I dreamt.
Part I: Vine Hut
It was a winter night and I was returning back to my home. My home was inside the Fred Meyer outdoor garden section. It was a small hut made of vines. There were several other huts made of vines, other people resided there also. There was an employee there watering all the plants. They gave me a weird look and asked why I was there. Everyone else went south for the winter. I told the employee that I don’t go south because I like the winter time. It’s quiet and peaceful.
Part II: Tulip Bathroom
I was in my grandmother’s pink bathroom cleaning and reorganizing. I was on a step stool decluttering items on the top shelf. There were small hummingbird feeders, small, colorful glass vases, candles, and lots of dust. I decided to remove the hummingbird feeders because I could put them outside. I then grabbed a pair of tall candles with autumn leaf designs. They were still new in the packaging. I threw them down because I could put them elsewhere.
The lead from my work then came into the bathroom and said she needed to use the toilet. I tried to get past her so I could leave and give her privacy but she grabbed me and made me stand in front of her, facing away. I picked up a magazine nearby to distract myself. It was a tulip bulb catalog. There were some pretty cool tulips for sale such as fringed tulips and tulips that looked like peonies. When she was finished, I had to use the toilet next but she would not leave.
Part III: Chuthulu Slug Army
I was watching two vampires come down from a wide staircase into a dimly lit cave. They were talking about how perfect their project was going. Their pets were all the same genetically and were growing so fast. There were a few anomalies, some growing too slow or some having deformities but for the most part, everything was progressing nicely.
I walked further into the cave to see what they were talking about. The cave floor was level and slick; there was an occasional dip or puddle. The cave itself was extremely wide and deep, I could not see any of the walls. I then saw rows upon rows upon rows of chuthulu-like slugs in various stages of growth. They were all crawling and wiggling towards the staircase in synchronized motions. The row closest to me were the most mature of the slugs. They had chuthulu-like heads with muscular arms and webbed fingers. Their bodies were still in a slug-like form but were growing into legs and a tail. As I walked farther into the rows, they became less and less mature until they were just slugs. I looked to see if I could find the end of the rows, but I couldn't. The row of slugs just stretched infinitely into the darkness.
I heard the vampires say that their pets will be mature soon. Once that happens, they can start conquering the world.
I awoke.
