I dreamed I was a robot. I didn't really look like one though, I was humanoid and nobody knew I was one. But I was faulty, since I was frequently forgetting everything that happened during the day and returned to my basic schedule.
I was out on the balcony and was looking around. Our neighbor from the apartment next door saw me and was interested, because she was suppressed by her parents and wasn't allowed to see boys. But she snuck over by jumping balconies and introduced herself.
We talked quite a long time, she snuggled up to me because I was such a big man and she fell for me. My robot self was sort of oblivious to her. But I appreciated the company. I then needed to go grocery shopping and told her we could go together.
Streets in the future are a weird deal, with eight lanes for both directions, and every car going whichever way it wants to, since it's all automated. I had to steer myself as I didn't have a big enough car, and it was really scary to say the least. My car was basically just a seat, she was in the luggage department. We were driving at break neck speeds between all the futuristic lorries and busses, and at some point, one of the blades from a bus (all vehicles were sliding on what looked like blades) pierced by side deeply. But we managed to return safely.
At home she managed to convince her parents that she needed to take care of me because of my wound, which wasn't true as I was a robot and I didn't even know I was cut, but she didn't know that, and neither did her parents, so I guess she wasn't lying. She was ecstatic because it meant that she could sleep in my bed with me, and she promptly stripped naked and cuddled with me. She kept putting objects into my wound since I told her it didn't hurt, which it didn't but it still felt weird. Then she stripped me down and started playing with my accessories, but I remembered that I had to take my medication so I didn't forget everything again, and I excused myself and went to the other room.
On the way there I forgot and went into routine mode again. I took my pills, walked into a different room and fell asleep. She thought I felt uncomfortable and didn't want her so she took her clothes and went home. On her way back my opposite door neighbor saw her and got jealous of me since he thought we had did it.
The next day I was confused and anxious, which I always am after forgetting. I was afraid of what I had done the day before, and slowly opened my apartment door. My male neighbor burst in. I was so caught off guard that I just said hi.
His jealousy had turned ugly overnight and he was going to make me feel it. He asked "How was last night" and similar things about her and got angry when I didn't answer. I hadn't met her before and had no idea what he was talking about. Instead I got scared and wanted him out of my apartment. He started to take things and say degrading things about them ("what an ugly vase", "I have a better laptop than that"), threw stuff on the floor ("Ooops, SORRY"), and generally misbehaved. I think at this point I was no longer a robot in my dream but only a man who had a bully in his apartment. Dream Logic.
In vain, I started to hit him. I was very afraid. But he seemed unfazed and continued. He took a notebook full of drawings my sister had made for me and implied that he was going to use the sharpie in his hand to "enhance" some of the drawings. At this point he received a punch in the nose, after which I took him in a chokehold. In this moment, my girl neighbor and her mother entered the apartment to check up on me. Seeing us struggling, they proceeded to berate me on rules of conduct and that I was very rude. But to me they were strangers who were trespassing, so I called the police (who knew of my condition) and they sorted it out.
What felt like a week passed and I was walking home with my sister and a childhood friend, Nina. We were going to go to my place to pick something up and then proceed to a party my sister was having at her huge apartment. But when I arrived at home, my apartment was stripped clean, no furniture was to be seen, everything was gone. An eviction notice was hanging on the door stating that my stuff was in a storage compartment and I was to find a new place ASAP. I was shocked but after reading the notice I realized my landlord was my opposite door neighbor. I asked my sister if I could stay at her place and she said "sure".
We went to the party and enjoyed ourselves. There were so many people, and after a few moments I gave up trying to remember their names. I sat down on a sofa and looked around. I noticed a girl standing in the kitchen, back turned toward me, who had blonde hair that she dyed to look like a rainbow, was wearing a silly hat, a pink hoodie, tattered jeans and turquoise shoes with glitter on them. At this point I was having an lucid dream and tried to brace myself, because the person I was seeing was my ex-girlfriend.
I turned to my sister and just told her "and dream-you probably has an excellent reason why you invited her", and she just replied "yes I do". I turned back to my ex and saw her moving towards me. I didn't bother standing up and just said "hi". She stood behind the sofa and was leaning over my head. We chatted for a bit. At some point I asked: "so why did you leave me?"
She sighed and just smiled. She leaned forward, took my hand and replied "was that really me or did you just forget? You left me. You thought I wouldn't fit in with your friends, that I would clash with your family. You preached love to everyone while wallowing in self doubt. You lost yourself trying to prove yourself that we'd fit together. And you had the guts to blame me when I left you for someone better." She still smiled. "I miss you when you weren't trying to make 'us' work. I miss getting to know you in London. But I don't regret leaving you. And you should too."
I woke up
