I've been having weird dreams and nightmares since I gained consciousness. I used to be scared of going to sleep because of how bad it was and I would frequently wake up in the middle of the night absolutely terrified. For awhile it stopped (we're talking like five years of nothing but the occasional good dream) but now it's coming back. It's making me not want to sleep and for someone who is always sleepy that's not fun. I figured I might as well start writing my dreams down and sharing them, keeping them to myself is boring.
So today I took a nap, I didn't mean to but I suddenly got really tired and couldn't keep my eyes open. I remember 'waking' up in my bed, everything was seemingly normal. I checked my phone because I had been expecting a text from my best friend and saw nothing. Figured bestie was just busy and started scrolling Instagram. I eventually got bored and decided to look at the app store for a game to keep my interest for a few days. I found two, One was like this darker version of Stardew Valley. I actually remember having a dream that reminded me of that game but that's not important right now. I installed the game immediately because I love Stardew Valley and the game had captured my interest. I don't remember the other one much but It had to do with dragons (which looking back parts of it somewhat reminds me of another dream, a reoccurring one this time, I've had but I can't say for certain considering I don't really remember the game).
So with both games installed on my phone I started playing the Stardew one, I had fun before moving on to something on my computer. I think I wanted to know more about the games, I don't really remember. After awhile I fell asleep again. This time when I woke up I checked my phone again and found it had completely changed. It was my phone for certain, same phone case, phone charm, and pop socket. The only issue is everything about the way I have my phone set up had changed. My lock screen was now a picture of my ex and all my widgets on my lock screen were gone. My password still worked so I opened my phone to check and it was weird. My background was the same as it is right now but my widgets had been changed to widgets that looked straight out of the two games I installed. Something in my brain decided those games had to have installed a virus on my phone so I went to delete them. I couldn't find either of them though so I used the little search bar to search for apps.
When I found the Stardew game (which I remember having a name like Wytch something) and tried deleting it the game opened. I couldn't close out of the game and I couldn't shut my phone off either. I tried shutting my phone off my that didn't work. At that point I thought to myself 'I must be having a nightmare' I've had similar nightmares before so I wasn't shocked. I decided the best way to make this go away was to go back to sleep. I thought when I woke up I would have actually woken up and everything would be back to normal. It was not, I woke up and excitedly checked my phone hoping for everything to be fine but it wasn't. My heart dropped. I checked my computer, I wanted to look up these games to find out what was going on except my computer was all messed up too. It kept opening the second game instead of google and so I gave up and tried shutting it down. Guess what? It wouldn't let me shut my computer down. I just closed it and went back to trying to fix my phone. I tried to look for the dragon game in my games folder (which took a second to find sense my phone had been rearranged) and when I opened my games folder it was full of pictures of this stupid dragon game. I eventually found all my games stored in the folder but I still didn't see the dragon game or the Wytch one. Suddenly my phone started going back in the folder and stopped on what was now a video add for the dragon game.
I couldn't pause it and I couldn't get rid of it so I had to watch it. It was like one of those stupid ads that's nothing like the game. It said something about 'pick a dragon, grow your bond with it, and save the princess!' When it finished it's spiel it shut off the video and opened the game. At this point I threw my phone across my room, I was getting really sick of this. Soon I made up my mind and went to grab my phone to take downstairs and finally show an adult my situation. When I picked my phone up and turned back around I saw a second TV in my room. It had replaced my wall fan and was aimed directly at me. That freaked me out. So I turned it to face away from where I was just like my actual TV had been. Then suddenly there was a THIRD FREAKING TV that was sitting on one of my shelves and all the stuff on the shelf had disappeared. I knew this wasn't real, It couldn't be, TVs were magically appearing in my room and seemingly watching me. I said it out loud too, I said "This isn't real, this is just a nightmare." I don't know what I was thinking, maybe telling the world I knew this was made up would finally allow me to wake up for real? I don't know. It doesn't matter either because it did nothing. With growing frustration I marched downstairs and found my mom. I tried talking to her but she kept hushing me because my brother was talking (not really usual because my mom would see how stressed out I am and immediately help me). At that point I tried talking to my sister who was also in the living room and she told me to bring my phone to her so she could look at it. As I tried walking over our dogs crowded me. Two of them I knew were ours but there were two extras I knew weren't ours. One looked like a Burmese mountain dog puppy and the other was black and white (I couldn't tell what breed). I was so confused so I asked why we suddenly had two extra puppies when we already have a puppy who's a handful.
My grandma suddenly appeared and said she decided to get them. I got super distracted with the dogs for a while because the black and white one looked so much like the puppy we had that had passed away in November. He was the one that was really all over me, like kept crawling in my lap then jumping out and coming back. At some point my mom finally came over and asked what I needed so I told her about my phone, showed her it and how it was all messed up. For a bit we tried finding the apps but we couldn't.
Then I woke up. Like actually woke up this time (finally). I checked my phone and those texts I was expecting from my bestie had come in (unfortunately we will not be playing games tonight because she's busy) and my phone was back to normal.
