    Dream No. 684 - The Other Plant Nursery


    I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, my mum, brother and I had pre-booked tickets to see a movie. I was the one driving us to an old styled cinema in a small town. I had an idea of where I wanted to park, but either my mum or my brother (I’ve forgotten which one) told me to park where ‘The Brass’ would normally park. I ended parking in their area, though I was relieved because there also seemed to be other public patrons parked there as well.

    We then ended up inside the cinema and my dad was with us well. I can recall that were waiting to see a film that was sort of a cross between Ice Age and Star Wars. As were waiting to go inside the theatre, there was a lady that seemed to catch my attention. She seemed like a very nice person and was asking me to do something for her; to sing something or learn something to sing for her. Before we were going to leave the area, I recalled that I had to see that person (her name was stated in dream but I have forgotten it). The dream then changed scenes.

    For the second scene, I was at my house and was trying to invite people over to a party that I was hosting. First of all, on my brother’s phone, I managed to contact someone with the identity of ‘Farting Tart’, we ended up having a small conversation but I forgot what it was about. I then scrolled down my brother’s contacts to see who else he had on his phone and I was surprised to see that he had Riku’s number. Even though it felt strange that Riku was more connected to my brother in this instance, I decided to send him what seemed to be an awkwardly short text to invite him to the party. When the text was sent though, this energy descended upon me, hinting that Riku was actually likely to make an appearance later in the dream.

    I was then at a familiar shopping centre with my family, but then it was distorted enough so it felt like an unfamiliar shopping centre. I forgot what we were specially doing at the time, but I remember we went into Target and we saw a set of elevators in the store. My brother said that in order to see his friends, we had to go down them. I was wondering why we had to go down when we were pretty much already on the ground floor, but then I figured this could have been a way to enter into another dimension.

    The dream skipped showing us going down the elevator but it felt like we were in this so called ‘dimension’ when the dream shifted scenes. It was just me and my brother as we were the only ones that supposedly went down. We ended up in this large but beautifully antique area of shops, almost like Sovereign Hill. We ended up walking past the local Lindt Cafe and went inside to see what we could snag.

    Inside the shop, the lady at the counter seemed to be normal, but also to be very cold and somewhat scheming. I found a hot chocolate whisk that I liked and brought it to the counter. When the lady calculated it, with my brother standing beside me, she said that the item would cost $41.63 and I immediately stopped her, claiming that it a rip-off. I then turned to my brother as I said that the one we got from an IRL chocolate shop (which is actually a true story) was only $5.00. The lady said that she would reconsider and charge us as if were buying 2 for 1; however, the price ended up not being cheaper, but rather more expensive, showing $56.58 on the computer. I was outraged.

    Through feeling, I noticed that I had screwed up my face at the lady. As I held the whisk to my brother, it showed pieces of chocolate falling of it; as if the chocolate had already melted, the actual fault is hard to describe. I then let the lady have it; I told her that she was going against consumer law. I specifically stated that goods to be abiding by consumer law, they had to be fit for purpose, as well as that they had also to match the description. I then pointed vigorously at the collapsing chocolate whisk as I said to the lady “this does not match the description”. I then stormed out of the shop as I was then on my own but bumped into my university friend RV and told her about what nonsense I had just experienced, explaining the principles of consumer law to her as well.

    By myself again, I entered this nursery shop which sold all these plants and other gardening supplies and there I seemed to join up with my old high school friend JSa. It felt just like the old days in real life, we walked around, looking at all the different plants while we spoke and I tried to make her laugh. At one point though, something caught my eye. On a high counter in a corner, there was a small green hologram of Riku’s face, suggesting that he was somewhere present in the dream. I left JSa where she was and went by myself to investigate.

    It didn’t take long before I saw a middle aged man wondering around the nursery, he was a large build and was wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt and medium washed denim jeans. Although this looked, and sounded, like a completely different person, there was this energy always pulsating from him to tell me that this was in-fact Riku. From my end of the store, I yelled out “Riku!”, numerous times, but the man kept on ignoring me. The man, however, started walking away and so I had to walk quickly to catch up to him. As he kept walking, I tried to grab his attention; “Riku, please! Wait!”; he kept on going. I knew what was going on. He didn’t know who I was or what my intention was, so he was probably thinking, in-fact hoping that I’d just go away and leave him alone.

    I realised that he was about to enter into a ‘parallel’ version of the nursery as I was supposedly in the ‘real life’ version of the nursery and we was going to enter back to where he was, being the ‘dream’ version of the nursery. Before he went into the other one, I ran as fast as I could, saying with urgency, “Riku, I’m your dreamer, I’m here to help you” as I then finally caught him, hugging him from behind, putting my hands on gently his sides and so he was forced to stand still but had an energy radiating off him like he was annoyed, and like he was still doubtful to trust me, like anyone would want to help him. Once I let go of him, he crossed to ‘the other side’ and so I had to make a decision, whether I’d stay where I was, or go to Riku’s version of the nursery but that meant I had to leave JSa behind and perhaps wouldn’t be able to return.

    I carefully made my choice and ended up going to pursue Riku. I caught him in the back corner of the ‘other’ nursery and he grumbled something at me, I forgot what he said, but it was in this deep, overly Southern, hunter like voice. But I kept deflecting what he said and kept reassuring him about who I was and that I was there for him. Eventually he stopped babbling but still didn’t sound happy. He did say though that I had to work for him and it sounded like he was going to put me through a tough slog.

    Reluctantly, I agreed but then also told him as a dreamer that I wanted him to carry me and I taught him how he could do it, telling him that ‘the laws don’t exist’ (meaning the laws of gravity and other physics). He took a deep sigh and then stood slightly bent over, with his back to me, insinuating that I climb onto his back. Once I secured myself, he lifted to stand up straight again, and although he wasn’t holding me at all (and neither was I holding onto him him), I didn’t fall off. Still with a subtle energy of annoyance, he walked over to where the supposed ‘work’ was.

    When we got to the bench, Crash Bandicoot also appeared, in his wacky crazy demeanour just as he’s portrayed in the IRL games; also, Crash was not distorted in appearance, unlike Riku who heavily was. However, the distorted Riku didn’t seem to be too happy with his companion at all; in-fact it felt as if Crash Bandicoot was with him as a replacement because Sora was still missing in Kingdom Hearts. As Riku was giving me instructions on what to do, Crash kept making these manic noises and ‘spun’ himself into the distance. Catching Riku’s attention, he looked over at Crash and said to me in his weird Southern voice, something like “that bandicoot’s done nothing at all”.

    There were three ‘trays’, one on each side of the bench, and Riku told me that I was to fill them with the fertiliser that was in the bag on the bench. There was barely any fertiliser in the trays and that was supposedly what Crash had already done. I thought Riku was being a bit harsh towards me and still wasn’t convinced that he was being a good dream guide; so I said I’d do it, but that he had to still carry me. He tried complaining but I quickly interrupted him and told him he could carry me between trays. So using the same method as he did before, he got me on his back and moved me between the trays. However, I realised I could do my job properly as the fertiliser in the bad had turned into some sort of cut up capsicum and tomato salad mix, but I filled the tray with this to show that I was trying.

    When I finished the last try, I told Riku that I was done. He didn’t look impressed but then as his dreamer, I politely told him that I did the best I could. He went over to look in the fertiliser bag and he seemed to have a slight change of heart when he saw that I had indeed emptied it. He sighed and said, “let’s just leave it to someone who knows what they’re doing”, insinuating that the distorted Riku felt at fault for the group’s project failure.

    However, he brought a try full of water and told me that he wanted to drain it. Without enough time to say anything, he put it on my dress, so now my dress would get dirty. As he was lowering the try, I panicked as fast as I could, like “Riku what are you doing!? You’re going to make my dress wet!”. but as I said, he just put it there without a second thought. I sighed as I realised and told him, “It’s okay Riku, remember the laws don’t exist and so my dress should be try in no time (rather than staying dirty and wet)”, and indeed, the dream camera showed my dress and it dried immediately, with no stains left behind either. I saw that I was wearing a teal and white chequered design.

    After that, Riku prompted me to come with him as he was supposedly going to jump through the huge portal on the wall to go to Kindgom Hearts. Although his distorting was still making him nasty and sour, I felt an energy from Riku like he now appreciated me as his dreamer, like I had finally showed him that I was enough. He still wasn’t happy with Crash though and as Riku was helping me through the portal, Crash was skipping towards it himself, still making his stupid ‘hannah montana’ noises. I had a feeling within me that as soon as we got to the other side, Riku’s distortion would lift off. However, before we could even touch the portal, the dream ended.
