Nearly all of these were recorded over the span of one year (about September 2024 to November 2025) during which I got really into remembering and analyzing my dreams.

This also happened to be my last two semesters of college where I had so much free time due to being limited to taking 3-4 classes a semester. Surely it is just a coincidence, right?

Wishful thinking on my part, there's no way it is >_<

What's here is not everything, and it's not the end. I'll add more as I peruse my collection over the next few months (some stuff I can't share, obviously).

Not gonna lie, this one was pretty fire!!!

For the first 20 minutes I am with a group of people around my age +/- 6 years, trespassing and climbing/parkouring around a city at night.

initially split up, we sound a loud horn or something when we reach our destination and then escape in any direction to avoid police.

It is all a big game that gets the adrenaline going basically

so the alarm sounds again and I fail to take a good path, forced to keep going up with only one path forward that isn't turning back

The buildings gradually get bigger until I am facing down a skyscraper that seems impossibly wide (for a legitimate building in a city)

All the windows are completely black, but a single door is ever so slightly ajar. Not wanting to be caught, I break the implicit rule of not going into buildings and enter the door quietly.

Inside is a large room that i quickly scope out for people and hide in a large closet to hear things around me safely.

i move out after half a minute and am creeping by a desk when i hear people walking towards me, so i hide under the long portion of the desk.

as long as nobody looks behind them after traveling past me; they shouldn't see me

everyone but one girl fails to notice me, she panics and I immediately rush the adult and topple them to the ground.

They hit their head on the floor but I have no time to worry about what I am doing

I run away but see that the door i entered from had been locked since, probably my entry was someone's mistake

I continue to search for windows on that wall but they must have been completely cosmetic, just for appearances, and no help to me.

As I make my way through the interior of the building I come out of a varying selection of room types, each with their own use, into a light that fills the area around me and heats up my skin, a very strange feeling.

Back in the city, my days felt sterile and lifeless by comparison, so why was this building interior so different?

Was I even in the interior anymore?

making it outside, I begin to feel eyes on me, so long as they aren't focused on another person.

for some reason everybody started fighting each other over small problems, or even no problem at all.

Someone runs up to me and tries to tackle me, but i dodge and ask them what is going on

turns out that this outdoor area has a purge day today and any law can be broken so long as it does not disrupt the social order.

despite his assistance in explaining things through short phrases, the man is still trying to kill me with a knife

He is able to get close and takes a swing but I use it to grab is arm and hand and twist my hand to remove the knife from his.

he still sliced one of my arms a bit but i force him to the ground and steal his knife

having taken damage in the dream, I wake up, but remember I was basically resolved to just survive

I dreamed I had a cigarette in my hand and it spontaneously lit itself.

I remember panicking, thinking "not yet!"

That's literally all there is to it though because I woke up from the panic

4/29/2025

I had a dream of human sized badgers being all around the world for some reason.

It was almost like a school trip? I was walking around with lots of people my age. They weren't particularly aggressive or hostile as long as you didn't walk into their space and stay there.

at the end i asked why this random homeless guy knew so much about how to greet them and their mannerisms and he said because he has sex with them 🥲

honestly a pretty peak dream, even though I haven't even thought about a badger while conscious in at least a few months
