Creature. Strongest. Sword.

I'm walking through an area with corridors and there's an enemy creature launching attacks that look like infrared. I find a man who's fighting it and I go around and I’m going to help him. I have a curved sword that I can use to launch energy and make attacks and also block attacks. I’m going to help him but then I think it's not a good idea, that he needs to have the chance to train too. I know I'm the strongest one here. I also manage to deduce, I don't know how, that whoever's launching the attacks is a humanoid creature.

The man ends up approaching me and we hide in a room. It's a very small space that looks more like a storage closet and I instinctively lock the door from the inside. He says irritably why I'm locking the door and I know he's worried that it'll slow us down if we need to get out fast. So we unlock it. But the idea is to let the creature pass.


Portal. Estate. Parking.

I'm with my mother in my car and I'm driving. We're looking for a place that's a portal but she doesn't remember where it is anymore. We arrive at a road where she says maybe we should give up. I stop and look at the continuation of the road. It's lined with trees that form an arch. The trees are bare like it's winter and they have large spider webs and small lights like torches illuminating them. It has a completely magical vibe and a bit creepy. I tell my mother I'm curious to see what's down that road and that we should continue. And we do.

The road leads to a narrowing, there's a structure that looks like a huge Estate and there's a passage on the right and on the left it's a ramp but with no exit. The passage doesn't look like it's made for cars and I ask my mother if she thinks we can make it. She replies that this car is spectacular and that with it we can go anywhere. So I go for it and when we reach the passage it's a gate that's only open on one side and there are some men arriving to close it but we enter and then I start recognizing the place.

It's a farm open to the public where I was not long ago. It's almost night and I wonder if they're still open. I end up driving inside the building with the car and my mother points to some parking spots on the other side of the room but to get there I have to drive through an area with tables and it's very tight. My mother tells me to go through there. I go and have to excuse myself to some people sitting at tables with children doing activities. First I pass by a boy and he pulls his legs in for me to pass. Then at the next table there's a girl with special needs who has protruding teeth and her nails painted with white and red polka dots. I stop for a bit to talk to her and then manage to pass. My mother has gone on foot to the parking spots and is saving the last one for us. I get out of the car and go to her and grab a bucket of Greek yogurt and bring it to the car. My mother comes with me.

We're almost at the parking area when a truck pulling some vending machines blocks the passage. There are two men in a car in front of us who also get stuck. I'm about to try to maneuver but the truck driver signals to me to calm down and wait. Meanwhile the two men are inside the car with us and I start feeling a bit claustrophobic because I can't get out and on top of that I'm with these two men I don't know. We end up turning the car around and then we're outside and it's night. The men are complaining that they can't believe they're going to have to pay €2 each to get out with the car. They go to a building that seems to be the site's reception to complain but it's Sunday evening and it's closed. I start heading back and they end up coming too and complaining that now they won't be able to get a refund. One of them tells a story about how another time a policeman charged them €3.80 each and between the whole group they ended up paying €37. I'm surprised they think that's a lot of money and that they're wasting so much energy talking about it and trying to recover €2. But it starts getting to me too and I think it was a mistake to come here and I look at a wall clock when we re-enter the building that shows it's 6:25 and that it closes at 7.

We go through some turnstiles and I can't see how to open them and then I remember the ticket, a card attached to one of those lanyards you wear around your neck that give you access to places. I follow my mother and on the other side of the turnstile there's a security guard and I'm the only one who says good afternoon to him and I think maybe I could explain the situation and see if he lets us leave without paying. But I end up not saying anything."


Pool. Stairs. Refill.

I'm with a group in a place where there's a huge pool but the pool starts on top of some rocks and then has stairs, meaning it goes along a wall and then has a normal part down below. I'm getting into the pool with some friends and the pool is only half full and I comment that maybe we should empty the pool and fill it again since we're going to add more water anyway but they say it's not necessary, that we'll just add more water. I know they want to save water but I think I don't like the idea of the water being potentially dirty.


TV. Busy. No.

I'm with Nina in what looks like grandma’s room and we're watching a series. I've already seen it and I'm showing it to her. I look at the TV, which is one of those old ones and very small, and I comment that I never noticed how small the TV is. Meanwhile there's a guy who wants to talk to me and came to the house but I tell him I'm busy. He wants me to come with him to Benfica so we can be together and I tell him no, and I tell him he can't just show up at my door like that.
