Found myself living in a different house, this one was a 6 bedroom I think with 2 and a half baths. One room that I thought I'd take is the one with the modern shower in it. It was a bit hi-tech with various buttons and things on it but I loved that it got hot almost immediately. No more waiting around for a minute or more for the water to heat up. I wasn't crazy about the hardness and the intense water pressure it was on, but you could probably change that in the settings. Anyway, I went back to my room and along the way noticed not only were my brother and sister living with me, but like 3 other kids too. I assumed mom just adopted them without talking to us first about it which I wasn't too happy about. They seemed cool enough so I didn't make a fuss and besides, I'm sure they've been wanting to find a stable home for awhile. Anyway we go out to the living room to have dinner. Time skips ahead by some hours and we're in at some motel. Ocie, my grandmother's late 2nd ex husband is there wearing his church clothes along with his usual African kofia hat. Some elders from our church showed up too to have a chat. My great grandmother was there too and that's when I became a little lucid thinking how cool it was that I had 2 family members that had been deceased for a few years now suddenly back live again. Things take a little turn for the worst when the elders go back to their room, which is right next to ours, cos my grandmother says something about the attitude of the church women in their room and drama ensues between all of them. Suddenly you got them saying all sorts of awful things about her and Ocie and acting like teenagers. It put me off even more towards religion and church and made me feel glad I no longer attended such a close-minded institution with so many superficial people. Eventually things quieted down a bit but now there was like a get-together happening with a big group of 20 something people and younger hanging around. One girl I notice is Ms. Pixie from Instagram/YouTube and she's not happy right now because apparently she just cheated on her boyfriend with some other guy and now no one will speak to her. So she comes to me being flirtatious and asking for advice. I don't engage with her advances, but do listen. She says she really never meant to cheat and it was an innocent kiss she had with another guy but I had to tell her that that could still be seen as cheating unless it was like on the cheek or forehead or something. But I could tell it wasn't like that at all and she was downplaying the situation. I told her the decision to break up is in her boyfriend's hands and if he decides he doesn't wanna be with her anymore then she's got to accept it and make sure not to violate that trust with the next person. Her boyfriends female friends couldn't be more glad that he's not speaking to her and feels she's getting what she deserved. On one hand I'm wondering what caused her to cheat since she posts pics and videos of her cutesy relationship irl frequently and it seems like they're always swooning over each other which honestly is a tad bit annoying. A part of me is kinda glad there's trouble in paradise too. There's a side of me that enjoys watching drama unfold in other people and to especially see relationships crumble. I admit this stems directly from my own lack of a relationship and loneliness, but it's not as bad as it used to be. From here I had to use the bathroom and kept going to nearby bathrooms to pee but found the feeling to feel not quite right. Also the stream of urine itself came out in big spherical globlets. I woke up shortly after this point to use the bathroom for real. Upon going back to sleep I found myself in the world of the "Mars" docudrama series on National Geographic Channel where I was a fellow pioneer looking for life on the red planet. There are two teams in the current season: one is a big team of scientists while the other are engineers and machinists from a 3rd party corporation working on drilling into the planet for lucrative resources. I can't remember which one I was with but I recall observing a big drilling vehicle beginning to go off course and was wondering what was happening. A fellow colleague of mine mentioned how if it keeps going straight it's heading not only directly towards a cliff edge, but about 100ft below is a future garden area that scientists had already been prepping by digging up the soil to make it more viable for plant life to survive in. I believe I was in this group of botanists come to think of it because I did plant a few things nearby the compound to see how they would grow and if they could grow in such a harsh environment. Anyway, back to the drilling vehicle. Me and my colleague tried to get in front of it to wave it off, but it never slowed down. Shortly before it got to us we got word on the radio that this was planned by the driller guys. They needed to get results faster by getting deeper into the tough surface even if it meant sacrificing expensive drilling equipment. So clearly there was no one inside and it was being driven remotely or on autopilot. We leapt to the side and watched as the giant thing drove right off the edge and plummeted straight into the area below causing an explosion of dust. When it finally settled, the whole front of the vehicle was submerged underground and large cracks emanated from the point of impact. Looks like they got what they wanted but it was somewhat unimpressive for me and incredibly foolish to throw away a whole vehicle like that just for about 10m of extra depth that could've taken them a couple days to drill into properly. I just shook my head at all the damage as well as knowing we would have to spend time prepping a whole other area for planting our samples now. I woke up shortly thereafter.
