This is my hatsu-yume of 2026. Not quite sure how to interpret it:
The first part of this dream featured me studying some textbook. It was as if I was researching some indigenous tribes in South America around the Amazon. It was reporting on what we know about them in pre-Columbian times, but on the basis of what colonists had said about them. But here's the thing: it was as if I was reading this, but the "tribes" had been replaced with two different species of clam, or some similar mollusk creature. It was describing a war between the two species and differences in their "cultures," so it was as if I were reading history or anthropology about humans, but about these clams instead. One of them was "wigwam"-shaped and the other had another shape. It seemed that these clam species had something very special about them that deserved attention, as if they were a rare language isolate or some other very distinct and unusual species.
The next part of the dream had me tagging along with a guy and his wife and daughter. I don't know how to describe the guy except saying that he looked and acted like a very stereotypical "soymale," lol. He had suitcases and shirts with soy shit like Marvel and Disney and nu-Star Wars on them. I felt kind of embarrassed to be with them. They were in an airport, moving from the terminal to a small shuttle bus. They were in a hurry. I look at the guy's passport. It looks strange. It says "State: SH." I ask him about that. He explained that this passport always trips people up. It means that his nationality is Taiwan (not sure why "SH" means Taiwan, nor why he had a passport that mostly looked like the US except with the "state" as Taiwan). In any case, I crack a joke and say something like "Oh, you mean it isn't South Harolina?" He chuckles, but it seems like he's heard that one before. We squeeze into the bus. We then get to some place where we get into a rental car, but the car is a heavy-duty offroad vehicle of sorts, designed for tough environments.
We put it to the test by driving through the brush in what seems like the African savannah. There are a lot of stones and cacti, but it doesn't seem like a desert environment. There are several rams out on the plains. Some of them come up to the car and are friendly. At that time, the soymale father pulls out a painting he has transported with him. It is apparently a perfect AI recreation of a Van Gogh piece. It's recreated down to every bump and texture of the original, so it seems like a perfect duplicate. I philosophically challenge him a bit and ask if it really has the same value as the original given that Van Gogh's hand never touched it and it's not the same object. My idea of animism seems to be rearing its head. In that case, I admit that there would then be several paintings that I love but have never "really" seen since I haven't seen the originals. The conversation is unresolved as we arrive at some sort of camping zone with tables. It's a weight loss competition of sorts where apparently the winner will have their own weight loss reality show. The soy guy wins, which is confusing as he is not overweight.
The last part of the dream has me floating through a waterway in some futuristic city. The city looks clean and beautiful. The sky is bright and there are tall buildings but also a lot of greenery. It's sunny but not hot. The waterway seems like a river running through a park. There's a lot of trash on the sides of the river and I'm pulling it out and putting it back on the shore to get it out of the river. There's a sort of voiceover talking to me, as if in my head. It says something like "When the government is slacking, we, the citizens, need to pick up the slack and clean the chemicals out of our bodies of water. I'm moving through the waterway pretty quickly. It actually felt a lot like the part of Ocarina of Time where you drop in the river on the way back to Termina Field from Zora's Domain and swim along picking up rupees.
Interesting pattern: Another hatsu-yume I had in 2024 featured an animal that was in the Zodiac but wasn't the animal of that year. There were snakes in my 2024 dream (2024 was a Dragon year). And now there's rams (sheep, goat, however you translate it) in my 2026 dream (Horse year).
