Daily Prompt

The Daily Post has a Daily Prompt today called Ebb And Flow, and this is what it says:

Our blogs morph over time, as interests shift and life happens. Write a post for your blog — but three years in the future.

And this is my response:

Because my blog is mostly a dream blog, a post three years in the future would be about the same as today’s post, a post about the dreams that I remembered during the night; and so my dreams from last night in this post can be used to answer this prompt:

Dream 1

I had a variety of interesting dreams from last night that I remembered part of but I was so comfortable in bed that I did not get up to voice record them so I stayed in bed daydreaming, thinking, and sometimes dreaming again until I forgot some of the dreams and I forgot most of the dreams that I did remember part of; but fortunately I still barely remember part of three dreams.

My brother CC is visiting and this is my first time seeing him in over a year so I have spent most of the day with him and my parent’s so I have forgotten even more of my dreams because I have not been thinking about them today so I am typing this very late, but I do still remember a few parts of my dreams.

All that I can remember of this dream is that at the end of the dream I was on some maybe wooden platforms that were all separated from each other near a wooden dock-like area with couches on each platform in the middle of the ocean with some of my family and some other people, at some point sharks (probably Great White Sharks) and/or something like that attacked me, and they were trying to grab me off the platforms.

I tried to stand where they could not reach me but the sharks/whatever kept jumping out of the water to get closer to me, they started to grab me and I think that I remember some police officers helping grab me to stop them from pulling me in the water, and we struggled to not be pulled in; and maybe a few police officers got grabbed into the water by the sharks, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream is that at the end of the dream I was inside a fictional college dorm that I probably used to stay at but I probably no longer stayed there, I remember going into one of the dorm suites which was nice and it had an interesting design where the shared areas were across the entire middle part of the suite, and the private rooms were on the left and right sides of the suite.

Everyone was gone, I can not remember why I was there exactly but I was possibly there to see my male former classmates JC and DH and/or hoping the find an empty dorm room to stay in for free until I could afford to pay for one as I possibly try to return to college to finally finish, but I can not remember.

I remember going into one of the dorm rooms that was either not being used or the owner was gone, I remember spending some time in the room and suite, and then I remember being in a bathroom; and then when I was leaving the bathroom a woman with whitish colored skin who was a college student saw me, at first she probably assumed that I was visiting someone, but she probably called some of her suitemates to see if they knew me.

None of them did and so she probably confronted me, but maybe my former classmates JC and DH arrived and let her know that they knew me before she could call security but I could be wrong; there was more to this dream, this dream was longer and I did a lot more thinking, and there was more feelings to this dream as I probably hoped to not get caught and I hoped to be able to finish college but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 3

All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place during the day and I remember some parts of the dream taking place in the field by my parent’s yard, at the bus stop area of The E House, on the porch of the reddish colored house across the street from The E House and inside the house, and a few other areas when walking through these areas.

This dream is too unclear but I know that it involved at least two women during different parts of the dream, both of them were unique and strange and maybe even non-human or non-human-like, and I remember one of the women living at the reddish colored house.

We somehow met and had a good conversation on her porch and then inside her house and things were going good until something that I can not remember happened, she became angry and a bit crazy, and she made me leave; and later in the dream I met another woman who was similar to her at the bus stop area, and we had a good conversation at first.

Once again something that I can not remember went wrong and she became angry and a bit crazy and she left, and then I left; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Following A Werewolf

Once again my dream recall got effected/affected by me needing to use the bathroom but holding it in until later, and so I forgot all of my dreams except for barely part of the end of my last dream.

This dream is very unclear so I am not exactly sure who are what I was at times, I just know that the dream took place during the night in a fictional neighborhood in a dock-like area outside of a city that you could see in the distance because of the many lights that were on inside and outside of large buildings in the city, but I can not remember if there was any water around this area or not.

There were some lower-class houses with porches and almost shotgun-style house designs among some nicer middle-class two-story houses, I remember seeing a humanoid creäture that was possibly a werewolf and maybe there was another creäture that I saw but I can not remember, and I possibly sneaked around following the werewolf and/or I turned into a werewolf to find the other creäture or to follow the werewolf and/or I became the werewolf who I was following and/or something else strange like that.

The werewolf was a man/male who walked on two feet and he had two arms and he was still wearing clothing that was probably partly torn during his transformation, he sneaked around and through houses like he was looking for something/someone (probably the other creäture), and he was trying to avoid being seen and it seemed that he did not want to hurt anyone.

Things were mostly quiet except that some of the houses had children playing, I can only remember seeing one adult who was the mother of some of the children, and the werewolf sneaked around successfully until a boy possibly saw him at some point; and the boy told the other children and his mother that he thought that he saw something, and so they started looking around.

The werewolf barely managed to escape outside and mostly avoid being seen by climbing and jumping on houses, it is possibly that one or more of the children/the mother possibly saw his shadow or saw him moving in the distance, but they probably could not tell what he was; and he probably hid on/behind a roof of a two-story house until they stopped looking out their window.

I woke up as he was trying to figure out what to do next.

Looking For Somewhere Safe

Dream 1

I do not feel like typing my dreams today and so I will not waste much time, all that I can remember of the first dream is that it took place during the day inside my parent’s house, and I was in the living room with my brother GC possibly trying to play some video games.

At some point in the dream I thought that I saw a shadow of a person move outside the window near the back door, so I got up to investigate, but then the older daughter who used to live in The G House entered the living room from the laundry room to our surprise/confusion; and then her younger sister entered the living room from the glass doors to the dining room.

I can not remember if they said anything or not, I just remember them looking bored like they were waiting on something/someone, and I remember my mom saying something to them about maybe not disturbing us or something like that; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

This dream was a pretty deep dream I think, it is unclear but I think that it took place during the day in a dream world where one or more major disasters happened like zombie-like attacks, and the dream world had a somewhat strange-looking/feeling environment (maybe somewhat surreal) and part of the dream world seemed to be based on some of my dreams that are somewhat inspired by the Fallout video games.

It seemed that many people were dead and/or gone and/or hiding in this dream world, you had to be cautious of threats from other people and maybe zombie-like entities, and I remember wandering around the dream world in mostly open areas away from cities looking for somewhere safe and/or for a group of people to join with and/or to help people; and I came across various people I knew like some of my former classmates like my former male classmate JR and maybe my former female classmate CW as I wandered, but none of them joined me.

I wandered alone until I reached the edge of a city with a lake/river/whatever and docks separating the open wilderness area where I was from the city, there were buildings/businesses along the docks, and so I was going to search this outer area of the city for somewhere safe because normally it was more dangerous further inside cities.

I swam or somehow crossed the lake/water to the docks, there was a small clothing boutique in this area that I was going to explore first, but to my surprise several scared women with light-medium brownish colored skin walked outside of it when they saw me; and one of them was a bit old so I assumed that she was the grandmother, and that the other women were her granddaughters.

I told them that I was not going to hurt them but then in the distance I saw two men with whitish colored skin looking around, I was not sure if they were dangerous or not, and so I told the women about them and I suggested that we hide and get ready to defend ourselves and the building if necessary; and so I ran into the boutique with them, we started trying to close and lock the doors after I suggested it, but one of the doors would not close or lock so we had to run hide with it still open because the two men were approaching.

I ran into a room and I ducked down to hide, I picked up a metal fork/pick-like utensil from the floor that is used to flip barbecue because I needed a weapon (I was somewhat afraid that they had guns, that they were dangerous, and that I would have to fight them with only a fork/whatever 😀 ), and then I heard the two men enter the boutique; and after waiting for them to get a bit closer and after building up enough courage/energy I looked up again to prepare to approach them with my weapon but I was surprised to see that the room was now full of boys, young men, and men (coaches) for maybe a baseball team all wearing light blueish and whitish colored baseball uniforms.

The two men seemed to have been scouting for a safe building for the team to hide in, I approached the group to talk to them and my former male classmate CB was among them, and then the women came out of hiding when I told them that it was safe; and then I sat down on a wooden bench to talk to my former classmate CB, he seemed to know a lot about me and he provided some comic relief, and I remember us talking about various things.

I remember telling him that I met our former classmates JR and CW during my journey, he told me that he did not like our former classmate JR and that our former classmate JR did not really like us, and somehow he knew that I used to like our former female classmate CW back when we were in high school and he mentioned this asking me about what happened when we met again and he made some jokes about this.

Then our conversation became deep and emotional when he asked me a certain question that I can not remember, I paused and I took some deep breaths as emotions and memories overcame me of the zombie-like creatures attacking my family and others and I, and the many horrors of the disaster and how they effected/affected me; and I started trying to stop myself from crying, and I remember my voice breaking up and I had to keep pausing because I could not talk.

I probably cried a bit as I talked about the hatred and many emotions that I had felt after the zombie-like attacks, I told my former classmate CB that I used to have a lot of hatred for those creatures, and that hate had started to consume me as I probably wandered around trying to get revenge by killing all of the zombies/whatever that I could find (I assume that they killed my family); and that my hatred grew so much that one day I realized that I needed to let it go, and that this hatred was destroying me.

Somehow I finally let the hatred go and I instantly felt better and I started focusing on trying to live instead of focusing on revenge and death and despair et cetera, my former classmate CB listened to my story, and he said a few things and then he lifted the mood again; and our conversation continued in a more positive direction, but I woke up.

There is a problem that randomly happens where the text in my posts gets duplicated and / or jumbled together, and / or YouTube links do not embed in the Classic Editor after I click Publish.

We are trying to figure this out at the WordPress.com Forums (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/duplicate-text-problem-in-classic-editor?replies=10#post-2204512).

So this post is a fixed version and the other post is the messed up version so that they can see this bug live / in real-time.

I will probably continue doing this until this is fixed, and then I will probably delete the messed up posts or leave at least one of them for future reference if this issue happens again in the future.

I forgot all of my dreams from last night except for barely part of my last dream because I did not voice record my dreams during the night when waking up to use the bathroom.

Not only that, I think that this dream was inspired by a news article that I read last night, but I can not find that news article now.

The news article was about the recent NAACP Building / Barber Shop Bombing, where they showed a sketch / drawing of the possible bomber/suspect.

Some people commented in the comment section of that news article that the possible bomber / suspect looked a bit like an alien:

I had several dreams last night but I forgot most of them, my memory of the last two dreams are blurred together, and I do not feel like taking much time to type my dreams today; and so I will probably not waste much time typing these dreams, and so expect missing details.

Dream 1

All that I remember of the first dream is that it possibly took place on a gray day in a slightly fictional version of the city of D, and maybe my dad and maybe mom and I were going to a fictional body of water near where The Post Office should be.
