Swords. Usually mine and several others. Maybe I am a bit nuts you know.

90% of the dreams I remember involve at least one of the following:

  • Being late for work. I mean really late, and the Oh, Crap! moment when the "FUCK I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK RIGHT NOW" always hits like a fucking thunderbolt.
  • Being at the mall, and either being lost or searching for something but not knowing what it is.
  • Exploring strange corridors.

How dare you disrupt the sanctity of my soliloquy?

Me, locomoting (shut up; it's a word now) in ways that human legs should not be able to achieve. Either I'm leaning so far forward while running that my face is scraping along the ground, each step is launching me an impossibly great distance without achieving more than a few inches of height, or it's something utterly ridiculous like rolling sideways while keeping my whole body perfectly rigid. On second thought, "rolling" isn't the best term. More like "cartwheeling without using my arms or legs at all."

[up] Oh yeah, I remember one dream where I had to roll on my side all the way home from the shops... crossing several roads. It made absolutely no sense.

Me being late for something. Seriously, every other dream has me being late for an exam, an important meeting or large gig. :|

In a broad sense, fandom. Seriously, virtually all my dreams lately were fandom-related in some manner. It sucks because I can't do the 'write a story based on a dream' thing unless it's a fanfic.

There were some recurring elements, two of them if I remember right. They haven't appeared in a while, so possibly it's the same as Loni's nudity. cool

Nowadays it's mostly video games I've been recently playing.

I also tend to have a lot of dreams where I'm either still in school and have signed up for some class and completely forgotten to go to it most of the time, or I've taken a second job and forget to check the schedule and go to work.

Malls show up in mine a fair bit too but they tend to fall under the "impossible or bizarre floorplans" thing.

For some reason a lot of my dreams end with me being unable to move, my perspective flipped to that of a lying down position despite me not laying down. I only ever find this irritating, as if I know that I'm about to wake up and find the news most unwelcome.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.

Wind.

I dream of wind quite often.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

Sometimes I get dreams when I go through one situation, wake up, fall back asleep, then go through the same situation with a different outcome.

My dreams mostly seem to be set in or around my primary school (or at least something based off of it, considering how frequently the environment morphs or changes). Interestingly, I don't ever remember my current high school appearing in a dream. The closest thing would be the same style of desks appearing in a completely alien classroom.

I also remember that when I was younger, I very frequently had dreams where I was constantly hovering/swimming in the air. These also took place in school, of course.

My dreams usually have one of these outcomes: Something I wish would happen, something I hope doesn't happen, something that seems like it could happen (Which in some cases they do..), and something that would never happen (i.e literally impossible, like finding Spongebob at a gas station or smoking a joint with Paul Mc Cartney). The actual synopsis of the dream usually differs, though.

Nothing, actually. Whenever I sleep nowadays feel no different from being unconscious. The last thing that I remember when I wake up is the darkness after I closed my eyes. It feels as if I have hours each night missing.

In my dreams, I tend to see a lot of weird, seemingly endless suburban neighborhoods.

I also get a lot of dreams where I'm playing a video game that either didn't come out yet or never existed.

Class schedules. I usually dream about not having enough credits to graduate or having accidentally forgotten I had a class for the entire semester (and therefore failing it).

Alien geometries within impossibly large structures.

For some reason, my dreams tend to end with me looming at my computer screen.
