Dream 31, Dec 13, 2021

(Aaaaaaaa motivation has been lost for the days)
Been a while since I wrote a dream down but this one had a small plot that I actually remember. It had two parts, they were connected except one part was more sentient. The first part I won't explain much but it basically ran like a first-person movie. I was some young lady and it was around Christmas. I/she was with a big family and we were decorating the tree and putting gifts under it. The mood was joyful yet there was a suspenseful feeling as if we were waiting for a ticking time bomb to go off. I do not remember much of the first part but deciphering from the second part which I haven't dived into, I'm pretty sure a family member made a deal with a demon that everyone knew except me because that's how movies work with the main characters. After some blurry parts of failed memories, I died from electrocution. Great. So sad. Cue end dream...Not. My "soul" drifted upwards out of the body and went to, I'm guessing, heaven??? A bunch of clouds were everywhere and there was that golden glow, golden gate, thing going on. She stepped onto the clouds and the funny thing is, I fell right through, so now I am not in her "soul" anymore. I'm confused. Where do I go from here? I advance time by a couple of years to the next Christmas and go back to the woman's family. They're a little sad but relieved? Whatever. I look around and spot an old man, he wasn't there before, I look harder and see he's actually transparent and IN him is another family member. The old man waves with a smile, "Good idea, make them forget about it for a couple of years then come back. Now onto step four; convince the gramps we ain't coming back since he's the most paranoid of the bunch." He said some stuff in between but it's blurry. I nod and look at the Christmas tree. I go to use my hands but I don't have any, I look down, I don't have a body either. This is odd and inconvenient. I stare hard at a Christmas light bulb and imagine it moving, the bulb moves exactly how I want it to. It takes a little energy and willpower but I guess that's how I'll move things. I make more bulbs move erratically, the family steps back a little freaked out, whispering about the dead lady and how it could be the ghost of Christmas past yadi-yadi-yada. I'm having fun. I'm some ghost thing haunting a family I don't know! The old man gives me a thumbs up. One man goes to step towards the tree but an older one, the grandpa, puts a hand in front of him and walks to the tree himself. He doesn't look that jolly like the others. I shake the lights more and punt an ornament off the tree. Well, it dropped, I don't know how to throw objects in this "body" yet. He touches the lights and starts asking questions. Like I can answer! Getting bored with the one side conversation, I focused hard on the wiring, and suddenly, I heard a shock, shout, thud. Uh oh. I shocked the grandpa unconscious. The old man gives me a more enthusiastic thumbs up, I just realized his mouth has no teeth and he looks pretty battered overall. Now, with what seems like the knowledge of a thousand years as if I did this a million times, I put three fingers on the grandpa's forehead and closed my eyes. I was in his dream! So, now I'm in a dream inside a dream, like that Rick and Morty episode, nice. "What's the plan boss?" I whip around and see a small group. The one that spoke was this tall lady, her skin was red, she wore no clothes but the naked body wasn't as "detailed", her hands were huge and sharp looking, her eyes were black, no hair, small nose, and tiny pointed teeth with black lips. She was skinny and it looked like her torso was too short and her legs too long. Some other members of the group were: a dark green bog monster (very hairy with moss, no eyes, could just be a mouth with arms and legs, jagged teeth), a short individual (his head was pointed at the top, his jaw connected to the outer regions of his face in a permanent smile, his eyes were small- don't know eye color-, very long neck, wore a coat of some kind, that's all I remember), and some blue looking creature on all floors with bright yellow eyes (don't remember). I looked up at her, "He's going to come here with a party group, you all will talk with the party to keep them occupied. Do not interact with the main. I will talk to him and when it works, they will all leave the room." I put my hand to my chin and look around, "Actually, you - gestures to the red lady- will keep guard in the room in case any funny business goes on." I finish giving orders and watch the group go to their own places inside the room. I cross my arms, sit on a table and wait. (I have a body now! I think it's my own character now). We hear the main doors open and this party swarms in. I quickly find the grandpa and offer him some snacks (honestly, I think it was packaging peanuts) with a wave of my hand. He doesn't seem fazed by the act and sits down on a pool table. We chit chat and he's happy, then he gets even more enlightened and grabs my hand in a sincere thanks. I'm guessing I convinced the grandpa that something wasn't happening anymore? Not sure. I follow him to the door, he's the last to leave the party, he exits with a farewell. I hear cheers from my own group behind me, the dream ends.
