Dream Country.

Lockdown was a crazy period for most of us. Anyway, I have been having a lot of weird dreams. So I documented some. Mind you, these have been rethought and recreated from the small notes I made. So gaps gets filled, confusions settled and ironed out by my conscious self. 

Olx, btm and such:
Back in Subex office I think. Some project. I ask R if she has the project details, then she calls P and tells me she is the test lead, so ask her. She comes over and tells something basic about the project, keeps coming closer, and gets too close. I remember her almost standing on my toes close with a sly smile.

Then later R and me gets out. Lunch? Or smoke. It's near btm only. We walk. He says he wanna pick up something. Some olx types. We share a cig but in my mind I am going we shouldn't, corona. We reach the house, then he goes inside. I get a peek in, sees one lady and another person changing his shirt but I can see surgery marks like that of a removed breast. Transitioning, perhaps? Another guy too has a very feminine look. R goes into try out a jacket. A lady, old tells me to come sit. There are too many people in that living room. It seems like a brothel or something. Two pretty, young women were playing kissy kissy and humming songs while doing it. Then was it only just one girl playing with the air? The lady next to me is playful, smiling too much, touchy and all, asks stuff. An old lady, with a big booger. 
The lady then changes in the scene or did I go in to check on R who is trying a shirt now, a shiny one. Another guy, indifferent, is in the room who is wearing a similar shirt as R is trying. He seems to be getting ready to go out collecting his stuff - watch wallet mobile and such. R checks the shirt and says he's put on weight (although it's the opposite if you consider real life, he is looking much leaner) and I say yeah and you know it. Then I come back and sit I think next to the lady, but it's a different, a little younger lady, older than me though. She's touchy feely in a very familiar way. Holding my hand near my elbow and all. Then says you look good like this or something. Asks if I have a girlfriend. I say no or something. Then she says girlfriend boyfriend, I mean these days one can't be sure. I was like yeah why do people assume. Then she keeps going yeah some like without hands some without face I'm not saying anything. I notice that a young guy has come sat next to me, perhaps the same guy who was in the other room. I also notice this woman has either some parts in her mouth cut off or as if she's decayed. I remember there are no teeth in her left jaw and that there is big a gap between her jaw and gum like stuff missing, like it's floating, maybe? Next I feel her tightening her grip on my elbow a little more, as if getting ready to grab me if I try to run. And I feel as if she's suddenly cutting my neck with a not so sharp blade or stabbing me with maybe a needle? I wake up. 

Some weird cricket match:
Some cricket match, I am on the ground but I am sure I am not playing, only watching. I think it's an India Pak match. There are others who are so enthusiastic about the match, I think they were talking in expletive filled Hindi. They keep talking about the match, through the match, as if they know about it - like a movie they have seen already. And also they are making fun of the Pak team too, I think. I think India wins the match. Then we are returning. Now everyone's walking back via this high narrow bridge thing, like a wide log. I am afraid of falling so I am lying on my stomach grabbing the path/walkway with both my hands and semi crawling. They all look but nobody was making fun, as if this also was normal. As I go crawling this pathway becomes adjacent to a raised pavilion/gallery for watching the match so I get in there across the pavilion's railing and use the stairs and get down. I see some people in the pavilion maybe eating, like it's a restaurant.

More after that weird cricket match:
Next is more like a doomsday thing. A guy and girl is there. I am seeing from their perspective but I am there too. They are packing, they talk as if they are some star crossed lovers. I remember feeling their pain every time they hug. Or was it just me who knows about their fate? Anyway everyone's packing, and she has a list. Someone's giving speeches in the ground floor. Remember that pavilion from the earlier dream? I think they are there. The whole thing had a 'Dark' series vibe. Or maybe in my mind they are speaking German? Or the girl looks like one from the series? Then she says it's time to go and then goes off to hug her grandmother sitting and packing in the adjacent room, when the cat which is with the guy starts acting weird, and he calls for her. I go in my mind yeah this is how it starts. I take the cat and try to subdue it, but it was trying to attack and it was almost getting difficult to control it. I wake up.

That one in which the script talks:
In the copy of the pilot of the show given to the lead (female) actor, an animated character/meme which comes in the credits, breaks the fourth wall and starts blurting out, bad mouthing about the abuse towards the actors and various ladies associated by different people. As it finally finishes, everyone gathered around starts applauding the writer when it suddenly goes "I haven't started talking about the show's creator yet"

The one which was very eery:
We are going somewhere or coming from somewhere. N is there. P is there. We are walking towards the car park. It's dad's car and I am the one who's gonna drive. Dad's not there. It's a long walk. All cars are getting out together. So a long convoy. N says looks like he needs a cig and he lights one and we bum. Then we reach near the car and I say no smoking inside. Then I start the car, there is a sharp turning in the ground, I reverse and turn. Then we goto a restaurant (or were we coming from there?).
Next scene is a room, possibly the old living room from Kadungallore. There's a box like a Walkman, and S, J and me are hooked to it. There are a few people around too, P probably. The box seems like a conduit to speak to a dead person and I dunno if S is asking the questions but seems like the answers are coming through J. Then seems like J is sad. The dead person is someone else, or the vessel's name Salona. Then we ask J what's her name she says Salona, Salona in a sing song manner. S is like no your name and then she looks around and P and me and says Salona. And says sadly to us 'isn't that what he is asking' and visibly sad and distressed and confused. And I notice her pupils are dilating and it's red and I am like is she stuck. And should we remove the headset? And then others go no no. I wake up. And even then I could hear the sing song way she was saying Salona, Salona. I went and peed and came back to bed and still I could hear that voice. It was eery.

The one with the hot air balloon:
We were sitting in a room, old Kadungallore house I think. Then S comes in, she's wearing trackpants and a crop top and jumper/jacket, and walks in with a very formal air. She gives me two boxes of chocolate, which I go and keep in a steel almirah in the bedroom (and not in the fridge, dunno why). There were other boxes of chocolate in the almirah, one falls down I just throw it back in and close the almirah. Then the scene changes and we are all in the city, and in a balloon. It's seemed like a residential street like in Bangalore, where a building construction is also happening in the vicinity. There is one guy (45-50 years old) dunno who, seems like we are to take him to a hospital or something. But he seems well. However locals are not allowing us to go, and then this guy looks at them and nods and the leaders of the locals say let him go. We slowly go up. I can hear the local people telling we can still stop them, just give the word.
