Japan in a Dream Manufactured for Weirdos
March 15, 2023
I had a dream that I was in Japan
A city, Tokyo I think
But for some strange reason everyone there was American
And my parents were not there, but they allowed me to go, so I went
And I stayed with a large group of people at the Hilton motel
Including Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer of Weezer
We stayed on the first story of that 4 story motel
In our room there was a living room with a sofa, a kitchen,
and a dining room that had stained glass in it
Rivers Cuomo gave me a menu and the other people staying with me got the menu as well
However, River Cuomo wanted money from me, 300 yen, so I gave it to him
When he was making the group breakfast, I decided to go outside on the sidewalk and sit down near a bedfull of plants
There was a homeless girl who looked to be in 7th or 8th grade
And I talked to her
She told me her story about being homeless
Out on the sidewalk I also saw a boy I knew carrying a younger boy on his back
In this dream he was without a home as well
Imagine living in that hell
Then I went back inside to the hotel room and Rivers Cuomo demanded 300 more yen from me
I thought I had already paid, but I gave more to him anyways
I was distraughtly upset that i had to pay that much money
despite having 10,000 yen
It made me fearful that I wouldn’t be able to buy things I wanted
I was bored
I wanted to see the city
The lights, the leveled arcades, Harajuku street, the vending machines, the gashapon machines, the shrines, the temples
Yet here I was in this boring, large hotel room with a man who sang in Weezer, charging me extra for my breakfast
But breakfast never came and the group went walking and saw a parade with high school students from my school representing Louisiana State University
The color was purple like the actual Louisiana State University color
And the high schoolers were all girls on the float
They were in sparkly, Broadway-esque leotards and headed into a theater and I followed them too
The girls in the glamorous leotards formed into a choir and started to sing
However the words in the song seemed to be narcissistic and rude
They sang “What a [female dog], You are a [female dog], You are all [female dogs], You are a bunch of dumb [female dogs]”
and so on and so forth
I had come to see a choir sing beautifully, not a college being irresponsible for what teenagers were singing
This pissed me off to the point where I gave the choir of women in sparkly leotards the finger
And I decided to hold it up until they saw it
I was so angry at them
I had expected to go to Japan in the dream seeing people nicer than in the United States, but all
I saw were American teens being rude and I decided to be rude back,
like an elementary schooler in the playground
