THIS IS FAIRLY CONVOLUTED BUT I'LL TRY TO GET IT ACROSS AS CLEARLY AS I CAN: I had a very strange dream-loop-reality thing going on at the beginning of the year. I didn't write down a particular dream I had but I did tell a friend about it, because I recalled,
in the dream, that I should tell her about a store I was in
during the dream, because I felt like she would enjoy the store,
thinking that, while I was dreaming it.
The timeline & what documentation I do have is in a couple of texts sent to Mary as the weirdnesses unfolded. I'll post them, below.
But overall, the documentation timeline is 1) I had the dream where I knew I needed to tell Mary about the "dream store." 2) We were then, post-dream, in reality, at her house on New Year's Eve, & I did tell her about the dream. 3) After the New Year's get-together, I begin to watch a show on NetFlix called
YOU, a series I had not previously ever seen. (I can't recall exactly when I started watching the series.)
It was in a (post-dream & New Year's Eve get-together) episode of
YOU that I THEN saw the store that I originally saw in my dream. (It's in Season 1; Episode 3 @ about 13:33.)
In addition, I also dreamed a reference, in that dream, to Virginia Woolf's
Mrs. Dalloway. A few
YOU episodes later, after the "store" dream and the telling to Mary herself on NY's Eve, the reference to
Mrs. Dalloway popped up in that later episode, (Season 1; Episode 5 @ about 22:00) in an even more specific way than what I originally thought. (That being: that I originally thought it alluded to the antagonist being a bookseller, something I wouldn't have known about the
YOU storyline at the time of the dream.)
I can explain that reference in the copy of the text(s), below, which I sent Mary. These texts are the only documentation as to the dream/telling/timeline.
Bottom line: I texted Mary after I'd told her about the dream and THEN had seen the dream elements in that series, to let her know that there were things in the
dream and the series that were relevant to waking/real life. Here are the texts:
