This dream was early in my sleep, like 10 or 15 minutes.

In this dream, I was watching some movie with my friend on tv. (this "friend" is some made-up stranger, not someone I know.)

I entered to the living room from a pitch black hallway through an open door.

The movie was playing a scene where a mother and a boy are talking about something.

My friend says "boy legan" as I lose him out of my sight.

I turn to him and ask "What do you mean?"

"Don’t you see? He likes lego and hates animals. So he wants to kill them. Only a legan would want that."

"Why 'boy'?" (Somehow this is the only thing that confused me in his explanation.)

"He’s gender non-confronting. That’s why."

I nodded with a smile. (Dream me perfectly understood that.)

Then he asks from me a pencil sharpener.

I bring out a pencil and a sharpener from my pockets.

I sharpen the pencil and give the pencil to him, the pencil sharpener slowly disappearing as I start looking at him.

He starts to write something on non-existant paper. Non-existant, because the paper is semi-transparent and also disappearing and reappearing everytime I blink.

When he gave it to me, it became fully present.

Only two words: "boy legan" (all lowercase  block letters)

He says: "That's how you write that."

For some reason, I could not look away from the words on the paper. And the paper was getting slowly closer to my face.

As I started panicking and tried to say something…

I woke up.

I didn't feel fear or any other strong emotion afterwards. This in-dream panic only made me remember the dream in detail, especially "boy legan" echoing through my head like some kind of revelation.

I wrote this dream down and got back to sleep.

Why boy as the question, as the scene of mother and boy would be mother and son, so it would be son legan
