The Thomas Sanders Dream - February 27th, 2017

I'm sitting with Thomas Sanders (the Vine/YouTube celebrity) on the steps of a water fountain. He seems really sad about something, so I ask him what's wrong. He dramatically turns to me and says he's pining for someone but he's not sure they've noticed him or are aware of his existence. Thinking he might mean me, I flirt with him asking, what her name is. To my disappointment, it's not me, but some other bitch named Dreeva Pajeet.

Thomas bursts into song about his love and how he wants to be with her. He sings about her filming her new film in the Dolby theatre and that there are a lot of security guards surrounding the area. He becomes resigned when he realises he's only one man and can't break in by himself. Feeling genuinely sorry for him, and hoping I can make him notice me by helping, I offer to wear a disguise and break in with him.

Then I burst into song about how fun it is to dress up and there's a weird montage of us trying on costumes. At one point, I'm wearing large, gold hoops, a gold, skater dress (though I recall looking over at a clown costume on the wall which was multicoloured and large like a parachute/poncho type of thing) and I stuck a fuzzy bear sticker on my cheek. Thomas was wearing mini moustache stickers and laughed every time I came out wearing something new. I remember distinctly holding a packet of mini moustache stickers in my hand which also contained three paper backs with studs in them and there was a pair of electric blue flower earrings with screws at the centre of the flowers. I remember them so vividly because I wanted them in real life and wondered if I'd seen them before or made them up.

I tell Thomas that I'm ready and to wish me luck. We're suddenly in my parents' living room and apparently the stairs door is really the stage door in disguise and that Pajeet is upstairs. I open the door and hop up about five steps when cats start running down the stairs out of no where and I hear explicit moaning. I'm suddenly in a lilac room with Lili and we're looking at a small wardrobe with a shoe stand in it. Every shoe is a different style and seemingly tiny but they're all black and either have neon green stripes or neon orange stripes on them. I become confused and tell Lili that I think I like them but there's something off about the design, something not quite right. I look over to my right as the moaning starts again and I see two people under some sheets, clearly having sex. I get a few glimpses of their faces and realise it's my dad and Pajeet (who weirdly looks like Pea). I ask Lili why they're just there having loud sex: she explains that it's just a play, though there is no stage nor audience…just us and a small wardrobe.

Suddenly I'm back on the stairs again. I blink a few times and then walk back down them to find Thomas waiting eagerly on  my sofa. I shake my head and explain that Pajeet loves another man. At that moment, my dad walks through the stairs door and sees me.
Seeing Thomas upset breaks my heart, so I ask my dad how the sex with Pajeet was, hoping he'd say he doesn't love her. He says it was great but the "tummy thing" was something to get used to. We both give him a weird look, he laughs and says "well she's a snake, isn't she? Her vagina is on her stomach, like a snake." I'm still confused at this point but Thomas draws me a quick sketch of her supposed anatomy and he nods, saying my dad is indeed correct. I'm about to say "that's not how snakes work" but my dad is already gone.

Thomas and I are alone again, in the same place at the start of the dream. I tell him that I'm sorry about Pajeet but there are other people that love him. I move in for a kiss, and I'm inches away from his cheek, when I notice Pajeet is standing in the middle of the fountain with our backs to us, talking to three other snake-like women. I suddenly become enraged: I just want Thomas to myself without this bitch always interfering. I storm off and suddenly the dream becomes third person POV.

Thomas sits there, not really noticing I've gone, looking gloomy. The water fountain (originally a large, vertical structure) suddenly stretches out to look like a small reservoir (like the ponds in Wivenhoe park). Pajeet is still in the middle with her three friends and Thomas is on the very edge. He notices her and starts wading into the water.
I appear on the other side, fixated on Pajeet. My skin is green and I dramatically brush my hair out of my face to reveal I'm a lizard person. I also have two other lizard people with me.
I yell at Pajeet, telling her she's a disgrace to our kind, and then throw tasers into the middle of the reservoir. One by one, they become electrocuted and die, and I suddenly realise Thomas is behind them, and he's electrocuted too.


The dream ends with me laying him out on the grass, pouring bleach into his mouth and pretending he's serenading me. His eyes are blank and lifeless but I sit watching him, smiling like a mad person.
