So I recently remembered some nightmares and I had a dream last night that I want to share here:
So last nightās dream:
I heard a tapping on my window, and I got up and looked outside and the baby moose from April was at my window again. It was summer but there was thigh deep snow on the ground like the winter from last year. He was staring at me through the window, begging for food. So, I grabbed a bean bag chair, and some apple zingers (the crappy off brand of that one apple cinnamon fruit loops looking cereal) and I just gave it apple zingers while Rico and cricket stared at me, betrayed I didnāt give them the apple zingers. The mooseās eyes turned white and began glowing. It trotted off, the snow retreating as he left, almost as if he brought the snow. It was absolutely bizarre.
The random dream from 2021
So I had just rediscovered L4D2 after like 6 years right? So, my best friend and I had played it until 2 AM, and we went to sleep and the dream began.
I woke up in the Dead Center Atrium, the Jimmy Gibbs stock car was just chilling on its display, there were no infected I could see, and it was just quiet. Until I heard the one growl you NEVER want to hear in Left 4 Dead. I turned around and the hunter leapt off the elevator shaft, screaming itās iconic scream, and began running around on all fours (if youāve never played L4D2, think quadrobics) and I jumped on its back and I was now riding the hunterās back like a horse. The hunter was just jumping around and freaking out since it was literally a zombie who does and did parkour. It jumped onto the stock car and it died, falling over and making its classic āyipeā death sound. I was sad and then I woke up. Never felt so sad and confused over a dream.
The nightmares.
So, I recently remembered the horrible nightmares about my birds and good god are they terrible.
So, the oldest one I can remember was about a week after Iceās passing. The whole day I was crying, wishing I could change everything, wishing for Ice and Tea to come back, and having really bad thoughts. I fell asleep and I had a nightmare that rattled me to my core.
I went into my room and I saw Ice and Teaās cage where it first was when they came home. The water was dirty and they had no food. Their cage was fairly barren, having only a few dowels and their food and water, and they were their reanimated corpses. Their eyes had sunken in, you could see their bones under their skin, they had skin that had rotted off in some places, and they looked like theyād been dead a while. āWhy wonāt you play with us?ā āWhy donāt you love us?ā āAre we wrong?ā āPlay with me.ā Is all what they said as their stared at me through the bars. I began crying and covering my ears. I left the room but I could still hear them in my head. I woke up sobbing and I never wished to bring them back. Honestly, it made my depression far worse and I didnāt really want to live anymore. Then I got Rico and I have been happier since.
Escaping the car?
So, I donāt fully remember this dream but Iāll do my best to retell what I can remember:
We had to flee the house to go to a hotel that looked like the Chuck E. Cheese in anchorage (I went there sometimes when I was little) and I also had a Quaker parrot for some reason and Rico escaped through the car sunroof after the Quaker opened it while I was trying to put Rico in his carrier. Rico flew onto a window ledge and didnāt come back. Until he saw his favorite snackā¦ salt and vinegar pringles. He came down and I brought him back into the car. I put him in his carrier but he turned into a phoenix and burned the cage. I donāt remember the rest though.
Escaping into the winter darkness
Rico was flying around and then he got out of the back door and he flew onto the snowy roof. He was up there while I freaked out and tried luring him down. He told me to āf**k offā and he promptly pooped. I said āokayā and pretended to ignore him. He got mad and flew down to my head to rip up my scalp. I took him inside and then I woke up.
