Weird dreams

Has anyone ever had a dream suddenly retcon itself? Like, the dream starts out focusing on subject A, then suddenly switches to subject B? It's kinda hard to explain. I can't remember any specific dreams like that, but I know it's happened to me before.

I've had it happen.

Recent dream: At first, it started out in some sort of lodge, with the scooby do characters there, as they all began shipping shenanigans. Outside, however, someone with a friggin demon in a box, let it loose, and soon there were several shenanigans.

Then, my parents were trying to get me to do some sort of gladiatorial games, and I was opposed to it, both because of horrid teenage murder, and because you had to wear roller skates. I became the laughingstock of the town for not wanting to shed blood and or die in honourable combat.

Finally, I wound up leaving town, finding some Eldritch looking throne, and shattering it, before someone said that redeemed me in the eyes of the town. Then, I responded by ramming a shard of the throne into my head, and having the material that made up the throne merge with my body.

Then I became a nine foot tall warrior, cloaked in dark armor, and sat on the throne as it reconstructed itself, before waking up.

Another happy ending.

I've had that happen more times than I can count. I've had dreams switch subjects as many as five times in one night such as that one dream I had a while ago that started off with Winnie the Pooh and switched to the adventures of sardines, me becoming a whale and falling in love with a girl whale, surfing this very wiki, and finally shopping for amiibos at a Target in Texas, all in one dream.

Last night, I dreamed that I was on what I thought was my school bus, but on the inside, it looked more like a transit bus (poles, handles, etc.). It was so rainy outside that I could only see fog when I looked out the windows. I only saw one other person (who looked like a close friend), but somehow I knew that the bus was actually packed with people (who were either ghosts or just invisible). There wasn't a bus driver that I could see, not even an invisible one.
The bus was obviously going somewhere, yet thanks to the fog, I had no idea where. My friend kept shouting at me to get off the bus, but her voice sounded nothing like her own. Suddenly, moon jellies appeared, floating in midair, and those invisible ghost-people decided to stop being invisible.

After pushing my way past several people, I managed to escape through the back door of the bus, and just as I jumped out, I woke up.

I just remembered the dream I had last night, where I was going to the beach with some of my family members. My dad, my cousin and I got separated everybody else and stumbled upon a cliff several thousand feet in the air with several enormous slides going down it.

We all jumped down the slides and the slide music from Super Mario 64 began playing. Midway down, I abruptly transformed into Thanos for some inexplicable reason and (I think) my dad became Captain America. (Nothing happened to my cousin.) The slides ended in Maple Treeway where we found everyone else. (No one reacted to the fact that I was now a ten-foot tall purple Marvel supervillain or that my dad was the good Cap.) We all then climbed down the trees and continued on to the beach like nothing had happened. I think we did eventually make it to the beach, but I woke up before we could do anything.

I had a pretty long and complicated dream last night but because I put off getting out of bed for so long I forgot most of it. The only part I remember was that Jade had gone grimdark^note not grimbark like in canon; actual tentacles-and-ichor grimdark and was being melodramatic about it, and for some reason Rose was just hitting on her.

It's almost night, and I only just remembered the dream I had last night:

I was some superhero (I'm pretty sure I was Spider-Man), and I had to fight a new villainess: a young woman who transformed herself into a mutant orca. (Turns out that Batman already has a villain like that, simply called "Orca". But the Orca in my dream was less humanoid.)

She had taken over a Sea World-esque place, and she was splashing around in the pool with glee, as she watched her goons patrolling the bleachers, each one armed.

This is more in-character for me than for Spider-Man, but I was terrified of her and her henchmen. I had to run away and hide as I tried to think of a plan.

Then, all of a sudden, I met Ms. Frizzle and her class! I went on the Magic School Bus, and we all learned about different sea creatures, and how we could use them to fight the Orca.

We went back to the Sea World place, and started an epic battle with the Orca and her goons. We defeated them by pelting them with jellyfish, octopuses, and other sea life. The whole time, the Orca never fought or left the pool, she just yelled at her minions to try harder. A real Orca On Her Throne. I don't regret that at all. But why we were so cheerful about what basically amounts to animal abuse, I have no idea.

That's all I remember.

Another Hunger Games Simulation-related dream: Someone nominated a talking cigarette, but it died on the first day by falling into an ash tray. You could say that it was a real Butt-Monkey.

I dreamed that Facebook had introduced dislike buttons for comments. It felt so real ;_;

That's the most Crazy Awesome thing I've read all day. (Aside from the animal abuse, obviously.)

I was being hired to serve as a hotel receptionist somewhere in the US (I'll visit the country for a season soon, BTW!). I was being introduced to the various areas of the location, and the owner (a woman who looked like she was in the 30-40 age interval) was very gentle and enthusiatic towards me. It was morning, by the way. Since the hotel was near a coast and the sun had risen from the east, it's likely this hotel was somewhere in Florida or New York or Atlanta, I dunno (I know, I'm as much of an expert in US geography as Cavani in African geography....). Time came to learn about the very natural springs, complete with small-but-beautiful waterfalls. For some inexplicable reason, the owner wanted to give me a demonstration of how to take a shower there, and told me the showers had to be without clothes whatsoever. Something about "very natural body-and-spirit cleansing", she was saying. Since I wasn't paying much attention, I was in a shock when I stopped looking at the corners of the springs to look back at her, because she was completely naked, and she was completely indifferent at me seeing her like that.

Suffice to say that I woke up before I even started working, because dreams like this always end abruptly when I seem like I'm going to do something great. -_-

So.....my last night's one was interesting.

It started with me having a conversation about my medication with an ornamental wooden snake. Once I realised that what it was saying was actually true, I decided to dive headfirst through the window. Into a pool of red water. I also knew that I was on Mars now. When I splashed into it, I saw that the pool had miniature-sized hammerhead sharks in it, along with Reinhardt from Overwatch, who had taken up scuba-diving. I decided to swim to the shore. A surprisingly verdant shore. It looked more like a freaking jungle than something you'd see on Mars.

Speaking of Mars, once I got up from the pool, I met..... none other than John Carter himself, and he had set up a barbeque with a whole bunch of people. Among these people were a bunch of giant lizards, my dad, Sean Bean, a few Beagle Boys, and Ruby Rose. I decided to sit on a couch (which had appeared out of nowhere) and chat with Ruby about the plot developments of Volume 2 of RWBY and her portrayal in the abridged series, while on the background my dad, Carter, and Sean Bean fused together into a.....fusion of the three, and continued to use the grill to....barbeque absolutely nothing. Until I threw him (them?) one of those mini hammerheads from the pool earlier, while still in mid-conversation with Ruby. By the way, she apparently found the "character development halted for the entirety of Volume 1" joke from the abridged series absolutely hilarious.

Then, me and Ruby got the wonderful idea to recreate the start of the big fight scene of Captain America: Civil War (which I had watched yesterday) with the people currently present. We made a few phone calls to get some more people, and then warped to the scene.

We had gotten a few Overwatch characters, namely Mc Cree was standing in for Bucky, and we also got Ozzy Osbourne of all people for Iron Man. Also, Black Panther as himself. Anyway, we immediately managed to set up the scene, no preparation whatsoever. Then we just did it like in the movie and started charging at each other, and halfway through that the dream ended.

I dreamt last night that my real-life crush was fatally shot.

I need to stay away from the news.

I had a 2-part dream last night. Spoilers for Kirby: Planet Robobot and Undertale:

1. I was Kirby, and I was fighting Star Dream. But at the end of the fight, we went down to Earth, to my house in real life. What was left of Star Dream possessed my dog, attached a bomb to her, and made her walk into the kitchen. In this part of the dream, I wasn't Kirby anymore, I was back to being myself. Anyway, we somehow got the bomb and Star Dream's spirit off of her and stuffed them into a bottle of juice we found in the fridge, which we threw outside. All I remember after that is that the bottle exploded, finally killing Star Dream and splattering the yard with juice.

2. I was Sonic the Hedgehog, and all the characters and I had just graduated from college. After the ceremony, I was walking around, looking for everyone. I had been talking to Amy for a while when I decided to look for Tails. I found him, but he was very depressed because he felt left out for some reason. Then, I remember walking home feeling bad for him. I was almost home, when suddenly Amy showed up. She revealed that we had had a baby girl (somehow without me knowing at all), but she had died, and she was buried in the Underground. But she, rather than Asriel, had possessed a flower, turning her into Flowey. This made me feel even worse.

I dreamed that I was having a holiday in Iceland, which was situated near Antarctica...on the moon. Yes, Iceland was both on the complete opposite side of the planet and the wrong celestial body. This dream probably exists because my dad has to find work out of the country

I dreamed that I was on TV Tropes, and went to the Five Nights at Freddy's page, but the image on it was changed to a jumpscare. Suffice to say, that woke me up.

I had an awesome dream last night where I was in the world of Redwall. A fox or weasel was chasing me with a huge blade, dead set on chopping my head off.

We both turned out to be pretty Genre Savvy. I did a lot of hiding, dodging, and grabbing makeshift weapons, but she was a remarkably good tracker who could easily keep up with me and destroy my makeshift weapons, forcing me to retreat again.

This went on for a while, but she eventually dropped her weapon. Without hesitation, I grabbed it and pointed it at her, forcing her to surrender.

That's all I remember.

I hardly remember the dream, but somehow in my dream, someone from a TV Tropes forum called me a Complete Monster.

Funnily enough, the last trope I was reading before sleep was indeed Complete Monster, so that may explains everything.

I had another cool dream a while ago! In this dream, I had created an MMO. It was like Webkinz, with the animal characters and the Sugar Bowl atmosphere, but with more fantasy/RPG elements.

Here's what the character creation system was like: After creating your username and password, you got to choose what animal you wanted to be. I remember lions and bears being options, but I don't remember any others. Then you got to choose your character's "theme", a costume that would give them powers based on it. Among the themes were clown, pirate, robot, and some based on Elemental Powers.

In-game, the characters are created by a figure simply called "The King", the Big Good who serves as an allegory for God.

I don't remember much else except that, like Webkinz, the characters all lived together in a Sugar Bowl town. However, it was regularly attacked by monsters from the surrounding forest, which the players had to fight off.

I think the King had an Evil Chancellor (who was a Satanic Archetype, of course) who the King banished for plotting against him. So the Chancellor fled into the woods and started trying to take control of the monsters so he could lead them into war with the kingdom.

I remember creating my own character - a clown bear. (That's where I got the idea for my character in "Into Mists Unknown".)

Just curious, is Neopets anything like this? I remember hearing about it when I was a kid, but I never played it.

One thing that stuck out the most to me in the dream I had last night was that it was announced that they were making a new Big Hero 6 comic book that crossed it over with....King of the Hill.

The cover art showed Bobby riding a flying Baymax over bewildered Hank and his friends at the fence. Hank was yelling: "That boy ain't right...and neither is that robot!"

When I woke up, I realized that the comic was All Just a Dream and was disappointed. I would have loved to see how that turned out.

I dreamed that I was a Dark- and Water-type Pokémon (it had a fish-like tail and only two front paws). My only attacking moves were Aqua Jet, Fling, and Brine. (I also knew Fake Tears. Not sure what Pokémon I was, though; it's probably an unknown one.)

I was on Route 19 of an unknown region, battling against a pure-Dragon type Pokémon (Level 2) and having to flee because it knew Dual Chop (I barely survived it). The next encounter was against a Psychic- and Ghost-type monkey that had Water Absorb.

I think this dream relates to my beginning a randomized run of Pokémon White 2 starting a bit awfully… though, things are looking bright now~

In most of my dreams, I am an Author Avatar. But in my dream last night, I had an omniscient view instead.

I was watching The Joker, as some other criminals took him into a hidden underground church for some evil cult. There was an ENORMOUS pipe organ inside, and pipes lined many of the walls. On this pipe organ, they played many "hymns", which were all played in minor keys, and with lyrics about how they planned to kill Batman and take over Gotham City, then the world.

The criminals took the Joker there intending to convince him to join the cult. They brought him in to listen to one of the cult leader's "sermons", hoping it would convince him. The Joker pretended to be going along with it, until he got tired of acting. At that point, he pulled out a gun that he had snuck in and - with his trademark Slasher Smile - shot the cult leader to death. Then he took the podium, proclaimed himself the new leader, and ordered everyone to worship him.

That's all I remember, but it was very creepy. And it seems like just the kind of thing he would do!

I dreamed I was marrying another woman, and it was our wedding day. My family knew I was getting married but didn't know she was a woman because they hadn't met her and she went by her initials.

Anyway so for some reason my dad was catering the reception, and I was getting dressed for the ceremony. I had on this off-the-shoulder white dress thing that was split up the front over white skinny pants and these black and silver high heeled boots. My bride was wearing this white pantsuit thing.

And then we had this lovely wedding and everyone was just fine with finding out who it was I was marrying, and my dad had set up this buffet of weird food combinations for the reception and I'd changed out of my high heeled boots into white sneakers so I could dance better.

And one of the wedding guests on my wife's side was named Diego Murphy but due to some misreading of his name everyone was calling him Draco Malfoy.

Get yourselves prepared, folks... this is a weird one.

So, as most Westerners do, I went to North Korea in my dream. I was being shown around by a female tour guide, when suddenly she goes on about how vomiting produces genes for a superior race of people, and THEN she says every major city should have a vomit basin so that the super genes can pool together...

I dream REALLY odd dreams sometimes... and no, I wasn't high.

x3 That sounds completely and utterly believable. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did that in the future.
