Finding Out That Your Girlfriend / Fiancée Is Your Sister?

Dream 1

I had a variety of dreams that I did not record that probably mostly were inspired by things that I saw, did, heard, et cetera during the day.

So YouTube videos, television shows, news articles, video games, maybe books, my trip out-of-town to the dentist, et cetera were topics / things in some of these dreams; but that is all that I can remember of those dreams.

Dream 2

This dream started during the day and there was a fictional reality television show that explored a what if scenario where a girlfriend and boyfriend who were possibly engaged to be married found out that they were actually brother and sister to their surprise.

This possibly took place outside at a park / playground-like area, but I can not remember.

Somehow the dream jumped from this reality television show to fusing / combining with the rest of the dream, and now this what if scenario was happening to me but I did not realize it yet and I assumed that this was real life.

There were no cameras following me around or anything so I was not part of the reality television show, and it was now a what if scenario that the dream seemed to be playing out without me realizing it; and in the dream I had a girlfriend / fiancée or there is a small chance that she was my wife who I had just married (but I doubt that we were married yet).

I woke up in a bed inside what looked like The Military Surplus store in the city of D if it had been a clothing store that was converted into a house, it mostly looked like a clothing store / house, and most of the rest of my family were waking up in beds as well.

Apparently this was where we were living now (I guess we had recently bought it, and moved into the building), while we were sleep my mom completely organized the place, and so when we woke up we did not even recognize the place.

It was like waking up inside a clothing store, my mom had used the shelves and racks et cetera to neatly store our clothing and other things around the building, and so we woke up surprised and looking around and asking questions as my mom answered and explained some of the changes that she made.

It looked very nice and organize, it was like a business / home, and I partly joked that we could use part of it as a clothing store.

As I was looking around trying to get adjusted to the new setup up, my assumed girlfriend / fiancée showed up telling me that she had something very important to tell me, and she looked worried and she walked me over behind some shelves maybe near the entrance / exit to talk with me privately.

My assumed girlfriend / fiancée looked a bit like a more attractive Meghan Duchess Of Sussex (Meghan Markle) but with slightly lighter color skin, it was not her, but she somewhat looked like how she looked several years ago.

My girlfriend / fiancée told explained to me that she was pregnant, you could not tell because she was very early in the pregnancy, and that she had just found out that she is my sister.

I was probably shocked by both revelations, I hoped that she was joking, and so I told her that was not funny but she told me that she was serious; and so I asked her if she was sure, and she said yes.

She told me that she had just found out that my mom gave birth to her before I was born, she was probably only a couple of years older than me, but for some unclear reason(s) our mom had given her up for adoption pretty much immediately.

My assumed girlfriend / fiancée was never told the truth and had never known the truth until recently, and so all those years she did not realize that the people who raised her were not her actual biological parents.

My mom had never told me that she had any children before me or that I had a sister, and so I never knew the truth either.

We had no idea during our relationship that we were related, we had different last names and our families did not know each other, we did not look alike, and because our mom had mostly given her up for adoption as anonymously as she could back then (there were some minor records and / or a few people who knew, but they were supposed to stay sealed and private and that information was not to be told to even the child).

I was stunned, shocked, confused, and I did not want to believe it but it seemed to be true so I asked my assumed girlfriend / fiancée if I could talk to my mom about this; and she said yes, and so we walked over to talk to our mom.

Our mom was shocked as well, she confirmed that she did have a daughter before I was born who she gave up for adoption immediately because of some unclear reason(s) that I can not remember that possibly involved her not being ready at the time for a child or daughter and wanting her daughter to have a better life that she felt that she could not provide at that time so she gave her up for adoption with the condition that she was to not be told the truth so that she could live her life happily with a family who could support her et cetera and our mom did not want to know who the adoptive parents were et cetera to further help keep it a secret, and so our mom had no idea what her daughter looked like or what name was given to her et cetera so that is why she had no idea that assumed girlfriend / fiancée was her daughter during our relationship.

Our mom apologized and explained why she did what she did, it seemed that my assumed girlfriend / fiancée did get to live a better life so that was good, but we both did not think that it should have been a secret and I asked my mom why did she not tell me this years ago but I am not sure what her response was; but I do know that I told her that this entire situation could have been avoided if she had not kept it a secret.

I am not sure if we told our mom that my assumed girlfriend / fiancée was pregnant or not, I just know that after talking with our mom and my dad, that me and my assumed girlfriend / fiancée walked back behind some shelves to talk privately about what to do now.

This was a very awkward unusual situation now with many future mental / physical / social / legal / emotional / economical / moral / et cetera consequences depending on what we do next, we were engaged to be married and she was pregnant, and some of our family / friends / coworkers / et cetera knew about this (not that we were brother and sister) so how do we handle this.

My first thought was that we would have to immediately end our relationship (physical, romantic, et cetera) and call off the wedding and tell everyone that we were just friends now, we would have to try to remove any feelings of attraction et cetera between us even if we need to get counseling to help us do so, we would have to decide how to handle the pregnancy, and maybe we would have to keep the fact that we were brother and sister secret (except for maybe a few people we trust) to avoid the chaos for us and our possible child that would cause if the public knew about this.

As those thoughts were crossing my mind quickly my assumed girlfriend / fiancée told me her thoughts which were to: call off the wedding and to pretend to end our relationship and pretend to just be friends while secretly still continuing our relationship because we were in love at this point and trying to end that still did not seem right to her or just felt like it would be too hard to do, secretly have an abortion immediately, and never let the public know that we are brother and sister; and so her plan would involve living a lie basically and continuing a secret relationship disguised as a close friendship.

This was some serious stuff, abortion and continuing a relationship even after knowing the truth which would make this incest and living a lie, and so I did not like this plan on moral grounds et cetera and I said so; but I listened to her and I slowly gave my objections and why.

I started quickly thinking about our plans in my mind trying to create scenarios of what might happen with each part of each of our plans, but I woke up.

2. What is it about?

The Strange Thing About The Johnsons is one of those strange films that you have to see yourself because trying to describe what it is about will reveal too many spoilers, and it is a bit hard to describe and it is better seen than described.

But this is how it is described on the IMDB (The Internet Movie Database) page for The Strange Thing About The Johnsons:

A dark domestic melodrama / satire about the ties that bind and the ties that really bind.

A Theon Greyjoy-Like Man Being Sexually Abused By His Mother

I went to bed super late last night and I forgot all of my dreams except for barely part of my last dream, which possibly took place in the future on a different planet (a human colony), but I am not sure; and I possibly was not even in the dream, but I am not sure.

The main character of the dream was a woman who possibly was not human even though she looked human, she had special powers that she kept hidden around/from other people (humans), and one day a group of people entered her home claiming to be there on official business like maybe they were investigating her (one of them looked like Theon Greyjoy from the television series Game Of Thrones).

Somehow I remembered part of two or three dreams (I am not sure if two of them or one dream or two separate dreams and so I will separate them as three dreams) even though I slept pretty well/solidly except for having problems waking up a few times because of having gas from something I ate yesterday and feeling like I had to use the bathroom but I stayed in bed each time not really thinking about my dreams or recording them but somehow I still remembered part of some of them without really trying amazingly; and I woke up with a slight sore throat, but it will probably go away.

Dream 1

The dream took place on a gray and cloudy afternoon or evening on a slightly fictional version of Eastside near a field by the road not far from where my former uncle DW lives probably (this is probably not the beginning of the dream but this is where my memory starts), I was driving my automobile down the road when I saw a man with medium-dark brownish colored skin with short black colored hair in a wheelchair on the side of the road who I recognized as someone my dad knew, and so I stopped to see if he needed help; and he told me that he was trying to get to the house of one of his family members so that they could take him to his doctor’s appointment or something like that. *After reading Ingidisa’s newest dream I think that the man in the wheelchair might have been a fake/fictional version of the man who(m) my dad knew who died yesterday, the last time that I saw him was about two weeks ago as he was going down the road on Eastside in his electric wheelchair/scooter.*

I agreed to take him to the house of one of his family members and I helped him inside my automobile and I put his wheelchair in the back of my automobile probably, and we talked as we drove to the house; and he told me about how he had a lot of health problems, especially problems with his legs/knees/et cetera, and we talked about my dad and how he knew my dad and about some of his memories from the past.

We got to the house quickly because it was not far away and it was still on Eastside, I helped him back into his wheelchair probably and we went to the door, and an attractive female family member of his with light-brownish colored skin with long straight somewhat shiny brownish and/or blackish colored hair answered the door and greeted us and let us in; and they were going to wait around a bit until it was time to leave for the doctor’s appointment, and so I stayed to visit with them until then.

Slowly some more of his family members arrived at the house to hang out, usually younger family members, and one or more of them possibly seemed to be younger versions of some of my cousins from my dad’s side of the family like my cousin CH and so I wondered if I was somewhat related to the man and/or just part of his family; and at some point the husband of the woman who had answered the door earlier came out of their bedroom and he looked almost exactly like my former uncle DW, he somewhat greeted us with a slight nod of his head like he did not want visitors and he walked off, and so I was not sure if he was my former uncle DW or one of his brothers who looked like him.

The younger family members talked with us, watched TV, played games, et cetera and at some point I helped the man in the wheelchair get up the stairs to the second floor; and at some point it was time to leave for his doctor’s appointment and so I tried to help the man in the wheelchair downstairs but I tripped on some objects that the young family members left on the stairs that caused me to stumble but not fall (I have good balance and/or good fall resistance skills) causing the wheelchair to go down the stairs too fast and the man hit is feet/legs against the stairs and there was a hard crash once we hit the bottom but I did not allow the wheelchair to fall over or the man.

The man said that he hurt his legs/feet/knees and he was in a lot of pain (moaning a bit) and a bit angry, he said that he could not go to his doctor’s appointment now, and so I felt bad and I apologized to him; and the woman who had opened the door for us earlier came to help him, and I walked back to the living room feeling bad as the kids were still having fun and either the next part of the dream started or I had another dream after waking up but I am not sure.

Dream 2

This might have been part of the first dream but I am not sure, I think that the dream took place outside behind the house from the first dream and the kids from the first dream were probably there and the woman from the first dream and some other adults from their family who were not in the first dream and I was there, and it was not as gray or cloudy outside now.

Kids from different countries and the adults with each group from each country slowly arrived outside behind the house, there was an obstacle course-like area outside with a pond near it and this obstacle course-like area had wooden structures and buildings/ropes/chains/zip-lines/and various other challenges, and the group of kids from each country were going to compete against each other in a competition of some kind that seemed a bit military-like.

There were groups of kids from around the world wearing different uniforms/clothing and speaking different languages, and at some point the competition began; and we watched as each team competed one-at-a-time, and each team had a kid who was the leader of the team who gave orders as the other kids in their group went through obstacle course and showed off their discipline/style/teamwork/strategies/leadership/et cetera.

I remember one team who probably was from France and who probably spoke French in the dream were wearing light blueish colored military-like dress uniforms with berets, they were very disciplined, and they had a very good/serious/strict boy leading them; and so they were one of the teams expected to possibly win the competition.

I got to see one or more teams from Europe compete and a few teams from other continents compete, and I got to hear the different languages that each team spoke depending on which country they were from.

I can not remember how many rounds/parts of the competition there would be or how many countries were part of it, I just know that the kids from the first dream were in the competition as well, but that is all that I can remember.

Dream 3

This dream might have been two connected but separate dreams but I can not remember, the first part is unclear but it involved Dashie from YouTube doing a video skit with a woman, and something in the video skit left a lot of the audience thinking that the woman (who might have been his sister) and/or his sister were in an incestuous relationship; and so a lot of people were commenting on his video about that, and so he had to keep explaining to the people that they were incorrect/wrong and explain that they misunderstood the video skit.

Dashie and the woman and/or his sister were surprised by the reaction(s) of a lot of their audience to the video, they were confused how could so many people misunderstand their video, and I was there because we were on the set for their next video that was going to be a short film that was a parody of the film Escape Plan (2013) but a bit comedic and scary for Halloween.

I talked with them about why I felt so many people misunderstood the video, and I tried to explain it to them based on the overview of some of the comments that I read about the video and from my opinions on the video; and at some point it was time to start filming the short film, and so I helped but I can not remember how I helped.

I just remember various scenes for the short film being filmed/acted/et cetera, but that is all that I can remember of the dream.

Dating My Own Cousin (Scarlett Johansson)?

I somewhat remember part of one dream, I had another dream before it but the second dream was longer and more detailed than the first dream and I woke up trying to remember the second dream first because it stood out more to me than the first dream, and so I forgot my first dream unfortunately; and I think that the first dream would have helped my second dream to make more sense because my second dream is unclear/confusing, and I was even confused in the dream on a major important detail/part of the dream.

The second dream/the only dream that I can remember took place at a slightly fictional version of my grandfather’s house that was slightly larger than in real life, and a small family reunion/family gathering (my mom’s side of the family) was taking place there (like in real life at this time but I have not attended it so far); and unlike in real life I went to this small family reunion/family gathering, and some of my indirect family members were there like my aunt ME/aunt DE/aunt VE/aunt RE/aunt SE/uncle CE/uncle JE/some of my cousins/et cetera were there.

I remember things going pretty well surprisingly, some fictional younger indirect family members of mine were probably there as well, and I was having a good time surprisingly; and at some point I remember meeting a woman (I am not sure who she was or why she was there, maybe she was introduced to me, but I was not even sure later in the dream or even now that I am awake) who had whitish-to-light brownish colored skin with maybe somewhat long brownish colored hair who might have somewhat looked like and acted like the actress Scarlett Johansson (I am not sure though and I have only seen two films with Scarlett Johansson in them, and so I am not exactly sure how she acts exactly and I could be wrong about how the unknown woman looked exactly because my memory is too unclear but I think that she slightly had a face similar to Scarlett Johansson), and we started talking.

We both started to have a great time together and maybe some of my fictional family members were with us as well, we got along so well that it seemed like we were dating and/or maybe we did start dating and/or maybe we were dating (I am not sure which if any of those is correct but we did seem to have a possible romantic connection), and I remember us mostly hanging out in a fictional RV (recreational vehicle)-like room that was in the family room; and we had a very good time late into the night.

I just remembered something that was either from the first dream or the beginning of the second dream that seemed so real that I did not know that it was part of a dream, it involved me being either in my parent’s kitchen or my grandfather’s kitchen looking at desserts from the family reunion (in real life my family brought back no desserts and they did not mention any desserts being at the reunion) and my parent’s were in the kitchen as well, and I remember thinking and/or saying: “So there are some desserts!” but that is all that I can remember of this dream fragment

We probably talked, ate, drank, held hands, she probably laid her head in my lap and sat across my lap a few times, we probably were physically close or touching/hugging/et cetera often, and at some point we probably went to sleep together (no sex, just sleeping); and we woke up the next morning, we probably had breakfast, and we left with my family on a small trip to a fictional abandoned house that was familiar to me like I have dreamed of it before in the past.

The abandoned house was a large one-story house I think that still had lots of stuff inside of the house, especially toys, and this house reminded me of areas that are sometimes in dreams that sometimes contain memories/objects from my past; and so this house might have seemed familiar to me because many old objects/toys/et cetera from my past might have been among the many old/dusty items in the house, but I am not sure because I do not remember directly recognizing any objects as being from my past (but I was too busy spending time with the unknown woman).

My family and I had clearly been to this abandoned house before because we were familiar with it and I remember showing the unknown woman around the house as we probably held hands/held each other while walking and talking, and the house actually was a bit scary but I was not scared really because I was familiar with the house and because I was having a good time with the unknown woman so I was too distracted to be afraid but I was a bit cautious sometimes because anyone/anything could be hiding in the house.

At some point we reached the middle of the house near the main entrance and there was a desk with a man behind it who had whitish colored skin with medium length brownish colored hair, and tourists were coming inside of the house to tour it but you had to pay to tour the house; and so the man told us that we had to pay to my surprise, and so I paid for the unknown woman and I while talking to the man about how we never had to pay before.

It seemed that whoever owned the abandoned house was trying to make money from it now, and so they were charging $4-to-$8 a person for tours of the house; and so I asked the man for a discount since I have been to the house several times before in the past it seemed, and so he gave me a discount for the unknown woman.

Some local college students were coming into the abandoned house to donate/leave Christmas gifts on the floor(s) around the house as part of some Christmas gift donation program/tradition or something like that maybe, a male tourist with whitish colored skin with short hair and I thought that this was strange because there were already too many toys/items on the floor around the house, and we felt that those items could be donated instead; and so the male tourist said this out-loud, and a thin female college student with whitish colored skin with long blondish colored hair got angry after hearing his comment and they started arguing about it in front of the desk where the male worker was.

Their argument got so serious that the male worker and I had to calm them down, this helped to avoid a fight, and eventually they stopped arguing and went their separate ways; and I briefly talked with the male worker about the situation after the male tourist and the female college student walked away, and I forgot to mention that the unknown woman with me had left to explore the building some more with my family while I was paying for us earlier and so she was not with me at this time.

I took a moment to think about my relationship with the woman and how well things were going between us, but then I started to wonder if we were really cousins because there was a chance that when she was first introduced to me that she was introduced to me as being my cousin (a first cousin) but I could not remember if this was true or not; and so this started to bother/worry me but I could not remember, but I know that she did not look or act like any of my other cousins that I know.

I did not want to believe that it could be true that we were cousins and so I was afraid to ask, I felt that it could not be true because dating my own cousin goes against my beliefs and is probably illegal and is something that I would probably never do, and so it did not make sense to me; but there was a chance that we both forgot that we were cousins and/or that we did not know that we were cousins, but I would have to ask my family and the unknown woman to be sure.

Things were going so well between us that I hoped that it was not true, so I stood there trying to decide if and/or how should I handle the situation and how should I ask the question of if we are cousins or not, and when should I ask the question; but this situation bothered/worried me so much that I decided to not think about it for now, and I walked off to find the unknown woman and my family so that we could finish touring the house together, but I woke up.
