Love, Hate and Confusion

I'm walking along this shopping mall (?) with this cute girl. She's shorter than me and has really short hair and glasses. While she is attractive, she's a little off the usual patterns of what I'd consider feminine beauty. Still, we're talking and having fun so I'm really not impressed when I start to notice we are falling in love. We have supposedly just left work, though it was still in an afternoon. We didn't know each other for long, it seems, as I was telling her about my job. I had this job that is mostly unlike my RL one - as I told her, I worked at Livraria Cultura, a major book retailer here from Brazil. I had several functions there, therefore I barely fitted in any job description. Apparently I helped with sells, planning, and also did a little social media, among other things. Now that I remember, for some reason we were talking in English, and I had a lot of accent, which made things a little awkward. Still, she just smiled and continued to talk.

As we talked, I barely noticed as we went through the streets. Finally realizing I was out of the way I was supposed to go, I tell her I gotta get moving. She chuckles and says that it's okay, since I ended up walking her home, which was nearby (the surroundings here remind me of North-American suburbs). We stand awkwardly and I ask something like "What now?" to which her answer is "Now it's the time you kiss me" It's cute and still kinda awkward, as she opens her arms. I approach her and we kiss. It's a little strange, but nevertheless good.

Next I wake as if I was in a dream. I'm in a bed, drenched in sweat and seemingly panicking. It's a little strange, as I sweat very little IRL. After some confusing moments, I realize I was playing this game where I had to pick options. The thing is, there was this "real life" guy who was manipulating me into picking the wrong choices, so it would benefit him somehow. This villain would speak ominously and was unseen, but apparently all-knowing. I had to escape him by picking the right choices. I pick one, and find out it takes me to a wrong path. I hear him laugh and say something along the lines of "Muahahahha! Just as I expected!" I'm scared.

Next up I remember being in front of a mirror. I'm feeling sad and confused, though there is no clear reason why. Looking at the mirror, I realize my hair is really long again, and it saddens me, for some reason. Most of all, I'm confused, as I don't remember it growing so fast (it was almost waist-length). A first look at the mirror showed me with black hair and I looked vaguely like an Asian girl I know, C. M. As I approached, though, I still looked female, but I now had curly brownish hair and green (blue?) eyes. I was confused that my hair could make me look so female, when I suddenly realized that I actually was somehow living the life of another person. It turned out I could switch instantly between four lives (apparently other than my own), and one of the lives was this girl's.

Hey Rodrigo.

I can relate to this experience - I've had a few lucid/non-lucid dreams where I've actually become someone else. It's a pretty weird feeling, right? On the one hand you know they're not you, and on the other you identify with all kinds of personal perceptions that seem to clearly relate to that individual.

I don't think I've ever been able to switch between four lives though! Que bom! :)
