HELP
I'm curious let's go
Okay but I gotta put this in text because it’ll be too long for my normal tags bullshit
Every time. Every fucking time. This happens in 80% of my dreams and it’s just. HOUGE and I’m so happy it does
In my dream, it’s a place called Duluth. Now I’ve been to actual Duluth. This is not actually Duluth
Dream Duluth has a giant bridge that’s so big that it scares me to drive across. The bridge is so big and the route right into the city has a little section where people will check your passport or vehicle or IDs or something? I’m not sure why. The bridge gives me so much anxiety, and there’s another highway around one of the skyscrapers in that city that also gives me anxiety. For some reason, I think I work in that building. There’s even a dream inside
The city itself is beautiful. Sunny. There’s a big statue by the lake it’s built on, just like the real Duluth. There’s monuments that look like mirrors, even one that looks like the WWII monument in Washington DC. Or is it a Vietnam or Korea monument? Idk. There are hills in the city. It’s not too warm. Much like the real Duluth as well, there’s a restaurant along one of the boardwalks and piers. Unlike it, though, it’s built out onto the water. You can look into the lake from the restaurant and see the guitarfish and sawfish in the water
The beaches are something I always think about. One beach is covered in dark sand. Shark teeth always wash up there. Shark teeth and fish bones. Sometimes it’s small, nestled between that restaurant and a boardwalk. Other times, the beach is longer and pale. Sand tiger sharks and white sturgeon wash up on the shore. There are shovelnose sturgeon in the water. I try and save whatever I can, but sometimes they’re too big for me to carry on my own. Sometimes, when I wade into the water, I get close enough to touch them, but I always stop myself because I’m afraid I’ll bother the animals
There’s another beach as well, one where people always go. Umbrellas and kids and chairs. In the tideline, you can find trinkets and toys that were left a long time ago. They’re not new, rather old and rusted, but sometimes I find interesting keys and metal baubles and gemstones in the sand. I keep them for myself
There’s a white building with a blue haze inside. I don’t know why. It’s homely, but I don’t want to go inside. There was a bloody handprint on the doorframe once. I don’t know why. I think I relaxed after that
There’s a city skyscraper made completely out of glass on the outside. The ground around the statue is made of concrete. I don’t know who that statue is of, but it’s someone important. The statue is bronze
There’s a red brick church in the city. It’s old, and there’s a mosaic courtyard. In the courtyard, there’s a gazebo made of brick. Inside that gazebo is a bell, and the ceiling is made of mosaic tiles that look like an ornate sky. Inside the church there are suits of armour, and the cathedral is impossibly large compared to the outside. The windows are tall, and the light that flits in is always white
I like when my dreams reuse locations from past dreams. like oh cool we doin a bottle episode
Viewed from above, the head of a white sturgeon looks like that of a giraffe or a mythical dragon. This species of sturgeon is North America's largest freshwater fish.

In case any of you here also use X/Twitter.
- The work truck that had a toy truck of the same kind strapped on its bed
- My work. I never would’ve gotten a job like this if I stayed in my old state
- The kind woman that greeted me every morning when I got my breakfast. I think she’s working somewhere else now, I hope she’s doing great
- The woman today who lingered as I scanned her and her kids’ tickets and they ran into the aquarium. She paused and asked me how I was doing. She told me “I have a message from my father in heaven. He loves you.” She told me to continue having a blessed day
- The woman in a wheelchair jamming out to a rave behind me
- Related to above, the toddlers on their parents’ shoulders also jamming out to said rave
- The police officer (ACAB) holding an assault rifle admiring the stingrays
- The two mall cops who stared at the stingrays while the rest of them tried to investigate the source of the smoke coming from the bathrooms
- The man at the pizza joint who saw me dancing to his boombox
- The same man who mimicked the poster next to him from an old movie by picking up that boombox and lifting it over his head
So I moved from my childhood state a few years ago and I’ve been struggling with adjusting ever since, largely because of the drastic negative change in my social life. But life is beautiful, so I wanted to make a list of things I’ve seen since moving here that I couldn’t get back home! You have to appreciate the little things in life. I’m gonna periodically add more as I see them
- “The Oven Bus” which is just a bus with a brick chimney in it. I wanna know what’s going on in there so badly
- All of the sunsets here are beautiful without fail. Don’t matter what time they happen, even if it’s at 4, it’s beautiful. There’s so many colours in them
- The sign I drive past on the way to work that says “WALTZ IS FOR MURDERING THE UNBORN.” I don’t agree with it but it’s fucking hilarious to see, because it’s in the middle of nowhere
- Related, since we live out in the country now, the pro-life religious bulletins that have the most CGI looking babies on them. Like that baby is not real. Honey
- I almost got into an accident once because there are so many dogs down a 55 MPH road that I just kept looking at the dogs
- The church that has six doors outside on their lawn that say “GOD’S DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL”
- The church that has a progress flag on its flag post and a BLM flag flying under it. I went there once and it’s full of old people. They were so kind. I want to go back there again
- The kind lady at the Chinese takeout restaurant down the road from us who stayed when the restaurant was empty so I could pick up my order. I wanted my brother to get it but he bailed last minute
- The grocery store down the street that my family has wildly different pronunciations of. It’s within walking distance. I’ve never had that before
- The man today who accidentally bought two tickets for himself. Instead of refunding one, he wanted to give away the other one for free
- The mall Santa I see around Christmas time when he’s on his break. Just walking around. High socks and shorts with a Christmas theme, he’s great
- The little girl yesterday who told me she would get a dog and a fish. When I asked her what she would name the dog, she said “Rainbow Pup”
- The parents who use they/them to refer to me. Even though I personally don’t use those pronouns and don’t like them when they’re used in reference to me, it’s a sign of progress
- The little girl whose parents I sold an annual pass to. I’ve seen her four times. She recognizes me each time and runs to give me a hug
- The toddler who tried to hand me her half-eaten cinnamon-dusted timbit when I asked her for a high five
- The kind people at KwikTrip who never look like they don’t want to be there
- My supervisor who shrieks whenever he walks by me because that’s how I greet people so he’s started greeting me like that as well. He’s an absolute truck of a man who looks like Thor
