"I was at a place visiting a very very old woman I believe he could have been like a great grandparent but I didn't really know getting my dream she was like a great grandmother I was visiting and it was a special day for her and there were a couple of us visiting and for some reason I painted something of hers and we painted it pink and it was really good and so I decided I would paint The Back Fence of this place the surrounding fence pink because that would be really nice and I knew there was a man he actually was a convict but he was looking for work so I thought I would just ask him if he would do it for us so he came and he painted like half of the inside fence and it looked really bad it was really obvious and bad in some areas sprinklers were hitting it in the paint was running and then I remembered that when we moved her and they told us not to be obvious to not make waves to stay under the radar and I freaked out and I realized I made a huge mistake and I had to wait until the fence dried before I could repaint it and I had already stopped the man from painting the fence and he was standing around somewhere waiting for me to pay him and in the meantime I had to go back to the apartment where she was at and the manager and somebody else was there they had dust pans rooms and vacuum cleaners and they were kicking us out because of what we had done and I panicked and I just kept saying there was a misunderstanding it was a huge misunderstanding it's all my fault I am so sorry tomorrow morning we will paint that whole fence back to the other color it was a big misunderstanding it wasn't his fault it was my fault and it was a huge misunderstanding and I'm so sorry and finally they let us stay but then it was still in a panic looking for him because I couldn't let them talk to him because he would tell them no she's straight up told me to paint the fence I never found him I woke up"

"omg i was napping andi had the weirdest dream. i was back at home and i had a car that was mine and i parked by the old bread store and was thinking i would probably go to my dads place and started waking there, halfway realizing that he wont be there and he doesnt care. then i thought id go home to my mom and i tried calling but no one was picking up. a man thought i was taking a picture of him when taking pics of my car so i showed him my phone to prove otherwise and started walking home. there was a lot of people and it looked like the roads were older. as i was walking towards the crosswalk to my house i look to the right and theres a woman leaning on a railing with a cane, watching people walk. it looked like my grandma the way she did when i was a kid. i watched her face as her hair stopped hiding it, almost like waiting to prove that it was her and i was shocked. then i recognized something odd about her that proved that it wasn’t her. she looked sad and i think she was crying. then i woke up. the whole dream felt off, like i knew no one was at home waiting for me but i was wanting to go back anyway"
