Entry 8 – Dream Entry [18/09/2025]

Hello, reader.

It has been a long while, again. The past two months have been… rough, to say the least. However, while I come up with an entry to *attempt* to properly explain all that, I’ll post a filler dream entry. This also, much like many of my dreams, reflects some recent events in my life. Notably, getting into Hardwarez by Master Boot Record (insanely good metal album, also by one of the Ultrakill soundtrack composers), pausing my re-read of Percy Jackson right before The Battle of the Labyrinth, and possibly this one small business bazaar that was about to happen in my region. Also I am writing this from my (new) laptop and downstairs, and the keyboard sure is flat. Anyways, let’s dive into the world of my dreams now, shall we?

Dream journal entry recorded on 28/08/2025. If you don’t know what a dream journal is, please check Entry 4 or look the term up elsewhere.

• Was attending the Olympian Council of the Gods
• But instead of being on Olympus, it was in this normal (kinda dimly lit) hall, complete with white/beige plastic chairs, in some school/horticulture centre thingy
• I was with a few of the other characters; I think Percy, some others from the first series, and mayyybe Nico
• At some point we took a break and went outside
• There were a lot of grassy areas, canopied shop stalls, flower gardens, and people studying said flower gardens
• At some point while on break I think I saw Master Boot Record (like the three of them) outside the hall entrance, but I didn’t go interact

• The council resumed
• I recalled how in the books it was mentioned how these go on for several hours (editor’s note: I cannot confirm whether they actually said this in the books in the real world but it felt like that in the dream)
• I went and sat down on one of the four corner seats to watch the council, with/next to some other familiar() faces [there is a small plan illustration here; depicting a square-shaped hall with two exit gates, one the west and one on the south wall, and seats arranged in an inverted U-shape; the place I sat was on the southwest end of the U]
• I think there was some other fun discussion I had with someone near me here but I forgor so it’s mostly irrelevant now

• And then I glanced outside the open double-doors and saw what was honest-to-god Vittorio D’Amore cosplaying a mix of Hades from Hercules and Severus Snape (editor’s note 2: to any Keygen Church/MBR fan who happens to be reading this, I am so sorry this is literally just what he looks like to my brain ;-;)
• Face painted blue, draped in dark robes, and holding a large black violin (possibly viola?), with an intense expression on his face
• I burst out laughing so hard that me and Percy(?) got kicked out
• We laughed a bit more outside, and then Percy started directing me towards the side door [it would have been open] (Vittorio had disappeared by now)
• On the way to the side door, Persephone showed up at the main door and invited Percy back in, and then slammed the door in my face
• She had pitch black skin and hair, with flowers inked? patterned? part of her skin? all over her; also with a white-mintgreen outline; short stature with gentle curves and long wavy hair

• After the double doors closed in my face, I flipped them off and decided on staying outside instead
• I explored the campus/area a bit more
• I found a kid/guy/student[presumably] holding a microphone (like a stage mic) near a table full of potted flower plants (there were a few people talking in the stalls nearby, plus occasional ambient noises) (I could hear like, a little bit of chirping(?) though [presumably the mic capture])
• He then went inside the nearby room and stated that he still couldn’t hear anything
• I had some suggestions to offer him, but the dream cut off here because I woke up
• The suggestions were: crank up the gain on both hardware and software, record in Audacity, apply soft distortion after recording, mute/soften the parts that have other noises

I also had a Solangelo-themed dream on 04/09/2025, but I feel like that got a bit personal at some points (plus possibly doxxing me (not rlly but it’s funny if I pretend it could)) so I will choose not to publish that as an entry here.

Finally, I hope this gave you some satisfactory hits of dopamine, just to fill the space until the next (and spoiler: possibly final) entry. Remember to try and take care of yourself through every terrible thing the world throws at you, because there is still a lot that deserves to be taken care of.
