I think I may be a very boring person bc everyone I know has really off the wall monstery nightmares and listen. ALL my bad dreams are about anxiety from real world fears. I can IMAGINE a scary monster but I'm not sure I've ever DREAMED one.

My bad dream last night was about confronting two girls outside the supermarket for shouting insults at me and my partner and ending up getting chased with a knife then having to grab a cactus to get inside then bring late for something then getting filmed in a public place by Andrew Tate making tiktoks about the degeneracy of modern women. it was very anxious and painful and in the dream Sam was mad with me for getting us chased and hurt and late.

(but it's ok bc I said "aren't you meant to be in a Romanian prison" and smashed all 3 of Andrew Tate's phones very satisfyingly with no repercussions, and after that Sam cheered up and we had a lovely evening inventing a hipster cafe)

but the thing is this is all my Bad Dreams, like, not the ones with the most fucked up stuff happening but the ones that upset me the most and make me wake up all upscuttled. it's all stuff like I Am In A Car I Cannot Drive and I'm Late For Important Things and I Am On A Long Distance Mode Of Public Transport And I Am Trying To Physically Murder My Sibling and I Am In An Awkward Social Situation.

this has always been the flavour of most of my Distressing Dreams and I worry that this is final proof that I'm cripplingly Sensible.

#my most recent Wake Up In Misery dream before this one was an extended sequence where i was at a party #that my ex was also unexpectedly at #and i was having serious trauma responses but also didn't want to be rude and when i tried to quietly excuse myself #the person having the party made a huge thing about it and about me being super unfair to the ex and how he's a really good guy #distressing? yes. interesting? no. THAT'S JUST A THING THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.#like BRAIN. LEARN ABOUT METAPHORS.#dreams are meant to be METAPHORS for the anxieties you have not just STRAIGHT UP THE THING YOU'RE ANXIOUS ABOUT #i do have a special second kind of nightmare which is a lot weirder and is called Something Is Outside #I've only had 2.5 versions of this dream i remember vividly though #and one was the scariest fucking thing in my life but it was also. INCREDIBLY NORMAL?#i was sleeping on my friends sofa both in real and in the dream and in my dream i woke up and the was a girl in a red t-shirt outside #and i KNEW she wanted to get in. and in the dream i remembered having seen her earlier in the day outside my friend's mum's window #and she was just a normal person but for some reason i was absolutely TERRIFIED of her seeing me or coming inside #woke myself up so freaked out i couldn't sleep all night #and then there was the one where i was in a house that became underwater and a giant kitten with searchlight eyes was outside.#that one WAS very weird but unusually so #red said
