Dreaming in Digital

I was in a change room much like the ones with had in the middle school I attended. Each booth was divided and each area had a shower on one side, and a sink, counter top and mirror on the other. I was mirror, getting myself ready. Another cosplayer passed by me, but I don't remember if I conversed with them. I walked out of the washroom and into the mess of cosplayers crossing the street at a crosswalk. While crossing, the view switched to something aerial, and I could see myself rushing past two others with long, bright red hair. When I reached the other end, I went to some sports bleachers as I thought to myself on how I should make myself different and identifyable from the others who were also cosplayed as Luke from Tales of the Abyss. When I sat down, I decided I'd be Luke (SPOILER)from the end of the game/anime when he decided to show his face after two years. I was dressed in a maroon, hooded cape that his group wore when they wandered around a snowy area in Auldrant ("Auldrant" is their "Earth").

Shortbread and I were at an anime convention. We were us.. but we also weren't us. We had bodies as if we were models. We wore gothic lolita clothing; she wore hers in white and mine was in black. We were in a merchandise room, and I think we were also selling some things, but at that moment in the dream, it was too early for the shops to be open. We were hanging out and wandering around the room, meeting our neighbouring dealers.

I don't remember what happened in my dream. All I remember are cosplayers at an anime convention.

I remember the end of the dream best. I was with Shortbread and Wafer, and we were at a convention thing, but the shops appeared as they were in Niagara. We took a shuttle/school bus to a shop late at night when the sky was completely dark. While looking around, I noticed I forgot my camera on the bus' outside storage compartment. I panicked, but someone in the shop with us said it would come back because it circles around town. It came back and I got my camera.

I can't remember what happened after, and I didn't know where I'd sleep for the night.

I sat in a room with my family. It was dim and the door was slightly opened. There were red couches and plants around us. We sat with our heads bowed and a ghost came in, wandered around the room and left out the door it entered. I went to the door to look where it went, but my uncle said to keep the door nearly closed. Another ghost came in when I sat down. There were ghosts passing the hallways.

I remember another part where we were packing our four suitcases into the back of our car. My mom's didn't fit until we closed the zipper to the bottom compartment.

We sat again in a room with our father's side of the family gathered. Everyone was seated and given a capsule to eat. I didn't eat mine, but held onto it. Then we were given another capsule. These capsules were clear and frosted, but this one had green stuff inside. I held onto it again and it was lunch time. I ate my lunch, then the capsules in the order I was given them. My aunt, who's the pastor's wife, took out a capsule with red stuff inside. As she took this out, I went to the washroom. When I went out, one of my cousin's ran to where I was (in the hall where the people of our generation were hanging out) and yelled, "there's something wrong with the adults!" We all ran down the stairs to the basement room where we ate lunch. The parents all were passed out over the couches and furniture. I was afraid. Were the capsules poisoned? My first instinct was to try and vomit the capsules out. As I stuck my fingers down my throat, I thought about swallowing a large amount of salt, but I had no luck in clearing my system of the capsules.

I had a dream where I went to Anime North with Cookie and his cousins. We split up and it was just him and I, but his cousins were waving at me to say "hi".

I had another dream where we were cooking at Cookie's house, but the kitchen looked like my work's kitchen. His grandma was there and she fell asleep on me.

No memory where this dream starts. I was filling papers with a boy who I think is EggTart. We went swimming later on and I was with two other friends, one boy and a girl. I wanted to try the deep end so I started slinking in that direction while everyone else was in the shallow end. When I got there, I realized I could stand and still have my head above the water. I started practicing to swim back and forth in that area. When the boy left, the girl and I swam together.

I woke up from sleeping (in the dream) and called Cookie. He answered but got disconnected since something was wrong with the cellphone satellites. I kept trying to dial but messed up his number each time. When I got it right, I went to the kitchen as it dialed. It was misty and foggy outside. The house was half buried in land of yellow grass, mud and sediments. There use to be snow on it. Four of the school elders from my high school gathered and they were walking around on the grassy mess. I got through to Cookie. I  asked if the condition of the world meant that he had no work but then I realized he might end up having to clean it up since he was in the construction business.

I had a dream I was a vampire. I was with three other vampires (two boys and a girl) and one of them turned me into one a few days before. I can't remember the exact situation, but it was like we were going to die during a mission. I found myself falling for one of the guys, and I was requesting to have a moment with him before we went to our deaths.

Since I slept over at Shortbread's house, I had a dream with Wafer and her. We just woke up and it was around noon. My parents called me and told me that they were coming to pick me up because she said we were going to my cousin's house (using that as an excuse for "I want you to be home"). Shortbread, Bonk and I were making breakfast for us and we had to rush and I had to eat quick because I only had three minutes before my parents came.

I was sitting on the table that my cousin was making fake lottery tickets on. Her sister was also sitting on the table and we were asking why she was making them. My cousin said that the jackpot has grown to be large and that there are a lot of people buying lottery tickets now so they can win.

I was with my cousin, Cheeta at her dorm. It was filled with rectangular, dark, wooden bread boxes. She was talking and panicking because she accidentally bought so many bread boxes and her parents disowned her.

I was with Shortbread and we were in a dorm room. We decided to visit our high school friends who also lived in dorms in the same building. We went through the hall, which looked like the hallways at my old apartment, and saw our friends. They were organizing a game of tag. When we approached them, they included us in their game. I wasn't paying attention for a while, so when I came back to reality, I asked Shortbread what was going on. She said, "you're a ___" (something like a hunter). She was one of the people I was suppose to chase. The game went on until it was just Shortbread, Snickerdoodle and I. Snickerdoodle was also a hunter and was dressed up in a white, strapless wedding dress. We caught her and everyone sat down around a table, on cushy sofas. I talked to Gingerbread, telling him I joined Maple Story again. Then I talked to AnimalCracker, since I haven't in a long time.

I don't remember my dream except that there was someone doing the [NEWS Russ-K] dance and I was trying to, but failing, dance with them doing the same dance.

There was a toddler boy that I took care of when I went to San Diego this past summer. He was in this dream. We were in the Philippines and I sat down on a couch with my mother. This boy, I dubbed "Squishy" when I visited and played with him, came to me but he was a little taller than I last saw him and still squishy. It was time to eat so we went to the table covered in food. Squishy wanted rice, so he tipped over the rice pot. Next thing I knew, he was on the ground unconscious. I thought he had a heart attack as he lay in a pool of liquid (I don't remember what colour it was). It happened all too fast. I was wiping the floor with two of my cousins. The people around me talked; they said he hit his head on the edge of the hot pot. I started crying; I felt he was in a serious condition. My cousin-- his mother-- fell to the floor beside me. She was devastated.

In the next dream, I was still sad from the previous dream. One of my cousins and I had been chosen to put a little skit in front of three people whom I didn't know. They were students who seemed popular. My cousin started acting, but I didn't know what to do. She whispered to me to improvise when I told her, but I didn't feel like it. One of the two girls, we were acting before, said, "They're wasting our DHT." At that point, I ran away, hurting inside because of Squishy.

Two of my cousins and I had signed up for lessons and classes that were were interested as well as academic. We gathered around the kitchen with my aunt and my mom, dad and sister and we decided to ditch our last class. We boarded a speedy train. As we started to move, something started to chase us so my cousin suggested to get off at the next stop. When we arrived, I opened the door, which opened a little differently from normal doors, and everyone got out except for my cousin. As the train left, my aunt started crying as my cousin's face left our view; she had a sad yet satisfied grin on her face. I can't remember after that.

I was at a castle with people, but I don't remember with who. It was dark and haunted, I suppose, but we continued to the treasure room. There were two babies on the floor, wrapped up in cloth; they looked like Edmund and Gambino from [GaiaOnline]. It seems like the babies were the only survivors of the last group that walked in. We reached the treasure room and I don't remember if we took something; I think I did. The next thing I knew, I was being chased. I ran out the window and clasped on to the ledge below. The pearl I held I ground on the bricks of the outer castle wall, destroying it as I dangled. I climbed around the castle wall, scaling it for a way to get down, but everything was too high off the floor. I scaled to the entrance in time to see Estelle and Flynn from Tales of Vesperia run into the castle with two others. I yelled for Estelle, then Flynn and one of the other two heard my cries and stopped. The others came out and Flynn went below me, ready to catch me as I climbed down slowly. I fell on him and all the while as I climbed down, he spoke comforting things to ease my fear (I am afraid of heights and especially falling). Strangely, I had found holding onto the ledge as Flynn caught me effortless, as if I had enough strength to get down by myself. I also realized that I wasn't so high off the ground when Flynn caught me.

I had two dreams that linked together too well.. I don't know where the dreams separate, but I definitely had two. I lived underground and I was a writer or an author. I went up to the surface with two beaded bracelets. The day was dark and right after a rainstorm. I stood in a parking lot because that was where the elevator to the underground and surface connected. The elevator was old and rusty. One of the bracelets I held broke. The one yellow star and white and green beads scattered. As I tried to put the bracelet back together, a girl appeared. As her classmates loaded off the bus behind her, the girl on a field trip spoke to me. She asked questions; I wasn't happy. I may have gotten annoyed too. At last I left the bracelet pieces and went back to the elevator, going back down to the underground, but as I entered the elevator, I thought about adding her to my story in good spirits. When I was down at my floor, in a fenced cage was Eli (an African friend in my grade one, elementary class). He was there with Tart and his mother who didn't speak English. Tart was working on her school essay and just finished it. We talked about it until Eli said his mother would like to proofread her paper and make sure she reached the minimum word count and essay length. Tart let her read it. I can't remember what happened after that, but Eli's mother asked if I wanted to take a bath. She filled a huge bathtub with water for me.

I was with Cookie's family; his stepfather was driving in his truck. We reached our destination: Cookie's mother's family's house. It was small and in a neighbourhood much like my cousin's in her old house as I grew up. I felt fear of being seen by my parents because we were just across the street. The sky was starting to set-- It was still blue, but faint tints of purple started to appear.

I can't remember it well. I was at school.. Don't know if it was university or not, but everyone had to go outside because of a threat in the building. We gathered at the front entrance. Konny was there, though I didn't talk to him. He was the only familiar face in the crowd of people. It was raining outside. I also remember something about "[Sorairo Days]"-- The theme song of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It occured to me that I should've set my phone message receive tone to say, "Row, row, Fight the powah!" just to show off..
