I don't really quitre remember how this dream was formatted. Like I remeber most of what happened, just not the order in which these plots happened, so I'll try to piece it together best I can.

So the main "plot" of this dream seemingly involved me ending up living in Japan for some reason. I lived in a little area in like an open apartment and I was very friendly and familiar with all my neighbors. One of them I met up with frequently was this kind older woman and her wife. She was a well-known lesbian writer or poet. We would have friendly conversations at each other's places and I remember at some point I put on a puppet show for her. We seemed to have been friends for a while in the world of this dream.

At some point in the dream, we stopped at a convience store, where I picked up this ice-cream flavored milk yogurt drink and a cup of ice. The cashier who rung us up and who we also saw restocking items throughout the visit was Iori Yagami. Kyo wasn't nearby so he was doing his job pretty normally. My buddy and I had the drinks together outside and we talked and the drinks were yummy and a fun Summer day was had.

I don't remember where exactly this part of the dream fit in, because it took place in my current residence in the US, specifically in the garage. It was dark and had a green filter and was lit like a Saw movie. Which was appropriate, because Saw was happening in there. Specifically, Billy Kane ended up with a reverse bear trap on his head, and Terry Bogard was trying to brute force yank it off not really getting that the device is hooked into Billy's upper and lower jaw. I drew this scene out on my Bluesky but thinking about the dream again I kinda drew it inaccurately. Like in the drawing with like Billy (the Puppet) there and the key in the stomach, it seemed to have played out like how Amanda's game was in Saw 1, but in actuality now that I think about it: in the dream it appeared to be more like what the rbt was used for at the end of Saw 6 and 3D by Hoffman and Jill. So it was less like Billy was made to play a game but more like someone put an rbt on him to kill him with it, so there wasn't really any key for him to use. But I recall that they were somehow able to get it off of him though, through some means. Counting that one time I drew them in the Bathroom Trap and this dream, Terry and Billy have made it through two Saw traps. I can only imagine the next time this happens they're gonna end up in the Pig Vat or something.
