Weird Dreams Catalogue: This One Time at Band Camp... (Patreon)

Before I get into the details of this weird dream, I just would like you to know that this is what my half-asleep brain wrote down for the setting: At camp, the one with the dresses, but now one of the campers (lets call him Damian) owns

...I don't know a camp with any dresses, but I somehow know exactly what I meant 😂 I've had a dream at this same camp location before (though I don't remember the dream itself), and there's a strip of shops within the camp for some reason (now that I think about it...it might be some weird cult...), and one of them is a fancy dress shop... I'm sure you can't possibly imagine why I might dream about looking at/ buying fancy dresses... 😅🙈

Anyway, now that you have an idea of where the dream takes place, I must warn you that this one boarders of nightmare territory. It didn't feel like a nightmare, – I wasn't really scared at any point – but it was a pretty horrifying dream. I would definitely classify it as a horror/thriller if it were a movie 😅🫣 Anyway...

I honestly dont recall how we got anywehre in the dream, but theres basically three scenes: the bonfires, the dress shops, and the camp assembly.


Act 1: The Bonfires

Me and the other campers went to sit down at benches/seats encircling a row of fire pits. When we arrived and settled in, the primary camp leader stood just in front of the row and loudly announced that each pit was to choose which camper they would send to go get the kerosene from the pools below. For some reason in my little horror flick brain, I decided that the logical method for kerosene retrieval was to walk down to pools of it at the bottom of a hill, take a literal mouthfull, and climb back up the hill to spit it on the firepits... Please don't ask. I have no explanation 🙈

Instead of choosing someone to go poison themselves(??!) I lay an old card (I don't remember and didn't specify the type of card...I think it was a playing card, but I think it would be a better story if it were a tort card, so let's go with that 😅👍) onto the ice that leads down to the pools, retrieve it (with magic? Because I did not actually go down to the pools...) and then wipe it clean over the firewood. Apparently, though, my magic tarot card kerosene wasn't good enough 🙄 because they still wanted someone to properly go down.

Finally, one girl I don't recognize goes and does it, but almost dies on the way up & collapses after spitting onto the wood... presumably this kerosene is more toxic than just regular kerosene 😬


Act 2: The Dress Shop

Late in the dream, me and the other campers are all shopping at the random strip of stores. Do we have any money? Who knows... but we go to the dress shop to find something to wear at the camp...dance? Suddenly, right as i find the perfect gown (rude), one of the old camp counsellors – who I guess is mad about the changes that are to come in the camp once the camper, Damian, fully owns the place – goes on a rampage around the camp and just starts stabbing and killing people... a murderous rampage, if you will.

Good news is, though: me and my friends escape 👈😎👈


Act 3: The Assembly

Years after the anger management mishap, we return, for some ungodly reason, and all the campers are meeting in the auditorium, and we're just chilling for a bit and doodling. One girl is writing in a notebook and suddenly realizes "someone" is occasionally writing back in red ink on the page (hello Tom Riddle), so she starts asking questions (you'd think Id recently watched Chamber of Secrets 😅).

At some point in her chat wkth the notebook, no one knows why, but she gets scared and tells all the girls we need to leave. Ominous... but it's too late and we can't. For some unknown reason, I start singing "Dancing on my Own", and the girls gather together at the front of the auditorium. I don't know why I started singing, but I can't stop 🫣 Suddenly, one girl starts literally floating above us all and ends up on the stage, dancing to the song. When the song ends, she floats down from the stage and collapses on the floor (shockingly, she also was not voluntarily floating/dancing).

Anyway, that's the story of how dream KT got momentarily possessed by an evil spirit who just wanted some light entertainment 😂
