I had a dream where I woke up in a weird liminal place. It had a ferris wheel and one of the egyptian pyramids. There were three or four other people there also, and we had to prepare to fight something massive, cosmically horrible and infinitely stronger. Over the course of this we learned that the world had already ended, and that's why the place we were in looked like it did. We did end up fighting it, but we lost. All dead or worse. I remember looking up as I was dying, knowing that even though we tried, we tried as hard as we could, gave it our all, we barely landed a scratch on the thing. We were nothing, and already as dead as the rest of our world.

Some apocalypses are of the Extinction, but some are still of the End. This is the latter; and the Vast as well.

If dreams are still welcome, then here is one of my own.

I had been conscripted into an army, of sorts, and ordered to walk in circles on a hilltop. I had only an umbrella as my weapon, and only a paintball-gun-toting sniper for company. We sat on that hilltop as a war raged in below us, some kind of fight between our army and an army of dogs. Our army had umbrellas, and paintball guns, and cardboard armor. The dogs were massive, like huskies crossed with German shepherds and Saint Bernards. The dogs quickly won the fight, and we could hear the screams of our fellow soldiers, but our orders kept us on the hilltop. I woke up when the dogs were rushing our position, and the paintball sniper had been overtaken.

A typically dreamlike representation of the War.

Hii!!

When i was a kid I had this reoccurring dream of being in front of my house, playing in a sand hill and then an old man came up to me and asked "could you please find me a butterfly? It's been so long since I last saw one". After that I spent some time trying to catch a butterfly, and when I finally got it he showed up again, smiled, said "thank you" and sliced my throat open. The last thing I saw was the blood on the sand hill.

After the first time I had this dream I kept having the impression of seeing the old man in our neighborhood, but he only approached in dreams

Could be the Slaughter, but it’s a very clean kill for it; I’d say the End. The butterfly seems symbolically heavy… dying just as you’ve achieved your goal has a particular sting to it.

The Web

Why do people always act surprised when you say you have live spiders in your pocket, and they ask if you really have spiders in your pocket, and you tell them you do and you pull out several vials containing live spiders

The Lonely

Literally what did olivia laing say about loneliness leading to more loneliness. Loneliness being so repulsive that people sense it from you and stay away. Crazy crazy

I have unwittingly witnessed a new level of the absurd. Behold, the AI-generated equine anatomy models.

Ah yes, my favourite parts of the equine body. Paster and... *looks at the smudged writing on hand* boob. At least this one looks purely decorative and the being actually looks like a horse. But don't worry, it gets worse.

If we completely ignore the hipopotamus musculature of this one, there's still a lot of things that don't make sense in this one, like a tail that ends in a series of bone spikes and a complete lack of molars. You could make a cool pokemon on the basis of this, but it's not even in the realm of being an actual anatomy help.

I'm firmly convinced this is not a horse, this is something that really, really wants you to think it is a horse. The more you look, the more things look... wrong. The more details turn out to be shifted, bones crammed in to fill in the familiar form, its shape merely implied so that the human mind fills the gap. Of course the text seems like gibberish, because its anatomy is incomprehensible. it's either a parasite or a monster and in each case, it's an eldtrich body horror. I'm kind of angry at how well this joke writes itself.

What do you think of this dream creature. I used to dream about shadow creatures a lot. They're these very tall, vaguely human-shaped blobs of pitch black shadow, with piercing white eyes, and an aura of fear that causes the air to grow slightly staticky when they're nearby. They usually lurk in dark or dimly lit places with nobody around and wait for people to stumble upon them, and can possess people, though sometimes they don't attack and just watch. Victims of the shadow creatures who've been possessed look like shadowy silhouettes of themselves with glowing eyes, though they can appear normal but with something off about them. I used to dream about these creatures all the time, sometimes the dream wouldn't even be about them and they'd just be encountered by accident, but now it's very rare and only when I'm notably stressed out irl.

The very first dream in which I encountered this creature was notably memorable -it took place inside a school that had been twisted into a labyrinth of twisting, not-well-lit halls scattered around, with the entrance hallway being a very long, dark hallway with light at the end, and at the end of the dream, I went into a room that had the lights off not realizing the increasingly weird atmosphere was coming from a creature hiding in there, and the person who was with me got possessed and then they jumpscared me (which woke me up). They have appeared in other dreams with the power to turn into a shadow creature voluntarily, and I've since been inspired to use this character in my creative writing.

When I was in school I had regular dreams where 10-50% of the student body wasn't there and the halls were covered in blood, smeared over the walls and puddled on the floor. I made the connection it was the missing kids blood but nobody ever mentioned it, and everyone talked like they'd be back the next day

(one variant had 75% of the students missing and the trains kept driving by to the slaughterhouse right next door and we all realized they were being butchered but that's solid Flesh)

This does seem of the Flesh, though there’s a possibility of implied Slaugher.
