"I dreamed about a senior that I admire / have a crush on. He’s very close to my ideal type — someone who loves nature, sports, and outdoor activities, enjoys documenting life, and lives in a way that’s similar to the lifestyle I aspire to. I’m still not sure about his personality. His overall aura feels a bit like the guy I liked in secondary school — that kind of presence — but he’s not as conventionally handsome or masculine in appearance. In the dream, he and a senior girl (they use the same cartoon character for they school accounts and I don’t think they’re in a relationship, but they seem like close classmates. ) were walking around together with me. Later, the two of them held hands. Surprisingly, in the dream I felt quite happy and didn’t feel jealous at all. I just walked along with them. At one point, the senior girl left briefly, and the senior guy still showed care and concern for me."

"I was being chased through a dark forest by a shadowy figure. Every time I tried to hide behind a tree, the figure would appear closer. I felt my heart pounding. Then suddenly I was in my childhood home, but all the furniture was floating. My dead grandmother appeared and handed me a broken mirror. I could see my reflection but it was crying even though I felt calm. She said something but I could not hear her. I woke up feeling deeply unsettled."
