The Dream 2

Steven and Greg Universe were with me, and we were on a holiday in Dubai. For some reason it was all canyons and cliffs instead of skyscrapers, but that didn't bother us. What did bother us was that we were hungry.

We quickly came to the idea of finding a restaurant to eat something. For some reason, there was only one option; luckily, it was a restaurant I knew, and I enjoyed eating there. A waiter came over to explain the gimmick of the restaurant (something with bread and herbs and fish). I thought it was genius. Steven was confused. Greg didn't care.

When the waiter was finally done after a good 15 minutes of talking, Greg decided the restaurant was too slow. I protested that we'd just have sat through the explanation for nothing, he didn't care. We left. Luckily, because this was a dream, we weren't hungry anymore. So instead, we went diving.

Steven and I donned our gear and entered a hole in the ground, and went cave diving. It was amazing. We pretty much immediately found three artificial life forms (kinda?) made by Leonardo da Vinci! The first one was made of those tube-shaped balloons, except they were completely clear. Inside every balloon were bones and nerves, and you could see it all straight through. You could even see ol' Leo's notes written on some balloons in permanent marker. He noted how much care he took to make the ribs asymmetrical, because that was how it was supposed to be. It was really interesting.

The second one was beautiful. A large structure that looked like fleshy coral and horns grew above something that kinda looked like a dried alien skull. Greg commented on how that was what its face would've looked like, despite the fact he was still outside the cave. Then I noticed more marker. Da Vinci lamented about how he failed to fold its brains properly, and I realized the coral was just its unfolded brain. It was really sad, because this one died. (unlike the first one?)

I started realizing these weren't just artificial life forms; they were patients. Leonardo had tried to save them from some horrible condition by taking all the nerves and organs out of their body and preserving them, but it looked kinda weird.

When I looked at the third one, I woke up.
