Phone app tiles

Date: 2/5/2021

While I was dreaming of something else. I remember I was in a location that felt like it was out of a Chinese drama. Spiritual masters and the wealthy would live in expanse homes with large Gardens and ponds with koi and other animals all about. It always seems so serene and spiritual to me. I was in one of these places. There were giant frogs jumping around and I was following them and maybe even trying to catch them for some reason. One frog looked different than the rest and I realized it might be a toad. Then suddenly its as if this dream is interrupted or there is some kind of interlude.. and by this i mean I really go inward. Suddenly I am looking at a black screen in a sort of shape as a phone screen. It is pitch black except for sort of faces. They look like app tiles/icons except they are faces. I even remember counting them and thinking to myself if the number of them meant anything. There were four per row and four rows of I remember correctly. Each gave was a different color and had a different personality to it. They weren't faces like humans, they looked nonhuman and exaggerated in expression. Like something you might see being sold in an Asian festival somewhere. The best idea I can give was that they were oni masks. The color of each somewhat related to their emotion or expression that I assume they were meant to embody or enface lol. They were moving slightly while still staying in place. Like Pokemon in the newer games. I was just there watching them. At some point I remember thinking to myself that as life went on "outside" as in my dream, and I reacted and thought the faces would take the stage and grow slightly bigger as if I was using that app/emotion. It honestly felt like watching a play, one of those super abstract plays. I was just watching them trying to figure out what the heck was happening. At one point I guess I got angry or something happened. The green mask started to act up. And then the red mask started to act on response to the green. The red and the green got bigger and bigger butting into and against other tiles as they tried to confront each other. Strangely and somehow the bodiless embodiments of emotion fought and before long they settled back into their lots. One of the masks looked beat up and had pieces of itself broken off, o forget which one. And that's all I can really remember. A lot more happened. All I remember was that I would go back to "living" in my dream and doing stuff and then suddenly I would be sucked in again to this strange inner world. It happened a couple of times, so much so that I got really tired of this interruption. But I don't remember much else about the rest of the dreams interrupted.
