cimoreneThe night before last I had THREE different anxiety nightmares featuring waxjism!
Last night I had a different anxiety nightmare, of the "trying to take care of my sister" genre (based on memories from childhood when she was a smaller child and needed it) combined with the "trying to wrangle my parents in a new environment" genre (based on the Vacation from Hell). We were in the magical city where every city I've ever lived in is the same city and my sister & I and my friend Chi were meeting my parents for dinner at an outdoor café on Vappu, the Finnish Walpurgis eve celebration, only it was so crowded no vehicles could move downtown, the streets were thronged with raucous people, sort of a mix of Mardi Gras and a Venetian Carnivale scene from a sinister medieval fantasy movie, and after dinner my parents forgot they were supposed to give us a ride in their wheelchair van and disappeared, the rest of us got separated in the crowd, and I spent the rest of the dream walking back to my parents' house alone, narrowly escaping death multiple times, and for some reason freezing, wet, and barefoot, and the walk took all night.
waxjism!- I dreamed that Wax was having a Timothée Chalamet movie-watching party without me and didn't even ask if I would want to come (this isn't REALLY realistic but she did go to Jumanji a month ago without asking if I wanted to come with)
- I dreamed that she had started bleaching and dyeing her hair with the aid of some rando stranger without asking me to help (the stranger part not realistic, but she has frequently cut her own hair, resulting in weird hacked bits, because she was too lazy to ask for my help when I was just out in the next room. I usually ask her help in the finishing stage of trimming MY hair to make sure the bottom of the back is even)
- Least realistic of all, I woke up in an alternate universe where it was 2040. I stumbled blearily out into a strange kitchen to find out it was 20 years in the future, we didn't have any pets, but we had a CHILD (I was like "We - what?? Why??? - okay I'll deal with that later but first can we just get a cat? Two cats. And preferably like a couple of rabbits, or one rabbit, or it doesn't need to be a rabbit, a goat or a sheep or even a bird would be okay...") and worst of all, we were living in the US. In GEORGIA! ("America is bad enough, but WHY GEORGIA?" I said.) I was horrified and a little panicked. I put aside every other issue and said "CAN WE MOVE TO FINLAND RIGHT NOW? IS THERE ANY REASON WE CAN'T LIVE IN FINLAND? WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE PETS LATER!"
