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.

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.

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.

Dream of Rice Cakes, Pork Trotter Rice, and a Drunk Sister

I dreamt I had an older brother and an older sister, and they were taking me out for a late-night snack. It was a shop with a three-character name I'd never heard of. They said to me, "This place is super famous, you didn't know? It specializes in rice cakes and fried chicken." Then they took me into the elevator. The rice cake shop was on the third floor, and surprisingly, it took up the entire floor. There really were so many rice cakes. Then I dreamt I spent a long time picking out rice cakes—sweet ones, savory ones, all sorts of varieties. I even put a lot back because they tasted bad and I couldn't finish them. Then I realized it was getting very late, so I went looking for my brother and sister, and went downstairs. Downstairs, I saw my sister drinking at an outdoor stall. She seemed to be heartbroken about something. I said to her, "Sister, don't drink anymore, let's go home." My sister drunkenly asked me, "Are you here to lecture me too? Why are you... here too? Do you think... I'm pathetic?" Damn, my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately changed my tune. "No, sister, it's just too late now, we have to go home." Then I glanced at my watch—8:20. "Sister, you can drink for 30 more minutes at most, the two of us can't go back too late." Then my sister went back to drinking, and I saw her collapse. I figured she probably didn't have much consciousness left, so I wanted to help her remove her makeup and get her some honey water. Since our house was very close by, I set off. On the way home, I saw a pork trotter rice shop, and a memory suddenly flared up. I saw myself and my brother eating here; I ordered the pork trotter rice, and it was incredibly delicious. But my brother told me the best thing here was the pork intestine rice. So, as if possessed, I went into the shop. I wanted to order the pork intestine rice, but the proprietress told me it would take a long time, that all the rice dishes take a long time to make. So I asked her for whatever bowl of rice could be made the fastest, paid, and left. I immediately started running home to get the makeup remover and honey water for my sister. Then, halfway there, I ran into someone night-running on a bridge, and then I woke up.

Monsters and Escape in the Foggy Town

I dreamed I was in a foggy little town. A monster had appeared in the town and eaten people. No one could find the monster, so everyone wanted to escape. I fled too, but the fog in the town was so thick that everyone just went around in circles several times without getting out. I was riding in a car with a boy from next door. Because I had no other clothes, I had to wear a qipao, and I didn't know why but I felt extremely uncomfortable in the car the whole time. Finally, we reached a hospital in the neighboring town, but there were monsters in the hospital too. Everyone had to run again, and then I woke up.

Dreaming of a Narco-Doctor, Police Cars, and a Mysterious Dungeon

I dreamt I was chatting with a doctor in a hospital, but the doctor was a drug dealer. I seemed to be very familiar with him. The hospital was closed at the time, and he was proudly telling us his history of drug dealing. I wasn't really interested in listening, just keeping up with "uh-huh," "yeah," "ah." My eyes were wandering around until I saw police cars. Several police cars suddenly parked at the entrance, right as the doctor was saying he had never been caught. So I asked him, "Then what are those police cars parked at the entrance?" Then our whole group fled in panic. Then the whole thing started over again. The doctor again, the police cars again. Then, fleeing to the back mountain, I saw a child. The child was injured. He said he wanted to play on a phone and asked me to get it for him. So I went back to the hospital to get his phone and some povidone-iodine to disinfect his wound. The little boy, in broken sentences, spilled a lot of gossip about the doctor, gossip about a massive pit, and gossip about a bunch of old folks. Then the whole thing started over yet again. The doctor, the police cars. I escaped through the back window and swiped a rope along the way. Then I walked to the hospital entrance, pretending I had just arrived, and ran into a group of old folks. They anxiously told me that a child had fallen into a deep pit and hadn't come out, but the pit was very deep and no one dared to go down. So I went to another building, swiped a flashlight, and went down the deep pit. Down there, I saw a dungeon, and deep inside the dungeon, I saw the unconscious child. I had the old folks pull the child up first, and then I ran into a cleanly dressed little boy. The little boy told me there was a sewer next to the dungeon where strange noises kept coming from, and he wanted me to go check it out. So I asked him to lead the way. On the way there, I saw a corpse in one of the dungeon cells. I quickly covered the little boy's eyes, told him to go ahead and that I'd be right there, and then I searched the corpse and found a gun. Then I returned to the little boy with the gun. The little boy told me this was the place, then stepped back fearfully, telling me to be careful. But on the way over, I had been thinking: does this little boy take me for a fool? What kind of little boy is all alone in a dungeon yet dressed so cleanly? Not only was he unafraid, but he was also exploring everywhere. The path to the sewer was incredibly complex—how did he remember it? He didn't actually react much when he saw the corpse, either. And as soon as he saw me, he asked for help with a very clear purpose, and so on. So I turned around and shot the little boy. Then I saw that he didn't die; instead, many dark shadows appeared around him. I turned my head and bolted into the sewer, locked the door, and kept running. I even heard the little boy asking me how I found out. I thought to myself, only an idiot wouldn't have figured it out, okay? Then, after wandering around, I ended up back in the dungeon, and then I saw a mirror. While looking in the mirror, I suddenly realized I was missing a canine tooth. Then I found that my canine had fallen out at some unknown point, and it seemed I had swallowed it. A new little tooth had grown in the empty space. Then I touched my teeth with my hand, and two of them fell out the moment I touched them. I was both scared and curious. I started pulling my teeth out one by one; they would fall out with just a casual pull. And for some reason, a whole bunch of extra teeth had inexplicably appeared in my mouth. Those teeth didn't look human either—some were long and flat, some were long and sharp, and all of them were very ugly and irregular. So I pulled them out one by one. I didn't feel any pain, nor did I bleed much. But when I saw that I only had a few teeth left in my mouth, I couldn't help but break down. I was truly having a breakdown (because in reality, I had just gotten my braces off after wearing them for 3 years). And then I woke up, completely devastated.

School

I dreamed I was at school, but the school was out on the street and had no fences. I had also sneaked in my phone and computer. I dreamed my grades were terrible, and then my high school friend asked a lot of people to come tutor me, and she tutored me too. I just kept going to class, listening to them explain problems, going to class, listening to them explain problems. About three days passed, and then someone died. Everyone was very sad. Then I dreamed my friend brought a rice cooker to attend the funeral (the funeral was held in the classroom). Then I asked her for some salt to eat, and she actually gave me some, but the salt tasted awful. I asked her for sugar instead, and she gave me that too, and then I pretty much woke up.

Embarrassment

I dreamed I saw someone looking for something in a public locker room, and then a girl ran out and told her she went to the wrong place, that it was the men's locker room. Then that girl quickly ran out, embarrassed, saying thankfully no one was there. Then I woke up, but I didn't really wake up. I dreamed I was also in the same kind of locker room, where you could change clothes and take a shower. I saw a group of men walking over, including one of my male cousins. He saw me and smiled at me, and I smiled back. Then I thought I really wanted to take a shower too, so I took off my clothes and looked for an unused locker, but everywhere I went the lockers were taken. Then I started walking towards the back and saw a key on a platform. I walked over happily, only to find a pink kitten charm and a small round pink mirror placed next to it. I figured this locker was probably taken too, so I walked away sheepishly. At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps and thought, finally someone is here, I'll quickly ask where there's an empty locker. I turned my head and saw a group of men wrapped in bath towels, with my cousin right at the front. I feigned composure and said I went to the wrong place, then heard some girls calling me over, so I went over. Then I took a deep breath and complained to the girls, saying what kind of normal guy uses a small pink mirror and a pink bunny charm, making me think it was the women's locker room. Then I remembered the previous dream, and I thought this must be a prophetic dream. Then I really woke up. Holy shit, after waking up I rejoiced countless times that I was just dreaming just now, otherwise I would remember this awkward moment for the rest of my life, so fucking messed up.

Fighting

I dreamed I was fighting a girl I really hated in my childhood. I forget the reason. Originally, I wanted to just stab her to death, but for some reason, I knew it was my dream. I was afraid that if I stabbed someone to death in a dream, I wouldn't be able to resist killing someone in reality later on. In the end, I chose to take a heavy object, wrap it in a cloth bag, and smash her with it. But she copied me and took the exact same thing to hit me. I'm actually really afraid of pain. To avoid being hit by her, I hid, and then I started running. I ran into all kinds of houses. Just as I was about to jump down from upstairs to counterattack, I suddenly realized it was too high; a fall from this height would kill me. So I grabbed the electrical wires with my hands, planning to slide down. But the wires were very rough. Given the height, my hands should have been mangled into a bloody mess. In reality, though, I had never experienced this kind of pain, and my dreaming mind didn't know how this pain was supposed to feel. So I was both scared and confused. It should have hurt so much right then, so why didn't my hands feel anything? And then I just woke up.

Doomsday Collapse and Near-Death Experience: Earth's Destruction in a Dream

The end of the world arrived. After enduring extreme cold, extreme heat, and a plague of mosquitoes, the ground began to collapse. I watched helplessly as the house caved in and crushed down on me. My vision went black, and my very last thought was that I would never read doomsday fiction ever again... Then I woke up... I originally intended to write this dream down immediately, but I fell right back asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I had completely forgotten it. Just now, it suddenly came back to me, though without that terrifying near-death sensation I felt when I was half-awake. That final scene in the dream was quite realistic. I truly believed the Earth was being destroyed and I was going to die, yet somewhere in my subconscious, it felt like it was merely a deep sleep. I feel like this dream is quite interesting, so I am recording it before I forget.

This noon dream was so real it left me terrified after waking up

I had an incredibly real and terrifying dream during my midday nap, just thinking about it now makes me scared🥹\n\nIn the dream, I was taking a rideshare back, and the car suddenly collided with another car on the road. It was a sharp bend, and it forced the oncoming car off the cliff😌 After the crash, the driver didn't stop. Instead, he took me along as he fled the scene, and I didn't dare say much.\n\nAfter driving for about half an hour, the car suddenly stopped. I still held onto a lucky thought, wondering if the driver had finally found his conscience. But it turned out he just drove the car to a place that looked like a gathering point. At the time, I still didn't realize it was a scam. I asked him if I could just pay the fare first and call another car. He said, then give me 1 million! I said why😓 If not, let's just call the police. He said you can call the police, no problem. But the call just wouldn't go through. I thought my phone was broken at the time, so I asked to borrow a phone from a woman next to me. The people around just said, it's useless, don't even think about it...\n\nOnly then did I belatedly realize that he hadn't found his conscience at all; the place was full of scammers, and I had been roped right in. They told me that unless I coughed up 1 million, I shouldn't even think about leaving, and I would stay here forever.\n\nI was surrounded entirely by women, both old and young. I asked one of them how long she had been here, and she said over ten years. At that moment, I completely broke down, with only one thought in my mind: I might as well be dead.\n\nThinking of the people I had just seen the day before, I felt in a daze that it was probably the last time I'd see them, and I was so devastated I couldn't breathe. I regretted why I hadn't been better to them! I didn't even know if I'd ever have the chance to see them again in this lifetime[可怜R] The intense despair and sense of reality crushed me until I couldn't catch my breath, when suddenly the alarm rang, and I jolted awake, my heart still pounding wildly. Thank goodness! It was just a dream. It was really too scary, thank goodness it was just a dream, so terrifying🫠

Is it a Nightmare, a Dream within a Dream, or a Ghost?

Is it a Nightmare, a Dream within a Dream, or a Ghost?

Around 4 PM, I suddenly jolted awake. The confinement on my body abruptly released, my chest heaving violently as I greedily gasped for fresh air. Looking back at my sleeping child, I'm still here. How wonderful. The earlier events and scenes in the dream were very chaotic, so I'll just get straight to the point. I usually take a nap with my child in the afternoon. This was my first episode of sleep paralysis since last summer. Originally, my husband was sleeping with us too, but he got up to work overtime. I only heard him get up; I didn't hear him close the front door, so I assumed he was working in the living room. My dream-self thought so too. That's why I kept calling out for my husband outside. The Dream: I woke up, only to find my nightmare-bound body paralyzed on the bed, unable to move. First attempt to save myself: I tried hard to raise my hands and wave them in the air, attempting to wake my suppressed, immobilized body. The extended arm was transparent, like an ethereal soul. I felt I had exhausted all my strength, yet it was futile. Out of the corner of my eye, I glimpsed my actual elbow still bent and resting on the pillow, knowing I was still controlled by the nightmare. Second attempt: I realized that waving vigorously to wake myself didn't work, so I started slapping my own face with that transparent hand. But it was still useless. Then I stuck my fingers into my mouth and started biting myself, trying to use pain to wake up. No matter how hard my mouth worked, my teeth couldn't clench together; they merely brushed shallowly against my fingers. No matter how hard I bit, it felt like gnawing on a piece of rubber. My cheeks ached from the exertion, but my fingers felt no pain at all. I started stacking two fingers together, trying to use the thickness to increase my bite force, but no matter what I did, it still felt like biting rubber (PS: the feeling of biting rubber also appeared in my sleep paralysis last summer). After failing to wake my nightmare-self, I started crying out for help to my husband in the living room. Third attempt (calling for help): When I found that pain couldn't break me out of the nightmare, I pinned my hopes on my husband working in the living room. I tried calling his name: Jia Ge~ Jia Ge~ I used all my strength for every shout, but the voice that came out was incredibly weak, as if only I could hear it. When I started seeking help from the outside, the power of my nightmare began to grow furious. Some characters started appearing above my head, things that looked like Bagua trigrams but with a few extra lines. My dream-self secretly told me to remember these characters and patterns to have someone look at them later. (I couldn't remember them upon waking). I started to panic, struggling to sit up, my calls growing more urgent. My husband in the living room heard some noise and was about to come open the door, but the door wouldn't open. I began calling out almost frantically to Jia Ge standing at the door. Jia Ge~ Jia Ge~ The voice I let out suddenly wasn't my own; it was incredibly eerie, like the voice of the Yinshi King. Hearing the strange voice, Jia Ge wanted to open the door, but he just couldn't. I started to struggle; I wanted to open the door myself. I struggled to get up again and again, and finally, it was no longer a transparent soul rising. I rolled off the bed, dragging the blanket with me. I wanted to crawl forward. It was clearly only a distance of one or two meters, but I just couldn't make it across. Every time I crawled forward, grabbed the edge of the wardrobe to pull myself toward the door, I was dragged back. After several attempts, I was dragged back onto the bed. That force seemed to fly into a rage out of humiliation. Unable to control me, it decided to kill me. My blanket started moving on its own to cover my nose and mouth. I struggled, suffocating, desperately screaming for help. Help~ Just as I was thinking I didn't want to die, that I still had my child, yet found myself utterly helpless, at the final moment on the verge of suffocation... I finally truly woke up from the dream. The tightly gripped heart released, and the heavy mountain on my body was moved away. My waking posture was exactly the same as the posture of my physical body lying on the bed that my transparent shell had seen when it left my body. Knowing it was sleep paralysis, I was so glad none of it was real, but that realistic sensation made my scalp tingle. I got up to see if my husband was working overtime at home, but he wasn't; he had gone to the office. There was a scene in the dream where my husband came in to check on the child and wanted to cover him with the blanket. I said there was no need, it was very hot. Then he closed the door and left. I don't know if that was real or part of the dream; I'll ask him when he gets back.

Bridge in a Dream: Hindered by Gravity and Searching for Cold Drinks

I dreamed of a dilapidated bridge spanning a river, with crushed stones and mud on both sides. Nearby, someone was renting out ancient costumes. I wanted to cross the bridge, but the gravity on it was immense. I struggled to take two or three steps before being pushed back to where I started. This repeated over and over, so I went to ask the boss of the nearby costume shop. He said you shouldn't be here, you need to go to the bridge up above. So I went to the upper bridge. While waiting in line, I saw someone selling water on the bridge, so I ran over to the side of the bridge to buy some. It was very hot, and I wanted to buy a cold drink, but I searched many shops and none of them sold cold drinks. They said people here don't like drinking cold drinks. The shops had very few types of room-temperature beverages, and they were covered in a lot of dust. I bought a bottle of nearly expired juice, and then I woke up.

Dreaming of the Three Kingdoms: Wu's Battles, Fighting Alongside My Brother, and Zhou Yu's Reluctant Fire Attack

Last night I suddenly had a dream. I dreamt I was in a time resembling antiquity, and I had an older brother. I can't remember his approximate age, I just know such a person existed. We were probably in the state of Wu, and most likely descendants of the Sun family (like Sun Quan or Sun Ce), or perhaps the children of some high-ranking official. They went off to attack another place, leaving us behind in the military camp. Then there must have been an enemy raid. This brother went out to kill the enemy, and I looked for a weapon inside and followed him out. In my impression, there were only a few people, and we took care of them. Later, Wu won. When they returned in triumph, they seemed to be debriefing. I saw a man, quite pale and delicate. Subconsciously, I felt he was Zhou Yu (it was as if I just knew upon seeing him). He said he was forced to use a fire attack as a last resort, giving off a feeling of being very conflicted and unwilling to use it. Also, I didn't know if my perspective was male or female. I just remember that later, this person who used the fire attack had a very good relationship with me, probably not a master-servant kind. And he was very beautiful, very pale and stunning, somewhat like a live-action version of Dongfang Yuechu. That's all I remember, and then I woke up.

Dreaming of Failing Exams and the Fear of Floating on Water

In the dream I kept doing exam papers, and they handed me back many papers I had already finished, but with low scores—Chinese, biology, English exams and the like. Then I dreamed my husband and I fell into the water, with me at the bottom. We fell into a pool, and the duckweed in the pool held me up. But I was so afraid there were snakes under the duckweed. After getting up, the clothes on my bottom were wet, and I went into a clothing store. The clerk said the cheapest pants were 8 bucks, and together with a top, she asked me for 100. I said I'd just give her 8. Then she said to give her 20. I refused, took off the pants, and gave them back to her. My original clothes had somewhat dried because I dawdled for so long. And there were so many people. Now my head is spinning.

Agent 233-chan!

I dreamt I was an agent, male, and there was someone I liked at my police department. (In the dream's setting) the person I liked was very beautiful, with sky-blue long hair, and so gentle. Then there was a murderer who kept targeting our department. He kept provoking us, and then he threatened me to enter a building all by myself. This building had 6 floors and was almost completely dark inside. There were two elevators; the suspect used one of them. To catch up with him, I planned to use the other, but as soon as I got in, something felt wrong, so I came back out. I decided to head to the other elevator, and just as I went over, I saw it coming down. I immediately raised my gun, aiming at the elevator doors, waiting for them to open. Then I actually saw the suspect, and for some reason, the elevator she was in had lights—it was very bright and pretty, a sort of hotel color. The suspect immediately raised her hands in surrender, saying she wanted to take me somewhere, or else she would do something (I forgot what). I had to agree. Then the two of us took the elevator to the roof. I told her she'd better just surrender, but she said she had originally planned to commit suicide here, but I ruined it. Then the police arrived; several helicopters shone their floodlights on us, and the bottom of the building was full of police cars. She looked back at me and smiled, and then I escorted her away. Then my colleagues and I were chatting. I said I was really unlucky, and my colleague agreed. Then the person I liked rushed over, expressing how worried she was about me, asking how I was, and then we got together. She even took me back to her place to wash up and sleep, because I didn't have a home at all; I usually just slept right at the department. Then, while I was still at her place, another murder happened, again targeting a colleague at the department. But because I had just finished the last one, the boss let me take a day off, so I stayed at her place with her all day. On the third day, I went to the department. As soon as I got there, I saw someone delivering packages—it was takeout, lots and lots of lunchboxes. The lunchboxes looked very nice, with a mix of meat and vegetables. Although they looked cheap, they were very appetizing. The people in our division happened to be hungry; someone opened a box and was about to start eating, then I heard a scream. The lunchbox was thrown to the ground. I immediately picked up the lunchbox closest to me and rummaged through it. Under the vegetables, there was a lot of 'gluten'. I could tell at a glance that this bloody gluten had been extracted from a human body. And there were enough of these lunchboxes for everyone in our department to have one. I glanced at the lunchboxes and estimated there were about 50 or even more. For some reason, at that time, my girlfriend was already pregnant, and it was my child. I told her not to look, not to get involved in this case, because she was going on leave. Then, for some reason, I suddenly saw a part of the future. I saw us looking at hundreds of bloody shoes in a box by a farm for a long time. We also saw many pigs on the farm, and we guessed that the suspect probably fed the victims' bodies to the pigs. Then I heard my girlfriend call my name. She asked me how the case was going. I couldn't answer her; even though I saw the future, we still didn't have any clues right now. I had to give her a perfunctory answer and continue pursuing the case. Then we found a clue and chased the suspect to an abandoned building. It was a really huge building. And for some reason, I suddenly became a woman, and I didn't feel it was strange at all, as if I had always been a woman, and I was also pregnant. Everyone else wore suits and shirts to work, but I was wearing a purple plush dress. Then the suspect used some unknown threat to make everyone obey him. He made us stand on two sides by gender, line up, and face one direction. Wherever he walked, the people there had to turn their backs to him. Then he used one person to show us how he extracted the 'gluten', and then he slashed our clothes open from the back one by one. When it was my turn, the feeling was just too real. I didn't feel pain; he only slashed the clothes, but the tip of the knife drawing a cross on my back felt incredibly real. I was really nervous. But then the suspect suddenly surrendered, and I don't know why. Then, except for the people handling the case, the rest of us went downstairs. As I was going down, I saw my girlfriend. She was playing with water nearby downstairs; maybe she just happened to be in the area. So I went to find her. My colleague even teased me that I forget everything the moment I see my girlfriend. (At this point, I was a man again.) I rushed up and hugged her, saying I missed her so much. Then we went home, and then I woke up.

1 Zombies 2 Overtime 3 Baffling

(Had 3 dreams last night) (The first one) There were two tall buildings, and between them was a skybridge with its stairs completely collapsed. But in the middle of the skybridge, there were a few ropes originally meant only for humans to climb up and sleep on, which the zombies had also discovered, and they were trying with all their might to climb up too. So we had no choice but to block these few entry points where they were coming up. But the zombies kept squirming up in an endless stream, so we had to abandon the skybridge. We ran to the edge of the skybridge and had a teammate open a cover on the outside of the wall, then jumped straight in. This passage led directly to the basement. I don't remember what the basement was for either, seems like some kind of dispute happened? Then I only remember running on top of a wall, a black, endless wall. I was stepping on individual bricks on top of it, running incredibly fast. (The sky was very dark then, it was almost nightfall. The sky didn't seem to have many clouds but was a hazy grey, as if it was about to rain.) (The second one) I dreamt I was a corporate drone. Everyone in our company had forgotten the deadline for a project, and by the time we all remembered, there was only one day left. But at this time, for some reason, I caused some other issues (the rather urgent kind, and this also concerned the whole company). I begged everyone in the company to come and help, and everyone did come. Then by the time my issue was resolved it was already night, and we had to submit the project the next day. Then the boss bought boxed meals and coffee for every one of us, and informed us that no one was to even think about sleeping today, everyone had to get the project done for him before sleeping, especially me, finish the work before sleeping. I sheepishly agreed. (The third dream) I dreamt I was in a high school. Originally I was just wandering around with nothing to do, and walked to a room to watch a teacher dancing a dance I really like. I was just watching him dance, but as he danced he suddenly pulled me in to dance together, saying this was the dance club and I was already a member, which left me utterly baffled. Then he suddenly said no playing on phones. I was already dancing and wasn't playing on my phone, which left me even more baffled. Then he confiscated my phone, and the phones of all the students nearby, and continued dancing. After a while a teacher appeared at the door, he checked that we weren't playing on our phones and then left, and then the dance teacher gave our phones back to us. Then most of the students left, a few were just playing on their phones, leaving only me dancing. I thought this dance club teacher was really quite pitiful, how come it was just me left, so I stayed a bit longer, and then left. Then I went out and saw it was raining outside, and the people from the school next door were preparing for exams (our school was two high schools sharing one school's grounds). Because I was wearing my own clothes, and passed by many people from the other school (their school strictly required wearing uniforms, our school wasn't that strict), I attracted a lot of attention. Then I suddenly got a message on my phone. I opened it to look, and it was sent by a principal. The principal messaged me to say: I saw the provocative post you made last week. Let's settle this once and for all with this exam! Go collect all the exam papers and put them on my desk, I will go look at them. I was very baffled, really, because I had never written a provocative post, much less would I go provoke our principal. We all called that teacher "Zhang Bo". His surname wasn't Zhang, and his name had nothing to do with Bo, it was just because he looked like a classmate surnamed Zhang, and he himself had a doctoral degree (boshi), so we called him "Zhang Bo". Who in their right mind would go provoke a teacher with a doctoral degree? Looking for death? Then I replied to him saying I had never provoked him, and I had asked around, our school didn't have any exams recently, where would I get exam papers for him to write? The teacher only replied with one word: Oh. Then he told me to find exam papers and put them on his desk. I really felt it was baffling, but still went to look. I took exam papers from the school next door and went to find the teacher's desk. Halfway there I walked into a tower, and in that tower I saw two teachers arguing. One was our music teacher, she was our student council teacher, and the other was a Crow Teacher. He wore an elegant black suit and spoke very politely, many students liked him. (Not meaning that the music teacher was unlikable, the music teacher was also very nice, she was also very liked by everyone.) Then I heard the conversation between the two teachers. Music Teacher: Why on earth did you come to our school? Because of you someone in our school even died! Crow Teacher: This matter itself has nothing to do with me, you know that. Music Teacher: Why on earth did you come to our school, because of you our whole school has been infected with bad luck! (Because Crow Teacher was our school's mascot, and other schools' mascots were all white, only our school was a black crow) Crow Teacher: You'll have to ask your principal about this matter, he's the one who hired me, I only came by invitation. Then I remembered, a short time ago it seemed a student had committed suicide by jumping off a building, but it didn't cause too much of a commotion, the school seemed to have suppressed it, not many people noticed. With the music teacher saying this I remembered, why did that student jump off the building again? I forgot. But this wasn't important either, my current task was to go deliver the exam papers. Then I seemed to have found our principal's office, but I ran into the principal on the way. Just as I was about to give him the exam papers, he asked me, do you know why I'm called "Zhang Bo"? I said I didn't know (actually I was just answering along with the teacher's question, I said it earlier. I knew the answer, I was just curious why the teacher would ask this question). Then the teacher gave an answer I never expected. He said his name's English name is actually spelled "Li pai". I was so baffled, I really had never heard this name, and no matter how you spell this "Li pai" it wouldn't be "Zhang Bo", right? Before I could interrupt, he just kept talking to himself: "Actually 11 years ago I was in a car accident. I luckily survived that car accident. At that time I was originally about to die, but at the very end I struck a 'Dog Faction (pai)' pose, and then I survived. Then I was truly speechless, so your "pai" really just means faction (pai)? And here I thought the meaning was so profound? (Translating for foreigners, pai is the pinyin for faction) And what's with this dog, he drew the original movement for me, it was just a normal body stretching forward, it had absolutely nothing to do with a dog, okay? And if we're talking about a dog, how did it become "Li" in the English name? ("Li" and "dog" have absolutely nothing to do with each other, okay?) It left me utterly baffled, and then I bafflingly woke up.
