I just dreamed a really scary dream.

梦到脸这里长了一个长长的蘑菇还是痘痘吧。

Then I applied some medicine, rubbing it from the bottom, its root, up to the very top.

Then other places on my face also started growing those pimples.

我在想我是不是这个药有什么问题啊。

I was wondering if there’s something wrong with the medicine.

我怎么越擦越多呀。越擦越严重。

I recorded it, but the lighting was too dim, so I thought, forget it.

Then at that time my roommate also came back.

然后我还想着问他们怎么回事。
Ránhòu wǒ hái xiǎngzhe wèn tāmen zěnme huí shì.
Then I even thought of asking them what was going on.

但他们也好像是对着这个东西，感觉很正常的事情。
Dàn tāmen yě hǎoxiàng shì duìzhe zhège dōngxi, gǎnjué hěn zhèngcháng de shìqíng.
