached and stuck to the side of the doughnut can. i was at my wit’s end trying to pull it off. with one eventual pull, i was finally able to rip it out of my mouth. i was for certain something was damaged in my mouth during the process. i peered into the mirror and noticed my teeth and gums were impossibly crooked. i was really upset upon seeing this. i had my dreams and reality mixed up for a second. nontheless, i joined the line at the cash register when i finally calmed down. there was a really tall and somewhat stocky blonde guy who looked to be a few years older than me. he was likely twenty-one at best. there was a shorter middle-aged woman in front of him with long, straight brown hair with reddish-brown hue and brown eyes. her face somewhat resembled the guy’s.
