Feels Familiar But It’s Actually Not

Posted on June 29, 2021 by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m trying to hijack a building with my cousin and the whole thing feels like a deja vu. We ride up to the 45th floor, then pose as workers and hang posters on the elevator saying it’s broken and to use the other one. So far so good. We get in the elevator and my cousin pushes a button. “We’re supposed to be going up, not down,” I say. “I want to see the ocean,” she replies.

On the 44th floor there’s a vast open space covered in luxury swimming pools, it’s a sight to behold. The residents are all over, laughing, playing, swimming. We pass a waterfall, it’s artificial but it feels like the real thing; we keep walking, and I say, “Where are you going? We’re on a rooftop!” My cousin silently points at the stone path we’re walking on, and indeed we’re somewhere different. It starts raining.

Small Anxieties Combined

Posted on June 16, 2021June 16, 2021 by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that it’s the last week of school and I’m doing an internship in a really big building, almost a skyscraper. I don’t really like the job, it’s a bit too corporate and heartless, but my cousin is there of course and she’s not letting me go home until I clean my room; my own bed is indeed on the ground floor.

That night I play a videogame set in the same building, I find a secret room full of pizzas but my HP bar is full and I don’t have much use for them. The morning after I’m determined to find the same room in the real building, but I find a long line of sick people waiting outside the main doors. I’m not wearing a mask so I cover my face with both hands and beg to be let inside because I’m an employee. The ground floor has turned into a hospital and I can’t find my room anymore.

I’m Trying To Jot These Down The Moment I Wake Up, Results May Vary.

I dream that there’s some sort of civil war at my school and students are killing each other and turning into monsters. My cousin has my cat hostage and wants me to write her homework, instead I use my magic powers to teleport to a different school and pay someone to give me their book report. I fly back and look for my cat; a wizard is feeding her so when she’s fat enough he can kill her and make a hat with her fur. I challenge the wizard to a magic duel, I’m much better than him because I don’t need a wand, all I need is to wag my finger. My cat is saved.

Solutions For Real Life Worries Are So Easy At Night

I dream that I’m back at work, and both Boss Lady and my cousin are already pissed at me for being slow and overwhelmed. My anxiety rise and rise right to the point I decide to quit, and then a beautiful sense of calm and peace takes over me. Boss Lady is furious. You’re throwing away your life, she says. Look at me, I own a house!

And I saw a beautiful sunset yesterday, I say with a big smile, knowing that there’s something better than money out there. I get up and leave.

Then I dream that I’m going to see a vet about my cat’s gastritis. I travel to a beautiful countryside building that is some sort of university. The doctor is a middle aged woman with short auburn hair, I give her a surprisingly accurate recap of my cat’s issues, she gives me “pills” that look like bulbous roots.

I Typed Down This While Watching The Inauguration As Carelessly As Humanly Possible

Posted on January 20, 2021 by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m back at work, but instead of being inside the store I’m sitting on a narrow staircase in a building nearby, reading a book. An Ape scooter parks nearby, I recognize the two men stepping out −one old, one young with long hair− as former customers. The young man asks me if the apartment above is up for rent. This, I know, is the same apartment I used to rent back in college, that is now somehow the store’s property. I tell him no because I don’t like his face. He tries to push open the door, I look at my watch and it’s 12:45; the store’s closed, I say. He leaves.

My cousin and the other employees appear from the door soon after. I tell them about the long haired man, cousin says he can’t be trusted because he’s a union leader. We don’t take the bus to go home and instead walk down a mountain road, I try to take a photo of the landscape but shoot an Instagram video by accident, you can hear my cousin swearing in it, she’s not happy. She’s in a feud with some Peruvian street vendors over a broken CD they sold her, she’s trying to spot one so she can kick their ass.

I Also Had A Dream About A Mean Boy Killing My Mom With A Stapler But I Can’t Remember The Details

I dream that I’m competing in a game show that is apparently part cooking contest, part Ninja Warrior course. I’m happy because it’s the last day and there are only three contestants left, so even if I come in third place I’ll still win some money.

The first challenge is cooking carbonara, and I immediately panic because I don’t know how. My cousin, who’s also competing, tries to help me but I tell her to just go because I’m hopeless. I end up making a burrito, it does have tomato and cheese. Only one of the judges likes it, my final score is -1 points. There’s a judge who refused to touch my burrito altogether, she’s a singer who shares my name.

On to the next challenge, and now I’m that very singer, petite and with short black hair. I’m supposed to rope down a cliff, when suddenly the rope ties like a noose around my neck! The other contestants are in my same predicament, they’re flailing wildly afraid they’re gonna die. I find a strap that propels me down at breakneck (ha!) speed, and the others are quick to follow my example.

I’m the first to touch the ground and the finish line is near, but the other contestant are much faster runners, and now there’s four of us! With a desperate sprint I score third place, thank goodness. My cousin arrives last and she’s not happy about it.

And Again And Again

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that it’s the last day of school. There’s a young substitute teacher, I’m chuckling with my friends and he throws me out the classroom. Then he follows me along the hallway, trying to decide what my punishment should be. He said I will have to cook something, I lie and say I cook too much at home already. Now we’re inside an Ikea and he’s still following me, a security guard even asks me if I need help. I find my favorite blanket in a trash can.

It’s the last day of school again, I’m driving to class with my cousin, I tell her I’m gonna go work for our rival company and she says, do what you gotta do. The classroom is enormous and nearly no seats are empty, I finally find one right in front of the teacher. A girl offers me chocolate coffee, I refuse politely and immediately regret it. I notice everybody has Nintendo 3DS: why? Did I miss something? The teacher is a young woman with a blonde ponytail, I feel some obvious lesbian vibes. She starts talking and my alarm rings.

The Year’s Over And Nothing Of Interest Was Gained

Posted on December 31, 2020December 31, 2020 by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that I’m staying at Gran’s with my brother and cousin (who is vampire but that has nothing to do with the story). Gran goes for a walk and I want to go with her but I’m still in my pajamas. When I’m dressed up I instinctively board a train. I don’t have a ticket and I’m afraid I’ll be found out so I get off at the next station just a few minutes later. I find Gran at the station, I can’t believe she walked this far; she’s trying to board with a fake ticket so I drag her away. We go through a little market, I notice no one’s wearing a mask: they all think they are safe. My cousin is crossing the street nearby without looking where she’s going, a car runs her over, she’s so upset she throws herself at their window just to scare them. She’s immortal after all. I try to book a train ticket for my brother and I to go back home. I can’t seem to be able to type anymore.

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

Posted on December 21, 2020 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.

Job Hunting Anxiety

Posted on December 9, 2020 by Decade Dream Journal

I dream that (ex) boss lady has opened a supermarket right above the old store; it’s the same damn supermarket, the only kind that exists in my town. I’m hired not at all legally, when I get there I see a dead goat next to the entrance, she looks like she’s sleeping. She’s on sale, obviously.

My cousin is my acting tutor again, being a bitch as usual. Customers are rude as hell. I don’t know how to use the cash register.
