The dream started off in this hotel-like place where me (and my family) were having dinner in the lobby area. It was a cheap place and there was a small console in the back which played two games, a quarter each play, and my brother, my sister, and I had all begged to go play it. Finally my mom relented and gave us change for my brother’s $20, and we went off and played. We took turns, first me then my sister then my brother, but my sister ended up getting bored bc she wasn’t very good so she just watched us. Like irl she started singing annoyingly and me and my brother both told her to shut up. Then me and my brother got into a mini fight over who got to play the game, I wanted to play this one game that was like Stardew valley put into a terraria format and instead of farming you catch farm creatures to collect points and kill monsters with guns that you buy with said points. My brother wanted to play a stupid basketball game which required you to press a bunch of buttons at the same time to throw the ball and make a hoop. He kept saying, “you’re a lesbian, shouldn’t you like this game?” and I kept laughing and rolling my eyes. Later that night at the hotel, I went into one of the bedrooms and was messaging this one girl, Lydia, who I had a crush on a little while ago irl. Somehow I had her number and we were texting back and forth, sending pictures of what was going on around us and whatnot, flirting etc. I was really into it. The next day my parents took me and my brother and sister to go to another restaurant, we went into this super fancy place and my sister was like, “woah, are we eating here?” I laughed and said, “do you really think we’re rich enough for that Grace, of course they wouldn’t bring us here. Look across the hall.” And sure enough there was a Little Caesar’s across from the restaurant that my family ate at. While we were waiting for pizza I was messaging Lydia again, and I felt like we were really connecting or something. Then, I ‘woke up,’ but I didn’t actually wake up irl. I woke up into another dream where we were at home. Outside was this absolutely massive windstorm, like just crazy. My parents told all of us to quickly close all the doors and windows but I didn’t close my window fast enough and my favorite blanket (which was neon orange in the dream) flew out the window. I closed the window and ran downstairs to catch it, my parents were confused as to why I was going outside when I’d be blown away but they were occupied with putting our dogs and cats down in the basement so they were safe. I dashed through the back door and had to push through massive winds to look for the blanket. I came back inside a bit later, defeated, and my mom asked what was wrong. I told her I lost my blanket so we both went back outside to look for it. My brother came out too and when he was looking I told him about the “dream” I had about the hotel. Then we searched all over the neighborhood, where people were freaking out. At one point a pillow fell out of this old lady’s window and I rushed to pick it up and return it, and close the window, but a guy (her neighbor) got to it before me. Finally my mom, my brother and I returned to the house, unable to find the blanket, but as we were walking back I saw it stuck against one of our bushes right by the door and ran back inside, super happy. When I got inside my mom was quickly hiding the cat crate, which we use to take my cat to the vet. I asked where Potato was and she said, he’s right here, and handed me a black cat that looked exactly like Potato. But I could tell it wasn’t him. He knew the same tricks and looked the same but was different somehow. Then a dozen other black cats came out, with the slightest variation that I could use to tell they weren’t the real Potato. I asked again where Potato was but nobody would answer.
