farlaPossibly the covid booster is partly to blame.
It was a sort of pastoral movie, where there was a young father and his five little girls living in a nice house somewhat on the outskirts of the rest of the town, up on the lower end of a mountain. There was some gossipy drama between him and one of the more queen-bee local women where she just didn't feel like he was being a good neighbor, like the time there was some event that involved a lot of syrup getting spilled through your typical string of unlikely events probably tied to the five little girls, and he didn't pay for it.
And the narration then said something about how, you see, he couldn't, because he didn't actually have the money.
Because...
He was actually some sort of undead thing covered in a glamour so he seemed alive, and that glamour applied to everything around him. So he didn't have to do things like buy real food or heat his house. Four of the five little girls had already starved/froze to death without realizing it. When the reveal happened and the glamour stopped, they were standing there on the path at the end of the part cut into the mountain with higher rock sides and bushes, right before it turned into grass (but it was also flanked by blood-red autumn maple leaves all the way down), with a bit of snow around, waxy and bloody and faces starting to not sit right on their skulls, and the last one wasn't sure if she was going to die anyway if she left, and if she left she'd lose everyone she knew and die at some point anyway, so she chose to stay with the rest of them.
Then some sort of reporter visiting the town who'd made friends with him, was very forcefully invited up into his house, and the last bit of the dream was about the reporter guy knowing that staying up there would kill him before long, and the last bit of the dream was trying to figure out if he wanted magical immortality trapped in a rotting corpse and was sincerely going along with this, or was only pretending to go along to get a chance to escape before he died, and if that was even going to happen or if he would be trapped here and die without realizing it only to be thrown out again later for not being grateful enough.
