02/22/24: Lockdown and Hot Air Balloons
Dream 1: In a training facility for soldiers of the future who are engaged in a pretend firefight against robot targets. It is revealed the robots have real guns and can kill. Soldiers fire back, but robots have projectile shields that prevent bullets from penetrating. Soldiers retreat, a handful make it out. The facility is on lockdown and they need to escape. The facility is a giant tower, and the exit is on the ground floor but robots have blocked elevators and stairs.
Dream 2: Flying in the sky on a rickety hot air balloon with my partner to go to a date spot. We almost fall off several times - there was no basket, just a floor held up by rope. We finally land and the spot is a modern park in a swamp with multiple levels of wooden walkways. The entire space was closed together with several structures built up from the swamp, connected by wooden bridges, and in general integrated with the natural landscape. My partner seemed to be enjoying it, I hated it. There were snakes and mosquitos. At one point, my partner jumped into a mossy, green pond which scared me and I shouted at them to get out. They didn't listen until they felt something swim past their leg. Then they got out unharmed, but their clothes were ruined.
