Nightmare one:

I had the most fucked up dream. I remember being in some town and two girls in the group of people I was with, took my dog and another person's dog. They went into a hot air balloon. About an hour I realized what just happened and started to panic because where would they land? And the police will arrest them and the dogs.

We weren't sure where they were going or when they would come down. I went to the other girl to see what should would say about it or if she had any information. The girl said that the police were aware and the hot air balloon was so far up that they had to use planes to get them down.

The police know about the dogs but they are looking for the owners. The other girl and I ran to the police and told them about the dogs and how those people stole our dogs. The police explained we had to go to the shelter to get them back but wouldn't say which shelter.

This wasn't a good thing because what if they went to the wrong shelter and never see the dogs again.

..... I forced myself to wake up. I didn't want to know what happened after this point.

Nightmare two:

My boyfriend and I were here on this farm and a Giant was hunting us. We had to get off the property and Get to the car across the street.

How we got to this place I have no idea but in real life, we have been exploring the city with electric scooters. So, I figured in this dream we had been exploring the property of this farmland. In the dream, I had the impression that we were supposed to be there.

But then why are we being hunted by a Giant? It was so odd. Outside this giant was 30 feet tall but on the inside of the house he didn't shrink. It was like Gandalf trying to stand inside Bilbo's home, in the Lord of the Rings.

It was weird. Like when the giant is in the house and reaches for you, it's like a hand that belongs to something that is 30 feet tall.

We didn't make it very far in the dream. I'm unsure how long we were even there for. If I had to put a time on it would be about one hour.

Basically in the dream we were walking on threw the farm and we heard this loud noise. We turned around and saw this Giant quickly walking towards us. The Giant looked very angry and charged towards us. We then just ran right towards the house and barged right in.

The family that lived in the house paid no attention to us. It was like a typical Tuesday morning to them. We expected no help from them.

In the dream, my boyfriend had said that we just needed to get to the car which was right across the street from the property. Realizing that the Giant can't touch us there.

When in the house the giant managed to come in the home as well. We hid in places the Giant wouldn't see us. This made the Giant leave the house and roam the property. We came out of the hiding places and as soon as we started moving on a plan to make a line for the car, the Giant was on his way back to the house.

We had to make a plan very quickly because we needed to get out of sight. When we looked outside all we saw was the desert. Yet when we got to the farm, it was full of greenery and forest. Is this an illusion? or was the greenery the illusion?

We looked at each other and decided to make a run for it. Boyfriend crouched and walked over to the kitchen window to see where the Giant was. The Giant was walking towards the barn and about to walk around it in the opposite direction of where we needed to go. He waved his hand at me and loudly whispered for me to run for it. I opened the front door and started to run to the car, my boyfriend was about 10 feet behind me.

Almost to the road and her a loud crash and heard the giant yell. I turned around to the Giant realizing we were making a run for it and is now running towards us. I looked down towards my boyfriend and he was running towards me. He crashed into me and suddenly everything went bright.

..... I woke up.
