I was with my bro and dad (though I didn't actually see them for most of the dream), looking around this house/cabin place, and the first thing I saw when entering were shelves stocked with a variety of different board games. While browsing the shelves I found various Munchkin games, including a (non-existent) Harry Potter edition.

I kept looking around this place and another section had posters/portraits/ect of various anime characters on the wall, I didn't recognize most of them (might very well have been random designs my brain made up) except for a calendar that had Aoba Suzukaze... along with some other anime girl I didn't recognize, and who was obviously from another series going by the artstyle.

I was playing a mobile game which had STAY and Stranger Thingsnote  vibes to it. Like in the former, a man was trapped in an old building and had to contact the player through a chat app to ask for help. However, there were other people trapped in there, too, and he met with two of them, who became his party members. They explored each and every room, with TVs serving as warp zones since their buttons functioned like elevator ones. In one room, they fought skeletons that tampered with their souls, but in the room before the final battle, I accidentally pressed the Restart Game button on one of the TVs. There was no confirmation dialogue box.

I dreamed that I was back in the house where I was born and grew up in. It was very late at night, and there was a mysterious stranger walking around the back yard. He wasn't doing anything, though. Then another night came, and the entire back yard was filled with people. And a few of them had donkeys for some reason. One of them climbed up to the window and swiped my phone before I could call anybody.

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

My dream took place in New York City, but I only remember the last half of the dream. I went into a kindergarten center, that was mostly shades of red, pink and orange. I don't know why they just let me in. I went over to the toys and saw these bootleg Littlest Pet Shop toys. They were a lot like the real deal but larger and without the bobble part of the heads. I started stealing them and putting them into my bag.

But when I left the building there were suddenly the bar code scanning things that keep you from stealing from a grocery store (I don't know what they're called). They activated, and I just kept walking out. The whole school started being evacuated, there were fire trucks taking all the children. I just kept walking, though while I was doing so my legs started feeling really heavy, and I felt like I was stuck. I woke up sometime later.

I was at a fair. It was dusk, and the huge rides and stages were all lit up against the sky in shades of blue and green. A fantastic aesthetic, really. I ran into Santa Claus, but he had absurdly long legs, which was just how Santa had always been depicted in this reality. He pulled a living baby bird out of his sack and gave it to me. It was little bigger than an adult hummingbird and resembled a duckling/cockatiel hybrid. I immediately fell in love with it and creatively named it Peep. I put Peep on my shoulder and kept going about my business.

Now I was in the grocery store where I work. Peep became tangled in my hair and died, turning into chunks of chicken. I was understandably heartbroken. A tall, black-haired man in a dark blue suit appeared, put his hand on my other shoulder, and told me that he could save the bird if I came with him. He led me to a conference room where most other seats at the table were filled. Each one of these other people had lost someone. The man (if he even was a man, for I had a feeling even in the dream that he was some sort of minor god or something else entirely) told us that he had a challenge for us. He had control over time, and would create a Stable Time Loop of the deathday of the person you had lost. If you could prevent that person's death for three repetitions of the day, you would return to your normal timeline along with the person. If you failed the challenge, though, everyone in this room, and everyone you care about, would die.

This "challenge" is a fantastic story idea, but I definitely don't have the skills to do it justice.

All I really remember was that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was adapted into a traditionally-animated feature film... but instead of focusing on Harry Potter and Hogwarts, it was all about a bunch of talking fantasy creatures. It was cute. [lol]tongue

I've already forgotten most of the dream I had last night, but I do remember at one point there being a fake episode of 3-2-1 Penguins! involving Fidgel having an Evil Twin brother who had kidnapped Michelle and tied her to a bomb that he was preparing to drop onto some ice-covered planet. Like most of my "fake episode" dreams, it stopped and shifted to something else right as the climax was reaching its peak.

I had a string of rather dull dreams lately, things like doing random stuff in my room, hearing this song from a movie play loudly as I try to use the bathroom, nothing crazy. Fortunately, these last two nights were better.

Day 1: Lego, Mirrors, Love and Deers

Two nights ago the dream started with me playing LEGO Star Wars but I’m in this weird mazy room where all the walls look like a mirror and I am completely unsure as to where to go. I think there’s one part where as I follow one path it keeps making 90 degree turns where you walk in a circle, but there’s no dead ends. It went from normal gameplay to a Hall of Mirrors with Alien Geometries.

After that mess, I’m playing Minecraft, which is honestly odd, since I don’t play it that much. I’ve seen videos, but that’s besides the point. It seemed that they added in deer in an update, and supposedly, throwing a stick at the deer would make, uh something happen. What my brain thought was that if you throw a stick at a deer in Minecraft “it would fall in love with you?” and eventually you could marry that deer? Giving a deer a stick = love? I, just don’t even know how these subjects are even connected. In my dream I found out that the deer and stick thing was made up, and I found a video of someone randomly ranting. about that. Deer aren’t in Minecraft.

How does my brain come up with this crap? First I get jumpscared by drawings of birds, then this? Things are making less and less sense.

Day 2: Tanks in the 16th Century

This dream was less crazy, and more normal, but things are just off. I am at my computer playing Civilization V and everything’s fine. I’m doing my business in the south, and I suddenly appear to have a city in the north, which is right next to France/Greece (I forgot who it was) who proceeded to declare war on me. I respond by sending my giant army of 3 units (I totally came prepared) to Paris. I had a singular catapult, some other unit that I can’t remember, and a freaking tank. I send my tank, and POOF! Paris is mine. What makes this weird is that I did this in the 15th century, There’s some Schizo Tech going on here, and it’s made even more crazy when I find that another civilization had A GIANT DEATH ROBOT, which you would usually get around 2034 or something, not during the Rennaissance! Leonardo Da Vinci must have been an alien from the future, I don’t know.

After that, I’m playing Kerbal Space Program and my brain thinks it is a Sunday afternoon. Everyone is trying to take a nap, but I’m trying to quietly stream KSP, which I don’t stream. I usually record a random video, and not stream it. I make this glitchy weird rocket that explodes and bent like spaghetti, and I am amused by it. I forgot the rest, and I woke up.

In conclusion: deers love sticks, I can’t make a functioning rocket, and Leonardo Da Vinci invented the giant death robot.

Last night I had a dream that I was in a dark forest or something. As I was wandering around, I ran into these giant beings that looked a lot like the Hell Valley Sky Trees. I stared at them for a while and woke up feeling incredibly uneasy.

Last night's dream: It started off with me going to some fancy restaurant in an office building with my mom, my grandmother, and one of my siblings. We spent most of the time just talking and playing on our phones before leaving without ever getting our food. After leaving, we were going to go to a train station to take a train to meet my dad in a nearby city. For some unexplained reason I was told to walk all the way there even though there was plenty of room in the vehicle we were using. So I set out on foot and walked through some sort of large business district.

Along the way, I played Pokémon Go and found a Ditto (which showed up normally on the map instead of disguised as another Pokémon), but for some reason it looked absolutely sick and the instant I caught it the game practically screamed at me to give it something to make it feel better. I didn't move fast enough and the Ditto apparently died. The game then told me to wake it up using a revive, so I did. The Ditto was resuscitated and was so happy it...took the form of a strange floating purple alien that looked like a cross between Deoxys and AmpFibian, which the game said was what a Ditto could evolve into.

Immediately after this, I tried to hurry to get to the train station faster and bumped into a homeless guy (who honestly looked pretty well off for a homeless guy) who joined me as I made the last leg of the trip to the train station. We got there and I rejoined my folks. Somehow, the train ticket I had ended up being for a later ride time than everyone else, so I went to sit down to wait for the next train ride with my grandpa (who was suddenly there with everyone like he had always been there). I woke up almost immediately afterward.

[up]Ditto's evolved form sounds pretty cool. I'd like to see that become canon.

My dream last night started out so great, but then it got scary. :(

I was at this huge aquarium with some other guy. The other guy was from Australia, and I knew him from the internet. I don't know for sure, but I'm just going to say it was TropesForever. That's my headcanon. tongue

Anyway, Tropes and I were just going around the aquarium, recording ourselves for a video. It was a lot of fun.

But then, at some point, Tropes and all the other people there were just gone. And then, all the animals (including some monsters that weren't there before) started breaking through the glass tanks, and they were all trying to kill me.

I was running for a very long time. At one point, I actually got out of the building, got into my van, pulled out onto the highway and started driving away, but the next thing I remember, I was back in the building somehow.

And then there was this lady who was apparently the Big Bad. She was furious, and she said I had evaded her long enough, and it was time for me to die. She pushed me over to a tank with a great white shark. She smashed the glass, and the water poured out, and the shark fell out to eat me.note  I just closed my eyes and waited for it to be over. That's when I woke up.


When I woke up, it was about 7:00AM, earlier than I usually wake up. I was really shaken by that dream, so I just laid there. And then, I started imagining I was back in the dream again, but this time I had magical powers to fight back. evil grin

There was a really nice house party. What was supposedly The Last Airbender was playing on a large 4K TV for some reason. The Pillar Men crashed through a wall. That's all I remember.

[REDACTED]

This is where things get intense. At the grocery store where I work, I was assisting an overweight, slightly white-trashy couple named Jim and Pam. note  I took them to the back room and let them sit in the produce cooler? "Jim" was messily eating "pizza casserole with Cheesy M&Ms." Them things became loosely inspired by Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, a movie that greatly disturbed me as a child. When I left and came back, "Jim" had become so fat that he had to sit in a shopping cart and "Pam" came running out of the prep room in terror. A man-eating Blob Monster made of food had formed, although it looked more like the Great Mighty Poo. It was implied that "Jim's" pizza casserole had somehow played a part in its creation. And it was sentient. Sadly, I don't remember how it ended.

Last night I dreamed that I was in a fancy restaurant with a friend (who didn't look like any of my friends IRL). When the waiter came to take our order, my "friend" answered for the both of us before I could say anything. He ordered us both calzones made with "jellyfish meat", which sounds kinda gross. Anyway, the waiter didn't say anything, but came back with our food almost immediately.
I remember the calzone being cold, with the "jellyfish meat" being cold, slimy, and almost like gelatin in terms of texture and taste. 0/10 would not eat that again.

A few nights ago, I dreamed about the Marvel's What If? future animated TV series, but it was in live action. The chaos was spreading through New York City, a lot of villains gained spider powers and were swinging causing destruction in the light of the sunset, strangely there were both DC Comics and Marvel Universe villains, and The Joker was their leader.

Things get even weirder now, Captain America was using a strange black uniform and his face was deformed, The Hulk coudn't control his transformation and became a big hot dog(his face on the sausage still haunts me) and Thor was crying watching novels. The only one who was trying to stop the villains was Spider-man who was using his white spider outfit.

The dream ends with spider-man encountering Miles, and getting to defeat The Joker. But then we get to view Earth from space and see that a giant Watcher is coming closer and closer to Earth.

Had a weird Legends of Tomorrow one last night. I was roommates with Kendra Saunders (aka Hawkgirl) and her arch-enemy, Vandal Savage, was stalking us. At first I thought he was after Kendra, but he was actually after me.

Why, you may ask, was he after me? Simple: I ate the last slice of pizza. And he wanted it back. Not a slice just like it, but that exact slice. Savage then demanded that I travel back in time and stop my past self from eating the pizza so that he could eat it.

I don't know, either.

I remembered a dream from a year ago or more where I was outside, with the sky a bit grey and orange. Suddenly, an earthquake happens, and I saw the apartment near me get cracked by it. Once the earthquake was over, I entered the apartment for some reason, which was damaged everywhere. I went down to the basement, and encountered something strange. There was a cave with slight blue tint and strange machines. As I walked around, I saw some workers in like hazmat suits there.

The previous night I had a dream about shooting myself in the head. It obviously wasn't pleasant.

Worse yet, there was some crazy dream logic behind it, like in that JRPG where people shot themselves in the head with magic guns or what was it.

I have another wave of dreams here over the last few days, but I forgot some of the things that happened, so it might seem a little fragmented. The first dream had me go to this water park type place, but it was very big and seemed to never end, and there was music in the background, but I forgot how it goes. Since that’s all that happened, here’s the rest of them.

Day 1: The Rest Stop of Confusion.

It started out with me turning on The Weather Channel, but it looked more like my local news station. I notice the discrepancies, and the dream falls apart as the loudest siren you can imagine starts to go off very loudly, and I wake up. I get up, grab a cup of water, pet my cat, and fall back asleep, and things get weird again.

Now I’m in a car (no suprise there) and I see a gigantic sign that says Denny’s. The problem was that it actually wasn’t a Denny’s, but rather the rest stop. We go to this weird rest stop, and we have to walk there. I end up crossing a small green bridge, but I was walking up it like a ramp when it had stairs, and sometimes the bridge looked invisible. I get to the building, and it’s like the hallways of a movie theater, but very crowded. There was stuff everywhere, and there was an absurd amount off people. It was a big mess. I then wake up, and do my things.

Day 2: I don’t know how to explain this

I’m in this nice green park, and everything is nice. My brain goes on a tangent about music, a song that doesn’t exist plays, and THINGS ARE NOW ON FIRE. I’m not panicing about how the sudden fire, I’m just walking away, not caring about how everything behind me is being destroyed. That’s already rather abnormal, but things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Now cut to this weird video which appeared to be one of those Edutainment type things. You know, the kind where random kids explain and teach subjects with wooden delivery and egregious cheapness. This appears to be one about food, but it was really poorly done. I remember this scene with these two generic girls talking about how we “put flavor in our foods so we get addicted” and other slightly conspiratory-ish things. It was all very strange. The writing was weirdly flowery, the way the people said these lines was so dull that it was a little unsettling. It wasn’t Totally Radical, but more robotically verbose, if that makes sense.

I was watching this video at school in some sort of health class, and the students weren’t the biggest fans of this thing. They were complaining, but the truely weird part was that they were expressing their dislike in the same weird manner as the people in the video. “I want to beat this movie up right now” was one I distinctly remember. Just when things couldn’t get any more messed up, the teacher walked in, and everyone freaked out for one simple reason...

He was in his underwear.

WHAT THE HECK

oh dear...

The fact that my brain actually came up with that kind of imagery led to my brain aborting all dream-processes and throwing me right awake, leaving me both slightly amused and disturbed.

And now for something funny.

Day 3: Muffins

This dream was pleasantly unremarkable, which was a good thing since the night before was a weird mess. I forgot most of it, but I will always remember how it ends. I was at this restaurant, and I heard this guy ask me what “my favorite party” was. I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I replied with “muffins.”

Ah, muffins, my favorite party. That was a nice change from the usually rather alarming endings my dreams have had lately, and that’s when I woke up. I hear the cat snoring, but I didn’t see him, so I accidentally woke up the cat, since he was on my bed. He promptly proceeded to wake up my brother instead.

THE END

I don't remember all of the details of the first part of last night's dream except that it involved getting a second cash drawer in a different part of the shop at work, and I think for a while it was stocked with Monopoly money. Also my dad had thought that it had been there a long time because he was asking me why I never used it. Anyway most of the dream was me trying to use this new cash drawer with shenanigans happening in the shop. The very end part though, I was using this pair of spatulas to try and catch these oversized gummi worms that were slithering around the shop (the green one kept escaping) because I had to cook them in the new cash drawer.
