horrible creatures
camel spider version of the adult
There were these new giant bugs that were starting to show up everywhere. In their larval stage, they looked like large roaches. In their adult stages they looked like either scorpions without the stingers, or giant camel spiders. Some had wings that would buzz furiously.
They also multiplied like crazy and would build these creepy nests. If your place got infested with them, you had to take literally everything out and poison-bomb it.
That’s what happened to this coffee shop that my friend TJ Martin worked at in the dream. I went in one day to find a bug nest behind one of the hallway doors. The next day, the coffee shop was completely empty and smelled like roach poison. TJ was behind the bare bar and explained they emptied and then fumigated the place.
Later, I walked into a Greek grocery store with Mia Bhimani. There was no one else around and some of the lights were off. Next to this display of cereal boxes we heard a loud buzzing sound. When I looked down, I saw some of the bug larvae milling about.
I pointed them out to Mia just as she stepped on one in her sandals. We got out of that area, but then saw some of the scorpion-like adults walking around. I shrieked like a girl and the dream ended.
