Somebody, umm this girl had joined my research group, and I was showing her around, but like, the research was like in Italy or something. My car was a boat; it was just like a gondola. We were just like going to the city to get back to [university name redacted], and I was just like showing her my phone, and somehow like everyone just use the same phone and you could just share...you could just like hold everyone's information...and like just press this button... and when she pressed the button, then like all of your information gets backed up, and it wasn't the other person's phone anymore. And so I was explaining that to her and she was like "Wow! So Cool!" and then um...so she was trying to set up all of her information so that she could use the phone. Um... and then I was telling her it was my mom's phone and it didn't have internet and like that was a big deal for her, that it didn't have the internet. And when I gave her the key at where she would be living on campus and told her to not lose it because that's a lot of money, and then I gave her the key to the lab, and then it like she.... I don't know.... we had to like.... I gave her money, I don't know why, it wasn't like regular money, it had RC on it, cause I was trying to figure out what RC stand for. And I gave her all these coins and they have like RC on them. And all that was like what was going on two seconds ago. Before that, cause we were at the house we were staying at, and then we left for some reason on that gondola. But so we were at the house and I was at the house waiting for her to get there. For some reason, there was like a softball game was going on in the backyard, and there was this big dog guarding the house. So I had to like help people to get past the dog so that they can go play softball in the backyard. People kept coming and I was like hey you're good...you're good, and I was waiting for this girl to get here so I could do all those stuff I just said... did. And I was talking to somebody, I was talking to two other people, like they were getting me ready, basically just telling me all the things I just told the girl. And my mom was there and she was like the person telling me what to say. I don't know, I was sitting in a rocking chair. It was kinda weird. And umm I was happening....And...um...I think that like.... The girl tried to call me on the phone but it didn't work for some reason, and then like came to the house. So I was like talking in the house to the girl. Um...and like everyone was just like quiet. Umm and when she got there like I had to like help her get past the dog into the house, so I was telling her to go around the back just like what I told softball people to do. And for some reason I couldn't tell if she is a softball person or if she was here to work with research. All the softball people looked very distinct, they looked the same, they weren't the same person but they all looked very similar, I was thinking like.... Aren't you already here?.... Umm.... And so yeah I figured out who she was. An then I was like I tried to take her to the lab and I tried to show her around. And that's where all those other stuff happened. That's it.
Source & context
A deidentified English report collected after a sleep awakening in the Zhang and Wamsley study. Some reports describe brief dreamlike imagery rather than a complete story; waking-only rows and no-experience reports are excluded. The complete source transcript is preserved except for explicitly documented bracketed privacy substitutions. This is a report, not a new community submission, a distinct-person count or a claim that every report is an independent dream episode. The phone-information mechanism is fantastical dream content, not an actual software capability or exposed credential.
