Sharing my dreams from the other week, that I posted in INFP...
The first "dream", actually a set of dreams. It was a nested dream of at least three levels, and as soon as I became aware of being in a dream, I woke myself up to find myself in a dream again, and so on. It was like a puzzle, and also reminiscent of former dreams, so the deja vu was very strong. And then I remember, "oh, this is a continuation of that dream, I am in a dream, time to wake up!"
The second one is the more disturbing for me, although it was in the form of a game that looked like an anime-style visual novel. I had become too invested in the characters, obviously, and I kept on losing in the game because it involved answering questions that had to do with politics and strategy. This is what I get from watching too much Code Geass, lol. The game goes like this:
It is a Romeo and Juliet type of story, and the setting is a war between their two countries. You play the male protagonist, which is a young prince. Your love interest's rank is unspecified, but she is of the other country. Actually, the story starts when both nations are at peace, so the two of you meet before anyone would have known that there will be international war.
As the prince (I'm not sure if you're next in line), you are asked to attend an important meeting with several politicians and officers of the military. They make their statements, which seem innocent enough. There are disagreements, but everyone is saying what they think is best for your country. They ask your opinion. This is the first turning point. Depending on your answer, you end up siding with military rebels for a coup d'etat, joining civil demonstrations for democracy, or being targeted for assassination. I was targeted for assassination, and died.
Second try. I don't remember what answer I chose. I think I joined the military. I took politics seriously, worked hard for my country. But the girl didn't love me any more. Bad ending.
Third try. I think I joined the civilian movement. I became an ordinary citizen and had a long, wonderful love life. But I had to make a decision again, and I chose the girl. My country killed me as a traitor. Bad ending.
Fourth, fifth, many tries. I was able to avoid assassination, and still be a prince with political clout. I managed to balance love life and nationalism as much as I could. I tried to persuade my beloved to defect to my country. She did. I thought I was doing well, but after a while, she became unhappy. Bad endings.
After many bad endings, I was able to go so far as to marry the love of my life in my home country. I don't remember if I was still a prince or a political figure. And then, weird things started to happen. First, my wife disappeared. Then came the sci-fi twist in the story. A girl comes from the future, claiming to be my daughter. And my wife is found - caught red-handed as a spy from the other country. I am confused, if we will have a daughter, that means my wife will be saved and come back to me. I try to save my wife. She is executed anyway. Grieving and confused, I kill myself. More bad endings along those lines.
Every time I get a bad ending, I have to go back to the start. What did I miss? Was there any hint that she is a spy, or would be a spy? Can I trust that girl from the future? What is the object of this game anyway? I just keep on losing, and I don't know if I'm doing any better or worse...
The more I played the game, the more I became jaded and doubted everyone. I played the part of a loving boyfriend and loyal prince, but everything was calculated. In a sense, it was all an act. And it made me (not the character) feel sick. I could feel my personal and moral beliefs eroding. People become chess pieces in my quest for a good ending.
Another twist. My wife doesn't disappear. My daughter from the future appears. But a spy that looks and acts exactly like my wife still appears. Further study confirmed that they are exactly the same person. Not only time travel is opened up now, but parallel worlds. Which wife was the one I married? I don't know. Was the other one there all along? I don't know. Either one could be a spy. I ask my daughter for hints. She says she's only aware of time travel, not parallel world travel. So they were from different universes, and she can't tell which is from this universe either. But if I execute the wrong person, I would lose my daughter, I realized... the dream ended with me making that choice.
The third dream is pretty straightforward. Was chatting with Llyralen on Discord, a fun chat. She decided to turn on her VC, and she sounded like a teenager. Then I heard her talking to someone irl. Some kind of chore or errand. My family was also calling me irl to go out with them. We say our goodbyes happily.
All in one weird week. If I remember correctly, it was the week after our midterm exams. Any ideas what they could mean?
