I dream that my siblings have hired some blonde woman to make a video presentation about my grandma. We sit down to watch it and it’s made with the Sims 2, it’s amateurish and frankly offensive. I raise my hand because I’m really angry and I want to criticize it, the blonde woman realizes this and runs away. I run after her through town until I see her going inside a big beautiful house. I follow her into a large country kitchen where an old woman is rolling dough. I live her my phone number so her family will listen to my criticism.

Same, Girl, Same.
I dream that it’s the last day of school (but it’s May! I think privately); some sort of guerrilla is once again happening outside the building. I go home and I’m welcomed by a basket of rescue kittens: oh, right, I should bring them to the vet at some point. I sit down to play Sims, my current family has a child with green skin and a “hate teenagers” personality trait. Indeed, she kills a teen, and I have to move the whole family next to a beach amusement park.
Snippets! Or Maybe One Long, Disjointed Dream
I’m watching Smallville with my neighbor. He tells me he’s in 7th grade.
My dad goes to the hospital. Nobody can figure out whats wrong with him because they’re so overwhelmed and understaffed.
I find my brother installing Sims mods on my computer. “How the hell did you get my password?!” I demand. “I used Laura’s account” he says. Who the hell is Laura?
I sneak into a building to try and steal a key. An old lady notices me, I pretend I live there and just lost mine. She helps me search until I pretend to give up. I leave and she leaves too, we both walk in the same direction which is embarrassing, so I start running.
I’m playing Papers, Please but now it’s an elaborate Japanese RPG, there’s a king and queen and generals I can romance. I’m trying to operate a cannon and struggling with the controller when I wake up.
I’m Also Stingy In Real Life
I dream that I’m giving English lessons to a young Russian mobster. He arrives late, but he seems quite invested in my teachings. I start with the alphabet, then go into a short story about a summer camp murder. He wants to keep reading but Kira Nerys plants her hands on the table and says time is up.
Then I dream that my brother sends me a link to a Sims CAS mod that will apparently improve my experience drastically. The site is subscription based and I balk when I see it’s 11 pounds a month. How much is that in regular money?! I have no idea but I’m sure it’s too much. The mod looks so nice though… I cave in and I’m filling the subscription form when my alarm rings.
Apparently I Wrote This Down And Fell Back Asleep
I dream that I’m playing the Sims. My elderly couple ( bald woman, braided hair mustached man) is about to die, and I want to move their son to another city. He adopts a little girl without mt permission, they’re having a picnic, being chased by bees. It’s out of my hands, they’ll have to stay.
That Mask Dream Keeps Happening
I dream that I’m in a car and my mom is driving, she’s not wearing a seat belt and keeps going to the backseat at every traffic light, I’m very uncomfortable.We stop at an old lady’s house, she’s a Sim and her name’s Sylvia. She’s also a trans lesbian. I know all of this because I watched the Sims trailer.
We get to the market where my two grandmas (including the one that now’s dead) are waiting for us. It starts raining so I cannot walk to the stationary store like I hoped to. Nobody is wearing a mask, they don’t care anymore.
Could I BE More Predictable?
I dream that I’m playing the Sims. I rotate through different families, there’s a couple trying to solve a murder and there’s one that is moving back to their parents’ haunted house.
Outdated Technology
I’m in a hotel bathroom taking out my contacts at the sink, they are green and gross but I get a weird pleasure from wiping them out.
My mother has bought me a cell phone, it’s red, vaguely horse shaped, and has a black and white LCD screen. In other words, it’s crappy and I’m a bit angry at her for wasting money on it.
They said it was a good phone on TV!
she explains, mortified.
Playing around with it I find a cool retro Sims game (with girls kissing!) and also a pretty impressive 8000 mAh battery. Now I kinda want the phone for myself but mom has promised it to my sister instead. I’ll have to apologize to her, won’t I?
Family Trip
I’m at gran’s house, my siblings and my neighbor S. are with me. I’m playing the Sims and really getting into the game, but alas I need to turn off the computer and go home. We all climb into the car, I have some trouble closing the door.
We stop at an old beautiful building, something like a renaissance villa. There’s a comic book exhibit inside, we all take some time to visit it and at the end I ask my sister,
Does every artist really have to illustrate King James Bible at some point?
She says yes.
We arrive in town, outside the park there is a policewoman asking for everyone’s permission slips. She’s angry at us for being all out together, and she’s right, I think, that’s quite odd during a lockdown, what were we thinking? She finally allows us to go home, and as I start walking I notice that both my siblings and neighbor S. are turning into children, like we used to be when we played all together in this very park. My brother grins at me and jumps up and down. His hair is blond just like back then, and everything is beautiful.
Thieves
I’m playing on a PlayStation 2, the smaller kind, just like the one I used to have twenty years ago. I’m playing The Sims and have downloaded a bunch of NSFW mods, like, truly filthy.*
The morning after I see my siblings chuckling and I realize they know. Somehow, they know about my shameful virtual pastimes. But how could they? They must have been stealing my PlayStation while I was outside!
I’m so angry I grab my sister by the throat and slam her to the floor, I want her to confess she used my videogames. She chuckles again, says the PlayStation was hers to begin with. I yell that I bought all the expansions!! I wasted so much money!!** The game is my God-given right!!!
Gran is here, all dressed up because one of my uncles died and they are all going to his funeral (jeez, I hope I actually extended his life instead!). I take the chance to hide the PlayStation parts around the house, hoping that my siblings won’t find it.
I go into my room and my sister is in her bed, pretending to sleep but fully dressed. I’m very suspicious. My bed is upside down, for some reason.
*I did that IRL too, guilty as charged.
** Again, true.
