Today, I noticed something on my WordPress.com My Home page which I had not seen before, which was a Daily Prompt that you could click on; and it starts a post for you with the tag, dailyprompt, and here is that Daily Prompt:
Do you want to live forever?
The YouTube video The Epic Of Gilgamesh The King Who Tried To Conquer Death – Soraya Field Fiorio by the YouTube channel TED-Ed.
Here is the description for this video:
Dive into the Epic of Gilgamesh, and follow the king of Uruk on a series of dangerous quests as he searches for immortality. — In 1849, in the ancient city of Nineveh in Iraq, archaeologists sifted through dusty remains, hoping to find records to prove that Bible stories were true. What they found instead was a 4,000-year-old story inscribed on crumbling clay tablets— a story that was so riveting, the first person to translate it started stripping from excitement. Soraya Field Fiorio tells the epic tale of Gilgamesh. Lesson by Soraya Field Fiorio, directed by Amir Houshang Moein.

Dream 1
This dream took place outside during the day, and some people were trying to break into a fenced in compound that was protected by an electric fence that possibly also had an energy barrier but I am not sure about the energy barrier part.
I went to ask them why they were doing this, they explained but I can not remember why, but they did not seem to be the villains in this situation.
They wanted me to help them, they said that I was special and that I could help them, they called me a Ghost (I seemed to be someone who could not die like I was immortal or semi-immortal, and if I could die I would probably just resurrect automatically; and maybe I had some other abilities) so I assumed that maybe I was like the main character Sam Strand (Sam Porter Bridges) from the video game Death Stranding or something like that.
I asked them how could I be a ghost if my body was physical and could touch things and be touched, I had a pulse, my body produced heat, et cetera; and they told me that Ghost was just the term that the used for people like me who had whatever special ability (abilities) that I had.
I did not want to get too involved with this situation because I did not have enough details, I did give a suggestion about how they might disable the electric fence, and either they did it or I did it; but after that I told them that they were on their own for now.
But that is all that I can remember of this dream.
Dream 2
This dream took place inside what I assume was a library, there was a female patron standing at the printer trying to copy and print something, and so I walked over to help her so I assume that I was there working.
The woman was trying to copy and print some documents that were 2-sided but they were only printing as 1-sided documents, and some of them had the text/images zoomed in too much.
I saw that the 2-sided printing option was not enabled so I enabled it, and I showed her this and explained that needed to be enabled; and then I went over each setting that needed to be set with her to see what went wrong.
I explained how to use the ADF (automatic document feeder) and flatbed scanner when making copies, she also had staples on some of the documents, and so I told her that she had to remove them first before using them in the ADF.
Eventually we printed some copies successfully, but the zoomed in too much issue happened still on some documents so I ended up restarting the printer to see if that would help after several other things failed; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.
Dream 3
This dream was inspired by me watching episode 4 (If You Don’t Like My Story, Write Your Own) of the television show Watchmen (Season 1) before I went to sleep.
I remember that the dream took place outside during the day, and the Watchmen character Adrian Veidt (Ozymandias) was complaining to his clone(?) servants about something that they were working on.
I remember going over there to help and/or to see what was going on, and Mr. Veidt started to talk to me about various things including me.
There was something special/unique about me and it almost sounded like maybe he had created me and/or was my father, but I am not sure because even during the dream it was not clear yet as I listened and was about to ask some questions but I woke up before I could learn more.
The end,

Dream 1
This dream possibly took place during the night but I can not remember.
All that I can remember of this dream is that I was inside my parent’s house in the living room when I heard a noise outside, and so I looked out of the window and I saw that Jack (my brother TDC’s dog) with one of the black and white kittens or cats in his mouth and he was shaking it.
