A dream I had while I napped today.

In my dream, I’m playing The Sims 3, but it’s not like the real game. Everything is very realistic, more realistic than in real life. I dream that my character, a little girl with long black hair and brown eyes, is *sitting in the back seat of a fancy car outside a convenient store, listening to her father and father’s boyfriend argue over her, (boyfriend doesn’t like her living with them. He can’t stand children.)

*First person POV, impossible in TS3

*She gets upset and runs away down a hill behind the store. She meets a little boy who she plays with for a while. All of a sudden, the sun goes down and everything moves in slow motion. There’s a huge flash of light then it’s day time again, only my character is an adult.

*POV third person

A box pops up that says: It’s getting late. ?#@!& (that’s literally what is said) has to go home now. With the little boy’s picture beside the words.

My character starts to run around. I can’t click anything at all. A couple of white boxes with unreadable text cover her body. She looks very sad and scared.

Finally she arrives at a house that is her own but obviously isn’t the house she lived in as a child with her father. It’s weird, like it’s made of parts of other houses. Everything is grungy and weird. One part of the house is sloping downwards.

I try to get in the house but something is blocking me. I try clicking everything but nothing works. Then I realize that the old science dome thing is over top of the house, so I delete it.

I walk around but I feel distressed. Nothing is right. How did I go from kid to adult just like that? What happened to the boy I was talking to? Where is my dad?

I click on my relationships tab and see that I’m best friends with my dad but I’m arch nemeses with his boyfriend (I try to use the testingcheatsenabled true cheat to make him like me but it won’t work.) I try to call him a few times but he won’t answer. I have a panic attack and look around my relationship for any other family I may have. Nothing. I notice I’m best friends with someone named @ who’s a celebrity and whose *picture is the front half of a Hummer.

*Everyone’s portrait is different from normal Sims portrait except the little boy’s. The dad’s portrait is a dramatic painting of him from the side.

Suddenly, the dad appears at the end of the property and walks over. He’s dressed in a long gray trench coat, white dress shirt and black slacks. He’s older now, middle aged, sort of looks like David Bowie. He speaks in the English language in a British accent and says, “Hello, darling. I’m sorry we have to meet in secret like this, but you know how %@# feel about me talking to you. How do you like your new house?”

The walls are completely up so I makes them see through. It’s even grungier inside.

“It’s, um… interesting,” I reply in my normal American accent.

“Come with me,” he says as he leads me inside the house. We walk down spiraled normal stairs (that you have to use a cheat to do) a long way down and end up in an underground room of halls. Everything is beautifully decorated.

I walk around, finding little rooms big enough for beds. One room has baby stuff in it for when I get married.

The dream ends with me feeling confused. I know there’s more to this place than these halls and little rooms but I can’t find them.
