Graywolf

Something about a giant baked white cheddar cheeto puff being eaten like corn on the cob?

I'm camping (or something) with my friend on this flat bit of rock. She's sleeping but I'm still awake. Someone comes over and says something that makes me.. panic? get excited? I was riled up, at least. I don't remember what I do, but I accidentally overturn lots of flat rocks and hunks of dirt, which reveal big, scary-looking insect colonies. My friend wakes up and is annoyed with me, because now we'll have to camp somewhere else before the insects come up onto the rock she was sleeping on.

At some other point, I'm in the woods near some abandoned buildings with my friend and some of her friends. I'm running around and around, and I stop to tell my friend that "this is basically like when the cat runs around and meows for no reason" (or something like that), but I only got to "this is basically like" and she goes "yeah" (or something like that), as if what I had said was a complete sentence on its own. I get angry and stressed and tell her that she interrupted me, but now I'm too annoyed with her to tell of the rest of my sentence right now. Later, when I'm ready to tell her, I can't find her.

I had some memory of those abandoned buildings. I don't know if I had been there earlier in the dream or in a previous dream, or if the memories had just been manufactured. There was a long walkway that was crooked, rusting, and rotting. It looked very cool to me, but I didn't go on it since it seemed structurally unsound. There was also an old barn with a large loft. I looked into the glassless window and saw a minivan or an SUV backing up in the loft, and at first I was very confused, and then I remembered that on the other side, the ground floor is still used for stuff.

Ok I don't have the energy to write things in much detail, ok:

Eating a bunch of stuff with my friend, sulu appeared on a couch behind us along with some other guy (my dad maybe?), we were eating live "snails" by doing something to them (probably cracking their shell, but I can't quite remember), and then getting an egg from them. We'd cup the uncooked egg in our hands, put our lips to the yolk, and just slurp the whole thing up. I got two out of one snail, but they were both gross and weird. It was a low (black?) table, low enough that you were supposed to sit on the floor.

I'm looking for my friend by some indoor school bleachers (the bleachers are like ones I see indoors, but iirc, we were still outside). I think I see her halfway up playing pattycake with someone that I met that day, but when I go up there, I see that it's someone else. My friend has blonde hair and this someone else is brunette, so I'm confused about how I made this mistake in the first place. I comment on that to her, and she makes a sort of nonchalant "I dunno" noise, then walks off.

At another point I'm in a cave trying to capture a difficult-to-capture battle pet (from WoW) with my friend. My parents come and keep asking me about it and somehow I look back in time and see the history of the place. There is stuff about certain types of pets being more powerful about other certain types of pets, I learn things, there's an asian bowl thing, bla bla bla whatever.

At some other point Wander and Sylvia (from Wander over Yonder) have just had some time or adventure or whatever, but when they get back to where they had decided to settle down for the day and drop off their stuff, they were MORE excited for the food they were going to eat. I think I might have been one of them. If so, probably Wander.

I'm sitting at a table with a person that I don't remember what I'm doing with, and another person who is showing me the basics of how to handle a gun. It's a futuristic/alien-looking assault rifle. She says something like, "always keep it pointed straight down or straight up," (unless your firing at something is what she meant) "and always shoot a little to the right." (Since apparently drifting to the left when trying to shoot a gun was something everyone did) I say something like, "okay, but why are you teaching me the basics of handling a rifle?" And she says, seriously, "because you're going to need one." (or something like that). Then I'm thrown into this scenario where a bunch of people and I are in this stone courtyard with brick walls and looping barbed wire on top. I'm told(?) that some sort of monster/alien is coming in groups. I have no idea what it's going to look like. Someone shouts "there! up there!" or something like that, and I look and see a young man crouching on the top of the wall with a look of ill intent. I'm surprised to see that the creatures look so human.

He jumps down and attacks with inhuman abilities that I can't remember, and people are yelling and firing at him, and he's tough, so it takes a surprising amount of time for him to go down, given they're shooting him. This goes on as people call out where they've spotted the creatures, then they attack and we fire at them. We seem to be becoming overrun, though. There are just too many of them, and they're so powerful. Also, they keep shouting ominous things - especially to me, since they can see that I'm new - about how the people I'm with have tricked me; That I've got it backwards and they're the real good guys. I consider what they're saying, but don't think too hard on it for now. As the battle seems more and more lost for us, my view cuts to a supernaturally large, blue/white, ethereal-looking woman (rather like a cursed highborn from WoW or that kind of thing, really). I know that she's the leader of the group, and very powerful, with certain powers. She sees that the battle is doomed to us, so she does the only thing that she can. She raises a dagger and plunges it into her heart. This kills her, but it makes some sort of powerful thing happen that eliminates the attacking creatures.

Later, I'm in a sort of tiny town populated by these people out to defend themselves against the creatures. I think more about what they said to me during the battle, and I'm suspicious of them, but I just don't know how to really find out. Are the creatures the actual humans (albeit changed or with powers or whatever), and they're trying to eliminate this group in a proactive defense? Or possibly trying to save the people of this group from themselves/make them "see the light" or whatever? I don't know how I can tell. Afterwards, the new head of the group (a regular guy) shows me this white shelf-like thing he has on the outskirts of town under this arch. On it are a number of different small animals that look very agitated. He tells me that they're in the beginning stages of turning into whatever it is that the things we're fighting are, because it's really some sort of disease that can infect anyone/anything, even animals. He has them there to study the beginning stages of the disease. I object to this, but he says he's the leader, and he wants them, so he can have them.

Something about floating near this shelf in the ceiling and these cloth/plushie japanese food (I can't remember what it was other than it was that) are in the shelf, and somebody below me are saying they're his and he left them there, so I toss them down to him. It takes multiple tosses since a lot of it is just single-piece felt. They fall messily but I decide not to care because he was the one that accidentally left all these little pieces up here in the first place

I couldn't get myself to focus after waking up this morning and I think I ended up forgetting more than I remembered..

I'm looking through some of my Mom's old stuff from her teenage years in the small closet in the back room of the house. There are many CD's and even some vinyl records. There's a CD of something very exciting and old that I can't remember. There's an original record of classic late-20's swing by Buster Keaton (who was an actor irl, not a musician) whom I loved. I also love swing, so I was super excited to find this. I think there was one other interesting thing I found in there, but I can't remember.

Later, I'm trying to get ready to leave at the house - packing, brushing my teeth, etc. It's important that I do - iirc, my family and I are evacuating to somewhere safer, although I don't remember what we're running from. My brother was following me around the house, "messing around" in his terms but being very threatening and stress-inducing in mine. He kept physically making it very hard or impossible for me to get ready. When I finally made it out and regrouped with my parents, I told my mom what had happened. My brother tried to defend himself, saying I was too sensitive/overreacting and that he was just messing around. I told him seriously and truthfully that I was going to take self-defense lessons because of him. He got the point and was quiet and subdued for the rest of the dream that included him. There was something about finding a buried tank and that's apparently where we were going to hide from whatever was happening that was so dangerous. However, there was pretty much just enough room for all of us to squeeze down in there and wait for rescue. It looked unbelievably cramped and just thinking about going in there for who-knows-how-long stressed me out.

In a different dream(?) I'm walking sideways along a slope in deep snow, looking for someone. I reach a dead-end, and double back, where I meet my friend C and someone else whom I can't remember (I'm not sure I knew them in real life) (it might have been C's friend M, though). I think I see a place where the person I'm looking for might hide, in a thick tree, but M demonstrates that they already looked there, and that while it looked like a good hiding place, she showed that it was actually a bad one, and she was easily spotted. I wanted to go and look the way they had just been, but C told me no one was down there. I thought that the person we were looking for had to be on this "map", and it wasn't my way, so I was going to check her way anyway. I walked in that direction until the snow suddenly ended at the left side of my old elementary school. It was pleasantly warm there, like it was suddenly summer in that area. There on the pavement was the person we were looking for, along with some other people I can't remember. I found it curious that my friends didn't walk to the end of their side of the map before concluding that he wasn't on that side, as obviously if they'd just walked a little farther, they would have found him. At some point I was following footprints in the snow, but I can't remember when, or if it led me there.

In a different dream(?) I'm in a meeting of middle-aged to older men, and I'm Matt Murdock from Netflix's Daredevil. The meeting is just in an old room of somebody's house, with a long table with chairs squeezed in. The room has paneled wood walls and looks like it's out of the 70's. The meeting is over or I have to leave early - I can't remember which. I walk over to one end of the room to put on my shoes to leave. Beside me is a man in a suit sitting in an adult-sized Wild Thing, a purple spinning electric chair thing my brother and I had as kids. In the dream I could still see. Everyone in the room disliked me and thought I was a laughing stock. They (in mock friendly voices) told me I'd tied my shoes wrong and directed me how to fix them, in a way that tied the laces together. I pretended I was unaware, thanked them, and then said I'd go out to the driveway now and wait for someone to drive me home. I walked carefully so that my shoes didn't trip me up, all the while pretending that nothing was out of the ordinary. I got a little satisfaction out of thwarting their sabotage. On the driveway, the blonde woman from Daredevil (I don't remember her name) came and said she would drive me home. For a moment I felt bad making people drive me places when I could actually drive myself, but then I remembered that although I could see, I was still blind.

Writing this hours after I woke up so I don't remember much.. But I had a G/T dream tonight, which is very very nice, and I've had one or two other G/T dreams recently too, so that's A+..

There's this society of tinies that are in need of help, so I relocate them to this old rundown house that's been halfway reclaimed by nature already. The structure would provide them protection while the state of it would allow them to cultivate it as they see fit.. I stay for a little while and then leave.. I think there was 1-3 other people with me as well. Later, I come back, and a lot of time has passed. They're all happy to see me but maybe a little apprehensive about it, as I said I wouldn't be coming back. I don't remember what I was there for, but a tiny says to me that he's been struggling to grow enough food to feed his family, and he needs my help. I go into one of the rooms they don't use, which used to be a teenage boy's. There's a wide crack in the floor, and i dig through it until I find a couple handfuls of peanuts. Last time me and the people I was with were here, we knew there were peanuts around (we saw them on the "map" on the top right of our vision - which the dream had taken right from WoW) but we couldn't find them. I was very happy to give them to the guy. I knew that every peanut could be planted and would grow a plentiful peanut tree. A couple handfuls would be way more than enough for them at that size.

There was some other thing about a ride that was somehow the "equivalent" of Splash Mountain from Disney World. I think there was something to do with cats on it? It was significantly less scary for me, for one thing. Splash Mountain freaks me out IRL. There was a part that was equivalent to the end of splash mountain where you go down the hill and splash into the water, except we were actually underwater for a bit. This was kinda scary to me.

There were times during this dream (these times happen fairly regularly now) where I wasn't aware that it was a dream, but I was aware that I had some control over it, and that my expectation of reality affected reality itself. I used this knowledge to try and find a tiny out where it was more dangerous for them, at the bottom of the stairs (which were now the stairs at my house), and I was going to ask them what they were doing there, just because that would be a fun plot point or whatever. I struggled in making them appear, and I'm not sure that I actually succeeded. I think I must have to some extent, because I remember being surprised to see two children with the mother tiny, when I had just been trying to summon a single adult tiny.
