It's been a while since that dream happened.
No matter what I do, it seems that dream began to elude me.
Of course, it takes practice and discipline to lucid dream consistently. What had happened that night wasn't even intended on my part.
I was able to recreate the dream in my head; but this is just it - the repeats. Just me memorising and replaying that dream over and over again - seeking answers. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get them to say anything more than what they already said to me - and I couldn't even ask for more either.
It was essentially some sort of a time-loop; with varying amounts of vividity.
I've recorded as much as possible. Eventually I had to buy a special diary just relating to that one dream I had just to not confuse my notes. I don't have that "replicated dream" every night after all, or else I would have gone insane.
And... As a result of having such vivid dream... My mind began to drift.
No longer did I want to be tethered to the reality anymore. Whatever joy I had at the time had dissipated completely.
What was already painfully monotonous - had increased tenfold.
I couldn't bear to sit in this gray, dull classroom. Especially not when...
*Bop*
"Oi, Shinji! The hell you're staring at the window? Are you what? A bird-watcher? Pfhaha!! Should'a paid attention this time."
"..."
"Let's go, guys - seems our little bird-loving daydreamer isn't in a mood for talking."
So annoying, trying to get a rise out of me just because I'm still doing the bare minimum in classes unlike these flunkees.
Do they really have nothing better to do than trying to validate their sense of self-grandiose by picking on what they deem "an oddity"?
Either way, in order to seek out answers about this dream world, I've gathered the courage to ask on the forum.
"I've had this strange dream one day - did anyone dream something similar to this?"
I've written the description of how the dream world looked and waited for the answers.
Some were confirming that they had a similar dream, but didn't think too much about it - however there was ONE person who was curious?
"Mind if we DM each other for details?"
I've started exchanging messages with the guy, and to my surprise he recalls a lot of events similar to this dream.
Seemed like a pleasant guy to talk to.
"Do let me know if there's any progress on that dream. Perhaps we could investigate it together? I did hear about how some dreamers end up having a shared dream."
"That would be a pleasure of mine."
There was this one... Incident I suppose.
While walking towards a train station, I felt an odd presence pass me by.
I genuinely don't know what it was. Usually I would've paid no mind to it.
Yet when I passed this person, I felt immense sense of dread.
And when I turned...
I lost it.
Hopefully it won't be long until I have another dream.

It was a fun time; however I only visited it as a guest. If I want to ask anyone about this dream that I had, I need to make an account... //

"I've had this strange dream one day - did anyone dream something similar to this?" by user [sm1718190]
"This is my first post, please treat me gently. m(_ _)m
Hello everyone; has anyone had this dream before?
Basically it goes like this:
I came to my senses in some sort of dark and starry area - and before me appeared a ghost, saying I must help someone; and before I knew it - I was transported into a vivid world.
There was a sheep lady who was a shepherd on the pasture; a man with a broken clock atop a dark lake; a fae magician and finally a queen (that is important).
The queen had blonde hair and blue eyes; and she told me that another lucid dreamer is trying to destroy this world by tearing the membrane(?) of it.
Had anybody dreamt of something similar to this? For your information: I never had any contact with things described in the dream before - so I doubt it's a conglomeration of my own personal memories and interests."
// I let the topic sit for a day, and when I returned there were some replies. //
ryo13ga74: Hoping it's not a set up to big standard Internet Mystery (ARG) lol
sm2718282: Cool; also no ^^'
tai_q: I suppose? Some details seem familiar, but I don't know if it's 1-to-1 match...
sm3141592: liar
nemochoi: Have you seen ghosts?
muga610_juku: Mind if we DM each other for details? I've had dreams like these.
sm1618033: Please write more (つ≧▽≦)つ ! ! !
// The post didn't gain much traction, but I am curious why would this person want to DM me about?
I should exercise caution while DM-ing a stranger... //
muga610_juku: Mind if we DM each other for details? I've had dreams like these.
>> sm1718190: Sure.
// To appear as approachable as possible, I need to break the ice first... //
[17:34] sm1718190: Hello *^^)ﾉｼ
// After some time, they replied //
[19:08] muga610_juku: Yo
[19:12] sm1718190: So what did you want to DM me about?
[19:14] muga610_juku: It's about that dream. I wasn't feeling too comfortable sharing my experiences here (long) - so I wanted to relay them in DMs
[19:14] muga610_juku: Is that okay with you?
[19:15] sm1718190: Sure! Bring it on! ^^)
// By that time I was supposed to have a dinner, so I let it sit for a while.
When I returned I was surprised by what I saw //
[19:17] muga610_juku: What you just described is exactly what I had in my dreams. Sheep, lake, fae - those are the things I saw in our dreams too.
[19:21] muga610_juku: Is your post the abridged version? I would like to inquire further details.
[19:22] muga610_juku: It's just having similar dreams to someone is something I have prior experience of. I just need to confirm some things.
[19:47] sm1718190: Sorry for delay, had dinner o((*^▽^*))o
[19:48] muga610_juku: Was it good?
[19:49] sm1718190: Homemade Curry Rice (・∀・) !
[19:49] muga610_juku: Jealous... (Sulking)
[19:49] muga610_juku: Anyhow, details?
// I've relaid everything I could in that conversation and here are some responses they sent to me... //
[19:57] muga610_juku: I see......................
[19:58] sm1718190: Why so many dots? lol
[19:58] muga610_juku: So what happened after that ghost sent you to the dream world?
...
[20:07] muga610_juku: Yeah I do remember the sheep...
[20:09] muga610_juku: Remember how I used to press my face against them...
[20:09] sm1718190: Cute
[20:10] muga610_juku: Oi!
...
[20:27] muga610_juku: Annoying, isn't it? Such a pretty view being tainted by mosquitoes and lunatics roaming around.
[20:28] sm1718190: Yeah...
[20:28] muga610_juku: Manifest pesticide! Death to all!
[20:29] sm1718190: LOLLLLLLL
...
[20:41] muga610_juku: Stupid fairies! I hate them! Absolute worst!
[20:42] sm1718190: Woah, you must really hate them, huh?
[20:42] muga610_juku: How could you not??? They're bane of everyone's existence! Complete Execution!
[20:42] sm1718190: Their wings do have a paper feel; perhaps they're like Papier Mache? Origami?
[20:43] muga610_juku: Wait, really? Didn't know that.
// However when I talked about the queen, they oddly went silent... It took a while for them to respond //
[21:37] muga610_juku: Well I guess that's a wrap. Don't hesitate to DM me if there's any updates regarding that odd dream of yours. I'm genuinely curious.
[21:38] sm1718190: Yessir.
[21:40] muga610_juku: I wonder if we can explore this dream together sometime? I did hear about folks having shared dreams on this site. Nifty stuff.
[21:40] sm1718190: I should be preparing for bed now. Mom will be mad if I don't.
[21:41] muga610_juku: You live with your mother?
[21:41] sm1718190: I'm 17. I'll report to police if you do something evil-minded.
[21:42] muga610_juku: Whaaaaaa???? Nooooooo!!! I'm actually surprised I was talking to a pipsqueak just now!!!
[21:43] muga610_juku: You shouldn't be wandering in the internets, you know?
[21:43] sm1718190: I'll be turning 18 next year, you old geezer!
[21:44] muga610_juku: I'm 26! ToT
[21:44] muga610_juku: Go to sleep, you little brat!
[21:44] sm1718190: Is it mandated for adults to be complete jerks to children? lol
[21:45] muga610_juku: Urk...
