I had a dream. I was sitting at my desk, as usual, nothing abnormal like one would expect from dreams. I was on call on my computer with a stereotypically serious and gritty Private Investigator. They had a deep voice, and the call was only audio, so I couldn’t see his face. He couldn’t see mine.



I was talking about my problems to them. Nothing a Private Investigator could really investigate on - it’s just the normal, everyday problems that I have to deal with. As I’d speak, he’d “hm” and “okay”, not offering any therapeutic advice.



At this point of the dream, I was alone in my room talking. But, I guess, in a few seconds, time had passed to the point my ma was talking to the PI, in her Chinese-accented English.



The detective was sharing his screen, revealing the google doc he worked on while I was basically venting last time. It was a bullet-pointed, concise list with big text. Like at size 14 in google docs probably…



My ma was asking him questions, and the PI was replying placatingly, I guess so I wouldn’t be scolded. He didn’t really even detail that much of my issues. It was extremely vague.

i was talking to this person in the year above me, who's leaving school for study leave, and i misheard one of the words they said as "flamingo", as in, the roblox youtuber.



they soon mentioned how for three years they identified a comic in the spanish room to have a flamingo reference in it. (there were multiple comics on a wall of the spanish room that were made by students. the decorations change in the spanish room every now and then, so they are no longer there.)



my comic. they were referring to my comic. i made a flamingo inspired comic in year 6. i was in the midst of my flamingo obsession in year 6 or 5. so i made a blueberry and strawberry talk to eachother in spanish, the lesson and language, which was put on the walls of the spanish room as decoration.



someone else got the reference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my flamingo reference! i said to them "wait that might've been mine" and we had a moment of realisation about it. fun stuff

i went to the zoo today. my family has a poor financial situation, so i qualified to go to a zoo workshop for free. i did zoo keeper activites which was fun.

it was extremely hot the entire day though. i was turning into red cooked shrimp.



at the workshop, i was able to feed a tortoise lettuce and also pet it. unfortunately none of the tortoises wiggled their asses... but i think all of them were too old for that.



the zookeeper warned that tortoises have poor eyesight, and could bite your finger off if you sucked ass and looked another direction when you were feeding them. i became very cautious from this fear. definitely not the tortoises' fault for the biting thing though they seemed very nice. it's just a biological problem.



besides tortoises though, i saw giraffes. i had to scoop up the hay they shat in. i became free labor.

luckily, giraffe poop is very small. they're like pellets



i also saw capybaras, penguins, otters, wallabies, parrots and pigs. the pigs genuinely smelt horrible. they smelt like pure feces. penguins were nice. i felt my body temperature become colder around the water they inhabited.



oh i also saw lemurs.

a kid (that wasn't in the workshop group) referred to one of the lemurs as a leopard and one of the employees that was running the workshop said something like "how does he see a leopard?" and "they're two opposite animals.." lol

i was in a modern-looking labyrinth filled with tall rows of storage units with those trays you have to pull out. if you've ever played persona 5, it was like the last area of kaneshiro's palace with the shifting walls.



it was very crowded, and there were a lot of simpsons characters scrambling around, trying to find a murderer by opening trays. i was joining the effort, albeit very lazily... i think i only opened one tray that was blue.



also, there were two grown-up versions of two simpsons characters that i think i lowkey made up in my head. the guy character was professing love to the girl - he wanted to date her. i saw this happen with a non-moving camera shot like a movie.



for some reason the dream abruptly cut to another movie-esc shot of goro akechi from persona 5 entering hope dream academy (from danganronpa) with the other danganronpa characters. however, hope dream academy was a bank building, with automatic glass sliding doors. i have not played danganronpa (some of my friends have though), but i rememember yasuhiro hagekure and kyoko kirigiri were two people that were entering the building.



I was awake but asleep at the same time while dreaming this. It was a very uncomfortable experience. all my senses weren't sensing the right way
