Beginning of Dream Journal:

My dreams are often long and extremely complicated for some fuckin’ reason, so I’m just gonna start writing them. These are all real, and sometimes my body will react to them depending on the stuff that happens to me. I have experienced tastes, sounds, and actual physical pain or contact with my body in these dreams and have even woken up still hearing these sounds. It’s weird, but I hope they make good stories.

Monday, August 22nd, 2022 // Woke up at 2:40am

During the second trip, one of my friends kept asking if someone wanted to watch a movie with them. They asked at least five times before I said yes (I was doing something beforehand, probably writing.) We go into a different room where there’s less volume and they find the movie they want to watch, which is a late 70’s animated film about this orange little cat that I'm gonna call “Meowmy”.

They're like, “This movie is so good, it made me cry.” And I'm interested because I also enjoy media that makes me cry. So, we start the movie and my vision shifts from staring at the screen to nothing but the screen (Picture you were turning a youtube video to fullscreen.) Meowmy is making their way down a dirt path in a softly lit grove, swaying their tail to the non-diegetic music like a normal cartoon would. After a bit they look at a small hole in the ground near a tree, gazing into it to only see nothing. They’re leaning pretty far which makes the leaf that touches their head the thing to push them down (cartoony stuff). There’s a sequence where they fall but conveniently land in a small bushel of leaves at the bottom, completely unscathed. Meowmy begins to scan their surroundings, and finds a shiny, silver door that’s to the right of them. As a curious cat, they manage to open the door and see what’s inside.

The vision shifts from being a third person view to first person and the height is that of an average woman (5 '5, so I guess I became myself?) Inside the room is a tall figure with black and white clown facepaint who extends his hand as soon as I step into the room. They say something like, “Come, my child. Join a world of mischief and madness.” and since the door behind me is now gone, I’m forced to join him.

The next room is weird. It has a pillar in the middle with a single woman in clown makeup standing in the far right corner of the room, but as I start to walk she moves. I stop, she stops. I walk again, and she walks too. It’s only then I notice her sharpened nails, and for some reason I felt compelled to crouch walk which doesn’t alert her to my presence, so I figure that's her counter. After what feels like a tutorial level with her, the next room is filled with two more copies of her (Two on the left wall, one on the right which is base claw-woman. We’ll call her “Clawdeen”.) There’s two more levels with Clawdeen and her copies before I reach a save-point.

There were some refreshments and someone that I think was another player in this weird game, and chatted him up. Their name was something “-izzy/izzie” I can’t remember what it was but they were sucked into the game as well and wanted to go home. We were there for about fifteen minutes, talking about how we didnt know how we got there and how fucking weird it was that we were here. They mentioned something about Meowmy, and as soon as I started to ask about them we were told to leave the save-room; wished each other good luck and headed on our way.

The next room was much different. I started off crouch walking again and peeked my head around one of the various boxes around the room. Pacing back and forth was a man (with clown paint as well) with a scalpel at the ready. He could see and hear, which was a step up from Clawdeen by a significant margin (We’re gonna call him CD for Clown Doctor.) I manage to make it halfway before he sees me, runs up and prepares to lunge at me with an audio cue of “This is gonna be fun” playing as he does so. When he catches you with the charged attack, you have the ability to hold him off by catching his wrists and winning a struggle but I got a verbal warning as I managed to avoid his gaze again, “Your strength will weaken if I do that a couple of times. Then, you’re mine.” So, I figured I had three chances in total.

I deal with him once, then arrive at the next save room to see Izzie standing there with a coffee in their hand and a smile on their face. We talked some more and they mentioned how fucking creepy the CD was and how they nearly lost the struggle twice. They were thin, so I figured that the struggle may have been hard for them and we worked on dealing with the attacks in case they were spotted again. After a moment of calm, we head on our way.

The view shifts back to third person and we see Meowmy on the surface walking again but much more cautious. Their tail still sways to the upbeat music, but they’re scanning left and right to watch for any more holes, only to step into another. Meowmy tries to climb but they’re stuck, meowing for help which grabs the attention of a local woodsman who reaches for them only to watch in horror as they lose their grip and fall back down. They bounce off of these rubbery trees and land at the bottom of the hole again, but this time there's a golden door. Inside that golden door is a room that’s styled to be an attraction at a carnival, with a cardboard cutout of the tall figure motioning towards the entrance and a prompt appearing that says:

Pay for the ride / Don’t pay for the ride

I didn’t pay and went to the left room where the environment shifted to a yellow lit room with several voices overlapping. I take a peak and there’s two Clawdeens, one Doctor Clown, and a new figure that I hadn’t dealt with. They turn around and their mouth and eyes are filled with something that looks like silly string or the tied rainbow cloth that clowns pull out of their pockets. Their clothes were casual, completely different from every enemy I’ve seen up until this point, and after a bit of thinking and hearing their voice as they mumble something it clicks; That’s Izzy/Izzie. They were caught by the doctor and completely stuffed with the string/cloth. There’s faint crying sounds from her, and they’re trembling as they shamble around, whispering something about laughing and how much fun they’re having. The room is difficult to get through, and after two instances of fighting off CD I make a break for the door to the next room and make it to the next save-room. A small leaderboard pops up next to me, telling me that I could have avoided this encounter by paying for the ride but rewarding me with an item to stun CD before he could do his lunge attack.

Then I woke up. I have not gone back to sleep since.
