Dreaming in Digital

20231018 I was house sitting a large house with white walls and furniture and wooden accents and trim. I don't remember how he found me, but one of Cookie's friends, J (he met through the MOBA, League of Legends) knocked on the door. We were shocked that coincidentally we met. He was tall, with short, dark blond, wavy hair. He was here from the United States because he just started university in Kingston. It was autumn and a little cold outside.

20231017 It was like watching an episode of Miraculous Ladybug. Marinette's class was visiting a museum or laboratory with white walls and floors. A villain appeared and the two became Ladybug and Cat Noir. As they fought the villain, Ladybug said something stupid and dismissive of Cat Noir, and after the battle, he left angrily.

20231007 On this night, I was a majorette/colour guard again. For some reason, I had to do one last show twenty years after I've quit. My cousin was a baton user, but she switched to colour guard after I left. We lined up for our performance, as a man, the MC, announced we'd do a certain song. Unfortunately I didn't know the song or its routine, but I laid my flag on the ground along with a hammer my cousin set in line with everyone else's flags.

20231002 I was a vigilante at night. With my grappling hook, I would swing from building to building.

20230929 In the news, a horrible earthquake happened in California. I was with my mother-in-law and father-in-law who were watching the news on her cell

20230904 i can remember bits of my dream. I was at a country fair, participating in contests. I had fought with a blonde southern lady about being in a spot, and a southern young man about contest entries. He said to vote for “Bo [something]”. At the end of my dream, I was scooping chips into paper bags that I wanted to take back to my mom.

20230903 I signed up for American Idol, and was following Howie Mandel around long, concrete-painted white hallways in order to get to be ready for my performance. At one point, he turned to me and and told me to pick up “these trays” (they were lime green) and bring them to the judges panel. They were snacks for them.

20230831 Cookie and I were at a lobby for an older apartment. We sat around a lounge table, as we waited for Spritz to meet us there. Cookie got a ping from a text message that he was on his way. I looked outside to see him walking towards the building, completely buffed from years of working out. His face remained flushed, as if it's a result from being muscular.

20230827 I don't remember the first dream very well. Cookie and I were at his family's cottage with his other family circles. One family cancelled because one of their members wwre infected with COVID-19.

20230820 i barely remember these dreams. With Shortbread, I climbed creaking old wooden stairs of a small house. On the floor we reached were filled bookshelves of fragrant old books. The walls were peeling painted white horizontal wood planks and the floors were creaking wood covered in expensive antique rugs. I can't remember what we were talking about.

20230716 This could be from two different dreams, but I only remember two fragments.

 20230714 Cookie and I met up with Mango, though I barely remember if he brought his young, two-year-old son. Mango pushed an aged, large-windowed door open as we exited a store. Underneath the door's fresh coat of dark green paint were many dents and scratches. Despite being lightweight, the hinges made it difficult to swing open.

I don't remember when I had this dream, but it was in the last week of June/starting July.

20130705 I can barely remember. I entered a room that I had the impression was a lunch room. Strangers were seated around a few glass tables. I scanned the room, then sat alone at an empty table. I didn't see Spritz in the crowd, but he got up from his seat and whispered in my ear to meet him in the courtyard before he left the room.

 20230627 I was holding a wooden stick that was roughly shaved of its bark, not thicker than a centimetre, and as long as a chopstick. As I twirled it between my fingers, a minuscule piece lodged itself in my finger. I had a splinter.

 20230626 All I remember was that I had a large teacup of blooming tea. As the petals opened, the bottom of the cup became a concentrated burnt sienna.

 20230623 I don't remember what happened, except Obi-wan was in the lead, next Anakin, then Commander Cody, Captain Rex* (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and I at the end. We traversed a dim, narrow corridor as several fluorescent lights dangled from the ceiling, sparking flying several directions, and the emergency lights barely lit our path ahead. I think we were trying to escape. A noise caught our attention and we all looked behind us.

*  The Jedi wore their Season 3 outfits, and the clones wore their Phase II kits, buckets on and blasters drawn and ready.

20230620 Somewhere in the countryside with a small group of strangers, Cookie's sister's family, and Spritz, we were led into a cave that went underground. There were zombies around that periodically came out of the many cavern paths, and we lost many of our group to them.

 20230617 Cookie and I visited Cherry and her cat, who was back to being a kitten. As we spent time with her, the cat began clawing and biting playfully, but he didn't know how much strength he put into each swipe and bite because of his age. Eventually, Cherry put him in a large jar, telling him how he was being a bad kitten. As we admired him through the glass, Cherry's boyfriend came. He was upset about that we put him in the jar.

20230606 I don't remember my first dream anymore, but I remember my second one better. I was with four other boys, and we were probably superheroes - guardians of the world. Our headquarters were in the sky just above the clouds, in a building that was massive and elliptical in shape (it resembled Tipoca City on Kamino in Star Wars). On the news we heard the world below was suffering a pandemic - a virus - and we were scared. Not long after, we received a mission to go down and watch a little boy. A partner (or two) and I went down, to a little warehouse. When we met the boy, he told us his mother was looking after an elderly man in the room adjacent to us. In our current room, there were many cathode ray tube (CRT) television screens stacked from floor to ceiling. Each one displayed SMPTE colour bars. When I asked the boy if his mother needed help, he said she said she didn't. She worked taking care of the elderly.

20230605 My plush toy, I affectionately named “Baby Yoda”, was alive and needed cuddles. 

20230601 I lived back in my old condo by the Toronto Waterfront, but the layout looked a lot more like my childhood apartment. I awoke from an afternoon nap, and Cookie kissed my forehead. As we were lying on our hotel-white bedsheets, Cookie bolts up and starts rushing to get dressed.

20130530 Cookie and I were on a cottage trip in a forest with many trees. We shared a house with his university friends, Peach,Tomato, Mango, Papaya, Persimmon, Blackberry and Raspberry. His sister, her husband and two small children were staying at another cottage nearby.

20230315 I was homeless. I travelled to the countryside hoping to find a place to squat. There was a white mansion with a black roof. I walked around it and saw an attachment that hadn't been cleared of cobwebs and dust. I crept in, cleaned it up and began living in it.

20230529 I was graduation a second time in high school with Cookie, Shortbread, and Wafer. I'd reenrolled back to school to gain knowledge for a new career path.

 20230528 Rummaging through a filled garage, stacked with rows upon rows of metal shelves, I came across a partially opened cardboard box. I pulled out a picture book with a familiar-looking girl on the cover. It was a book about Jyn Erso's adventures before the events of Star Wars: Rogue One.

-------

Cookie's four-year-old nephew was having another birthday party for his friends only. Despite not having children, cookie and I were invited, so we awkwardly watched children run around the party hall.

Stacks of colouring sheet packages and a cup of crayons sat on a foldable table. I took one stack and began colouring the dinosaur-themed package. Not soon after, the nephew's mother's friend, and her two sons, were leaving. She searched the colouring packages for her sons' names but only found one. Dread set into my system as I flipped through the sheets I found a name written on the top right of the package.

I rushed to Cookie's nephew's mother telling her what I'd accidentally done - I didn't know they were only for the children. Overhearing my panic, my mother-in-law handed me a black USB stick and pointed me to a door.

"You can print out more colouring pages in there," she said, patting my shoulder.

Cookie and I entered the room. Everything was white. The only things in the room were a single computer and a black printer in the centre of the room. I booted up the stick in Windows Explorer to see thousands of files, and to my horror, none of them were in folders. I used the search function without luck, and after a few minutes, I decided to try searching on the internet for the exact same colouring book pages to print.

20230516 

20230510 I was with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Waxer, Boil, and the little twilek, Numa (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars), on the dry planet, Ryloth. With a stick in hand, Waxer was drawing plans in the dirt for how we'd reunite with our troops, who was named Ghost Company. Cradled on Boil's hip and arms securely around his neck, Numa made airplane sounds. With arms crossed, Obi-Wan watched us silently.

20230503 Cookie and I share a king-sized bed with dark grey sheets. I gave birth to a baby recently and laid our baby, swaddled, on our bed surrounded by pillows. Despite being small, the baby had plump cheeks, and much to my relief, didn't look like an elderly man.

20230502 I was with The Bad Batch (from Star Wars: The Bad Batch). Although I don't remember what happened, I remember spending most of my time with Wrecker who had a smile on his face. They wore their season one armour.

20230427 Cookie and I went to a summer camp for a day. It was in an old, Victorian home with its walls covered in old, yellowing, floral wallpaper. The camp counsellor was a woman in there late thirties. As she watched us pass, she seemed like a miserable person. She was also strict with us.

20230423 In a long, durasteel hallyway, lit by lights behind grates, I ran. Hot on my heels were clones (from Star Wars The Clone Wars) from the Coruscant Guard, their red and white armour blipped rhythmically with reflections as we passed blast door after blast door that lead to more corridors.

20230422 I was on a mission to extract a group of men. Captain Rex (from Star Wars The Clone Wars) and I moved everyone to our rendezvous point where Commander Wolffe arrived in a LAAT/i to pick us up. The captain complimented my speed to action, and I joked that I should join Wolffe's company.

20230408 I was in a dim, steel cell, much like the ones in Star Wars. I was a prisoner, my hands were bound in binders (handcuffs). I kept my back to the door, spending most of my time staring at the steel walls.

20230325 I had two dreams, but I barely remember them. In my second dream, I was on the ground looking up at the backs of Anakin Skywalker and Asoka Tano (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, 2008). Wherever we were, it was dark, and rubble surrounded us. They had their lightsabers drawn, in a stance suggesting they were ready to fight someone or something.

20230323 I can't remember how it began, but Biscotti stopped by out house (which had Cookie's grandparent's house's layout). I was watching a streaming tv show up in Cookie's and my bedroom. I set up our printer because he wanted to watch Doctor Who next, as if printing something would change the playlist of my television. Soon, Spritz arrived, then Shortbread, who took the transit. As we were watching my show, the paper jams in the printer and we fix it with much struggle. Also while we watched my show, Spritz put a CD into my CD player to watch after, as if that eould affect my playlist as well. When it was finally done, Shortbread said she had to leave to catch the busses, but Biscotti volunteered to drive her home. She stayed longer and we went down to grab a snack.

20230322 My sleep was fragmented, but I remember two things about my dream(s): Commander Cody (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars) made an appearance, with his “bucket” (helmet) on, and a dark-haired, Asian woman. The woman was strange. She wore a thick, red headband over her shoulder length hair, a fuchsia blouse and periwinkle skirt that reached the floor. I saw her early in my dream, and as the last person I saw before waking.

20230318 I had combat training with seven other students, including Shortbread. We had to practice with real blades. I wanted to use my own swords but my instructor, a clone of Jango Fett (from Star Wars The Clone Wars) refused and took away my blades. Some men showed up at the door, asking for him, and with this distraction, I quickly switched my swords and I engaged my opponent. He was much faster than I was, slicing me inside my inner elbow.When we paused, I showed Shortbread who gasped. Once our instructor noticed, he stopped us and scolded me, telling me to stand in the hallway and he'll talk to me shortly.

20230317 I was in a starship, hyper space jumping from galaxy to galaxy looking for something I'd dropped.

20230301 I visited my ChocoChip's new home. The living room was more like a long hall. At the far end was a white grand piano, with rows and rows of pews before it, like in a church. Cookie and I sat in the far back, a row before the last, as we waited for ChocoChip's daughter's piano recital to begin.
