Weird dreams

That's amazing! XD All aboard the rolling office chair train!

Also, "Steamed Hams but it's like the circles that you find in the Windmills of Your Mind" Someone needs to make this immediately!

Don't you mean "Steamed Hams but it's Quite Similar to the Circles They Have in the Windmills of Your Mind"?

That dream I posted back on page 271 was almost two years ago! I didn't even remember it until reading that post...ahem

One of my childhood friends was now living in my neighborhood for some reason, which was now a suburb of Detroit rather than Chicago Land, and working at the same job I was, for some reason. We had been car pooling for weeks but today I was just over to meet his kids, because for some reason he was much older than me now and his kids were closer to my age.

He unexpectedly served me breakfast, which I remember being quite fancy before it quickly became the breakfast I had eaten before falling asleep, eggs and toast, and then two large but cute dogs of his came to the table. One of these dogs was more interested in licking me than begging for food, and in fact pressed its head under my shirt to lick my stomach. I pulled it out from there, with some difficulty on account of its size, and then hugged its neck while it struggled to lick my hands or face.

I took his kids out to an independent pro wrestling event, can't remember the promotion, not that there are any anywhere in Michigan that would be booking El Hijo del Santo and Perro Aguayo Jr(who was still alive, for some reason), in the opener no less. It was awesome enough that I didn't even mind a guy from my school days I never liked was sitting next to me and we ended up storming the ring in excitement. After the match was over we went back to our seats to wait for the next contest when a train whistle blew through the sound system, followed by a generic if catchy guitar riff, I may have used it as a CAW entrance theme in one of the Day Of Reckoning games, and out came Albert, not as Giant Bernard, not even as Tensai, but as A-Train.

I started to lose my enthusiasm for the show but everyone else seemed to be reacting to A-Train with the same enthusiasm they had for the luchadors. Both my friend's kids and the guy I didn't like urged me to come with them as they rushed to the ring again, and I was starting to warm up to the idea of cheering for A-Train, since everyone else was doing it, but when I stood up from my seat I couldn't will myself down the steps. I just wasn't feeling it.

Then I woke up. I was only half dressed and had ten minutes to leave for work.

I was watching a leaked MLP episode where Spike became the janitor of Equestria in order to bust Grand Pear out of prison. One part involved Hagrid kicking down the Whomping Willow, whose roots grew inside one of my school's classrooms. My classmate was inside, screaming, "the struggle is real!" but that was because she was angsting about our thesis.

I then looked up that episode on This Very Wiki and saw that it was a Wham Episode.

"Anemone dear, I know you want to be more independent from me, but... please take care, okay?"

They'd built a new hotel on the abandoned airbase in my former hometown. My mom and I checked in to get a room. I was struggling to get the wifi to work since I'd brought my old laptop instead of the one I have now. The room was very weirdly shaped, as two of the four walls were diagonal. We found some minor problems in the room, but for some reason, there were also two dead squirrels we found on the floor. Mom and I demanded our money back.

I was stuck standing in place in my bedroom, it was pitch black, and I was batting away at some sort of terraced panel on the wall. I couldn't get it open, and all I could do was keep batting away at it. I even realized it's a dream.

Until I pulled a cord on the panel and it opened, and I realized that I was awake and standing in front of a window at two o'clock in the morning.

Weird quasi-dream I guess?

There are two male, avant-garde singers rehearsing in a warehouse-like space with some musicians and their two (male) producers. The first singer is a “conventionally handsome” tenor The second is a bass, who is very tall and completely bald, resembling a circus strongman or a pro wrestler. They sing alternately, and the music they make is something like Magma with chamber-music backing (so maybe Magma meets Art Zoyd?). The bass performs a song with a duo of cellos. He then has an argument with the producers, who are these sleazy, Hollywood agent types. He leaves the rehearsal space in an angry huff.

Later, both the singers are in their apartment, and have turned into 2-D cartoon characters with heavy ink outlines. It seems they are secretly gay lovers. They have make-up sex in the bathtub.

But it seems the producers sold their services to money-hungry aliens for some nefarious purpose. The aliens shine a rectangular light over their residence and whisk them off to who knows where.

Cut to a young blonde girl on a suburban street, who misses the singers. As near as I can tell, they were like beloved “gay uncles” to her. The aforementioned aliens have changed her into a fairy, complete with pink tutu and magic wand. She is talking with her mother about her intention to find them while standing outside the front door of their house. The mother has been turned into a witch, also with a magic wand, by the aliens.

But pixies with pointy hats immediately surround the fairy girl and pick her pockets. She is powerless to stop them, though she tries using her fairy wand, she doesn’t know how because she’s inexperienced (despite her being able to fly).

She winds up in the middle of a traffic circle, where some people in a passing car (one of whom appears to be Jimmie “J.J.” Walker) point and laugh at her misfortune. She explains that pixies robbed her, but they just dismiss her claims and say that she must be on drugs.

As it turns out, everything I just described was an old educational film I was watching in a warehouse space. When it’s over, I leave through an adjoining warehouse. A woman is talking with an older warehouse worker about her young son, who is climbing a scaffolding. He is powerless to stop him as the boy winds up being crushed by a scissor lift. I look away from the scene, but the woman’s scream as her boy is killed by the machinery is terrible.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!

I'm unsure of whether to keep this up for long cause it sounds like a book I could write, but here's the gist:

I was in a building and came across a thing that was like a mix of an indoor ski left, an elevator, and a phone. It had buttons like a phone, moved like an elevator, and was in a tunnel and moved like a ski lift. Pressing these buttons, as a password of sorts, made it go to different places, but every place was a parallel universe. Some were better or worse than others, some had minute differences from what I could tell, some had major ones.

One had a me that had just escaped a cult. Another i was in had the building be a run-down hospital, but people still worked there, as did I. Another had people trying to beat me up for some slight, another had slightly different video games/internet. Speaking of the internet, the more places i went the more 'mes' caused havoc on social media, cause apparently the one constant was we all had the same username and password. I had to explain to someone out to get me that no, that comment wasn't 'me'.

I remember one place was nice enough but deliberately inconvenient.Their password to leave was something like Hv8dW330. I was like 'can't you make it a little easier, guys;' and they were like 'Maybe.'

After a ton of shenanigans i THINK i found my original world or whatever was closest to it, and just left the place, took the day off enjoying the sun. But i don't think it was quite like my world cause a bunch of ants were eating fall leaves.

One variation of the 'tunnel' had a glass window. i looked through it during a transition. it looked like the glass shattered but it was more the entire world shattering and recreating itself. I hope this didn't mean that by entering or leaving those worlds I was destroying or damaging them...

The Protomen enhanced my life.

At last, I finally remembered a dream(s) I had last night:

My folks and I were going to the beach to visit some relatives. The trip down was uneventful save for meeting up with Justin Timberlake (who for some reason was going by the name Spencer) and Spyro along the way for some reason. We got there, and, after chilling with said relatives, I stepped outside for a moment and bumped into "Spencer" and Spyro again. They told me that the Heart of this world needed to be sealed and since Sora was busy elsewhere, they were going to let me borrow a Keyblade in order to do so. They gave me one, and suddenly my relatives' house turned into this huge tower. "Spencer" turned me into a Yoshi in order for me to get up the tower faster, and away I went.

After a relatively uneventful trek up the tower, I sealed the keyhole, and suddenly the tower turned into a tower of shiny sugar cubes (that looked suspiciously like the Turkish Delights in that one Mickey Mouse short). I was told that the tower was fading out of existence and I needed to get down fast. So I quickly began climbing back down and made it down just before the tower (and my relatives' house) vanished completely. Fortunately, all of my folks were alright and made it out with everything important. However, the house was gone. My folks told me that we were going out to eat with our relatives (because what else do you do when the house you're in turns into a tower of sugar cubes and gradually fades from existence?) and so we left and went into town. At some point along the way I turned back into my normal self.

I can't remember if we actually ate anything or not, because the next thing I knew, I was in the town by myself, without my shirt on, and was told that my folks had left for home without me. Not knowing what else to do, I began making my way back to my relatives' house (which everyone (including me, apparently) had forgotten had ceased to exist). Along the way, I passed through a large arcade and it also began to snow. I ended up bumping into "Spencer", Spyro, and Santa Claus(?!) as I walked and we chatted about random things as we continued on our way back to the house. After getting there, I went in (the other three abruptly disappeared before I did so) and found my relatives safe and sound. They told me that my family was on their way back to get me and I could hang out with them for a while as I waited.

Then my cousin attempted to put a cat in a fireplace and I, for no real reason at all, turned into a Bagon. Then I woke up.

"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

So I had a dream that I was at a mall, dressed up in my LARP clothes, and there was some kind of devil who looked like Miraculous Ladybug about three feet tall and he ripped someone's head off but not before stretching the neck to comical proportions.

Best ending ever.

My dream last night was strange, but nice.

In the first part, for some reason, I was creating a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic OC. He was an anthropomorphic wolf or hyena, but he was an Adorkable kid who had a crush on one of the ponies.

Then I was in some restaurant run by a serial killer who was cooking people into his food. I just noped right out of there. :P^note Now that I think about it, this is actually kind of a Crowning Moment Of Awesome for me. I have so many dreams where I get horribly killed and injured in some way, but in this one, I managed to completely avoid it.

While running from the restaurant, I suddenly came upon a church. I decided to go in, and it turned out that the church was just beginning a service. While reading the announcements, the minister announced that one of the biggest contributors to TV Tropes, who apparently lived nearby, had died recently. His brother was at the service, dressed in some sort of funny costume (because, apparently, the troper loved wearing costumes, and "it's what he would have wanted.")

After the service, I went up to the guy's brother and told him I was a troper too. I can't remember what we said after that, but we eventually hugged.

Last night:

I dreamed that Disney XD switched back to the Toon Disney branding to celebrate what would have been its 20th anniversary. I don't remember all of what I saw, but what I do remember is that:

• Some old Toon Disney bumpers were shown along with newer Toon/XD bumpers.
• Most of the shows featured were fake shows with Word Salad Titles, none of which I can really remember of the top of my head. I think most of them were mash-ups of existing show titles.
• The shows that were real shows were shows that never actually aired on Toon Disney or XD. Go figure.

One of the few specific things that I do remember seeing was some sort of interstitial that involved Arthur playing doctor for a sick Ickis with assistance from the Warner siblings. I remember Arthur was acting completely out of character and acting just as screwy as the Warners, even taking the medicine that was meant for Ickis himself.

"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

How do you guys remember your dreams in such vivid detail...?

Anyway, last night I dreamed I was playing some sort of weird Star Fox clone where your goal was, inexplicably, to get to the end of the level before your ship's fuel ran out. There were barrel rolls in the game, too.

A great Mascot Mook.

RIP Arthur. He took bad medicine. :P

I'm not really sure how I'm able to do it... I guess it's different for everyone.

My dream last night was pretty interesting...

It started with me in my dorm room. In this version, my roommates and I each had a screen above our bedroom doors. We could choose a model of any character (it worked similarly to VR Chat) to show and any song to play whenever we were home. All I really remember was that I used a model of Tails^note Specifically, I think it was his model from Sonic R or Sonic the Fighters, but I can't remember what music I used. One of my roommates used some memetic character (probably Barry B. Benson, or maybe Gene), along with earrape music.

And then I was watching a sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was just an Animated Adaptation of The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge, only Oogie Boogie made a Heel–Face Turn at the end.

And then it got really strange. :P

I was in some video game where this girl basically forced me into committing crimes with her. We had to go into an aquarium and steal some valuable thing hidden in one of the tanks. We had to shoot our way through a bunch of security guards while riding on some big, flying creature, and at some point, I suddenly turned into Bendy, which caused the guards to stop chasing us and begin singing, for some reason. But once I grabbed the thing that the girl wanted me to steal, they started chasing us again.

Once we got to the exit, we were blocked by the owner of the aquarium, who was Toriel. We somehow got past her and escaped. It was weird.

All I can remember from my dream last night is going to my local Gamestop in order to find Popplio/Brionne/Primarina memorabilia. As I was looking at some figures of the line, some guy came in and started playing ARMS (I think) on the Nintendo Switch demo kiosk. As I was continuing to decide what to get, I asked the guy who his favorite ARMS character was.

The guy then suddenly flew into a rage and began ranting to me about...how no one made PC games for Macintosh computers and only made them for Windows computers for what felt like five minutes straight. Once he was done, he went back to playing his game like nothing ever happened. I left without buying anything.

All that I can remember happening afterwards was suddenly being one of the hyenas from The Lion King (I think I was Ed) and travelling with Scar and a bunch of other hyenas to Japan (which looked nothing like Japan when we got there) and getting hit by a tornado. After that, I woke up.

I really couldn't tell you where the Switch guy's rant came from. I have no real frustrations with Macintosh computers that I know of that would warrant it getting vented out in my dreams.

"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Generally I write the more interesting dreams down as soon as I get up.

Not really a "Weird" dream, more of a "feels" dream.

I was at this big party with a bunch of people I didn't recognize. They were all gathered around outside on a deck or something, and doing country and rock cover songs. I asked if I could join in and they said yes. So I did a few songs with them, alternating between bass and mandolin.

There was a huge table with a bunch of pizzas on it, and a freezer full of ice cream treats. I remember having this unflappable feeling of positivity the likes of which I haven't felt in ages. Now to figure out how to get that feeling again in Real Life...

I had a dream that there was a new Klonoa game for Switch. Maybe someday...

All I really remember from the game was that Joka made a Heel–Face Turn... but almost immediately afterwards, some evil force possessed him, making him bad again. :P

First, Joka, or the force possessing him, possessed something else, a big, elephant-like creature, and had it attack Klonoa.

Not long after that boss battle, there was another one, against Possessed!Joka himself. From what I remember, this battle was surprisingly awesome. Klonoa and Joka were soaring high above the ground, with Joka using a bunch of flashy magical attacks. One of his attacks involved inflating his body, which I thought was pretty cute and funny.

Also, for some reason, I seem to remember Joka wearing a robe in this game. Not sure how that would work, considering that he's a Walking Head with Floating Limbs.

The dream I had last night requires some backstory:

Yesterday evening, I was playing Scribblenauts Unlimited and trying to figure out a way to make a carnivorous plant bloom. I was getting a little stumped, so I spawned a "Magic Flower Food" and tried to use that. Instead, I got a sparkly flower packet that turned everything I used it on into flowers. My sister and I busted a gut laughing at the unexpected result.

That night, I ended up having a bizarre nightmare about the freaking Magic Flower Food where someone was using it to turn anybody she didn't like into flowers. When I woke up later, I was surprised that something so innocuous could have set up such a scenario in my subconscious.

"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Dang if I didn't have the most craziest dream last night:

It started off with me in a church as a service was going on. I was wandering around both inside and outside the sanctuary for some reason as it was going on because I was...I don't even remember why. Maybe I was bored? After a while, I wished that something interesting would happen. After that, everything went insane.

Everyone in the building started transforming in the main bad guys of every piece of media you could think of (I think I was either Captain Boomerang or Repeating Richard◊), and everything went nuts. The bad guys either began chatting or fighting with each other. You had Syndrome fighting with (I think) Vlad Plasimus over here, a giant clam villain(?) chasing and trying to eat Bruce over there (why was Bruce there, though?), and the entire Suicide Squad laughing and cutting up over back there.

The incident was making national news, and a SWAT team came in to transport us all into a parallel dimension before we could really jack things up. They did this by vacuuming us all up with a magic vacuum cleaner. The parallel world looked exactly like the normal world, except that the church now had an arcade room inside of it.

Then I "woke up" and posted about the dream on here, and began attempting to write a story about it. (With some changes; the church was now a large party in a gym and I replaced myself with Timmy Turner for example.) I was about to show it to my sister when I woke up for real.

"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Sorry...

Last night I ended up having a dream about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and it was a doozy.

It was a strange episode involving a mad scientist moving into the Banks' home. At first it was simply typical hijinks with the mad scientist doing goofy things like ruining Aunt Vivian's clothes, helping Ashley with her homework, or ruining a date Will was on. Then, out of nowhere, things got dark.

Will and Carlton did something to tick the mad scientist off (I think Will blowing up at him over ruining Will's date may have been a part of it), which caused the scientist to kidnap Hillary and threaten to put her in a machine that would erase her from existence if the Banks didn't appeal to his demands. What followed was a considerably more darker episode that saw Will, the Banks, and Geoffrey going across the country after him trying to save Hillary. Unlike most of these "imaginary episode" dreams I have, I actually got to see the conclusion of the episode, which involved Will and the others storming the mad scientist's lair on an island outside New York City, rescuing Hillary, and escaping the Collapsing Lair in a speed boat. I can't remember all that happened afterwards besides Phillip insisting that the family take a vacation when they got home.

"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

I don't blame you. I wish I could remember my recent dreams well. I'll put as much as I can remember below, but first I wanna say some things about your dreams.

The Magic Flower Food one does sound pretty creepy. I'm sure there are certain types of flowers that are associated with death, so maybe that could work as an actual story premise.

For the second one... best church service ever. That's all I can say. My church dream was pretty depressing in comparison (see 7836.)

---

Now, a little while ago, I had a dream about this unusual hospital. I can't remember much about it, except that to get to the front entrance, you went through this long, beautiful marble tunnel. Maybe the hospital was supposed to represent heaven? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just a few nights ago, there was this other dream that I barely remember. I think me and my family went to a lake somewhere. There were these creatures swimming around in the water, and I think I befriended them? I don't know.

Still hoping for Klonoa to get a new game... or a movie like this

I was standing in the hallways of what looked like a school or similar classroom-type building, holding a pen and a calendar. (There was a reason for this earlier in the dream but I don't recall the details). People kept walking over, taking the calendar and pen, writing weird things on it, then returning them. This happened a couple dozen times while I just stood there for... oh, an hour or two. Finally I started laughing and said I had to break character because the things people wrote were just too funny; either they'd added notes to appointments I already had on there (if I had "Catsitting, 9:30 AM" someone put "Don't sit on cats!") or they'd write their own weird things like "Watch myself on the 11:00 news" or "Alphabetize closet, 6:00".

Stupid doomed timeline...

I had to disguise myself as a man. I wasn't Transgender, I just had to be a guy for a while because...reasons. (I have no idea. It made perfect sense in the dream, though) I cut my hair short, wore baggy men's clothes, picked out a boy name, and went about my life.

I was supposed to meet up with my ex-husband and my kid, but got distracted by a cool arcade. I got $20 worth of quarters, and spent most of them on a Bullet Hell remake of Galaga. I ran out of quarters, so I went to 7-11 to cash my paycheck. I forgot to sign my boy name. The cashier said, "It looks like this says Jennifer." I told her that's my given name, but it's super embarrassing so I go by my middle name. She bought it.

When I went back to the arcade, a football game was on! And it quickly devolved into a massive brawl. Guys were bodyslamming each other, stomping on each other's heads, beating up the coaches, it was anarchy.

Then the alarm went off and I woke up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had a dream that I was at a mall full of cosplayers. Most of them shitty ones. I counted no less than three crappy Kroenens, full swastikas and shit, and a pimply teenage boy dressed as Tracer.

Also, there was that bit about a bizarre and terribly fucked up bathroom remodeling. I remember water spilling over from a sink, down three stairs and into the bathroom proper.
