I Stand By My Ew

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that there’s a black cat flirting with my sister: he might be a cat, but he’s also a man. I grab him by the scruff of the neck and throw him outside. The window is open and my calendar (Murder, She Wrote themed if I remember correctly) flies out, landing on the grass of the park outside. I order my sister to keep an eye on it (“don’t lose sight of it even for a moment!”) and run out. The park is full of children picking up garbage for a school project. The calendar is nowhere to be seen. I grab the fence with both hands and beg them to look through their garbage sacks.

Then I dream that I’m banned from a wallpaper site after commenting “ew” under a Kylo Ren picture.

S. Has To Hide Her Girlfriends From Older Relatives IRL And That Is So Awful And Unfair

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream about a get together with my siblings and cousins, but we all get in a huge fight. My cousin G.’s cat needs oxygen now and it’s my sister’s fault (did she punch the cat??). G. sends over some of her friends to beat up my siblings and I, mom has to come over and beg them to stop. My cousin S. also has her face ruined, (did we punch her too????) Everyone is crying, including mom, and I yell,

This is because we are all EMOTIONALLY CONSTIPATED.

S. cries and says she doesn’t want to hide her wife from us anymore. She turns on the TV were her wife is giving a speech at the European Parliament. She is from a northern country and has a funny accent.

My Cat Is Sick And I’m Projecting

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m randomly messaged by a nice older girl on a forum. We decide to meet up on the beach, she asks about art, what are my favorite paintings? I show her a kiosk selling street art: my favorite painting is all of them, combined, all the nuanced colors they create together. We sit together on a rock, cuddling. I think I’m in love.

The next day I’m at school, not interested at all in the literature class I’m attending. We’re reading the first book of a trilogy (His Dark Materials, maybe?), I didn’t even bring my copy with me. What’s the point, I read it so many times already. The teacher is annoyed by my attitude, the other kids are astounded. I’m so glad I’m an adult with better priorities.

Beach girl invites me over to her place so I can meet her roommates. Wait, roommates? Maybe I totally misunderstood her and she’s straight after all. Suddenly shy, I refuse to go and send my cat instead. I have to go to school and sit through a Harry Potter movie with dozens of TV ads. I’m again pretty annoyed and yelling my displeasure at the big screen. In the movie, the actors are digitally de-aged to look like children, it’s rather uncanny valley.

My cat gets lost on the way home. She finally arrives chased by five other cats, black and white like her. She’s so scared, and I love her so much and feel so guilty. The five cats are rattling the balcony window, we can see their silhouettes behind the white curtain, they’re terrifying.

Disappointed To Wake Up With No Car. Also TW Animal Suffering

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream about a mom with two small children, brother and sister. The little girl has a kitten, she doesn’t want to leave it behind but her mom puts it inside a box, tells the daughter “it will be fine”.

It is of course not fine and the kitten suffocates and dies. He turns into the angry ghost of a child, he kills the two little siblings and they turn into ghosts too.

I dream that it’s my birthday and one of my aunts buys me a new car and a Nintendo switch. My brother is jealous and steals the switch.

The Amazing Peeing Cat

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m running late for school, I get quickly dressed in an oversize pink t-shirt and jeans. My mom is waiting for me in the car, she’s driving. Wait, I say, I think I got my period. I rush back inside and to the bathroom. My jeans are a mess. As I’m stripping down my cat jumps on the toilet and starts peeing, a focused, almost painful expression on her face. It’s too late to get to school by now. My parents ask me why I didn’t go, I change the subject and tell them everything about the cat instead.

Now I’m in bed with Corona. I feel fine, I don’t have any symptoms, but my test came back positive and and now I have an app that counts down the days until I die. I’m terrified, I don’t want to die, but all I can do is lie in bed and wait. Six days pass, nothing happens. Maybe there was a mistake? Hopeful, I venture out of bed. My legs feel weak, out of practice. I peek into the living room, ask my family if I could maybe go back to the hospital and be tested again? They tell me to go back to bed and wait to die in silence.

Some Mornings I Struggle To Remember Anything, Others There’s All These Vivid Details That Have No Logic In Them Whatsoever

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m a Hobbit, but Middle-Earth is empty and destroyed. My friends and I fought the Nazguls, our throats were slit and we woke up as modern humans. Our land is still there though, in a parallel dimension at the other side of my school. Sometimes when students ride their horses they can see the horses of Middle-Earth running on green meadows, alone and free, like they’re on the other side of a mirror.

Desperate for a way back, I locate a portal in NYC. My friend C. is there, she wants me to read her new novel. I tell her the story is a bit offensive towards Boris Johnson, doesn’t she know he almost died of Covid? Now she’s (UNDERSTANDABLY) mad at me. I take her back to my house and introduce her to all my cats, including a playful black kitten and two white and gray old fellas, they knocked over their litter box and it gave them a pink eye each.

My mother announces that my sister, her boyfriend and our neighbor S. (who as usual looks like a child) are all moving in. That upsets me so much I start insulting my sister via texts. I need to shower but I waste time being cruel to her, it gets late and people start coming inside the bathroom, because school is about to start and looks like this bathroom is the way in. I can’t close the door because the lock is a broken zipper and my cousin laughs at me for it.

I decide to use the smaller shower at my house. I throw everyone out, start to undress and feel a small hand grabbing my waist. I’m freaked out because that’s not my hand. It’s my neighbor, so small I didn’t notice him, hiding in the bathroom and being a creep. I throw him out too. Then instead of showering I grab my dad’s hair trimmer and give myself a haircut. The result is ridiculous, but I reason it’ll look okay once I get a perm.

One Minute Before Waking Up My Mind Gives Me This Mental Image, This Parting Gift

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that my cat is with me under the bed sheets. I realize there’s also a broken glass under the sheets, I yell and shove her out, but I’m not quick enough and her paws are now bleeding and full of glass shards. I start to delicately remove them with my thumb and index finger, her meows sound like long and pathetic howls, like she’s in unbearable pain.

In Which I’m Clueless

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that my sister has come back home and I can’t even remember if I’m supposed to be mad at her or not. Did we have a huge fight in this dream world too? Who knows. I just want to sleep and there are so many people that won’t leave me alone.

So I take my cat to an animal sanctuary. There are dogs and cats and even little pigs swimming in big water buckets. I’m taking a ton of delightful pictures when I notice they’re all blind. Is this a place for blind animals? Is my cat blind too? Again, who knows.

Ugly But Still Lovely

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that my house is full of kittens, ugly kittens, kittens covered in scars. Two little twin cousins come by and they are kittens too, but also children, they can talk and have pigtails and walk on two legs. I wonder why, if cats can talk, we don’t teach all of them.
