Dreamspace 20/09/2026 This dream is a little dark. [TW: DEATH AND CRIME.]

I had two dreams, one was another nightmare
One was just me at work. That was it. That was the whole dream.

The other, I was in London, with two other dudes. we were walking through a particularly bad part of London. There other 4 dudes following us, talking to us. Some where dress very Jamaican, others like improper "Roadmen", others just in regular clothes, Nobody was the same race. I kept mocking their accent and telling them to leave us alone, coz them "following n holding out hand is kinda gay, and that we don't need no batty man, but thanks for offering bruv. I'm jus no' Into man like dat, innit." until they eventually left us alone. But while we were safe, one of our guys was a little further ahead of us. We turned around and saw him stabbed in the neck. We ran away trying to call the police who ofc course weren't answering. I then woke up.

I had a similar situation in London a few times irl.
Once I was with people, once I was alone.

The first time I was alone, strolling through Leicester Square, towards China town. I've got a friend that lives nearby there, so I made that journey half a dozen times by then. A group of young guys, all dressed in black, and tho mostly afro or jamaican, some of different races, tried to sell me cocaine, and I politely declined, said I'm not a powder kind of guy. One of them, started to reach for his pocket, threatening me but the rest of his group started getting angry with him, so they sent him away like a king sends a peasant. It was kinda funny.
"Nah bruv, wo' yew dewin, 'es jus tryinna gough to his mandem 'n' dat, 'e don wan' sniff bruv. Go 'ome bruv, 'llow it. 'llow it bruv, go 'ome"
Poor guy got humiliated xD
One short conversation with the guys, and we were actually being kinda friendly with oneanother. Talked about where I was from, what music we were into, what drugs I DO do, which... well, that convo was pretty short. So then we said our goodbyes.

The other time, I was with two other people (Also criminals btw, One was a British drug dealer (and a shit one at that), and the other was an Chinese/Indian sex offender in 3 different countries (I didn't know that at the time)) who were my housemates. The dealer was renting one of the rooms, He'd not been living with us up until that point. He'd met The Sex Offender and that's how it came to be. I'd just come home from work, Smoked a cigarette, and was about to head up to bed, When the Dealer showed up, pissed off and pissed up drunk as his gf cheated on him. So after about an hour of trying to calm down someone who is definitely on cocaine, they decided to go to confront his gf. Somehow I got roped into it, and on the way to the Dealer's gf, we stopped by the gas station. Another two white guys came over to do the same thing as us I suppose, fill up on gas and buy some ciggies. After some small talk where the Dealer was talking about "Wanting to Kill someone." He not-so-soberly bumped into the other dudes, to which they felt the need to pull out a... box knife? and the other guy a different knife. The Dealer and his 6ft7 oversized mfin as got tense, the SO who was a former rugby player, also tense as shit.
Me: Not a criminal, just a very depressed ex conscript, and I remember not even giving a shit honestly. I had no family, I had no will to be here, all I wanted was cigarettes, and this cashier does not get paid enough to deal with a knife fight in front of active CCTV no less. The whole scenario was dumb. I had a swiss army knife on me, I didn't even think about it until after the situation ended. Idk what ended up happening other than the two armed men put their improvised weapons away, and got back in their car and left. I guess they saw me look at them, then calmly look at the camera, then the cashier, and got the message. The SO had a more "HOLY SHIT" reaction, while the Dealer was acting all tough, yet nervous. Me, I was more unimpressed than anything.

There is more to this night, but that's a story for another day I think.
