Getting Lost At A Shopping Mall And A College

Dream 1

This dream took place at a maybe multi-story shopping mall, and my former male classmate DH was maybe a security guard there.

I remember DH and I walking and talking through the shopping mall on our way somewhere, maybe we were going to an area where you could do kart racing inside the building with go-karts, and I remember seeing some people racing go-karts around at some point; but I needed to urinate so I remember trying to find a bathroom.

I remember getting lost for a while during this, but I woke up at some point during this.

Dream 2

This dream took place at a college, and my brother GC and I had just moved into a dormitory (dorm) to start college there.

At some point my brother GC was sleeping when I left to find a bathroom and / or a certain political room that I thought that I had seen earlier.

Our dorm room was possibly in a semi-outdoor area that possibly had a wide and large concrete walkway with rooms on both sides, everything was covered and like an indoor buildings except for the floor and the fact that both ends were open to the outside, and both of those openings were connected to some covered and / or uncovered walkways that were otherwise open to the outside.

I walked around lost for awhile trying to find the men’s bathroom and / or a political room, after awhile I found a women’s bathroom, and then I found a right-wing political room but it was locked; and I continued looking for the men’s bathroom and the other political room, but I woke up.

The end,

Resurrecting Myself?

Dream 1

I had one or more dreams involving some things that I saw, heard, did, et cetera during the day.

One of these dreams possibly involved the television show Game Of Thrones (Season 8), possibly Episode 3 (The Long Night) which I watched before going to sleep, but that is all that I can remember of these dreams.

Dream 2

In this dream I went to a fictional resort-like place in maybe the state of Texas in The United States, but I could be wrong.

In this dream my parents and my brother GC had visited this resort before, and they possibly visited me briefly and then they left; and maybe they sent me some books and several other items.

I stayed at the resort for two days or so, and then I went to the main lobby to checkout to leave back home.

In the main lobby I found some items that I had lost, all the employees were women, and they checked the items that I had and my records while talking to me during the checkout process.

I possibly had a semi-daydream after this because I probably woke up needing to urinate, but I possibly briefly partly went back to sleep before getting up to urinate.

During this brief time I possibly had a brief semi-daydream, a male police officer walked up behind me with his pistol drawn and he held me at gunpoint asking me if I was someone else (he had mistaken me for someone else I guess, and so I kept my hands up with my palms facing forward while complying and asking for permission and announcing my moves each time before making them but I woke up again because I really needed to urinate.

Dream 3

The end of this dream involved maybe my parents calling me during the day by mobile phone telling me that a fictional restaurant that was in a slightly fictional version of the D High School gym was having a free lunch, and so I drove there and I went inside to check this alleged free lunch (meal) special at this restaurant.

Inside the gym I saw where you get your food and pay for your food in the stands on the left side of the gym, and maybe there were some tables and chairs that you could sit at on and near the sides of the gym floor / basketball court.

A regular female patron at The BP Library Ms. TW was there near the stairs for the stands on the left side where you needed to walk to reach the area to get and pay for your food, I greeted her and she said something to me that I can not remember, and then there was maybe a menu and a newspaper before you get to the first employee who was a woman.

The female employee told me that you needed a special code to get the free lunch (meal), and that you had to meet certain special requirements that were listed in a newspaper article where they had advertised the free meal so I walked over to the newspaper trying to find the special code and the requirements.

Something interesting happened during this that is unfortunately unclear now, somehow I did not voice record this part of the dream, and only later in the day after waking up did I remember part of something that happened during this part of the dream.

All that I can remember now is that somehow I died during this, maybe I got the code wrong or I did not meet the requirements but I can not remember, I think that someone possibly sabotaged things by maybe giving them the wrong name for me or something and somehow this caused me to die; but unfortunately I can not remember what happened exactly unfortunately, I just know that I died.

When I died I did not wake up, I was still there somewhat like maybe I was in an in-between state (maybe I was separated from my body and was near it or I was in small other dimension where I could still see everything or I was in my body still, but I can not remember) so maybe no one could see me and maybe I could not really move but my body was probably still in the dream, but I can not remember.

I just know that somehow I did something that I can not remember, and whatever I did resurrected me (brought me back to life) and I returned to the dream or to my body or I was able to move my body again or whatever; but unfortunately I can not remember any of the details of what happened during this brief interesting part of the dream.

I just know that afterward I wondered had someone sabotaged things to cause my death, and I wondered if it was one of the employees or someone else.

I am not sure if I somewhat cheated to resurrect myself or not, I wish that I could remember what happened exactly, I am not sure how I failed to voice record this part of the dream.

Anyway, that is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,

Someone Using Ointment To Change Their Age?

I do not feel like typing my dreams that I recorded with some quick text notes on my mobile phone from bed, and so I will just copy and paste those notes with only minor edits.

Dream 1

This dream involved an old frail looking person carrying ingredients who walked into our outdoor area during the day several times.

This old frail looking person combined the ingredients together, and made maybe an ointment.

When this person would rub the ointment on they would turn young looking.

It seemed that this was possibly some kind of magic and / or alchemy used to maybe hide their real appearance so that this person could sneak into our outdoor area each time, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

This dream involved me working at a library with fictional and real coworkers of mine like my coworker Mr. CF, and a man with light-color skin who was a supervisor or director.

I was in some employee areas, I talked to and I helped Mr. CF, and then I helped my fictional male coworker in his office and I helped outside moving some things including some vehicles.

One part of the dream involved something about Russia and The President Of Russia Vladimir Putin was mentioned.

I then helped one or two male patrons with some DVDs that they brought.

Two or three were playable custom DVDs, one DVD was blank, one DVD may have had pictures on it.

They wanted to know how to play and access the DVDs on a computer, and so I tried to show them how on one of our computers that had a Linux distribution as the operating system.

I showed them the VLC Media Player (VLC) program and how to play the DVDs with it, I showed them how to change the default program to open DVDs et cetera, how to use the Computer folder to see connected devices and drives, et cetera.

But I woke up.

The end,

Robot Carnival

Source: IMDb

What is it?

The 1987 Japanese anime anthology original video animation (OVA) Robot Carnival.

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this anime OVA:

This anthology contains eight short animated films from top Japanese animators, all concerned with robotics.

The range is broad, from comedy to suspense to love stories.

Not every segment is completely successful, but the overall quality is high.

Dedicated anime fans should be pleased.

~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

My Thoughts

I saw this or part of this anime (animated) anthology movie many years ago probably on the Syfy channel, and recently my brother GC and I watched it.

This movie was not as good as I thought that it would be, it was better in the beginning with my favorite being Presence, but things got worse from the middle on; and so overall this was pretty scatterbrained, experimental, and incomplete.

I hope that someone will make a Robot Carnival 2 one day that is better than this.

The end,
