The Weird Cabin Dream

Score: 6/10

Date: 05/10/2024

Disclaimer: This dream has very little logic, a lot of parts make no sense, and it only works in the dream world.

I went to a cabin in the woods (though it was more like a big house in the middle of nowhere; in Portuguese, I’d call it a "sítio", but I’m not sure what the best word in English would be) with a group of people. I say "a group of people" because, throughout the dream, who they were kept changing. It felt like they were multiple people at the same time.

I went to the cabin with my ex and her family, but I don't remember much of what happened. Fast forward to the end of the day: we were about to go to sleep, and her family suddenly turned into two of her friends, and then into random, unknown people. We were trying to decide where we would sleep. There were only two bedrooms, so "we" decided that one of the rooms would go to a couple (two of my real-life friends), while the rest of us would share a very large bed in the other room.

So, there I was, lying in bed with people I didn’t know, feeling very uncomfortable but pretending not to be. The order in the bed, from left to right, was: a woman, a little girl (about 8 years old, who I believe was their daughter), a man, and me. There may have been one more person on the far left, but I’m not sure.

This part of the dream was just me trying to fall asleep. At this point, I woke up a couple of times in real life and then fell back asleep, so dream and reality began to blur. In the dream, I was getting frustrated as I struggled to fall asleep, just like I do in real life. Eventually, I gave up. I think I got my laptop and started using it but was worried about the lights and sounds bothering the others. After a while, I noticed the man beside me was also struggling to fall asleep.

Then three events happened, but I’m not sure when or how:

• A man (one of my ex’s friends) entered the room. One of the people I was sleeping with handed me a plate they had used and asked me to bring it to the kitchen. I didn’t want to and asked if I could just leave it on the bedside table. They agreed, but then they gave me something else. Again, I didn’t want to bring it to the kitchen, so I asked if I could leave it on the dresser. I got out of bed and put the object on the dresser, but they started getting mad, saying it would fall. Confused and annoyed, I decided to just take it to the kitchen after all. When I walked through the door, I was suddenly on a beach. It was gray and lifeless, almost like the beach in Death Stranding, though a bit better. It didn’t really bother me. I started running toward somewhere unknown while people cheered me on. The next thing I remember, I was back in the bedroom, lying on the bed.
• I somehow discovered that the man beside me was blind. There was also a blind woman outside the bedroom; they were married. She entered the room and stood by the bed. The man immediately knew she was there and that she was his wife. They exchanged a few words, and I remember feeling happy for them. The woman then left. I was impressed by how they both could recognize each other and function so well despite being blind. I wanted to tell the man how impressed I was, but I decided against it.
• I was in a car with my ex and her family, heading to the cabin. We saw luxury sports cars speeding down the road, led by a very muscular woman who looked exactly like LeanBeefPatty. I remember hearing on the news that these people were fleeing or had stolen the cars or something like that.

I don’t remember what exactly happened next—maybe I had a disagreement with the man, or someone else did—but I decided to leave the house. At this point, the group of people had turned into a mix of my own relatives and strangers. As I was leaving, someone got shot. I rushed back inside, only to discover that my uncle had been shot and killed. Strangely, we didn’t take it too seriously. I saw my ex and started kissing her face, but as I did, she slowly turned into a man who resembled her.

I noticed a revolver at his waist and grabbed it, yelling, "It was him!". The man reacted by grabbing the gun with his finger on the trigger. We started struggling, and a few shots were fired. I kept trying to push the gun away so it wouldn’t be aimed at me or anyone else. Eventually, I hit the man’s knee and heard the sound of bones breaking. The others joined in, and together we beat him up.

Instead of calling the police, we decided to burn the entire place down with him inside . But instead of using fire, we poured lava all over the ground, creating a river of lava that covered everything. My father and I hurried to leave, but I was worried about my stuff. I went back to the bedroom to grab my slightly burned belongings (my laptop, charger, and backpack), and while I was there, I found someone’s phone. I grabbed it and left.

In the car, I asked my dad if he knew whose phone it was. He told me it belonged to someone in the family. When I unlocked the phone, I saw an Imgur page with a screenshot of a conversation where the owner had planned my uncle’s murder. There was also a WhatsApp conversation with a video of the murder and them celebrating. I told my dad what I’d found, and for some reason, he was weirdly happy, as if he had known all along. Felt very odd and off character. He dropped me off at my house, where I was greeted by my grandma and my cousin (my uncle’s daughter). My cousin greeted me as she usually does but then suddenly became sad, saying her father had died. I had completely forgotten about it. I offered my condolences, and I think I woke up at this point. There might have been more to the dream, but I don’t remember.

Review

It was a meh dream because everything was so illogical and out of order. It was hard to remember and describe. Also, I slept poorly so there is that. There were some uncomfortable parts too. 6/10.
