Dreams

[Kit H. Ruppell]

I was turned into a Protogen by some shady corporation while other people were transforming into (real) elephants, lions, and stuff. I knew in the back of my mind for some reason that my fun times as a cute fluffy toaster were not to last, as they were going to come back to repo the implants ,killing what was left of my original body in the process. I spent the second half of the dream trying to evade black-clad security goons wielding strange weapons.
It all started to go downhill when I had my left index finger replaced with a weaponized version that couldn't decide if it wanted to fire a Frieza-like beam, squirt blood, or deliver a shock like Force Lightning

Okay I had a dream about persona 4 this time
Another dream about persona
Maybe my friend was right I do need a break

A few nights ago I had a dream where I was in my room and my friend went down some stairs. When my friend came back up the stairs, they were randomly turned into a balloon. (Yes a balloon)... My dream self wasn't even phased by it nor was my friend.

I then picked up a soft ball that had tweety bird face as the design and chucked it to my balloon friend. They made the attempt to catch the ball but it popped the balloon and the scene faded to black and I woke up muttering these words: "The hell".

Yeah, if seeing so vivadly your friend turned into a balloon isn't a weird scenario, then Idk what is lol

Last night I had a dream where I and a couple other people busted our way (RS6: Siege style) into into a building that seemed to be in Chinatown. There were gunmen holding up the occupants who we took down from behind on our way in.
Checking on the hostages revealed that they were trading in exotic animals/parts (there were sacks with snakes and lizards in them) for which we promptly detained them.
Then an MIB-looking guy comes through a doorway around the corner and says there's a "Miller/Müller Distortion" (whatever the fuck that is) in another room that we need to investigate. Following him, we're greeted by a weird light emanating from down the hallway. We enter the room, which has several inches of warm water on the floor for whatever reason. We are not alone. There are weird creatures resembling deformed polar bears ranging in size from rat to dog, all with blood caked around their mouths. As there were no other animals in the room, it seems they had been eating each other. One of the smallest ones is swimming around on the floor. Someone refers to them as "Panama Babies" (probably just my brain having some fun with rhyming slang). In the center of the room is a table or kitchen island with a box on it. A woman with our group opens it, and finds a dizi (Chinese transverse flute) inside. I pick up the small bear-mutant-thing for closer examination and possible capture, and it lets out a humanlike scream which jolts me awake.


Melatonin sure is interesting

My brother took that to sleep better and promptly stopped. He had some wild dreams, mushroom samba style.

This one seems to have been inspired mostly by my Twitter feed.

I'll share one that I recognized during the later stages of therapy last year.

I'm in a shopping mall. I know exactly which mall it is, it's actually one within driving distance of me in the real world. In particular, I'm at or near the food court, and the area near the windows of the food court has this large carousel.

All of a sudden, a passenger plane crashes into the mall. It's at an angle where the front half of the plane is embedded, mostly intact, right where the carousel used to be. It's on fire as well. And... the others at the food court barely react. Heck, most of them are filming it or snapping pictures to share with their friends. It gets to the point where I have to shout at them to call emergency services - and I also wind up telling at least a couple of them to contact news stations. I don't remember why.

Whatever it is, I can't wait that long. Fire extinguishers are easy to find. But near that plane, I'm going to need gloves. Unfortunately, the few people with suitable gloves nearby aren't even paying any attention. I basically have to BRIBE them with cash to get the gloves.

I get up to the plane, can get one of the windows open. Can't get the door open from the outside. At least a few passengers inside are conscious and one of them's able to hand me a crowbar through the window. I get to work prying open the door, manage to dislodge it... from there I don't fully remember how the dream goes. I THINK I might have been treating some of them for injuries (I DO NOT have paramedic skills in reality) but what I can say for sure is... at no point, ever, does help arrive. At no point does anyone else ever step up. ALL of the onus is on me.

It's worth noting that I'm unhurt by the heat of the plane. This is nowhere near as positive as it sounds.



Unfortunately, when I DO dream (which seems to be relatively rare, that or I'm so fatigued I couldn't recognize it), it's pretty much always gun fights or ambushes or terror attacks. Anything where people suffer AROUND me whereas I'm untouched, and it is ALWAYS stressful and NEVER feels positive. I don't remember the last time I had a positive dream that wasn't merely one of my deliberate before-bed "mental exercises" (I generally don't dream after one of those and they aren't exactly that positive or a healthy thing either).

I had a dream where I rode to work on a giant bumblebee. Whenever I needed to pay for something I would reach into my pocket, and there was a cat. I folded the cat open to pull out cash and would then fold it closed before putting in my pocket again. It meowed every time I opened it.

I had a dream that you could get a surgery to remove a nonvital organ called gas bags
They were the organ that caused people to Fart but it is apparently not needed at all kind of like tonsils
So everyone was just getting it removed
And also air bags on cars were called gas bags too
And everyone was making jokes about it

I had one of those teeth falling out dreams that everyone always has

 

[Erix]

I once had a dream where I was falling from the sky. I don't know why, or how I ended up in the situation, but I was falling down fast. I could see the ground approaching faster and faster, and just as I was about to make impact with the ground and die, I woke up. It was scary, but I think I was too tired to fully process what I just went thru in my dream so I just went back to sleep xd

I don't usually remember dreams, but some like that one stuck out

Falling dreams are very common. I hate it. XD

But I hate the ones where my teeth get loose and fall out, even more.

Woah what??? That sounds creepy as hell man. you actually have nightmares like that?

Yessss! It's definitely gross and I didn't need to have those dreams before starting my day. XD
I have all kinds of vivid and graphic dreams, but I record them and use them as inspiration for my stories!

I don't really dream about falling much, although I remember once dreaming that I was sitting on a chair kilometers above the ground (there were cumulus clouds around and below me). I had something in my pocket that could have saved me but I didn't dare to let go of the armrests so I just sat there until I woke up.

When I have those teeth dreams my teeth just become very loose and I'm afraid of them falling off but they never do.

I've been having video game nightmares recently. Y'know, first person shooters and resident evil type nightmares I just wonder when it'll stop.

After you escape the police station and clear level 3?

Just had a very strange dream.

I was working in some lab or something, and I went into a large service elevator. The thing suddenly broke and I plummeted down and died on impact, only I was still in control of my body. A very slow and sloppy control, like I could move around but I couldn't hold steady at all and couldn't speak or do any fine motor control.

So the guys at the lab just stuck me into a space suit and I just kept trying to work, even though I was "dead." It sort of felt like a movie after a bit. I found a little chip that would prevent the elevator from breaking again but since I couldn't speak or fix it myself, I just held it in my hand and swayed my arm around towards someone who was getting on the elevator. It was this dramatic irony of holding the solution in front of someone's face and not being able to do anything to save them.

So they stuck him in a space suit too.

Then various hijinks and nonsensical dream stuff went on for a while, was somehow at a movie theater at one point. But just before I woke up, a guy went onto the elevator with a cardboard box full to the brim with grenades, and at that point I started to get a bit more lucid and was just like "okay this is just getting ridiculous." It was like some slapstick comedy of errors with each person going into the elevator being increasingly sillier.

Had a dream where we were in space-- inside a spaceship --with no suits on, and then someone opened the window, and I expected to be sucked through the window by the pressure... but nothing happened.

I am terrified of something in the future, and space is terrifying too. Maybe the dream was telling me that whatever is terrifying me won't actually be that bad. Idk man, sometimes I can interpret my own dreams.

Had a Dream last night that Criminal Minds was a prequel to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

 

[alphienya]

Modern au Zelda dream I guess. Essentially Zelda got sick of being a princess and bought a plane ticket to get far away from Hyrule. Link heard about it and caught up with her so he could say least say goodbye before she left. Turned out that she bought two tickets actually and was hoping he'd yeah along. They got on the plane and tried to start a life together I think.

Though there was also this weird B plot about how the Hyrule military had this set of rules that were considered important to tradition and whatnot. Turns out most of the troops didn't really hold it to that high of a regard anymore so it was gonna be like I dunno. Maybe some away with? Changed somehow? I can't remember. What I do remember is that some civilians didn't like the idea of it and thought that any member of the military that didn't firmly believe in it wasn't for to be a soldier, Link included.

It also kinda started out with a fight against some elemental gorgon or something? Either way there were the of them at the start and a fourth was revealed to exist later on down the line. Link stopped fighting them once he realized he was doing more harm than good in the fights. Mainly because they were the physical representations of their land like literally. Whatever area and life that lived there made up their bodies, Hylians and animals included.

Had a dream last night about being in a packed movie theater with some friends and family.

It started out of us in a mall then my family gave me 40 dollars to spend and to be home by nightfall. I took the money, and went to the theater.
I don't remember what was playing but I do remember looking up at the screen and reading this text as the disclaimer: "Warning, be prepared to leave the theater".

Then my friend took out their phone and said out loud... : "This movie got a 26 percent on rotten tomatoes!""

Everyone scrambled to the exit and I looked up the movie screen and I decided to stick around while everyone else piled out.
What showed up on the screen was a black and white movie with a pac-man like creature in a bikini shaving the lower regions.
When the creature was done shaving, they leapt out of the screen to jump scare me awake.

This was hilarious yet terrifying lol

 

[TyraWadman]

Had one where I was working at some fast food place but we ended up getting a new product that no one told me about. It was a kind of sandwich that involved hard-boiled eggs and ham called 'Oaef' or something like that. I had someone call to place an order over the phone and I didn't understand what the heck they were saying and, like everywhere I've worked, they severely lacked in communication.

What made it stressful was that I was aware of how much time I was taking to make/find the darn thing and how many customers I was disappointing.

Definitely a reflection of my IRL work situation, in regards to communication.

I love this thread, so interesting sometimes
