* january + february '25*
- standing on a beach, a surfer type of guy ran up to me to ask if i could watch his pet lion - the lion was very energetic but unruly, i was worried it would attack because it seemed overstimulated but it was ok
- i was unlocking a bunch of apartment doors with a master key and seeing news about an election on old tvs in each one
- my great aunt c was in the car with me and dad, i joined a church with them
- an old ex-friend reached out to be in a band with me again, he touched my shoulder and i woke up kinda anxious
- A and i had two kittens, each one was like a mini version of our two cats. those kittens morphed into human babies, one of them smiled at me and i felt very 'motherly'...A was feeding one, the other started speaking to me to tell me what they wanted to eat
- i was watching myself in a crowd, i was carrying a large old school video camera and pointing it towards a bunch of punks running towards something through a big grassy field
- praying at the base of a large tree - it had a tiny altar built into the trunk with little birthday candles - someone told me to go to a mountain, the name sounded like mt. "ko-koo-wo-ka"
- very stark building - a version of 2 of my jobs. i poured a beer and got a message from someone that said "THIS IS WHY I LOVE SPOTIFY FUCK THINKING ABOUT A PLAYLIST" lol
- studying japanese at a community center/library type of place - there was a big wheel of fortune type of game and i won a tamagotchi but it was haunted...some dream friends (no one i know irl) said i was being boring and we should go clubbing
- J, A and I had a new house together and were going to turn it into a DIY venue
- shopping with L - she had a magic lipstick that granted mysterious powers
- a very peaceful feeling dream, long too: i was in batsto in a graveyard following a little toad around with a remote control. every time i pressed a button, it hopped. but it started hopping bigger and bigger jumps and i started to worry i would hurt it so i stopped.
when i looked up, there was a small fluffy orange kitten sleeping at a tombstone. i picked him up and he started to purr and cling to me, so i began to walk to look for food for him. through a dirt path, i found a small town.
there was a building with an elderly woman and a guy in his 30's/40's working at desks - the building was like an office/town center type of thing but very small. i asked for cat food, but they said they had to 'order it from the city and it wouldn't get there til tomorrow'...
they had some wet food because there were two other kittens there. all of the kittens ate food together, one of them was especially messy and tossed his food in the air to catch it in his mouth. i asked if i could stay at an inn somewhere and they said there wasn't one, but i could stay on their daybed.
i slept there and in the morning, the man offered me breakfast but his fridge was full of nothing but roast chicken instant ramen - i woke up while trying to say 'i can't eat chicken, but thank you..." - i was a cashier at a grocery store and when some girl gave me her ID, it had the address of a house i used to live at. when i told her i used to live there, she gave me a horrified look
- in a strange little desert town, old west style, L warned me about quicksand + there were toads drying out so i watered them with a watering can.
also, my little brother was a child and bartending at an outdoor saloon. when i asked for a drink, he held a little dancing anime girl in his palm that was glitching out. also also, at some point i fell in the quicksand but it stopped halfway and i was able to get out - a big punk house had a bunch of free boxes on the steps. G, A and I noticed that there were guitars and a hello kitty rice maker and we tried to get them but others got to the stuff first
- this kinda felt like i was playing a video game - a dragon/unicorn (it kept switching characters) was fighting a kaiju-sized giraffe-centaur-woman thing on a run down roller coaster that kept breaking and so the characters would fall and continue fighting on different levels
- some kind of survival, post-apocalyptic situation - lots of us in a huge basement preparing to go above ground to hunt for food, my friend R was wearing a very impractical outfit and i was telling her she needed to change because her clothes would get ruined in the forest
- at a pride parade where there were pastel rainbow fireworks going off, the president came out as a trans woman
- a gigantic ferris wheel in the middle of philadelphia collapsed onto a neighborhood and flattened it
- working in one of the restaurants i used to work at years ago, my old manager was making us try salsa and asked if the salsa was a person - would we marry it?
- at a rave in a warehouse district by some docks - Rivers Cuomo was showing me something glowing in a dumpster
- M had moved to Mexico and we were all going to visit her. A priest tried to stop me at the border, but accepted my passport. At M's, it was a beautiful and airy house. M and I were shocked to find that seeds we had forgotten about for 6 months in her garden had blossomed into a nice garden full of flowers and vegetables.
- for some reason my industrial band was supposed to play a show with mac demarco lol and my friend L made breakfast that was like, cupcakes smashed in between waffles
- my brother was reincarnated into a baby and i had to raise him - it seemed like it was the 90's again but things were off. there were ufos in the sky constantly (why do i keep dreaming about aliens and ufos lately??) and i kept having to evade my parents who kept fighting in front of the baby. at some point i handed my brother a sonic stuffed toy and asked if he remembered anything - in a baby voice he said he heard dad say "son, are you alright?"
- walking through a walmart with my dad - the toy section was almost empty but there were random tamagotchis strewn about the shelves - none were the one i wanted tho
- found a letter from chuck berry in the wine storage at my job
- stuck inside of an old studio apartment that was getting smaller and smaller
- it was the 60's and i was assigned to be a photographer for the beatles - it looked like a hard day's night era. half of the dream was in black and white! then it changed to me explaining the order of beatles movies to my co-worker R
- i owed my mother a ton of money (v untrue in reality) and she was mad at me - wouldn't talk to me until i paid her back (v unlike her irl too)
- i was working in a sports bar as a server and when i went to take this couple's order, the woman insisted i tell the kitchen to "make the clams casino vegan" - would not listen to me saying we couldn't do that
- aliens in UFO, being chased by drones - looked like tall greys
- aliens interrupting Super Bowl on TV - big alien head but small human eyes, message of peace
- G flew a small plane to the jungle where me and him and S looked at plants
- i was showing my grandfather snake stickers talking about joy and carried Binky outside where my dad was waiting for us, it was sunny in the yard
- i was in a hotel where lots of rich people were living - all the housekeepers were painting the rooms with pastel sky colors and clouds and i was looking for an outlet
