I dream once again that my sister wants to come back home and I don’t want her, I don’t want to share a room with her. We yell and fight.

Why Is My Subconscious So Convinced I Don’t Have A Diploma
Several nested dreams. I ask my brother if he still has some old comics, the first time he says no, the second he says yes.
Then the same recurring dream. It’s raining and I’m late for school. I don’t have my books with me. I have an enormous zit on my face. I’ve skipped too many classes and my finals are looming nearer and nearer. I don’t want to take my finals, who cares about my high school diploma. I’m an adult with a job, for Christ’s sake.
My Uncle Lives There It’s Okay
I dream that my father wants to sell our mountain house, I’m so devastated I want to sabotage the whole operation. Four potential buyers arrive, dad gives them a fresh watermelon from our garden. “It’s not the best, but it’s homegrown,” he says.
One of the buyer is a beautiful old lady with long white hair. She comes over to say hi, she apparently follows my Instagram. I wonder if I can make her pity me enough she’d let me come back from time to time. She says she understands why I’m sad, I say, “How can you?! I was born and raised here!”
At the end the four visitors decide to buy the house together. They pay 200 bucks each.
I Love It When I can Remember So Many Details
I dream that I’m watching the new season of The Crown. The episode starts with the Queen visiting her son Andrew, he lives in a dark, dirty castle with his two little girls and wife. For some reason the actress who plays Fergie has giant fake lips.
We cut to Prince Edward, who is a young professor, hot but in a reassuring, glasses and sweaters kind of way. He meets his future wife and I find myself thinking it’s all very Notting Hill. A group of disabled students go to see him complaining that they aren’t allowed to take part in the school recital. Edward makes a phone call and the Queen and Margaret appear, this time as played by Claire Foy and Vanessa Kirby. The Queen winks at the students.
Next we see them all doing aerobics on a stage, wearing black leotards and leg warmers. Claire and Vanessa are really good dancers. Also Benedict Cumberbatch is on stage, it’s a fun scene but I’m wondering, it’s the 80s, what’s he got to do with anything? Shouldn’t it be Michael Jackson instead?
A new episode starts and the Queen, now played by Olivia Colman, comes along with me and my classroom on a school trip. We go up to the mountains, it’s winter and the scenery is a bit dreary. We come across a pretty lake, I want to take pictures but I have to run away when a wild goose starts chasing me.
We stop in a little village, our hotel has a 1 star out of 5 review but the Queen seems perfectly happy in her bedroom. I have some noodle soup and the next morning go back home. At the train station I realize some guys are following me. I hide in a church and text my dad for help. He replies that he’s not gonna get up from the couch and I’ll have to deal with it on my own. I text back,
If they rob and rape me it’s gonna be all your fault!
Eventful Holiday
I dream that I’m interning at a tobacco store but nobody seems to pay attention to me. The next day is a holiday, I’m at the beach wearing a bikini, with my feet in the water. My parents come pick me up, there are four starving kids on the beach and my mom buys them ice cream pops. I go home and up some stairs, hiding inside an incredibly tiny outdoor toilet. I place an old TV (the kind with antennas and a big butt) on the toilet seat, sit on the floor in front of it and proceed to watch Glee as I eat my lunch.
Who Was She
I dream that my old schoolmate G. buys a boat shaped liked a Star Wars spaceship, he pays it 2488 bucks. It’s so powerful it causes a tsunami.
The end of the world ensues. Now I’m one of three little girls who are also Destiny’s Child (I’m Beyoncé, of course). We hide in a store basement but the ceiling cracks and Tokyo Tower falls on us. The last thing I see is an ugly, bony blonde woman with a pointy face.
I have the power to time travel, so I go back to the tsunami and this time us three little girls hide in an abandoned subway station. As people start dying I see the blonde woman again. I need to remember her, she’s important. She smiles a mean smile and points at her watch. Time to wake up, she mouths.
I wake up.
Living The Dream
All I remember is that there are a lot of animals. Old stinky cats. A tiny tiger. A tray full of sleeping puppies. I take a picture of that one.
That’s Probably How It Went IRL too
I dream that I’m watching a random Buffy episode. I’ve never watched one before and I’m a bit bored. Buffy is pregnant. There are two guys fighting, une cuts off the other’s arm. To reiterate, the other guy saws off his legs.
Even Within Nightmares School Happens
I dream that I find live flies and crickets in my food, and I can’t eat anymore.
Then I dream that I drop my notebook, the one where I wrote down EVERY note for EVERY class of the year, from the stairs at school. I look down and see small children forming a queue in the hall, because apparently we’re sharing with them now. Stupid pandemic.
Then I dream that I’m out in town with my mother when I see a murder of black birds, thousands of them, looking spectral and scary, like they’re not of this world. As I film it they pick up a bird much bigger than them and eat it alive.
I Don’t Wanna
I dream that I’m in my bed, thinking about skipping school today, that’s gonna be fine. Then I remember that I’m an adult with a job. I slowly get up and I still don’t want to go. It’s raining outside.
My aunt, the racist lawyer, and her sister show up. I don’t want to see them, I try to jump off the balcony but that doesn’t work. I hide under my mother’s bed instead. My aunt bends down and finds me. I stab her, and stab and stab and stab. She is still alive, still smiling at me.
