Had a surprisingly...elaborate dream the other day.
For the record, the dream itself was nowhere near as coherent as my writing will make it seem. Most of it is from the dream itself, or what I remember at least, while the rest will be details I've filled in myself to make it make a bit more sense.
Now then, my dream, like any actual coherent story, had a solid linear plot with a clear beginning, middle, and end. This tale begins in the middle.
Middle: 24 hours to annihilation
Me and a friend stood outside the castle/skyscraper/studio complex(it seemed to change during the dream, but whatever) of a man known as the Baron. For reasons unbeknownst to us, he had kidnapped another friend of ours, a girl I apparently liked (though one I don't consciously know in real life) and had her inside the building. Strangely, my friend seemed to know the place like the back of his hand, saying he knew where and when to go to avoid security systems and patrols, despite me never knowing when he had time to go here or memorize this place considering the kidnapping took place only a day ago. My friend had always said me and female friend belonged together, but he never either helped or got in the way of me trying to go out with her, so it always seemed odd he said that.
Anywho, the two of us managed to make it inside the Baron's prisons and easily find our friend and get her out. She seemed to be acting strangely cold to me however, confusing my friend in particular for some reason. Either way, we agreed to go punch out the Baron for whatever reason. So we went up to the Baron and had a fight with him and won after shoving him out his window and seemingly to his demise. We high-five, and apparently we saved the city from the Baron somehow. However it worked, we left...only for the Baron to climb back in the window, twirling his mustache and leaning back in his chair unharmed. Everything had gone as planned. Sure he had lost his grip on the city(somehow) and he stood to lose a ton, but in 12 hours(apparently 12 hours had passed since we started the mission), it wouldn't matter anymore. Nothing would.
Another note is that randomly during the Middle part, a figure that was eerily reminiscent of Slenderman kept popping up, though he did have facial features, albeit greatly faded. My friend was interested in him and kept urging me to investigate him whenever we showed up, but I refused, he had or friend, why am I wasting time with an urban legend? He was very abrasive in wanting to investigate, but ultimately went with my decision.
End: 1 hour to annihilation
During this time the entire city was celebrating, there was a massive party at the park celebrating the Baron's defeat and supposed death. During this time my supposed crush suddenly asked out...someone else. I was disappointed, but fine if she's happy. My friend however, went pale when she did, giving me a look, then her before walking away. It took me the better part of the hour to hunt him down at the party.
I finally found him, 5 minutes before the hour was up. I looked up at the sky where, for some reason, there were clouds in the shape of the faces of myself, my friend, our female friend, and...a fourth person I didn't recognize. I sat there for a minute before asking him what happened earlier. All he told me was that he fucked up big time. I reminded him of the great stuff we accomplished today and reminded him he should come over and join the party.
30 seconds to annihilation
Me-"Come on, let's go back and party."
Friend-*shaking head* "No point, it'll be over any second now."
20 seconds
Me-*confused* "Party's just getting started bro."
Friend-"Not what I meant."
Me-"What did you mean then?"

Friend-*sitting up and leaving the park* "I'll have to do it right next time."

THUD!
You ever sit in a car and it just suddenly stops, either from slamming the brakes on or from hitting something? This is exactly what it felt like happened, only the entire globe felt it. Nothing was damaged, but it certainly surprised the hell out of some people, some even fell over. Everyone looked around, wondering what the hell had just happened. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until people looked up. ll across the sky were what looked like hairline fractures, as it something collided with the sky itself and cracked it. It didn't take long before the cracks started spreading, before the sky suddenly shattered, revealing what appeared to be a second green sky behind it.
Mass panic everywhere. None of the sky pieces seemed solid and caused no damage, but the sky shattering and the new sky was severely freaking people out. It only took minutes for people to notice that the new green sky was no sky at all. Upon closer inspection, the "new sky" was actually a tightly woven mass of vines, circling the entire planet(somehow we cold still see fine despite there being no sun, but dream logic). A few seconds later I noticed directly in front of me...the air was cracked?
It took only moments, but the air shattered as well in front of me, and other air breaks showing up all over the park as well, behind it a closer look at the same kind of vines circling the planet, dark green with near-black thorns. No sooner had I noticed the thorns than the vine started moving out of the air break, as if if being pushed by something through. I barely managed to move, only getting nicked by the thorns. Sharp and cut me a bit, but the thorns were small enough where I barely even bled, it having just barely even pierced the skin. But holy hell did the cut burn like crazy. After I started finding it difficult to move, I realized to my horror the thorns were poisoned.
Having just been poisoned, I panicked and tried to run,, the ground suddenly started to break open and move of the vines being laid out under the now-missing ground. Unfortunately, in my panic, my reaction time was shot and I slipped, landing back-first into the bed of poisoned vines. I felt the thorns jab me in the back and my whole body started burning. I reached my hand up as my vision went black, the last thing I saw was giant man-sized venus fly traps erupting from the vines, both the ground and air, and chasing after anyone who wasn't gotten by the thorns. I dropped my hand and was dead within seconds.
I then saw the same happening globally, vines whipping out of thin air to get people, with the fly traps hunting anyone who wasn't already gone. People ran panicking before quickly getting snatched and dragged out of my field of view, and within minutes the entire human race was annihilated and everything went black. I then saw the Slenderman-esque figure on his knees, his actions making him seem to be in great sorrow. He angrily raised his fists and everything stopped and he was gone. In my mind flashed one word, and though the figure himself said nothing, I knew he said it somehow. That word was...
Again
Beginning: 48 hours to annihilation
Me, friend, and my crush had all apparently finished a hard day of doing...something, and we were at the park relaxing. The sky was a clear blue, no a cloud in sight, and everything was average as always. My friend had always been incredibly unsubtle about being a wingman, trying to get me to go out with female friend. I never admitted I liked her to her, but she seemed to be hinting at liking me. Friend checked the time and suddenly became very uncomfortable, insisting we leave the park now. Me and female friend were confused and were enjoying the time out. Friend spent a minute trying to convince us when suddenly a claw came down and grabbed female friend, pulling her up to the local Baron's battleship as he sped away cackling.
Why the Baron would want to kidnap her was a mystery to me, friend insisted we need to go investigate the Slenderman-figure. Annoyed, I asked him what the hell some urban legend has to do with getting her back when he punched me in the face, hard enough to knock me out.
Middle 2:Electric Boogaloo:24 hours to annihilation
I woke up in a strange hallway with friend standing nearby to help me up. I angrily declined and asked him what the hell that was about. He told me it would make sense soon and to follow him. Seeing no other path, I did. e walked for what felt like hours before we arrived at a large red door. We went in and inside was the figure...facial features unobscured. He looked oddly familiar, but I couldn't quite remember where(though out of dream, I noticed he was a 4th face I didn't recognize in the clouds). He looked at me coldly, suddenly panicking, saying it's great I'm finally here and that we're running out of time.
Obviously, I asked him what the meant and he noted the world would end again if we couldn't fix the problem and that time was running out. He explained that the world would end because a temporal paradox would literally tear reality apart. Apparently, me and female friend were, in history, supposed to be together for whatever reason, to the point where us not being together creates a large enough time paradox to destroy reality within minutes. Friend explained that the figure approached him at the first temporal break, and would let him retain his memories so he could try again. We were currently on the 13th iteration of this event, for some reason everything we try, the Baron is somehow still able to capture her, and she's back to acting strangely cold to me and chasing other guys after we defeat the Baron, and after each time, the figure has to use nearly all of his power to turn back the clock to before female friend is kidnapped.
After hearing enough, I asked why this was a problem, the figure obviously has a degree of control over space-time, so there shouldn't be any problem continuing over and over again. Apparently, the problem they faced was three-fold.
1. Apparently the Baron is somehow able to adapt his tactics whenever a new iteration happens and friend tries to change things.
2. The figure is having a harder and harder time gathering his energy back after each reset. He can't even manifest himself in our world properly, hence why his facial features are always obscured. Not only that, because of this the resets are getting shorter and shorter. At iteration 3, the figure was able to turn time back a week, giving friend more time to fix things, but the recent iteration he could only go back 2 days. However, this was no longer a relevant issue because....
3. The universe itself couldn't handle the stress of the constant space-time breaks and resets and was about to fracture itself from the strain. The figure estimated that the next reset would be the last, anymore and the universe would rupture and explode.
Unfortunately, desperation had friend consider one final idea. Allow ME to retain my memories. As I'm the one who's integral to the paradox, I'd be best suited to thwart it, and hopefully the Baron wouldn't be expecting it. Sadly, this would come at the cost of friend retaining his memories, so he would be back at square one.
After we collaborated, him giving me relevant information, setting up a way for me to convince him to help me, and the figure readying himself. When the world's end rolled around this time, we were outside of reality and were safe from the annihilation. We shook hand, and I nodded to the figure, as he set in motion one final reset.
Unfortunately, this was the part of the dream where I woke up, so it was never finished.Sadly too, because once I was lucid enough to understand the plot of it, I was genuinely enjoying it until I woke myself up be accident.
For the record, the dream itself was nowhere near as coherent as my writing will make it seem. Most of it is from the dream itself, or what I remember at least, while the rest will be details I've filled in myself to make it make a bit more sense.
