Ohio. Cincinnati, I think. A city in Ohio. A school in Ohio. An apartment in Ohio. I have never been to Ohio in real life.
A college campus that is a combination of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and Oregon State University (OSU).
Lincoln, Nebraska. I lived there for five years.
My workplace, but it looks different, like a school I attended as a child. I’m not sure which school. But it feels very familiar. Maybe it’s a mishmash. There is a gym, a theater, a hallway, wood, an office. It is on a block surrounded by grass. Sometimes I live nearby. There is lots of grass, like a school with large playgrounds/fields.
A mall with an aquarium on the top, large enough for a whale.
Seattle, but more as a concept than a place. Ohio is more real in my dreamworld, and I’ve been to Seattle but not Ohio.
A children’s museum in Seattle.
A highway to Seattle. A highway to Alaska. A hilly winding road covered in ice and with wild waves.
A mall with a bookstore and a messy department store.
A strip mall with a toy store.
A different strip mall with a small grocery store down a set of stairs.
Hawaii. An ocean cave in Hawaii. Waikiki but all of the buildings are flatiron types.
The Pacific ocean.
Grocery stores. Large, small, warehouse, bodega. I genuinely love grocery stores in real life.
My apartment complex in Georgia, the center of the complex with a pond and pool and trees.
My grandparents’ house. The dream version is usually pretty close to real life, sometimes with more storys or with a larger footprint, like the configuration is the same, each room is just larger.
Holocaust concentration camps, though not in a long time.
The world of Xena.
The world of The Hunger Games.
Classrooms.
Andrews Hall, the English building at UNL, usually the basement floor or the reading room on the top floor.
Places I was shot/at in dreamworld: in a car parked in a grocery store parking lot, in a farmhouse, in a restaurant, in a mall.
