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.

An Adventure Story

I dreamt that a partner and I were in an abandoned building. I was preparing to go from the first-floor lobby to the top floor, but when I went over to look, I saw that the middle of the building was hollowed out, as if it had vanished into thin air. Then we just jumped straight up, but as soon as I got up there, two dark shadows attacked. I suddenly felt a bit powerless, so I immediately took my teammate and started running away, with the shadows in hot pursuit. After fighting for two rounds, the shadows just grabbed me. I was tied up in a van, but my vision wasn't blocked. I saw the van drive into the mountains, passing through a giant stone gate. Behind the stone gate was a nearly 45-degree downhill slope and extremely high iron railings. After a while, we reached the destination. Someone got me out of the van and threw me into a place. There were many people here. I observed their expressions; they didn't look angry or sad, just like they were trying hard to figure something out. I went up and asked, only to find out this was an escape room, and they needed to escape from here. I stepped forward to help think of a solution and opened a room. In that room, you couldn't touch anything, but you could take things that dropped automatically—they could save your life at a critical moment. I didn't know why either. The room looked very small, but there were many iron shelves and junk boxes filled with various things, making it very hard to walk through. When we finally made it through, we looked up and saw a gigantic clown holding a baseball bat. I took the lead, turned my head, and ran. The clown chased after us madly, sending people away with one strike of the bat each. Everyone finally realized something was wrong and started shouting loudly for help, but no one came to save us, and no one paid any attention. Halfway through my escape, I suddenly saw that I had returned to the starting point, the very first building. I needed to go upstairs. This time I was very cautious. As soon as I went up, I started fighting back and successfully drove away the dark shadows, but as soon as the shadows left, I returned to the starting point again. Could it be that I had to go with the dark shadows? But suddenly, an extra piece of memory appeared in my mind, the memory of the people who attacked me: they were two young girls. I didn't know why they wanted to kidnap me. They knew I was strong, so they started collecting items before I arrived. They had two items: one could make me weak, which explained why I had no strength at the very beginning, and the other could hide them. But they felt it wasn't enough, so they found a monster in the building, killed it, and got an item that could enhance themselves. Then they hid. They were actually hiding above the lobby. Because there were no lights, it was very dark. One of them could control water, and the other could control gravity, making the water float on the ceiling while they walked on the water's surface to observe me. After kidnapping me, one of them actually left the van because they had an argument. I couldn't even tell why they were arguing; it seemed to be because no Sichuan peppercorns were added during a meal? Or because someone didn't pass a tissue? Anyway, the reason for the argument was ridiculous. Then the other girl just threw me straight into the room. Then I woke up from the memory. This time, I went upstairs and caught the two girls. I made them drive in front and take me to the stone gate, while my teammates and I followed in our car. This time, as soon as we entered the stone gate, the two girls suddenly sped off in their car. Just as I was about to chase them, I saw a little baby on the ground, looking like it had just come out of the belly. I couldn't bear to leave the baby alone, so I got out of the car and carried it away. (This was my first time holding a baby, and I was super incredibly careful.) But as soon as I picked up the baby, I saw that my teammates were all gone, and the car was gone too. Then the stone gate seemed about to open. I immediately took the baby and hid. The baby didn't cry or fuss at all, just wriggled around in my arms. Then I saw a familiar car come in; it was the two girls' car, followed by my car. The two cars came in one after the other and just drove away. I was completely stunned, and in that moment of distraction, I returned to the very beginning of the escape room. I started solving puzzles to enter the room again, but this time, a girl, for some unknown reason, relied on me heavily, treating me like the boss and following me closely, as if she would die if she didn't. Then I survived with the girl. But for some reason, the whole room suddenly collapsed. I saw that everyone was perfectly fine. Outside the room was a lawn with many chairs set up, and someone was sitting in the very front chair facing us. It was my geography teacher, although in the dream he claimed to be a language teacher. He told us to write our recent experience into an essay, so I did. The title was 'The Balcony'. It was roughly about me looking at the scenery from a balcony, seeing mountains, water, villages, and wisps of smoke, and then connecting it to the experience just now, writing it as something I saw, and then ending it. After handing it in, I just hid, waiting until the teacher graded my essay before getting closer to everyone. It turned out the teacher was actually reading it out loud on the spot. My friend even said I had gone off-topic and might only get a passing grade. I said it was fine, I wasn't afraid of failing, and then continued listening to the teacher read my essay, while thinking to myself that if I had known, I would have gotten closer so I could hear what my ridiculous classmates had written. As soon as the teacher finished reading, I woke up.

The Hamster

I forgot whatever I dreamt about earlier, I only remember that I have a younger female cousin who was going out of town. It was hard for her to take her hamster along, so she left it with me to feed. I took the hamster home and put it in the big cage my younger sister used to keep her hamster in. Even though the cage was a bit battered from being so old, I still thought to myself that my cousin's hamster was getting a sweet deal. My sister had spent ages setting up this cage (the kind specifically made for hamsters, with lots of accessories and multiple levels). Then I forgot what I did next. Then came the second day, and I suddenly remembered I hadn't fed the hamster! I remembered my cousin had given me a little bit of hamster food, so I went to feed it immediately, and then I forgot what I did after that. On the third day, thinking the hamster was out of food, I was about to buy some hamster food online for this little guy, and then I received a message saying my cousin didn't want the hamster anymore and was giving it to me. Oh my god, such a cute little hamster just given to me like that! I immediately bought a whole sack of hamster food online and even resolved to build a new home for my little hamster—this broken cage wasn't worthy of my little hamster. But I was stopped by someone because of some unknown matter. Then came the fourth day. My hamster food arrived, and I remembered again that I hadn't fed the hamster yesterday. Oh my god, I hoped my hamster wouldn't be angry. But suddenly a massive battle broke out. At the end of the battle, it seemed like I narrowly won? I'm not sure. Then, because I had no strength left, I could only choose to take away either my hamster food or some other thing. I was genuinely worried my hamster would go hungry, so I decisively chose the hamster food. Just as I hugged the hamster food and was about to head home, I woke up.

The Price of Being a Hero

I dreamt I had a group of companions. We got along really well, and we were all heroes. Then, one time, a meeting was suddenly called because one of us had died. Everyone suspected it was me, but it wasn't. Then I don't remember what happened, but we found that person again. She told us she had indeed died once, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly gained the ability to turn back time. So we planned to find the killer together. After a fight, we decided to head straight for the boss's lair. It was a large ocean-view hotel. We kept trying to figure out how to get in without looking suspicious. Then we accidentally stumbled upon a photo of us from high school, so we decided to pretend to be a high school tour group. We arrived the next day. On our way in, we saw an amusement ride. A few boards there looked a lot like the ones from yesterday. The girl who had died really wanted to see what it was, so I had to agree. Then I climbed up to look. There were three levels, and the last one was very hard to climb. I finally made it up, but the light was so dim I could only make out a single sentence. Then I suddenly heard footsteps. A man with long silver hair was walking toward me. I wanted to get down but I was stuck. I don't remember what the silver-haired man said, I just remember an overwhelming sense of oppression. Just seeing him made me feel like I was going to die. Then that girl turned back time, and we went back. Everyone retained their memories, and we realized this time-reversal could only take us back to the same day. Then I woke up.

Heaven

I dreamt I was riding a bicycle and got hit by a truck and died. Then I took an elevator up to heaven, but the elevator had no handrails and it was too high, so I was so scared I had to crawl on it. When I got to heaven, I found it was like a giant amusement park, with pools, markets, and all kinds of things to play with. The clouds on the ground were currency; you could just take them. I originally wanted to go swimming, but there were too many people there and it wasn't very convenient. I went anyway, but as soon as I got into the water, I felt it was disgusting, like the sweat of countless people mixed with syrup, sticky and stinky. I couldn't stand the disgust and hurried out, feeling really nauseated watching others still playing in the water. Then suddenly it was nap time. Heaven has heaven's rules; everyone here has to take a nap, and there are dedicated angels to supervise. I saw a boy holding a golden stick with three pointy ends telling us to follow him. It was a back garden with a golden patterned gate and marble floors. By the road were plants that looked like bushes, only very, very tall, about 15 meters or so. The plants blocked the view of the inside of the garden, but you could see tall branches stretching out from within, casting patches of shadow on the marble ground. The place where we slept was a series of long buildings, about 6 or 7 stories high, and there were many of them, each floor looking exactly the same. There were no walls, just a square, hole-like window every 5 meters, and staggered with the windows, a white bed every 5 meters. Between each bed was a nightstand, and on each nightstand was a vase with a single white flower. I had just lain down to sleep and was just about to talk to the person next to me when I woke up.

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.

Meow

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.

Labyrinth of Flowers

I saw myself by a beach where there was a giant labyrinth built of plants. Deep within the labyrinth stood a small house. There was no electricity there, no people, only me and the plants. Beautiful flowers bloomed here all year round, opening in different seasons.

Dusk on a Late Edo Street: A Ronin's Loneliness and the Transition of Eras

It was dusk in the late Edo period. The street was wet from a recent rain. The bluestone pavement reflected a cold light, and in the distance, a few paper lanterns lit up, casting a dull yellow glow.\n\nA ronin sat by the street, backed against a mottled wooden wall plastered with illegible notices. He was about forty, his hair tied back messily, with white at his temples. His kimono was dark grey, frayed at the cuffs and hem, revealing a faded lining beneath. Spread across his knees was a cloth displaying a few of his own calligraphy pieces and paintings; the ink strokes were neat, but no one looked at them.\n\nTo his left lay his sword. The black scabbard was cracked but well-maintained, and the wrapping on the hilt, though old, was clean. It was the only thing he still treated with earnest care.\n\nHe wasn't calling out to sell his wares; he just kept his head down, looking at his own hands. Those hands bore the calluses of years spent gripping a sword, but right now, they were empty.\n\nPeople walked by on the street. Young men in Western suits and top hats, their leather shoes clicking crisply against the stone slabs. They didn't spare him a single glance. In the background, the faint silhouette of a telegraph pole could be seen, along with a newly built red-brick Western-style building in the distance, gaslight spilling from its windows.\n\nThe sky was caught between day and night. The entire scene was bathed in cool tones, save for that single touch of warm yellow from the lanterns.

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.

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...

Rainbow Flags in the Chapel and Uncontrolled Anger: A Nightmare of Self-Trial

In the dream, today was Sunday, and I went to the chapel for service with my parents. The black rectangular wooden desk in front of me was covered with my things, all objects representing my LGBT identity. There seemed to be many rainbow flags of various sizes and rainbow heart pins. Suddenly I remembered that Christians don't like these things. The feeling was like oil bubbling up from the bottom of the water. Then I smashed them all onto the floor, shattering them, trampling them to pieces. The sound they made was very muffled, very muffled. Then, like a madman, I overturned everything on the desk. There was a pile of small flags on the desk, I don't know what the pattern was, brown, a deadly amount of them, countless. I threw them all on the floor and crushed them under the soles of my shoes, hearing the faint snap of the flagpoles breaking. Hidden inside the desk drawer was a small booklet, eight pages in total. It contained the names and photos of blessed clergy. The middle page was me and my photo. The me in the photo was smiling, it was a pretty good picture. I stared at that smile for two seconds and felt that it wasn't me. I tore the booklet to shreds too, ripping it page by page, throwing it on the floor, and stomping on it many times. I was actually quite surprised to see this at the time, because I had no idea I was in this booklet. The surprise only lingered for a moment before being replaced by an inexplicable anger. The person in the seat ahead suddenly yawned, a very slow and long yawn, and his head leaned against the edge of my desk. I told him to drop dead while pushing the back of his head away; my palms were covered in sweat. Then I frantically apologized to him, a whole string of sorries. Afterwards, I stood up and started slapping myself hard in the face. I pounded my chest and head with my fists, bone against bone, making a hollow drumming sound. I cursed myself for being a huge fucking idiot while beating myself up; I swore I would beat myself to a pulp. Then I walked to the back. My parents were sitting a few rows behind. That day was their first day back from America. I walked up to them, bent down, and shouted with all my might, saying I was having a manic episode. I said everyone in the world was a fucking piece of trash, including myself. Let everyone die. The sound was so loud I thought all the glass in the chapel would shatter. But no one heard. Only my parents; they were in great pain, very quiet. After cursing, I returned to my seat. Today's preaching pastor was a thirteen-year-old girl, wearing a black dress, the hem just reaching her knees. She walked over and asked me a question. I forgot what the question was, anyway it was about Christianity. I also called her a fucking idiot, told her to go die quickly, to go back into her mother's womb and restart. I said a lot of ugly, unbearable things. Every sentence was dug out from my throat. She stood there without any reaction at all. The corner of her black skirt swayed slightly, maybe blown by the wind. The scene suddenly changed. This was an unfamiliar bedroom, a small room in my home in Beihai. A yellowed photo of my mother hung on the wall, my mother was smiling. This place, it seemed I had been here many times and yet never been here. The bedsheets were old, and outside the window there was the smell of the sea. I went mad again and smashed things, I tore the pillow open, shattered the cup, and cursed everyone in the world as fucking idiots. I ran out in the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, and my shadow was stretched very long under the streetlight. I continued to curse at the empty road, everyone is a fucking idiot, my voice swallowed by the wind. Finally, my consciousness told me to post this dream on Xiaohongshu, and not to say it was a dream. I also had to send it to an online friend, a very gentle and nice female online friend, maybe a future online girlfriend. The dream ended.

A Dream of an Upside-Down City Where Giant Jellyfish Float in a Deep-Sea Sky, and Faceless Cats Whisper of a Melting Moon

When I came to, I was walking through an upside-down city. The sky was an ultramarine blue like the deep sea, and giant jellyfish floated slowly by in place of clouds.\nThe hands of the clocks on the street corners moved backwards, and passing faceless cats whispered to one another in human voices.\n"It is almost time for the moon to melt," they said.\nLooking down, I saw that stardust had been paved in place of asphalt, and with every step I took, the faint sound of a music box played.
