Uncanny Valley in the Sand

I knocked out at like 7pm and just woke up from a dream where I was in a hot air balloon going over the desert. We descended pretty quickly into the sand and set up a camp for the night. We, being myself and three other unfamiliar campers, had a fire going and set up our chairs. I remember feeling a little weirded out as I did not recognize the other guys, but they all seemed to have features like my friends. The campers’ hair matched the style of my friends in waking life, but their faces in the dream were different. Same body type too. It was definitely an uncanny valley moment. I ended up waking up rather abruptly when I leaned back in my chair and started to fall backwards. It jolted me awake.

I’m curious if going back to bed is going to bring the same characters out, or if they’ve served their purpose…

Goodnight everyone!
