Dream journal.
I went to physics class—a university class in a big lecture hall—and discovered it was exam day. Uh-oh. I had not studied at all. The girl on my left was doing some last-minute review. “Remember-“ she told me, and recited the orientation of two half-circles in a formula. I forgot the orientation ins...
It was Wednesday of the first week of college classes. I was in the basement of the campus honors house, chilling until it was time to go to class. I knew what class I was going to because Past Me had set up a three-ring binder with tabbed dividers for each class. Third tab = Wednesday class. Howeve...
I was at a hotel where I was staying with my parents, having a fancy hotel breakfast. Then it was time to get ready for work so I could be there for the 9 am meeting. Walking down the hotel hallway, I detoured into a conference room where two evil wizards were playing a music box with a song that co...
I was on vacation, behind on my hunts because we’d been traveling all day. In the car, heading to the hotel where we were spending the night, I pulled out my phone and discovered to my frustration that I couldn’t send out hunts—the interface was strange, everything was in the wrong place. At the hot...
I was on campus, pulling an all-nighter working on some project. I wasn’t as productive as I hoped, but I made some progress. In the morning, it was time to go home. My parents directed me to drive a city bus so I could bring my brother back home too. I knew this was a bad idea, but I didn’t realize...
An awards ceremony was held in my house at night. I was in my bedroom with the lights off because I was not involved in the ceremony, and also I was sleeping. I saw my brother leave the guest bedroom, where he had been staying, and head to the living room to receive his award. I had received a gift ...
I was browsing Wolvden and coming up with ideas for book crossover events. I thought it would be neat to have a Cruel Prince collab where your lead wolf goes to Faerie, and everyone there has been turned by a curse into a wolf, mostly as a plot device because your wolf is ofc only going to interact ...
I walked down the hall of my parents' house, looked in the guest bedroom, and found the floor was thick with fallen leaves. The bedside window was open, and there was an enormous pile of dust next to the bed (presumably, it blew in through the window, just like the leaves). I shoved the pile of dust...
I had to go to campus to print out some documents for work. I decided to take a different bus than usual because, according to the bus schedule, it would get me there faster. That was a mistake. The first red flag was that all the announcements for stops and such were in Spanish, so I couldn't under...
It was late and I was hungry and I hadn't made dinner yet because lazy. I went to the kitchen and discovered the fridge was gone. I recalled that apartment management had said they'd be replacing the fridges in all the units, but geez, give us some notice? And also, what happened to all the food tha...
I got a notification on my den page that the father of one of my pups had passed away. (Maybe he died of old age, maybe he was chased from his den. It didn't say.) I had to plant a tree stump in my pup's den so that the father's ghost could inhabit the stump, enabling the pup to keep his stat gains ...
It was the first day of the semester, and I was on campus, getting lunch at the local convenience stand. They didn't have an actual kitchen, but you could pick out your cup ramen and they'd heat it up for you. Very convenient. Except I took too long deciding what to get, and they closed for the day....
I was petting a dog. The dog was very friendly. (medium-sized dog, black with some white. possibly a border collie)
Two girls (let's call them Girl A and Girl B) were on sleds, fleeing a mysterious evil man. Girl A was far in the lead. This pleased Girl A's mother, the evil Ice Queen; it looked like the mysterious man would catch and take Girl B, and then her daughter would be safe. But Girl A had other plans. S...
I was downtown! Not as a long-term arrangement, obviously, just a few days where I had to personally go into the office. But I was determined to make the most of my time. It was before work, and, as usual, I had allowed myself time to take a long walk. It was snowing and everything was softly gray a...
Nebben and I were trying to infiltrate an enemy manufacturing plant. It was an imposing structure high on a hilltop, with security checkpoints on the incoming roads. I was trying to case the joint, looking for possible points of entry, but Nebben hauled me off to the cargo yard. His plan was to pre...
We were traveling through space on our spaceship. There was someone overboard. One of the crew sent out a line and reeled him in. It was Kirby in a little spacesuit. He was unconscious when first brought aboard, but then slowly opened his eyes. I realized we had a problem: when Kirby wakes up, he's...
While I was taking a nap, Dante visited my apartment. I woke up to discover Dante had decked out the whole place in Christmas decorations. I debated whether to take them down, but if I did, I'd just have to put them back up in December anyway. Instead I helped him finish putting up the Christmas tre...
The entrance to the school was down a long, dark tunnel hewn into the rock of the snowy mountain. In a small alcove, there was a wooden box filled with pamphlets; you'd take one. (The pamphlets were covered in creepy, incomprehensible text.) Farther down the tunnel, there was another alcove with ano...
I was at work, working on a new project. It was originally Sam's project, but he left for a different job, so he passed the project on to me. He said he'd send me his file in progress. We all had new work laptops. Midway through the day, I realized that I hadn't been keeping my log all day, so I wen...
I was playing an online card game against Leon, kind of a mix between poker and BS. We were in voice chat, but my mic is broken, so I was typing all my responses to him. I had two pairs, and then I drew more cards to also get a full house, which was a pretty good hand; but would it be good enough?
[[ Note to self: Shiny pokemon do not show up as shiny on the world map. If you see a shiny pokemon on the world map, it's a dream-tell. ]]
I woke up. I was behind the wheel of my car, stopped on the shoulder of the highway. I had been driving to visit my parents, and apparently I got too sleepy to drive safely and pulled over to take a nap. Though why didn't I remember pulling over? Had I really been that sleepy?
We were having dinner at a nature lodge. Before dinner started, I went exploring, past the private room that my extended family was renting, through the main dining hall where the lodge regulars were hanging out, and then out the back door. It was past sundown. When I stepped outside, whoosh—a sudd...
I was a returning student taking a full load of high school classes, and failing most (all?) of them due to neglecting my homework. Now we were in P.E. doing individual exercises. I was first up; I got on the table and did a bunch of push-ups. But wait, why were we in class, weren't we supposed to ...
