Weird dreams

I had a dream that Canada got an influx of Scientologist refugees from California. There was a lot of controversy about whether Canada should let in these people, who were perceived as rude and unruly movie stars. #notallscientologists

The valerian root pills gave me a weird dream last night.

It was during the Tournament Arc storyline of Volume VI that I'm planning. Lynessa's next opponent was... a big blue trapezoid. No, not that one. It was an actual blue trapezoid the size of a gorilla; the Big Bad who was running the tournament even introduced it as such. My friends and I face faulted when he announced it, and Lynessa sweat dropped and laughed very hard when she saw it. Then when the fight actually started, the humor disappeared. The trapezoid started shooting Lynessa with an antimatter beam (or whatever it was the dissolving energy balls in Half-Life 2 were made of). It also did some Goomba Stomps on her while laughing like an incredibly drunk man. When she started fighting back, the trapezoid then turned into something more demonic with a voice like Yogg-Saron and the fight got even harder.

Do your dreams ever inspire your writing, Demetrios?

Yes.

I had a dream with multiple parts last night.

1. I was on Forum Games, and I posted on one thread without reading the rules, and after I woke up, I was so convinced it was real that I started worrying I would get in trouble when I logged in the next morning.
2. I fell back asleep and had a dream where I was lying awake in bed, early in the morning. I opened my blinds to find that my house was completely submerged in water. Also, there was a frog giving birth on the other side of the window, so that's nice.
3. I was Bowser, and I was doing something with the Koopalings. All I remember was one part where I was driving the Koopa Clown Car, and they grabbed onto the bottom. I was worried they would fall, so I urged them to get in the clown car with me, but they didn't listen. They seemed to be having fun down there.

Last night, I dreamed that a stranger moved in with me. The stranger was a slightly overweight guy who liked video games. He was kind of annoying and kept hogging the TV, but for some reason, I kept him around. Then, when I thought I woke up, I found him in my guest room, playing Fallout. The dream was so vivid, that when I actually woke up, I thought he was going to be in the guest room still.

Just had two nightmares, one right after the other.

In the first, I was kind of jealous that Stormer was preferring to play Enter the Arena with somebody else over me, so I overreacted and told everybody his real life name, causing him to flip out and his parents to prevent him from using Skype again.

I woke up, then went back to bed... which is when the second one started.

Long story short, it had me building some huge, bright red robot (nonhumanoid) to attack Stormer's OC and an OC she was interacting with. Thank goodness I managed to stop it from happening via Suicide by Cop to another bigger, meaner, red coloured robot.

Alright, so I don't remember this one too well, on account of it being quite a while ago, but here goes...

So, in this dream, I was back at school, and we all had to write a paper on a specific country which would be determined by us. I picked a fictional Banana Republic-type country run by an authoritarian dictator. Somehow, this entailed us going on a trip there. Except when we actually got there, it was more like we travelled back in time to Victorian Britain or some place like that, and I was constantly afraid of accidentally saying something radical for the time and subsequently getting chased out by crowds with Torches and Pitchforks.

But then Hitler appeared (seriously) and started giving a speech in the middle of a club, which I couldn't understand, of course. I managed to sneak upstairs past him and got into a conversation with some scientist. He was very friendly at first, but then all of a sudden started very politely insisting that he shank me with a suspect syringe. I think I either had to run away or got thrown out by the authorities. Then I had to admit to the teachers running the trip that I actually didn't know anything about this country we went to, and I only suggested it at all to seem smarter than I was. They were totally okay with this, for some reason.

Oh, and can I just say, Dr No Puma, you have the best dreams ever. I hope I appear in one of them to give you a bourbon biscuit with 'BEST DREAMS EVER' written on it or something. :V

Last night, I had a dream that everyone and everything seemed to be after my sister's husband. People were trying to shoot him, people were trying to run him over with their cars, and animals kept trying to attack him. Basically, the whole world was out to get him except those who were trying to protect him.

At one point, I stopped and smashed a snake trying to bite him and tossed it away. Then someone told that the snake was Spongebob (somehow) and I had a brief Heroic BSoD because I knew that now Spongebob would be cancelled and it would be my fault. (For some reason, I didn't question why Spongebob had been a snake or why I thought I had killed the show.) After about what seemed like 2 hours of having to evade people and things trying to do the guy in, I got bored and asked my mom if this would ever end. "I give it until Memorial Day," she answered. Almost directly after she said that, I woke up.

In my dream last night, Team RWBY got captured by some really rich evil guy, locked in computer rooms in a huge mansion and hooked up to massive computer cables by the backs of their heads. The evil guy wanted them to unlock treasure, said treasure being a 3D printer that could print living things and was already partially unlocked somehow and could do the demo print. The demo printed some kind of Pokemon I didn't recognize, an Entei-like Legendary who's theme was the Northern Lights. There were also two reboot buttons, one for the printer itself and one for Team RWBY (literally marked 'Reboot RWBY' or 'Reboot Team') which the evil guy used when Ruby sneaked into a room below her own via a trapdoor. The whole team fell unconscious instantly, with Ruby in the air dangling by the cable.

Somehow, the team managed to escape, and entered some kind of industrial park. (Why the rich guy built his evil super-mansion right next to the commoners, I don't know, but the printer was embedded in the ground, so.) I saw a space shuttle launching, then starting to flip out, then I went lucid, stopped time and started floating up to the shuttle to save it. Then the excitement of lucidity woke me up as usual.

Really cool dream, actually.

I had this dream fairly recently, a few months ago at the most. I was in a stealth video game. I was a little crab, and I had to get to the end of an obstacle course without being seen by the predators. For some reason, there were only two types of predators: walruses, and bigger crabs.

At first, I did terribly. I remember one part where I fell right into a pit containing a walrus and a big crab. I even landed right on the walrus' snout! Fortunately, every time I died, I respawned right away.

As the dream went on, I did much better. There was one part with a big crab standing by some trees. There were pebbles on the ground, so I picked one up and threw it into the trees. The crab turned around to investigate the sound, and I scuttled right past him.

At the end of the obstacle course, there was a huge building that I had to climb up the side of. But I had to be quiet, because there was another big crab watching TV next to the building. I somehow walked straight up the wall like Spider-Man. I got to the top, completed the level, and then I woke up.

Another case of me getting straight out of bed to use this thread as a dream journal. I don't usually have pop culture-themed dreams, but this was a rare exception that I had to share with you ladies and gentlemen.

So, pretty much the entire dream was me, in my room, back at my original place of residence. I was back at school, if I remember, and I was getting ready. But for some reason that was never explained, I had to go while cosplaying as Chun-Li.

Now, here's the thing. I'm a relatively slim, and dare I say, feminine-looking fellow, in terms of body structure. I've never cosplayed before and don't intend to at any point in the foreseeable future, but I'm convinced that, if I put some effort into it (having a really good shave on every part of my body would be a good start), I could possibly pull off this particular cross-play. It certainly helps that Chunners is one of the most modestly-dressed Fighting Game ladies out there.

But even in the dream, I could tell it wasn't very good. The big band she wears on her waist was missing, for one thing. I obviously skipped over a few steps in my mind, but for some reason, my mother was helping me with it, so I presume there was some kind of charity thing going on at school. I distinctly remember telling her (in the dream, that is) that Chun-Li's supposed to have two buns in her hair with white covers; that's one of those iconic features you don't just forget about. However, my mum was insistent that it looked fine without them (to be fair, my current hairstyle would not be suitable, so I'd have to get a wig or something).

I also remember, towards the end, I was watching a video on my phone (which, on reflection, was even more jarring, because I can't watch videos on my phone, and voluntarily so, on account of me being Two Decades Behind), in which some east asian-looking lady was explaining... something. Obviously I was in a rush to get to school by that point, but un/fortunately I woke up before I could see how everyone reacted. It was probably for the best.

Two dreams, one from last night and one from the night before. First dream was very realistic...as in, I woke up in my real bed and went about my day. Kinda creepy, actually. Only thing out of place was that I 'woke up' unclothed.

Second dream was far, far more interesting, but unfortunately, I only remember that a computer with really long loading times and a video-game-esque loading screen was involved.

i can't remember much in the way of details, but the base plot was that aliens had taken over earth and were possessing the bodies of plastic toys or something. i remember there being this sort of holy-looking yellow light associated with them. anyway, for some reason i was sent to the corner of the world (which was a square) to find this one guy. it turned out the guy had been kidnapping children to raise them to fight the aliens.

also, the world had been… stretched in the corners, because it was originally a circle that had been fitted to square, so reality was kind of unhinged where it had been pulled. i learned that through a mission briefing before being sent after the guy, to warn me that it might get weird out there.

The only thing I can remember from the dream I had last night was that I was morphing into many different Mario enemies to see if someone I was hanging out with could name them all. I can remember turning into a Goomba, a Paratroopa, a Piranha Plant, and a Cheep-Cheep, and the guy guessed them all right except the Piranha Plant. (If I remember correctly, he called me Audrey.)

I once had a dream where I was in a weird parody of Redwall.

I was an evil king tiger, and I was hellbent on taking over a palace inhabited by ponies.

My tiger character was definitely a Large Ham - I remember yelling at my minions constantly.

After several Wile E. Coyote-esque attempts to kill the ponies, I was ready to give up. However, I had a right-hand man: a mysterious bat who was always playing a jazz organ.

My bat sidekick said he had a plan to manipulate and demoralize the ponies. But first, I had to carry him and his jazz organ into the castle.

That's all I remember.

I dreamed that I got a huge book of the party line for the US Republican Party. It had a whole chapter of anti-Trump stuff, but the rest of the book was racist, sexist and contradictory to the point it felt like the man himself might have written it...

All I can remember from the dream last night was that I was in a goofed up version of Zootopia. (Which I haven't actually seen yet as of this post.)

I was Nick Wilde, and, apparently, I had royally ticked off an entire city with some con I had pulled, and every herbivorous animal that existed was out to get me (except Judy). I remember at some point, Judy and Nick/Me were in a subway going across the country and got a pep talk from Jake the Dog, which somehow wound up being a Chekovs Gun in the climax which for some reason involved everyone who had appeared sky-diving. (I wish I could remember the context.)

Also, at one point the "movie" halted to play the Bowler Hat Guy's backstory from Meet The Robinsons exactly as it appeared in that movie.

I was playing something that looked like an incredibly glitchy, vaguely Steven Universe themed variant of Katamari Damacy, and was deeply emotionally affected when I accidentally glitched gigantic and rolled up Neptune (which for some reason was in Earth's orbit). I have never played Katamari.

All the dreams are weird.
While I can hardly remember my dreams, I remember a dream were I took off the shells of two snails and they ran. And a soup in the table had a death frog in it. Disgusting.
Also, dreams can be scary as fuck. You would think than dreams are screamer-free, right?.
GODDAMMIT NO!!!!!

Once I dreamed I put my headphones in my ears (I don't remember the context, again, I can hardly remember some dreams), and somehow I was hearing unnerving sounds about something similar to a electronic voice phenomenon, and then everything deranges into screams and wood breaking apart. It was creepy.

And that's the reason because I HATE SLEEP. While I can have nice dreams at times, most of the times the dreams are too random, and sometimes the dreams can be quite unpleasant too.

I had one where some woman who happened to be a psychiatrist told me I was delusional because of something I'd told her; I don't remember what the something was, just that I had been taking some class in the dream and it involved my teacher. And as it turned out, at least from my point of the view in the dream, she and the teacher were dating and they actually were both against me in this... whatever the thing was,

The other dream, I was messing around and realized I could somehow change my eye color. So I was giving myself icy blue eyes, then emerald green eyes, then gold eyes... then I could change the color of the sclera of my eyes too so I did Homestuck troll eyes that were gray with gold sclera. Then I discovered I happened to be able to multiply my pupils. So naturally it was Vision 8fold time. Then I wondered if I could change other stuff too... so I grew Vriska's horns, turned my skin gray, and grew my hair out, and sent a text to this friend I was meeting up with to tell her where I was and I had a surprise for her. And yes, I used Vriska's quirk in the text. She was having trouble finding me at first since she was not expecting Vriska.

Dream journal time again.

So my latest dream, pleasantly enough, had me watching a fictitious episode of Top Gear. That is, pre-cancellation Top Gear, featuring Jeremy, James and Richard. In this episode, the presenters had been tasked with buying three boats and placing them in a fairly normal (albeit very deep on one end) indoor pool with people still swimming in it, for some reason.

The challenge began with Richard arriving on a motorcycle, and his two co-presenters, as they were known for doing, mocked him for apparently getting the wrong kind of vehicle. Of course, it turned out he had brought a boat; a massive yacht that was clearly too big for the pool.

I'll admit that my memory has gotten hazy already, so I'm mentally filling in gaps. The first challenge, I presume, simply involved getting each presenter's boat from side of the pool to the other. The first presenter's boat (I assume it was James, as this boat was rather slow) made it just fine, but for some reason, they chose to attach Richard's motorcycle from earlier to the side.

It eventually fell off, and Richard suddenly revealed he had superpowers by dropping to the bottom of the pool, grabbing the motorcycle, and carrying it all the way to the shallow end without rising for breath. This section was from first-person view, too. Eventually he carried the motorcycle up the ladder, and his co-presenters didn't find this in any way alarming or noteworthy.

Then after that, they had to get Richard's massive yacht in the pool. It was too big to fit inside the doors, so they had to lower it in by crane (how they were able to do that with an indoor pool is beyond me). In true Top Gear fashion, the yacht was too heavy and immediately sank.

Unfortunately I woke up before I could see what Jeremy's boat was, but knowing Clarkson it was most likely a speedboat. Bit of a shame, it actually seemed funny in my mind, even if it didn't make any sense.

Two dreams this morning. One woke me up because a guy started screaming at me because I...did something wrong, I guess. That was fun. Second one involved me going into sleep paralysis and watching my mom get dragged away by goons while I was screaming at them. That was also fun.

So if you wondered if I ever have nightmares...yeah.

A dream I remember having a long time ago:

I wasn't in it. The setting: sandstorm. There were eggs flying about the sky. Many of them would hatch into CG Yanmas. One of them hatched into a still frame of a Caterpie with a half-eaten apple.

Splarf! I had a dream that I was apparently such a bad kid, that I was forced to sit in a chair and stare at a wall in a small room, worh nobody to talk to or interact with. I managed to sneak out (something I rarely do, being a good noodle) but there was a certain annoying fem-scumbag who called me Kevin. I was repeatedly sent back to the tiny room. The scene cut to a (much more interesting than the previous one) scenario where I was watching a different version of A Christmas Story 2 (with Doug Walker riffing on how the first movie's soundtrack should've been used for this movie)! It took until the part where the impostor father couldn't read the kid's name so that the scene would finally change. It was about a random plot about fighting for something, and some made-up Gems with complex Gem cuts had stolen the show. One of them's name was I think Peanut Butter, despite him (the fake Gems were all males) being bright blue. The last one had an identical Gem cut to the Peanut Butter one, but his name had something about squids in it, and he was a robot! He killed the final two competitors, and he won! It ended on an inappropriate note, where they were sending cocks up a conbeyor belt of a fast food drive thru, and they were being shown to a magnifying glass, that, for some reason, instead of cooking them, made them all colors of the rainbow!
