I time travel in dreams back to our house in queens and my mom had this box of colorful little work cameras that she didn’t want a any more because she had already quit that job But she was not like surprised at all to see that I was an adult like she was still herself at her age now, but for some reason she was at the house and my room was pretty much the same But before that, I was like walking around and I don’t know some part of New York I thought it was so when I woke up, but then I realize that architecture was different so maybe it was Brooklyn. I don’t know if there’s a lot of stuff painted black. But it had more of a queens/brooklyn vibe But regardless, I was messing around with the camera and took some photos of the stuff around the house or my room or whatever that I thought look kinda cute and it was 9 megapixels on the box. I was like it’s gonna have that old digital camera aesthetic, that these new photographers are paying big bucks for now to use in their work that is for some reason so after I guess the vintage look. which is hilarious because of how long we fought to get away from low megapixel cameras just to go right back to them and for them to be a trend now Anyhow, the cameras are colorful like instax cameras, but the box was really similar to the advertising I’ve seen for those work Polaroids that were used in the 80s or whatever, but structurally they were actually rather different to both of them. They were pretty unique looking Anyhow, I somehow entered a store when I went through the door in the room that is not there in my life and it was a place that was in the past, however it seems like that certain things in the present ended up there somehow and it was I don’t know if it was a consignment store or a boutique or what but I had like the horror and had lost and found and I saw one of the water balls it’s in my house now and she asked if it was mine and I was like oh yeah and like you know, I was walking around and I saw this really cute little rug that reminded me of the Sailor Moon cartoon was like round and like I could literally just draw one order and order it irl. To pick it up and folded it and kept looking around to keep looking for more more cute stuff, and when I found the second thing I wanted to buy in the store and also realize also was with me and we were looking for part of his Halloween costume because I had to look for some decals and I found socks, but then I found decals made of like sock material like they were fabric stickers it was pretty cool. They were cute So I was looking for like the decals that the redheaded Chucky doll character thing was on his overalls, so we could put them on my overalls, like I suggested in real life instead of him like sewing or buying an overpriced cheaply made costume Anyhow, there are these girls in the store who I’m pretty sure were at the bar yesterday when I went to get some food accross the street (irl) some of which I know but anyhow, they asked me something and I mentioned to them I’m from from a different year. Which they didn’t really seem that phase by the little other than that I was a time traveler from 2024. But anyhow, after that, I moved onto the next room and employee asked if the water bottle was mine which it was and then she said writing something down and I really I also had a notepad I was recording stuff on. But I don’t remember what exactly I wrote. I just realized that I got kind of sad when I remembered, I would not be able to take the stuff out, found or bought in the dream and into real life. I mean, I could make some of it. I just don’t remember what the rug looked like that clearly minus the colors and the theme of it. And then in the gym before that I was in I got some kind of classroom or factory. I don’t know it was laid out really weird and I there was this lady in charge. It was like kind of mean that’s so much to me but like everyone else, like it was a bunch of kids of various ages and some folks my age doing like unpaid labor or something and then in the first room, which is not where we spent most of the time, but I ended up spending quite a bit of time until I guess went to the next dream, and I was like rearranging this room and all the furniture because I thought it could have a better layout But I had seen this video the other day it was someone put a cover over a radiator and they turned it into like a bench seat for their table and I was like oh my God I want one of those so I was in the process of that and I then said, rearranging the furniture that was in my room because it was in there and then someone had to come in through the door and got kind of confused the room there was actually I think a little bigger but had an extra door in it now but my closet wasn’t there Like there must’ve been about five rooms There was definitely a point where I was in my own room in real life, and I realize that it was much longer and I was like well. My apartment is kind of huge but only the bedroom, but then I didn’t occur to me that the layout was kind of wrong because the long part of my room was facing the kitchen instead lol Some of it was pleasant some of it was less pleasant because that lady was like mean And then getting increasingly stressed out, trying to arrange furniture in the ideal way because it’s tiring mentally to try and figure out a layout
