June 25th, 2025: I was back in my dream version of NYC, walking around the streets. There was music constantly playing from an unseen speaker. I feel like I should note that my dream world version of NYC is not actually very similar to the real city. I looked up to the sky and noticed dark clouds were rolling in. Worried for the storm, I found my way to a large mansion where a few people lived. It started storming at that point, so they ushered me into the building and down into a storm shelter/basement type of room. The weather threatened the structure of the house and I was very concerned that I would not be able to go home. I attempted to call my mother but she would not answer or I would get disconnected immediately. The thunder was incredibly loud.
June 22nd, 2025: I was staying at a hotel in my dream world version of NYC. There was a couple there that I guess I knew. We were swimming in the hotel pool, which was MASSIVE. It filled most of a warehouse sized room. On the deeper end, you could swim through a tunnel to enter a different pool room, one with shallow water and purple toned low lighting. I was scared when I went through the tunnel, because the consistensy of the water changed to be thicker and harder to swim through. The lady from the couple ended up floating unconcious on her back in the purple pool room. For some reason the me and the man just left her there, apparently it was normal. We went out into the city, it was 2AM.
June 21st, 2025: It was nighttime and I was in the parking lot of a Walmart. I milled around in the parking lot for a while before I realized I didn't know where my car was. I decided to go inside and look around. The store was not what you would usually expect in a Walmart, seeming more like a mix between a JC Penny and a Joann craft store (rip). It was almost entirely devoid of people inside, the only one I remember seeing was a store employee sitting in front of a cash register when I first entered. I found myself in an aisle full of very inexpensive and very beautiful jewelry, so naturally a decided to buy a lot of it. I was kind of bummed when I woke up and realized I had not actually purchased opal encrusted earrings for $3.
June 19th, 2025: I was in a familiar mall. It seemed that all of the usual stores were being rapidly shut down to make way for new businesses. It looked like it was being converted into a sort of indoor theme park, with a giant carousel and an indoor go-kart track. It was very busy within the stores that were going out of business and off-puttingly quiet in the newer areas, the only sounds there being the quiet music of claw machines and the humming of flourescent lightbulbs. There was some sort of walk-through scare attraction, I opted not to go through it.
June 16th, 2025: I was on a road trip, in a very small car. I was not alone in the car and I was not the one driving. I think we were headed to a city. We stopped at a lone convenience store on a long stretch of empty road. It felt familiar, like I'd been there many times before. The snacks and drinks they carried were not made by brands that exist in the waking world. They also had a few gacha machines, which are always accompanied by faulty coin slots in my dreams. The jacket I was wearing was so heavy that I could barely lift my arms.
June 11th, 2025: I dreamt I was moving into a new apartment. I remember hastily packing up my things as my current apartment started falling into a state of disrepair. The new apartment felt almost like a surreal dorm, with small studio rooms, each having a loft for the bed up towards the dramatically tall ceilings. I often find myself in these strange, communal-living type of buildings. Be it a dorm, a hotel, an apartment complex, etc. I worried that my cat would be bored and not have enough space and he would hate moving. There was a large dark wooden staircase cutting through the different floors of the building, straight down the middle. The further you went up, the more surreal the building felt. The ground floor had a communal area consisting of a smoothie/coffee shop and a large seating area. The top floors communal area was almost incomprehensible and looked like outer space.
