i tend to have dreams involving myself suffering from some sort of illness (usually a stroke or some unidentifiable disease). they tend to feel so lifelike, too.

Last night, I had a dream about a reverse Death Note, kind of like Scribblenauts only with people. I drew a picture of a coworker while I was at a restaurant (because, as my thought process went, "I need to practice drawing beady little eyes right now, before the food comes"). Then he showed up! Simple, yet odd.

Last night: I dreamed that I was pretty much living The Emperors New Groove, complete with somehow turning myself into a llama, and went through pretty much all the major plot points of the movie as one. Being in a dream, though, everything eventually went off the rails and soon, I had inadvertently turned myself into Ursula and was attending a family member's birthday party.

During one of my recent nightmares I was in command of a crippled warship. The keel (i.e the ship's backbone) was a 792' long I beam and about 500' of it was missing.

The first part of the nightmare was me distracting the ship's AI while my XO and Chief Engineer disabled it because it thought the incoming fleet was an enemy. The second part was me telling the Admiral coming to rescue us that he and his entire fleet should be elsewhere because our warships can't detect whatever just wrecked mine.

I just woke up, and remembered that I had a pretty weird dream last night, so I eventually had to post it here.

There was this game on Steam named "Cupcake" (thankfully not like that MLP darkfic/creepypasta). Judging from the style it was supposedly made in RPG Maker VX. The story was about 3 magical girls/fairies (Chocola, Strawberry and Mint) from another world who had to make special cupcakes so their parents can finally appreciate them. I remember that Mint's parent was a total bitch. She was some kind of busy supermodel too. Curious of this game, in-dream me googled it and went to a TV Tropes page of it, not giving a shit about unmarked/marked spoilers (and checked the character sheet as well). I think Mint's mom did have a redemption arc.

Then, the characters and plot of the game suddenly became real (well, in the dream) and the fairies lead me to a treehouse with a mansion at the top (?) Inside, there were hundreds of framed pictures of Tintin, either fanart or official art. I finally went up the stairs and met my mom's friend who was getting her hair done (so the mansion was also a salon?) It was raining heavily, and in-dream me thought I left my iPhone charger at the bottom of the treehouse, and plugged into an outlet. Thankfully, it wasn't.

I explored the mansion even more, and there was a whole room with gaming paraphernalia. It included a Dreamcast emulator (which was on a disk for, say, Gamecube or the first Xbox?) and in turn there was a 3-in-one game disk for the Dreamcast emulator. The games included a game from the Ace Attorney series, and another one was a The Legend of Zelda game (I think it was Twilight Princess), and the third game I didn't remember. I randomly picked up a Nintendo DS and played a weird nonexistent version of Pokémon where you could play as 2 trainers, one a boy and another one a girl. I named the guy, Aioi (like the place in Japan) and the girl, Diva (coincidentally the name of my preschool friend). I named their Pokemon something, but it was (humourously) related to Applebee's. What the hell.

I got bored and stopped playing in the middle, and somehow all the electricity went down. Exploring the house even more, I caught my mom watching dangdut (a genre of music from my country) shows on national TV. Even though the electricity was totally off.

And almost finally, somehow, the Cupcake game got ported to DS and 3DS. Then, I woke up.

I shouldn't have watched that Cthulhu Mythos anime before sleeping. Or maybe, it's caused by some K-Pop music I listened in the afternoon while staying after school with some friends.

My last night's dream was....well, it was incredibly detailed even for one of my dreams. Specifically, I remember being on a convoy of wagons travelling through a jungle, escorted by a bunch of sword and spear-wielding warriors on foot. The other people on the wagons were clearly just ordinary people, some had children and even babies with them. Most of the people were humans, but some of the warriors were Lizard Folk, and some of the civilians on the wagons were humanoid dragonflies and various kinds of plant people. I remember being somehow romantically related to one of the human warriors, a young-looking one at that, and I called myself by a specific term (something between girlfriend and Camp Follower, I don't really remember) when I spoke to the other people on the same wagon (an older human woman, and a Plant Person whose body was entirely composed of vines and roots) when referring to my relationship with him.

Our talk was interrupted by the convoy suddenly stopping. I heard a deep voice coming from the jungle, not from any specific direction, demanding that we turn back immediately and claiming that this was the last warning it was going to give. The plant people jumped off the wagons right away and ran to the direction we had come from, even before the voice stopped speaking. One of the warriors yelled that we should move forward, and the convoy continued on. I remember everybody being really uneasy, and seeing something move in the jungle from the corner of my eye. Then the dragonfly people decided to follow the plant people's example, and took off on their wings. They didn't get far before huge, bright green vines extended from the jungle and grabbed them, dragged them down to the ground and oozed acid on them, melting the dragonfly people to death.

Then the vines turned onto the wagons, and suddenly it was all chaos, warriors trying to cut the vines into pieces and everybody else running away, more vines reaching out from the jungle and grabbing people, dragging them off into the darkness under the canopies. I remember running further to the road, with five warriors including the one allegedly in a relationship with me. There were no more vines, but the ground was covered in this weird, thick moss, with occasional patches of bare rock here and there. The warriors pointed to the sky, and I saw a red light, similar to a firework rocket detonating, flash up there. One of them told me that it heated the ground, and we'd be safe as long as we stayed on the moss.

Seemingly just to prove how seriously I should take this, one of the warriors was standing one foot on one of the patches of bare rock, and his entire leg MELTED. Two of the other warriors grabbed hold of him and carried him off next to a large boulder. There was a teal blue flash in the sky, and my alleged boyfriend told me that it froze the ground, and that it would be just as dangerous to step on bare ground as when it was heated by the red flash. I remember that for the rest of the dream, we just stayed there, tried to ease the pain of the man whose leg had melted, and made camp, avoiding stepping on bare rock whenever we moved.

Sometimes I wonder if these really detailed and consistent, but still otherworldly, dreams like this really are a product of our subconscious.

I was staying at a hotel, and a stray pit bull appeared! He was male, and patterned like a calico cat, so I called him Nago. I checked his collar for tags, found a "Property of the KKK" tag, so I threw the collar away and kept the dog. And then I ordered pizza.

I dreamed about a young girl and two younger teenager boys, both of whom had You Tube channels, who stopped a guy who might've been her ex-boyfriend (or someone pretending to be her ex-boyfriend) from making himself look hunk by wearing a clay disguise, with the help of a secret society of YouTubers. That dream ended with them entering a hidden door in a bathroom for men, suggesting that more adventures with the secret society of YouTubers await.

Then, the dream shifted to a beach environment, supposedly Thailand, but I have no idea what Thailand would even look like. Mostly the scenes shifted from people to people, with commentary on who those people were and what they were doing. Notably I don't remember any surfers.

I remember I woke up one morning, but didn't feel like waking up so I went right back to sleep. I proceeded to dream that I was Plucky Duck trying to avoid an anvil that was falling from the sky toward my head. The anvil followed me like a homing missile (eventually flying sideways toward me when it got close enough to the ground) until I tripped and fell. "Well, it was inevitable I guess." I sighed as the anvil came towards me.

WHANG!!!!

I woke up the moment the anvil hit me.

That's the last time I binge-watch a bunch of Tiny Toons episodes right before bed...Okay maybe not, but still

Sorry to double-post, but last night I had this amazing dream about an imaginary TV show about a bunch of Disney characters living in some Camelot-esque medieval kingdom. Darkwing Duck was the main character, and here he was a mage/wizard of some sort who...pretty much did what he does best in the real DD TV show/comics, just with magic instead of gadgets. He was still accompanied by Gosalyn.

The "episode" shown followed similarly to Robin Hood and involved the show's King Arthur analogue (I can't remember if it was the actual Disney King Arthur or was King Richard from Robin Hood), whereupon Prince John took over the kingdom. Bizarrely, Prince John had taken a level in badass was actually a very real threat. (He didn't even cry for his mommy once until the very end of the "episode".) I don't remember all the details that happened in the "episode" other than it followed much of plot of Robin Hood until the end which showed Robin Hood and Darkwing Duck facing off against Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham in an actual fight scene. Robin and DD put up a good fight until the two bad guys got the upper hand, but at this point King Arthur/Richard returned with his army(!) and put a stop to Prince John's bad deeds.

Afterwards, a narration (by Maid Marian) stated that a year passed without anything really eventful happening until Prince John decided that he was going to take the kingdom back by force. King Arthur/Richard appointed D.D. and Gosalyn to spy on Prince John and his cronies to see what they planned to do. So, D.D. and Gosalyn went outside, transformed themselves into a pair of Flygons (?!) and flew off to Prince John's hide-out.

Annoyingly, at this point the dream abruptly changed to something else, leaving the plot hanging. (Either that or I woke up right then.) The whole thing was a lot more awesome than it might sound. (Aside from Prince John, all the characters were actually in-character.)

I had a dream that my window broke, and a bunch of cats crawled through. I tried to get all the cats out but there was one that kept coming back and I ended up getting in trouble because of it.

Also I watched Steven Universe at one point. This is weird because I have never watched Steven Universe and A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017) would have been more appropriate as I was binging it before bed.

My dream last night was weird. Maybe it would make more sense if I didn't remember so little about it...

There was this rich guy who went Yandere for me. He kept changing forms throughout the dream, but the only form I remember him taking for sure was Gaston.

I was running a casino-like place with another character, who may or may not have been that guy.

There was this aquarium that may have been part of the casino-like place, and the tanks were "broken" somehow. I don't remember exactly, but I think someone was deliberately trying to kill the animals. I remember talking to them about something.

There was this giant seal or polar bear or something, and I and another character had to go into her stomach to do some sort of job, like cleaning it out.

Sorry, I wish I could remember more.

I was very extremely pregnant. I was going to have a baby. I was not going to go to the hospital; for some reason, I just couldn't. I had to figure out where I was, in a city I'd never visited, and somehow get home to have this baby.

I had one dream last night that I wanted to write about here, but then I fell asleep again, had another dream, and completely forgot what happened in the first one. tongue

I was one of the mooks working for the Big Bad, but at the start of the dream, the Big Bad left all of us stranded out in the middle of nowhere. I teamed up with another mook, and we tried to find civilization.

But we came across a problem - a river. We could have swam across, but it was inhabited by venomous pufferfish. I came up with a (kind of cruel, now that I think about it) solution to get rid of them. I made a fishing rod, then caught the smallest pufferfish, then used it to catch a bigger pufferfish so it would die, then used that pufferfish to catch a bigger pufferfish, and so on.

But then food start appearing in the river, so I took the pufferfish off the hook and attached a shopping bag to it so I could catch the food. My friend was practically addicted to cereal for some reason, so I had to keep catching cereal boxes for him.

I was somewhere in NYC, exploring an abandoned department store or something. But there were these animals running around in the streets, including at least two turtles and an alligator. One of the turtles kept trying to bite me, and somehow infected one of my fingers.

Somehow I also ended up in a small gas station that also had a very small McDonald's and a Little Caesars Pizza in it. I wanted to order some McDonald's because I saw they still had the Big & Tasty, which has otherwise been long discontinued. They also sold these weird energy drinks in plastic bottles that had the MAD magazine logo on them.

After drinking the energy drinks, I went to the bathroom, but the bathroom had two exits, one of which led to an airport terminal. I got lost and went back through the other bathroom entry to get back to what I was doing.

There were some other details I don't fully remember, including something on graph paper and some cartoon episodes.

It was one of those romantic dreams starring a coworker I have no interest in. Yuck. I got amazingly drunk, got romanced by my coworker, then had to find my way home on the bus. But I forgot where I lived, and how to take the bus home, AND how the metro area is actually arranged...so I was basically just riding buses aimlessly, hoping to find something familiar.

Also, there was a song in my head when I woke up. It was repetitive and annoying, and now I've forgotten it. *whew*

I had a dream that I was trapped in a candle-lit room, and there was a doll that looked eerily similar to me standing on a platform. Suddenly, this giant needle impaled the side of the doll, and I could feel the pain of it going through me. More pins impaled the doll, and my body started hurting a lot. Finally, the doll fell off of the platform and caught fire from the candles, which woke me up.

When I woke up, my sides (where the first needle "impaled" me) were still hurting. I wish my dreams would stop hurting me in real life tongue.

I was with a friend of mine who's been really moody for the past few years, but is passionate about 80's country and cats. He was smoking pot (as far as I know he's not a pot smoker IRL) and telling me how he used to abuse cats when he was high, but now he couldn't do it anymore.

Somehow I walked away from him and ended up in my dad's van (my dad died last June). He drove it down some long winding road and parked in a cul-de-sac. I told him I wanted to get a pizza, so I walked out of the van and found a house that had an impromptu Pizza Hut Express set up in it. I asked if I could get a pizza, and they said they weren't open yet. But I looked next door and saw a normal Pizza Hut that still looked like one from the 90s: red roof, checkerboard tablecloths, etc.

All of my dreams are disjointed, surreal, mind screwy to the point of insanity. Seriously, I never have a normal dream. Once I dreamed I was a pale, flying, naked blondie who woke up in a ruined hospital and fought against a giant floating rotting head full of vermin.

I love my dreams.

My dream last night was awesome, partly because it was a Massive Multiplayer Crossover, and partly because it gave Joka (who's basically my favorite character of all time evil grin) a backstory.

It started with me and some Ratchet & Clank characters at some sort of dock. Suddenly, someone threw a toy plane, and it landed on the dock. Captain Qwark (who apparently Took a Level in Jerkass even more than usual) dropped the toy plane into the lake, thinking it would be funny. Suddenly, the owner of the plane ran up - a little teddy bear kid with a British accent (think something like Stampylonghead). He asked us if we saw where his plane went. Captain Qwark told him it landed him in the lake, but directed him toward the wrong part of the lake so he would never find it. He thanked us, then dove into the lake to start looking.

Years later...

The same characters and I were on a mission to defeat a Mad Scientist named Dr. Nightmare. His shtick was taking innocent people and turning them into monsters. Dr. Nightmare showed us some of the characters he had transformed - Knuckles, Circus Baby... and finally, the teddy bear kid, who had become Joka.

Unlike Dr. Nightmare's other monsters, Joka was fully sentient. He explained that he asked Dr. Nightmare to make him a monster so he could get his revenge on us. He said he didn't care so much that we made him lose his plane, but that we tricked him into spending days looking through a deep, freezing cold lake.

Unfortunately. I woke up after this.
