Dream log: life color charts and pirate adventure story

My Secret Notebook
2 min readJul 21, 2022

I had a dream that I was at an event, like my college reunion. A couple things happened with some young people where we met at the reunion, then disconnected, reunited, etc. And basically, there was a chart that showed each person as a color, and it was a line chart that showed how well someone was doing that weekend/trip. And you can see lines touch/intersect, which represents you get together or are close with a certain person. And it was predictive. We eventually realized it was true, like it reflected when I got together with Roy (we were chillin at this nice “airbnb” ish place, on the floor area). And other people going off to join other groups.

In a few days, there was a huge drop where everyone, or most people drop to the bottom of the chart, which was ominous. Then, near the end some go really high up. Most people started high though, so idk if the trip was really good for everyone. I tried to identify my color, but I was a tan/orange color, so it was hard to follow. sometimes the line breaks and stuff.

Later, I was walking around with my mom, and we were trying to get free bags, which was on the schedule, but didn’t show up location. We were in a sort of restaurant/lobby area, and I ended up wheelchairing her because she was getting tired. I had to lift the wheelchair a lot to get it over stairs.

We ended up in the alamo style luncheon area. And there was a 2 year old who kept crying so I took her and asked if she wanted to watch the adventure “ipad” story, or continue the pirate adventure story that her previous caretaker was telling her. She opted for pirate. And I asked if she wanted a new story or that same story. She wanted new.

So I let her pick her character:

  1. Jessica: a girl who is shy and unsure of herself, growing up in the shadow of her old sister who is more extroverted. She wants to go on this trip to get out of her shell.
  2. Jake: a boy who [lol i forgot what i said ugh!]
  3. Alex: a (more gender neutral is what I was going for) boy-ish who is very bored with life, is popular and extroverted, but is looking for excitement.

Anyway, she chose Jessica, so I started the story. It was the day of her trip, and suddenly — and IRL, two girls came up to see the 2 year old and presented options for the story: watch a movie, or [i forgot]. They had little scripts that they read too lol. So we asked if she wanted to do any of those options instead of the pirate adventure. She didn’t want to offend the girls irl is seemed, so she just said she needed to go pee. So I found her caretaker to take her to pee lol.
