The Fear of a Cruise Ship Exploding and Sinking

I dreamed I was in class. Outside the classroom window was an endless sea. I saw an incredibly beautiful cruise ship passing by and called everyone over to look. The cruise ship was tiny in the distance, shining brightly in the sun, and the sea was sparkling. As soon as the classroom window was opened, the sea breeze blew in. It was perfectly beautiful. Then we saw that beautiful cruise ship suddenly speed up and leave, so we went back to class. Next, our class also organized a vacation on a cruise ship. It was an ordinary cruise ship, but still very nice. Even though our living quarters weren't even as big as our school dorms, everyone was very happy. Then we encountered that incredibly beautiful cruise ship again. For some reason, it was very close to us, spinning rapidly in place. The people on that ship were terrified, but the cruise ship showed no sign of slowing down. Then, that beautiful cruise ship suddenly exploded. After the explosion, it began to slowly sink, but for some unknown reason, our cruise ship also began to uncontrollably speed up and circle the exploding ship. This even caused the secondary and tertiary explosions of the sinking ship to almost catch us in the blast. But in the end, we made it away from there. No one escaped. No one made it out of that exploded cruise ship. Everyone's mood grew very heavy. Our ship stopped for some unknown reason and had to remain stalled on the sea for the night. I was deeply uneasy, so I didn't stay obediently in my room; I kept trying to find official staff, like stewards or something. Midway, the cruise ship even lost power for a few minutes and took on water once. Finally, I found a few stewardesses. I asked them: is the ship really going to explode. They just awkwardly told me not to make such dangerous jokes, but I could see they were still a bit scared. Yet they didn't know the answer either, and then I truly fell into despair. I already felt like I was just waiting to die on the ship, and now, after running around for so long, I had only deepened this suspicion—neither confirming it nor dispelling it. I felt so helpless. I thought of the cruise ship that had already exploded. On that ship, some people were there to work, some were there to vacation, and some had spent their entire life's savings just to see the sea once. But they all died. They might have died helplessly, they might have died painfully, or they might have been as desperate as I was, or perhaps even more desperate. Then I returned to my room, looked at the water that had already risen to my heels, climbed back into bed, ignored the voices of my classmates, and went to sleep. Then I woke up.

Dream Adventure: A Healing Journey Through Bottles of Light, an Odd-Eyed Cat, and a Twin-Moon Wheat Field

Last night I dreamed I was in a huge supermarket, but the shelves were completely filled with transparent bottles containing different colors of light. I wanted to buy an orange one, but the clerk told me it required a reservation, and then handed me a business card with my own name written on it. I walked out of the supermarket and found it was raining outside, but the ground was dry. Looking up at the sky, the raindrops vanished in mid-air. By the road, a cat was sitting on top of a traffic light looking at me; one of its eyes was blue and the other was gold. Then, somehow, I ended up in the neighborhood where I lived as a child, but the buildings had grown incredibly tall. I counted and there seemed to be hundreds of floors. I took the elevator up. A very soft piano melody was playing inside. When it reached a certain floor, the doors opened to reveal a wheat field outside. As I walked into the wheat field, I suddenly felt so sleepy that I just lay right down. The wheat was very warm. There were two moons in the sky, one large and one small. I wanted to take a picture, but when I pulled out my phone, it had turned into a cookie. I took a bite and it was actually quite tasty—matcha flavored. Later, someone called my name, but I couldn't make out their face. He said, "It's time for you to go back." I asked, "Back where?" And then I woke up.

The Gang Boss and the Giantess: A Video Game Dream

I dreamt I was in a car, sitting in the back. There were people of all ages in the car; the person in the driver's seat was our boss, and we were a gang. The boss took us to a farm. That farm had appeared in my dreams before. I remembered that at the entrance of every enclosure where cattle and sheep were kept, there would be a small room. That room was red, dyed with human blood; many people had died here. Then I dreamt that our boss and I went into a school together. In that school, we were investigating something. Then, we split up to search all over the school for the resources we needed, though I kept following the boss. But we got separated from some people, and then they disappeared. When I turned my head, they had turned into NPCs; it seemed they were already dead. Then, I continued following the boss to find those puzzles. Then, in the first-floor lobby, we saw a giantess. That giant was truly massive; we could only see her hands and eyes, not her whole body. Her entire body seemed to be outside the building, so much so that we could only see her eyes and hands, though it wasn't to an absurd degree. We went down to the basement, and after scavenging what we needed, we quietly snuck back up to the second floor. But at a critical moment, the boss was suddenly discovered, and the few of us were all caught. Then I suddenly opened my eyes and woke up. I realized we were playing a game. Actually, all those experiences just now were just me playing a game with the boss. Then, the boss said, 'Ah, what a pity we didn't save the game.' But actually, I have a habit when playing games, which is to constantly keep saving. I had something running in the background, recording our saves at every moment, and then I copied that save file over to the boss. I said, 'Boss, I saved it. We can use my save file. You can roll back to my save, and we can keep playing.' And then I woke up.

Nested Dreams, Blurring True and False

I had a very complex dream. Basically, every time I had a dream I would wake up, but that wasn't a real awakening. I was still asleep, but I thought I had genuinely woken up, and then I would use my phone to record the dream. Halfway through, I realized I didn't seem to have ever woken up. Then I thought, the previous dreams were just too weird. I thought I had woken up again, but in reality, I still hadn't. Then I used my phone to record all my previous dreams once more, felt relieved, and went back to sleep again. Then I had another very, very long dream, a completely chaotic dream. This dream had absolutely no logic, and I don't remember it very clearly either. It was roughly like, one second I was in a cave, and the next second I ran into a flower; one moment I was clearly fighting someone, and the next second I was inexplicably chatting with them.
