Nightmare: Former Company Becomes a Restaurant, Rescuing a Drunk Chubby Guy

Nightmare

My biological clock woke me up after I had a nightmare. My former company had turned into a restaurant, and all my colleagues were working there. One colleague was drinking with a chubby guy. The colleague must have been dizzy from drinking; he called me over and said, 'Whatever you do, don't let the chubby guy pay,' and then he passed out. I took the chubby guy to the door to hail a cab. He was also drunk and tried to rush out into the rain, but I pulled him back and asked him where he was going. At this point, the dream became incredibly exhausting as I tried to fill in his address for him. I used all my willpower to type it out, and finally, an A4 paper with the filled-in address appeared. After filling it out, I noticed the chubby guy was no longer drunk; he was completely sober.

Isolated Island Academy: The Robbery

Adventurous·Mysterious

I dreamt I was going to school on a small island with my friends, and then a female bandit hijacked the entire school. If we didn't listen to her, she would kill us. At first, it was fine; she didn't have that many demands, and we got used to it. But later, people started dying inexplicably, and only then did fear begin to slowly spread and ferment. (Many people died inexplicably, but I only remember two cases.) That time, my friend and I were walking downstairs in the school normally, heading to the field for morning exercises and to listen to the principal's speech. While listening to the principal, I turned around as usual to chat with my friend. But shortly after I turned, I heard a loud bang, followed by the screams of students and teachers. My friend stood there, dumbfounded. So I asked her what happened. She told me: The principal exploded. Me: ? So I pushed through the crowd to the front, and saw the principal all over the floor of the podium. (You know what I mean.) Another time, my friend and I were lining up at the cafeteria for food, and the female bandit walked up beside our line, watching us. Then she suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at a male student. The male student suddenly seemed to turn into a monkey, very nimbly grabbing the edge of the window with his hands and swinging out just like that. The female bandit followed closely behind, leaping onto the window, and fired a shot at the 'monkey' in mid-air. And so, that male student turned into a red firework between the two teaching buildings. (The female bandit seemed to be using a shotgun.) People were dying completely at random. Everyone was terrified and uneasy, and we all started keeping our heads down, hoping not to be the next one. Until one time, when we were lining up again, I turned around to chat with my friend as usual. Then the female bandit suddenly started handing out flyers on the side. Although it was baffling, everyone took one anyway—who would want to risk their life? So I reached out to take one too, but right as my hand was about to touch the flyer, I suddenly froze. I don't know why, I just froze. Then I saw the female bandit pull out her gun, and my body suddenly moved out of my control, flying under the eaves to hide, just like a monkey. But while my body was out of control, I suddenly remembered something: the female bandit had never stopped us from leaving the school? Many people had wanted to leave the school before, and the female bandit never stopped them. But we never saw any rescuers, nor did we ever see the people who left again. The school clearly occupied 90% of the island, yet we never heard their voices or saw any traces of their lives. It was as if they vanished into thin air the moment they left the school. Then, as if hearing my thoughts, my body started running outward. Sure enough, the female bandit didn't shoot at me again. The moment I left the school, I regained control of my body, but it was a bit different. I noticed my body was translucent. I was dead; I was now a soul. Then I looked at the female bandit. She made eye contact with me, as if she could look a soul in the eye, and then she signaled with her eyes for me to go behind the school. So I went. There, I saw some people like me. Behind the school was a tree, and there was a lot of fruit on the tree. Someone told me the female bandit said that as long as we ate the fruit, we could leave this island and go to the outside world. So I ate it. Because the fruit was sweet and delicious, I even ate a few extra. Then I headed to the beach, where I saw someone rowing a boat to pick me up. I got on the boat, and shortly after boarding, I wanted to turn around and look at the island, but I woke up before I could turn my head.

Class

I dreamt I was in class in the academic building, and then I realized I didn't have a textbook. The teacher then sent me to get a new book; I needed to find a tall female class monitor downstairs. When I found her, she was sitting surrounded by a huge crowd of guys, which made my eye twitch. Then she got up and handed me a massive pile of fruit platters. Five very normal fruit platters, one durian platter, a watermelon platter, and a cantaloupe platter. Carrying all these platters made it hard to walk. On the way, the teacher and some classmates saw me and came over to help. After they took some off my hands, we went back to class. (Actually, I've always resented going to class. When that monitor gave me the fruit, I thought it was really weird too—I was obviously there to get a book, so why give me fruit? But she acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which made my dream-self feel like it must be normal. The teacher's reaction also made me feel it must be normal. But deep down, the whole situation made my dream-self feel sick to my stomach, though I couldn't show it. Plus, that monitor was acting like a total pick-me around the guys, which made me really uncomfortable to watch.)

Raising a Daughter

I had a very short dream where I became someone else's father and had to watch over him while he slept. In this world, there were only two kinds of people: children and fathers. Everyone was densely packed on the ground, lying or sitting, because the children were about to sleep. Then, just as I was about to exchange parenting tips with the father next to me, I was woken up.

Snow and Blood

I dreamed that on a snowy day I was in a dilapidated open-air theater. I was running with a little girl. At first, I didn't even know what I was running from, and then I realized there was a serial killer murdering people in the theater. I kept leading the little girl around, weaving in and out of the theater and its surroundings. Along the way, I even saw someone's corpse lying in the snow. Then, inexplicably, I went up onto the theater's stage. I told the little girl to hide, and then I went up by myself. Suddenly, the theater stage turned into the classroom next door to mine. We were doing an experiment in the classroom, and then, for some unknown reason, I was isolated again. No one wanted to do the experiment with me, and everyone was talking about me—I don't remember what they were saying. Then I remembered the little girl offstage and wanted to go out, and then I woke up.

Meow

Peaceful

I vaguely dreamt I had countless kitties, so many that they densely packed the house with nowhere to put them all. The stairwell was also full of kitties, kitty squished against kitty.
