On the Essence of Dreams
I once read a satire that criticized dreaming. The author, who wrote it in the late 1800s, humorously elaborated upon the "boring" habit that people tend to partake in just after wakig up: telling others about their dreams. The satire is my personal favorite, even considering all other satires I have ever read. Yet, I disagree with the author. I actually find enjoyment in hearing the bizarre tales of others, the things that they experience in the dreamscape. So, please, share your dreams. It can be any dream you have ever had, vivid or bland. Sigmund Freud claimed that the driving factors of the human mind lay primarily in the subconscious, and though he was later proven mostly wrong, the things that present themselves when we are unconscious, such as in our dreams, are still interesting. I think you get the idea, so enjoy this challenge!

Half a Dream in September 2020

I don't remember the whole dream, just about the middle to the end, but it was almost like an action film. This was also week ago, so I didn't wrote it down. Only the ending part I remember because that's where most of the action was in and had certain feelings put into.

There was a battle in some sort of moving glass mall, I think, maybe not moving, and there was a boy, 12 or so, who is the main character. He and his friends are trying to get rid of these inky, black things, at this point I don't remember. The boy's mother was also fighting in this war and she looked like a wise witch dressed in purple but she looked too young to be the boy's mother. The boy was running to the back of the mall because something was chasing him. He meets his mother near the exit when suddenly a huge dark figure comes crashing in through the glass ceiling. The mother and the boy separate, the boy near the exit and the mother at the center of the room. She quickly shields herself from the falling glass and the dark figure that looms over her.

This huge, dark figure (ya'll probably won't know this) was the overblot Scar monster-thing from this Japanese app game called Twisted Wonderland. So it was basically a giant stronger version of Disney's villain Scar, but with a crown and sort of an inky galss-like mask. However, in the dream, not only did it had the mask, but behind it, obviously, it had Scar's face and he had huge black wings. That's why he crash in through the ceiling 'cause he got wings!

So this giant Scar looms over the mother and despite him chasing after the boy he had his eyes on her. The mother stares back at him and then at her son, basically telling him to run. Scar looks down at the mother with that wicked grin on his face and seems to have taken an interested to her. The mother was shaken but remains brave since she was a warrior. The boy didn't want to leave his mother, but his friends pushed him out of the mall and lands on a type of futuristic motocyle. The boy calls out to his mother and reaches his hand out to her as the motocyle takes him away. Scar takes over the glass mall and turns it into his own personal castle. The captured people are his servants and the boy's mother was treated like a queen. He always kept a close eye on her.

The dream ends there.
