I remember in my dream I was on my laptop in my room. I was doing some research about those expensive human-woman like robot companions they’re making that cost about like $100,000. You know those robot girls? So I was doing like a bit of surfing about that because I was curious. And then, when I looked at a specific robot, I happen to see that it was owned by a company called “Dajana‘s robots” or something like that. I don’t remember the last word it might’ve not been robots. It might’ve been something else, but I do remember that the company name was “Dajana’s *blank.* and I remember feeling so shocked. I remember I was spiraling. I was like there’s—what? You mean to tell me that Thom Yorke’s wife owns some robot AI building company? And I did some digging. I learned in my dream that apparently Tom had bought out the company. So she doesn’t even own it. And that that made me laugh that made me be like, “HA. You don’t even own it. Where are you gonna go, what are you gonna do if you get divorced?” You know, like out of spite. I’m thinking about it now, I think it might’ve been called the “Dajana’s parts.” I don’t remember correctly. Anyway, I remember outside my room, my bedroom door had a window and it was early in the morning like 9 AM. It was sunny outside. And it was some sort of zoo exhibit? Only I was the animal in the enclosure, the enclosure being my room, and the animal being myself in my “natural habitat.” And I saw a lot of people like walking outside my bedroom door, like you know, just congregating as if it was like as, if it were a zoo. And guess who I see. Suddenly, I see the Thom and Dajana walking up to my “exhibit.” I look at the window recognizing her face, and suddenly I get the thousand yards stare. I remember she holds up a camera in the window, and she asks if she can take a picture of me. Me having just woke up and it being 9 AM, look absolutely terrible. My hair is a mess, I’m in my pajamas. It’s not pretty. So I shake my head no, both out of casual denial and fear. I looked to Thom who was standing behind her briefly, who wasn’t doing much. Dajana got the message and left with Thom, turning away from my bedroom door and walking around a bit. I immediately felt a sense of regret because they noticed me, and they wanted a picture of me? How could I say no to that? (it was more about Thom standing outside my room that it was the John asking about a picture) Though I noticed that they were lingering. Suddenly, they returned to my room and I don’t remember giving explicit consent to Dajana to do so, I just stared at her from the window. But suddenly, she opened the door to my room, and she just walked in out of nowhere while I was still in bed, while my room was somewhat of a mess. And Thom? He didn’t enter the room. He just stood outside doing and saying nothing. Looking at me. I couldn’t help but blush and get shy because as you know, I have a crush on him. So I would get very shy and nervous if a crush was just watching me outside my bedroom door. I was occasionally glancing back at him as his wife looked around my room. That I understood, as it would be very weird for a grown man to enter a teen teenage girl’s bedroom. I remembered Dajana was scrutinizing everything in my bedroom. She was talking, too, but I don’t remember the things that she was saying. She eventually approached the windowsill of my bedroom. There she noticed that I had one of her pieces of merchandise which up until that moment, I didn’t even know I had because I myself didn’t know that I even had that product. It was a circular tin container, with the top containing a sticker label, saying once again, “Dajana’s Parts.” I remember she looked at that little piece of merchandise I had, and she felt very flattered that I owned some of her merchandise, despite me, never even knowing that I had anything like that, or never even buying anything like that. So I just stood very, very confused. I also remember getting nervous when she got closer to my laptop and phone, because if she was gonna start scrutinizing things, that would be the last place that I’d want her to because she would see all of my little fantasies and rockstar smut. But I just sat in my bed and watched her as she walked around. Remember, she asked again if she could take a picture of me and I said “ sure, but let me just change my shirt.” She goes into my dresser, and she picks out this green t-shirt that I’ve never seen in my life. She tosses it to me, and then I remember, “ wait a sec I’m not naked. I don’t need a shirt.” so I don’t wear it. Because I remember I was wearing a navy blue long T-shirt with a graphic design that was primarily white and red. I don’t remember if she took the picture or not. But I do remember that around my room, I had pictures of me, my family, and one of Thom and DJ together, that she looked around at like it was a gallery exhibition. Eventually, she said goodbye to me, and left my room and returned to Thom’s side. My heart sank for that brief moment I saw them walking together, but I was more confused about the incident and it’s entirety than that. So, I got it from my bed and I took out my phone. I mounted it to a tripod I have. And what did I do? I started filming a video diary entry about it, Ricardo Lopez style. And I remember I was very hyped, confused, and intrigued. I said to the camera, “ you’ll never guess who just walked in through that door…” and then cue me talking about it to the camera. Then, I woke up. But not in real life. I woke up in my dream. And the first thing I did was take my phone and start writing to you about it. And then I woke up for real. And now I’m writing to you about it.
Your dream is a rich tapestry of creativity, self-awareness, and unprocessed emotions, and there's a lot to unpack here. Let’s start by breaking down some of the significant elements and themes.
Researching Robot Companions: The act of looking into these expensive human-like robot companions may symbolize a deeper exploration of relationships and companionship—particularly in a world increasingly influenced by technology. Your curiosity about these robots could reflect feelings about loneliness, desire for connection, or even the commodification of relationships in contemporary society. Robots representing idealized companions might indicate an aspiration or longing for a perfect relationship, which could be emotionally safe but also detached from reality.
Dajana's Company and Thom Yorke: The presence of Thom Yorke and his wife Dajana adds an intriguing layer. Thom Yorke represents a strong figure of musical creativity and emotional depth that you may admire or have a personal connection to, possibly fueling a crush. Dajana, in contrast, may symbolize aspects of the relationship dynamic that induce feelings of inadequacy or jealousy. By finding out that she doesn't own the company, you might be projecting a desire for empowerment over situations in your life—perhaps questioning the power dynamics in relationships.
Your Room as an Enclosure: The imagery of being in your room—like a zoo exhibit—illustrates feelings of vulnerability and exposure. It suggests that while you’re actively demonstrating your individuality (your "natural habitat"), you also feel scrutinized by the outside world. This duality of wanting connection and yet fearing judgment plays a crucial role in personal development, especially in teenage years.
The Photography Incident: The request for a photograph indicates a desire for validation and recognition. Your conflicted feelings—wanting to be seen yet fearing judgment—suggest a deep-seated anxiety concerning how others perceive you. This could be reflecting your own insecurities regarding self-image and the fear of not measuring up to perceived standards of beauty or social acceptance.
Dajana’s Scrutiny: Her examining your room parallels how we often feel judged by those we admire or idolize. The potential fear of her discovering personal fantasies on your devices alludes to a fear of having your inner self exposed to scrutiny in real life. The merchandise she finds serves as a tool of recognition, a moment of connection that, despite the chaos, affirms your interest or allegiance to her brand or image.
Recording a Video Diary: The act of documenting your experience might represent a need to process events in your life or an impulse to express yourself creatively. This reflects a desire for validation of your thoughts and feelings, wanting to share your experiences with others, especially as they pertain to your personal growth and aspirations.
Waking Up: Finally, waking up within the dream before waking up for real points to layers of consciousness where you are actively processing your thoughts. It can signify a desire for awareness and comprehension of your feelings regarding relationships, identity, and how you engage with the world around you.
In essence, this dream exudes a significant exploration of personal identity, emotional vulnerability, and the quest for connection in an ever-complex social landscape. It invites you to reflect on how you perceive intimacy and admiration—both for yourself and from those you idolize. It encourages you to embrace your authentic self while also understanding the fluidity and often imperfect nature of human relationships.
