Weird dreams

Recently after learning that a new update to Pokémon GO increased the frequency of rare mon spawns, I dreamed that I opened the app and there were three Lapras around me. It felt so real that when I woke up I checked the app to see if I'd really caught a Lapras. I hadn't. ;_;

In a separate, more recent dream, there were a bunch of things, but the most notable things were that I had a new baby sister (which would be impossible; my mum is 51 and had a hysterectomy years ago) and that a teacher from last year who quit to work at another school was just sitting on the school's front lawn (which doesn't exist; it was entirely made up by my mind) working on something with his laptop on a barrel.

Let's see if I can remember what happened in my dreams last night:

• Nintendo had their own theme park. My family and I went there, and there were segments of the park dedicated to various Nintendo characters - but the only ones I remember were Donkey Kong and Wario.
• I was playing Donkey Kong Country, but instead of King K. Rool, the Big Bad was a giant cat. This cat character had a very creepy Evil Laugh that the player heard each time they lost a life. (It sounded a bit like this.)
• My brothers and I were trying to tame some large, talking animal (it was either a shark, or the cat mentioned above). It tried to fight us at first, but we eventually befriended it. There was another creature we had, some kind of reptile or Fish Man thing, that was much more vicious. We never got to befriend it.

Last night I dreamed that an old friend hired me for a one-time job. He was meeting a guy and needed somebody to watch his back.

The idea was that they were going to meet in this out of the way place (the car park of the confusingly long-derelict remains of the decidedly not-derelict-in-real-life supermarket near my house) and I was to perch in a nearby ruined house with a rifle (well, a large calibre hunting rifle and a scoped bolt-action carbine that I own in real life) in case anyone tried to interfere.

The meeting was due to happen just after dawn, so I was waiting when this old estate car pulled up and four priests got out along with three shady types in khaki.

The guys in khaki deployed themselves in the long grass at the not-there-in-real-life treeline while the priests milled around then got back in the car.

Just then this really ratty red hatchback and a brown Landrover pull up. My mate piles out the Landy while another priest gets out the hatchback, carrying a banker's box full of papers.

Just then one of the khakis actually stands up to take a shot, so I put a round from the carbine through his chest under his arm and he goes down. There's movement to the right as one of his buddies sees me and turns to aim. I put a round through where I estimate his centre of mass should be and his arms fly up and he goes over backwards. The third snatches a shot, misses, panics and starts to run. He gets a round through his lower back.

The estate car starts to move, so I swap rifles and put a big slug through their radiator, but it doesn't stop them and they drive off.

The other priest heads for the hills in his ratty car and my mate drives over, picks me up and we go over to check out the khaki guys.

They're all dead, but they have some good kit on them, so when my mate asks what my price is I just tell him that if he's involved in what I think he is, I just want to keep these guys' gear and he can buy me a pint.

Kind of a weird one. Most of my really weird dreams happen in a terrifying Fallout-y version of where I actually live. That wouldn't bother me so much if the dreams hadn't started before Fallout was released.

Last night:

I dreamed that my family and I had gotten in a car and were now driving everywhere. Among other things we wound up driving into New York City right before the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and got to see the balloons and floats before they went out. The highlight was a float made to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nicktoons which was a large VW fan with numerous Nickelodeon characters inside, plus several large balloons of Nicktoon characters. (I remember seeing ones of Arnold and Baby Dil.) I commented on how I couldn't wait to see it at Thanksgiving....but it was obviously All Just a Dream...

Then my dad drove a ferry that a stoner guy attempted to hijack, followed by this weird anime starring two girls who used their abilities to morph into any sort of Pokemon to mess with each other. At one point, Jack Black showed up in the latter section.

I just woke up from another "naked blue-haired alien princess" dream. This one wasn't fun.

The dream started with me in command of a battlecruiser out near the frontier. I received news that the Emperor (my father) had died in an accident. This was a major problem because the Crown Prince (my older brother) is a complete shithead who has no business being anywhere near the throne.

While heading to my homeworld I received news that my husband, children, and all of my younger siblings, nieces, and nephews had been murdered on my older brother's orders.

I then told every nobleman and admiral I could get communications with that I knew what they were planning and to please let me do it because, if I do it it's not high treason. I reminded them that if one of them does it, I will have to order the execution of their entire family. I don't want to do that.

During the last hour of my battlecruiser's approach to the homeworld I was talking to my brother and sending hand signals to my XO as to which part of our homeworld needed to be hit to take him out.

The moment we dropped to sub-light my XO ordered the firing of one torpedo that destroyed a city of 2 million people. Before my XO could complain that I'd ordered the destruction of his hometown I told him that we needed to contact my cousin Lord Maha right now.

Once we had a communications link to Lord Maha's battleship I told him "You are now the Emperor. Please don't disappoint me."

So, I have some superpower. I forgot what. Anyway, there's this guy who owns an elevator, and the key to his power is supposed to be inside, protected by a force field. I prepare to steal it, for some reason. Anyway, I go in the elevator, but the thing isn't there, then it goes up, and I arrive in some weird mist dimension. Then Lionel Luthor shows up (apparently, he was the one who owned the elevator), and he reveals that he's made of ice, and that the mist dimension is a guardian that uses the power of cold to protect the whatever, and then my alarm goes off.

Something about Gravity Falls being set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It wasn't as interesting as it sounds.

My dream started out as some sort of Five Nights at Freddys themed attraction. I was in the line, and Freddy'd hop out to jumpscare us, to keep us on our toes.

Then, right as everyone else went in, I was told to wait, and I'd be in the next group.

No one from the first group ever came out, and no one else was in my group.

Then, I got led into a changing room, and given a purple uniform, like all of the other participants. At one point, I finally saw someone in a Freddy suit, but then some new aminatronic, looking like this◊ marched in, stated that the suit was being worn incorrectly, and then something happened that I didn't even see.

Then, I was put into an office, and the 'ride', began.

On the first two nights, the robots were actually pretty peaceful, and if they got into my office, they'd just tell me to    "Stay aware of your surroundings."    Then, they'd exit.

On night three, however, it started with a minigame. I was controlling a purple Freddy, and they were on the stage, preforming for several kids, before they walked off of the stage and did something. Then, I got jumpscared by the Puppet, before the night began. This time, the bots were out for blood.

On Night Four, another security guard, in a purple uniform turned out to be the guy, and he tried to kill me to hide the evidence. I locked him out, and he waited and waited, until finally, he began to bang on the door, before the sound of a jumpscare occurred.

Finally, on the final night, I couldn't take it, and ran out of the exit, only to realize I had forgotten to shut the door. Then, I heard a lovely little song on a music box, as a certain bear exited from the trees.

All I need to say after that is that I was stuffed, and awoke.

I had some really trippy dreams last night, though all I can remember was that it involved some sort of wildlife preserve for reptiles. I remember that the dream ended with me randomly transforming into a giant snail "I Was A Teenage Gary" style and playing cards with some snakes. The whole thing was a lot weirder than it sounds.

I once had a dream that took place in the world of Frozen.

In the dream, I was an ermine, and I was friends with a bat. We were Those Two Bad Guys, roaming around the forest and stealing whatever we could to eat. At the beginning of the dream, we went to Arendelle's castle to steal food from the kitchen. This was after Anna and Elsa had left, and Hans was watching over the castle (the sad part is, neither I nor my bat friend ever found out that Hans wasn't the Reasonable Authority Figure he appeared to be.)

But anyway, there was suddenly a huge flood, despite the fact that the kingdom was, well, frozen. The castle wasn't harmed by the flood itself, but huge chunks of debris were floating straight towards the castle. I had a Heel Realization and decided that I needed to give up my selfish ways and help the humans save the castle. My bat friend disagreed with me, and just left.

The next thing I remember was standing on top of the castle, then jumping from debris chunk to debris chunk, smashing and tearing them up into smaller pieces.

Eventually, the water and debris suddenly disappeared, and the castle was saved. Hans decided to throw a royal feast to celebrate our victory, and I was the guest of honor. So, after spending his lifetime stealing and feeding on scraps, my ermine character had finally earned a huge banquet!

...But he still had NO idea that Hans is a liar and a monster.

Oh wow, that must be a nice dream! Too bad your reward was given to you by the future traitor

I had this dream once. Toronto had been taken over by a totalitarian government, where the people were forced into small homes, young girls had to stay home all day, while their parents worked in factories, their infant relatives being taken for the day to... somewhere... and their brothers went to Assimilation Academy. As a girl, I naturally had to stay home. However, i was allowed out on one occasion, to see my former principal give a thinly-veiled propaganda speech. We lived in a crammed home with my family (dad, mother, brother, me) and our closest relatives (aunt, uncle, their three very young children) with security cameras and guards literally everywhere.

Then, one day, I heard a mysterious thump at the door. I opened it slightly, and saw a letter and a package, with no stamps. The letter said that they were from the well-known La Résistance, and needed some help. They asked me to deliver the package to the address enclosed. I knew the cameras had caught this letter, so I took a coat and some food, and ran out the door past guards and cameras. The dream sadly ended just as I reached rebel HQ.

This one is actually from 3 years ago, but I still remember it for some reason.

So, I'm talking with this girl on a bus, and my friends are on the other seats. We have a conversation, and I ask her name. She then says it's the name of one of my friends, pulls a gun out of nowhere, and shoots that friend. Then I am teleported to the back of the bus, and she shoots everyone else, then tries to kill me but there's a force field between us. Then somehow I died, but my ghost possesses her, she turns into me, and I get revenge on her, somehow. That's all I remember, but it was even worse with more details.

i dreamt that i was a younger kid again and i was at this weird-looking play that had a green/black color scheme with my scout troop from my childhood. there was a black horse cutout running through a black forest with green smog and lights everywhere and the song "Bravely Bold Sir Robin" was playing and it had new lyrics, which, from what i remember, were apparently obscene.

I had a dream where there were like these projections of Wile E. Coyote, Roadrunner, Tom, and Jerry in space, and there where some weird purple and green clouds too.

I've also dreamt about both Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop before I've even watched either series. And some crazy Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover.

Me and my brother were trapped in a jungle-ish place. It was sort of like a video game. We had to gain money and survive off of supplies. I kept buying the money generators (Which were represented by frogs... don't ask.) to keep getting the money. My brother, however, just bought supplies and a flying Mini-Pekka.

I once had a dream where a new episode of Spongebob Squarepants was premiering live (The animation had been done beforehand so that the voice actors could record their lines on a live broadcast. Dreams are weird. )

There was a guest star in this episode, and his character was a Large Ham. He was getting so involved in his performance that he accidentally cursed. There was a long silence after that, even though the animation kept playing. After a while, there was an exchange like this:

That's all I remember.

that would sound like a glorious lost episode, actually.

I'm glad you thought that dream was funny, because my dream last night - which was undoubtedly inspired by Silverfin - was downright disturbing.

I met a man who was obsessed with lampreys. He believed that lampreys were the most beautiful animals on Earth, and the solution to all of life's problems. He led me around his factory, showing me a bunch of horrible machines made for chopping up lampreys to be used in all sorts of products, from food, to medicine, to fertilizer, and more!

Also, there were several fish tanks, each of which contained tens, if not hundreds, of writhing lampreys. At one point the man stopped at a tank, and dumped in a bucket of live fish. The lampreys swarmed over the fish to devour them, and I looked away because I couldn't bear to watch.

There was at least one fish tank with a machine above it that had several small tubes. At the end of each tube was a syringe needle, and each one was stuck into a lamprey in the tank, in order to draw blood from them.

The man brought me to his factory because he wanted me to design a lamprey mascot for his company. I tried and tried, but I couldn't draw a lamprey that looked cute enough. (How was I supposed to make this◊ look cute?!) So the man suggested I give the lamprey a sidekick. He wanted it to be a crocodile, but he wanted it to look realistic, so that character ended up looking too scary too!

I hijacked the Death Star...with the Power of Rock!

I actually had this dream while taking a nap this afternoon:

My sister invited me to go with her to the theater to watch movies, but the only movies they were showing there were some dude's home movies, The Prince of Egypt, and The Secret Life of Pets (which, bizarrely, was apparently now rated PG-13 for "suspicious mounting issues and work"). My sister and I went into a theater showing The Prince Of Egypt, and the theater was simply a bunch of chairs in a room in front of an old TV. My sister handed me a VHS, claiming that it was the movie, then left to get popcorn or something.

The tape clearly was not one for the movie we were supposedly watching, as it just had a white sticker on it labeled: "Sticker Star". I put the tape in, and a Mario movie started. It did start off with Paper Mario related stuff before abruptly drifting to a strange rhythm game involving Mario (the non-paper version) swinging on trapezes through a city at night. The song that played throughout that happening was pretty cool.

Upon completing the game, the scene suddenly cut to Paper Mario in bed, that part of the movie apparently having just been a dream he was having. A Toad, Luigi, and Petey Piranha(?!) walked into his room, telling him that something had gone wrong at Peach's castle. (I can't remember what it was though.) In the middle of them explaining what was happening though, there was suddenly an extremely loud knocking noise from seemingly nowhere in particular. The characters on the TV even reacted to it."Is someone at the door?" Toad asked. Then the knocking got so loud that it actually woke me up and I realized that someone was knocking very loudly on my bedroom door.

I wish I could remember more about my dream last night... but I know it was about Chara - or at least, a nicer version of Chara.

The dream started by explaining that she^note I don't know if Chara is canonically female or not, but she was in this dream. was a normal child before becoming the Humanoid Abomination she is today.

She had been recruited by the government to use her powers for military purposes, and she was living in a secret government facility.

In the dream, I was a friend of Chara (Asriel, maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and I went to the government facility. I was really scared, because I didn't want her to fight. But she tried to console me, telling me that the violence was inevitable, but she would protect me.

So, yeah. Despite being creepy, she was still caring and gentle, unlike the canon version of her.

Chara has an Ambiguous Gender like Frisk in canon, but what a nice dream.

Two nights ago, I dreamt that my family and I were traveling to the Spratleys. It was being oil rigged, but there was a decent hotel for us to stay. We checked in and went past the spa to our room. Turns out it was a jungle, and there was a giant carabao/water buffalo swimming in the river nearby. My aunt saw a giant rock formation in the middle of the river and swam towards it, but suddenly a giant crocodile lunged right for her! Feeling worried yet daring, I dove in and rescued her, keeping one hand above water because I forgot to remove my Apple Watch. I dragged her to the rock formation, and watched as the jungle disappeared and turned back into our hotel room. It was just an illusion! We were so weirded out that we went back to the spa to get our nails done... by one of the soldiers from Descendants of the Sun!

I just woke up to the followup of a dream I'd already mentioned here where I'm a Princess who ordered the death of her older brother and killed about 2 million people as collateral damage.

In the dream I'm in hiding, along with most of my crew, because they all support what I ordered. The ones who didn't agree with me left my battlecruiser at the last fuel stop we had several hundred light-years ago.

When the dream starts my battlecruiser is hiding at the L1 Lagrange point in between a red dwarf and a neptune-sized planet with almost everything except for life support turned off. Much of the dream is me watching my remaining Junior Officers argue about which of the habitable planets we know about is the best one to escape to. I got so sick of their fighting that I just picked one at random and said "We're going here. Set a course."

Early this morning I had a three layer Dream Within a Dream:

• First, I dreamed that I woke up this morning, but our bathrooms weren't working, so I was forced to take a shower in a tiny tin bucket in our pantry.
• Then the dream changed to some fake version of Tomorrowland where the main character and her friend invented a pad to break your fall in case you fell backwards. They then travelled to Tomorrowland and showed everyone their idea. "This will be especially useful for those who play Pokémon GO!" someone there said.
• Then I suddenly woke up....and I was a Grimer. I oozed out of bed and went down the stairs, and suddenly a voice said that I needed to go into town and collect a bunch of Jerkass Balls (as in actual physical balls) and I needed to collect enough to "make The Mysterious Mr. Enter cry". Instantly I was transported into town, and I got to work oozing my way around town collecting balls. A bunch of Muks were helping me, and in the corner of my vision, an icon of Enter's avatar was visible, and the more balls I picked up, the sadder he got. I woke up again before I got enough, though.

There was a third layer after that before I woke up again (this time for real) but I've forgotten what it was by now.

After my alarm went off the other day, I managed to have a lucid dream about a character of mine who is a Brain in a Jar.
