I just had a really…weird apocalyptic dream complete with wastelands and the sky turning dark and the only place the air was remotely breathable was Texas

(I guess because it was far enough away from whatever burned the sky) and a bunch of us took shelter in this…abandoned day spa thing? Sleipnir was there briefly. We were all trying to get somewhere, even though we were already in Texas. I think we were trying to get a signal through to some other survivors but there weren’t any mountains because Texas so we were trying to find a tall building. Mostly there was a lot of rubble and industrial canals.

There was a neighborhood where I bartered some…reptiles? for a boat? which turned into a fleet of cars so we could keep driving? And some kids who lived there were really excited about this. Also there were handmade posters up all around for some apocalypse band (which in my brain was a game texture that I’d seen in other houses and I suddenly realized I was in a video game). We drove off across what I am guessing was my brain’s interpretation of post-apocalyptic Central Texas.

Then we got captured by what was left of a church congregation and hoisted up like…200 feet above a pool. We could undo our harnesses but we probably would die…but I was like…heck I’m gonna take that chance. I dropped into the pool and everything went slow-motion and I heard my OWN VOICE doing a voice over something about “you know how when you’re born or when you die, everything seems to slow down?” like that’s a normal human experience everyone has memories of. And I could breathe underwater, and I just stayed down there for a while, enjoying being underwater. 

Then I woke up. 

I had this weird dream that I was rich and owned two horses, one named Netflix and he was a huge, grumpy dapple grey warmblood with a poofy mane. I was shopping for a quarter sheet for him and I found one with the Muppets on it (???) and I thought it was perfect apparently (but all of the other choices were kind of weird and tacky, like there was one really colorful one with this strange anime design on it).

Apparently my dad owned a major tack store chain or something? so I could basically just walk around and pick what I wanted whenever. And I saw this girl crying because she couldn’t afford new breeches so I started walking around grabbing breeches and random tack items for her because why not, but knowing that if my dad caught me doing it I’d be in trouble because I’m -supposed- to be rich and snobby and not nice to people. And the tack store kept shifting and I couldn’t find the headstalls, but for some reason, it was really important to me that I get her a headstall to match the breeches.

I dreamed last night that I was at a hotel where there was a convention going and I wasn’t at the con, but I was in partial costume for some reason. I walked past where people were lining up for a panel, and there were some Guardians cosplayers in line, so I went to say hi. I didn’t get there before they went inside the panel, but the other Star-Lord waved at me. But then, I was grabbed by this lady who was all “WHY AREN’T YOU IN HERE, WE’RE ABOUT TO START?? WHERE’S YOUR PASS?” and I was like ummm and she shoved me toward the pass table before I could say anything and she said “come on, we’ve got to get you registered” and I guess I just really really miss cons.

last night I dreamed I was ranting about clothes and how gendered they were like “how come this shirt is a guy shirt? the only difference is that it is $10 cheaper,“ and I was so angry and think maybe I spend too much time on Tumblr

I had this dream last night that I was looking at some really beautifully done artwork depicting how all the princesses eventually die anyway by the thing they were “rescued” from. Snow White gets food poisoning, etc. 

my dream last night was me playing three different parts in this film about aliens passively occupying Earth until they suddenly gassed everyone and threw them into makeshift camps made from shopping malls

one person was this lady who was slowly crumbling inside in fear while trying to control everything around her
one person was a woman who was secretly alien and secretly knew what was going on, but couldn’t tell anyone even though she was starting to sympathize with the humans
one person was a young guy who had sort of ended up in the middle of everything and genuinely wanted to help, but didn’t know how, and people kept asking him to help with rescues and such when crap hit the fan because BIG STRONG STRAPPING MAN etc, but he kept bungling things despite his best efforts and the one thing he did excel at was comforting this little girl who was terrified.

I dreamed last night that I spent spring break camping on a beach in France, and ended up with an alien baby who suddenly grew up…he was an adorable genius but had absolutely no social/communication skills. And then my family showed up, and thought it was really unseemly that I had this random slightly creepy guy following me around (who was actually my rapidly-aged space son but how the heck do you explain that).

I had a dream last night where I went to a fast food place, but they wouldn’t let me get food until I’d participated in some kind of battle,
so I pulled out a lightcycle baton and rode circles around the other
guy.

Then I took off down the street, and there were pink flowers growing along the side of the street, and they glowed. It was really cool until the lightcycle stopped working.

I dreamed about the new BSG last night…I was arguing about religion with Roslin, and I think Tigh was there, but he was sitting waaaay off to the side like “neh, I can’t be bothered” and at one point I threatened to punch Roslin in the face? Which sounds about right. But still. WHY.
