#there were also a bunch of teenage girl bounty hunters also on bikes that i infiltrated at one point by pretending to also be hunting me?

[in-tua-deep]

had a fun and funky dream last night

OKAY SO picture this: sort of post-apocalyptic time frame. me: a 30s to 40s year old scientist man, who is helping a man named only "the professor" become a more competent scientist for his small group of people. the professor's science room is a classroom of an old high school, and i have been helping him pick up and gather more science equipment. i am poking through the drawers and admiring how much more we have gathered, and i note that the beaker for the first part of an experiment is not in the drawer. i turn around, and the professor is at the head of the classroom, and he has the beaker. there is what seems to be liquid light inside of it, and it is boiling. it shoots out of the beaker, and the professor angles it away from himself (ofc) and it sends this brilliant arc of molten sparking light across the room

I immediately turn around to grab a notebook (have to write it down for it to be science!) and get hit in the back of the neck by some of the liquid. i am trying to write down what the professor is saying. the professor's wife comes in and is like WHAT is happening. Unbenowngst to me, I have started to glow with a faint light blue light! Which the professor immediately starts freaking out and babbling about. I am telling him to slow down so I can write it down - and then he does! I thank him - except it's the world that slowed down??? Not him? and I still haven't noticed I'm glowing?? I go to lean against the counter as the professor and his wife run towards me, and as they almost reach me, I sort of... clip through the counter? I am VERY ALARMED by this? and the professor manages to grab me and yank me back out of the counter and i go stumbling backwards towards the center of the room and suddenly i'm not in the room anymore

I'm in a black and sort of teal-ish landscape of nothingness and i am shaking apart at the seams? I am still glowing but now I have noticed. It is agony as I shake myself apart, feel like I am being torn in two. The buzzing increases until finally I seem to - split? Suddenly in this place (which my mind labels The Burn Zone) there is me and... also me, but a silhouette of me, all black and no features and very frightening. The figure seems to look at me and then just... turns and sprints away, and suddenly I am on the floor in the classroom again and people are helping me sit up and asking me what the fuck happened

and then one of the people is like "Hey bro you got a new tattoo?" and i look down at my leg and there is a bulldog tattoo there I have never seen before. and suddenly I have a suspicion and pull up my lab coat sleeve and just as I thought - my incredibly cool science themed tattoo sleeve is no longer there? and has ben replaced by what seems to be???? someone else's tattoo sleeve? and i know that i shook myself in half and so the half of me that was gone HAD to be replaced by something, and that my arm and leg have been replaced by a stranger's arm and leg. and that the stranger is probably a criminal?

anyway the final part was after a little timeskip. i was driving a bus full of kids. i put both hands on the wheel and suddenly my not-me-hand yanks at the wheel, almost jerking us off the road before I get the bus under control. i remember just feeling so frustrated - just being like "well fuck fine i guess i'll just have to drive the bus one handed. and i can't even CALL the professor because i doubt my hand would cooperate to hecking put the phone number in right. asshole hand." and i just really vividly remember the light grey gravel of the road we were driving on, and then i took a wrong turn but i still pretty much knew where we were so it didn't really matter.

anyway then i woke up uwu

good morning y'all
