It's been almost exactly two years since the last time I wrote a dream log like this, but either I haven't been having a lot of interesting dreams or I was just too lazy to write them down…I can't remember.
I was Gordon Freeman. I was currently on the run from the Combine, during the events of Half-Life 2. I met Alyx in the same flat I grew up in IRL. It was some kind of small hideout. Three urinals were set up as washing machines. I used one to wash my crowbar (a little tidbit I ‘remembered’ at this point is that I liked to fall asleep, hugging it). Suddenly, a Combine soldier bursts in the door and grabs me by the left arm. I can't fight back, for some reason. The soldier angrily starts shouting that they figured out who I was: a robot. He starts counting marks on my left arm, still holding onto it. ‘100! 200! 300!’ They mark my age. He gets up to 1000 before I chuck him out of the window.
Now, I remember. I'm a robot who's here to get rid of the Combine. I adjusted my body to be human and removed my memories to make everything smoother, then integrated myself into my IRL mother's family, who didn't have a child. While I ‘grew up,’ my ship, parked on the other side of the Moon, has been collecting data and recording everything. I remember thinking I wanted to thank my mother for being so good, even though I wasn't actually her child (she didn't know that, though).
I told Alyx that if she wanted to ask me something, now would be the time, because we wouldn't be meeting again for a while. She stayed silent as I changed my clothes, and then I was off.
I accessed one of the recorded memories from my ship. It was me as a human baby, as my mum brought me into a drug store. I tried to dump data from one of the computers.
And that's where it suddenly ends.
EDIT: Oh, I just remembered that, before having the above dream I also had another one, in which I was playing a VR video game that was basically the staying-up-late game from WarioWare, with Daddy Dearest from Friday Night Funkin', except I was actually trying to sleep, and every time he checked on me, he had the scary face regardless. Oh, and his eyes (or at least little white dots in the middle, FNAF-style) and teeth glowed in the dark.
