Description

I was in the apartment I grew up in. All the rooms were devoid of furniture, except for one desk where my bed would have been. Accompanying me were four women, one of which was a normal human and the other three were hideous, completely identical monstrous females. These entities were tall, with gangly, asexual bodies and dark blonde hair, beyond which sprouted what only generously could be called "faces". They were protuberant, gaping maws lined with conical outward projecting teeth that were so huge, they could not properly close them. There were no visible noses, only beady eyes far back on the snout that may or may not have been functional.

When it started, I was downstairs in what had been the living room. The normal woman and two of the monsters were in there with me. She had telepathic power over these creatures, and they had to obey her. I understood that she was keeping me safe, and had I been alone with these creatures, they would have torn me apart. Judging from their behavior, while she had them under control she was straining to do so, and they were only very grudgingly behaving themselves. When I went upstairs to my old bedroom, I met the other monster in there. At first, she/they/it did nothing but pace back and forth against the south wall, between the closet and the door to the hallway on the right. This one seemed less aggressive, and it did not attack me, but seemed to be wanting to get my attention. As I walked over to the window I suddenly dropped into sleep, with my feet sticking out into the air of the room and my head resting against the windowsill. I woke to the creature pulling at my legs as if to wake me up. But from what?


Based on a dream I had recently. I interpret the monsters as symbolizing anger and rage, and the third, pictured in the drawing, was communicating restraint and productive expression of these emotions.

Interesting story. I have been reading a lot about "Covid" or "quarantine" dreams lately. Does it fit into that category or do you normally remember your dreams?

I often remember dreams but ones this vivid and compelling only happen every once in a while. I don't think it has anything to do with the pandemic. Every once in a while my brain just packs a wallop like this one. My life hasn't been affected as badly as some, I'm introverted by nature and aside from having classes online and not being able to visit my folks my life is more or less the same. Just scarier and more stressful having to go out to get groceries.

Gotcha. I haven't had any "quarantine dreams" either. I mean, I remember them, and some have been pretty vivid, but nothing out of the ordinary for me either. And yeah, my life hasn't been affected as badly as others either. I'm actually enjoying the extra time and being able to get a lot more things done at home. Yesterday they dropped a bomb on us at work when they laid several people off, though. Some of them were favorites, too. Now I'm worried because it seems like if the popular people are getting picked off, no one is safe.

Yeah my art productivity is much better than it's been in a long time. Sorry to hear about the layoffs, I hope you won't be affected.

I hope so, too. They just announced today that they're planning to do another round in the beginning of June. I guess it's nice they told us in advance, but now I'm going to be stressed out until the time comes.

She's beauty, she's grace, she'll stab you with her face.


Thank you!
