Yesterday I had a dream that they built a K-Mart adjacent to my building, and the building manager forced me into a rathole apartment right next to the cashiers. With no divider wall.

I had a kind of creepy one that seemed like a horror movie.

It was all on this submarine. It didn't have any ballast tanks, it just sealed and filled up the outer rooms in order to sink. A very stupid design, I know. I was on the crew of the submarine, and things kept malfunctioning and killing them. Several people were killed in various ways. The one I specifically remember was a guy who got his neck stuck in a painfully slow-closing door. He didn't struggle much, oddly. After an unnervingly long time, his neck finally split and his head and body fell on different sides of the now-closed door. I specifically remember that as his head fell off, I heard him expelling a breath, like the air was escaping from his severed windpipe that had been squeezed shut a moment ago.

Probably the weirdest part of it was that I saw this as a mundane, normal thing. I wasn't disturbed or squicked at all in the dream. I honestly kind of savored it.

... So, I think my subconscious is a serial killer.

Help me, I'm being held hostage in a top secret military compound and this is the only way I can communicate with the outside world!

I had a dream that I was part of some rebel group or something, and we infiltrated the headquarters for some kind of mega-corp or something, and our idea of sabotage was stealing chairs. Seriously, we sneaked into a building and stole chairs, thinking it would help bring down a mega-corp.

Dreams.

First one started off with me going to some used bookstore to look for this Garfield book that had unnerved me as a kid. Something about Garfield's nine lives or something. Bunch of short comics with various art styles. (That actually exists, right?Yay it does!) Also there was a dude who wanted that same book to stick in a collection somewhere. I decided I didn't like his reason for wanting it and he decided he didn't like my reason for wanting it, so we were both trying to find it before the other did.

Then the dream turned into something about Ouran High School Host Club characters plus Shauntal plus some random bit character who randomly confessed his love to Tamaki. Kyouya and Shauntal were teaming up to fight Tamaki for some reason and Haruhi was going to join in on Tamaki's side.

Later I had a little tag end of a dream where I was trying to fight some boss on Kingdom Of Loathing and failing.

This is the first time in a while that I've remembered a significant portion of my dreams. Huh.

Apparently, I dream in music videos now.

I had this dream about a mother and her cub resting peacefully in the setting sun. All of a sudden, this really chill acoustic guitar loop starts playing, followed up by some beatbox samples. And the mother lifts her forepaw to reveal that her cub's fur is an unnatural blue color.

The mother then starts rapping about how the cub was artificially created in a lab and dropped off in the wild to see if it could survive, and how the adoptive motherhood helps ease the pain of her mate being killed for a fur coat and about how this strange cub shouldn't die out in the wild because it'll be easy prey.

And then there was this lovely chorus about how the mother's seen and done worse things that the cub should ever have to see, and she must make a new life for him in the city.

As the sun finally disappears, the mother smiles, puts her cub on her back, and runs away to a speck of a tower in the distance, she and her cub safe under the cover of darkness.

It was really cool.

Don't ask what's wrong with me, because I don't know either.

[up]What species?

Had some weird one a few days ago. Note that I don't drive and don't have a license, and don't want to drive because it scares me (how unmanly!).

  • I'm in the backseat of a car with friends for holidays. No problems here, it happened a few weeks ago
  • Only this time we're traveling in two cars instead of car and rail
  • Here is when it gets weird, I'm asked to drive and somehow agree.
  • I now have the wheel and am driving, but I'm still in the backseat and can't reach the pedals
  • I ask my friend who's riding shotgun to man the brakes for me (there's somehow nobody in the driver seat anymore), we'll stop on the roadside so I can get in front.
  • End up doing a 180° turn as we stop safely-ish. The friends in the other car stop too and get off their car to congratulate me for the stunt.
And that's when I woke up, wondering WTF happened.

I had a dream that I actually remembered. For some reason, I was trapped on a hoodless flying bus with a group of people, and we were trying to survive and not crash for weeks.

Then I was in the bathroom, trying to go pee while surrounded by naked hunks who were hitting on each other.

Recently I had a dream where I was at an aquarium/museum/zoo type building, and I was running ahead of the people I was there with to get a look at the geology section. There, in a big glass display case, they had what they called a 'moving fossil.' It looked like a caramel-colored, partly crystallized lump of rock with a few twists and curves in it to suggest something organic underneath. Little fragments of crystal were sort of jutting off of it (like this) and they were twitching slightly, kind of like insect legs. Then the whole thing being to heave in and out, sort of convulsing, and the whole room stopped to stare at it.

I asked one of the museum's staff if this was normal, and he said 'oh yeah, it does that sometimes.' But then the rock began to crack open like an egg, and the security guard quickly grabbed his little walky-talky device and started mumbling into it very nervously. The fossil split open and out came this impossibly big, slimy creature; it looked like a cross between an eel and a plesiosaur with lionfish spines on the sides of its head. At this point the display case was inexplicably filled with water (because eh, dream logic) and the prehistoric thing started swimming around, shrugging off chunks of rock stuck to its skin as it went.

Now the whole crowd of people was gathered around the case, gawking at this freaky fossil animal. The guards were telling everyone to back off, to stay clear, let the professionals handle this. Then the creature wound itself up and bashed against the glass like a snake striking. All the staff was assuring people that the glass was strong, that it was sealed up well, and that the thing couldn't get out. So of course it did. It made a big spiderweb crack in the tank and came crashing out, flooding the room up to my ankles and flopping onto the cement floor about three yards away from me. That thing seemed to get bigger by the minute, and now it was a good ten feet long as the museum staff was rushing everyone out of the area.

The last part I remember was some labcoat-wearing officials gathering up all the museum guests and telling us, in a very grave tone, that we'd been exposed. They had us all line up and gave us injections in our arms. Normally I'm terrified of needles but in this dream it didn't seem to bother me. All I could think about was what happened to that creature.

...And that's what happens when I sleep for more than three hours at a time.

I once had a dream that was entirely a cartoon. It started out with two rabbits (one male, one female) meeting in an elevator (because for some reason they were civilised), it was Love at First Sight (think that's the trope name), the second time however one of their backs and tail got caught in the elevator door, and the elevator went up really fast and it ended up basically looking like someone had taken a knife to their back and you could see the spine (quite Happy Tree Friends), they for whatever reason, blamed this on the other one and hated them, I believe they then Skinned the other one, and then when the skinned one returns to carry on the cycle of revenge, they both get eaten by a giant jack-o-lantern out of nowhere, with no build up to this thing appearing, this Jack-o-lantern also had vines for transportation.

Two things from the past two nights:

-In one dream a guy had a backpack full of various kermit the frog puppets, which he told me he really needed for an important show. Somehow I forgot this, and ate one of them. I remember the realistic dream sensation of chewing up and swallowing felt and stuffing.

-In the next dream I was tackling a math class, which is a real-world anxiety because it's my biggest obstacle in getting a degree. I was doing alright though, because so far the class consisted entirely of a quiz about Yhatzee (the game reviewer). This is especially odd because I don't actually watch his videos often or really know anything about him. In the dream I distinctly remember the textbook asking what kind of hat he wears, and I wrote "fedora." I just found out that is incorrect in the real world :(

It then cut to him standing outside my childhood bedroom window as a menacing bogeyman. Lightning struck, and suddenly he was standing just INSIDE.

So: Last night I dreamed that, for some reason, my friends and I were putting on a production of Rocky Horror Picture Show. (I've never even seen it!) So I was somehow in church and we were about to start watching it or something, and then it was like I was in the show. It had nothing to do at all with the actual Rocky Horror...we were in a tiny kitchen and there was a musical number where all the appliances, random potted plants, etc. were talking. Then there was another song where we kept getting random gifts, a bald eagle/vulture puppet the size of a large room showed up, and I pricked my finger on a cactus. Just before I woke up, there was another song about the different types of candy that you get at Christmas - it was stuck in my head for a few minutes after I was awake. The whole thing makes exactly as much sense as it sounds.

… one day all of us will die but – a this is the important thing – we are not dead yet.

Had a dream within a dream that an ostrich (really strong legs) was holding my legs down. When I woke up, I couldn't move because I was being held down. The person doing it leaned down and whispered "I am going to kill you". Then I really woke up.

This was a longer dream, so I don't remember all of it. Luckily, I remember most of the weird part.

So I was at my grandma's old house with my brother. The place was empty. Then my mom called and said I should stay at home because there's something dangerous happening. I remembered my dad saying the same thing earlier (I think he really did earlier in the dream, but can't remember) and said so and that I was at my grandma's house.

As I headed home (wary of the supposed danger) the sky turned dark-redish. I came to a roadblock and got out of my car. As I walked up a bit I got hit by lightning and died.

I respawned back in my car and got out again. This time I was more careful and didn't get killed.

I moved toward home and more scary and dangerous things happened (I don't remember what, but I know remember it was scary and kind of cool). Somewhere along the line I met with some other people. Near home we were attacked by a guy on a motorcycle. He hit me, but only hurt me a little before being taken down. Then a woman's voice congratulated us on surviving the test. Apparently it was an experiment by some college students to study... something.

I woke up wondering how college students made the area look like Oblivion or summon monsters and lightning. I also had the urge to post it here (which I should've done earlier when I remembered more).

I had two different dreams, both involving Slender Man in some way. The first one was him stalking me in his usual way, sometimes even killing people off screen.

The second one was weirder, though. He wasn't just a normal stalker in this one. He was a Stalker with a Crush. And my boyfriend and family were there trying to protect me from him as we went to different locations to get away from him. But seeing that this was Slender Man, he would just pop up anyways. So yeah...Thankfully, he never got to me in either dreams. I don't even wanna imagine what would've happened in the second one...

I had one last night where I kept going around a hardware store whacking everything with a mallet. I can't remember if I broke anything or not, but I eventually got myself kicked out at the end. And they made a huge sign that told everyone I've been barred from the store. They spelled my name wrong on it.

Two nights ago, I had a dream where I was reading a creepypasta. Basically the dream was me reading it and imagining it. It was about this couple. They were in the bedroom when one of them looked up to see a note scribbled in red on the ceiling saying "I did this". I then think their daughter came in and attempted to murder them. The wife didn't survive, but the weaker man survived. Then it was just multiple reimaginings of what happened. The ending I didn't get, so I scrolled down to the comments. Apparently, all of the story was the hallucinations of a couple going under some sort of heart surgery.

Last night, I dreamt I had a Portal gun and was portaling around this place. I portaled up to a platform and who do I meet. G La DOS.

The rest I don't remember except there was a rickety elevator my mom and me were on and some...lucidity graph.

I think I dreamt I was dreaming lucidly I guess.

Dreamt that my parents asked me what I was going to cosplay for the next con. (Also, in the dream, they lived together, though they're divorced in real life). My dad asked me if I was going to cosplay the Once-ler, to which I replied no, and that I was going to be Lakitu(which I am) (I doubt he even knows who the Once-ler is, so that's strange...)

Some time ago, I dreamt that I had went to see Rainbow Dash perform a Sonic Rainboom for a competition (it might have been the Best Young Flyers Competition). Then after running into her at a log cabin, I somehow wound up in the abandoned Aperture Science Enrichment Spheres with my dad and younger brother. We didn't find any Portal Guns, but thankfully, we never ran into any tests that needed them, which is strange since Portals were the cornerstone of the tests. We did run into a Repulsion Gel Test, where my brother injured his leg in a particularly long fall. Later on, we ran into strange security robots, which we destroyed using assault rifles disguised as Sweet and Salty Nut Bars.

I don't remember much after that, but I can say that the dream reached its weirdest from Aperture Science onward.

Okay, fine! I'm going to do something I'm sort of good at!

Recently I was dressed in medieval garb on foot with some others, and I remember that for some reason we were fighting good ol' Sir Lancelot the Brave (Monty Python And The Holy Grail) who was actually on a proper horse, some small fighting and I actually taunted him, he charged at me and I threw my spear at him... and missed, just in case I missed I used the momentum from the throw to try and roll out of the way, to no luck as I got a sword gash down my back, crippled in pain I was taken to this weird medical camp, on the way whilst on a stretcher I claimed to King Arthur that I was infiltrating the group I was part of and I was on his side all along, he didn't acknowledge my existence and I was just placed down...

Next door to none other than Harry Potter and a really chavy actor playing Ron. I saw a Doctor walking over near me, and then I saw him go to Harry and Ron, when I could see no visible wounds at all, so naturally I complained... not to the doctor, but to Harry and Ron, I basically said something along the lines of "You wizards are pansies" and then I got into a short argument with Ron about the relative power of a wizard, before I got fed up of his stupid face and punched him in the side of the head.

Ron then pulled a wand out to try and cast a spell at me, I saw this and grabbed his wand and his hand, therefore eliminating the power (according to my dream). What does he do? Pulls out another bloody wand and I get possession of the other wand, He boasts something along the lines of "What are you going to do with that?" and then I very meekly just say "Windgardium Leviosa?" doesn't work. Ron then claimed that he had finished brewing a potion, and then for no reason my Dream ended there.

For those who are wondering how the guy crippled in pain from a sword slash down the back moved to punch a Chavy Ron, I guess the only rational explanation is I got a tonne of Adrenaline from being so mad. After this I believe I have an inherent hatred of Wizards or Main Characters who get special priority treatment.

Edit: This post was poorly written in mine, and probably other's, opinions but this best describes what happened in that dream.
