+I remember having dreamed of dreaming.  I then woke up (for real) and went back
+to sleep.
+

+
+I was in the front passenger seat in a car on a french highway with three lanes.
+Emmanuel Macron was standing up in his car on the central lane, through its
+sunroof, and was shouting a lecture in politics to students sitting in all the
+cars around him.  Two french ministers were also peeking out of their cars'
+roofs on the two other lanes, and were silent.  Macron was saying he could talk
+for hours about his opinion on the right wing, but that it was out of the topic.
+

+
+I walked with my parents next to a Flunch restaurant in Brittany.  There was a
+sign pointing to the location of a supermarket in Lille.

+i was sitting at the last row in a classroom of the elementary school I went to.
+The row was made of three groups of two tables, and I was in the central group,
+on the left table, next to who used to be my best friend when I was in
+preschool.  We were in the middle of a music class, and I was studying the way I
+have been studying after graduating from high school: barely any note-taking,
+just listening to the class.  My friend grabbed my notebook and forced me to
+take notes.
+
+There were graded questions that I was copying down, but I did not realize they
+were questions and that I was supposed to answer them.  The last question was
+graded 4 points out of 20 and we had very little time to answer before the end
+of the class.
+
+I only realized I was taking a test when it was time to give our answer sheets
+back.  I tried to grab a double sheet of paper (an A3 sheet folded in half, the
+most common sheet used for tests in high school) and draw the usual template on
+it: name in the margin, subject centered on the first line, and two red lines
+spanning the whole sheet and separated by 4 lines for the teacher to leave a
+mark and comments.  I messed up the lines a bit, drawing them using an orange
+pen instead of read, and that made me think I messed up the entire sheet.
+
+An oven just like the one I currently own was below the blackboard, on the left,
+and its clock was different than my IRL oven: the screen had thicker, orange
+segments (when my oven has green segments).  The time it was displaying was
+quickly changing, which I explained in my mind by the AC frequency being too
+low.  This oven was apparently syncing its clock with other ovens online,
+causing its clock to change between values like -27:-27, 13:12 or 13:56.
+
+One of the students was not in class today but was present remotely, maybe from
+an airport.  He was trying to answer the questions using some expensive piece of
+music writing software that not all students had access to.  Another student,
+maybe a classmate of mine from elementary school, told the teacher and they
+suggested that "the plushie" pays for the software for everyone else.
+
+The plushie was a smolhaj (nickname of a discontinued 60 centimeters-long
+version of the IKEA Blåhaj) who was apparently given to all the students by the
+school.

+I was in space.  An "unfreezing" process that should take a hundred years had
+begun on a spaceship, which would guarantee a victory for the good people.
+
+Some villains, with large dark wings with red or yellow blinking edges, had
+various reasons to kill me, to kill the good people or to stop the process.
+They came to attack us: they easily sliced off portions of the ship, killing my
+allies and stopping the unfreezing process, and went to attack me.
+
+One of the enemies had red wings and reminded me of an actor that was playing a
+villain in a show like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
+
+I remember the unfreezing process implied terraforming a planet.  I had made
+that planet into something original, but some comrades instead reformed it into
+the Moon, just larger.
+
+There might have been a portion of the dream happening on the Earth before this
+space battle, but I forgot about it.  I had seen a Star Wars movie on TV on the
+evening before going to bed, and that probably influenced this dream.

+I spent the night with one of my cousins in a forest we used to go to when we
+were on vacation at our grandparents' home.  We were on some sort of dirt mound
+between two small rivers.  The mound was covered in wet grass.  There were two
+large houses nearby and we went to see one of them.  The house had multiple
+floors and was actually a Lego store that sold Lego video games.  My mom asked
+an employee about a game and I do not really hear what she says, but they come
+back with a game that costs 0.99€ and can be played for 25 minutes.  You then
+have to play 30€ each time you want to play for 30 more minutes!
+
+In the other house, which looked like it was my parents' house but with a very
+different layout, I found two flatscreens that were displaying the three latest
+medical visits of my parents: some various health data next to a short video of
+my parents sitting like they were about to be photographed for some yearbook or
+other school thing, playing on a loop.  I also found a strange CD of 30
+centimeters in diameter for a documentary on french planes that felt like it
+dated from the 1980s.  I took it with me while thinking I could later upload it
+to YouTube.
+
+In that house, I also think there was a ghost of my mom.
+Quite fitting, considering she passed away recently from some medical issues.
+
+While on the dirt mound, I cut off a piece of a very rusty shovel, but I forgot
+why.

+There was some sort of menu where I could pick between three cars: one with 4,
+one with 6, and one with 9 seats.  The 4-seater was a rather normal car, but the
+other two had roofs with strange shapes, supposed to leave enough space for both
+passengers and their luggage.  The 9-seater had some luggage boxes on the roof
+with glass or transparent plastic doors, so all the contents were visible from
+the outside.

+Someone had gotten kidnapped by some ninjas dressed entirely in black, with some
+tight black piece of clothing covering their heads, in a dark room.  I at first
+thought the victim was the CEO of the company I currently work at, but it turns
+out it was a clone of myself.  I tried to warn the people around me, without
+much success.

+I was in a bedroom similar to the one that I had while I was in elementary
+school, but with a different window that was not spanning the height of the
+whole wall, was larger and had wooden shutters that opened in two halves.
+Thick red curtains surrounded the window, in front of another set of thick brown
+curtains.
+
+I was next to the bed, looking through two pink chests of plastic drawers.  I
+noticed white and blue mold, and even small white mushrooms in some drawers, and
+that scared me.  I was looking for a way to get rid of them, but then I got
+distracted and instead focused on playing with an RC car, try to find out how I
+could intercept the remote's signal and emit them using some Arduino
+contraption.  I opened a drawer at the bottom of the left chest and found some
+unopened 9V and AA Carrefour-branded batteries.
+
+I also remember some sort of Microsoft software in version 2001, still sold in
+plastic cases in stores.  The company was offering a new 2002 version, where the
+only differences are that the software always runs properly on the first try
+(and not 50% of the time as it used to do), and takes 10 seconds less to open.
+It had an edition named after a wasp, but that name looked more like a human
+name than that of a wasp.
+
+In the bedroom, I met a wasp that was as large as a bird and landed on the
+curtains before sliding between the red and brown ones.  I did not know how to
+react, so I tried to imagine a cardboard armor that I would use to fight the
+wasp.

+
+I was lost in some sort of sealed building.  I went through an airlock and
+entered a room full of strange people, a bit wild, uncivilized, before going
+through another airlock, placed symmetrically on the other side of the room.
+I then exited the building and ended up on a plaza that looked like the Place
+Grenette of Grenoble, in daytime.  I saw that one half of the building I was in
+looked abandoned, with broken windows and rust, and was owned by Sirius.  This
+portion of the building hosted Project Gemini.

+I was with my dad, my grandparents on my mom's side and an old woman I did not
+recognize in the headquarters of some sort of federation that defended printing
+companies.  The woman explains that they are trying to get the government to
+create a fund to help printing shops, but does not tell us that they already
+have subsidiaries and my dad does not believe any of what she says.
+
+My grandpa shows us a sheet of thick red paper with some political manifesto
+printed on both sides of it.  He tells us this is what he agreed with when he
+was young, and he could get arrested just for having this manifesto with him.
+
+The woman then explains that to fight for a printing company, they would need to
+write a letter on ten sheets of kraft (brown) paper, then mail it in a kraft
+envelope.
+
+I then remember falling asleep in a bedroom in the attic of my grandparents'
+home, which would be accessible via a set of stairs in a hallway that, in real
+life, leads to my grandpa's office.  I was in the middle of a double bed, caught
+between my grandpa to my left and my dad to my right.  In the morning, my
+grandpa wakes up and goes downstairs.
+
+I start feeling an extremely fast heartbeat, something like 400 beats per
+minute, and tell my dad to go get me some water.  He heads down towards the
+garage, where a sink can be found, takes a long time, then comes back up with a
+glass of coke, which makes me angry.  For context, I was having palpitations IRL
+due to stomach issues, and soda is definitely not going to help, so I was mad at
+my dad for being very unhelpful.  I never went above 150bpm during a
+palpitation.
+
+I then woke up with a strange sensation, as if this palpitation was real, but
+they were only light vibrations of an unknown origin that faded away, and my
+heart was beating normally.

+I was watching an anime drawn in a style from the 2000s.  A young boy was trying
+to save his girlfriend from dying.  She was falling into a volcano's crater
+before a meteor hit the ground a few kilometers away from them, creating what
+looked like an atomic mushroom that kills both protagonists.
+
+Everything goes back to the beginning, and the boy remembers everything that
+happened.  He makes multiple attempts to save everyone, but gets angry as he
+feels helpless from not being able to fix anything.  We then see multiple atomic
+mushrooms appearing one after the other, while a voice was dramatically saying
+"Death is coming" in an Italian-ish language.

+
+I finished my mom's plate by gulping its contents down without looking, but I
+accidentally ate her Sony Ericsson phone in the process.  I felt it vibrate in
+my stomach and I called my dad for help, all the while I was trying to buy a
+used car trailer from someone in a commercial zone.  The trailer was white and
+dirty, and I ran after a car that had one regular trailer and two bicycle
+trailers to avoid them from having to go back here afterwards.

+A man was doing some underwater diving in sewers or artificial channels and had
+to avoid getting sliced off by powerful helices pulling him towards them.  He
+later was with other divers under water, in some sort of flooded cave with cubic
+walls, similarly to a Minecraft cave.
+
+When swimming back towards the surface, reaching a much larger body of water,
+they could see some Minecraft NPC villages from below and tried to identify
+them.  It seems this body of water was a derivation of the entire atlantic ocean
+and the villages were french towns like Morlaix and Yutz.

+They started crying and I hastily dried my hands to go comfort them.

+On the evening of Monday, September 3rd of an unknown year, I was under my loft
+bed at my own home.  My mom came to see me through the living room door and
+asked me if I had everything ready for tomorrow, to which I replied yes.  She
+then went to sleep, although the living room is also my bedroom and there is no
+other place to put a bed at my place.
+
+I wrote down on a rectangular sticky note that I had to check my timetable
+tomorrow, because I started today some classes in a postgrad school, but the
+official beginning of the classes was tomorrow.  There will be 8 hours of
+classes including 2 in half-groups.  We had 6 hours of classes today, in which
+the English teacher already started a first lecture.  The following day, I was
+in such a hurry that I did not even see the sticky note, even though I had
+placed it in a very visible spot.
+

+
+I was swimming in a large rectangular block of water.  It did not have walls;
+the water was staying in this shape by itself, and the block was a few meters
+high.  I was with a few classmates and one of my cousins, who had to go to see
+the nurse because she got harassed by other students.
+
+I tell a librarian about this and they force me to copy a sentence 120 to 130
+times, which causes all the students around me to feel indignation.  My
+surroundings change from that block of water to a regular school library, and
+the dozen students around me decide to help me.  I am given a sheet of paper
+with ten sentences already written down, and one with a lot more space where I
+am told to write down an explanation of what really happened, to help my cousin.
+I look around me and see everyone smiling at me.
+
+In the end, I am back in the water and two girls, twins, go after another girl
+that was leaving the water, to try to avenge my cousin.

+I was a cook at a Domino's Pizza where the manager decided to stay opened
+tonight despite the stay-at-home order telling everyone to not go outside after
+6pm.  Nobody is wearing a mask, but this Covid regulation still exists.
+All the other employees leave, but I stay to make some calculations.  The
+manager tries to keep me from finding some data I needed to make my
+calculations.  I was trying to prove that we would be losing a lot of money by
+staying open and serving the only order we received tonight, $50 of pizza that
+cost us $250 to make.  I tell the manager he is now fully in the wrong as I am
+now defending the company's interests, so they will definitely help me.

+of my friends was driving, I was in charge of opening and closing the numerous
+windows of the bus to control the air temperature while the weather was quickly
+evolving.  It was a sunny summer day, but the sky quickly filled up with gray
+clouds and it started raining.
