Dreaming in Digital

20250412 Cookie and i met Peach, Tomato, Persimmon, and Cherry near Square One when the sky suddenly became as dark as night and rain torrentially poured from an angry heaven. We said we should find shelter and had differences about where to go. Peach and Tomato decided it's best to go home to their tall skyscraper, but i mentioned Fort ???. We hopped into two vehicles and headed our separate ways, ours driven by Persimmon with Cherry and Cookie.

As we raced there, lightning in numerous beams crashed all around us, razing the skyscrapers to the ground with each strike. Their long, white-hot fingers splayed farther and wider with each thunderous boom. I was scared and sad to see the world destroyed.

When we reached the fort, others had the same idea. We bunkered in the safe rooms below as we waited for the clashes and flashes to end. I can't tell how long we hid, but the final strike did occur. When it was safe, we emerged from hiding to the raised ground floor. The world was flooded up to the edge, just under the window line. We had chosen the right building and survived.

I was in university, during my free period. I stumbled into a club that entertained children. There were various activities set around this room. A staff member saw me wandering and assigned me a task, assuming i was there to work. I was trying to cross the room to get to my class, which was in a mall.

I finally got to the class, where the professor had already started class. A childhood friend of mine was there, but he didn't recognize me. Shortbread, Spritz and Wafer also took the class, but stood at the other side of the room as the professor talked. I wondered if i was in the right class. I filled out forms, as did the class, and as i went to hand it in, Wafer handed me a few dollars, telling me to drop these off at the registrar office. I said 'no' and left the class.

I was Cookie's first day back to work from parental leave. We had just moved into a new home. It was an older house, with old furniture and cabinets. It was in the early hours of the morning with dark skies and snow on the ground. Cookie's mom had come to drop him off at work. While she waited in the car, Cookie rushed to the kitchen to grab lunch.

I picked up a tupperware and asked him, “what about this one?”

He said it belonged to the jetski instructor and he has a lesson on the weekend.

When Cookie was going to the car, his mom came in asking for water. As i got her a glass, i checked the baby monitor. Our baby had her piggy face on and was running around outside. I yelled for her to come back in.

In the first dream, Clone Medic Kix (from Star Wars The Clone Wars; wearing phase 2 armour) and I looked at each other as if confirming we saw the same thing happen. It was almost dark, and there were human-size chunks of permacrete rubble around us. ARC Trooper Echo was behind Kix, focused on something far in the distance.

In the second dream, I was looking straight out a front door that was wide open. The door frame was wood and tinted an orange-honey colour, and the walls around it were a pale, daffodil colour. Outside, the sky was dark and heavy, like a storm brewing at dusk. The trees and bushes were black and swaying in front of the black iron fence that surrounded the front yard.
