Weird dreams

The only thing I remember from my dreams last night was at some point extraordinarily ticking my dad off to the point that he was swearing like a sailor and punched me in the face. It was a little upsetting.

Fortunately, he isn't really like that in real life.

Last night I dreamed I was taking lessons to learn how to race hot-air balloons, which in my dream world seemed to be Serious Business.

Myself and Claudia from Warehouse 13 were trying to figure out some mystery involving markers in a hotel room. Along the way, I had discovered that one of my aunts had written some songs on a famous person's album, and had even made a Wikipedia article about herself, which I was reluctant to tag for notability lest she find out. I also found a copy of the article under a bed, printed on dot matrix paper.

On the way out of the hotel, I call one of my other aunts and say something I forget about, lying that I'm in Flint. I end up in a small zoo that you have to walk through a wading pool to get into. Along the side of the wading pool are two shops, one of which looks to me like an old Dollar Tree. I get out of the wading pool, realize that my trunks have stuck to me from the wetness, and dry myself off after I see my mom and a couple friends from high school doing the same with colorful towels on the walls. Then I go into the store and find a ton of CDs. Two of them are Radney Foster albums that I don't remember him reccording. I'm about to take them when a guy behind me says that Radney is his cousin and he wants those albums, so I give them to him. Behind the CD rack is a bin of 45's, most of which are damaged, but I can't find the shopkeeper to tell him. They're also filming some sort of Mythbusters-type tests there, and replaying them for me in slow motion… with the audio still intact so everyone was sounding like dying cows on the footage. Oddly, I never got to the actual zoo part.

I go out of the zoo and on the way out, pass an ice cream shop selling a product that was like Dippin' Dots, but more cylindrical. I wanted to have some, but I didn't have enough money… until I realized that the chocolate flavor was only 99¢ for three scoops. When I got back outside, it was pitch black. I couldn't see a thing because the streetlights were out, and was worrying because I was also in the city. Finally, a bus drove by and shone its headlights enough for me to get back to the motel.

Once I did, Claudia was gone, but there was a crazed Hare Krishna or something, and the hotel room had been broken into. My sister was there now, and she was trying to recall a similar situation she'd been in with her Sharpie markers. It ends with me, her, and Claudia playing out some fantasy story with anthropomorphic markers trying to get through TSA so they can get to Disney World.

Somehow I end up on the highway between my former hometown and Alpena. Mom keeps thinking a police car zooming by is going to pull us over, but he isn't interested in us. We also discover a new "Interstate 50" along the shoreline, but it only goes northbound.

THAT ends with me in some sort of comic/geekery convention that looks so different from the few I've been to. One guy has a bin full of comics, one of which is some sort of thing drawn by Jeff Smith, the guy who did Bone. Another is apparently a fan comic based on Warehouse 13, set in the future and called Warehouse 22. The next booth has people lining up for pictures of themselves with costumed characters. I want to get in line because I want to get my picture with Baymax, but I get distracted by a fountain with apple cider in it. The cups are paper cups in some kind of wicker holder, and Faith Hill's "Mississippi Girl" is playing before I realize I've cut in line to get some cider, and there's more cider in normal cups for people who don't want to disturb the people getting in line photos.

Next, I see my friend Randy, who drew a furry comic in the 80s and now runs a small comic publication in Flint. He's sitting on a couch, calling me out for cutting. I tell him that I tend to get so focused on one way to get something that I forget that there is often another way. He understands, just as I start pulling something out of a nearby fridge. He knows that I'm starting a comic of my own, and says that the paper is doing a summer camp theme. I say that I don't think my characters would work in a summer camp setting (the setting of the comic is mainly home and work). So he suggests a horror title that another artist does in the comic, and I say "Well, I'm not sure, because I'm not really a fan of—" And then my alarm goes off.

I just woke up from a dream that was a remake/enhanced version of Mega Man II for the Game Boy. Crash Man was still the hardest boss in the game, but the Wily Walker had also gotten a serious upgrade, mostly because he kept hiding under a lava flow and trying to burn you with it by jumping up/down.

Also for some reason Dr. Cossack was a fortress boss, his battle theme was Red's from Pokemon Gold/Silver, and he didn't have any armor—all he did was run back and forth with a spread shot gun, but it was still really difficult because of an uneven floor, the spread shot, and collision damage. Go figure.

Tango was there too for some reason. She was even on the title screen, reflected in Quint's visor.

There's a The Big Lebowski sequel, but for some reason it revolves around The Dude being lost in a giant prison-like maze with no idea how he got there. I kind of remember a scene where he finds someone in a cell and opts not to free them, but for the most part, it's just him walking around this huge set alone. Oh, and I did not immediately realize it was a dream afterward, so my first thought upon waking up was "Man, what were they thinking with that Big Lebowski seq- oh wait, that wasn't real, huh?"

There's this one dream I remember having when I was a kid. It was an alternate ending to the movie version of The Witches. In this version, the Grand High Witch exploded (in a strangely clean explosion). Then a bunch of kids were shouting happily (children were the eponymous witches' targets, after all), and they raised a victory flag made of that funny-looking frumpy nightgown you see in the old cartoons. Here's the twist: it turned out the story was being told by one of the three kittens from The Aristocats. The other two thought the story was dumb. At least O'Malley liked it.

I dreamed that I was in a world that resembles Disney's Bambi,Happy Happy Clover with a mix of Maya the Bee. I remember talking to these two squirrel who look like hamsters from Hamtaro or a rather obscure anime/manga series "Hamster Club" and the hamsters from "Puku Puku Natural Circular Notice". When I woke up, I was thinking why isn't this an anime yet? It could be a homage to 70's anime like "Bannertai" and "Maya The Bee".

Speaking of Disney, I once had a dream about a Disney Massive Multiplayer Crossover long before I found out about Kingdom Hearts. I dreamed that I was an orphan that washed up on a mysterious island that was inhabited by all the characters from all the Disney Animated Canon movies (up to that point in the franchise's timeline anyway); Hercules and Megara were the ones that found me. We had all sorts of adventures together. One time we fought Count Dracula.

That sounds cool!

While on he subject of Disney dreams, there was this one dream I had back when I was...maybe nine or ten. It was some story involving a number of Disney characters (many of whom were from movies made during Walt Disney's lifetime, like Bambi, Snow White And The Seven Dwarves, Dumbo, and the like, as well as Winnie The Pooh and Piglet. Bambi seemed to be the main character, and the plot involved many of these characters making a journey into some rather ominous woods to find and rescue the forest animals from Snow White.

The story was rather dark for a Disney story. Characters wound up dying (including a rather unpleasant sequence where a young deer wound up being attacked and eaten by the bear from The Fox And The Hound) and soon everyone was so scared they took off out of the woods, and wound up coming across a strange portal. They went in... and. It was apparently Disney Heaven, all the characters who died were alive and well, and Bambi was reunited in his mother. The story (and dream) ended with a picture frame appearing around Bambi's head as he talked with his mother while flying around on the Magi Carpet from Aladdin.

There were a few different segments to mine. It...I don't know. I just don't know anymore. I'm thankful my mind is...creative, but...yeah.

So, the first one, it was all Paradox Space -y, what with the whole 'Summerteen Romance' arc. I spent the whole schoolday at a soccer center working on a box or something that looked like it had panels from the comic drawn on it, but I hadn't finished by the end. And I was apparently supposed to feed it to a cow?

I figured I wanted to stall giving it to the cow to the last minute, so I went to the change room with Karkat because why not. It...was a lot bigger than I expected. And it had both boys and girls in it.

There was this gross thing that happened with a girl. Not at all sexual, but a bit squicky. Do not read if you intend to sleep! Or maybe my standards are too high. I don't know. Apparently, she had a sparkle stuck in her boob, so she tried spraying milk out of it to get it out.

After that, I was told I could keep working on it until it was done, so...yeah. That whole scene was pointless.

Also, apparently there was a ridiculously dark and gritty backstory for how Summerteen Romance came about, probably inspired by Interstellar? For whatever reason, the trolls were lost in space and time, and they could either die or make a deal with Scratch to have their minds wiped and possess other bodies. Yeah I don't know either.

And Now For Somethting Completely Different. It turned out the entire next Gravity Falls episode...was a trippy dream sequence, which is a bit meta, if you think about it for too long. The art style was completely different, and hurt to 'look' at. There wasn't even any characters until I fast-forwarded to the 3/4 part, where there was a frog, in visible distress, getting eaten by a stork. I turned the TV off and wondered what the hell that was about.

And Now For Something Completely Different again! There was a store. And it had a half isle where 'wax figures' (really just everything on the shelves) came of life. They went insane and did stuff. Thiis wasn't really too noteworthy, until the next part, which seemed to be a prequel to it. Since it technically occurred after the first one, the main character realized that it was inevitable for them to come to life, and stole a glass figure because why not. And then later, when they went on a rampage, he turned into a wax goldfish.

THE END.

Last night I had a strange, yet beautiful dream. I was in the house of a girl I know since years ago in early hours of the morning and both of us were watching something that used to air on Cartoon Network years ago: The programming block Little World. It felt very nostalgic, and as the dream progressed I've witnessed images from my childhood and early teens. When I woke up, I started missing the girl and the programming block.

My brother was a rockstar, and had just sold his first album.

Mr. Krabs (yes, the one from spongebob) tried to profit off of his success, but failed miserably because he bought out Kay's Jewelers to do so- and the store location was just awful for business.

I had a case of the stacked dreams early this morning. Each time I woke up, I was in the hotel I was currently sleeping in in real life, only for word to get around that the weather was really nasty and that there were tornadoes everywhere. The way the dreams ended was different each time, but every time I (supposedly) woke up, the whole thing would start all over again. I finally caught on when my parents showed up, and I realized I was dreaming this whole time because my parents weren't actually with me in the hotel, and managed to force myself awake.

My grandparents used my kiddie bath crayons (which I don't even own), and Slender Man turned into an evil hippie with a big afro and a face.

I dreamt the next DKC game gave Donkey Kong spider powers

Spider Kong! Spider Kong! Does what a Spider Kong!

I dreamed that my mom and grandmother were playing Boggle in the afterlife, and then that I was sharing a bathroom with someone (either my dad or brother I think) and trying to find where they hid all of my things, while there was some antidepressent commercial talking about this woman who was depressed about not being able to get pregnant and she took these pills and accidentally injected herself with Hollandaise sauce and didn't care.

I think there was an animal buddy that was a spider in the SNES games.

Also, last night I dreamed I was outside a meh-looking hotel, the parking area had plenty of debris where the cars should stand. My family went elsewhere becasue I prefered to stay... and then I realized I was naked, and some people were layghing at me. I quickly entered the hotel and then my room. It all happened during twilight time.

I dreamed I was sitting on my parents' bed, having a friendly chat with Bill Cipher.

And my dad was sitting next to me. He couldn't see Bill... and was somehow not concluding that I must be insane from my conversation with what appeared to be empty air, and my explanation that "there's a demon inside my head, or at least that's what it seems like, I guess... ?"

Holy shit. I just had one of the strangest dreams I've ever had, but it accomplished a level of storytelling I never thought I was capable of. It was this weird mix of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane Schizo Tech inspired by Doctor Who and a little bit of Harry Potter, with a slight reference to the evolution of the relationship between Sasuke and Itachi in Naruto.

Basically, long story short, there's this Stable Time Loop, where everything keeps looping back to "my" second day in undergraduate, where this really strange shoot-out with lasers happened in the Dean's office. Everything in this time loop, from the anti-racist social commentary, to the fireworks, to the interaction with season 1 Walter White, to the short film my two friends and I made on the one iteration where I didn't go to college, was all triggered by one of three different versions of me. Think of it like the Time Turner sequence in the third Harry Potter book, only adding another level, much more interaction, and my brain came up with this entire story, back to front, in the 3 hours between going to sleep and waking up to make this post.

Upon the third iteration of this time loop, I realize, both via having lived it three times (the first was implied to have happened, as the dream began In Medias Res), and with my dream subconscience manifesting as a character to help guide me (with a friendly "I don't think you are supposed to go down that stairwell), which I realized was because the previous iteration did it...
So, everything that happened in this one strange day, triggered by this instance of me getting chased out as unwanted and running into this rip in space/time, was because I needed to learn two lessons:

• The importance of waiting and listening to the things that go on around you.
• Love yourself. No one is capable of understanding and loving you as completely and thoroughly as you are.

I met three contestants from the current season of The Voice at a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed pool. We ate burgers & shrimp skewers with a weird salsa-cotton candy condiment at the pool bar and watched episodes of the show. We saw the episode where Squidward discovers Krabby Patties, but this version had an alternate ending where Squidward's love of Krabby Patties starts the apocalypse.

What happens during a fever dream: Gems randomly fusing with other gems because... Gems.

Last night was mostly just rambling through one thing and then to another. The part I remember the most of, though, was an episode (or maybe even a movie) of Clarence, wherein Clarence, his mom, and a bunch of friends were going on a road trip across the country. Every time they made a stop, they bumped into some sort of crime ring committing crimes that Clarence somehow kept managing to prevent from happening.

Eventually, these criminals realized that Clarence was getting in the way of their dirty work and began following he and the others in their journey across the country to bump them off. The action climaxed somewhere in Wyoming. Clarence wound up wandering off, during which the criminals captured everyone else, tied them to a post, and prepared to run them over with a train. Just when all hope seemed lost though, Clarence showed up out of nowhere, transformed into a giant cactus monster, and punched the train so hard that it exploded. There was a brief Disney Death moment for Clarence, but once he woke up, everyone celebrated by going out for ice cream. It was heavily implied, however, that this whole thing was just a dream that Clarence was having after falling asleep in the car.

In other news, I got a needle stuck in my foot and met Luffy, and Lugia became playable in Super Smash Bros. (He was, of course, high tier, and the alts I remember seeing turned any blue areas on him, pink (aka. Shiny), teal, orange, as well as having Shadow Lugia as an alt.)

I really need to spend less of my free time writing fan fiction.

I was riding on the back of a Dragonite with one of my Oc's, talking about the economic policies of the Unova region. I don't even.

Well, I had an extremely bizarre dream last night. In it, something had gone horribly wrong at Pillsbury and the poor Pillsbury Dough Boy had been ground into their flour. Unfortunately, they didn't get the word out before people ingested it...and people were starting to undergo rather gruesome transformations into Pillsbury Dough Boy clones.

It was really rather creepy. People stood around with their eyes completely blue, quietly giggling as their skin became white and doughy and grew chef's hats out of their noggins. (It was kinda like the "Are You My Mummy" kid from Doctor Who.) It somehow became a Viral Transformation, and me and some girl had gotten into a hospital to get the cure. We wound up being chased by Dough Boys and we very nearly got infected, but the girl managed to stick something into a computer that somehow reversed the Dough Boy transformations and returned everyone to normal, along with inexplicably bringing the real Pillsbury Dough Boy back to life. Everything went back to normal and I woke up.

I can't believe my subconscious made the freakin PILLSBURY DOUGH BOY terrifying...!^note Home Alone was also somehow involved, for some reason...
