I am a nanny hired to watch over two children- a boy and a girl. They live in a big Victorian mansion located in the woods. The children seem normal enough and ask me to play hide and seek with them. I immediately become nervous, as I suspect the house is haunted. Sure enough, I keep seeing fleeting images of a woman wearing a long, turquoise dress. Her hair is grey and tied up in a tight bun. Her face is pale and the features are blurry. I never see her for long, mostly as a blur in my peripheral vision. They tell me she is "mother." I know that she is a ghost.
I tell the children to keep playing while I step out of the creepy house. In the backyard I see a large, glittery lake. The water is a crystal clear, glittery blue. The water is so deep that the bottom becomes murky darkness. Swimming all throughout the lake are mermaids with shimmery blue tails and hair. They are singing and doing flips in the water. I jump in and float while they swim around me. I think to myself that I could get some really cool loot if I killed one, but they have 300hp, which would make them very difficult to kill (I must be playing too many videogames in real life).
The dream cuts to the children and me walking into a small, dark shack. They tell me this is where their father moved to after he separated from their mother. The inside of the shack is dimly lit by a single candle. In the corner of the room I see their father, a tall, handsome man. He smiles at me and the children. I politely ask if I can use the bathroom. The kids lead me to a small room and point me to the toilet. It is absurdly small-maybe the size of a toaster. There are buttons on the side that indicate whether the user is going to poop or pee. I select the pee option. The lid opens on the toilet to reveal cloudy water. I'm disgusted by this, but I really need to go! The only way I can figure out how to use it is to squat over the toilet, kind of straddling it, since it is too small to be sat on.
As I'm peeing, the father comes in to talk to me. I'm mortified that he can see me peeing! I try to pull my dress down to cover my privates, but I keep peeing while he talks to me. He smiles and says that he's an accomplished farmer that specializes in "sustainable lamb farming." He tells me about how cute the lambs are. I can tell he is flirting with me and trying to impress me. I tell him I'm familiar with farm animals, as my sister has several cows. "Have you ever seen a baby cow? They're pretty cute, too. Like your lambs." I can tell he's impressed with my experience with cute farm animals. I'm pleased with the attention he's giving me and seem unphased by the fact that he's talking to me while I pee.
