Old Grudges, Old Crushes

My sister comes back home because she broke up with her boyfriend, I am SO not okay with sharing a room with her again. In her bag there’s a lot of my stuff she must have stolen in the past, like my Bluetooth speaker. I yell that I won’t let her stay with me, and drag her bed away.


I go to my boss to explain why I can’t possibly come back to work even when the lockdown is over. While I wait for her I sit and chat with my old coworkers, when I see at a nearby table M., the girl I had a crush on in elementary school (it was actually middle school IRL, but apparently not so in my dream). M. is as beautiful as I remember, with olive skin, amber hair and deep brown eyes. She’s with her friends and hasn’t noticed me, so I decide I’m gonna wear all pink to look as pretty as I can. I wear a Chibiusa wig, but it’s too heavy and I take it off immediately. My own hair comes off with it, and I’m now a balding middle-aged man.

Landlords Are Generally Evil

I’m looked in the bathroom and I have a toddler and a baby with me, they’re brothers. The older one is two and his name is William, he has pooped on his brother’s face and his diaper has flown out the window, so I’m scrambling to get them both cleaned. I end up having to call my mother for help, she’s very surprised at how I seem to have acquired two children. We carry them to my bedroom and there are two birds trapped inside, flapping around madly, a pigeon and a seagull.


I need a bottle of frozen water, there is a vending machine on the street outside my house but it isn’t working. I go look for a freezer in my basement but I get lost, my cat is with me and we run when we see the landlord is chasing us. I hide in an apartment that looks like it’s been the set of a psychological thriller. Then I finally reach home and run inside my room, I put headphones on and hit play on a discman just as the landlord walks in. I’m now a teen boy with curly hair, the landlord takes me under his wing and becomes the father figure I never had.


There’s a tweet trending, it’s an old Russian farmer complaining about her land owner. She films a video where the land owner is seen on a tractor destroying her fields and cackling like a villain. I’m very confused because the video is stop motion and obviously fake, but nobody else on Twitter seems to notice.

Round and Brown

I remember a collection of chocolate pralines, each with unique flavors like chewing gum, very American. They belong to my brother, but I’m also a little orphan and I’m trying to steal them with the other children at the orphanage, hoping the nuns won’t catch us.

Then I dream that we have guests over for dinner, the aunt and uncle I hate, and the next morning there is poop all over mine and my sister’s floors.

Some People Are Just Rude, Okay?

My sister is at home and we hate each other, what a surprise. She’s making a scene because I took some books she also wanted to read, and I’m so upset that she went straight to tantrum instead of just asking.

The books are about Gentleman Jack, I’m also watching the show and taking part in the casting process. The casting director is rude to one of the actors and I defend him, because she could have said a polite no instead of laughing to his face.

My cousin calls to remind me I’ll be back to work on May 18th. I keep hoping for an extent of the lockdown but it never comes. One of my coworkers says I’m gonna need my strength and shows me what she’s eating, it’s literally a sandwich stuffed with a giant marshmallow.

Something about…

Something about being so upset I’m just crying on the floor, and everyone is ignoring me because my family cannot fulfill my emotional needs.

Something about being a stranded time traveler who finally finds a time machine and goes to visit a lonely man in a little space ship and then goes back to the year 1957.

Something about a man making a deal with Death to get family and fortune, promising he’ll be happy in return. He’s not happy so he gets turned into a garden gnome. Death’s name is Leonard.

Lonely And Quarantined

Once again I dream about having a girl over, she has black hair and is round and soft. We change in our pajamas and all I want is to caress and kiss her skin, touch her breasts under the fabric, but she’s too restless to sit down and give me what I want.

My mother is in the living room and she teases me about hearing my bed creaking. I tell her nothing happened, which is the truth, and shes a annoyed because I’m too “unflappable”.

I go back to my room and the girl is gone, and I can’t remember her face anymore.

Why Is This All So Familiar Even Though It Never Happened In Real Life?

For a classic recurring dream of mine, it’s the last day of high school and I’m older than my classmates because I failed the year a few times. I’m an awkward loser, but the other kids have grown fond of me because they’re convinced I’m a boy…?

On my way home −not wearing a mask and feeling guilty about it− I meet my late Grandpa P., he’s very sweet and caring, unlike in real life, as he earnestly asks me about my job prospects. Under my arm I carry a goodbye present my classmates have left me with, a wooden box full of tweezers, razors, nail clippers and other grooming tools. I find it all so very useful and I want to thank them, but the generic messaging app on my phone doesn’t seem to work.

I’m Thinking Body Swap

I can’t remember much, something about children swapping bodies of killers and criminals to solve conflicts and save the day. I’m worried about all those criminals that found themselves in the children’s bodies, wouldn’t their families be in danger?

Future Girlfriend

I meet a girl and I already know we’re gonna end up dating. She has long brown hair, glasses and an aquiline nose. Not too beautiful, but I like her.

We sit at the desktop in my bedroom to read and chat, she sees some dust on the nightstand and says I’ll have to be cleaner if we are to hang out. She eyes my bed and says she doesn’t like the way it’s positioned, that’s where I’ll have to put my foot down.

She’s got some quirks and is a bit annoying, but so am I. We’ll have to work this out because I’m lonely and I want a girlfriend so badly.
