What is this?



This is a blog where I'll be writing up any dreams I feel I'm awake enough to write about. I may even do some analysis.

Treat this as a Dream Diary, basically.

6th August 21 - Island

I'm on an island at night. It feels vaguely tropical, and my senses are screaming danger. There are vampires on the island, multiple factions of them. I get the feeling that I am the only human here, and that I belong to the only faction that doesn't want to tear me to shreds. Something is holding the other factions back though; every faction is accruing votes and if mine doesn't gather enough, I will be torn apart. The votes for the factions are all going up, mine going up the slowest though. Vampires sensing the direction things are going in start circling and I rush to the safe haven of a nearby camp.

As I get to the camp, dawn hits. The camp looks like a collection of tree-houses, ladders, and the occasional hut on the ground. There are about 20 or so people here, all humans. There are no vampires on this island, but there are dinosaurs, and the camp is waiting for the next incursion. The dinosaurs on this island travel in packs, and attack often. The next attack is theorised to come soon, and the camp is feeling like it may very well be the last attack they have to suffer. My vision shifts to a zoomed out view of the island and I can see waves of dinosaurs approaching the camp, multiple different species. It's clear that we can't stay there, we would be easily overwhelmed. On a distant part of the island though there is a bridge, and I believe it is about time we were rescued.

The bridge leads to a city that looks a lot like New York. I get the feeling that I have been trapped on this island and that this bridge is new, but it looks solid and old and the city easily approachable. I have to wait for something to cross first though; King Kong. He is easily large enough to crush the bridge with a flick of his hand, but my brain tells me that he crosses the bridge by foot, and disappears into the island to presumably fight the waves of dinosaurs. The bridge itself now has several large black deposits, remnants of Kong's passing.

I choose not to cross the bridge, but only because his passage had rendered the state of this island as 'safe'. I turn around and there is now a small modern tropical village following the road that the bridge leads to. There is an airport present, smaller on the outside than it is on the inside, which I discover as I head in. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go starts playing and various comedic scenes play out as I go through airport security and board a plane. The vibes are 'early 00s romcom credits scenes', small humorous moments played out over 15-20 seconds before flashing straight onto the next. One of the people involved in these scenes may have been a young Woody Allen, another being a blonde Carrie-Anne Moss.

Safe on the plane, I then wake up.
