TORTURED BY RAINBOWS

My dream.

So, last night I had a dream that may or may not have been a continuation of another dream. IDK, halfway through it apparently I was thinking to myself 'this is what happens to my original fic, I half finish it and then it comes back in dreams' but I swear to you I don't recognize the plot of the dream at ALL.

There were two girls, girl A and girl B. We'll call Girl A Anna and girl B Bea.

Bea was younger than Anna and as far as I could tell she was some kind of noble. She had been travelling and adventuring with Anna and the group Anna travelled with but in the dream Anna had returned Bea to her family. Bea's parents were pretty nice, talking with Anna about her adventuring and chatting about how Bea couldn't seem to sleep on her comfy bed anymore but slept on 'two bolts of cloth on the floor'.

And IDK how it came up but Bea was talking about how some courting rituals in the lands they had travelled through were 'stranger and more time consuming than engaging two nobles'. And she was thinking of this bizarre land where like… there weren't enough men? Or not enough women? And like, in order for a couple to get together it had to be approved by the village council or something like that. It was weird.

And then Bea was like 'and Anna would know, because she used to be a noble'.

And I don't even KNOW. There was more to the dream, but it's been HOURS since I officially rolled out of bed and even longer since I actually had the dream.

So, had a dream...

Well, duh, of course. Still, weird dream.

It starts off with this lake. There's a lake (more like a big pond) with a forest behind and a dirt path. Person 1 is standing where the path meats the lake and she's a big girl, tall and really muscled. She's holding a bread roll and a package of salmon. She starts... it's not really wailing, it's more like singing but it's CLOSE to wailing? It's some form of chant. She starts plucking at the plastic covering of the fish and eventually she opens up a whole and pinches some of the salmon, she tosses it into the water and then she crumbles some of the bread.

There was a dead guy in the lake? And like, once she finishes the ceremony his ghost appears. He said he was really thankful for her doing the ceremony and I'm pretty sure it means he can pass on to the other side now. And then he mentioned being able to see her sins and he forgives her.

And then he warns her that the woman who murdered him is approaching and she's going to kill Person 1 the same way he was killed. Then he disappears and I see the murderer just coming around the bend where the dirt path meets the forest. So person 1 jumps into the water.

Now the section of the water where it meats the path is pretty deep but other parts are pretty shallow. She swims around in it trying to escape the murderer who is swimming after her (apparently with a knife, this makes sense?). One of person 1's friends shows up and attempts to grab the murderer. Person 1 gets out of the water and is screaaaaaaaaaaming at her friend to get away because the murderer is dangerous.

And then her friend is all 'is she a special?' which I... yeah, I have no idea. The murderer starts laughing and smiling at that question and then Person 1 comes over and slashes at the murderers back (where did SHE get a knife?) and then slits the murderer's throat. Of course, that doesn't kill the murderer and Person 1 freaks out and tries to run away.

And I wake up. :D

This morning, I had a dream that there were bugs under my skin.

No, no, seriously.( may be triggering? )

...yeah. So. Weird gross dream.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Made myself pancakes and ate them. Will now do nothing all day.

Except maybe nap, and I've only been up 2 hours.
