I had a dream that there was this guy talking on TV, and I was like "that's not Alan Watts, but he sure is talking like Alan Watts!"

Later it was Star Trek TNG and Data was talking like Alan Watts.

There were a lot of "but then, you see, you will come to realize" and suchlike.

In parallel with the Alan Watts shows, maybe on a different nearby screen, there was this Metroidvania game I was playing, and in part of it you had to dive down into this underwater area from two different directions (first from below it, then from above by destroying a bunch of light-colored blocks). I had done this a few times and was getting better at it, and my character seemed to be leveling up. Normally you'd swim through the lower part backwards, kind of dragging yourself forward with your feet, but I got to the point where I could do it forwards, and my character, who was normally a girl in grey camo with a machine gun, briefly turned into several small black bird/fish things. Later, when I was about to break the blocks from above, a bunch of informative text showed on the screen, maybe telling me about new abilities or something, and I stopped playing to go find my camera to take a picture of it, but then my dad changed the input selector on the TV because he thought I was done, and then I couldn't find that screen again.

And while I was horsing around with the TV trying to get my game back or figure out how to get that text to show up again, a small lion started attacking. It had a bunch of bright green and orange in its mane and we called it a Liger. It was attacking a deer friend. So I tackled it and held it so it couldn't attack anymore.

I woke up to Alvin jumping around on me and my phone alarm playing dubstep and Alan Watts's talk about trusting the universe.
