#lighthouse posting

I wrote down a bunch of stuff to Lilla as soon as I woke up to help me keep stuff in my head, and I need to put this out there because holy moly is it weird. I don't really know what happened to transition into this particular dream, but it is one I've experienced before a few nights prior too.

So heres the setup. There is some kind of collectors card set/trading card game that was completely made up for the dream "game" for lack of a better word. I don't remember how much of it was experienced as me playing it as a game, and how much was me being actually in the world of said game, weird shit.

The only thing I remember about the card game is that instead of each player having their own distinct side of the field, there was a shared grid-shaped field that both players used, and positioning was an important aspect of the gameplay.

It was all kind of laid out as a sort of collection game with some card bartering/shopkeeping elements in it too, kinda like you're running a collectables shop but also trying to build a collection or something.

And importantly, there was a repeating cutscene. This is the one throughline of both the dreams: Whenever you got new cards, there would be a couple second long cutscene of black screen, followed by shelves rushing past the screen right to left with various cards or empty slots on, before stopping on an opening in the middle and stepping inside to view your library and add the new cards. The whole transition takes probably about 1 to 1.5 seconds.

Now for the lede I've been burying.

This game is also haunted. It didn't come up much first time around, but I did catch a few glimpses of almost like an aurura or a figure in a brilliant cyan. When I told Ness about it she immediately thought "oh similar to Spooky or Cortana", and like, maybe? but I don't think so. The edges were fuzzy, this ghost very much is like an aurura taking on a human form.

There were also these dolls that would randomly show up. Always the same doll. Always sat down. Always wearing a red dress. I don't remember any other features of it though, it wasn't something I was paying attention to the first time around, and even the second time it's like my mind couldn't focus on them.

Thats where the games cruel trick comes up.

It was the end of the day, I was close to waking up, dreamworld me just needs to put some new cards away first, and the library comes rushing past, and every single shelf had this red doll on it, staring at me as they rushed by, and when the opening came up, the ghost was there, kneeling on the ground. But the walls didn't stop, more shelves, more dolls, until there was no more. The ghost upon reaching the middle of my screen stayed there, and when the library left, she did not follow, she was just left in the black void, and she stood up, and turned into a girl, probably around 7-10 years old, wearing the same red dress the dolls were wearing.

She starts to talk, she says shes my sister, that we used to play this card game together, but something happened to her. I have no idea what it could have been but the fact she's a ghost is a pretty big clue. The whole time she's talking, her face is contorting into grotesque shapes, and her body randomly twitches, with spikes pertruding from her, impaling her, for one or two frames at a time before they disappear and shes standing there like it wasn't happening. Incredible imagery, incredibly terrifying too, especially since at this point, it was one of those moments where I felt like I was in the world, not just playing a game.

And then we play the game, and after a bit, she places down a powerful card resembling herself, and the four cards that were already placed around it seem to grow spikes that impale the middle card. At this point I had no clue what was going on, and thats where the dream ended.

But I mentioned I had this dream twice.

My PC has decided to stop working. It's been wobbly for a couple weeks, not waking up from hibernate and needing a hard restart to get it on.

Now it just... doesn't

I've stripped it down to minimal build to see if I can get it to bios, and the lights and fans come on, but nothing goes to the screen.

I've even reflashed the bios in hopes that would fix it, but nothing.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know

>Can't reblog it because Tumblr communities are just worse for the platform than regular posts

>Sigh and just silence the community instead so that more of this doesn't keep showing up
