Part one was about my car and college. I had driven partway and had to stop to eat, so I parked my car and went into a restaurant. That bit is hazy, but I remember having to move my car to a nearby trailer park as it was getting dark. Somehow I was flashing back and forth between college and car, and I said one of the families in the trailer park could use a cool futuristic AI fridge I had with me. When I arrived next morning to pick up my car, it had changed to a different kind of car. So far everything is triggered by real life memories, even though they don't match anything in real life. For some reason, that city street layout isn't part of my real life now, but has shown up in several dreams.
Part two was about running into a guy in college that I'd seen on TV in a show here or there, no one big time. I was surprised about the college part, but he seemed thrilled to be back in school and wanted me to hang out. He had an RV and said he'd drive me to my car but drove me to a hospital instead, where he flirted with someone while I watched stray kids running around. Again, all from memory triggers, I've done nursing clinicals and kids are somewhat in my life again. No idea why that guy, but I did say to someone in the dream that he reminded me of my husband because something he was doing. The RV apparently came from new neighbors we met over the weekend.
Part three was awful. I was back at the trailer park and my brother was talking to me when he seized up and whispered "Help me". Then he turned into my niece and appeared to be going unconscious unable to breathe. As I started Heimlich, she wretched up handfuls of metal objects, including jewelry, padlocks, and more. Near the end, still not quite breathing, she whispered her sister's name, who had died years ago. And I woke up.
Everything was connected very differently than it is now, and no one looked like they do now. My life in the dream was very different than my life now. Even the food I ate in the restaurant was very different.
I had missed a pill and got up to take it in the middle of the night. That med can cause odd dreams, it's part of the side effects. I honestly think it just makes them more memorable because I've never slept through a night properly if I take it after supper. I've had very detailed dreams all my life and remember a lot of them anyway, but this med enhances remembering them even more.
My takeaway thoughts are I want a fridge like that, did I really kiss that guy because that was weird, and the symbology of things my niece puked up seems like things she was trying to hold back from saying, padlocks being a broad hint, but felt like that was more fitting of my dad not sharing certain memories, plus I'd been on the phone with him the day before and both nieces came up.
Funny how much stuff our brains constantly work through behind our backs. I'll probably get oh yeah moments through the day today as parts of the dream pop in and out of my mind.
I'm especially wondering why that guy, though. That was the most disconnected part of all.
