(Aryalat’s notes: This was a dream I had in the night of the 26th to 27th of February. Sadly, some of the details are quite fuzzy, so it might not make as much sense as others I have posted here.)

(Aryalat’s notes: I don’t believe I was a good person in this dream either, and depending on your POV, I myself might be considered another supervillain too. IRL I’m nicer, or at least I hope so.)

The dream begins with my girlfriend and I staying in my parents’ flat, with my parents and my sister gone somewhere. In this dream I had mind powers, and I was involved in a program to, let’s say, control some supervillain’s behavior. Using my mind powers, I basically had them under my control, and I using them to do my house chores and such. There were in total 5 of them, IIRC. But one day, my mind control over them started flickering, until it failed one by one. The alarms in my head started blaring, and all hell broke loose. My girlfriend and I were suddenly trapped in a house with 6 supervillains, as my control had collapsed from the actions of another person, that came to rescue the original 5 from me.

They wanted revenge. One of them grabbed my girlfriend and I, tied us up on the big bed of my parents’ room, and decided to play a game with us. She grabbed a number of cross-shaped daggers (8-10?), and we had to answer some quiz questions. If we got it right, the bed would get stabbed. If we got it wrong… you guessed it. When she formulated the first question, I started to panic because I didn’t know it, but my girlfriend knew it and we survived. Them she knew the next one, and the next one… Thanks to her, we both managed to end the game fine, and she released us begrudgingly. That was part of the game too.

When we got untied, my girlfriend and I hid somewhere and she showed me a light-blue liquid in a pyramid flask. A teleport potion. We would both drink half, and it would take us… somewhere, away from there. We took our swigs, waited for a few seconds… and nothing happened. We started panicking, this was our escape plan and it was ruined. We decided to sneak around the house a bit more, and eventually got into the kitchen. We heard a woman explain to another that she should not take a healing potion in her presence, because her powers rendered most potions useless. We knew then that she was the one at fault. Before she could notice us, I grabbed a small teddy plush from her purse, a memento of her late infant daughter, and threatened to break it if she didn’t release her powers. (Aryalat’s notes: I know, it was horrible, I’m sorry!) She was crying but agreed, and immediately after we teleported away somewhere.

We arrived in the night in some kind of town. Clearly the teleport had gone weird, since part of the dye of my hair was now creating a weird pink splotch on my face and left hand. I noticed that I still had the memento, and since the woman had kept her promise, I vowed to keep it safe until I could return it (as we had teleported immediately and could not leave it behind). We walked around the town a bit, and we eventually learned it was a small german town somewhere in the middle of the country, with a name I couldn’t pronounce (Aryalat’s notes: I should have been able to somewhat pronounce it if it was really german, I have no idea what it was). We were quite lost, but after walking around the train station we ran into my parents and my sister. They were terribly confused, but talked nicely to us (Aryalat’s notes: fiction, IRL that would not happen). After a while, they took us to their hotel, so we could get a room for ourselves.

On the way, we got ambushed by another group of supervillains, coming out of a lake. One of them was very dangerous, with the power of creating sound shockwaves with his voice, so I attacked and managed to kill him by removing his throat. Sadly, with too many people around, including my parents and girlfriend, I gave up the fight and had to play another game. In this one, a twisted space that moved automatically was always looping, and I needed to figure out how to break the loop by exchanging the position of some of the sections, and time-loop others. I was halfway thought this puzzle when I woke up.
