I had a very weird one last night.
I have started drinking mugwort and blue lotus tea before bed. These can give you very vivid and very strange dreams.
Ok, so picture it. Sicily 2024! 😏
My brother had a farm there, and my sister and I are trying to sell a bunch of spinach he grew. The problem is, it has already been cooked so it's that soggy looking mess filled with water and nobody wants it. So there I am digging into this bucket and pulling out handfuls of spinach and squeezing the water out of it. 42 lbs of spinach... why the weight? I dont know but I kept telling people it was 42 lbs of spinach. However, when I would throw the squeezed out spinach into another pail, it turned into dry basil!
Holy crap they'll love the basil here... nope it's not fresh enough. They need to pick it off the plant themselves. So we went back to my brother to tell him the bad news, but what's this?? The Polizia are waiting for us because what we were doing was very suspicious. So me and my sister ran. My brother had packed a couple bags for us and we were gone.
We ran to a very strange hotel where some of the hallways turned into very narrow alleys with houses on both sides. What makes it even weirder, is I remember being at some of these houses. I remember dropping off some of the items in a previous dream.
Back up a few dreams ago! I dreamt was clearing out my apartment and I was dropping off large items like headboards to old beds and such. These same headboards and bed frames were showing up in this dream on the same porches I had dropped them at. So very eerie.
But it doesn't stop there. Fleeing from the Polizia still, I ended up running through this one room, I had been in sometime earlier, but dont remember when, just that I had been there. I went to this large chest where there were a bunch of smaller ones inside. I couldn't open any of them, but there was this jacket inside, and I knew I would find some money in one of the pockets. After taking the money and putting it in my pocket, this woman shows up and we recognize each other. I had made plans with her that I had completely forgotten about. She didn't seem upset, but said she could tell I was very busy. I thought she was gonna turn me in, but she let me go.
I ran down a hallway trying to find my sister when I had to turn into another room to avoid being caught. Inside this room, was a housekeeper doing her job. I was frantic, and she started helping me calm down. I sat on the bed she had just made and she went and got me a drink. Hard alcohol. I swear I felt the burn.
I started telling her what was going on, and she sat down next to me. She started trying to calm.me down, and next thing i know, I'm laying on the bed and she's laying half on top of me. She promises to be gentle and kisses me. I do not return the kiss, but she kisses me again, and then I tell her I have to go. She tells me to call her if I change my mind and I leave. I immediately run into my sister in the hallway and we take off running again.
Out into the street we are running through crowds of people and we can hear whistles being blown behind us. They catching up. We duck into a bar where we feel we are safe.
We sit down at a table near a guy who's playing some kind of game. You turn in the proper items, and he gives you tickets. You then take the tickets and put them into a machine that spins and twirls, and eventually spits out a prize. Top prize are tickets to wherever you want to go. So we start scrounging around looking for this items to turn in. I open my bag that my brother gave me, and it is full of older shoes. WTF Jason?? What am I gonna do with a bag full of your shoes.
The man behind the table sees one of the shoes, and offers to buy them from me. I hand over the entire bag saying if he gives me a desent offer for whatever he wants, I'll sell them all to him. There are two other gentlemen sitting next to this one, and when he offers me $175 for one of the pairs, they shake their heads with a look of disgust on their faces. I dont care, me and my sister need the money so I agree. It angers one of men. I say I know they are worth more, but I dont have the time to haggle with him. The guy is so angry he walks away and stops talking to me.
The initial man doesnt want to buy anymore shoes and while handing me the money, the Polizia show up and start to arrest my sister and I. The man who got upset went and got them. We tried explaining ourselves, but they weren't interested. We were going to jail, unless we could pay the fine. How much?.. $175. So after all that, we were let go and went back to my brothers farm.
We got there and told him we got caught and they only needed money and we were free, and he said. "That's why I gave you those shoes."
I was so angry with that, it woke me up.
Hands down the most bizarre dream I have ever had, and so very very vivid.
Can't wait to see what this mugwort tea cooks up tonight.
