Ninth week of my dream journal entries

Spencer from ICarly? I walked the whole dream through, remembered everything.. now the only thing I can recall is Spencer showing up.

Dropping of my portfolio at an art school I want to enroll in (the building is really ugly). We (a gang of adventurers) drive a camper to a parking lot but a lot of things go wrong (someone gets sick?) and half the camper collapses in on itself. There's an issue with rotten kiwis? They've gone liquid but I still have to eat them. A lot more happens but I only remember vibes. Reviewing old video games where the rewards are artificially flavoured cans of fruit soda?

I'm not fully human (vampire?) and I travel around with four buddies and a crate obscenely full with all kinds of creatures. First we live in a shack on top of a hil, but our thrid vmpire friend from the nearby town sends us a horsedrawn carriage, so we can choose a house that won't fall down at the first gust of wind. We pick a gothic revival villa (duh) overlooking the dunes. It's huge though in need of a good clean and a bit of a revamp (hehe). I know at least the hall and downstairs bathroom are in decent shape because I spent most of my time there- eventually an architect wanders in and begins advising me how best to decorate the study (it's dusk and we have a beautiful view over the ocean). My mouth and face don't work, I think they're glued shut? I go to the bathroom to drink some water but now the house has opened to the public and a guy makes fun of me for not knowing how to wash my face. People are discussing Hamilton.

Drank mugwort. In he same house as yesterday, I go to an archeological museum that I apparently visited with my grandpa the summer before I started college. On the left is an old fashioned displayof excavation tools, on the right is a cagwe setup with moose (meese?), tigers, things with tusks and claws reaching through the bars while I have to swim through the dark, muddy canal laid out in between the cages. I mentioned to someone I wasn't particularly keen on swimming through this life-threatening museum display but my family got pretty angry so I ended up doing it anyway. The cages stay the same but my family leaves and it turns into more of an ancient city (specifically the slums) hidden in a rainforest/swamp with waterways and narrow paths in the air made of scaffolding. I'm Isto now and I am what one might call a 70's sleazy paperback imagining of a hetaira, making my way to the upper levels of the town to dance. There's a guy there I have to work for/with and he's gross, but I need money I guess so I dance while people in the cage-like structures watch and reach their hands through the bars. 

My job is done so i go back down and now the town looks the same but it's actually a run-down boat that's going to take us to an island where we can stock up on essentials and trade. It's a pretty long journey and we have just spent the last night on board. While we get dressed (our "room" is laughable and in full view of the rest of the boat) the ship runs into technical issues and starts to sink. The crew save themselves and lock us up in the boat but we manage to escape just in time to see the ship go vertical and disappear in the water.

The island is 21 miles away (weirdly specific?) so we have to swim- I lose consciousness but wash up on the shore.

This one is kinda vague. I'm with the Jackall and the Fox, they're planning on breaking into a building (town has the same cage structure) that is apparently heavily guarded. The Fox succeeds by climbing the narrow scaffolding on the outside, then activating a sacred command from the God in scarab-from. 

Now it's time to escape the island and in order to do that we barter and trade, eventually managing to get two canoes (I specificall recall calling them pirogues in my dream) that we tie all our belongings to. We're so happy we can finally leave the island and at the end I very hurriedly tell a witch I like her magenta shirt. I think I have a lemur?

The Queen was involved.

Enormous ancient bathhouse with thin layers of lukewarm water covering the floors. The building is tall and temple shaped, crumbling and humid (it has a very specific vibe of primordial beauty and intimidation that I absolutely fuck with). I'm with a group of people and we have to carry large sandstone tiles somewhere. Our leader (a priest?) is kinda angry with us and some base fight-or-flight instinct sets in.

I'm looking up Ghost fanfic with Colette in them (like fics other people have written and posted, as if Colette is some sort of fanbase-wide shared original character? I think most of them involved Julian pretty heavily which, knowing the way I've written Colette... yeah, that tracks.)

23-01-23

In the car, making my way to my aunt. In my dream she had two dog-like creatures and I was getting married in a light blue patchwork dress but we cancelled the wedding at the very last minute because a serious storm was imminent. (I was so relieved, don't even know who i was gonna marry but I sure as hell didn't want to)

In a hotel with Grandpa- place is in poor shape and a little sad-looking but he seems happy so it's all good. I drop a glass of water on the carpet and it turns out the floor is just a plastic crate. We're out in a seaside town that looks a lot like a real life nearby city- the amount of tattoo studios has increased and there's suddenly a lot more toy and "kawaii" shops in an old mall. Back in the hotel, we're shocked by the sudden appearance of a flock of bald eagles. 

In a parking lot, but the exit is difficult to find and I accidently end up creating a whole underground traffic jam. Apparently this happens a lot. I'm eating icecream.

Nightmare?
