I have to get this out. A hippo came for me.
Yeah. You read that right. I've never dreamed of a hippo before. I was walking on a trail to my camp and it was a familiar and beautiful path. There were small cabins or huts that were made from bamboo. Not terribly strong.
I walk towards my hut and I notice a big hippo right by it. It looked me in the eyes and charged at me. I could barely make it in my hut. The hippo kept trying to break in.
This is it I thought. I'm dead. I thought about calling 911 but I realized no one could help me. I sat there screaming and trapped. The hut collapsed and I was able to jump out.
The dream continues on to my cousin's wedding in which I slept through the whole thing and woke up to meatloaf on a plate. Pissed that no one woke me up. I missed something important and no one cared.

Hippos, diamonds, and cats
Short dream I got chased by a hippo down the street. It only stopped to eat green diamonds. Shortly I found an old man of a cat, he was missing an eye and a leg. He was skeptical about me petting him but enjoyed it anyway. I sat on the floor with his fat brother and listened to stories from a doll in a rocking chair.
What in the Alice liddell infused silliness is this?

Dream I had about floating head movie thing
So like, we were watching a movie and I remember myself describing it as a movie I had seen before where the female love interest sacrifices herself for her boyfriend or something. Then I was in the movie, and there were these hippos dancing and this giant roller coaster thing that sometimes turned into a giant sexy woman. I remember a cover of 'the Truth' from the Steven Universe movie playing for some reason. Imagine this giant sandstone cube floating. Also it's like sundown. Then there was a computer programme we used to put a face onto a block on that giant stone. Then there was a spinning sideways pillar that we used to revealed a maze of tunnels. These mole guys went through it and got everything they could from it. Then this giant evil lego floating head thing subsumed the maze into his lego tophat. Then we were doing another thing and the head guy got even more parts for his hat, though I can't remember the specifics. Then there was this evil guy who was trying to offer the head more lego to add to the head's tophat but he refused it. A phone conversation then took place roughly going like this:
Evil mortal: "Alright I'm up here."
Evil head: "Uh huh"
EM: "Uh, let's seeeee. Oh. I think I found what it was"
EH: "Did you."
EM: Yes, I appear to have forgotten a block here."
EH: "...."
EM: "..........."
EH: "........................."
EM: \*Hangs up\*
The head then, contradicting what he just said, subsumed the offering into his hat. Then I guess my dream forgot about that, or this happened before the head subsumed the entire thing, but this good guy started to rebuild the thing, except some of the pieces don't fit.
Then I woke up naked in a train station or something. (Didn't realize I was still dreaming. I didn't actually wake up in a train station naked.). I thought it felt really real. I got dressed and there was some movie trivia or something??? Then there was this kid who was like failing his Civic's test or something.
Then I woke up for real
Some of this is probably out of order.

Nightmare I just had and quickly jotted down, it was just intense and I don’t have anyone I’m comfortable sharing it with so I’m sharing it here
Sorry for my crap grammar, I had to jot it down before i forgot
It starts with helping people around a race track, you know how people get stuck on race/rally tracks well i was helping unstick them. Well I turn a corner and suddenly I’m helping dazed animals that don’t seem to know what is going on and I suddenly get back in my car that now looks like some strange contraption, I’m helping them onto some sort of fairy. I open the door onto the fairy and it is not a fairy. It’s like i was transported to a landscape of death. Bloated corpses of elephants and hippos line the path with a droning in the background, their white eyes following me. So i proceed forward not knowing what i would find then i come to another door, i open it and the scenery and droning intensifies, the corpses are reaching out for help but their proportions are all wrong, its like they went through that content aware scaling. There is no sky but its not a tunnel, just very foggy and a giant corpse in the distance. Suddenly i look down and realize ive been riding an animal, i guess an elephant so i try to reach down to hug it and i lift my hands away and discover that it too is just a corpse. For some reason i cant stop thinking about how people would be shocked and disturbed if they found out about this. A trunk or some kind of limb starts reaching for me from below front and just before it reaches me I woke up.
