what dreams can you remember?
well, 1st of all I had the exact same reoccurring dream from my first conscious moment until I turned 6! I'd wake up floating in space with a key on a chain around my neck. I'd grab it to have a look at it, at how old it looked. how it looked bigger than any key I knew of, and as I'd think of this, a man would appear in front if me. He'd always be short, old, dressed in a finely pressed suit and he'd smile at me and ask for the key and every single night I'd give him the key. He'd then cruelly laugh at me and call me a fool and say, "look at what you've done! so gullible and now you've given me the key to the world without a second thought. You've doomed us all and it's all your fault."
and then I'd startle awake. shortly after I started elementary school I stopped having that dream and only had mundane ones not worth thinking about, until shortly after I turned 18. For the first time in 12 years I had the same dream again. I woke up in space, curled up in the fetal position. I slowly unfurled myself and looked around, looked down. Same key hung around my neck, though, having grown it looked smaller now but it had the same chain, same color, same shape, and as I held it in my hand the same old man appeared before me. Somehow, he was still short but didn't feel much shorter than he was when I was a kid. Somehow, I guess, proportionally short to myself.
He grinned up at me and asked for the key, and for the first time in 12 years I said no. I held it close to my chest and said that he wouldn't fool me anymore, that I KNEW he'd call me foolish and I wasn't falling for it anymore. It was my key, and i had it for reasons I didn't understand, but I wasn't giving it away again. I expected him to be mad, but instead he smiled up at me with kindness and said he was proud. I'd grown so much he said, filled out my skin some more and I knew now to keep the things I held dear close to my heart.
And then I woke up. haven't had the dream again since then so in some way I guess it's been resolved? Hm.
Other than that I just have lots of weird dreams like making out in bathroom and running out bc there's a trex shaking the ground in the distance and its headed straight for my bakery and I need to stop it before it gets there because I couldn't afford anything other than the baseline insurance and if that stupid dinosaur crushes my business then it's gone forever! and then i fight it. Or uh idk. the glitched museum of naked nuns that was all kinds of weird. I have lotsa weird dreams π
tnx for the ask!
