Im not sure where the dream begins, but i remember i was taking a vacation from work to go back to tokyo. I was really excited to be able to spend time in japan again. I got a small apartment on i believe the third floor of an apartment building. The dream felt like it took place over several weeks snd was so vivid that i wasnt even fully sure if it was a dream or not. my memories are a bit scattered and fragmented but I'll try to piece them together chronologically as best i can. At one point, i was at 7/11 buying some oreos and i was talking with the cashier. He asked how my vacation was going and the conversation drifted to be about employment and he suggested that if i wanted a job in tokyo, i could apply at a 7/11. I told him that i would consider it and that i should start working on my japanese again. afterwards i took my oreos and went home. I should mention that my apartment building was really small and cramped. the staircase was a small spiral staircase that had a similar appearance to the wood paneling you'd see on the walls of houses built back in the 90s. there was a small dune buggy in my apartment and i would frequently ride it down the stairs. after a while i got quite good at it and it was really fun. When i got back to my apartment, I went to sleep. When i woke up, i saw there was a notification on my phone saying that my father had commented on a random social media post i made. As if on cue, my phone started ringing with a call from my dad. I declined it and we started texting. He said he wished me a happy birthday. I checked the date and realized it was august 27th. i asked him what he wanted, he said he wanted to reconnect and asked why we didnt want anything to do with him. the entire time i was texting him, the phone's keyboard kept using this dumb new ai feature to auto generate reaponses which was making the whole conversation confusing and a huge pain cause it was slowing down the app and i had to keep closing out of the ai responses to text. my dad asks if the reason was because of him changing his profile picture on discord way way back. i wanted to tell him that it was because he raped a child and i hate him but the app kept bugging out so i decided to just leave it and close the app. i got up, rode the dune buggy down the stairs, got in my car and started to drive around tokyo. while driving, i call my sister laura to ask her if dad contacted her. while i was calling her, i wondered about how he even managed to get my phone number and lamented about how inconvenient it would be to have to change it. my sister answered the phone and we spoke. i dont remember much about the conversation itself. i asked her if dad called her or tried to contact her in any way. in the middle of our conversation however, she stopped talking and i could hear a car crash through the phone. i stopped my car and asked if she was ok. she said she was fine but badly hurt and had to go. i put my phone away and was about to get ready to drive away when a woman suddenly pulled up behind me, hooked up a cable to the back of my car and started towing me away. I tried to get the woman's attention but failed. i figured she mustve assumed my car was broken down since i was stopped in the middle of the road. eventually she stops at her house and i take the opportunity to undo the hook. I get out and she says something to me in Korean. im too tired and annoyed to deal with this so i just say うるせい、くそやろう and get back in my car and leave. i figured she wouldnt understand it. some time later, im sitting in my apartment by myself when suddenly, i hear my sister isabelle speaking from the other room. i immediately jump up at the sound and look over at the doorway. I can hear her talking to our dad, as well as the sound of the shower running. i call out to her and she responds. I can see her shadow against the wall, for some reason her shadow looks like hatsune miku. she tells me to come over. I say no and ask who shes talking to. i wonder whats going on and why shes even there. after a few more questions, she steps out from the other room and i can see her. her face is all white with black, dirty circles around her eyes and shes dressed like hatsune miku. without a single second of hesitation, i immediately jump on my dune buggy and speed down the staircase. for some reason, i only ever use the dune buggy for going down the stairs. i went so fast that i was almost riding fully sideways against the wall. once im outside, i get off and start running away. i take out my phone and pull up google maps. i remember that i mad marked several places i had visited on my phone and remembered that i could use my phone to warp to those points like a sort of fast travel. i select a waypoint and am about to hit the fast travel when my sister grabs my arm. i scream and push her off, mashing the fast travel button to fet away. Suddenly, i teleport and im in the middle of downtown. i try to collect myself and wonder what the hell just happened. then, the perspective of the dream shifts to an isometric third person perspective, similar to that of project zomboid. i notice on the UI that it says theres an enemy approaching and i realize what that means and start to run away as a hoard of strange red zombies starts chasing me. i watch my character run away and eventually get surrounded by the swarm. im not fully sure of what happened next. at some point, i wake up in my apartment. this time, my sister jasmine is calling me on my phone i decline the call because its from an unknown number but dhe texts me afterwards saying its her so i reply. she says they're all visiting at Laura's place and some of her friends are there too. i wake up again, this time in at home at Laura's house. i peek out my door and see everyone there. its at this point that i start to get confused on if i was ever at tokyo or not. i have visions of me applying for time off at my job and figure that i had already went to tokyo and came back. i leave my room and say hi to all my sisters and her friends. for some reason, my dad is also there but its normal. him and i are watching tv, theres an anime playing and the main character in the anime keeps waking up from dreams over and over. he wakes up in bed and jerks up, visibly shaken. Then, he wakes up again, in a different bed. Then, a different character wakes up in a different bed. this continues over and over, the protagonist continually waking up but still in the dream. sometimes with other people in the bed, sometimes as a different person. my dad says its stupid or something. i say it feels similar to how i was feeling with my dream about Tokyo earlier. then, i wake up again and im in the middle of eye surgery. i can see the surgery happening on my eye in third person. its a surgery to remove a clouded lense where they make an incision in the eye and suck out the lense and inject a new one. i jerk a little and the doctors calm me down. after a bit the surgery is finished and i leave. i keep meaning to ask laura anout the car crash or our dad because at this point I'm very confused on what's real and what's a dream anymore. infall back asleep and wake up in the apartment in tokyo. i dont remember much of what happened in the dream after. when i woke up for real in the real world, i was sat there for a while, not really sure of anything.

I love the part where you rip down the stairs on the dune buggy. Dreams are so random. Now I want my own stair climbing dune buggy .
