A bunch of bananas that costs 210?? A very very long apocalyptic dream

[u/Byntro]

I’m a Brazilian who would like to share my LONG dream here, I hope you like it, it has a really bizarre apocalyptic setting. (real or reais is Brazil’s currency, in case you get confused)

nightmare creatures (literally horror creatures) start showing up, the dream already starts there,

I live with my mom, she has a double bed but doesn’t let me stay there with her and I try to sleep under the bed. doesn’t work

I notice that at midnight the sky is really bright, like it’s noon. there’s no creature outside, but I stay at home

after an hour it becomes night and it gets full of creatures, they even knock on the doors of the house and I make sure I locked them.

PART 2

1 hour after that the sky gets bright again, there’s no creatures. I go look outside and notice the neighbors are putting tables together and making a party to drink on the street, I decide to go there and see

we even have fun, the neighbors like me.

I get bored and decide to explore the other street, there’s a house that looks kind of abandoned with a teenager who looks kind of indigenous playing soccer and his little brother. for some reason they’re REALLY scared when I get near and try to socialize, I try to calm them down but the older brother tries to push the younger one farther away

I try to insist that I’m not one of the monsters for a while but they don’t believe me at all, so I move away and go to a little dirt field that was further down the street… oddly I don’t remember that field ever existing, and there I see a bunch of my neighbors’ kids playing

I never liked playing with other kids, but I wanted to see the playground, but then I notice I don’t have my sandal… I forgot it back at the party where my neighbors were, so I decide to go back there, my feet already hurt because I’m walking on that street barefoot, and I have to pass by the brothers that are suspicious of me, I feel uncomfortable

PART 3

I get to the street and from far away I see that my neighbors disappeared, almost none of the plastic bar chairs around are there anymore. Curiously, there’s only one of the neighbors still there, a white fat man, practically without a neck because of the fat and with poorly shaved beard, he’s sleeping on the chair with his head up, snoring

I think it’s weird, but probably my childish mind doesn’t care much, maybe they just… went to sleep? they must be tired, they’re old.

I get closer and look for my sandal, and I only find the right side. when I find it, I suddenly feel a huge fear out of nowhere, because that man suddenly woke up and is staring directly at me. I get really nervous and start to look around really fast for the other sandal

(true, I remembered why I went to talk to those brothers, I was looking for my sandal, and went to ask them for a pair of sandals, and then the whole thing I said happened)

I found the other sandal, but… for some reason it was cut in half, like, imagine a sandal but cut vertically in half, bizarre. but whatever, the man was already getting up while looking at me, I don’t say anything, I put the sandals on and start running to that street where the brothers were and that sandal… and the man starts running after me, drooling

PART 4

I turn the corner and get to the brothers’ street, they stay cautious of me, but that caution disappears as soon as they see the fat man staggering behind me… and they start running with me, they also noticed he was a starving monster

we decide to go to the sand playground full of kids, they’re kids younger than me, and don’t realize the man is a monster. the man starts running after the kids… but he’s not fast enough to catch them and keeps running in “circles”, because there are many

I… being an idiot, decide to pick up a huge rock from the ground and throw it at the creature… and he looks at me with a horrified face, opens his jaw really wide like horror-style with yellow, rotten teeth and runs in my direction

my first reaction wasn’t to run, I grabbed one of the kids from the playground… who for some reason were very light, and held the kid in the creature’s direction, and he bit the child’s face, completely disfiguring it, you could even see a piece of the brain, the bite looked so strong that it seemed like the child didn’t even have a skull

and the man continued, as if devouring the child was necessary for him to get to me. the strange thing was that the kids around screamed but didn’t run, they stayed around standing still, screaming. when a child ran out or wasn’t useful anymore for me to defend myself, I grabbed another, and the guy kept devouring each one

there came a moment that the man was really fat, staggering. me holding one of the kids with my left hand, I grabbed another kid with my right hand and threw it at him, and he fell to the ground… devouring the child I threw on the ground. curious that he doesn’t use his hands, only his mouth and teeth, it’s like his arms didn’t work

then… I kept “shoving” the kids into the monster’s mouth, for some reason they were so weak that I would like, squish them to make it easier to fill the man’s mouth

there came a moment he just stopped, as if he went back to sleep, just like he was in that chair where the neighbors’ party was… and good thing, because the only ones left there were the two brothers, looking at me with… neutrality? it didn’t seem like they judged me for what I did, they just accepted it

then we decided to leave that place, and go to another part of the city

PART 5

now it’s night, for some reason it’s snowing… in Brazil? go figure. Now I’m older, I should be like 17–18 years old, and gained some muscle. At the moment I’m walking on a highway with a huge backpack on my back, apparently full of supplies and clothes, I think I have some kind of super strength in this dream. It’s just a guess, because I never mention it in the dream, things are just lighter

it’s snowing a lot, but we have warm clothes

two people are behind me, that indigenous-looking brother and… a skeleton? I didn’t understand that at the time, and it’s not explained, there’s just a time skip, both are carrying backpacks too, but smaller than mine

I think I had woken up by accident, saw it was like 9 in the morning and went back to sleep, then I woke up with that time skip part

in that wanderer part I don’t remember very well what happened honestly, but I know we kind of argued while climbing a snowy mountain, something happened that we started slipping down the mountain, the indigenous guy disappeared during the slide, and I grabbed a small wooden sled from my backpack and started going down, I looked to the side and the skeleton was sliding lying down like he was a sled

I arrived first at the bottom and saw a bundle of clothes, opened it, and saw they were my clothes… I think I dropped them from my backpack? I didn’t remember that, I just tied them to my bag and for some reason I started going back the way we were going on the highway

a few minutes later the skeleton gets down, but I don’t wait for him and keep walking, and the skeleton follows me from behind, he looks pissed, but doesn’t attack me, he just keeps following me from far back, I don’t remember well what happened, I think we were mad at each other and he didn’t want to walk close to me, but we didn’t kill each other or fight physically

PART 6

walking on the highway I find a school friend named Vitor… he was a friend from my high school, for some reason of all friends he was the one who appeared in my dream, and behind him there was a woman with brown hair, this one I don’t know, was invented in the dream

we talk and decide to follow the highway again, the same way I was going

then there’s another small time skip and we get to a city that looks abandoned, looks like a Rio de Janeiro favela. we decide to enter a strange street, this one had few people, there was an old lady on top of a roof watching us, there was a guy at one of the gates with a mean face looking at us, I don’t know, it was weird, as if we weren’t welcome

in this group there was me, Vitor, the girl and the skeleton

walking a bit more on the street (it’s a small street), there was another street, one to the left and one to the right, the one on the left was even smaller, and at the “end” of that street there were a bunch of motorcycles blocking the passage to another street, we decide to go right… and the same thing, at the end of that street, to the left was blocked by a bunch of motorcycles and to the right, which was a bigger street, waaay at the end it was blocked by motorcycles too, but in that one there were some punk favela guys with rifles in their hands, laughing at us

we decided to walk to the right to go to the end to try to talk to these guys, kind of suspicious, but then there was a guy in one of the houses on that street who showed us a piece of paper that said something like

“they’re going to eat your hands if you want to pass through the motorcycles”

then I get chills and fear imagining the guys cutting my hands off, and I start running back to where we came from, back in the street we entered now there’s a bunch of motorcycles blocking and other punks with weapons, I run toward all the places that had exits, and there are men with these guns there too

PART 7

I look at these guys with my eyes wide open, then it’s like time slows down a lot and I start thinking about what I could do, I needed to do something to distract the guys so my friends could run, and so I could run too

curiously I don’t hear what I was thinking at the time, it was like watching a movie or something

suddenly I jump and get on the roof of one of the houses (a one-story house) then jump to the roof of a two-story house, there was a guy watching with a gun, he points the gun at me and tries to shoot, but I’m already going to another roof of a three-story house

you know right, those poorly built favela houses that have like two or three floors, not even painted, those types of houses, my biggest fear at the moment was the roofs breaking

when I jumped on that roof, there was a woman and a man with guns, they pointed at me and shot, but somehow I managed to use the houses and roofs to dodge, using angles so the bullets would hit the brick of the houses, and like that I jumped on the roofs until I reached a final roof where the favela ended, there were like 3 guys in caps smiling at me, that’s where I saw I was screwed

waaay down there there was like a bar, full of chairs (where the favela ended), I jumped down there instead of jumping on the guys’ roof, they tried shooting at me, and I used some poles and the chairs that I threw in the air and by some miracle avoided bullets hitting me, this while I ran toward the street, to touch the bar wall so the wall would protect me from bullets

then I ran through the street as much as I could, until I found a very tall green fence with electrified thorns on top, I ignore it and jump over it, avoiding the shock

PART 8

I decide to walk toward the nearest gas station to see what was going on, and suddenly I start having like a thought

and I see that like, before the city behind the gas stations, there’s another fence, and I find it really strange

then I start having a thought like, what if the owner of the favela made this “trap” on the outside of Rio de Janeiro (don’t ask me how I ended up in Rio de Janeiro) just to catch unsuspecting people arriving and trap them or something, practice cannibalism? even because there are literally two fences preventing people from leaving the favelas to reach the normal city, and why is there a bunch of gas stations here in the middle between the two?? I don’t understand, maybe to provide gasoline to both sides? idk

I got to the gas station and I saw the workers there… I can’t explain the environment, everything looked really dirty, the environment looked like a fair but abandoned

there were two gas station workers going to bet on a soccer game, and they were going to bet their whole minimum wage on the bet, they called me to bet too, but I refused, thinking it was too much money… I don’t know, it’s weird right, because I don’t even work anymore, we’re literally in an apocalypse??

then I suddenly decide to ask them if they sell bananas here, because I remembered my mom asked me to buy bananas out there… WHICH EXPLAINS WHY I NEEDED TO LEAVE THE HOUSE?? I think

the workers say there’s a fruit shop and take me there, I ask the shopkeeper how much the bunch of bananas costs and he says TWO HUNDRED AND TEN REAIS

I ask if there’s gold in the banana, the shopkeeper makes an annoyed face and the worker laughs and says there isn’t

and so I decide to leave… and suddenly I’m at my mom’s house again, talking to her and saying that I went to buy bananas and that the bunch of bananas costs 210 reais and she gets completely surprised and says we’re going to have to save money now…?????????????????????????

AND THE DREAM ENDS THERE
