what even is this

 

Woke up to pink light streaming through my window and this view. Stunning.

Very very weird dream. Ran into President Nelson at the grocery store. He gave me encouragement, don’t remember what just that he was very encouraging. Then Brother Holland from my old ward showed up and we were like, whoa small world! and Bro. Holland seems to know Pres. Nelson, they talked like they were friends. 

Bro. Holland suggested smth that Pres. Nelson needed to work on, and he seemed pleased by the advice. Then i looked outside and it was raining fish. This seemed odd, but neither of them seemed concerned, even when I also saw a bunch of whales migrating across the the sky. They were HUGE.

Weird dream part doux: Daniel and I trying to catch someone. A woman? A bratty kid? Not sure it kept changing. We cornered it in an abandoned house, it made a break for it. We ran but couldnt catch it, it ran across a field.  My mom pulled up in a car to corner it but it turned and ran down a dirt road towards a stream? Forest? Bog?

It didn’t know I was following and so it slowed down. I jumped from above and caught it after a bit of wrestling. Decided to keep it from escaping by forcing it to stand in the stream but the stream was much deeper than expected… and then I couldn’t pull it out so it started to drown.

Mom and Daniel pulled up and helped me drag it out of the water. Somehow the part of it we cared about separated from the body in the form of a highly visible rainbow fish (like in the picture book)

Of course we went after it. Followed it through a water-based parkour game in a sewer system. According to my dream, our quarry was following the plot of Finding Nemo somehow and we were just tracing its steps.

Got to the end, dumped out in the end goal. Look around and nearly everyone is human again and we’re in a shallow pool next to a beach. Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, but 3D, is watching TV inside a little coconut hut. Our quarry is nowhere to be seen. 

Then I woke up.

  1. I'm flattered that you could even imagine me parkouring.

    I bet Pres Nelson and Bro Holland would get along great. They've probably met, come to think of it.

    1. right?? so it made total sense. wasn't suspicious at all that they would definitely know each other. was watching their exchange and taking mental notes for myself, totally unaware it was a dream.

      and it was underwater, we were fish. so it was more like dexterous swimming mixed with problem-solving, pulling levers? like Where's my Water

  2. Also why am I never in any of your dreams :<
    It seems like its always Daniel having all the fun
    Maybe it's because Daniel's more interesting than I am, I'm kind of boringly normal compared to him

    1. > ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
      > I dream about pretend stuff, video games, and weird stuff. You're pretty solidly associated with real life for me, while daniel is kooky enough that he could show up pretty much anywhere and I would not blink an eye.

      So yeah, basically what you said. But it's not that I like you better, just that you and him occupy different sections of my brain.

    2. "You and him occupy different sections of my brain."

      I never thought about it that way, and I don't know if it's neurologically accurate, but it kinda makes sense. I like my family, and I think about them all the time when I'm awake, but I rarely dream about them. I dream about Star Wars all the time though. It would be interesting to know the scientific reason why we tend to dream about certain people/topics but not others.
