“Garden glitch.”

Flowers, windows, fragments –

a spring explosion in a distorted frame.

Chaos and control, blooming side by side.

The Dance of Sirius A poem for those who dream with their eyes open.

I lay my head down to sleep, Dreams calling from the deep.

Still awake…I see a light— Wisdom shining through the night.

Sirius seeking those who peer, Some only look, but few will hear.

I watch Him dancing in the expanse; Where some see stillness, I see the dance.

They may think me delirious… But I know the Dance of Sirius.

The Dunk of Doom: A Dream of Hoops and Hilarity"

2/21/25 - Thursday

During my 1 hour and 27-minute nap after eating sushi—specifically from 2:37 PM to 4:12 PM—I had one of the weirdest dreams ever.

I found myself in a massive basketball stadium, but this wasn’t just any court. There was a pool right by the hoop, and in front of it, a small trampoline. The objective? Players would run, jump on the trampoline, attempt a dunk, and ideally land in the pool. But things did not go as planned.

I watched as one player after another completely miscalculated their jumps. Some fell short and smacked onto the floor. Others overshot and landed awkwardly in the pool. And then there were the truly unlucky ones—those who missed everything and just crashed onto the ground between the pool and the hoop. Every time it happened, I laughed uncontrollably.

Then came the final contestant—a young Asian man. He sprinted, leaped off the trampoline, but instead of making the dunk or landing in the pool, he launched way past the hoop. He slammed into the wall with a sickening thud and then—somehow—slipped through a human-sized crack between the floor and the wall, disappearing into the lower level of the arena.

The entire stadium gasped in horror. It was as if time stood still. People rushed downstairs, fearing the worst. When they found him, he was alive but struggling to get up, clearly in pain. His ribs were fractured, and he needed help walking.

Just as I was processing the insanity of what I’d witnessed, I woke up to a phone call.

The End.

I think I finally figured out Gen Z... the world has been so insane since they were born they're living using dream logic. Nothing makes sense, how is this real life, fuck it I do what I want

[dreamlogic]

that's because you are, my love 🌚

[nanalineni]

Anyways came here to day I dreamed I and two other people got a cease and desist letter from whom I thought was a Finnish person not speaking English very well that I was planning to meet at random Parisian cafe saying also "hey you rats stop trying to dig on me" who turned out to be a member of nu'est. I don't listen to nu'est. Why did my brain cook that one out and from what

[youzicha]

I was dreaming about a failed test flight for an unmanned space plane, which first had an aerodynamic instability causing it to veer off course, but then there was a bug in the flight control software causing the program to crash, but then there was a bug in the on-board operating system that prevented it from rebooting the flight computer...

People talk about "dream logic" meaning that things do not obey normal rules about cause and effect. But I guess it's also distinctive in that there are more "analogous" connections. A software crash is "like" a flight upset, and if there already was one crash, why not make the same thing happen again with another piece of software? It's like when a language model gets stuck outputting the same sentence over and over again, because if it already said it three times, then the most likely continuation is to keep saying it.

Love for Love's Sake (2024)

Extremely Spoilery Meta about the Finale

A drama that really REALLY worked for me. Just like "A Journey to Love" is my exception to a hate for tragic ending romances, "Love for Love's Sake" is an exception to my burning hatred to unclear endings.

In this case, I think the ambiguity is fine for me because it's not "open" and unsettled. The ending is definite. It's how the viewer personally interprets the ending that is open. And the director/screenwriter earned the multiple interpretations every step of the way. I felt satisfied with my own answer (and the protagonist's peace at demanding no answers), which is all that matters for my enjoyment.

The whole drama is set up to reward a rewatch and it's intended to be enjoyed more the 2nd time around. There are subtle clues from the start that the protagonist has died & it's an AU "adaption" of his own backstory that he's been dropped into. (for example, not just the mirrored history he has with Cha Yeowoon, but also multiple settings we see from the flashes of his Real Life show up in the Game World. The world is being populated with places from his repressed memory. omggggg guys when the game is 'glitching' and he appears damp [SCREAMS] )

"He suffers so much from beginning to end. ..The perfect happy ending you're talking about might just be an inescapable tragedy for others."

"It can't be helped that some people's lives are like that."

This could be referring to Cha Yeowoon, from the storyline The Senior has introduced. But more I think it's directly referencing Tae Myungha and the tragedy of his short life. Even with altered memories of a truth he isn't ready to face, he feels an injustice. In the liminal space between life and death, with a blurred recollection of what came to pass, he faces the author.

The whole opening has an unreality feel as they discuss death and how some people get left behind from others' happy endings. How dark and unfocused the background is just emphasizes that this conversation is occurring in no place & time.

Then he drops into The Game, unsettled and unmoored.

The sense of urgency they give the character is interesting. It plays 2 ways. The drive to save your favorite character from his doomed narrative. And the secret, hidden drive behind the wall holding back his memories. That last second desire not to be extinguished.

So what do I ultimately think is the meaning of what Tae Myungha experienced and of the ending? 🤔 I think there's no 1 truth. The drama's narrative is intentionally ambiguous. And so I don't want to tell anyone what their interpretation should be.

But what I ended up believing is that this is Tae Myungha's journey to make peace with his regrets, forgive himself, and find love & happiness like he failed to do in his life. He is given an opportunity to seize these things (by death, by buddha, by some god-like author idk) but he has to go through a journey to solidify his place in this next life. An afterlife of sorts - call it The Good Place. ;) Many different theologies have the concept of a mid-place waiting area and it's not guaranteed that you will cross over to what comes next.

"Please carry out the missions and build the world."

Cha Yeowoon starts out as his mirror but Cha Yeowoon isn't a version of Tae Myungha. I might say he's the RPF AU version of Tae Myungha lmao. [my meta on this topic here] Once the world begins to take shape, the core people our protagonist interacts with become real and gain autonomy. Tae Myungha's actions could stabilize & help build out this new world he's entered. But he couldn't make Cha Yeowoon act as he wished or be happy exactly when & how Tae Myungha wanted & expected it. Myungha can't predict him.

What does it mean to be 'real'? If the core people who are built out in this world develop their own feelings and thoughts, can hurt & care, then they're real enough to love and be loved back. Cha Yeowoon picked up the pen himself at the end and decided not to accept Tae Myungha's erasure. Ultimately, they were both able to wield the pen. It was by both of them joining hands that Tae Myungha got to stay.

In the end he is in a warm & bright room, almost hazy with light. His grandmother is there with him, looking healthy & happy. His friends and the boy he loves are waiting for him. They're going to the beach, young and careless. It looks like an endless summer day. The game is over, a reward offered: the happy ending.

Episode 1: "So is this reality or not?"

"This place is better than the real world. Should I just stay here?"

Finale: "In the daily life that is too ordinary to be called destiny but too beautiful to be called a coincidence, I finally realized I have all the answers I want. Our days are filled with unquestionable happiness."

another weird apocalypse dream. i was standing on a bulkhead, looking out at the ocean. endless dreams where i walk along the water's edge and this time i was just waiting, just looking at it.

this thing came from the ocean. it was ethereal. its totality was only understandable by the small round pieces of colorful plastic trapped in its transparent, sentient film.

everything it touched died.

(because "everythingitouchdies"???)

it took over the whole coastline. and i was slowly scaling the cliffs to get further away from it. but i watched the entire landscape slowly wither until it was grey and sunbleached as if it had been dead for years.

it was a dream about nothing, a sentient blob that came from the sea and killed everything in sight and slowly made the grey lands disappear into the white mists that followed it.

was that her? the deeper dream?

sometimes how you feel in the dream will reveal to you what it's supposed to mean. how did i know it was the apocalypse? i felt it. it felt that way.

there is this boy my friend was briefly obsessed with in the new york days. we keep in touch because he really likes my boyfriend. (happens. people who only talk to me to get closer to my cool boyfriend. i get it.) but it was him who mentioned that i always seem to shy from the water itself, from whatever is in the water. of course the most profound observation would come from someone who is basically a stranger.

there i was, again, scaling cliffs to get away from the deeper dream instead of letting it cover me in its clear sentient jelly-like life-draining film.

i am such a fucking coward, gang.

[thetangibleghost]

nightmare where I'm covered in ticks. they just keep getting bigger, new ones appear before I get the old ones. Trying to stop the ones crawling on me before they bite me leads me to be rushed and leaving the head in of others.

the most interesting one had yellow legs and a colorful body.

there was a fold of skin by my ankle with a bunch.
