2026

OKAY I actually partially remembered my dream when trying to sleep! It wasn't in my house, it was outside, and I was going down into a hole that had a manhole cover over it (not a sewer system below). Frisk (Undertale) was the one guiding me. The initial opening to the entrance (which was apparently to the Underground) was a bit narrow, but it opened up a bit after, so it wasn't terrible. There were metal pipes and poles mounted all around the inside that let me climb down easily. I forget what happened when I got to the bottom, though.

There was another dream I had where there was this person (I think a gem from Steven Universe, though not an official one) had these two rings that were able to make a trap of some kind. Each ring made one, so they ended up trapping two people I knew. One I didn't really care about, but the other I did, so I started to try to break whatever kind of forcefield it made around them. The problem was, there was only one weakpoint that would spin around, and if I didn't hit it non-stop, it would repair itself (there was a little health bar above it).
At one point what the trap was ended up shifting a bit, and I was hacking away at what was not basically a CRT TV with a screwdriver. I thought about the effects of breathing in leaded glass dust for a moment before just continuing anyway. I ended up breaking through the glass, as well as a layer of plastic, and there was something at the bottom of the empty space inside the "TV" that I wanted? Apparently this was practice for something I was going to do in the future.
