I had a dream. About Patchy the Pirate.
You know, Spongebob Squarepants Patchy. And let me tell you, this dream has me f*ed up. Because Patchy the Pirate. Had started a cult.
He figured out how to brainwash people. He had this huge "congregation," he'd written his own Patchy Bible and Patchy hymnals and there was an underwater "church." And somehow, he managed to get his hook in me. But his intentions with me weren't merely for a new congregation member. Nooooo. He was after the booty.
I managed to break out of the mind control by eating a huge chunk of bread, and when he started suspecting I wasn't as compliant as I should be, he took me to the Patchy interrogation room. Started asking me questions, grilling me on my Patchy knowledge, loyalty, even set a plate of bacon in front of me... because APPARENTLY the Patchy Religion doesn't allow pork? He tried to brainwash me again, but I was able to resist this time, and at this point he was okay with me having control of my own faculties as long as I stayed. He'd make excuses for my lack of hymnal knowledge, insisted I read passages from the bible out loud to the congregation (literally it was all a bunch of made-up stories he'd written himself to make himself sound cool), and he had me stand up at the pulpit with him every church session. And this one girl, I don't even think she was brainwashed, but oooooohh she hated me. She was after HIS booty, and I was 100% on board with that ship. Preferably for that ship to sail far, FAR away from me.
Eventually, I decided I was just gonna leave. Walk right out the front door, eff all this mess, I'm outta here, and he started begging, crawling on his knees behind me, "please stay, I'll do anything, I'll change, whatever you want!!" Bro, you are BRAIN WASHING PEOPLE TO BE IN YOUR CULT. I DON'T WANT THAT IN MY LIFE. And he stopped and said "so... if I stop doing that...? You'll stay?" I don't even know what came over me, but he looked so pitiful that I actually said yes 🤦♀️
So uh. There you have it. Patchy cult, brainwashing and all...
I need a drink.

Talking to a crow.
Had a dream last night that I saw a crow flying and then it turned and flew directly to me. It sat on the ground and I got down on my hands and knees really close to it. It started talking to me in plain English, but the only thing I remember was that it said “what are you gonna do about it?!” in a sort of angry, yelling tone.
I’m completely lost as to the meaning because I’ve never dreamed of a crow let alone an animal that I can talk to.

Crying over a picture of a rubber duck on a book
m, 18
Woke up hysterically crying today because I had a dream that I was at target, I saw a book with the cover torn off, and this illustration in the dead center of the page, this 1:1 square, rounded corners (looking similar to an iOS app icon), of this rubber duck with this-- either bucket hat or, explorer sort of hat on, in a wave, almost like an ocean. I remember seeing it move a little bit, the duck floating through the peaks and troughs. I woke up with my knees tucked to my chest, my pillow soaked with tears. I don't see how this relates to anything in my life as I don't remember any specific events with rubber ducks, target, or books. Maybe target-- but with books or rubber ducks bare no relevancy to target.

An oddly sensual, vivid dream I had this morning
I want to share an unusually vivid dream from last night.
I was on a college campus that I'd never been to before, with lots of people. I was at a bar/refreshment stand in the middle of a multi-story union/classroom building with an atrium and second story balcony leading to classrooms and a basement off to my left. Someone kept handing me sticks of gum, so I kept chewing them. Eventually my mouth was full of gum, and some was running down my throat to the point that I had to pull long, thick strings of gum out of my throat, which gagged me and made me drool. I went to get a drink, but there was no bartender to be found. I wanted Jaeger for some reason, which I never drink, so I looked behind the bar and saw a tap for Jaeger but then noticed an ex girlfriend from highschool walking in a group of people in the upstairs balcony/hall. I tried to wave but she didn't see me.
Next I'm walking into to a classroom, long and thin with multiple tables, and a large whiteboard on wheels in the middle of the room. It was supposedly for a science or math class. There was a few other students filing in behind me. The class was on the second or third floor, which matters later. I sat down at the back behind the whiteboard, near a set of glass swing-out windows. I found a pair of socks (supposedly mine?) laying on the ground under my feet and thought something about "guess they're still here."
Suddenly I'm in the same classroom, but it's mostly empty and dark, like the Upside Down. There are some weird egg sac pustule looking things attached to the wall. They pulsed and sprayed a thin, airy jet of "eggs" or "seeds" and even though I was freaked out, somehow I knew that the larvae were going to become butterflies.
Then I was back in the room as normal. A group of young men stood up and carried a microwave to a window, which they swung open with force. I stood up and turned towards them. They yelled "ONE, TWO, THREE, LOOK OUT BELOW!" and proceeded to throw the microwave out the window and I watched as the last of the cord disappeared whipping wildly as it fell. It crashed on the cement below, where multiple students were walking into the building from a parking lot.
Next thing I know I'm back at the bar island with a pint in front of me. I was sat down at the far side of the bar from where the dream started and there was a short, cute, blonde girl with large breasts sitting next to me. We talked for a second, then she was in my arms, being sweet and affectionate. I could feel her bra under her shirt where her extravagant breasts pressed into me. I walked her to the basement where a large glass double door was leading to a classroom and as soon as we got to the bottom she said something about not being mine. I got on my knees and jokingly begged for her back, it wasn't obvious if she was being serious, because we were both still laughing and smiling. She said something I can't remember and so I walked back up the stairs. When I reached the top, she threw her arms wide and yelled "Come and get me boys, I'm right here!" I gave her the finger and walked away through a large throng of students yelling something about "1% of 1%, you don't know what you're missing." Which means nothing to me awake.
Then I woke up.

Is a flying kangaroo a symbol of something?
Last night I dreamt I saw a kangaroo with a Joey in its pouch. I lowered myself to my knees and bowed before it (face and hands down) the kangaroo hopped over to me, sniffed my hair then jumped over me except it didn't land, all I heard was the fluttering of feathered wings and it was gone.
