Weird dreams

My dreams last night featured all sorts of random things, but the only thing I can remember clearly for the most part was the end, which derailed into a Popeye cartoon:

My family and I were in a large Barnes & Noble-like store and looking at their selection of movies and Disney Infinity figures. While there, I picked up a Popeye DVD, and that's when the dream became a Popeye cartoon.

I don't remember if the short had a title, in fact, it just went straight into the cartoon if I remember correctly. Olive Oyl was at the top of a ship's mast and about to fall, but then Popeye made a spinach powered super jump and brought her safely back down to the ground. Then all the characters present (Popeye, Olive, Bluto, Wimpy, and Swee Pea) went to bed. It then showed what all the characters were dreaming.

Bluto was having a bad dream where Popeye was beating him up for messing with Olive. Swee Pea was dreaming that he was eating cookie after cookie until he became one himself and turned into a pile of crumbs. Wimpy was dreaming that two hamburgers he was about to eat grew giant and began chasing him. Then it went to Popeye's dream, where he was trying to save Wimpy, Swee Pea, and Olive from Bluto the mad scientist. Popeye managed to rescue Wimpy and Swee Pea, but went he went to save Olive, things suddenly went completely off the rails. Popeye beat up Bluto, and then went to get Olive as Wimpy and Swee Pea tied Bluto up. Upon getting to Olive however, Olive told Popeye that everyone was not who they seemed. Popeye spun around just in time to see the heads of Swee Pea, Wimpy, and Bluto pop off, revealing that they were really Wimpy, Swee Pea, and Popeye respectively. Popeye walked up to the second Popeye and wondered if this was Popeye, then who was he? His head then popped off in a way similar to the others, revealing that he was really...Olive! Then Olive woke up...and she was back on top of the mast about to fall, only to get rescued by Popeye, thus revealing all the events of the short to be a series of dreams within her dream...within a film in my dream!

I'm getting some serious Schrödinger's Butterfly vibes from this...

I dreamt last night that I was in a Rocky-style Training Montage, where I was being trained on how to use stuff like swords, spears, and shields. To really drive home the Rocky parallels, the music playing was "Burning Heart" from Rocky IV. And my coach was played by none other than Sean Connery. I was about to climb a tree growing in Connery's house when my alarm woke me.

I set the alarm to an hour later, hoping to get back to my training, but instead I had a dream about walking across the parking lot of the store where I work. With me were four other people. One was a gorgeous Perky Goth with Super-Strength, and the others were friends who, for some reason, were dressed like Shaggy, Daphne, and Velma from Scooby Doo. It apparently wasn't intentional, since they seemed embarrassed when I pointed it out.

At one point, I tripped, and the goth lady pulled me up easily. I commented on how hot it is that she can do such feats of strength (I'm a pretty big guy). She didn't seem to like it, so I said nothing more about it. We got into the store, and she hands me an invitation to her wedding, effectively shutting down any more potential flirting I'd attempt.

To properly explain my dream last night, I'm going to have to explain some things about Snapimals, a mobile game I've been playing lately. The main draw of the game is that you get to explore beautiful, virtual environments and take photos of the animals there. The animals are all friendly, nonviolent, and overall adorable.

So in my dream, I was in a very weird version of the game. I was in some sort of water park, and there were alligators everywhere. Big ones, small ones... and they were all trying to kill me. I don't remember exactly, but there may have even been someone who was intentionally sending them after me.

After running from the alligators for a little, the sky got dark, and suddenly I was out in the middle of nowhere. These huge, shadowy... things started appearing in the night sky... and eventually, God himself appeared too! I thought for sure I was dead, but just like the animals in the game, none of them seemed like they wanted to hurt me. And I was even able to take photos of them!

It was a trailer for this made for TV movie where the president of the United States tried to absorb all of Planet Earth's gravity to make himself the strongest person in the world. It worked because dream logic, but because the gravity got weaker, everyone else eventually started floating around and he just stood on the ground looking really ripped. Some cutesy character tried to attack the president, but there wasn't enough gravity for it to work so he bounced off.

Disclaimer: I watched DBZ roughly 90 minutes before going to sleep that night.

I think I've just had the most Crazy Awesome dream I can remember:

Bacon Zorp and I were in a video game^note By this, I mean that we weren't sitting in front of a TV holding controllers - we were actually in the game as characters. Gameplay-wise, it was similar to old 3D platformers like Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon, and even had a similar artstyle. It also had a few elements of point-and-click adventure games, as we would have to look for objects we would use later.

The first thing I remember was Bacon and I being stuck in some sort of hospital or mental facility (Sadly, it wasn't Sparklecare) where the doctors were brainwashing the patients so they wouldn't want to leave. But we escaped... somehow.

Anyway, we walked out the hospital's front doors... and right into a Nazi rally. Hitler had his back turned to us, and we needed a distraction to escape, so Bacon turned into some weird pony with bat wings to attack Hitler. After struggling for a few seconds, Hitler shouted "FIRE!", but Bacon dodged, so every soldier accidentally shot Hitler instead. During the chaos that ensued, I got on Pony!Bacon's back, and we flew out of there. As we were flying away, Bacon revealed that he had found another Plot Coupon at the rally.

We time-travelled years into the future, where the hospital had been replaced with a Circus of Fear. There were a bunch of creepy clowns outside, asking us to join them. Even I - the one who usually likes clowns - thought they were scary as hell, and we both promptly decided that maybe there wasn't anything too important in the circus.

But then I decided that since Bacon had saved me from the Nazis, I owed it to him to go in the circus. Unfortunately, we needed more money and a clown suit to do that, so we had to go back and do some grinding first.

Unfortunately, the last thing I remember was finding the clown suit and putting it on.

... Well, didn't expect to read that. Can't tell if that's weird or awesome.

I was in a very crowded mall and I was hunting ghosts from Luigi's Mansion with the Poltergust 5000.

I dreamed that the Trash Heap was putting on a production of Hamilton, but it was cancelled because ~AdricDePsycho couldn't be there. We then consoled ourselves by singing our favourite songs from the musical (somehow, despite it being a textual medium), and I was about to rap the second half of Right Hand Man in under a minute but then I woke up, it was 3 in the morning, I was sideways on my bed, I had to turn on the light to put my pillow back onto my bed, and couldn't go back to sleep. I lost two good hours of sleep.

But I don't even know any Hamilton songs...

OK. This morning I pulled an Inception. I mean, I had a dream within a dream:

• First layer: I had a dream that I was sleeping on a folding bed in the hallway at my work. In this dream, I woke up and looked at my watch to see it was 2:30 pm, and had a manager from a different department help me move the bed into my room - but since it wasn't the room I work in, I set up a turret (something between Bastion from Overwatch and light machinegun turret from Fallout) and woke up for good. But before I woke up in this dream, I had a dream in this dream:
  • Second layer: I had a dream that I was riding a bus with my friend from the university, we were discussing porn, and when I looked at my watch it was 5 pm, so I started musing how 5pm is the best time for beer, because it's early enough to have a couple of them and then go home to get enough sleep, but late enough to make you look like a hard-working person having some time to relax at last. But then I realized that the bus was going through some weird locale, a common nightmare freakout of mine, so I woke up or so I thought.

I had a dream today, where I was at school and used the power of deductive reasoning to find out I wasn't in a dream.

But, you know, I was.

I dreamed that I was at a pool party with my phone. I actually have a waterproof case, but I didn't bring it, so what happens next I guess is on me. Anyway, I was at the party and a friend of mine (who I'm going to call Steve for sake of the story) told me to jump in. I just took out my phone and said I had to put it away. Steve didn't listen and pulled me into the pool, shorting out my phone.

So I drowned him.

Basically, as I learned up to this point, if you're the antagonist in one of my dreams, you're straight fucked. Weird part is in real life, Steve is usually the dominant one.

Now that I've watched Markiplier's playthrough of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, I had an oddly emotional dream about it last night. Spoilers below.

This dream was an AU where Baby and her friends were not designed to kill children, did get to be stage performers at a family restaurant, and never turned into Ennard. They were still sentient, though (at least, Baby was).

The company who created them hired me to design a new animatronic character for them. I submitted a sketch of my character (I can't remember what it looked like, though), and they promised that they would begin building it. In the meantime, they hired me as a human performer. My job was to dress up in a clown suit, and join the animatronics on stage as kind of a host for them.

On my first performance, Baby summoned all the animatronics from the previous games and sent them to kill me. I ran for my life, but nobody in the audience was concerned (I guess they thought it was All Part of the Show.)

Anyway, I survived somehow, and as I continued performing with the Funtime animatronics, I began to make friends with them.

But one day, the executives brought me back to the office, saying that they had changed their minds on the design I submitted. They thought it was horrible, and they decided not to finish building the animatronic. One guy was so mad at me that he grabbed some object I was holding and chopped it up with a hatchet. And then they fired me and banned me from the restaurant for life.

Before I left, I remember writing a "goodbye" letter to the animatronics, telling them how much I enjoyed working with them, and how much I would miss them.

I dreamt that Pikipek's evolutions were Dark/Fire types, without Levitate to compensate their weakness to Ground-type moves.

the other day, or maybe it was last night, i cant remember

i had a dream about a boy

i dont remember much about the boy or the dream in general, but i remember he was super cute and super into me, but i was too nervous/afraid to do anything about it

until he said something to me, i cant remember what, but whatever it was, it suddenly occurred to me to just kiss him, on impulse, and

even though it was a dream, i swear i could feel his lips

and i just felt so proud of myself for having the courage to do that, and it felt so good, everything was finally right and it was just perfect

and then, i woke up

and i was so disappointed, everything suddenly felt wrong and it was just completely awful

i

want to have this dream again

i want to dream it again and i want to never ever ever wake up from it

So many sweet dreams from which nobody wants to wake up. My oneiric life in a nutshell.

I went into work only for my shift to be told there was no more work to do. So I went with my frequently unemployed cousin to find a new job and found an opening building industrial steel containers. My cousin had applied and failed before, after getting in an altercation with the trainer, which is the only reason I signed on, hoping I could resolve any further conflicts before they escalated. The interviewer was a skinny Ugandan man who had nothing good to say about us and was demonstrating anti theft measures built into the containers rather than teaching us how to our job. My cousin was suddenly my much quicker to anger uncle, who was also as young as me for some reason, and thus more than up to fighting this man, I couldn't stop them.

It turns out we were being taught how to infiltrate and steal from international shipping companies as their products were leaving warehouses, so we didn't get in trouble, but we didn't get the job either. My boss, hearing about this, decided he was going to pull strings to get me my old warehouse job to show how wrong it was I was not hired. Instead of telling him I hated that old job and didn't really care about losing the one I was only trying to help my cousin/uncle get I agreed, and didn't realize until halfway into the day that I would be getting a smaller pay check for harder work with no other women around, though most of my current coworkers were also in the warehouse and for some reason knew how to do everything so it wasn't as bad as I thought.

During break we saw some people trying to steal from the containers but we also saw sever warehouse security teams on patrol(which I have never seen in real life but it didn't surprise my dream self for some reason) so we didn't feel the need to do anything about it. The job sucked anyway and we were on break. But going back to work an alarm sounded, helicopter blades and explosions were heard outside, and while rushing to the tornado shelter we found The Megas, or five pieces of it because for some reason was it now required for five different operators to drive five different robots and combine them together to form The Megas. We set about doing that but got shot apart before we could finish and I plummeted into the basement I never knew the warehouse had(which makes the tornado shelter seem redundant, maybe that was my brain coming up with something better after the fact?). We found that the pieces of Megas were scattered but still intact, went about identifying them, then took our second break.

Rushing back to work to I had to scale some railing up a wall to avoid being run over by a careless forklift driver. We all resolved to earn our pay check by putting Megas back together, getting back our shipment, and then telling our boss we were never going to work here again. Then I woke up. Two hours had gone by, the man I had planned to go out wit never arrived to pick me up. So, another weekend on TV Tropes...

Something weird happened with my dream last night: At one point in my dream, I was with two kids who began wrestling with each other. When they got too rough I walked over to stop them, only for one of them stand up directly into my chin hard enough to send me flying backwards. Upon hitting the ground, I woke up, and for some reason, I felt like I had actually been punched in the face because I still felt light-headed.

Other things happened in the dream as well, such as me visiting some sort of Saturday Morning TV fan club and my family and I driving around the country and picking up a hitchhiking Donald Trump. (My grandma was bizarrely ecstatic, but of course the rest of us weren't.)

I had an interesting dream that started with a dinner, with both presidential candidates on both sides of the table, and actually being reasonable.

They answered questions, acted jovial, and enjoyed the shrimp and chicken. They also asked me for an endorsement, for a reason I did not yet get.

Shortly after the dinner, I excused myself, and went behind a vending machine, revealing an elevator to some sort of underground metropolis, similar to Rapture, or Apeture Science, but more city like.

Whatever I was up to, I can't remember, but it ended with myself, a girl in a costume similar to Tobi's outfit, several men, an armored brute, and a figure holding a clipboard, similar to Nastasia, sitting at a table and conversing.

From a few nights ago...

I didn't write this one down for some reason so I'm not exactly sure but, I remember I had been asked to be some kind of glasses cam? And I remember walking with 2 other people up to this kind of short but very thick tree with purplish-red bark with stuff written all over it. I walked up and hugged the tree while the other two hung back and read what was written on the tree; I don't remember anything specific but it was all apparently rather ominous. While this was happening the wind was blowing hard and the sky was very dark and covered in clouds, like a bad storm was coming on.

Then suddenly the atmosphere got even worse, and me and the two other people decided we needed to run for shelter and started to leave. It got kind of intense, and I remember there were actually dead birds falling out of the sky. Suddenly we were near this concrete cliff sort of thing, and a helicopter landed; someone came out and I recognized her as an ally, and she told us to get in.

There was also some disjointed stuff that involving apartments? I remember I was going up to what was apparently my room, and finding the edge of the rain on the walkway outside. I sat down in front of it and stuck my hand under it, and the water somehow formed together and wrapped around my hand - if you've seen the Moana trailer it was a lot like that - at which point I got a little spooked and pulled my hand back. This was followed by the aforementioned part of the dream, and after that I got a flashback or something of a woman (?) coming to my door and asking me to do it.

There was some other weird stuff about... whatever was the background behind the storm scene but I can't remember any of it, and I have a vague image of some kind of webpage, laid out like it should be a profile but with no info. There was a lush jungle background and gold trim on the boxes where information should go, and the boxes themselves had a translucent white background. I also recall thinking “oh fuck i forgot the medallions” at some point, in a tone of horrified realization, and for some reason whatever the context was I feel like I've dreamed about it before.

In my dream last night, I was back in the beginning of high school. There was this kid a few years older than me who lived next door to my family. (Note that this kid isn't real.) One day, I got an "invitation" to a Halloween party he was throwing at his house that night. It was more of a threat than an invitation - he said that if I didn't come, he would drop all my grades in school to 1%.

I didn't go to the party that night, and the next morning, I found that somehow, he really had dropped my grades to 1%, and I was horrified. Yet, for some reason, I still didn't go to his parties (apparently, he threw one every night).

Then one night, I finally decided to go. So I snuck out of the house and went into his house, which was much Bigger on the Inside. He had a big, movie theater screen set up so that all his guests - there were at least a hundred of them, and they were all older than me - could watch him playing Five Nights at Freddy's. He had a bunch of costumes for anyone who hadn't brought one of their own, so I chose a bear costume. (I'm glad to know my dreams have a sense of humor like that!)

From then on, I went to his house every night for a party. They were mostly Halloween parties, but he did have a few Christmas parties too. Eventually, my whole family started coming with me.

Something about a creepy old guy trying to undress me in front of a girl, being stuck on a submarine full of Robin Williams memorabilia & the cast of Dinosaur Train singing "Empire State of Mind". I don't know either.

It was year 2001 and I had to present the final exam of Biology. However, we had to do it in a far away place from the school, so by the time we were done (and somehow I was able to answer all question despite having been very nervous), the bus took us back to the city. However, they left me in the west frontier, and it was late night already! Good thing the avenue was still fairly populated, so I could walk peacefully among the people.When I approached the pharmacy (placed close to the road that forked from the avenue to the street where my house was), I was given for free some bags with food, but they were so heavy that I had to carry them slowly. I wake up when I was heading to the street leading to my house.

My dream last night started out with an episode of The Simpsons. First, it showed a PTA meeting at Bart and Lisa's school, with an old woman playing an Ominous Pipe Organ. For some reason, Mangle was part of the PTA. Once the PTA was done talking about... whatever they talk about, Mangle started talking about how sad and lonely she^note They have an Ambiguous Gender in canon, but I personally think they're female was. She also said that she needed $420 for something, and one PTA member, who apparently had a crush on her, said that he wanted to help out, but he only had $20.

Then the dream switched to a hilariously weird version of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location's Bad Ending. So, after the Technician was "scooped", and Ennard crawled into his body, he and two other animatronics tried to drive away. Unfortunately, since animatronics don't know how to drive, they failed miserably. They ended up in some building containing a made-up dinosaur called something like "Molosaurus". It basically looked like a fat T-rex. And so, the Molosaurus tried to eat the animatronics, and they tried to run away. I can't remember how it ended.

You know those five-second-or-less dreams that happen when you're half-asleep and your eyes may not even be closed? Well, those are usually the only ones I remember.

Last night before actually falling asleep, I had a mini-dream that was an advertisement for a custard-flavored breakfast cereal, catchily called "Custy Pus". I saw nothing strange in this till several seconds after the dream ended.
