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.

Dreamt I was hired by the underworld and told to work the night shift, what should I do?

I had such a long dream last night... I went to the underworld and participated in layers of selection, and every assessment was so macabre?! Finally, on a high platform, there was a long table with several people sitting behind it, their faces blurred. They told me to come to work at night, and gave me a huge notebook, letting me take a glance at my future. It was densely packed with words, which I can't remember anymore. I'm getting sleepy now, but I don't dare to sleep! 😅 Writing down what I remember, I really can't hold on anymore, I need to sleep... There were about three, four, or five levels, like a game. Was there a written Q&A? I can't remember. In one level, all participants were told to hang themselves, die by hanging, and let their souls leave their bodies. I pulled the rope with my hands and padded it with something, so I didn't croak. The referee found out, said I broke the rules, finished me off with one slash, and took my soul to the next level. Extremely macabre! There was also a level similar to deep meditation?! Something was lit nearby, and we were told to keep ourselves from being bewitched by something. I can't remember what happened in the middle, but someone gave me a pull along the way, and then I passed the level... The last thing I remember clearly is a certain 'underworld messenger' handing me a super large notebook. The words inside glowed a bit, recording my future. Unfortunately, I forgot it after reading... A corporate slave by day, do I have to continue at night... Around 5 AM on 20260425, I woke up, and sure enough, I dreamt again. First of all, I am a person with very good sleep quality. I wear a sleep monitoring watch and rarely dream. Yesterday's content was as follows: I dreamt I was with a group of people, heading to a certain place. The scene was very wasteland-style, the sky was yellowish, and everything was ruined. We seemed to stop at a place where there was a huge stone tablet, very tall. We were also riding in a rather broken car, why was everything so broken. Then I saw a wasp? Bee? Hornet? I couldn't tell, anyway, a flying insect was following us. I'm most afraid of bugs 😂 I really can't remember what happened after that, or what someone said to me in a conversation. Anyway, I knew we had to go do something, but whether we did it or not, I don't know.

The Virus-Infected Village and the Nightmare of Pursuit

In my dream, it was the village where I lived as a child. Many people gathered in the village; everyone was expressionless, as if controlled by a virus, attacking anyone they saw. They held stones in their hands and smashed them violently against each other's heads. The bloody and violent scene was utterly terrifying. I hid everywhere, but those people spread out like a virus, completely devoid of human consciousness. I ran desperately until I was exhausted, but there was an endless stream of people chasing me from behind. I felt so desperate. Stumbling and crawling, I crossed a ditch. After getting onto the bank, I hid behind a haystack to catch my breath for a moment. Soon, the infected people spotted me. I had no choice but to gather my courage and keep running, heading towards my grandmother's village. On the way, I saw an astonishing sight: hundreds, perhaps thousands, of magnificent horses galloping towards me. All the horses were draped in incredibly long, glossy, light pink hair. The hair on their four lower legs was also exceptionally long; only the hair on their thighs was short. They just galloped towards me like fast-moving clouds. With no time to think, I quickly dashed into the river ditch and climbed up to the cornfield on the opposite side. The corn seedlings were thigh-high and grew sparsely. By bending down, I could hide from the crazed humans. Feeling slightly safer, I ran madly deeper into the field. Later, I arrived at my grandmother's village. This village was much quieter, seemingly not yet contaminated by the virus. I rested for a moment in a hidden spot. When I looked out again, the people outside were already acting strange, their eyes glazed over. It wasn't safe to stay here for long, but the environment outside was not good either. There were ruined walls and rubble everywhere, as if it had been through a catastrophe. Just then, a cold gleam flashed before my eyes. A machete slashed towards me. I barely dodged it, scrambled to grab a wooden stick, and fought back with zero technique. There was a thicker stick in the distance, but I failed to grab it several times. Later, somehow, we called a truce because we both realized the other was a normal person. Interestingly, the other person was a girl with short hair, wearing an army-green combat suit, looking very tough. So I had a companion. We hid in a truck to rest. She patted her shoulder, letting me lie down to sleep. Soon she fell asleep herself. How could I dare to sleep? I looked around vigilantly. Sure enough, I saw two trucks coming from the direction of my village, filled with infected people. I shook her awake. She immediately prepared for battle, but my sixth sense told me we couldn't defeat them. The girl, however, didn't seem to think that much; her expression was normal, showing no fear. I said goodbye to her and prepared to find a safe place. Heading east was the direction to the city; perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope for survival. Stumbling along the way, I barely managed to stay alive. Ahead was a river with clear water. Corpses were bobbing up and down in it, their faces soaked pale by the river water. I wasn't very scared, but I felt disgusted. I lingered on the bank for quite a while until I heard roaring sounds approaching from afar. Only then did I muster the courage to wade across the river. In the distance was a deep, dark path shaded by trees, leading to who knows where...

Mysterious Salvation in a Dream: Canyon, Bodhisattva, and the White-Clad Immortal

Who on earth is this person!\n💗 I had this dream last November.\nLet me first talk about my state of mind at the time.\n\nThe neighbors upstairs are massive noise-makers and have been torturing me for years.\nI was already quite annoyed, but those few days a low-frequency noise suddenly appeared, constantly vibrating. It was worst in the bedroom, making it completely impossible to sleep. I was on the verge of a breakdown.\n\nThat day, I pitched a tent and slept in the living room, but I still couldn't fall asleep until 4 a.m.\n\nI turned on my phone and played the Great Compassion Mantra. Strangely enough, I fell asleep very quickly and then had this dream.\n\nIn the dream, I was in a deep mountain canyon. The canyon was shaped like a giant spoon, surrounded by dense jungle.\n\nI was standing right in the center of the spoon, surrounded by a circle of giant Bodhisattva statues.\n\nIt wasn't Guanyin; I had never seen this Bodhisattva before. He was a very young male Bodhisattva, about twenty years old, tall and slender, but very lean—just the appearance of a twenty-year-old boy, and his face was smiling.\n\nAnd I was no longer a middle-aged woman, but a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy, seemingly being watched over here to undergo punishment and cultivation.\n\nAt this moment, an immortal floated over from the distant sky (at the handle of the spoon). He had a mount beside him (I don't know what animal it was, I couldn't see it clearly in the dream), but he wasn't riding it. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the void, arriving side-by-side with his mount.\n\nHe was dressed all in white, exuding an ethereal aura, wearing ancient attire with long hair casually tied up at the crown of his head.\n\nHe was between 30 and 35 years old, with well-proportioned facial features, a serene countenance, and a handsome appearance. He slowly approached from afar, looking down at me from above with a face full of smiles.\n\nI kept staring at his face, so much so that I didn't get a clear look at what animal was beside him.\n\nHe looked at me and smiled, as if he knew me very well, but I didn't recognize him. His smile felt like that of an elder who hasn't seen you in a long time, looking at a child with that kind of warmth.\n\nI was woken up by the noise at this point in the dream, but that face was just too clear.\n\nEven though there was some distance when I looked at him, the moment I woke up, that smiling face suddenly magnified in my mind.\n\nThe strands of hair at his temples, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his high bridge of the nose, his slightly short jaw—I remember all these details vividly.\n\nWho on earth is this person?\nI thought through everyone who has appeared in my life since childhood, and there was no one.\nI dug out photos of all the celebrities, trying to find a resemblance, but none looked like him.\nI used AI to synthesize it, but it was still too far off.\n\nActually, a few days later, his face became blurry in my mind. These are all things I recorded in my memo; only the general appearance remains, the spirit is gone.\n\nThe miraculous thing is that the noise that had tortured me for ten days was resolved that very night. I feel like he came to save me.💗💜🩷

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🫠

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.

Giant Birch Forest and the Smiling God Cloud

An endless forest of white birches, the trees towering into the clouds, their trunks ten meters thick. In the sky, there was a cloud shaped like the head of a Western deity, complete with distinct facial features and strands of hair, even wearing a smile on its face. From a certain angle, the branches of the birch trees looked like its limbs and torso. The few people ahead of me were all hurrying along, who knows what for, while I was the only one turning my head to look at that cloud.

Amusement Park

I dreamed I was walking along the side of a road and saw a few cars parked there. I remembered that parking wasn't allowed here. As I was almost at the end of the road, I remembered you could get money for taking photos and reporting them, but I had already walked too far, so I let it go. Then I dreamed my mom and I had just finished grocery shopping. She was carrying a lot of vegetables, so I went to help her carry them. But after I took them, she didn't seem to wait for me. She walked very fast and soon disappeared from sight. It was already dark. I realized that by following my mom, I had unknowingly walked to a scenic spot by a river. Many people were buying tickets to row boats, but the river water was very high relative to the road, and we had to walk down a very steep slope to go downstairs. I kept trying to recall which path my mom had actually taken, constantly checking the road surface and below. Finally, I figured she probably took the path down along the river. I saw a nearby building that said you could take the stairs down, so I went inside. (The groceries in my hands had disappeared at some point.) Then I went in and found it was actually an amusement ride. It was a large rectangular building. In the stairwell of the building, there were continuous giant square stones suspended. The volume of each one almost took up an entire floor, except for the platform on each floor leading to the office area. The giant stones were placed at an angle, with only a tiny protruding stone step at the edge of the wall. Walking against the wall and the giant stones was very interesting, but the further down I went, the darker and weirder it got. Originally, there were no gaps between the stone steps, because I was walking down mindlessly, until my foot stepped into empty space. Moreover, someone noticed the way back had disappeared, and the people who fell down had also disappeared. Everyone started to get scared. I told everyone not to panic, to just finish the walk and get out first. Behind me was a little boy. I was worried he would fall from fear. Behind him was an old man who couldn't help him. The gap between the giant stones and the wall was too small to change positions at all, and the platforms and windows on each floor had disappeared. Later on, for these stone steps, you basically had to sit on the upper step and then touch the ground with your feet. I let the little boy step on my shoulders to come down. He was very scared and sometimes cried. I kept encouraging him. At this time, no one spoke, no one rushed anyone, no one was annoyed; everyone was silently and quietly making their way. I dreamed that after we reached the very bottom, everyone just wanted to leave this hellhole, but I noticed the path we had taken had returned to its original state, and I wanted to go up and take a look. So I went up. At first, it was just normal walking upwards, but as I got close to the top floor, I realized I was dreaming, because my walking encountered a feeling similar to sleep paralysis. I wanted to move forward very badly, but I was very sleepy and tired. It was really hard to take a step, and even if I did, I was just walking in place. I was really trying hard to move forward, but the further I went, the sleepier I got. Until I turned my head and found I was already on the roof. I saw a girl and a skylight. Under the skylight was a dirt mound. Walking up it, you could directly touch the skylight. There were many green plants on the mound, which I hadn't noticed at the time. I was very curious about what the girl by the skylight was doing, so I went to look. Only when I got closer did I suddenly realize I was in the water. That wasn't a skylight; it was the opening of a pond. Was this building actually underwater? Because I saw fish swimming beside me. But when I took a few steps back, I could breathe again (actually I could breathe in the water too, it was just difficult). Then I started playing around. I would occasionally pop my head out of the pond to breathe the air, and occasionally catch little fish to play with. Then I came out. I climbed ashore and found that outside was a very old, dilapidated amusement park that still had a few tourists. I found my friends and played with them, but my clothes were all wet. I found a giant hair dryer nearby to dry them. Before my clothes were dry, 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.

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.

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.

Little Maid Looking for a Dream Online!

This afternoon, because I was very tired and felt unwell, I took a nap. I was woken up by some noise, but after waking up, I kept wondering what I had just dreamed about. Then I fell asleep again just like that, and I had a very magical dream. In the dream, I was in a very dark, boundless world. There was a huge 3D rectangle, but only its frame remained, and the frame kept emitting a faint white light. Then I saw many little, adorable versions of myself. They were wearing maid outfits, holding brooms and little lamps emitting a faint white light, cleaning up inside the 3D rectangle. Some were sweeping the floor, some were mopping with rags, some were using feather dusters to dust the 3D frame, and there was one holding a large magnifying glass, wearing a Sherlock Holmes version of a maid outfit, observing everywhere. Then the sweeping me asked the Sherlock Holmes maid me: Did you find the dream? The Sherlock Holmes maid me: Not at all, there is only a tiny trace left, barely visible. Our dream has been scared away by them, it is all their fault. Then I continued searching, and then I woke up.

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.
