Kusunoki

I was in sitting in class, with a blanket over my lap. It was very dark and raining outside. A teacher (he was my debating coach irl) came in and talked about something I don't really remember. Then the dream faded into another. I saw another old teacher of mine. She has always been my favourite teacher and a very poised lady irl, but she quit being my teacher years ago so it has been 7 years since I last saw her. In my dream, I ran into her as she was getting out of her car. She hadn't aged one bit, and as we chatted, she kind of implied she was actually a vampire (wut).

Last night I had a dream like this:

A man that looked like a less unhinged version of Bucky Barnes and a woman that looked exactly like Natasha Romanoff stole the body of an old man, dressed in very tidy tweed and wearing shiny leather shoes. Apparently they were after something hidden in the secret compartment in one the shoes (not that I know why they went to the trouble of stealing the entire body when they could've just taken the shoe). While they were making their getaway in a van, the woman fumed at the man for not changing the pillowcase from red to something plainer, saying how they now looked like a beacon for their pursuers (not that I know how a red pillowcase in the back of a van would do that, or why there's a pillowcase in the first place). Then the woman said in Scarlett Johansson's husky voice, "I feel myself getting back in the game. I've been away for so long."

Then suddenly the van turned into a sedan in one of those dream skips, and one of my friends in real life was sitting squished against me in the backseat. He was a short but good-looking guy and pretty popular among girls in the department of Chinese medicine (yes that's what he studies). "Bucky" is still the one driving and "Natasha" is still sitting in the front. Then the car entered an outdoor carpark, and I saw a middle-aged woman walking with two young girls, and they all had beautiful long thick hair done in a bizarre hairdo. And they were all in swim suits. Natasha was like, "For god's sake, can't that hag dress her age?"

The car stopped, and I opened the door next to me. For some reason the carpark was filled with girls from the department of Chinese medicine, and they were glaring daggers at me when they saw the guy pressed against me in the backseat (along with the dead body).

Then I woke up.

I was playing a board game with a few 'friends' (people who were my friends in the dream, but who I don't really know in real life). The board game was about football (soccer to Americans), with numbers all over the place, in no logical sequence. I rolled the die and didn't know where to move my piece because the game made no sense whatsoever to me, and one of my 'friends' were like, "No you idiot, you go here!" And I was like, "Wait. Why?" I woke up before he could explain.

Definitely read/watch Ajin. Nagai Kei is a sociopathic protagonist who bases his actions on logic. He kinda loses some of his cool in the second season of the anime, but that's because the anime starts deviating from the manga. But manga Nagai fits your description perfectly.

That's a good book!  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did

Finished it quite a while ago. I did enjoy it. It's a nice unexpected twist

Now I'm 1/3 through East of Eden by John Steinbeck.
