Weird dreams

I can't remember most of my dreams lately. A couple I do remember though:

• A few nights ago, I had a dream that we were driving by a Hardee's about an hour away from me that's been abandoned for almost 20 years. I had noticed that the doors were wide open, and I was debating whether or not to go inside and get some pictures of it on my phone, since I had fond memories of eating there on trips downstate... but I was also concerned about getting busted for B&E. I think I ended up taking the photos.

• The other night, I had a dream that we were in Standish (the last town you hit in my area before you get on I-75) and I had spent the last of my money in a thrift store there (which is actually closed in Real Life). Mom was upset because we didn't have gas money, but then I remembered I had $3 in presidential dollar coins. She was upset because she doesn't want me to spend those, but I ended up getting some gas for her with them anyway.

• Last night, I had a dream that I was driving down the road in Flint that goes by Bishop Airport, headed to meet someone at a Bob Evans. I had noticed that just before I got to I-75, most of the land nearby (a cemetery and a Mobil station) had been cleared for airport expansion. And I was wondering how they were going to expand any further, since the road in question had already been rerouted to be butt up against a railroad track in order to make room for previous expansion. (In Real Life, they also tore down an Econo Lodge that wasn't even five years old to expand further!) As I got further down the road, I remember stopping at a convenience store that had several energy drinks in it. But I only had $3 on me, so I kept having to go outside the store and scrape up money in my car. Repeat about two or three times, at which point the c-store worker is a little upset. Also, I had my laptop with me, and screws kept falling out of the bottom.

Do AI's dream of electric sheep?

I was watching one of the worse episodes of Family Guy. And laughing

My dream told a story of some sort, but I only the remember the villain of this story and the details of the villain's demise.

The character was some sort of amorphous blob of an unknown substance.

The character initially had no face, but some how after shooting himself multiple times with with a pistol. Said pistol fired multiple explosive pellets that converged to together to create an explosion. The character exploded multiple times, until the last shot failed to go off as a pellet was missing and the pellets arranged themselves into eyes and mouth.

In addition, the villain wore some magic clock pendulum as if it was some sort of necktie.

Later I as saw through the eyes of the hero, the missing pellet was toss back into the blob and the blob was suspended at the end of the pendulum in a manner similar to that of someone being hung from a noose. Meanwhile, a clock was tolling in the background. Then the pellets converged and the explode the blob for good.

The clock pendulum was reunited with its clock and I somehow the last words I heard before waking up was "Lorekeeper".

The highlight of my dreams last night was one where I was visiting a thrift store with some of my family, went over to the movies section, and sonofagun, I found an honest-to-goodness animated Calvin and Hobbes movie! I couldn't believe my eyes and took a good look at it. It was apparently made in the early 90s by Don Bluth. There was a TV with a VCR so I put it in.

For some reason, the movie started out live action before transitioning into an animated version of the usual C&H artwork. Calvin's parents were away on an errand and during this time, Calvin and Hobbes and made a huge mess in the house which apparently destroyed something highly valuable to Calvin's Dad. Calvin is panicking about what his parents are going to do to him, and Hobbes wonders if this will be the straw that broke the camel's back and Calvin's parents will actually kill them. This does nothing to soothe Calvin's nerves so he tells Hobbes to get in the Time Machine and run away. They pack a few things, hop inside the cardboard box, and fly away to some time when dinosaurs ran around.

They try to find some dinosaurs, only to find an Allosaur and barely escape with their lives. Calvin decides that to avoid being killed by the dinosaurs, he must become one, so he makes the time machine into his Transmogrifier and turns himself into the dinosaur he often imagines himself to be. (And also turns a reluctant Hobbes into a saber-toothed tiger.) Everything's good for a little while, with Calvin picking on all the other dinosaurs and trying to eat some...and then, not one, but TWO nearby volcanoes erupt. Lava covers the landscape and overtakes a handful of dinosaurs. Calvin and Hobbes run for their lives, turn themselves back to normal, turn the Transmogrifier back into the Time Machine and get out of there with little time to spare.

Hobbes suggests that they return home, but Calvin is still afraid of what will happen if he does, so they continue to bounce around various time areas with many of Calvin's alter-egos coming into play (such as Stupendous Man, Tracer Bullet, and a number of others) before Calvin starts to get homesick and returns home. Upon returning home, he has one more adventure as a pirate looking for treasure as he and Hobbes sail the seas on a giant sea horse. They wind up running into a giant sea monster along the way (that eats the unlucky sea horse), but they still make it to shore (er, the kitchen) and find the treasure, a jar of cookies. While in the kitchen, Calvin discovers a note that has apparently been left by his parents, saying that they had seen what had happened and had enough of him, so they had moved away and weren't coming back. This takes a bit of stress off of Calvin for a while...until he realizes that the paper the note was written on is from another planet, and his parents have been kidnapped by Zorks.

Realizing that without his parents, no one will fix anything for him to eat and a lot of other things, Calvin and Hobbes run for a spaceship, hop aboard, and the Spaceman Spiff part of the movie starts. They manage to reach the Zorks' planet where they find that Calvin's parents are next in line to be eaten by monsters. The Zorks won't let them free until Calvin gives up something important to himself. At first it looks like Calvin is going to give up Hobbes (causing a brief fight over which one of them will turn themselves over) until Calvin remembers the jar of cookies from earlier and gives those to the Zorks. The Zorks decide that these taste far better than humans and turn Calvin's parents loose. Calvin is very happy (and at the same time scared) to see them and they return home (to Calvin's protests). Calvin does get in trouble, but not on the level either he or Hobbes were thinking of, and the movie ends with them going to bed.

Still in the dream, I looked up stuff about this movie and found out that Bill Watterson and Don Bluth were apparently good friends, and Bill had agreed to let Don make a movie about Calvin and Hobbes, but under the condition that very few people got to see it. It showed once in a single theater and was thought to be lost ever since. (Bill was apparently unhappy with the final product because of the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane scale skewing too much to the Magic side and losing a lot of the ambiguity in the process.) Not long after I did that I woke up.

Last night was a weird one. I dreamed that my mom, younger brother, and I were watching this horror movie at the theater. It was a collection of six ultra-violent and gory short films. x_x When we left, suddenly for me the doorway turned into a short tunnel that I had to climb, and I fell out into the hallway through the hole that the door turned into.

At what point did the movie turn animated?

If I remember correctly, the opening shot of the movie which showed Calvin's neighborhood was what was live. It turned animated shortly after the camera went into Calvin's house.

..........................................

The other night, I had a dream where for some reason, I was in a wrestling match against Male!Robin/The Avatar on a farm while various Nintendo characters watched and cheered us on. We rolled and tumbled all over the place with neither of us seeming to get the upper hand for a while. After a bit, Robin stopped and asked: "Why are we even doing this?" I couldn't give an answer, either. We decided to call it off, order a ton of pizza, and have a pizza party at my grandma's house.

That was also a pretty good dream.

Annoyingly, other dreams I've been having lately always seem to include Ornes in some way. Something totally normal will be happening, and then that stupid 8-bit tune cranks up and now everyone has to hide from those creepy things.

I keep having warped dreams about going through Flint, where most of my mom's family is from, and where my sister currently lives. In the dreams, I keep discovering boarded up businesses that I didn't know existed (the sight of boarded up businesses is far from rare in Flint, but a lot of them I already know). Or something weird will happen, like an exit ramp randomly being blocked off, and me figuring out how to get back on I-75 if all the on-ramps to it are closed. This particular dream started out normal for that type of dream, with my uncle Don taking me on his motorcycle to someplace on Miller Road west of town. Then it got weird.

I was at some kind of private building that was full of girls who would be ranked on the quality of their feet, on a scale of 1 to 4 hearts (average to great). They showed a picture of each girl, just their face, and the 1-to-4 ranking above them. I really wanted to see one girl who was a 4 because I knew her from school. But I had to get my own feet to be at least a 3 to see any of the girls who are 4's. And I was worried because I tend to have really bad eczema that messes up my feet. Fortunately I found some sort of lotion and a callus remover file thingy to treat them with, and got my own all the way up to 4 somehow. But I think after that, I woke up.

While I actually do have a foot fetish, I found this weird since a.) I never have erotic dreams, and b.) this one wasn't really erotic anyway since nothing actually sexual was involved.

I was in a garden of some sort, maybe one resembling the one near the White House, or maybe I was at the White House garden. There was a mess going on there, and I think there were monsters in a Kingdom Hearts-ish fashion. I found myself not actually there, but now in control of a party of fighters, although I could only make out presumably Riku and Xion among them, while the others I couldn't recognize. After the fight's over, I noticed a save point, and I sent my party over there. But right before my party can even get there, my viewing of them is interrupted by a scene of Maleficent standing over a graveyard that consisted of triangle-shaped stone panels with scrambled names, although I guessed they belonged to Disney villains of some sort. I think afterwards, Maleficent fired beams from her staff that shot downwards to the panels, and I was thinking to myself, "Crap, she's resurrecting the Disney villains."

I woke up in bed muttering all of this to myself.

I was swimming deeper and deeper into a dark trench, and was wearing this super poofy, princess like dress. After swimming down for a while, I found a small crevice that led to a cave.

After exiting the water, I saw that the walls of the cave were covered in glowing crystals. I touched one, causing it to glow brighter. I then went back to the water, put my feet in it, and saw the moon's reflection. I looked up, and saw that the cave no longer had a ceiling, and I was looking up at the stars.

I had a normal dream turn into a lucid one. I grew large black-and-white wings to escape... something that had been chasing me.

And then sat around and tried to think of something to do now that my problems within the dream were solved.

I couldn't think of anything until I woke up. So, no ninja dance party, no going on crazy adventures with a fire-breathing kitten, nothing. Just me and my magpie wings and my complete lack of ideas.

Eärendil gets assimilated by The Borg. Yes I really dreamed that. And I hope nobody nowhere decides to make it a plot bunny because that would scare the living daylights out of me.

I had a fairly long dream where me & my family met the cast of I Didn't Do It at Dairy Queen sometime around Halloween. If I remember correctly, I sat between Piper Curda and Sarah Gilman. The restaurant was out of fries, so instead we got to eat chicken wings & jumbo shrimp in some kind of herby pesto glaze and watch the old Horton Hears a Who! animated short on one of the restaurant's TVs. I think we all went to the pool and some sporting event afterwards. My grandmother popped in out of nowhere and made a joke about how Maroon 5 is overplayed.

Well this was odd...

At some point last night, I dreamed I was playing Xenoblade on my 2DS...somehow. (I haven't even played a Xeno game before.) Shulk was by himself wandering around a field with orange grass in the middle of the night. He was looking for Dunban and Riki. After wandering for a while, he bumped into a strange man who offered to let him sleep in his very large tent for the night. Shulk agreed and went in. In there he found his friends among the large amount of people in the tent. Someone played a guitar as everyone went to sleep.

The next morning, Shulk and his friends prepared to leave and asked the guy what the quickest path to some place I can't remember was. The guy said they had to go left at the end of the road the tent was beside. So the three headed down there and hung a left...but something was wrong. They ran into several dozen enormous tanks that were too strong for them to stop ("Looks like we don't have a choice!") and realize that the guy had been steering them in the wrong direction. Shulk wound up being knocked unconscious forcing Dunban and Riki to carry him as they hurried back he way they came...and that was difficult too, because the Tent Man and everyone else who had still been there lined the street with sniper rifles trying to shoot them. Apparently every one of them had been Evil All Along. The three ducked into a strange door to hide.

As Shulk regained consciousness, Riki pointed out that they had entered a portal to a world filled with giant man/hom/Nopon eating pelicans and that they were in danger of being eaten. Somehow, it turned out that Shulk somehow had costumes of said birds on his person, so the three of them disguised themselves as they tried to find a way out. (The door they entered the world in had vanished.) Things went well, and the monster pelicans ignored them as they explored the village that the pelicans lived in until Riki's costume was ripped off. The pelicans surrounded Shulk and his friends and asked what they were doing there. They explained...via a song and dance number.

"I'm Dunban!" "Me Riki!" "And I'm Shulk, wielder of the Monado!" "We were on the run from snipers so we ran right through the do'...."

I can't remember all the lyrics, but eventually everyone (including the pelicans) were dancing and singing on top of and inside buildings, rock structures, and nature scenes, looking badly chyormed in like a bad 90s music video. Last lyrics I heard, for some weird reason, were talking about the weather in the USA.

"It may be cold in the Carolinas, but it's surprisingly warm in Oklahoma and Kansas! If you think that's weird, wait'll you hear about..." (Beat)

Riki: "NEBRASKA!"

"Nebraska?!" Everyone yelled, the music number ending. "HUH?!" I cried in confusion...both in the dream and in real life. I 'huh'ed so loud I wound up waking myself up. I said "Huh?" again and began laughing.

Now that was a fun dream! The only downside I can think of is that, at no point, no one ever said that they were "really feeling it!"^note  Okay, that was a joke, even without that it was one of the funniest dreams I've ever had.

Not me, but my dad dreamt that we watched an R-rated adult version of SpongeBob SquarePants. I don't think I'll tell him that this exists.

I was hanging out with Abby Sciuto because we were really really good friends in the dream, and she took me to get a tattoo. I got one of those white ink tattoos, of a spider, at the base of my neck.

I had two of my weirdest dreams last night.

In the first, I discovered that one of my windows displayed daytime on one side and nighttime on the other. My teacher then picked up me & my family and drove to our local bowling alley, and on the way there we discussed a bird show at the zoo. When we got there, it turned out to be flooded and infested with rattlesnakes. We had to fight off the snakes like in a video game, but the flooding was never fixed. We then went to a restaurant in the bowling alley (that fortunately wasn't flooded) with one of my friends (who, in real life, is a bit too eager to speak his mind but generally isn't mean) and the cast of I Didn't Do It. My friend was so rude and obnoxious to them that everyone except Piper Curda left. Whenever Piper or my friend went to use the bathroom, they came back wearing totally different clothes (there were even two Pipers at our table at one point). My friend then passed an open carton of coffee creamer to my dad (who was sitting at the table next to us) and said "Hey, want some beer?". My dad then examined the container and explained that someone fed it to their dog so that they could kill them and use them in meats (burgers, sausages, pizza toppings, etc.). The waitress then came to place our orders, and I ordered the breakfast (which included bacon, eggs & toast). When I got my food, the toast was green and tasted funny. It turned out that my meal was full of mold from all the flooding. My dad didn't believe me at first, but when I showed him myself, he was mad. While we waited for the issue to be sorted out, Piper felt bad for me and gave me her number. I thought "This is it! I'm finally going to date a celebrity!" and then I woke up.

In my second dream, I went to my gym class, but it ended up starting an hour and a half later than it usually does. When the class did eventually start, I heard dialogue from Star Wars Rebels (which I don't watch) on the radio. It turned out that I all finished my exercises early, so I watched an old Treehouse of Horror episode on a giant projector screen. When I got home, it was still daylight, even though the class ended at 9:45 PM. For some reason, the pool we had at our old house before we moved was in our backyard. When I went in, there was a polar bear in the pool. As I swam, I kept wondering how the polar bear didn't notice me. When I got out of the pool, my mom, my puppy and the polar bear were all staring at me. I figured something bad was about to happen, so I tried to wake up. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally woke up and got ready for the day.

This was a Dream Within a Dream thing.

It started out and I was on ebay, trying to buy one of those little divided containers so I could put homemade lip glosses in it. And somehow the listing got switched as I clicked "Buy It Now" and instead of the divided container for a buck and a half I ended up purchasing these stuffed animals from some Romanian kids' show for $150 plus $42 shipping. And I was trying to contact the dealer and tell them I hadn't meant to buy that because they'd switched the listing on me.

So then I woke up from that and went to check the computer to make sure I hadn't actually purchased weird stuffed animals, and found an email from my mom. Apparently she was all the way across the country to help out some long-lost relative but I shouldn't worry because she'd be back in time for work. So I turned on both of the televisions that were somehow in my room (I only have one TV but I have two computers). And my mom kept trying to get to me via the computer so I could get on this chat thing with her but I hadn't used the chat thing in years. Finally we ended up talking on the phone and it turned out she had a fever and was just going to come home (from across the country) and go to bed.

Unfortunately I forget most of my dreams, but here's one I could at least recall something from:

I dreamed that I was in a large house, maybe it was a mansion (I often have dreams about getting lost in big and unfamiliar places). I was being stalked by a polite yet creepy weirdo who I suspected was some kind of rapist. While I was using a urinal, he tried to push me into it. For some reason I was hoping that if I was sentenced to death, they would kill the pervert as well.

Last night I dreamed that I met up again with Sashja, the WoW-playing lady I had an enormous crush on, and I think she liked me too. Unfortunately, the dream ended right after I told her how I felt. :(

The dreams involving crushes are always the worst. Especially since I've never actually experienced romance.

It was a good dream, actually. I just wish it ended better.

Eh, my dream involving my celeb crush (post #5443) turned out okay (except for the part where I ate moldy toast).

At some point last night, I dreamed that I was in some sort of weird horror movie where people were building something on some sacred ground that would tick off the people who lived there and cause them to come from beyond the grave and attack everyone in the town...but only the people who had tattoos. Since I apparently had a tattoo of Yoshi on my arm, I decided to get out of there.

Before I left, I went into the local Walmart and got a Nintendo DS game in an unmarked orange box that an employee told me was the Super Mario 64 remake. I went home, put the game in my 2DS...and saw that it wasn't that game at all. It was a King of the Hill point-and-click adventure game! There were a bunch of scenarios based on episodes of the show (many of which weren't actually real episodes) where you could play as nearly all the main characters, such as all of the Hills, Luanne, Dale, and even Bill and Boomhauer! I was playing as Hank in a story about Peggy trying an unconventional way to cook a turkey (namely rubbing two paper clips together to somehow cause and explosion that would instantly fry the turkey) when I woke up.
