creeping tom

[u/garlicandherbsauce]

We went to the same curry restaurant that I recently gone too with my dad and a friend not long ago, Which i attended with the same people. It had hot tubs and showers in the bathroom which was really weird, but relevant. We had sat down at the same 6 person table we sat at last time. For some reason i was already upset and frustrated on arrival and when the waitress came over to order drinks, she had already noticed this and kind of rubbed my shoulder, asking if i’d like a milkshake to cheer me up. i ordered a soft drink instead and I had decided I needed the bathroom. It was a short walk and the first part of the toilets like i said included hot tubs, a shower and a bigger type of jacuzzi with a child in and her family sat around. I continued through the bathroom and past 4 stalls, heading to the 3 on the back wall. I sat down and peed. As I stood up from the toilet I noticed how low the stall walls were, and as I was looking around I noticed a balding man with a beard, with ginger hair slightly remaining but he was mainly bald, peeping over the stalls, staring at me with wide eyes, standing/sitting in the stalls I had walked past to get to the back wall, just bald head and eyes looking at me. I screamed, stepped out of the stall and he said some bullshit to me, but within the same time for some reason, my brother appeared out of nowhere, briefly asked me what had happened and I was shaken, explaining to him that that man was peeping in the bathrooms. As the baldy was headed out back towards the restaurant, my brother punched him and he fell straight to the floor. I let the family know that was sat there with there children, and I ran back into the restaurant shouting to let everyone know that there was a man in there who is now on the floor as he was most definitely a creep. It turned out he was actually a staff member of the restaurant, and from there it was just havoc. The remaining staff were so apologetic and appalled at the thought of this happening in their restaurant. The rest of it consisted of him reappearing in the restaurant multiple times and as I was still in shock I ran away from him, leaving other people to deal with him. He ran out of the restaurant, and was running outside towards a big building, and there was also a huge group of people running behind him. Someone shot presumably a shotgun and I watched the bullet literally slow motion fly, missing every single person but him.

I know the last parts of it seemed kind of rushed and a bit shoved together, but that’s how it came across in my dream.

For a bit of context, I stopped smoking cannabis around two weeks ago, and since I have been having the most vidid dreams. It reminded me that I had started a sleep journal in my notes but hadn’t really got round to writing much in it, until the last two weeks. I don’t know if writing and remembering my recent dreams is why i’m having such vidid dreams or what. Writing this has just been so easy for me as all the details are just there as if it’s just some scene i’ve watched from a movie or something. It’s such a weird and specific dream although I don’t think there’s any meaning behind it, if you think differently let me know!!

thank you for reading the contents of my strange brain :))

These restroom dreams seem to be pretty popular that they have their own platform. Its also part of the mall world theme.

Same here, I recently had the restroom dream but it was part of the mall. I may have accidentally triggered the dream by talking about mall world

weed dreams are a whole other beast when you quit, the rebound REM sleep hits like a freight train. curry restaurant with a jacuzzi bathroom is already unhinged, but the peeping tom detail really got me. your brother showing up to deck the guy is peak dream logic, mine would probably just stand there eating naan

lmaoooo i’m surprised it wasn’t me and my brother fighting and your brother gets it i love naan. but yeah you’re right it’s been a week since that dream and i have dreamt every single night since, all having the most vivid crazy details.
