Dreamed 2020/7/30 by Wayan

A woman leads me through a hidden door into a mansion I always wanted to explore. We sneak through secret passages, and emerge from a fake bookshelf. The halls are empty, but I sense someone's at home.

I wonder if they're in a session right now, down in the dungeon.

You see, this is the home of a mom and her tweenage daughter, who have a favorite game they bond over. They interrogate and 'torture' a victim to get 'information'--though it's not real torture, just B&D with friends, really. Who get off on being tied up and forced to tell the painful truth.

I can't criticize. It's consensual.

I think.

I hope.

I'm not into bondage even if it IS consensual, but I find it reassuring that this girl can take something so bizarre in stride. My weirdness is nothing next to her mom's; I'll be able to relax around her.

It doesn't hurt that she's adorable. Way underage, so I can't date her, but my intuition says she's important for me to know, longterm; she's sort of a portal, one of those people with a knack for introducing people who become best friends or soulmates. Maybe she'll know someone older who's right for me?

Not sure--but I know she matters. I never know why I need to know someone, just that I do. Or, sadly, and more often, that I don't.

Later. Inquisitor Girl and I are friends now. She and her best friend and I are waiting in a long line on the driveway of the little suburban home I grew up in. Sit and talk on the brick rim of a long raised strawberry bed; I remember planting those as a little kid.

We're going on a trip--a strange trip.

We're waiting to step through a big metal ring, up at the street end of the driveway. A teleportation gate! But the line is slow--after all, each destination must be verified clear for arrival, or... BOOM!

So we have a while to talk.

Interesting. All three of us turn out to have fathers who tend to get obsessed; once a project's started, they stay up all night. All three dads even go to the same gym, with a big climbing wall, and once started they just gotta top that wall. No matter how it hurts later.

So that's why I feel so comfortable with these two! Big age difference, but similar tasks--to undo the same bad training. Completionism!

Again I feel turned on. The excitement's not directed AT these two, but THROUGH them, as if I sense they'll lead me to a soulmate--or, just as important, teach me how to open up to a soulmate...

Not just portals themselves, but showing me how to be one.

We reach the head of the line, present our coordinates, and step through to...
