Weird WEIRD dream last night
This guy, girl, and I were living in this forest/jungle/swamp place that was imbued with magic. I was some kind of monster? Idk it was not really clear, but I was sort of the sidekick to the guy, who was a prince or a knight or something. There was a kind of romance thing going on where the girl and guy were supposed to fall in love but they just weren’t clicking somehow, but they kept trying anyway because the girl really reallllly wanted to be with this noble prince/knight dude.
My character just wanted to be recognized as a person, and cared about. He? didn’t really care about romance so much, just didn’t want to feel so alone. But because he was some kind of beast, everyone just assumed that he didn’t really feel these kinds of feelings, and he was kinda shy and quiet anyway so they didn’t know. (this happens to me a lot in dreams, I end up playing a character, and I have to figure out what my role is, it’s like a really immersive improv performance)
Every year there was a harvest, when meat would appear all over the ground and we had to run around and grab as much as we could before the wild boar/dog things got it. But because of the magic, sometimes it was meat and sometimes it was just bones, and you wouldn’t know which until you picked it up. The knightprinceguy and the girl were running around grabbing stuff, but the girl didn’t want to get much because she was afraid of getting dirty or getting attacked, so the guy had to get twice as much to help her out so she wouldn’t starve. He got really tired and wandered into the swampy area, even though it was full of dark magic and his nobleness would attract it really fast in a bad way.
My character ran in after him and tried to get him to leave, and go back to the girl. The dark magic left me alone, so I said I would gather extra and bring it to them. He agreed, and everything went really well (except apparently we started keeping in touch via Skype but my laptop screen started melting like a pancake). Then a tree violently hit me on the head and I fell into the swamp.
I woke up in a hospital and the girl was there, saying how she was sorry this had happened to me and if there was anything she could do. I said I would like if she would give me a hug. Just once. Just so I could know what it felt like to be cared about. She reached out, and then shuddered and laughed, “EW haha you’re such a joker.” and left.
I then changed the dream to timeskip it and suddenly the prince and I were in a trailer about to make out.
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OK THEN THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY.
