Apparently I've been reading a bit too much six of crows/watching a bit too much shadow and bone (just finished reading crooked kingdom and started a S1 rewatch), because I had a dream about burgling a house.

I had a dream about a She-Hulk prequel film last night, where Jen had bleached blonde hair instead, but still in a short curly bob. She was in college and had just finished her thesis and told her supervisor 'I deserve gifts'. Other than watching a MCU film last night (BPWF) I really don't know where any of that came from.

Last night I dreamt I was in some kind of cooking contest and borrowed a recipe from someone for an amazing blueberry and lime pie that somehow involved mushy peas and mashed potatoes too. I have clearly seen too many of those videos for weird recipes.

I don't know why my brain decided inventing attack hedgehogs for a bad dream was a great idea. They look normal at first but are sort of a cross between hedgehogs and sea urchins, that latch onto you after dark and are really tricky to get off. And painful to have on you since they latch on with many teeth - do other people have dreams where you feel pain because mine unfortunately do.

I'd also moved into a house in my dream where we'd somehow but not noticed the window was falling apart until opening it and not being able to close it simply since pieces just fell out. Then it was like a puzzle of window segments that had to be held together just right until you closed it and locked them back into place.

I had a dream recently where I was in a shop but it was very noisy so I couldn’t hear the person behind the counter describing an item I wanted to me. So she shouted loudly that we’d switch to ‘trollversation’, which was apparently really exaggerated facial expressions/miming to get the point across.

I had a dream last night which I feel the need to share, for it had the mecha T-rex equivalent of a centaur. Picture mechanised T-Rex legs and a human upper half but giant human I guess (maybe I should blame playing Wizards unite yesterday for that). Mind you, the human half was a lot more vague, possibly also cyborg because I can't picture it clearly.

And we kept referring to them as T-some number so I think there was terminator references going on there, despite the general vibe being end of S2 of Stranger Things when they're trying to escape the facility.

We also had a plan to erupt a volcano to 'contain the threat' but we ended up washing back up on this island where they all were and having to deal with whatever they were again. Lots of creeping around corridors and trying to trap smaller terminator mecha dinosaurs in lifts somehow to delay them (because they couldn't be contained forever and would ultimately punch their way out).

I present to you a random arse dream I had recently. It gets odd and rather dark, probably due to what I was writing lately. I feel like my brain did invent a possibly fun new way to do murder mysteries with it though.

I had a very strange but cool dream last night. I woke up and was ‘aw, it wasn’t real’ about at least some parts of it.

I dreamt I was at some kind of outdoor event and part of it had a fanfic reenactment - by the actual actors - of a Merlin/Arthur(from BBC Merlin)/Regina from OUAT OT3 fic. Regina was in the stands nearby and Arthur approached the stands addressing her. There was something about how originally (in dream!canon?) the first meeting had Arthur flick a cocktail stick so hard it stuck in a wooden bench impressively, only in this OT3 reenactment Regina and Arthur met first and she used magic probably to catch the cocktail stick in the cocktail stick holder instead. I cannot adequately explain any of this part of the dream really, it’s just very WTF. I’ve never even considered that OT3 before either so it is truly random.

Anyhow, at the sports event/fanfic reenactment, I somehow met up with an online friend. Totally no clue if this was meant to be we arranged to meetup or somehow stumbled across each other. Turns out online friend was unexpectedly British, with a posh but rather nice voice, and also was transmasculine and had a passing resemblance to S1 The Flash Hartley too. We got on well, and became very good friends in person. I think we ended up in a QPR basically? Was nice, lots of checking in about boundaries and getting comfortable with each other. There were forms of affection we agreed to that other people associate with dating but it wasn’t dating.

The bit where it gets weirder still is that near the end of the dream we ended up going around places for open days. It was either stately home based hotels or fancy boarding schools, I think the latter makes more sense but who knows. The places had baroque style ballrooms and that’s important to the dream. The purpose of this touring the open days was at least in part to troll the places though. Me they read as a woman despite being nonbinary because true to reality I can’t really stop people assuming that with how I look, and my online friend who was genderqueer transmasculine they read as a man, so they thought we were hetero and dating and liked us. But then we revealed we were not, actually very queer thanks, and they weren’t happy about it. Except they couldn’t toss us out because it was an open day with other people around and that would look bad. So we then waltzed around together flaunting our queerness in their silently fuming faces. And when I say waltzed, I do literally mean did the waltz in aforementioned ballroom.

I had a dream last night where everyone was insisting there could never be a better female villain character than the one in a specific hit film. And then in my dream the sequel came out...It had Marina Sirtis as a most magnificent villainess with amazing presence and in a showstopping outfit I can’t even begin to adequately describe.
