Dream Creature - Mummy Locust
First Encountered: February 1st, 2025 - 7:47 AM Original Entry: Social media dommy mommy locust mummy. Invisible? Barrier between dreams and reality.
Translation: A half-woman, half locust, whose entire body is covered in bandages. Upon unwrapping her bandages, it was revealed that there is nothing underneath. Current theory is that her true form is invisible, which allows her to pass through barriers, but she wraps herself in bandages to give the illusion of corporeal form.
#iirc the locust was originally bandaged too but that's a lot harder to draw#also she is somehow related to and/or a metaphorical representation of social media#dream creature#dream art#surreal#creature design#dream diary#2025

A Nightmare - Spine Dog
First Encountered: December 24, 2024 - 9:44 AM Original Entry: A dog whose torso is literally just a spine and a few other bones, nothing else. Black fur. Creepy, looks like starving. Can pick it up like a purse handle.

Thought I lost my original dream diary for this one, and was very sad. But I finally managed to dig it up, and I'm very happy I did:
Original Entry [abridged]: “This was a story about a jealous smoke man and an angel. The smoke man was trapped In the burning house until all his skin charred and fell off. There was a scene where this angel was sitting in his house alone, and a wisp of a smile entered.
At first, the angel was afraid, but then he remembered his psychologist told him there was no smoke man, this was just an ordinary man. But his psychologist was wrong. The angel drinks his tea and more smoke fills the room, and the angel gets scared and tries to fly away, but a long tendril of smoke reaches out and grabs the angel by the ankle and drags him back inside”
A Nightmare - The Smoke Man
First Appearance: Est. 2010-2011 Threat Level: Deadly
Nobody knows how the fire started. But all they know is that a man remained. But even as the black smoke filled his lungs, and the flames lapped at his cheeks, the man did not die. Smoke and soul melding to his body, like charred rags still clinging to his frail frame.
But on the bright side, The Smoke Man will never be without company. As he lures weary travelers to his home and waits for them to fall asleep, before filling the room with smoke. Using his smoky tendrils to slam doors and grasp fleeing limbs, should anyone try to escape his burning embrace.
#definitely gotta comic/animate this one later#still no date though thanks past me#dream diary#dream journal#surreal#horror#cw body horror#lore

Dream Creature - The Mask Goblin
First Encountered: June 23, 2024 Threat Level: Annoying Lore: Despite its elegant appearance, the mask goblin is a chaotic and rather vulgar creature, whose favorite hobby is ruining other people's games. For example, if it witnesses two people playing chess in a public park, it might hop on the table and start knocking pieces over, throwing them as far as it can. Usually screaming some combination of "Fuck you", and "King me".
Getting upset or angry at the mask goblin only seems to encourage it. For now, it seems the best practice is either to ignore it, or join in with its antics. In which case, the mask goblin will eventually get bored and leave, and look for someone else to bother instead.
#this thing also had a voice and it sounds exactly like what you'd expect and the complete opposite#dream creature#dream art#surreal#character design#dream diary#2024

First Met: exact date unknown, check paper records Last Spotted: April 22nd, 2024
Originally nicknamed "Tracey", this runaway teen was first spotted hitch-hiking across a post-apocalyptic old west. Unfortunately, the first car that stopped turned out to belong to a pair of bandits - lead by the notorious and immortal Miss Honey. Who survived her attempted murder by her fiancé, and is now enjoying her bloody revenge quest and a life of crime consequence-free.
While few have walked away from an encounter with the undead outlaw, we believe that Tracey must have survived and escaped at some point. As a near-identical woman was spotted riding in the wasteland several years later - now working as a bounty hunter and wildlife conservationist under the name Coyote "Kay" Love.

Dream Creature - "Nirn"
First Encountered: March 18th, 2024 - 3:26 AM Threat Level: N/A Lore: Nirn appear to be some form of tall, lapine creatures, which I gave shelter in my home, upon learning that they were being hunted.
Peaceful and highly empathetic, the Nirn are telepathic, and posses a unique ability called Genetic Memory - which allows them to pass down their memories and life experience down to their offspring. Their incredible wisdom, intelligence, and strong emotional bonds allowing their kin to survive and adapt at an incredible rate.
Unfortunately, their strong aversion to causing any sort of pain, even in self-defense, has left them particularity vulnerable to those who wish them harm.
