Interesting dream

Have any of you had a dream that was SO linear and SO strangely understandable that you could write an entire novel about the dream’s plot and without having to change the overall plot of it much? Just adding some more details?

I had one a few years ago, where some kid found the elixir of life, and it worked similar to the fountain of youth from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, where one lived and one died. 

(Do note that in this point of the dream that it took place in what looked like the Renaissance era, and the kids look like they belong to a wealthy family).

But instead, it was by family. One person from that family dies and the rest would live forever or something. And the one who died would come up with cyanide poisoning because the magicness would translate to be the same makeup of cyanide, even though it isn't cyanide, if it was observed through a microscope or something. 

(Or it could have been that the brother had legitimately poisoned the sister’s cup with cyanide and i just don't remember the specifics). 

So, in the middle of the night, the little boy goes to his younger sister, and tells her that one of them will live. Somehow this boy knows which one will kill them, and he tells his sister that the one he has is the one that kills them. 

(Ok, now that i think about it, I remember that he explained that one of them will die because he HAS poisoned one of the cups with cyanide, and if he mistakes which cup for the other, the sister wont think that he tried to poison and kill her.)

But he is lying and ends up killing the sister. Why? She wants to tell the whole world about it and he wants to hoard it for himself and the family, so he decides to get rid of her. 

(Do keep in mind that they are CHILDREN when this is happening).

So, the sister dies, and he goes off running to tell his parents that she has, “mysteriously” died, or became ill, or something. His parents find her dead in the canopy in the middle of their garden. 

Then changes to me, in present time, being the point of view, and i am some sort of detective, trying to figure out how the girl died. The police case had died, due to no one being caught, or even any clues on HOW she died, most likely due to the lack of technology at the time, and somehow the case got reopened.

So, it turns out that i figure out that the son/brother was the one who killed her, and something along the lines actually made it count to murder, not just due to the fact that it was magical. 

I discover that the elixir of life, allows the person who took it, or at least the first one, or if the person was a child, allows the drinker to grow to young adult, and then stop aging. They can die from any outside sources, but they cant die from age. 

So, i never actually saw his face in the dream, even when i looked at it, it was a blur, but from what i could see, he is definitely the one who inspired my visuals for my OC known as Caesar! Although Caesar is definitely not a human being who took the elixir of life.

So... 

If you have had a dream like this, where nothing was random and absolutely bonkers strange, i would like to hear them! 

I might end up turning this into a book sometime in the future, i just need to figure out why the rest of the family didn't question why everyone around them continued to age and not them... without making them completely cut off from the rest of the world. (They aren't the Bakers from Resident Evil 7). 

The son/brother can only shush them away from the windows for so long before they get suspicious. 

do yall ever have your dreams randomly continue?

And by that, i mean having a dream and then 2 yrs later on a random night you get a part 2. I dunno if it’s common or not but I had this dream once and im on part 8 or smthng. And the weirdest thing is my dream self remembers those previous parts of this dream series i seem to be having. Its a shame the episodes release randomly without a proper schedule and its a gamble if it’ll continue or not.

So heres the deal:

The dream starts with me and some people who are my familiars (who keep changing in every dream) usually playing in my friend’s backyard (im going to refer to backyard as ‘by’ now). And then theres this really long series of by of different people whose houses, or well quarters as we call them here, are constructed side by side so the bys too, are joint and the only boundary that marks it as a resident’s territory is a line of bricks which one can easily jump over.

here’s a pictorial representation of the whole structure bc i sucked at describing this:

anyways, back to the topic.

so as i was saying, at the end of the last by, (which i marked as ‘the place’ in my attempt at a map) theres a tiger, which i was unaware of when i had the dream for the first time. Every time, with different people, i’d go check on the end by to see if its still there bc it never approaches first. And as soon as i cross the boundary to enter the last by, i’d hear/see/sense its still there and sprint back to where i come from. By the time i reach the starting point i wake up.

now remember how i stated I remember my previous dreams in the same series? I somehow realise im dreaming each time and my usual thought process is, “shit, theres a tiger and idk if its gonna come at us or i’ll have to check once before it chases after me even tho its always the latter but i gotta protect these people here altho ik im dreaming.” And then i STILL DASH TO FIND OUT IF THIS TIME ITS DIFFERENT OR NOT KNOWING THE OUTCOME LIKE DIDE WTF IS WRING WITH YOU—

ahem, apologies

i tried googling if theres some deep behind these weird dreams but, well, i got nothing.

And i just felt, hey i havent used tumblr in a hot while and i’ve got this horrendous idea at a post but i said fuck it and went on with it anyway.
