Weird dreams

I don't know what it says about me that I dreamed about reading a "listicle". it was one about bad album covers, specifically ones that aged poorly due to Values Dissonance - the one that I remember most vividly was the cover of some southern rock album with sort of a Funny Animal cardinal mascot, but with markings like a Confederate flag. To bring it more over the top, said Confederate flag cardinal was rocking out on electric guitar

Earth is the only planet inhabitable by Nicolas Cage.

this one might be a bit complicated to explain, but once i dreamt that i was meeting Lucifer Luscious Violenoue in person and asked her for advice about tarot (last time anyone knew of her for sure, she was a fortune teller in a theatrical group of sorts, so maybe that explains it), and she told me to be careful with the cards, since they wouldn't necessarily tell me what i wanted to hear (well, read)

then i woke from this dream into ANOTHER dream, where i was so determined to remember this message that i used a blue sharpie to write, in a tie dye piece of paper, what she told me. and then after some time i woke up for real remembering both dreams

I dreamed about the "OG" plot of an episode of MLPFIM which involved Fluttershy and a MacGuffin with a life of its own.

I had a dream where Minecraft had an updage that added photorealistic reptiles for some reason. A group of made-up Youtubers made a video on it, and one guy found a realistic lizard walking around, which they named "John." The other guy said it needed a last name, so they then called it "John Society." Everyone loves John Society, everyone's favorite photorealistic Minecraft lizard. It's all fun and happy until John Society then decides to casually walk off a cliff into a ravine, and die in lava.

After John's tragic demise, the video cuts ahead to night, where the one girl in the group is trying to explore a cave, but there's an angry (also photorealistic) snapping turtle in the way. She tries to fight it, but it then kills her instead. The girl tries to go back to get her items back only to be attacked by a very hard to see snake. I remember she grabs the snake and throws it, but I will never know what happens after that, as I then woke up.

In conclusion, R.I.P John Society, you shall be missed.

This morning, I dreamt about being in an IRL Visual Novel of sorts. (also there's something about me having an octopus/octoling(?) as a pet and a school); However, here, you have to go to somewhere in order to restart. It ended with the protag of the VN and his friend gettibg chased by me (and. uh. i have super jumping powers, apparently).

I was at a comic convention, Jim Cummings was at a panel and it was accepting questions. One of the people there asked him "Do you have any tegrity?" They got dragged out of the hall while cussing.

I had a dream where my school had a complete plug-your-brain-into-it simulation of itself, which it used to have classes during Covid. Two of the classrooms in this school were haunted, and still were in the simulation. I managed to lift the curse on one of the classes, but the simulation crashed and I had to do it again when it rebooted.

You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.

One time when I was very young, I was lying down in my parents’ bed half-asleep, and I saw the picture frames on the wall (which held baby pictures of me), as well as a couple other picture things with text, showing short, silent cartoons that kept fading in and out. I think it was the bigger picture of me that showed some cats running around (Sagwa might have been among them), then after that clip faded out, it showed some cats (or something) climbing a tree, which then faded out. At one point, I closed my eyes briefly, and it caused the cartoons to cut off before they would have faded out otherwise, I think (but more cartoons kept showing up).

There was also a time (also when I was very young) where I had a false awakening on a couch in my living room. Suddenly, I heard some birds, then a flock of birds flew out of the hallway and landed on my mom and I, but she remained asleep. One of the birds looked like it was trying to pull a thread from my clothing, or something like that. I think I then woke up for real on the same couch with my mom.

So yesterday I had a dream where I was looking through Tv Tropes, clicked into the Marvel Cinematic Universe page, and saw... a Doctor Strange (2020). After clicking into it, it turned into a Spider-Man (2020) trailer. In it, we got an info dump where it said that Kingpin time-travelled back to 2020 to get some weird rocks that looked like Kryptonite, and thus, the multiverse basically got a tad mixed. There were some shots with the names of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, but when I tried to see it again, it changed to a dude who looked like the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Hobo Peter and the The Spectacular Spider-Man Pete at the same time, and the second Spider-Woman, Julia Carpenter.

And this is where the thing gets weirder, because we get the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien version of Ben 10 into what appears to be... Star City from the DC Animated Universe? I mean I watched part of Justice League vs. The Fatal Five a month or so ago, although the art style is just that kinda similar to the UAF art style.

Ben's got a problem that he won't realize until he looks at himself in a show window after getting screamed at by a girl: He's got a weird mixture of bodies (Hobo Peter, Lil Pete and Julia) as another body attached to himself. He sees that, realizes he's a freak, and gets chased by policemen the second he says the word freak. We get some chasing, Ben hides pretty obviously under a greasy box, and the dream... ends there. Tried to continue the thing, but it didn't work.

Last night, I dreamt of being in a school trip to a beach. We played in a mossy-as-all-hell jungle gym near the beach for whatever reasons.

And then I became a Pokemon. And two other people were there. One of them is apparently Weirdguy 149.

Controlling another person's character.

And then immediately apologising for that.

And then we escaped into a town aaaaaand it fades to me waking up.

I had a dream of how Attack on Titan's final chapter would end.

Essentially, it's a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, after the Survey Corp killing Eren with the Founding Titan powers being gone meaning the end of all Titans. Mikasa lives the rest of her days as a farmer, or...something. Armin, what with having the Colossal Titan powers and Curse of Ymir, dies peacefully. Levi just sort of...disappears, and the rest is a blur...except for the gag previews at the end of the volume being replaced with a Spy vs. Spy parody themed around The Mandalorian. I don't get it either.

I can't say goodbye to yesterday…

Mando vs. Stormtrooper! I would watch that.

My dream last night was crazy. It took place in the Sonic the Hedgehog world.

I was some new character (probably a shoddy self-insert), and I was fighting Eggman's robots together with the other heroes. There was a giant machine there, but I didn't know what it was. Eventually, I realized that the other heroes had all disappeared.

Eggman told me that the machine was a meat grinder, and he had killed everyone by throwing them into it. I didn't believe him, and I demanded to know the truth, but he wouldn't say anything more. I chased him around his lair, but he still wouldn't talk.

Eventually, I tired myself out. Eggman said he was going to throw me in the meat grinder tomorrow, and he let me sleep in his lair. At this point, I was convinced that Eggman was telling the truth.

When I woke up (in-dream), I was laying against what looked like some realistic taxidermied animal. There were a bunch of human kids watching me. Eggman walked up to me... followed by the rest of the Sonic characters. They were alive all along! ...And then I realized there were a bunch of cameras pointed at me.

TL:DR I was in the Sonic world, and the characters faked their brutal deaths just to say "It's just a prank, bro" and embarrass me on live television.

I haven't played the particular game that Tango is from, but still... robo kitty. :D

Maybe, although this is probably the darkest episode of Candid Camera ever. 😅

The dream I had last night could basically be summed up as: "Rejected Animal Crossing: New Horizons Ideas", as it was basically just one bad, not-so-bad, or just flat-out weird AC mechanic after another:

• First off there was apparently an event where your island would be covered in angry wasps that were terrorizing you and your villagers and you would get more rewards the more wasps you caught.
• Apparently you could abuse a glitch that made you walk on the water around your island (I discovered it by accident when I tried to have my character jump into the water to get away from some wasps, only for them to hit the water's surface like a sack of potatoes). Apparently this was the only way you could encounter dolphins in the game.
• Speaking of which, the dolphins would follow you around in the water, you could pet them like big water puppies, and you could even make them your pets. They also already had names if you caught them with your fishing pole. The one I caught was apparently named "(Matt) DiBenedetto" (with the parentheses; and yes, like the RL NASCAR driver if any of you care about NASCAR).
• You could apparently prank your villagers by using the wand items to either change their clothes or even turn them into another villager on the island completely (whereupon they'd chastise you for doing so, make a bemused remark, or laugh it off before asking you to change their clothes (or themselves) back).
• There was a mechanic where one of your villagers could admit that they missed a villager who recently moved away and ask you if you wanted to go visit them, and then you'd fly out to an island where said villager lived and get to hang out with them. (I won't lie, if I could choose just one of these unusual mechanics to become a real AC mechanic I'd choose this one just because I sometimes find myself missing certain villagers who have moved away from my island. 😅)

There were other strange things going on, too, like my island having a bunch of strange villagers (one of them was a Cranky gorilla villager who was dead-ringer for Skips from Regular Show), most of my items having gibberish names (I recall a drying rack that was in my inventory having the name "A SHORTY" or something like that), and my island had a huge towering mountain in the middle of it.

"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"

I once had a dream where I found a library and started to read some of the books, until some people showed up and tried to get me to come out. Then some little kids came running in, and the people started chasing me(?) and I ran through this parkade.

Thousand Dreamers, Watashi wa Saikyo, and Believe slap so hard.

Sometimes a dream will be lost, with all its content gone astray, excluding a freaking sequence where we get Zhuge Liang's (courtesy name Kongming) wife Huang Yueying (whom I really suspected of being a time traveller/isekai-d girl) going to be married to Kong Ming (Water Margin dude, nickname Hairy Head Star) except that the dude freaking fled from his own wedding because he heard his wife was ugly and thus Father Kong's gotta mend this somehow by marrying his other son (Kong Liang, nickname Lonely Fire Star) to her.

A somewhat recurring element of my recent dreams is my grandparents’ house having a stairway in the basement that leads to a higher part of the basement. This area includes a CRT TV and some toys, and would be an area that my cousins would have played in if it existed.

This place was in the most recent dream I had. Earlier on, it was a lucid dream, with me willingly finishing my lasagna (I think) in the dream. I think the dream lost its lucidity by the time I was going up the wooden stairs to the aforementioned area.

In the last part of this dream, I was walking around the nearby school with some people. (By the way, for future reference, it was the old school building that will be demolished someday, not the new one that’s currently under construction in real life.) The dream ended after I slipped on ice and fell on my butt. (I didn’t fall in real life.)

Are we human, or are we dancer?

A recent one for me. This was in 2 parts. I don't remember the 1st half, but I do remember part 2, other than it had a different tone.

So, there was a killer in my hometown. Not a real scary one, think Sideshow Bob. In fact, it was kinda like "Cape Feare".^note  the Simpsons episode, not both versions of the movie. So my family had to leave town. Every time we moved, he found us. The Final Battle took place at a Walmart. Yes, a Walmart. So a bunch of shoppers (us included) met face to face with him. Then we decided to look at the clothes. We then here over the loudspeaker that he was killed. Cue a celebration. Then I discovered that a local news anchor from my area had been killed by him, slumped on a cart. I was sobbing like crazy, because i really liked her. Then I woke up.

Most of my dreams end with either a Gainax Ending or a Cliffhanger that is never resolved. So this was a pleasant surprise that my brain threw this in there, even if it was a Bittersweet Ending.

Still, no more "Cape Feare" for me before bed.

It seems as though my brain recently likes to actually complete my dreams & give them a actual ending. Last night was no exception.

The beginning is very muddled for me, but the middle part is clear. I went to a Barns & Noble/Hastings-type store with my grandmother & her family. I bought A Blu-Ray copy of The Simpsons Movie for $1, & my cousin bought a book.

We walk out of the store, & I see some pogo sticks. Without any time to think about it, I was on one of the sticks. We bounced all around town, but I did a thing which I would never do in real life. I slapped the aforementioned book out of my cousin's hands, due to the fact it was pro-Trump. She got it back, though.

Towards the end, we ended up at the playground at my elementary school, & that was the last stop. My mom came to pick me up, & then I woke up.

At least my dream didn't involve a plot from a Simpsons episode...this time.

"Remember, licking doorknobs is illegal on other planets!"-Spongebob

Yesterday, I dreamed that my paternal grandma somehow got to have some sort of party in the trailer home that she used to live in, and everything was the way it supposedly was before she moved out. Her late second husband seemed to be there, but mostly sleeping!

At one point, I was doing some kind of demonstration involving her hallway changing, which was a reference to a childhood dream where there was a (different) dark hallway that only appeared at night, which featured Sunday School rooms and some kind of furnace room. However, my dream skipped over the “demonstration” and just showed my mom (I think) and I saying “Ta-da!” with part of the hallway still being different.

Are we human, or are we dancer?

I had a dream that I went on a walk with N from Pokémon Black and White. It started as a relatively normal walk down a dirt road through farming country. We walked past a lot of fields of crops, and a lot of sheep paddocks. One sheep was walking towards us and didn't seem to be behind a fence until suddenly it was.

And then we reached an area where people were producing various substances, such as all the oil or water in the world. In many of these cases this involved an actual person standing on a concrete slab and... producing whatever it was... as the substance spilled over the concrete and was collected off the ground. Apparently water was snot from the world's runniest nose and all oil (or at least all cooking oil?) comes from one guy's extremely oily skin.

We walked further, wanting to get away from (and forget) the snot water, and eventually there started being a seemingly infinite row of shops along one side of that area. We started walking through them instead of along the road. The stores were magical, though the goods there were usually normal. We didn't buy anything because we had no money on us, but we did begin to randomly shoplift for some reason, and no shopkeepers or law enforcement cared enough to go after us or our new stuff. We eventually reached one store where some celebrity was autographing things, and apparently it was their birthday but it had been kind of an awful one. I dug through my pockets and gave the celebrity a stolen anime DVD as a present. Then it turned out that the store was on fire! The three of us escaped the burning store (away from the weird area we'd been avoiding). After confirming that everyone was okay, I broke away from the group and saw a hooded figure with a large burn scar on his face and realized it was Zuko. I went up to him and he asked if I had any ballpoint pens. Apparently he'd been looking for pens and having an inexplicably hard time finding any. Also he wanted to eat them. I was really weirded out but dug through my pockets for pens anyway and spent the rest of the dream staring at Zuko in confusion as he tried to eat a pen.

TL;DR went on increasingly weird walk, found out water comes from some guy's nose, stole some stuff, rescued a celebrity from a burning building and watched Prince Zuko eat a pen
