Weird Dreams

I had a weird dream last night. I saw you with my time capsule that I had hidden in my bun, but the stray strand of hair gave it away. I couldn't hide it properly as you had instructed, so they took it away.

Then you appeared in my dream, posing with this red cylindrical thing. Oh, I know you found our capsule. But how did it become red and so giant? Also, you never posed with random things. Is it a sign?

That you have secured it in a parallel world where the folks at my place can't find it because for this they will have to travel through the dimensionless world? And with the help of this capsule that is now in your possession.

The timestamp says 2020.
So, did you travel back in time?
Why wouldn't you take me along?
I am so lonely here.

But wait, it was only a dream...
Did I see a photo of you in my dream? Or did I see you?

Please, stop playing those games. I am wide awake now.

I'm standing near my vanity table, looking for the eyeshadow palette that I had hidden in the capsule, away from our little daughter. It was never a time capsule, but the dream says otherwise.

But I can't find it anywhere! So, they really took it away. How will I color my eyes now?

Tell me all these answers in my dream tonight. I will have to sleep for it, but I haven't slept in days now.

So when did I dream? Or was it really a dream?

So, did I time travel with you?

My head is spinning now...

Who is ringing my door bell for the fourth time? Or maybe forever... Did I sleep again while watching this
The Flash

It's a mystery! Maybe it's a persistent visitor or just a dream seeping into reality. Worth checking though, just in case you're caught in a binge-watch-induced nap.

Ugh... I've told my kids a trillion times that we should stop watching this season now. Who makes 9 seasons of this nonsense? But they insist otherwise! And they don't like watching it by themselves. Dearest and I have to join them in all their binge-watching. Hence, the result... These stupid dreams... Apologies for tagging you along!

Let me check one final time. Let me check if my water filter is working properly. Whaaaaat, it's missing! It was securely screwed to the wall, and the chipped-off paint surely didn't make it an item worth stealing.

Maybe, just maybe, it was hoarding some secrets...

Please pinch me, for I am not sure if I am dreaming or awake...

Pinch Did that feel real? Sometimes it's hard to tell dreams from reality!

_{Edit: P.S.: The structure of this post is inspired by the translated "mystery/detective" novels/digests collected by my mother-in-law, which I used to read in my early days of marriage when I lived with her. She has a very huge collection. Anyone interested can borrow them for reading. Like my acquaintances: @event-horizon and @beyondhersmile.}
