Weird dreams

I fed a tiny piece of bread to a seagull the size of a dragon

Is it bad if I read that as "a dragon the size of a seagull"?

So, bit of an odd one again.

We're in an apocalypse and all sorts of things are happening, but there's one person with me and my niece, and we're just sitting there, watching the world be destroyed, all calm, and not even caring.

The last thing that happens is we turn into some sort of blue goo, and are promptly dead, and get washed away.

It wasn't even distressing, just odd.

I was cast as The Phantom in a lesbian version of the Phantom of the Opera, and all of the special effects were real.

I'd watch it.

Christine's actress was probably my favorite part.

I was on some weird reality game show thing, which was kind of like Survivor except it took place in this weird house (which like the houses in many of my dreams had a physically impossible floor plan) and I think there were two eliminations per episode because it was a short-run series.

And I was trying to get ready for the challenge and worrying I'd get eliminated because I didn't know the Japanese word for "butterfly" but one of the hosts pulled me aside and wanted me to be in cahoots with them.

I don't know if I want to know what that was all about, but it was pretty funny.

The one video game that gave me nightmares as a kid was Chocobo's Dungeon 2. In that game, the shopkeeper was the Grim Reaper, named Life Keeper. He'd attack you if you stole from him or stayed on one dungeon floor too long, complete with scary music.

The worst part, besides all that, w as that a weaker but still strong version of him called the Loot Keeper appeared in random treasure chests and randomly-generated cards. I kept a Doom Card in my inventory at all times just so I'd know what NOT to use but usually I'd drink an Amnesia Tonic and my memory of my inventory would be wiped :(

Those nightmares have morphed into recurring dreams of being chased by Death. In my latest dream, he acted as a light source so i couldn't run too far ahead or I wouldn't be able to see. It was nervewracking. Another time Death was a cute fairy, who said she was preparing me for something. (Death tended to switch genders based on what form it took.)

Had three dreams in one day, the first was....private and included some...relations with an ex, and I'll leave it at that. The second incuded me working at a Hot Topic with Jhonen Vasquez who was happy that even though I was peppering him with questions about his work, they were actually thoughtful and intelligent. I can't remember the third one but rest assured it was a thing.

I had a dream I was doing some kind of comic or something about a character of mine. Except that character was pretty much invented by the dream.

They're pretty adorable too.

I'm having a lot of highly enjoyable nightmares as of late. My latest one involved a man who had his lower jaw removed and his mouth forcefully carved, bent and stitched into the shape of a keyhole. First thing I did upon waking up was doing a Google search to see if Clive Barker's Hellraiser universe happened to feature a cenobite named Lockjaw (it didn't, so now I call dibs ).

Everyone began to say "feckin'" instead of "fucking" all of a sudden.

Father Ted repeats!

I wasn't even aware it was actually in use until I looked it up just now.

Okay, this one I had wasn't weird so much as something I wish would happen in real life, but here it is:

I got to interview Matthew Mercer. (voice actor for Chrom, Levi, Leon S. Kennedy, etc.) Keep in mind, I've never met him in Real Life, but he seems like a cool guy. It went well, surprisingly enough. He was really nice. We had lots of fun, me asking questions and him joking around with me. It ended with him giving me a hug. Awww. I don't even remember what it was for, but I don't care. It was worth it.

I figured out how to suck my own dick and promptly used this ability to get off to a plaid-wearing rhinoceros-Triceratops hybrid. What.

Ah, a few ones lately.

In the first, the Xenomorphs evolved far enough after getting to earth that they are now basically regular humans, albeit with the original hierarchy intact; family is all-important. Also, every female was a total Sexpot and looked like they were all Ms. Fanservice. all I remember was getting it on with one of them.

The second dream is more of a mix of me being half-awake (or asleep) and falling asleep again. I have a tendency to not fully wake up and anything that I dreamed about I assume was real. In short, I can remember needing to get dressed and almost borrowing my brother's Tripp NYC pants (which is funny, 'cause that's my style-my brother is a jock. There was also a (dream text) from my buddy saying "cancel all evening plans, Misha is in town tonight and we're meeting him", Misha being a guy he met over the internet, and then it was evening later (while I was totally asleep) and I was driving some sort of fast, sporty car down some stairs, out to a balcony (a huge one) and drifting in the rain down through an office building.

Two of 'em:

• First was Brad Jones showing me an abandoned warehouse in Detroit. It was supposedly used as storage by Toys "R" Us at one point and was unused. But when I went in, there was a lady in her 40's who saw me and said I could take whatever I want from it. She gave me a gooseneck lamp (that looked just like one my mom threw out a few weeks ago because the cord had frayed) so I could look around better. It didn't work in the first outlet I plugged it into, but it did in the second. I found a whole bunch of old phone books, some random toys including some Giga Pets and Tamagotchi, and a shelf full of children's novels about animals.

• Second was that I was at a family-style restaurant in the town I used to live in. "Weird Al" Yankovic was doing some sort of seminar there and I kept trying to ask him questions but he kept ignoring me. Finally, after it was over, he apologized for not seeing me, and I asked if I could have a couple pictures with him. He agreed, and made funny faces in both of them.

I recently dreamed that my cat Simba (pictured to the left of this post, at the moment) and I were the lone survivors of a zombie apocalypse in my home town. Somehow... I managed to fend most of the zombies off. While some "Touhou Judgement in the Sixtieth Year ~ Fate of Sixty Years" was playing in the background.

Last night I was still in high school, but there was a former teacher there who was being imprisoned in the computer lab for treason, smuggling, and other crimes. She was at the school because I dunno. Anyway, someone tried to engineer a breakout for her, but it went wrong, and my classmates and I found ourselves trapped in the room with her. There was a big fight, and I actually managed to punch her face a few times in self-defense (I did wait for her to throw the first punch, however) before the police arrived.

I managed to slip out to avoid being questioned and then I watched a terrifying lightning storm happen in the sky above Pizza Hut.

I can explain the restaurant because I'm going to Pizza Hut sometime today, and I guess I was looking forward to it. The rest? Hell if I know.

Mine last night was so disgusting I don't feel like explaining it.

Was it more disgusting than the one I posted above?

I was on the toilet suffering from bad diarrhoea. And I mean bad.

Grossed out yet?

I don't remember most of my most recent dream. Had something to do with a mediocre game that was meant to be used with the NES Zapper, but somehow through some Techno Babble it was a trainwreck of a port. It ended with me playing what looked like an Atari tank game from top-down view that was entirely in blue, only to have it flash repeatedly until it slowly evolved into the kind of graphics one would see today.

I just woke up from an EPIC dream.

The first part was about an obscure comics crossover from the 80s involving a coalition of DC and Marvel supervillains teaming up with video game villains. There were four main parts to their plans, each involving a specific object that would spread chaos on earth until it was destroyed—there was a comb that opened portals, and something that summoned demonic cats, rats, and dogs. And possibly evil clowns.

The weird thing, though, was that the video game villains weren't limited to any one time period and villains from times later than 85-ish could appear. This prompted the superheroes to seek out the games' heroes to help them fight off all the villains.

Then this somehow switched to a NOVEL of the experience minus the comic heroes and villains, with just the gaming heroes and villains. It began when a gaming fan saw the Protomen, listened to the CD, and was pulled into the hero-villain war.

I remember Dr. Wily having a major role, as did a "false Protoman" who was a copy of the original and unsure what his purpose in life was. There was one part where Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was in this inky cave place (in his Epic Mickey incarnation), and he had to be rescued before he was completely forgotten.

Another thing I remember is that the Earthbound chapter was the only one portrayed inaccurately, though it stuck true to the themes of the games—the problem was that characters were named things they weren't, and apparently in this universe Earthbound was Famicom-only. I remember Ness being named Nezz, Paula being named Paule, and I have NO idea what Jeff and Poo were named. but it did give a really cool description at the end where the kids were described more as their archetypes rather than their names. There was talk of rewriting it to be more game-accurate, too.

I THINK the villains' plan was to send all of the heroes to a limbo dimension where they would slowly be killed, or just outright destroying them in some cases—Bowser, Ganon, and M. Bison were pretty pragmatic about that, while Wily was more interested in studying the effects of the dimension on robots. I remember one sad part was when the real Protoman got Mega Man out of there, but the portal closed before he could get through, and I think he was destroyed ;_;.

It made me remember a lot of games I loved to play, like Spyro and Crash on the PS 1, Mega Man, Zelda, and Mario! In the dream I met with the author who wrote it and wasn't at all surprised when she told me it was based on real events.

I remember a part of the climax being Wily pulling a cheap shot to try and destroy false Protoman, and he had to give up his life to bring the real one back. It was so sad. ;_;
