I keep waking up exhausted and I am relatively sure these damn intense nightmares are to blame. I try to sleep in, but I can’t, and I am just overwhelmed with fatigue anyway.
HOW DO I MAKE THEM STOP. I just want to feel like myself again and not shuffle around all day like I’m about to fall asleep standing up. :/ I thought once i got out of the stressful situation(s) and got the dreaded paperwork out of the way, I’d be able to sleep.

Sometimes there’s clues in the dreams themselves as to what the cause is, but this time…I was a long-lost princess returning to her land (which looked a lot like an arcade?) and some people believed I was her, others didn’t. Then I turned into a prince and the king killed my little brother in front of me because he had messed up the future with a magic sword. Also there was something about a ghost girl with black eyes and black hair.

I JUST DON’T GET IT BRAIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

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.

I just remembered that I had this bizarre dream that I was in some kind of post-apocalyptic world, and my friends and I found our way to a haven of survivors and it was strangely just AWESOME. Like, everyone there was totally content and happy, and having a good time, and it was clean, and apparently this retro-futuristic airport place with a huge water park in the middle. And I figured out that it was a long-abandoned Chicago airport that had been flooded, converted to a water park, abandoned, and now was cleaned up and home to a bunch of people, and there was apparently a really awesome arcade/game room down in the lower levels so my friends and I started to head that direction. I looked outside of the window, and there was a GIANT pool in this kinda courtyard place where there used to be terminals and planes, and people were jumping off the building and swinging off of these amusement park thingies and swimming around, and an older guy walked up and talked to me about the game room downstairs, and he said that most of the games were gone now, though some were probably still there, but he didn’t seem to know he was in Chicago, so he was happy to hear that news. And then I woke up.

???

Nothing about that dream made sense, but at least it wasn’t a nightmare?

I dreamed that I was climbing around outside of a really tall building, trying to get inside to save these two girls I was visiting the city with, who were being held hostage. I finally got in, but I was attacked and blacked out. When I woke up, there were a bunch of random women standing over me mugging me and accusing me of attempted murder.

I have more anxiety over the fish nightmare I had…

IT’S OKAY WE ALL HAVE WEIRD DREAMS also *sits on* glad everyone survived

I have so many weird dreams. I also last night, dreamed that I was at a con as Loki, and I was with this girl who was just being a TOTAL jerk. It was like she and I were friends, but for most of the dream she didn’t want to be seen with me because I was crossplaying or not an anime character or something. And then I found a Joker cosplayer and we hung out and started doing parkour around the con grounds and people were getting our pictures and other people joined in and that part was really pretty awesome XD

I have more anxiety over the fish nightmare I had last night, than the rather graphic one the night before about the airport full of people whose faces were exploding for no apparent reason.

I wonder about myself sometimes.

I had a dream about this random guy named Thomas last night. We were fighting some kind of revolution against these…I don’t know what they were, mercenary soldier dudes hired by the government who were keeping a bunch of people hostage in an airport. Except that Tom and I and our crew of fighter people just happened to be there trying to break into the airport and steal something. Airplanes, IDK. We got in a shootout and ended up saving all the hostages, though I think all our guys died.

I dreamed that there was this really talented dance team who dressed up like Tron Uprising characters and incorporated painted frisbees into their routine. It was pretty impressive. I remember thinking “I wish I had my camera, I could record a video for my friends on tumblr”

yeah. wow. a dream video. that would be something!
