Share your dreams

[bjork]

I either have weird surreal dreams or obnoxiously boring dreams. What sucks is I'm always aware I'm dreaming. So when I was dreaming I had jury duty with Spawn I was internally screaming about how boring this dream was and I wanted a different one.

I was on that jury too, and I asked the bailiff, "does that dude seem alright to you?" but he just let it slide.

I never remember what I've dreamt the night before, and when it happens they're usually pretty confused and I can't explain them to others.

I dreamt the Babysitter Bandit from the first season of The Simpsons were coming to my house, and we had to turn off the lights and hide so she’d leave.

 

[Mr. Daddy]

Last night I dreamt I was running around a haunted mansion with one of my cats trying to find the way out. Mice would show up and occasionally guide the way, but he kept chasing and eating them so it was only a temporary help. Whenever we were really in danger, he'd start to glow in the dark.​

Today i dreamed ab my dad dying,

I had a dream with this same situation.

Since i haven't dreamt anything lately, i'll describe one dream i remember today.
I was inside a place that looks like the castle were Salazar appear in RE4, but much bigger. There was a particular place that had two very big and long staircase full of people in line wearing some kind of black hooded monk robe.
I went down the stairs until i reach the lower floor and i keep seeing this people everywhere. I'm not really sure but i think one of them talked to me and told me something weird about believing in something, then i don't remember anymore.

Two days ago I had a dream that the game grumps uploaded a video of them smearing each other in diarrhea and eating it

OH BOY, strap in, it's going to be quite long:

This dream is a continuation of one I had a long time ago. It’s basically about me—I lost my sister and I’ve been trying to bring her back to life. I’m from present-day Earth, but after discovering that I had supernatural powers, a group called the Defenders of Time brought me about 523 years into the future. I spent a long time fighting alongside them, hoping to find something that could save my sister, but nothing worked. Eventually, I decided to quit protecting the universe and return to Earth after one of my companions warned me that a great evil, born of pure anger, was about to awaken and destroy everything.


When I got to Earth, people looked at me with suspicion and contempt. I went undercover, pretending to be someone who had just woken up from hibernation jelly. After waking up, I went to clean myself and there I met a silver-haired girl doing the same. Later, I came across other people, spent time talking to them, and tried to understand how much the Earth had changed.


After all this, my companion—the same one who brought me to the future—contacted me telepathically and told me to go to the Earth Defenders’ headquarters to speak with the manager. So I went. When I got there, I was greeted by this weird, bug-like alien butler who asked me what I wanted. I told him I needed to speak with the manager, and he agreed to take me.


We walked to the right side of the base floor office desk, through an opening without any doors, and entered a kind of elevator that reminded me of the cryojell, except this one was more yellow-orange and had strange buttons. When we arrived at the manager’s office, I said hello, and he greeted me back. What caught my eye was the nameplate on his desk—it had the same last name as mine. I immediately thought that must be why I was supposed to talk to him.


I told him I was a warrior, and that back in the Earth days I was known for my strength—and now I had woken up to fight again. He looked me up and down, then told me about an incoming invasion by plant-like monsters. He said if I was ready, I could form a team and help defend Earth. I agreed, and set off to find teammates.


As I walked through the new, futuristic city, I already had a good idea of who I wanted on my team: the silver-haired girl, the blond guy I saw waking up from cryojell, and a black-haired girl I had met. A few weeks passed, and the team was assembled. They were all nervous, but I reassured them: we’d win.


Just as I finished saying that, the monsters crashed into Earth’s HQ, sprouting out of their giant seeds. I told my team to follow the plan—and they did. I went straight for the leader: a humanoid plant creature covered in bark, with plants growing out of his shoulders, riding a bark-covered horse. He laughed maniacally, saying he’d destroy Earth and bring back the glory of their nation. I laughed in his face and started making jokes. Then, with one quick punch, I killed him. Everyone around me was shocked.


My teammates ran over, asking how I could be that strong. That’s when I saw a strange light glinting from the leader’s corpse. I walked over and picked it up—and suddenly, my sister’s voice spoke to me. She said she didn’t have much time, but that she loved me. She told me if I wanted to save her, I needed to collect more of these glowing rock-like things from other monsters like him who would soon begin invading. I promised her I would. She smiled, then went back to sleep.


Right then, my defender companion contacted me again. He told me to immediately go kill the Wrath of the Universe, who was about to wake up in a rage. He sent me the coordinates, and without a word to my team, I jumped into the sky and flew straight there.


It was a massive underground bunker, dimly lit, with a huge corpse lying at the center. The being looked like Darkseid, but with a red hue and a squarer face. I started removing some of my seals and got serious. I charged in with a giant punch—it connected and woke him up. The fight was brutal, our fists clashing endlessly, his laughter growing louder and louder. I’d had enough. In a surge of rage, I struck a final punch straight into his chest. His body opened, and he took his last breath.


The companion contacted me again. He congratulated me but warned that I had revealed too much of my true strength, and that soon I’d be meeting the Director of Earth. I laughed and said, “What’s there to hide anymore?” and started heading back.


Sure enough, the insect butler appeared again and told me the Director wanted to speak. I followed him. This time, instead of heading right, we went left. Again, we entered that jelly-like elevator. When we arrived, I saw the Director surrounded by a tray of food—onions, oysters, fish, fruits, sunflower seeds. “A glutton,” I thought to myself, but I ignored it and walked up to him. I shook his hand and said, “Hello, Director. What does your esteemed self want from me?”


He appreciated the formality and laughed a little. Then he got serious and asked the real questions: who was I really, and what was I doing here? I was blunt—I told him I came from another dimension, or rather, another galaxy, to help Earth through the upcoming threats. He laughed and asked why he would need my help, bragging that he had 900 million gigabytes of power (the power system in the dream was built upon bytes). I laughed back and told him that’s exactly why he needed me. Then I turned to the insect butler.


“Do you think I’m stupid?” I asked. “Why would the Director of Earth, the one meant to save it, be this careless? I think you’re the real Director.”


The insect smiled with his weird bug mouth and said I was right. He then asked for my power level.


“923 petabytes,” I told him. Then I added quietly to myself, “Maybe a bit more... if I really want to save her.”

---

That’s where the dream ended. Like I said, this felt like a part two of a dream I had a long time ago. What made this one interesting was how detailed it was. I actually had two dreams that night—one was about school, and the other involved my cousin being inside a TV show that somehow turned into real life, and me going to fix it.


I also have a faint feeling this might be another sequel to a dream I had years ago, but I’m not completely sure. One detail that stood out in this alien dream was the manager at headquarters—I think he might be a descendant of mine, someone from my bloodline who now carries the same last name.


And that’s the end of dream two.

Ma cat. That was long and even a little intense. Maybe you should write your dreams down on paper often.

I do, that's kinda how I have it so detailed. I kinda just copied and pasted it here. I have a dream journal where I write my dreams down as soon as I wake up.

 

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

It's Salvador Dali the forum version. I'm always driving or have the feeling like I'm driving in my dreams.

 

[Numubunde]

Probably my wildest dream that I can think of. I was inside of a big cargo ship on a dock, and I was standing on a platform that was kinda shaky. I decided to fix it by stapling it to the ship's metal wall. The captain then approached me and was really grateful I fixed that for him, so he gave me a stack of money. I immediately used that money to buy a car and go visit a friend. When I got to my friend's house, I knocked on the door, and it opened for a baby to come out. I decided I was going to kidnap that baby. So I grabbed the baby, but three men at the end of the street saw me and started running towards me. I started fleeing with the baby in my hands, but I accidentaly dropped him. I picked him up from the ground and he was not moving, so I shaked him up a bit to see if he was still alive, but he wasn't.

I used to have this recurring dream where I bought this massive house. I can't go in almost any of the rooms because there are wasps everywhere.

Well is a dream, my reaction should give you a tip of what to do if you dream it again

 

[Spyrone]

I have a lot of interesting dreams. I'll some of the more recent ones. Also, get some snacks cause this post gonna be long.

- In the first, I was an actor playing Tommy, in a very different version of The Last of Us. The characters and other actors/actresses were the same, but it seemed to have a very different plot. It started in Australia, for one- Joel and my character were on vacation in Australia (gambling and visiting cathouses, I guess) when the Cordyceps apocalypse started, and met up with Ellie who was already around 14 years old. She had been visiting her estranged mother who was Australian, and had been on a road trip with her when the SHTF. The perspective would shift between my characters POV and a third-person cinematic view of what was going in scenes I wasn't present in.

As me & Joel went through some sort of mall/casino hybrid we were attacked by an infected guy who ran out of the mall/casino's strip club covered in blood. I narrowly dodged him and pushed him into a row of barstools and pachinko machines set up in the middle of the mall. He tumbled to the ground and started attempting to get up, failing the first time and knocking over more stools. By the time he got up a bouncer had rushed out of the club with a flip-out baton and clutching a bloody rag to his throat. He hit the zombie with it as more security guard types and cops showed up and began to evacuate most people from the scene. Me and Joel on the other hand were escorted to a security guard area for questioning by the cops. We weren't handcuffed or anything, but sat down in a green room area.

Meanwhile, the perspective shifted to Ellie. She and her mother were driving through some sort of outskirt area and talking about how unfair her custody agreement was when a herd of spiders crossed the road in front of them and they stopped. This clearly disturbed Ellie, while her mother said something like "Oh, their fine. The kangaroos are more dangerous." Well, when they thought the herd had passed she began driving again only to have a giant spider lunge at Ellie's window. She screamed, and more spiders began to attack the car. One that bounced off the hood of the car had a fungal sprout coming out of its mandible, meaning that the Super Cordyceps infection wasn't just after humans. They drove pell-mell through them and perspective shifted once again to Joel and Tommy.

They were in the green room sitting around waiting to be interviewed when a cop came back and said "You lot, up. We're evacuating the building and your going straight to the airport." We complied and as we were going out of the building we a saw a line of people being ushered into a big old yellow tent with biohazard symbols on it. The crowd panicked and broke into a frenzy after a soldier ran out of the tent covered in blood. He was infected, and it seemed whoever got him had taken most of his face off in the process. It was mangled, looked like he got absolutely mauled when whatever bit him took his gas mask off. A few more followed him out, like a dude in a white T-shirt covered in blood that looked suspiciously similar to one of the first zombies in the Dawn of the Dead remake. We all ran.

There's some gaps in what happened next. At some point we met up with Ellie at the airport. Being a US citizen she was being evacuated as well. At some point, we ended up being saved from infected by a pack of dingo mutts. It seemed that dogs were immune somehow. Another part featured a cop kicking one of the dogs, apparently because they were regarded as pests and he was pissed off that the "mangy fuckers" were immune and he wasn't.

At some point, we ended up back in the United States. The first area I remember of that portion was some town in Nevada that had been overtaken by raiders. I ended up getting captured by them and locked in a cage, but eventually broke out and slit a raider guards throat with a razor blade I had on my wallet. Meanwhile Joel managed to torch the motor pool they had set up in a Big Lots parking lot.

At some point crossing the country we ended up holing up in a strip mall that had an intact sporting goods store with guns and a Toys R Us in it, amongst other shops. At some point Ellie and Joel ended up watching Pokémon on a TV in the backroom. There was also a part where a zombie in a bloodstained black logo T-shirt and a baseball cap got shotgunned down.

Lastly, they made it back to Boston which was in the middle of an uprising. The leader of the uprising was apparently formerly FEDRA, and he had a note on him that stated that under the authority of the acting POTUS, the FEDRA military authority was to be dissolved. We got it off his corpse, so he probably failed. After that, the show ended and we all went to the premiere and soaked up the glitz and glam of an award show later. It was apparently a major success.

- I can't actually remember much of this one at all. I got woke up in the middle of it. I was some sort of private detective, and I ended up interviewing ICP for some reason. They got big again and were doing some massive tour with Danny Brown and RTJ. They had a bunch of merch that was glow-in-the-dark or had light-up LEDs in it. I particularly remember a LED-imbued poster with the Great Milenko on it, except it was side potrait various shades of green and orange and looked like he was rotting and showing a lot of teeth in a slasher smile.

- Another one was essentially just a playthrough of a Quake mod level. It was an icy citadel of some sort, and the starting point was in a well connected to a cave system far below the more open parts of the level, but with a different point of the visible through the well opening, with a bucket balanced on the edge of its wall and a damaged pulley system it was presumably connected to at one point. I started fighting my through the caverns and catacombs, grabbing the Shotgun, Super Shotgun and the Nailgun in fairly short order. Many of the enemies were Knights of various sorts, mostly basic Scrags, Knights, Death Knights and Undead Knights, although I did get my ass kicked by a Fury Knight duo that ambushed me at one point.

During the process of fighting through the catacombs I found a few secrets, one of which contained a Shard Shooter (a powerup which tightens your shotguns spread and increases the damage on them) and another that contained the Lightning Gun and a jump pad to a higher part of the level. It seemed to be the center of a minaret that loomed over the level. It contained a necromancer who I tried shooting to no avail, only to find he was an NPC that gives you a challenge, which involved killing certain amounts enemies with certain weapons with a special weapon promised as a reward. His minaret was very interesting looking, it had rugs with different patterns stitched together covering the floor, and a similar dealie with different tapestries, hides and skins stitched together all over the walls. I ended up jumping out a windows to get to the outdoor part of the level.

There I was greeted by a couple new enemy types- the first looked like a mix of the mutants from Quake II and a Shambler, was black and had all sorts of twitching tendrils all over it. It attacked via melee, and was sort of a slower, tougher bullet-sponge version of the Fiends. The other was like the four tentacled eldritch thingies in Arcane Dimensions, except black and having six tentacles. I got killed twice before I decided to go back into the catacombs to see if I could find more weapons to deal with them.

I came back up after finding the laser cannon and a new weapon called the Incinerator- it shot a huge beam of red light that annihilated pretty much everything in it's path, but contained only two shots with no ammo pickups for it. I managed to nearly complete the necromancers challenge, but failed by a few kills and gave up and quit the game.

- This last one seemed to be a weird version of a family gathering that took place in the first place I lived, Bly Mountain. Instead of living in a mobile home on the property of the shitty landlord and his rapey kids, we seem to have owned that part of the property, had an actual house with a basement and a huge fence separating us from the landlords brood. Essentially I was at a massive family gathering where numerous family members and friends seemed to be celebrating... something. If the dream made it clear what that was I don't remember it.

Anyways, most of the dream seemed to revolve around two struggles- one, somebody had parked a camper trailer without our consent on our property, and it had been there for a while. We could tell something was inside it, but we had to break into to it get in. It turned to be a horse trapped in there. This probably meant it was something done by the aforementioned shitty former landlords/neighbors.

The other thing I was struggling with was my laptop had reset itself into some sort of terrible proprietary HP OS that was compatible with almost nothing and looked like it was made in the late 90s. The worst part was that I couldn't get it to go back to Windows without buying a new licensed copy from MS or pirating one, the latter made much harder by the fact that my laptop was stuck in the funky incompatible HP OS. I eventually gave up fucking around with it and resolved to install a Linux distribution on it instead, as the whole ordeal had thoroughly pissed me off.
