can't sleep so i'll ramble about my last 2-3 nightmares

i'll start off with a content warning for those who scare easily because it might be a bit unsettling or disturbing for some..

    dream 1

okay so my first dream started off with me walking into this salvation army esque thrift store except it was owned by this short hispanic guy who probably was wearing flannel? i was just shopping around when i noticed there was a door open that lead to the back. me, the curious being i am, decided to go there even though i knew i probably shouldn't have been there. there were these two twin girls playing with little toys that they probably stole from the toy section. they were both blonde, but one had a facial deformity which made her easy to differentiate from her twin sister, but otherwise they looked pretty much the same (i dont remember what each twin wore but one was wearing a yellow sundress with pink polka dots) in the dream i feel like i recognize them but i dont know where, and the twins dont really acknowledge me, they just keep on playing. its kind of weird but in that part of the dream the scene just kind of froze for a second like i was taking a frame of that moment to save it for later. afterwards i left because i was feeling uncomfortable about something, which i assume was the iffy feeling i got that was like 'hey, i don't think i should be here' and when i walked out of the room, i saw a cat playing with an item that was on the floor. i think i pet him for a while and either i can't remember the rest of the dream or woke up before it ended. 

       dream 2 (sequel)

       NOW the next dream is like a sequel to this dream and it has a pretty tragic ending. i was walking around this mall by myself, and it was lowkey like american dream because american dream is cool and all but because of how big it is, there are like rlly populated areas, and then there are those areas that are eerily empty. so it was pretty empty for a mall, and then i walked up to this shop that was selling something, i dont remember what exactly but it was something sweet like ice cream or fro yo. i was waiting in line behind a mother and her child and i think we stuck up conversation, which led her to mention something about a news headline, and showed me her phone. the headline was about two twin girls found dead after being reported missing for a while. so apparently from my dream lore, they were kidnapped by a really irresponsible guy who owned a thrift store, and he kept those girls in the back doing who knows what to them. i remember after seeing the news headline i like clapped my hand over to my mouth and started tearing up, i felt rlly sad for those girls.

       dream 3 (no relation)

       this was like 20% of the dream i had last night because 30% of it was of dream 2, and the rest of what was in between these two dreams i cant remember besides really specific snippets of what happened. we were in this small apartment that very vaguely resembled my old house. it didnt even have the same layout, it just had the same vibe that it did when i would wake up just before the sun had finished rising and the sky is that deep color of blue that gave my house a sort of gloomy feeling. anyway im pretty sure the sun was actually setting in the dream because like there was this monster that was like the monster in 'a quiet place' except it would just come out at night and if you hadn't locked yourself into a bedroom in your house, you'd be toast--no noise involved. so i was preparing for the night, but my bedroom's lock was rlly faulty, so i rushed into my parent's bedroom which my brother was in too because he was 4 years old in this dream for some reason. and we locked ourselves into the room and turned off the lights and just anxiously tried to go to sleep

anyway i hope u guys found these dreams interesting. sometimes i like how vivid my dreams are but other times like this it just keeps me sort of ruminating about them o_09
