Weird dreams

This morning I was dreaming about a weird low budget sequel to an animated movie. The beginning was a briefing about how people went to live underground because the surface got too hot or something like that, And then there was this very dry dialog about resources and instruments. One of the guys played four of the said instruments, and all of them sounded like the same weird voice clip, but pitchshifted slightly. The animation looked like CGI from a late PS 1 game, choppy framerate and all.

My parents punished me for looking at an animal sex website (which is not something I'd do in real life at all).

My latest dream was apparently a crossover between The Wind Waker, Assassin's Creed IV and DKC Tropical Freeze''. It was a very strange mix of platforming, action and doing sidequests to help characters.

Last night, I had pretty much a "Not Wearing Pants" Dream, except it was a shirt rather than pants. In the earliest segment of the dream, I locked myself in a bathroom and woree a towel bib, but some guy threw a temper tantrum and yelled "MAAAAAAD!!!!" at the door for at least 5 minutes. I woke up from that bit at half past 3 AM. Next segment, it seemed to have abandoned its "Not Wearing Pants" Dream theme and I'm exploring a futuristic school where something that looks like rice from the Indian food place is added to the school lunch recipe apparently to build up the students' resistance to "The Ultimate Toxin". Then robots attacked and I was running away and woke up at 5 AM with my heart beating fast. Next segment, it's back on the theme. I wake up in a slightly futuristic bedroom and look in the cupboard to see 3 childish fairy dresses and 1 t-shirt. I quickly donned the t-shirt just in time for an entire family to burst in. The rest of the dream involved swimming, glasses, robots, Homestuck, and those fairy dresses each in some way.

I don't even really watch Steven Universe, but I had a dream about it during a nap today anyway.

The dream started with me seeing someone with an avatar of Amethyst on some message board, which got me thinking about the "Small Fat Child Falls to his Death" bit from Dikekike's "Steven Jewniverse" video. This eventually segued into a weird, twisted SU episode of its own.

Steven was talking to his mom (???) at the breakfast table. Rose (or "Lisa" as the dream called her), instead of looking anything like she should, looked like a taller, inconsistently mustache-less, Mexican version of Uncle Grandpa - another show I don't watch. Steven's dad was there as well but didn't appear as much. He had a similar appearance until partway through the "episode" when he suddenly changed over to his normal look. Weirdly enough, it felt like the dream was trying to portray both parents as The Faceless but failing, since there were multiple scenes where Rose/"Lisa"'s face was obscured by a newspaper or a magazine but just as many where her face was exposed. "Lisa"'s mouth didn't move when she spoke, for some reason.

Apparently Steven wanted to film some sort of home movie to bring to a convention and was trying to get "Lisa"'s permission to film it near some pool. "Lisa" eventually agreed, under some condition I can't remember. The episode then shifted to Steven filming at a public pool with "Lisa" sitting in a lawn chair in the back reading a newspaper, with some tongue-in-cheek alternative rock song playing in the background. In Steven's point of view, we saw his dad standing either in or near another pool, now with his regular look. He grabbed the camera, seemingly impressed with it...

...and abrupt cut to a newspaper headline proclaiming that Steven's dad was arrested for taking his son's camera and rubbing it on his... something or other. It was some made-up slang term I had never heard before in my life. It combined elements of "taint" and "meat" though, so it was clearly something inappropriate. Either way it was gross and horrible.

Then, just before it ended, the dream remembered this whole "convention" thing and shifts over to it. The convention consisted of about eight or nine people milling around the first floor of my house. Steven was there along with Amethyst and Pearl, but he had to leave for some reason or another, so Pearl offered to show him outside. "Well, I'll try, at least."

Dreams where you dream up fake episodes of real shows are among my favorite dreams to have, especially when you can remember them!

I'm reminded of a Dexter's Laboratory episode I dreamed a couple of years ago that was completely epic:

Hope that wasn't too long of a read.

Suddenly, a crossover!

Bad nightmare...if a cruelly interrsting one.

It was like a trailer for a reality show. It started with these girls at computers answering the question "What if they come up here?" And they answer things like "It's an isolated incident" and "Then you're on your own".

Then it got into the meat of the show...it followed serial killers as they walked through this dark hallway with weird booths on the sides where people hide before trying to get away. It had personal cameras for both the killers and the victims. One victim was overlooked because one of the killers was mostly blind in one eye, though his camera zoomed in on the fuzzy image of the missed victim before he moved out of the frame.

And another shot showed a girl who had gotten passed over attempting to escape, but she runs into her killer who is still working on another victim.

It was like a snuff elimination show, and I hate both pointless murder AND reality television! X(

There was that familiar pulsing beat at the end of a lot of horror trailers, and when I woke up I realized it was my fan. When I turned on the light to turn off my fan, I almost freaked when the computer chair I had moved into my room looked like somebody standing over me. X'(

Speaking of reality shows…

I was on The Voice, picked Christina (I really wanted Pharrell, but Adam was the only other one to turn) and was promptly eliminated. Sounds about right.

So, it started with me either hallucinating or dreaming that I ha been up on TV Tropes until six-something in the morning. Then, there was a section involving Castle Black, and Minecraft. The wildlings had wizards who were bound to the area around these giant mushrooms... one of them threw me up into the air, but I somehow turned into a stone block, and survived the fall. Castle Black, or some version of it, was asploded when I landed. Blocks everywhere.

Then I had a "Not Wearing Pants" Dream where I somehow interacted with a younger version of myself. I eventually did find pants, though. Jeans, to be exact.

Yeah, I don't know, either.

I don't remember much of my dream asides from a few vague details:

• I landed on a sort of platform with short, spiky fences on two adjacent sides with "Dialga/Palkia Battle" as heard in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Wii U playing in the background.
• I lifted off on a rocket from a swamp-like area Sonic Adventure 2-style.
• After I took down a Deku Scrub, for some reason it exploded into flowers.

That's...pretty much it asides from "Air's Rock" also playing at one point during my dream.

Last night I dreamed that I was running around my house during deep night to flee from a rainbow-colored snake that was chasing me. Has that happened in real life?

I dreamed that Be the Sea Dweller Lowblood was back from hiatus and when I woke up I was sad that it wasn't.

I was either visiting someone or living somewhere else with an older (as in elderly) woman. My bedroom was next to hers. I was having trouble sleeping; it was 1-something in the morning and I needed to go work the next day so I couldn't fall asleep and the old woman kept bringing me stuffed animals and warm milk and stuff to try to help me sleep.

Anyway since I couldn't sleep I was browsing this forum on my tablet, and checking the "Cast tropers in works" thread in Forum Games. And I claimed dibs on a casting they were doing currently though I didn't know who I wanted to be and just told them to pick someone that reminded them of me. And then someone comes in to cast "a thing" (as they put it) and listed a bunch of people from a weird assortment of works. Some of them were well-known (I know there were some Star Trek characters on there and that Xena was on it) and some were things we didn't even have a page on. And I told them that I needed to be cast in it.

So I was waiting on a reply to this when the old lady said she needed one of the dolls she'd given me back and something about changing the TV channel layout in case that was messing up my sleep.

i had a dream last night where i had entered some sort of virtual reality game and then it turned out that we couldn't get out. it was a wargame based off of the real robot genre and somehow i managed to find someone i recognized from the web (certainly no one from around here, however!) and stay together...until a random mech suit shot them, making way for that "last kiss before death" shot that so many works get. it's right after then that i woke up.

i proceeded to fall back asleep and have another dream but i can't remember what happened, only that a second dream did occur.

Last night I had a really, really depressing dream. I felt so frustrated over something that I wanted to be in my room alone. I told my mother to just "LEAVE ME ALONE, GODDAMNIT", and at one point the dream switched from my perspective to my mother's. And I could actually feel the deep emotional pain she was feeling inside, channeling into an acute chest pain.

Even right now, I feel like shit for having that dream.

Ouch, man. That does sound depressing. Sometimes I wish all of the dreams we had were just nice and weird dreams and we didn't have dreams like that.

I think I may have experienced sleep paralysis last night. Not long after going to sleep last night, I had a short dream where I was in my room trying to get to the computer, but I was just rolling across the ground and couldn't move my arms or legs very well. I also could barely keep my head up for some reason. When I actually woke up, though, I was fine.

After having lunch, I stroked her back and hair for a moment. It looks like she interpreted it as a mere son-to-mon greeting, but it made me feel a bit better.

Also, sleep paralysis suck. I too have had them (I had one recently, even, while dreaming something I posted here), and they're not pretty.

I dreamed that I was cleaning up a backyard with a bunch of people and I decided to burn the rubbish away. It worked, but gave someone else that idea, which exploded the giant tree roots holding half the yard up. It collapsed, but we were all safe, and then the tree roots spontaneously spawned lights that glow in the dark on both itself and the tree's leaves.

I had the worst Pokemon-related nightmare last night. It was as if Darkrai attacked me.

I was browsing Rotten Tomatoes when I saw a promotion claiming that I could get Espeon and Umbreon if I traded in any mon. So, I connected my 3DS and offered my Purugly and Delcatty for the two Eeveelutions, but I was scammed big time. I was given an Audino and a Gulpin instead!

I began contacting Nintendo about this scam, but the dream quickly changed into something worse. I was continuing my Alpha Sapphire Wonderlocke, grinding my mons at Route 120 for the next gym. I entered Scorched Slab to tackle the higher mons, then BAM! A wild Octillery appeared! I sent out my Gallade to fight it, but he got devastated by a barrage of Octazookas. Thanks to being Amie'd though, he miraculously survived with 1HP left. Panicking, I reached for my Ultra Ball, even though I already caught a Golbat there. Suddenly, my Sylveon stepped in for Gallade and bested the octopus, only for the latter to transform into Rayquaza.

I was confident that the Eeveelution would one-shot the dragon because he had the type advantage. I ordered him to use Moonblast, but the Rayquaza outsped him and used a move that I've never seen before: Apocalypse Meteor. It had the longest and most excruciating attack animation ever. Giant meteors rained down on Sylveon like armor-piercing Draco Meteors. And just when I thought it was over, the dragon spat out a giant space rock that crushed the Fairy-type to death.

I ran out of the cave. Several NPCs were waiting for me outside. For some reason, the very appearance of Rayquaza activated the Delta Episode early. Zinnia inexplicably teleported me to Mossdeep, and gave me the spiel that I just mashed 'A' through. My 3DS was getting drained, so I quickly rushed to the Pokemon Center to "bury" my Sylveon. Then I noticed something different about my Gallade. He had a new status problem called "gradually starving". I looked up Bulbapedia and read that it rarely happens when a Pokemon survives with 1HP. It would starve itself so thin that it would look like a zombie.

I was so terrified. If only Cresselia was there to intervene.

I just dreamt that the entirety of my senior class got sent to an evil communist summer camp trying to convert us all to communism. Luckily, i caught on quickly, and prevented them from mind controlling me by avoiding their leader.. Who was a summer camp instructor named sarah.

This summer camp was very small, all in like old western buildings, except for a bunch of inflatable tubes that reached into the sky.

By crawling through these tubes and avoiding Sarah, i got to the base of operations, where i found evidence of the communist brainwashing. I called the police, and everyone was arrested.

Skip a few years ahead in my dream, and I'm picking up my brother from the summercamp, but this time its with healthy capitalist values at heart.

Looks like most of us have had some tough dreams today/last night. Hopefully we'll have sweeter dreams tonight.

I wouldn't mind if the part of mine about TV Tropes came true.

'Though I don't want to get insomnia at some old lady's house.

Whew! Last night was just normal weirdness. Things I definitely remember was walking down a seemingly endless hallway. In every room I entered, some friends of mine were all in fancy outfits doing random things. After a while, though, I managed to reach the end of the hallway and entered a room full of identical ladies in nurse outfits. I promptly transformed into another one of them (as that's what apparently happened to you should you enter that room) and wound up waking up.

Hey, it beats getting sleep paralysis, eh?

There was also another dream where I was playing Dig Dug, but there were all sorts of creatures in the ground aside from the usual Pookas and Fygars, including some Pokemon and Mario creatures. Some of them were harmless, but you could still blow them up. (BLOOP!)

Room, and a bookcase literally tilted on its side, floating in the air. The books inside of it forgetting about gravity. I was trying to tilt the bookcase back, but some of the books fell on me, and then... Well, I was in a school after that, apparently, and some teachers went by making the blatant implication that I would amount to nothing, and probably live off welfare or something. Thanks for that, brain. I was on a mission to get something from the main office, to stop a building from collapsing, but then I was outside, getting on the bus?

The rest of the stuff I remembered involved doing stuff with my father, only for him to reveal when we were alone, on a pier[?]. That he had been poisoning me, so he showed me a bunch of photos from those activities. I had a glazed look in those photos, and little hair to speak of. And then, suddenly, Go-Carts. They even shrunk to meet the size of the track.

There seems to be a common trend in my recent dreams, and that's my father killing me. I'm not sure what that says about our relationship, or me.
