Super Protective Big Sister

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m staying at my old schoolmate’s. I briefly wonder why I’m at her childhood house when she’s a grownup and married now, but I decide she must have divorced. Everyone goes to sleep but I’m not tired and the sun is still up, so I sit outside with a book. It’s a beautiful place, there’s fields all around me and a stream murmuring in the distance, I want to take so many pictures tomorrow. A guy filming a nature documentary walks by, I wave at him. A dog sniffs me.


I hear screaming and go inside. My friend’s mom has seen my brother with his boyfriend and she’s spawning homophobic s**t now. I look her in the eyes and say that she disgusts me. I collect my stuff and leave.

Visiting an Old Friend

Posted on by Decade Dream Journal

IRL I have a penpal of almost 10 years, C. I never met her in person, but in tonight’s dream I go visit her for apparently the second time, I’m on vacation from work and I’m gonna spend a week with her.

She hugs me so tenderly, because after all we’re in love and neither of us will admit it, and she invites me to her school. I watch her play some sort of nerd game, kinda like Quidditch, then we go to class together. I think the lesson is rather easy, we learn about smaller or greater math numbers, but afterwards the teacher says something truly offensive and homophobic and C. and I storm out of the room.

She walks me to her house, where her dad –a man with a truly impressive mustache– hugs me. Her mom and grandma are very lovely and welcoming, they make me olive pizza. I notice there is no drinkable water anywhere in the house, but they have a kitchen cabinet full of alcohol and soda bottles. As we’re eating, another grandmother appears at the table. She’s a ghost, and also she looks uncannily like my mom.
