"to start, my dream began with me being in a remote location where there was no light pollution or anything and I was surrounded by forest. I remember looking up at the moon in admiration and specifically thinking how detailed and bright and beautiful it looked in that moment. Then suddenly, the moon started to explode and screaming from people around me began (no clue who it was as I didn’t see anyone only heard them). I remember being mesmerized by the whole thing and I wasn’t scared but accepting that death was surely to follow. I watched the moon break apart slowly and as it crashed to earth I closed my eyes and waited for the explosion. When my eyes were closed my dream went from dark to super bright and I could feel the heat from the explosion. I knew I was transitioning from life to death but I felt no pain or panic just peace as I felt the heat and light taking me. After the explosion I woke up in what I assume was the afterlife. There were a lot of other people there and it was set up as a system of rooms and hallways. Some rooms had a lot of people in them, some had none. Some rooms were brightly lit and some were dark with no lights at all. I remember going to one room where it was set up almost like a movie theatre and other people were sitting and watching the screen but it was black with nothing on it. I didn’t stay and I kept navigating the hallways. I eventually came to this dark hallway that had an ominous feeling to it but I was drawn to it and it was as if I knew that was the direction I needed to go. I felt scared but also I knew it would be okay? I’m not sure how to explain it. I imagine it as the same feeling you’d get when you’re about to jump out of an airplane and skydive for the first time. I don’t remember much after I got to that specific hallway and I woke up shortly after. The whole thing felt very real and had me shaken up when I woke up."

"Last night I had a dream that this person was pitching a show idea to Disney (im very rarely myself in dreams so that doesn’t concern me) and I want to pitch a show idea so assume it’s something like that. The dream was These witches are like 12 and every year the year 6s (last year of primary school in Australia) are taken to look at northern lights and then it causes the ocean to create a whirlpool in the air (don’t ask why). When it does those who see it make a wish and if when it comes true they don’t need “training wheels” anymore like a broom to fly for example. This girl, the main character wishes to marry another girl but when the teacher asks she’s too embarrassed to admit so she says she wants to become a famous basketball player. Then she grows up and is still using a broom etc and her parents don’t understand then her childhood best friend says something like “ok im done with watching we’re going to this girl right” and the main girl protested but gets flown out the room. The show cuts to credits or something I assume because then I woke up And would y’all watch this?? Hahaha"
