This morning, I dreamed that I couldn’t finish watching an episode of King of the Hill because it was making me stressed. In the non-existent episode, Hank was getting triggered and aggressive whenever people said the phrase “deal of a lifetime”. I assumed that the reason for this would be revealed later in the episode, but I never found it out. At one point after one such incident, Hank was walking around an indoor parking area dropping a Cluster F-Bomb. I don’t remember anything else about what he said except that cigars were mentioned at one point.

Later on, my dream decided to change the episode into a Johnny Test episode, because I was reading that at one point, Susan or Mary said, “That’s a big vacuum cleaner bag,” (possibly preceded by a “wow”) after a substance caused a Ziplock bag to expand.

Because of my stress from the episode, I asked my mom if it was “deliberately made to piss me off” since the creators knew there was a “socially awkward autist” (or something like that) out there, although I think even my dream self knew that it wasn’t deliberate. My mom then hugged me while affectionately calling me a misquoted version of the second quoted phrase of mine. I was offended, because that implied that she didn’t understand what I was saying. I must have acted aggressively, which caused the dream to end with her walking away. I then woke up with a Waking Non Sequitur.VERY STRONG LANGUAGE ALERT 

The preceding dream relied on one of my insecurities: My autistic sensitivity limiting me, especially when I was a kid. Later in the real-life day, I remembered one such case from my childhood: my dad getting annoyed at having to go to a stairway with me away from the fireworks at an indoor rodeo.

Dream dump from past few months again because I keep forgetting to post here:

  • I was fighting Shin Amon (iirc at least partially as just... myself? But still feeling like a game) I just moved around, using special attacks, and a lot of weapons were involved. His defeat animation also had him dropping a phone that he had probably stolen earlier like the phone thief he is
  • I was staying at a hotel somewhere, and then suddenly, a cat got there and I had to take care of it. Which would be alrighf if it wasn't for the fact there was no cat stuff there - no food, toys, litterbox, ect. so I decided to go out and buy what was needed, trying to be quick. Think the dream ended not too long after that though
  • I was walking through a mall and suddenly heard an announcement over speakers about hidden Christmas gifts around the store (it was December in-dream) and if we found one we could hand it in somewhere for a prize so I started looking for gifts because hey, why not. I found a small wrapped gift behind some chairs/seats somewhere, and I spent most of the rest of the dream actually looking for the place I could exchange this gift for an actual gift. I eventually found it and my prize was a small piece of some kind of cake

And here's the obligatory long dream with several parts: I was in some kind of puzzle room at an amusement park, there were a few rooms, but the main one had a pic framed picture of an egg character, who would change depending on what you did in the room. I found a room full of treasure - golden objects and gems and stuff like that - then I started throwing them towards the entrance and the egg suddenly looked happy, surrounded by treasure, but I also got a message I should try finding all 4 things before time ran out. I didn't find anything else and the egg looked angry, and when passing by the pic later in the end it later it was just a pic of a fried egg.

Then, I was playing this Earthbound-like game, but... partially irl? At one part late in the game (at which point it had pretty much just turned real) I and the others were inside a cinema auditorium, and in the back there were tables with gifts and downloadable items and enemies that could be browsed on GBC and GBA consoles (I remember a realistic-ish crow and a more cartoony raccoon) and also various cool and fun glasses as gifts, I tried grabbing some purple ones. After this, there was some hard boss fight I don't remember much about

After THAT, I was suddenly walking back from a con somewhere, and on the way I saw tables with boxes of various manga for sale, including several volumes of New Game!. I wanted to buy, but didn't know who or where to pay for it since no one was there (apparently this was connected to a shop that was a while away and too far to walk?) so I just left

Last night I dreamt that I poured some ice water on my sister's desk for...some reason. Maybe it's a sign that I'm breaking out of the habit of using her room now that she's back? I dunno.

I had a dream about some shooter/strategy game hybrid. It was post-apocalyptic and there was a gang of guys wearing British school uniforms. Their name was such an Incredibly Lame Pun that I think it was genius: they were called Skullboys.

Now I want to draw one. Basically, Angus Young with skull facepaint, massive boots and a spiked club of some kind.

I dreamed that Kid Cosmic got a movie. For some reason it took place in a World of Funny Animals. And there was an evil magician that turned the animals into other kinds of animals. Then Invader Zim came and took over the world with his machine gun leg. After watching it I went to tell my dad about the movie but his house was frozen so I had to break his door to get in.

Similarly, I once dreamed that DuckTales (2017) got a movie. Me and all my friends got a dvd and made marshmallow cupcakes and watched it and had great time. Then I woke up and was sad.

I generally have completely nonsensical dreams (I can’t ever remember having a coherent one), but I usually forget about them after some time. However, I do remember my dream last night in a significant amount of detail, so here’s my attempt at recapping it all (warning: huge wall of text):

    The dream 
The earliest part of the dream I remember (there may have been an earliest part, but I don’t remember it) involved my family considering moving into a new house. The house had two floors and an attic, with the bedroom already having a single bed in it. The house reminded me of some houses I’ve seen in Mamaroneck, near NYC (my dad used to do many construction jobs around the area). However, I don’t remember where it actually was, aside from the fact that it was probably on the East Coast. When we first went to the house, there was some woman I didn’t recognize with us.

I think some stuff happened at the house (when I try to remember what exactly happened, the color pink and computers come to mind), but I can’t fully recall anything. I vaguely remember a reference to us apparently staying there for only four days and me having some sort of meal.

Sometime later, I was in this big building. The one place that I specifically remember, though, is this one room. It was located in a large hallway and had a glass exterior (like many stores at malls, but it wasn’t a store). The room’s floor was a shallow pool, but there were several small, circular pillars made out of a blonde-colored stone. The walls and ceiling were also made out of the same stone. There were several people in the room, but I don’t really remember what they were like. I recall that one particularly important aspect of the room was a sloped area in its ceiling, which would be important later in the dream.

Sometime after that, I was in a snowy taiga biome in Minecraft at night, alongside some girl. The girl was upset that Markiplier was doing videos looking at some random person’s comic (Mark has never done anything like this in reality, as far as I know), as for the comic’s art was really bad, and she though that the creator of the comic would be harassed as a result. For some reason, the video Mark did was represented as a cubical pool of water, with a panel from the comic at the bottom. The panel in question was indeed badly-drawn, featuring an MS Paint-like drawing of a duck. I have no idea why, but I then grabbed four burning pieces of netherrack from the side of the pool and dropped them in it. The blocks floated to the bottom of the pool (I think they were somehow still on fire) and broke a hole through the comic panel. Turns out, the pool was located directly over the room I talked about earlier, and water poured into the room. Somehow, though, the sloped area in the room’s ceiling prevented the water from flooding the room, and even somehow redirected it back into the pool. I remember looking through a hole that was made in the sloped area in the ceiling and seeing a dark space with thin wooden support poles; however, I did not enter it.

I subsequently entered some area that sorta looked like the interior of the Titanic. I think I was told that they had built a recreation of the Titanic. When I was in that area, I remember looking up Goodfellas somewhere, and thus discovering that the film had a score of 2% on Rotten Tomatoes and was widely ridiculed in the film community (which obviously isn’t the case at all in reality). I think the area then began rotating for some reason, forcing me to exit to some other area.

The next place I remember was some sort of obby game on Roblox. The game was very simple, with flat textures and a cloudy blue sky. There were numerous random users also playing the game, and the creator of the game was there as well. The first part of the game involved jumping over deadly obstacles on a conveyer belt. The second part was a larger structure, with numerous paths and platforms leaning through it. I didn’t know where we were supposed to go, and I ended up falling off an edge down onto a lower platform. However, I eventually managed to follow some other players into a dirt-walled area on the side of the structure. There, I discovered a long passageway leading to a large door, which had a button and some sort of microphone on the wall next to it. I tried reaching the door; however, I heard a voice saying that if somebody or something ate the microphone (or something among those lines; I just remember that the microphone eventually ended up eaten), they would do a face reveal featuring them with a green beanie and long, dyed-red hair. Some sort of floating human head then ate the microphone. Once again, I can’t remember what happened after that, but I do remember ending up someplace else not long after that.

I found myself in some sort of strange, alley-like area after that. It wasn’t like an alleyway in the city, however, but rather that weird space located between houses. It was always the middle of the night, but there were lights on houses that partially illuminated the area. I explicitly remember it containing some fences (both wooden and chain-link), a basketball hoop, and an open garage with a silver truck partially located within it. For some reason, a disturbing version of Arnold from Hey Arnold! (with sharp team and empty, black eyes) sat on the truck’s bed. I remember several other people going through the alley, like the Roblox players from before. I think you needed to move through the area quickly and/or quietly, or else you’d be arrested by the police (probably for trespassing). I don’t remember what happened if you successfully made your way through the area, but I do remember that if you got caught by the cops, you’d be teleported to a similar alley-like location, except it was darker. If you exited the location, you’d end up in a large, flat area of grass, with a road to the left and a large, neoclassical-style building to the right.

I remember that my family was in this area, which had numerous neoclassical-style buildings- it almost looked like a collage campus. I don’t remember where we were actually staying, but I do remember a moment in which us and some of our relatives were on some sort of truck. My older cousin was eating caviar out of these tiny black capsules, which were packed in groups of 12, with many of these little groups all being packed in one large, black box. One detail I remember in particular was that I asked my parents if we could go to Disney World several times; I have no idea if we were actually near the park or not, and we never went. Once again, I don’t remember the details of what happened next, but I eventually ended up somewhere else.

I remember being in some sort of large room. The room’s walls were completely pitch-black, but in each of the four walls, there was a slope in glowing neon colors. I went up one of the these slopes, and by doing something, I managed to defeat a boss (like a video game boss, but I don’t think I was in a video game). I later ended up in a similar area, where there were tons of people, including one of my gym teachers. There was only one slope this time, but it was taller and steeper than the slopes before, and it was on the side of a tall, white brick building. I don’t remember going up the slope much, but some stuff happened at the bottom of it. At one point, I was holding myself up on two railings outside an apartment’s door, only to accidentally ring the doorbell. My gym teacher told me that I could just apologize to the apartment’s resident. The door was soon opened by a short, elderly woman. I told her that I had accidentally rung her doorbell, and she understood and closed the door. I only got a brief glimpse inside the apartment, and all I saw was a small office.

Eventually, I ended up on a platform at the top of the slope. From there, I could see some amusement park rides. There was one roller coaster that resembled Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but there was only a single tank locomotive going over it. Past that, there was some sort of slope, but I have no idea if it was like the slope I was currently on. In the distance, there were some tree-covered hills with a wooden rollercoaster on them. Sometime after that, I went down the slope. I don’t remember what we were trying to do on the slope exactly, but I think it might have been some sort of game. One time, I died (but in a Death Is Cheap way), and my POV focused on some talking cartoon fish as they rolled down the rest of the hill. Another time, some small, gnome-like people were launched onto the slope, in order to hit something with their pointy hats. This eventually all ended, and I was yet again somewhere else.

What I first saw was a demonstration of some sort of new aspect to the slopes, where colored blocks with numbers on them were moved around to form circuits. I then found myself in some sort of neon-lined corridor, with some “enemies” in it. I felt like I had been there before, so I turned on noclip (again, I’m not sure if this was supposed to be like a video game or not) to get back where I was before. I ended up in the black-walled room with the slopes from before. Once again, I had to defeat a boss using one of the slopes. The boss resembled some sort of flying human head, and I don’t think it was the same boss from earlier.

Finally, I ended up back in my room at home, but it wasn’t right. It resembled my home, but it wasn’t exactly the same, and there were various elements that suggested I had gone to the recent past (at most 11 years ago), but I wasn’t sure exactly when. There was some sort of Disney World brochure, as well as some other paper, on my bedroom’s floor. The long, built-in wooden counter in our hallway was replaced with the simple wooden desk we once had, with lots of stuff on it, including piles of papers. The woods outside our back doors looked more lush, and not like what we would normally see in our area. My mom and dad were in the living room, and they didn’t seem to understand me when I asked them questions, which freaked me out even more.

For some reason, I then opened up Geometry Dash, and the menu graphics looked different, with there being particles floating in the backgrounds. The featured levels section was also arranged differently, with there only being a limited number of user levels, with the way the levels were displayed on the menu resembling how the official levels were displayed. From there, I ended up in some sort of large, futuristic space. In there, I tried to find a list of recent book releases so I could determine what year I was in, but I never managed to do that. I was considering either 2010 or 2018 at that point, however.

Back at my house, I found my phone sitting on its wireless charger behind the desk in the hallway. I then went somewhere on Wikipedia, and found a page for some mental disorder that would explain my current state. I found a citation linking to a video (which I felt like I was in when watching it) showing a woman in Africa with the condition. Her body was limp, so she had to be assisted by another person. Whenevet she bumped into something, there would be a pulsing effect on the object- either red, yellow, or green. It also seemed like reality was flickering in and out for her, which seemed like what was happening to me in my dream. From there, I discovered a video showing a woman having to give birth to twins in a certain way, with here standing in the hospital hallway while trying to give birth, her body twisted in an unnatural way. Not long after that, I woke up from my dream.

I dreamed that I was dueling JACK ATLAS and he brought out "Red Supernova Dragon" on the first turn. Then it was my turn, and I went and Ritual Summoned two fan monsters ("Chemical Apocalyse Ritual Dragon" and "Chemical Apocalypse Ritual Sorceress") before banishing them to Special Summon "Chemical Apocalyse Ritual Dragon Sorceress" (a Fusion/Pendulum monster).

I woke up after that, though, so the victor is unknown... but considering all my monsters' ATK and DEF points were replaced with flowers, I would probably have lost, haha.

So the dream I had last night, while I don't remember much of it, was weird in that was exploring an island that I thought was uninhabited... and then I found an abandoned pizza joint that looked like it had been founded in the '70s-'80s. Just like that: Smack-dab in the middle of a forest on an island. There was also a parking lot full of abandoned cars, except they looked to be in pretty good shape for being abandoned.

There was this shed I entered, and suddenly I was almost buried in 2 meters of snow, and I had to crawl back out lest I suffocate. So it was just winter suddenly.

Also Pearl was there for some reason.

A few days ago, I had a dream where my father and I were returning from a supermarket, time had flied so fast for us that it was 5 am when he was driving back to our city. The radio was transmitting a song that was supposedly from Italian singer Zucchero. I asked my father to stop the car behind some bushes so we could rest for a while.

The oddity of this dream is that it has been 24 years since last time I had heard Zucchero's name at all. I literally had forgotten about him, and yet my brain had the name stored somewhere in my subconscious. I felt so nostalgic after I woke up that I started listening to songs from Zucchero on Youtube. One of the best was one he sang alongside Pavarotti, and it's the one I posted in the Listening thread.

I rewatched the first season of Pokémon and there was a talking piano. He wasn't a Pokémon, he just had tried to turn himself into one because he's a furry, and then ate a grape, and an allergic reaction to the grape had caused him to turn into a piano. Even in the dream I remember thinking: Wow, early Pokémon sure was weird.

I’ve never played games from either series but I was watching this live action Castlevania Devil May Cry crossover. Dante and Virgil were in this car chase from Dracula‘a goons. Their cars tumbled upside-down and they used these portable metal stumps to keep them in place. Dracula spared the two of them if they drank this poison. The poison turned them into their Dm C designs using a similar effect as those recent Old Spice commercials.

Then I woke up.

I dreamed that I was playing Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth II: Rise of the Witch King, but with a Valkyrie race instead... that was fighting against an Erinys race, and the game's official races had to team up to even stand a chance to stop both races. Ultimately, they succeeded, and I was about to throw my keyboard out the window when the defeat screen transitioned to... a game of Peggle, featuring Lord of the Rings and Warcraft III characters in the background. With a message saying "Secret found!" in fancy letters.

My dream last night was basically some sort of sci-fi dystopian story with a plot about a separated family and society split between those on Earth and those in space. The dream also kept flip-flopping between this being a story I was writing, or a book I was reading, or a video-game, or something.
