Ever since I got COVID the way I dream has changed. It's not every night, but it's frequent. I am not involved in the dream at all: it's like I'm watching TV. But it's always something that doesn't exist. Like last night I dreamt there was an MCU movie I had missed that was a team up between Captain America and Loki.
It was sort of like the bastard child of Dark World and Ragnorok, but Steve was there. And it was the perfect reluctant team up of convenience, but eventual mutual understanding
And I always wake up from these dreams so pissed because I really like the movie (or episode TV, or on rare occasions fanfic), BUT IT DOESNT EXIST AND WILL NEVER EXIST.
One time it was a totally original universe with all original characters like it was just waiting for me to make it a novel or screenplay but I woke up with the barest fucking memory that it was like an action adventure thing with a monster romance element like no shit that's my jam.
Like I loved Loki trying to get one over on Cap because he thinks Steve is like all the impressions he does of Steve but Steve is smart and was one step ahead of him
