Star Wars: Visions (Season 1)

What Is It?

The 2021 anime anthology show Star Wars: Visions (Season 1).

Star Wars: Visions | English Dub Trailer | Disney+

This is how Disney+ describes this anime show:

Seven Japanese anime studios bring their unique talent and perspective to “Star Wars: Visions”—a collection of animated short films that will stream exclusively on Disney+. The anime studios are Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio (Twin Engine), Studio Colorido (Twin Engine), TRIGGER, Kinema Citrus, Science Saru, and Production I.G. Each studio will use their signature animation and storytelling styles to realize their own visions of the galaxy far, far away. As a first formal venture into anime, each “Star Wars: Visions” short bears a unique Japanese sensibility, which in many ways aligns with the tone and spirit of Star Wars storytelling. From the beginning, stories told in the Star Wars galaxy have counted Japanese mythology and the films of Akira Kurosawa among their many influences, and these new visions will further explore that cultural heritage through the unique animation style and perspective of each anime studio.

An Indoor Amusement Park In Japan?

All that I can remember of this dream is that it seemed to have taken place in Japan, and I seemed to be inside an indoor amusement park and/or something like that.

There were people from various countries there on tours, vacationing, et cetera; but most of the workers and people that I saw were from Japan (Japanese), but there were a few from maybe The United States and several other countries.

It felt somewhat like a mall in its design, at some point I passed a dimly lit area that looked like a cinema/arcade, and they had Star Wars themed laser tag so I joined a laser tag game.

They had a scoreboard that followed the rankings, there was a man who was overseeing our laser tag match, and I was easily winning the match even though I do not know much about Star Wars and I have never played laser tag before.

During the match I went through a door that led me back to the main areas, I tried to find the entrance, but I got lost because that door led to another part of the building and it had no door handle or anything.

*Sexual Content Warning*

I walked around and at some point I joined a tour group that that was being led by an attractive Japanese women with short brown hair, she could speak Japanese and English, during our tour of a few areas she would sometimes very briefly get naked and have sex with a Japanese man with short black hair until he would orgasm.

Oddly no one seemed to think that this was strange, and the woman would get dressed and continue the tour like nothing had happened; and this happened two or three times.

At some point I found the entrance to the Star Wars themed laser tag place, I went inside where I found the man over the match, and he told me that it was over and that I had gotten second place and the person who won had barely won even though I had accidentally left the match.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners got prizes so he took me to get my prize.

While I was getting my prize I met the 1st place winner, he was a man with light-color skin with short yellow hair, and I congratulated him and he gloated about his victory a bit.

I then left to continue exploring the assumed indoor amusement park and during this time I met some of my former classmates like my former male classmate BH and JS, and I met someone named Natalie and/or someone talked about her.

At some point I found a grocery store-like area that I started to explore, near the produce section I noticed the letters HBC and I saw a group of people with dark-color skin walking in the distance, and I wondered if HBC stood for Historically Black College; and I wondered if the group of people I saw were part of a college tour group from a HBC.

I then found some small free samples of various flavors of ice cream that I have never tried before, the containers were open and in mostly melted ice, and so some of the containers were completely melted.

I tasted two or three of the ice cream samples, I could taste them somewhat, but I can not remember the flavors though other than one maybe having caramel and/or butterscotch.

I then saw some tables with glazed cinnamon bun-like pastries, and two Japanese women with long medium-to-dark color hair were sitting near.

I assumed that they were offering some free samples because some were just pieces while others were complete, and so I asked them but they only spoke and understood Japanese.

We struggled to try to understand each other with hand signs, the spoke Japanese, and I tried speaking English and some French and some Spanish; but this was not working.

I did taste a sample and I thanked them, and then I left because we all were confused and could not understand each other mostly; they were making facial expressions of confusion.

But I woke up as I walked away.

The end,

November 25, 2013 | Dream Fragments | Talking With Kanye West | Fighting A Strange Threat | Avoiding Family Members

I slept pretty well last night except for waking up feeling hot once, waking up to use the bathroom several times, and waking up feeling cold once; and I had several dreams but my I kept forgetting them mostly but not as bad as the night before last, and so I only barely remember part of one or more dreams but I do not remember what order they go in.

Dream 1

The first dream that I can remember took place inside an unknown location/room/apartment/hotel/house/wherever that I think had whitish/grayish colored carpet(s)/walls/ceiling(s) but I am not sure where it was, how I got there, why I was there, or what even happened for most of the dream.

All that I can remember is that the music artist Kanye West was also there at some point but I can not remember if anyone else was there or not with us, and I remember talking with Mr. West about various topics; and his personality/intellect and the topics that he liked to talk about surprised me, but that is all that I can remember of/about this dream.

Dream 2

I can not remember most of the second dream that I can remember part of and so it does not make much sense at all and I am not even sure if I was outside and/or inside, I just remember being with two men who had whitish colored skin with short brownish/dark-colored hair, and we got attacked by something strange that I can not remember; and at some point there was a tall (over seven feet tall) defeated robot or being in whitish colored armor that was like Stormtrooper armor from the film Star Wars but more practical/better-looking like RoboCop‘s armor or something like that laying down on the ground or a table, and we took off its armor so that one of the men could wear it to use it to try to defeat the strange threat that was attacking us.

The threat that was attacking us was something strange enough to where we did not think that trying to fight it directly would work and/or he had not worked so far (I can not remember what the threat was, but my wild guess was that it was like something/an entity that you might see on the film Ghostbusters and maybe the two men were members of the Ghostbusters Team), and so we hoped that the armor would help us to defeat the strange threat; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 3

The third dream is probably really part of two dreams but I will combine them into one dream or assume that they were one dream, I think that the dream started at my grandfather CE‘s house and some of my family members (aunts, uncles, cousins) from my mom side of the family were there visiting my grandfather and/or having a family gathering, and but I only clearly remember seeing and briefly talking with my cousin ME but I can not remember what I talked with her about; and I spent most of my time away from/avoiding my family members except for one or more of my brothers and/or whoever was with me but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream or of this dream.

The next part of the dream or the next dream took place inside my parent’s house, I remember being in my brothers KD’s and TD‘s room with the door closed with one or more people (one or more of my brothers and/or one or more other people) still avoiding or staying away from some of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins) who were now visiting my parent’s house, and at some point a little boy with medium-to-dark brownish colored skin with short blackish colored hair knocked on our door with a message from my cousin ME or another family member.

I did not recognize the boy and I was not sure if he was one of my unknown cousins or not or if he was the kid of one of my cousin ME’s friends or not, I probably followed the boy to the living room where almost everyone was to talk with whoever sent him to give me the message, but I woke up.
