This is the story of the dream I had on Tuesday after waking up realising the wifi was down and going back to sleep. there are a couple of events that happened in my dream that I don't really remember the order of but I can see logically where they'd go in the story chronologically so I'll just tell the story the way I think it goes.

I found myself either standing or sitting beside three other people. a beautiful girl about as tall as me or perhaps taller. she wore clothes that made me think of goths as I felt she'd look good in either black or purple it's hard to remember which colour she was actually wearing... or perhaps her lipstick was purple. the other two were guys I didn't pay much attention to how they looked.

Sitting across from us were these really old guys on a bog leather couch. they were throwing little rubber balls at us and awarding or deducting points based on our response to the balls being thrown the people who were dodging were getting one or two points each time. the people who were picking the balls back up and throwing them back were getting three or four points each time. I who was trying to catch and throw the balls back was consistently either being awarded or deducted six points at a time.

I think at some point during the game I got distracted and started talking to this cute girl, a bit shorter than me wearing cutesy clothes like a skirt with pants underneath and a hoodie. I don't know for how long I talked to her but she seemed to be interested in me and I like any reasonable man, completely ignored these signs lest I be thinking too highly of myself and she's just being nice or friendly. so for the conversation, I kept a bit of distance between us and she left to do something else for a while I don't exactly remember what.

at some point, during the game, one of the old guys got frustrated and threw a wine glass at us. the guy who it was thrown at began freaking out and everyone else around us began trying to shield themselves from the broken pieces of glass that were now being thrown at them. I however simply sat on the couch behind me and lifted a small stool between my knees and used the seat of it as a makeshift shield and sat as calmly as possible... I was probably thinking it was a part of the game. I had no idea how to play all I knew was I was making the most points even if I was also losing the most points. either way one of the old guys got up and the game concluded with him trying to hit me with the empty wine bottle and me continuously trying to block it with the stool.

after the game, I and the three people I was playing with were sitting at a table ordering food. the three sat across from me and I was alone on my side of the table. the seat was one of those long bench type things with nowhere to rest your back so sitting up was optional because there was nothing to lean your back against. at some point, while I was waiting for my food I felt my two front teeth grow. I felt them expand in my mouth and it was getting annoying. it started as a minor inconvenience and by the end of it, I was so annoyed I pulled my own teeth out. I left the two front teeth that now appeared to be four times the size of my other teeth as opposed to twice as big like they usually are. on the table with my teeth was also a small pile of blood and flesh I presume also came from my mouth.

when the food arrived and I started eating the beautiful lady who was sitting in between the two forgettable guys asked a very strange question. "do you want to marry this guy?" she said gesturing to her right. so I perceived her to gesture to the left. I didn't even look at him. "I'm straight" was my response.

the group began debating amongst themselves as I shot them a look that felt like it asked "do you need help finding your missing chromosomes?" and as if to answer that question she responded with. "that's ok he likes girls too." I felt the intense urge to facepalm but I resisted and instead leaned back in my chair which ended up with my head dangling upside down behind the seat.

the cute girl I saw earlier walked up behind me and treated me warmly I responded in kind. to the shock of everyone at the table, myself included, she kissed me on the lips. in an instant, my calm cool persona shattered and I immediately opened up to her. I don't know why but I felt the need to brag about the missing teeth and other bodily fluids and things left on the pile of viscera my teeth were occupying. I could feel the shit-eating grin on my face and the stares of the three who just got so readily and irrevocably rejected in a way even they couldn't misconstrue. I ended up asking if she wanted my number and she said yes.

we talked for a while longer and when she was about to leave I remembered how my phone doesn't like receiving calls but lets me make them so I asked her to text me so I could save her number onto my phone as well. I think that's where the dream ended but I think I also explained to the group of three at some point that I had only met the cute girl that same day. I felt like they wanted to object but realised that they too had only just met me for the first time that day. all in all pretty wholesome. been a while since I got to feel what it feels like under a tooth.
