eight week of my dream journal entries

Taking the car to a cabin in the Russian middle of nowhere with Austin, it's a trip of multiple days and we go right back home that same evening.

In the Philippines, visiting someone's extended family. I meet all of their cousins- one of them gets a hamster for new years and thei brother gets explosively angry for some reason.

Spike (from buffy?) and some other people are in a pool on the rooftop of an apartment complex in New York at night. They're holding a tournament sitting on floaties, holding airguns, shooting... things out of the sky? It's a little similar to mario party minigames. Spike messes the whole thing up by performing a vampire ritual; he scratches a girl's face with a detached fingernail and offers her his vomit (ewwww!)

Visiting Soup. We're watching movies in their garage and feeling super cozy (which is not at all how I remember them lmao). I ask them about their lack of response to a message that I'd apparently sent them, they show me that they in fact did respond on their phone but I can't find any actual proof of that.

Biking from the grocery store in town with Austin, making our way to the mall. It's in an ugly brutalist concrete brick of a building and we have to first make our way through a school to get to the shops. We get inside and are immediately caught in the middle of a preschooler drama; they're fistfighting over the corpse of a rat, absolutely tearing the poor bastard apart. I think we break the fight up but peace has not returned to the mythical land of toddler, nevertheless we press on. 

Moving through depressing stairwells we run into a horde of highschoolers engaged in an intense tournament to decide... something. We're pulled in, running through stairwells, attics and general abandoned liminal spaces, we end up in a sort of jungle gym/attic situation where I realize some of the highschoolers are actually old elementary school friends (aren't you guys like 20?). I walk up to Crisp but he doesn't recognize me, seemingly offended at the insinuation that he's supposed to know me. The fight continues and we have to keep the other team from finishing a sweater while traversing the obstacles- we do this by stealing the sweater and frogging the whole thing while we run.

In an endless cavesystem with two other adventurers (Indiana Jones/backrooms style). The walls are covered in moss and tiny light-up worms, when suddenly one of my buddies opens his backpack and out spills a laughibly big amount of muffins. He says we can't go back to the muffin room so we might as well take as many muffins with us as possible. We eat a few and abandon the rest (so what was the point of all that?). We make our way deeper, the place doesn't feel real (more like a zoo enclosure?) but I know we're impossibly deep underground. I don't think there's an exit and I'm not completely sure there's ever been an entrance either.

In the same town as yesterday, I run across Spike and Buffy in Spike's shitty little car. They're very friendly, laughing and flirting, and I wonder how they're suddenly friends (I'm rewatching the show and at this point they very clearly hate eachother's guts). I know beforehand that in a few hours they're going to kiss and that's so exciting I tell everyone about it. A couple things happen, I'm in a café on the second floor of a townhouse? Then I'm shopping in an adorable boutique with cute pink flowery/heart-patterny clothes but it turns out the place is like exceedingly expensive.

I briefly remembered but it's lost now 

NO

Boats!! Tour through pond/lake with houseboats/regular boats or maybe just boats with beds in them? It was raining and I kept peeking inside the cabins, thinking how awful and cold some looked and other cozy and nice. My aunt took the train to see me and we went shopping at F21 and Urban Outfitters. They had super cute y2k open toed heeled sandals but the salesgirl got really judgemental about my ugly feet (which... cmon man.)

...park? I remembered it all this morning but it's completely gone now.

18-01-23

On holiday on a walk through the dream!hills, encounter mountain lion enthousiasts keeping three of them as pets plus a big dog- I was more worried about the dog being potentially dangerous than the mountain lions. My neighbour wanted to be friends with my dad, but he didn't and I felt kinda bad. Dad also threw my cascarilla powder and salt in the same jar and I got super mad. 

Mom dropped me off in town so I could go to my hairdresser at exactly 05:50 in the afternoon and I had a bit of time so I went to the drugstore to look around (also Trump was babysitting me?) The store had revamped and was huge now (with 2nd floor) but I didn't go upstairs, just wanted to see the makeup section. Looked at Essence and Rimmel for the gel eyeliner I wanted and don't think I found it but I did see a refillable liquid eyeliner. Saw a friend from like 15 years ago and she was still sweet. I was wearing a long crochet skirt that kept getting stuck to my heels, also, I couldn't straighten my legs? Kept moving in a shuffling crouch.
