Dream 14, April 30th, 2021

I was stuck on an island by myself. I had zero ideas of what I was doing. I knew how I got there, I fell off a boat and washed up there. I stayed on the beach for a few minutes, looking at the forest, a dangerous forest. I walk in. It's quiet, no animals yet I know there are enemies littered throughout the island- bad ones. I'm being watched, I keep looking back behind myself because of this to see nothing there. There are things engraved into the trees, I trace them with my finger sometimes as I wander. I have figured out that there are three types of forest on this island: normal, one with thick tree trunks and all dark, and a jungle-type one. Curious, I went into the dark forest, my chest felt instant pressure upon doing this, fear. I kept on going though, like a joyful walk in the park. Until it turned nighttime. A big blood red moon came out, the tops of the trees that blocked the sky opened up, welcoming the blood moon. I started to hear whispers and screeches as creatures started to awake. I wished I was in the jungle area instead but something told me that that was much worst. Quickly with a newfound fear of the blood moon, I hide in some bushes, expecting to see someone there with me to help. No one was there. I poke my head out from the top of the bushes and freeze, there is a figure there. He is skinny, gaunt, short, wearing some worn raggedy black tunic (explorer gear?), has black short disheveled hair, hands sprawled out mimicking claws, pointed ears, and finally- slanted red eyes. Reminds me of Dark Link (meaning the red moon could have been from the game too). This at the time though, with my half of a brain dinging around, saw this Link look alike as Chad (figure drenched in black with red eyes. The eyes were the same shape however as Chad's so it could have very well been my brain trying to make "chad" with "Link" since I never made him in). sims). So, being reminded of Chad, I actually stayed there, staring back. He holds out a hand, tilting his head. Slowly, I walk out of the bushes, curious. He stays the same. I pick up a rock and put it in his hand. He frowns, obviously expecting me to take his hand or something. He tilts his hand enough for the rock to fall down- another chance as he once again stands there with his hand held out. Now, I walk a little closer. I hold out MY hand just like him, inches away from his own, grinning. I was NOT expecting him to reach forward and grab it though, now we're holding hands looking at each other. He's looking at me with some expectation. I shake it once, with exaggeration, grinning again. He's not impressed. Now, I felt something charging at us with high speeds, I try to yank my hand from his grasp not liking the threatening feeling. He chuckles and starts RUNNING towards the creature charging us, DRAGGING me along with him. I start karate chopping "chad" to let me go and, well, it didn't work. The creature is in view and this guy just yeets me forward at it, letting go of my hand. I land right on top of its big wolf-like head, it starts trying to bite me so I crawl onto its back. Chad is standing there cheering me on, great. I hang on for dear life as the wolf creature runs off, Chad is running alongside it, he pushes me off the creature, the creature keeps running off- gone now. I stand up and look at Chad, he stares at me, then points up at the moon. I look up at the moon, feeling some sort of urgency. Looking back down, Chad was gone. I look around wondering where he went, I turned around, Chad was behind me, the second I turned around he went right back behind me. Thinking this is funny, I turn around again to catch him. What a mistake that was. His face got darker with his eyes glowing brighter, I'm stuck staring into the eyes now. He moves backwards, I follow. Oops, I've been hypnotized! Having the absolute time of my life staring into the red eyes and following, we're in the jungle part now. It's morning now too. We go into an entrance to some underground cave, he breaks the eye contact to glance at the cave. You'd think I would run but no, I was too busy staring at some contraption in the jungle trees that were holding burnt dead bodies upside down (movie Predator?). Actually went up to the tree with a carving of the plans for the contraption. Just examining it ya know. I felt a shoulder tap, looked behind me at chad, he waved his hands to the cave entrance as if saying: after you. Not hypnotized, by the way, I still freaking go towards the cave entrance with Chad behind me. Walking in, it's dark and I can't see. So casually, I just snap my fingers to light it up acting like I'm on a damn field. There are cave paintings, no idea what they were but a voice in my head told me they were from an old tribe, nice. This Chad guy is extremely patient because I stopped at every painting to examine it. Going further down, I stop and sit on the cold hard ground, pulling out a LUNCH BAG. I share my peanut butter sandwiches and eat with Chad. Nice silence. Standing back up, we get to some chamber door with a puzzle. A voice in my head just tells me to put my hand on it, I do. It opens. Chad and I fist bump, he a friend now. We walk in there and the damn dream ends! Ugh, what treasures lied there will never be known now.
