Not as lucky as you would think. In my dream she shows up in lingerie and...my pants get wet.

And then she leaves with a feeling of disappointment. :lol

I can't help but feel sorry for you :lol

 

[McLovin]

Fuuuuuuck... ok
It starts out with two older women talking about this building I'm standing next to. They are across the street and I'm standing next to Carlos Munos while he's talking on the phone. Carlos Munos is the main character from this 1990's movie called "Shrimp On The Barbie". The movie is about some Mexican dude that starts a Mexican restaurant in Australia and some other crap about him pretending to be this rich girls finance. Anyway hes on the phone talking to (I think) the female lead in the movie... while hes wearing a mariatchy suit(the one he wears in this birthday party he does) Anyway the pay phone he's talking on is right next to the women's bathroom? and its not hot but for some reason I decide to climb to this A/C unit thats poping out the second story window. Why? Because I can get the cool air that's coming out of it(I guess I was hot?) so yeah.. I'm climbing the thing and when I get to it I wake up :/
1. I haven't seen that movie since I was a teenager.
2. I'm pretty sure A/Cs pump out the hot air in the room.
3. WTF
what the shit I don't remember posting this? wow google search has its benefits :lol

IRL I live in Montreal, Canada.

Last night, I had a dream where I was in Toronto to accept a job. The year was 2005ish because I had just left the job I was in MTL to accept this one even though I was still living a little north of MTL.

I was in the new office building and began to think how I'll manage to come to work each day in Toronto! Then a plane landed at the airport nearby and another one crashed landed into it!

However, it seems that it wasn't half bad so I hung around in Toronto's subway mall (I don't even know if it exists...) to shop for train tickets. I met some friends and we returned in the building.

We heard gunshots and lots of people shouting. Now, there were two shooters in the streets killing people in sight!

I woke up around that part. It was so weird. When I got asleep again, I was STILL in Toronto and chatting with other people about a lottery ticket. Then my alarm woke me up for good this morning.

Weird dream...

 

[Minamu]

My latest dreams were pretty f'ed up :lol First, I was sitting on a stepladder. In a swimming pool full of water. Then all of a sudden, Jim Sterling from Destructoid (or someone very similar), shows up & start having a really weird conversation with me. I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was up to no good & I was right. After a while, he snuck up on me from behind & started tipping the ladder so I almost fell into the water. I somehow end up in the water, still having a conversation, when he grabs & pulls me under the water while trying to stab me with a syringe :lol Lucky for me, he managed to stab himself in the hand during the underwater struggle so I got away & he died I assume :lol

And that was just the first dream :O In the next episode, I run into an old female classmate that I haven't seen in around 10 years. And we end up chasing each other in some form of toy castle up in the mountains before ending up a couple watching TV in a sofa in some random dude's apartment :lol I wonder why that girl showed up of all females to choose from. I only had a small crush on her for half a semester or so :S She was a really dedicated swimmer & will probably end up on the Swedish Olympics team some day

 

[commissar]

I dreamt that I had somehow missed handing in an assignment in my last paper, meaning I had failed to get into this year's course :/

My dream was relatively mundane compared to some of yours, but still a little weird considering it was a recurring dream I had leading up to the results (obviously a little stressed lol) BUT I've already been accepted into the course now, got the notice a week ago, WTF brain don't stress me when I'm asleep!

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Dreamed I did a small watercolor painting of the cast of 24. WTF? I don't even watch that show anymore and I can't paint. :lol

 

[2DMention]

I've been having a lot of dreams about college lately. (I'm 34 and graduated about 10 years ago)

I dreamt I was back in college, hanging out with an industrial music guy and his g/f. I was alone in my dorm, except the person who was in it before me didn't clean it out. There were plants everywhere, the refridgerator was full of vegetables and sanctioned off for the different dorm rooms. There were broken shelf-system stereos everywhere. It's like the dorm was out in the hall and didn't have walls but had a door to get into. :lol There was a prevailing feeling of loneliness, but a feeling of pride that I was living on my own. I was also riding something down the streets and I visited a friend, but he wasn't there and his brother was sitting in the garage watching TV. :lol

It's weird - about 5 years ago I was dreaming about H.S.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Alright, this shit is getting out of hand.

I just had a dream where a friend and I went to Vegas and started gambling. Once again, I had the Geass power and used it to convince people to give me their chips. I guess I didn't want to get too greedy because I only walked out with $260,000 when I could have easily walked out carrying the entire house.

Then we're walking up the street and we see some monks riding skateboards on their hands and they begin talking to us about how that money won't bring us happiness or some shit. My friend then asks "what will?" and one of the monks replies "hover boards" and he floats away on his skateboard turned hover board.

The fuck?

 

[LLaMa-Tech]

So my fiance told me about this dream she had the other night.

Her and a friend were hungry and broke so they stole "Monkey-Balls" from a gas station to eat.

So then she tells me what they consisted of...

Spoiler

Balls of chocolate covered poo.

:lol

 

[SuperÑ]

I dreamt i couldn't stop my car and i had to bounce from wall to wall, dodging cars like in Burnout. It was a bad dream.

 

[Tetra-9]

Last night right before I went to bed I had set the PS3 on sdtv mode since I was at my gf's house. But in my dream I turned on the PS3 back on my hdtv, but it ended up still being in sdtv mode. I was just as annoyed as when I do it irl.

edit: LOL at naughtycalibur discovering what will bring us true happiness.

 

[-viper-]

I had a very embarrassing dream last week. It's so embarrassing that I'm not sure if I want to share it with GAF.

 

[Black-Wind]

OK, I just got up so I'm trying to do this well it's still fresh in my mind.

OK . . . there was a cyborg woman somewhere in this. Not sure if it was at that - Fake edit: yeah! I think it was like some cyborg woman in Pandora with the Na'vi. I think it was Avatar 2 and she was attacking them!

Then things jump over to my house where this white woman in her early 20s was gonna have some press thing. She worked under some pin name and was apparently the girl in "Lovely Bones" (which I want to see but years ago I didn't finish the book so I can't, not until I re-read the book!). But regardless of that she had nude pictures of herself on blankets flung over some chairs in my living room. There was someone else there . . . I think it was Ludo. He was really nice to her even is she was bitchy to both of us (I was oddly interested in her . . . ).

I took a heater out of my room and pushed in near the place she would be talking once people came and things got all misty. I looked on some kind of web device to search her name and HOLY SHIT! There it was . . . it was like I was apart of the internet, flying and swimming past loads of data in a sea of white with sites and info being represented in the form of 2D spites flying all over the place in what I could only call organized randomness. Fixing myself on one showed a cartoon of a JPN game dev claiming that American's were better at making games. I went to a search sprite and thought of the woman's name and this list of info popped up. She was also a singer and had starred in a ton of movies which I didn't know.

And then I went to another sprite were I saw a video for that new Ludo song "How low can you go" or w/e. It was oddly tasteful with like him and 2 guys in white suits talking about women in general (there was even a pregnant white woman in her 40s dancing in slow-mo to the music in the vid). Then everything fads upward and I wake up.

 

[Lion Heart]

OK, I just got up so I'm trying to do this well it's still fresh in my mind.

Me too (weird ass dream though )

Mine starts off in my local mall. I need to buy sweaters in real life, I was planning on going today so I guess my memory carried over to the dream. I was shopping around when I had to go to the washroom. I remember my friend telling me not to use the washroom that leads upstairs because its supposedly for white people only. I decide to go anyway.

I get to the door and its filled with grit and dirt, it looks like a washroom you would see in Wrong Turn. Inside there are these weird/nasty stalls that are open in design and theres two men in there. Yady yady yada and they try to rape me. I get out of there and the calm normal world turns into an almost post apocalyptic world.

Now these guys are following me but the two men turn into a small gang. Think of The Road but with more vegetation. As you know in dreams, when you are running away, you can never run fast and its hard to gain your footing. Hell, I was aware of this in the dream. I eventually make it to this maze and against my better judgement, I try to hide in there.

Well, I think I got away but one of the walls I was hiding behind was cut down so they find me, bring me outside to the now huge clan wanting to kill me. They all have guns pointing at me, when out of no where cops show up, and I'm saved. The world was no longer grim but normal again and I was back at home safe and sound.

I left out a lot but I know there was more. Thats as much as I remember though. FREAKY!

 

[Koomaster]

Had another Nazi dream for the 2nd night in a row now.

Me and Pippi Longstocking were on a beach when Hitler shows up. So we pull out machine guns and start shooting him, but he won't die. Then he gets stuck in quicksand and we are able to shoot his head off.

The only other dream I remember last night had to do with ferrets and tubes, but I can't figure out what that is about. All I have in my head is visions of ferrets traveling in some giant clear tube network.

 

[Panda Bear]

Alrightly, I finished typing up about my dream from a few nights ago. I added some numbered footnotes for supplemental information (they usually relate to where I sourced particular ideas or images from), but aren't required for the plot itself. Story goes downhill after halfway because I woke up for the first time and was jumping in-and-out of sleep from then onwards.



Sunday/Monday, 17-18th January 2010

I was playing Warhawk, or more accurately I was a character in Warhawk. The map was Destroyed Capitol. I was on red team, and was playing near my base [1]. The enemy had just stolen my team's APC, but I was able to get my hands on their APC (which looked more like some kind of scooter; bright blue, two wheels). As I was about to boost to the northeast, I noticed my boost charge attack would not register. I thought to myself 'well that's strange' until I noticed that everyone else was running in straight lines/circles. This is a problem which occurs when you lose connection to the server, and hence other opponents are shown to continue doing whatever their last recorded action was [2].

Normally when you play Warhawk, there are restrictions regarding where you can go on the map. If you go outside of these boundaries, you constantly receive damage until you either die or return within bounds. However, if the server has lost connection, then you temporarily are invincible until the game registers that a disconnect has actually occured (you sometimes get a good 10 seconds or so). It has always been an aim of mine to, if the disconnect happens when I was in a plane, to fly to the outer bounds of the map where you are normally restricted.

In the dream, I still had control of my APC so I decided to see how far I could drive out of bounds before the disconnect registered [3]. The road I was driving on was like a regular highway with the types of vehicles one might expect to see in real life. However, as with my opponents in the Warhawk match, they were non-responsive and driving in straight lines due to the server disconnect, and hence I was constantly watching for cars going to crash into me in my rear view mirror [4]. Eventually the number of cars along the highway diminshed, until our [5] vehicle was the only one on the road. I thought this made sense, as we were so far away from the map that there would be no need to program cars here, and any cars which had originally been on the map had crashed due to the server error.

In the distance though I could see a large structure which I mentally associated as an airport. In the background of the airport was a bright yellow sunset [5.5]. As we approached the airport -- it was beginning to get darker at this stage -- there was a road which veered off to the left [6]. Approximately 20 metres along this other road was a building. The walls look quite weathered -- light-grey paint which was chipped and peeled with wood underneath. I was interested to investigate this building more. In particular, I wanted to know how the programmers had added this object... Was it a fully constructed building? A simple polygon with a complex texture? Moreso, I wanted to know why this building existed, considering no player would otherwise have access to this area.

As I approached the building, I went to what looked to be doors (they were kind of like large wood panels which I could push inwards. The thickness of the doors was about 2-3cm, kind of like plywood). I pushed them inwards and was shocked that they moved...

Above is the reconstructed floorplan of the building. Rooms are numbered in the order in which is 'discovered' them. Grey coloured rooms were suggested to be there (unstated knowledge), but I never saw them or knew of their contents. To my knowledge, the building itself was not formed from real life inspirations. I must stress that this is simply a reconstruction; there was no minimap as with [1] -- this is simply my best effort to place together the rooms I visited relative to each other. Particular details, such as how the hallway connected them, were never elaborated on in the dream. Also note that, while looking quite complex from the inside, the building was a simple rectangular box shape from the outside.

• (Room 1) When I walked into this room it felt very reminiscent of a hotel lobby (cast your mind back towards the later seasons of Angel if you will). It was very desolate. No people, a sense of everything being covered in dust. Still, you could tell that it was once very regal. I didn't spend long in this room, and my recollection is vague. I cannot tell you, for example what furniture (if any) was inside this room
  
  
• (Room 2) This room was an office. (At this stage there were 4 of us). I can't remember how we discovered it, but it was revealed to us that this was basically the equivalent of... the developer's office. Like how you a 'Behind The Scenes' seciton on a DVD, except this was something three-dimensional and, to us, completely real. One of my comrades was flicking through what I gather must have been an index of documents in the room. He wondered how deep the programming was i.e. whether the actual documents had been programmed in as well. Doing something which I'm not quite aware of, he revealed a set of compactus shelves on the left-hand side of the room, full of books [7]. Although I never looked inside, it was unstated knowledge that they contained full text.
  
  
• (Room 3) We became aware of more rooms in the building, and continued down what was like a small hall. The room I indicated as 3 was a small enclave [8] where the hallway gave room to what served as a shower with a baby changing table. There was no shower curtain or anything (although there were raised tiles between the room and the hallway so that water would not spill out) -- this was more like the type of shower one might see at the beach for washing sand off one's feet.
  
  
• (Room 4) Continuing around to the next room was revealed to be like a giant kitchen. I realised at this stage that this entire building was based on the development offices of the programmers. Down the middle of the room was a giant stainless steel island, and stainless steel benches were all around the outside of the room. Unlike the lobby (Room 1), this place was absolutely spotless, like it had been used just yesterday. We moved over to the right hand side of the room, about 1/3 of the way down. Here I noticed some textbooks on child development and psychology [9], authored by Edward [don't remember last name]. I asked one of my comrades if these were books his character had authored, and he said yes.
  
  The specific events at this section are a little blurry (cut me some slack -- it's been two nights of dreams since this occured), but while in this room I had spilt some crumbs on the stainless steel bench. An omniscient presence ordered me to clean them up. This struck me as awe inspiring. I mean... This placed housed all the documents detailing my (the character's) existence. It was a recreation of the headquarters of my creators. In a place that was practically inaccessible to everyone, they placed this building for me to find. Furthermore, how would they know to include the prompt about cleaning up the crumbs. They must've known I would spill crumbs beforehand (the game was printed long before I played it). Was it predestined that I would find my way here and spill the crumbs? They did create me after all.
  
  
• At this stage I started waking up and falling back asleep. When I have an in-depth dream like this one I often resume sleeping to try to continue the dream adventure. This happened multiple times from here on in, and resulted in shifts of content or theme between each segment. It also means that there's often a lack of continuity between different scenes, as I fell asleep and just picked it up from somewhere else.
  
  
• The segue between Rooms 4 and 5 was not clearly defined, although I know the general location of Room 5 in relation to the rest of the building. As we were heading there, we felt this vibe that we should leave, like our time was up. We had seen what we were meant to see, and now it was time for us to leave. My female companion [10] expressed a desire not to have to return. In particular, she wanted to see the sunset. When we were in the world of Warhawk we had free-will, but there were certain environmental restrictions. The length of a game match, for example, meant that the game always ended after 30 minutes and hence we never got to experience a sunset for ourselves. I promised her we would stay to watch the sun go down.
  
  
• (Room 5) The room was a theatre. There was a stage on the right-hand side of the room, with rows of red chairs facing the stage (except they were the types of chairs where the seats fold up if no one is sitting in them). Throughout this scene I was standing towards the bottom side of the room, such that when I was looking at the stage I was looking upwards on the map. On the stage were three people. Two were girls, with metal collars around their neck. Metal chains led up to the hands of this tall creature... More than tall, it was gigantic. It's crooked knees were the height of the girls, but I never saw enough of him to be able to describe him. I don't think the girls in the collars were human either (they were also quite tall themselves), but likewise I never focused on them enough. One of the girls got of the stage and faced us as a group. She started to dance, as if for us but it was really for her master. For reasons which I'm not aware of, I needed to make them go away. I focused on the girl, and she was replaced with this outline of herself, with her insides obsidian in colour, almost like Dark Matter from LittleBigPlanet. And then brilliant flames erupted from within the shape and she was gone. I turned my attention to the master and the remaining girl to do the same to them. In hindsight, I think I had to make them go away so that we could see the sunset, although I can't explain the rationale behind this.
  
  We were leaving to return to the Destroyed Capitol map when a car passed us, headed towards the building. This struck me as odd, given that we hadn't seen any cars in this region before. It's unclear how I knew this, but it became apparent they we attending the wedding of the things I had destroyed in the theatre. I realised that my creators would be mad if they found out what I'd done. I don't remember how, but I reversed my earlier actions. In the hallway of the building I was once again talking to my female companion. She once again iterated her desire to see the sun setting, and I informed her that we already had, but I had to turn back time and that she no longer remembers seeing it. But I assured her that we had seen it and it was beautiful.

In the next jump of story, we were leaving the building once again, but rather than heading back to Destroyed Capitol we headed to the 'airport'. After another waking up/falling asleep, this is where our story continues. I was walking along what was (unstated knowledge) basically a demos section on the disc.

At the start of this section we came across a giant exhibit [11] for a demo. The particular demo was for an agricultural spreadsheeting/accounting program (once again, unstated knowledge). I expressed surprise at this, given that no such programs have been (or would be) released for PS3. I therefore concluded that the demos contained on disc must infact be multi-platform (or, at least, not necessarily available on PS3 platform). The exhibit itself, by the way, was on the left-hand side of a road [12]. There was a giant tractor, green with yellow grill... It's wheels were more than twice my height... I remember running my hand across the tread.

The next part involved being in a warehouse... (New floorplan!)

I use the term 'entrance' tentatively because there was no specific entrance into the building (possibly another awake/asleep jump, or simply an internal transition that occured without me being aware). The roof was enormously high, with metal shelves (indicated in grey) stretching high in the air. No longer about individual game products, these shelves seemed to be like a warehouse of trinkets that had at one stage been given out to visitors for free. My comrades [13] and I split up looking at the various wares. At one shelf I found bottles of pedicure cream, and on the shelf above it were pink bottles of perfume (most were about 1/2 empty, with slight variations in pinkness colour. I managed to find one which was 3/4 full and pocketed it as a souveneir). On another shelf, I found a plastic takeaway container of biscuits [14] and took one for myself. I didn't number the shelves, but the cream and perfume were on the right-hand wall shelf near the top, the biscuit was on the top horizontal shelf, left hand edge when viewed from the top wall. Occassionally my comrades commented on something particularly cool they came across.

We finally made our way into the room at the back. It turned out to be part of the MAG beta, now closed down. First thing to notice was the room was so dimly lit. There was a single light fixture attached to the wall on the bottom left corner as shown on the floorplan. It was hard to see most of the room because it was so dark, but there was an in-built brick fireplace on the left-most wall, various chairs in the middle. The designs of the chairs were pretty fancy... short jarrah legs, red felt... [15]. Covering everything were these massive cobwebs. The beta was no longer running (hence this place being in the dark) and it was abandoned. There were all these documents on the tables though, and I wish I could've been able to read them. I felt that there was so much history and information that would've been contained in this room, basically lost for all eternity because the beta ended.

I also got sick of the biscuit I had half-eaten and tried to find a bin in the room to put the rest in. I think I got on somewhere near the upper right of the room. I then felt really inappropriate because amongst all of the dusty cobwebbed furniture was half of a bright pink biscuit. And being a fake environment I knew it would never break down... It would just linger and never decompose, evidence of my late presence.

(Then sometime here I finally woke up for good because I was thirsty.)


Reflections:

This was actually quite a powerful dream for me. I mean, the consistency of the plot went downhill once I started awakening all of the time, but before that it was really quite solid. The most profound part was (as the character) finding all those documents detailing not only my creation, but the creation of everything I knew about the world. I am not a religious person in the slightest sense, but the feeling of being faced with solid evidence of your creation is quite honestly mind blowing.

Also significant was the feelings I experienced looking through the closed MAG beta. So much information lost to time. Memories lost, thoughts lost... In a way it's kind of like this dream itself. There was so much which I saw in this one dream alone -- things which I wasn't able to translate into words for a GAF post -- which will become lost forever. And there are thousands more detailed dreams from my past which become at best a fleeting glimpse. I seriously do wish there were a way to record dreams, because the immersion and creativity of some is like nothing else you can experience. Your mind can generate elaborate worlds, peicing together memories and fragments from your entire life, generating new images entirely, shaped by your personality, your thoughts, your aspirations, your fears... There is honestly nothing else like it in the world. And yet those entire worlds get overwritten almost instantly by your everyday life... It really is quite a shame.


Footnotes:

[1] My location (and direction facing) are shown here with an orange arrow. The orientation of the minimap is how it was displayed in my dream. Regular Warhawk players may note that the map is rotated 90 degrees to how it appears in game.

[2] When you lose connection like this, it means you cannot enter or exit a vehicle/plane, as registering a vehicle change requires a response from the server. In reality, it would not affect my boost charge ability if I were already inside an APC.

[3] The road lead from the south east part of the map, leaving in an easterly direction. The road itself was based on memories of a main road near my childhood home. The actual Destroyed Capitol map features a city suspended in the sky, and there are no roads on the real map.

[4] Cars drove on the left-hand side of the road, as is standard in Australia. The driver's wheel was on the right-hand side of the car. Although I still considered to be driving the blue APC at this point, the visuals are more reminiscent of my own car.

[5] At this stage I had realised there was a female accompanying me. This was the kind of an unstated knowledge that one just has in dreams though. I had not seen her or been introduced to her, but I knew she was there. Later I would be also accompanied by two male figures in a similar fashion. These people were always considered to me as having originated from the game like I had.

[5.5] Just realised this would make the sun be setting to the east according to the orientation of my map in [1]. Ssh.

[6] At this stage the road was a dark red colour, similar to dirt in outback Western Australia.

[7] The spines of the books were aesthetically based on that of "CRC Handbook of Terpenoids", CRC Press, Boca Raton, 1982. Murkey green spine colour, dark rectangle, gold print.

[8] I'm sure this is the right word for what I mean, but Google's definitions only refer to it in a politcal, societal or cultural context.

[9] Two possible reasons why this content would have appeared in my dream: I've closely been following the Prop 8 court challenge, and some of the expert witnesses have testified about the psychological well-being of children raised by gay and lesbian parents. In addition, this year I will be doing a course in high school education, and speaking to someone else in education they mentioned one of the topics as being child developmental physchology.

[10] At this stage, myself and the female character had somewhat assumed the identities of Neo and Trinity from The Matrix. Nothing specifically from The Matrix was ever introduced, but it was assumed knowledge when I looked at her during the conversation. This may, in part, have been inspired by personal revelations in the past room regarding creation, pre-destined, etc as well as the overall theme of a constructed digital environment

[11] An exhibit like the type one might see at an Australian Agricultural/Royal show

[12] Based on a particular main road of my hometown. This road is in the middle of a semi-industrial area. I grew up in a rural town, so trucks and agricultural equipment in this area would not be unexpected

[13] I should mention that, except for [10], at no point did any of these secondary characters have a strong identity. Other than [10], I never looked at them when talking to them and didn't see their faces. There was very rarely verbal communication between us. Mostly they were just a presence in the background.

[14] I'm thinking of a particular brand, dunno if they are sold worldwide or just in Australia. Flat biscuit, circular, solid pink coating on the front, hundreds and thousands on the pink bit.

[15] God I can't draw for shit, but here's my sketch of what the chairs looked like. Possibly a bit taller and less fatter, maybe slightly deeper). Similar in motif to the photograph here: http://www.moonshadowsbb.com/Tour_Page/chair_by_fireplace.jpg, except the arms are different and the chair is red. Also there might've been fancy dimpling of the material on the back of the chair.

This is the single most epic post I've ever seen on this forum.

 

[Reza_Neko]

I'm at my university's pool. They split up the pool: half for the general population, half for swim team. Parents are letting their kids (really young, like 4 years old) swim in the deep end (without floaties or the parents being nearby). I keep on rescuing the kids. There's a special technique that you do when you rescue someone in the deep end: you put your arms over your head and let all the air out of your body and let yourself sink. I do this technique and at one point I end up shooting myself off of a guy's head but he doesn't seem to mind (especially with the view since i'm a chick).

This dream was no surprise to me since I was contemplating before going to bed last night whether I should go to the gym today and do a cardio and weight training workout or if I should swim.

And then there's this dream:

I'm visiting my parents. In real life my mom told me she bought me the Yoshi shirt I wanted. In the dream, I open a shopping bag which has the Yoshi shirt in it(but it turns out to be the Mario and Yoshi shirt that I already own), a torn grey shirt with Sylvester the cat and the cute kitty from the "Feed The Kitty" Looney Toons cartoon, and some other shirt that I don't remember.

This dream also makes sense since I am planning on visiting my parents this weekend and am looking forward to getting that Yoshi shirt

 

[WillyFive]

I was out on some kind of trip with my family. A storm was coming so we got in the car.

But the car had no roof, it was a convertible. We scrambled to get the roof up, and started the car to go home.

But the window was left open and my grandmother's purse fell down into the parking lot, which was made out of dirt.

I got out to try to gather all the items, and it was about to rain. But I got distracted and went to the plaza.

I met some old friends, but then I remembered and went back, but my family left. It then started raining.

I woke up and it was raining where I live.

 

[Mr. Jonh]

Man, i can't remember the one i had today, but the last one i remember was not so long ago, so i guess it'll count.

The whole dream was in the world of the Saboteur game. If the first part, i was sneaking and snapping some bad dude's neck. The taking his clothes. Then infiltrating some base. If you've played the game, you now the deal.

What i most vividly remember is the second part. I was in a race, and i won. The colors were magnificent. Everything was vivid, with high contrast. Very pretty. After the race, i think i talked to some other racers, some friends, and overall having a good time. Laughing, joking around, drinking something, good times.

Then the best

Spoiler

worst

part of the dream. I had a wife! And a little girl, maybe 6 years old. They had just arrived, i remember calling for my kid, her coming running right to me, hugging my leg. I remember having my hand on her hair, i remember how soft it was, how strongly she hugged my leg. And the smile on my wife's face. Damn. So good.

Then i woke up, wondering what i'm doing with my life.

Spoiler

The dream was exceptionally sad because i'm quite good at not felling anything for other humans, and such has become the paradigm of my life. The feeling of the kid and the wife make me feel like someone i'm not, someone who would maybe be able to succeed where i failed most times.

Fuck, it feels so strange to finally see a post i made on gaf, golf ham :/

I was trying to run around a track, but was having trouble running as fast as I know I can, and started running on all fours, as if I was running up a steep incline and was using my arms to help me momentum.

I used to run track and cross country in high school, so I have a lot of dreams in which I'm running.

 

[LFG]

asteroids slam into my neighborhood and there's a bum hiding under my bed. i told him to stay under there or i'd shoot him :lol weirdest dream i've had in a long time.

 

[Community Forum]

All of my dreams are always work related, and it really pisses me off. Often I will wake up, and it feels like I have been working all night. Sucks ass and I don't know what to do about it.

Last night I had a dream where I woke up, got dressed, and apparently made it my mission to be a dick all day. I just went into shops and broke things, yelled at old people, pulled up flowers, etc. I don't usually dream but I've been having a lot more recently and this one stands out to me because I woke up feeling satisfied lol

Last night I had a dream that my alarm clocks (Yes, I have two) were memory wiping devices. So every-time my alarm clock went off, I felt my memories being yanked out of my head. I stopped one alarm clock and thought that if I slept I could recover some of those lost memories. The second alarm clock went off and more memories were being ripped away from me and I was starting to forget who I was. I stopped the alarm clock again but didn't remember my name. So I went back to sleep and got all my memories back.

I was then 30 minutes late to work. :lol

 

[Corky]

I just had the most fucked up dream of my life :

Let me preface this with saying that I did 2 major things yesterday, one was a 5h electrical circuit exam , the other one was laughing ( more than I should've ) at a picture of a certain character posted here on GAF.

The first "hours" of the dream are really hazy, they revolved around me being some street punk in a Cidade de deus environment.

Fast forward to where the dream became "controllable" ( lucid? ) :

So I'm just minding my own buisness doing whatever when none other than mr fucking Bean shows up and starts harassing me, and mind you this it not your average mr Bean, this was a black bodybuilder fellow with mr Beans face on.

I look at his shoulder and see that its white and I proceed to inquire him regarding said shoulder. " Whats up with your shoulder mang? " and he goes " hahaah yea I know I had too much sun-lotion " to which I only reply with a nod.

After staring at eachother ( remember this is 300 lbs pure muscles mr Bean we're talking about ) I start to tease him what with his wierd white shoulder and all.

Then he goes " hahaha yea it is funny, but at least I know that in order to get ω you have to MULTIPLY the source frequency with 2 Pi, not divide it . " and proceeds to laugh at me.

That moment
That second I shoot out of bed at 6.00 am on a free from school/work day and run to my examquestions which I had brought home with me.

I started doing the alternating RLC-circuit questions again, over and over again. Then it hits me, mr Bean was right I hade done a huge mistake on my test which will most likely take me from a B+ / A to ( if I'm really unlucky ) a D/F.....

this aint not joke, 100% honest, mr fucking Bean, came to me in a dream and told me the EXACT mistake, a mistake I was totally oblivious to, that I had made the day before.


I'm scared

 

[Ovid]

This is what happened in my dreams a couple of days ago:

UFRA, your dream had me in tears.

Anyways, last night I had a dream that I was driving on the LIE (Long Island Espressway) and there was a sign that said "Last Stop". There was some sort of tent in the middle of the highway near the sign. All of the cars started to slowdown and stop when they approached the sign. All of sudden an 18-wheeler drove past the sign in reverse. When everyone saw that happen they decided to continue on, ignoring the sign.

It was really weird.

This is what happened yesterday in real life:

Scary.
Am I the next Nostradamus?

 

[thomaser]

Had one a few days back where I was in a school. It was very large with several levels, each with long, long corridors in a grid. I was up in one of the higher levels, walking the corridors. Very dark, with only faint lights here and there. Something was very wrong - students were standing around outside their classrooms or walking around, shouting and being very angry. They were infected by some kind of madness, which originated from a small, bald, older man who had a "lair" in a classroom by the stairs. He looked kinda like Mr. Magoo. I felt as if he were trying to hurt me, so I ran away from where I thought he was. Then I had a change of mind, got a female sidekick, and ran towards his room. We went inside. I charged at him, while my partner went for HIS female sidekick. I grappled him and pinned him down on a desk, trying to strangle him or break his neck. It was very hard, and he kept struggling no matter how hard I went at it. I realized that he might be a vampire, so I tried to put a crucifix on his forehead, but then I thought that it would probably only make him angrier and stronger, so I just kept on trying to strangle him. The dream ended before I could kill him.

 

[Maklershed]

I had a dream I was in Montreal, carrying around my beagle (who has been dead for over a year now) and I was getting on to an above ground metro. For some reason I was wearing a Flyers jersey and everyone else was wearing Canadiens and Maple Leaf jerseys and they were all trying to keep me off the train and pick a fight with me. I was scared shitless because I thought they were gonna hurt my dog. I didn't want to put her down because I was afraid she'd get trampled but I was afraid if I kept holding her I was gonna drop her soon. And then the dream just ended.

Unrelated: I'm always having dreams of my teeth falling out. Does anyone else have those?

 

[Raiden]

I dreamed that I was climbing these incredibly tall cliffs that overlooked what was pretty much a sea of clouds. It was seriously one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen/imagined. Right below me there was this space-ship thing just floating there. Then I just jumped off trying to aim for the ship to get on it, and I just missed. All I saw were clouds rushing towards me for what seemed like forever. Best of all it felt almost like reality. Sadly I woke up before I could hit the ground. I always hope some day I will not wake up from a falling dream, but to this day I have been unsuccessful.

And the same night I had a short dream where the street all of a sudden became steeper and steeper until I just fell down it. Scary shit.

I think it is a normal reaction to wake up after you fall.

I once jumped from some fire escape stairs at the outside of the building, i remember smacking to the ground only to see my broken legs and arms in a puddle of blood ... thinking to myself arent i supposed to wake up now ...

 

[SovanJedi]

The most recent dream I had involved me in a situation kind of like the game Uncharted, only being terrorized by a Tyrannosaurus armed with an automated pistol and he would shoot out various platforms and rope bridges with it if I got to them.

Also later on being chased in open fields by Utahraptors armed with rifles. In the night. It was terrifying and unspeakably awesome at once. If anyone wants to make a game based on this they are more than welcome to.

 

[SundaySounds]

I feel like I dream every night, but I only remember 1/500 dreams I have. And I can never recall them with any specific details. I'm really jealous of you guys.

Last Night:

I had a dream I was in some mountain area at a lake house. I heard there was a golf course near by so I decided to walk to it with winter clothes on. For some reason I had to sets of clubs on my back. When I arrived I realized there was a golf tournament there and I couldn't play unless I had a partner. I didn't so I decided to leave. On my way back my clubs disappeared and I bumped into a young pretty girl. We were talking on the way back to my place and became close. We started kissing for a little bit. We stopped and all of a sudden a pair of doors appeared in front of me. I opened them. Inside was a conference meeting for something. Then a projector turned on and had Lord of the Rings on it...

Then it got crazy and I don't remember the rest.

It was fucking weird.

Night Before:

My brothers an I were at a fancy restaurant in some town. We all had suits on and we looked like awesome guys from Reservoir Dogs. My brother (who doesn't have his drivers license) began to drive a car with all of us in it. He took us to a park. We walked through a forest to a beach. We decided to go for a swim. When I got in, I saw in the distance 3 massive dinosaurs. They looked like the ones at the beginning of Jurassic Park. It was pretty awesome. Then the tide rose and the beach that was there became a peninsula and the only way back was through the dinosaurs. I walked towards them and don't really remember the results but it was pretty fucking cool.

 

[Swag]

I had a dream that I was playing Mass Effect 2, and it was good. The part that sucked was I was playing all the parts that I had read about in spoilers.

I was at a big flea market, which was divided up into several sections of tents and booths. I ventured to an area which was far less crowded, and the vendors began to grow more unusual and downright disturbing. Eventually I was passing tables lined with human bones and rusted weapons. I ended up in a small town, completely empty. I walk into this old mansion in the middle of the town and am greeted by a Confederate Civil War general. He introduces me to his family and they all seem nice. But soon, they begin to appear more sinister and the general eventually starts to chase me with some kind of scythe or something. I hide and manage to leave the town.

It was interesting. I've actually been keeping a dream log over the last year. I haven't been keeping up with it lately, though. There are some pretty confusing ones in there.

 

[WickedAngel]

I've had a dream that runs like a story for years now. Each night advances the story. Topic? zombie apocalypse.

 

[frankie_wilde]

Well it started with me driving on a deserted road near the sea with wind blowing through my hair and a hot chick giving me the sexy look....i then take a glance at the mirror and spot a velociraptor running behind us...i throw the girl at it so i have time to run away, but then the car stalls and i'm on foot....i remember i have a grenade launcher in the booth. I decide not to use it, but instead i run in circles and scream like a girl, which happened to be the mating call of a hornysaurus, which molests me till i cried a little. The raptor is disturbed by this sight and flees the scene. The hornysaurus is finished with me, lights a cigarette and flies off. At this point i wear my clothes and star walking, when a talking dolphin hands me a map to a treasure, which i use carefully. I am accompanied by Jill Valentine and charlie the unicorn in this quest for the treasure. We had some cereal and headed to the spot marked with an X. I start digging, helped by optimus prime, and we find a chest. I manage to unlock it using a key given to me by John the all mighty Raccoon from Dubai, when i open it a pissed off mongoose attacks my crotch, i try to fight it off, but i manage to get it even more pissed off. The gang panics and flee the scene leaving me all alone with the mongoose which after 1 hour of fighting my crotch, bites off my penis and runs away with it. At this point i wake up with an urge for cereal......

 

[Cosmic Dreams]

At a beach at night with my dream girl.

It was a very romantic night, shame it's not real but the freaky thing is that she whispered to me that we'll meet in real life soon enough.

Weird, but kind of cool if it were to happen.

 

[cooljeanius]

Dreams I remember having had since the last time I posted in this thread:

1/21: I dreamt that the first Harry Potter movie was being remade in the style of the newer ones. It was weird because it didn't really follow the plot of the book.

1/22: "Something about Star Wars then something about traveling on a road/trail in the wilderness - there was a map and I didn't like staying in one part because of the bugs." (this part is in quotes because even though I wrote it down, I don't actually remember having it) Then my AP Euro teacher was trying to explain what my political science professor has been teaching us in class recently (the one in my dream was kind of a meld between the two classes), and then this girl who I hadn't seen since middle school until the end of last semester (college) wanted to mention something from the newspaper she had in a book.

 

[Pyke Presco]

Had one this morning! I was walking around in my old neighbourhood where I grew up as a kid, but it also had some of the buildings from my university that were accessible via catwalks, so I went go between two houses and ended up in my math lecture. The prof was doing a class on probability theory and just did a whole shitload of pie charts spanning across a dozen different blackboards and even onto the ceiling (theres typically only 2 in the real world), and when I would try to read it all in order I always found myself going back to the first board. I asked a couple of questions, and he responded every time with "And thats why its impossible to win Roll Up" (For non-Canadians, we have a coffee/donut place called Tim Hortons which is kind of like a Starbucks, but every year they have a promotion called "Roll up the Rim to Win" where a prize will be written on the underside of the coffee cup's rim. They give away a car and some TVs, a couple cash prizes, and lots of coffees/donuts)

Anyway, I eventually got out of the class and was trying to catch up with this gorgeous redhead but no matter how fast I ran to catch up with her I couldnt do it. Ended up infront of an entire row of Tim Horton's stores, like 6 or 7 of the things. Went in and bought a coffee and then sat down at a table with a bunch of faceless individuals. They were discussing how the store managed to put jelly in the middle of donuts, and some of the stuff was crazy like cooking the top of the donut at a high temperature which made it less dense and allowed the jelly to flow through while the bottom of the donut is kept cool (If I'm not mistaken, this actually is the way that they get caramel into the Caramilk chocolate bars, but I could be wrong.) Anyway, I get up to leave and they asked me if they could have my coffee cup so they could play roll up. I said no, that I was going to do so, and I rolled it up to find I had won $125000!

Then I woke up all excited, and reality came crashing back. I am still poor.

 

[Poyunch]

I had a dream within a dream. I'm not sure if it was the same as that Sleep paralysis nightmare but this is basically what happened:

I was on my PC read to go to bed. I was trying to turn off the monitor but it wouldn't turn off. Then the phone rang only once. I just scoffed it off but it was sort of weird seeing it was around 4:00 AM (in my dream). Then I remembered I was already asleep so I "woke up" from that weird dream. I couldn't move my body and I was freaking about because I remembered about that Old Hag/sleep paralysis thing and the fact that my "dream" was a bit spooky. So I was trying to tune out anything in case and was sealing my eyes shut to try to possible stop from seeing hearing her. Then I woke up for real and I was really scared.

[tirminyl]

In my dream last night, I destroyed the planet and everyone on it.

The dream took place with me running through a downtown city with black helicopters overhead. I found it strange that the entire area was empty with not a single person in site. It was daytime. There were black SUV's also chasing me. Out of nowhere a car exploded. The helicopter was shooting missiles at me. I ran into a parking garage with the SUV in tow. I finally made it to the top and as the black SUV and helicopter were closing in on me, a white car came out of nowhere. They stopped and yelled at me to get in and that is when the helicopter shot another missile. I thought we were dead and closed my eyes. When I opened them again I was inside the white car and we were speeding away fast through the city.

We lost the helicopter and SUV but ended up in some desert area where there was a school bus. Tons of people were getting on the bus so I hopped on. The bus took us to some empty field. As we got closer I saw a lot of other school buses dropping people off and pulling in. I got off the bus and started walking towards the huge crowd and I admired the night sky which was glowing with stars. I then heard screams from behind me, followed by a loud explosion. There were black helicopters flying in and shooting missiles at the buses. Everyone was running to the center of the field. I stood and watched more and more people die. As the helicopters got closer, something took over me.

As people ran past me, I extended my arms and looked towards the sky and was amazed that it was turning gold. It wasn't the sky. I was creating a force field around everyone in the field. More and more helicopters showed up but I still was not protecting everyone. I then started to levitate into the air, stretching the force field to protect more people as missiles rained down on us. I was about 100ft in the air, using all my strength to keep this forcefield going. More helicopters piled up and they started unloading all their power on my shield. I was becoming weak. Missile after missile, my shield got weaker and weaker. Then the last two missiles struck the shield and I came falling to the earth.

People started yelling at me to get back up there and protect them. I tried but I told them I needed to rest. They started cursing at me, saying this was all my fault. They started throwing things at me, hitting me, spitting at me. I screamed "enough" and they all fell. I told them that since they seek to hurt the one protecting them and exclaim that I bring death, then I would indeed bring death. I levitated into the sky and reached towards the Moon. At first I felt nothing but then I felt this unbearable weight. I pulled it towards me with all my might until gravity took over. I stood and watched in amazement as the moon filled our sky. Everyone started to run, scream, and pray. I felt nothing because it was what they wanted. Seconds before the moon crashed into the planet, I clapped my hands together teleporting into space and there I watched the chaos.

I then woke up to my coffee machine making coffee.

 

[Pyke Presco]

Two more, though only one is in any sort of detail:
Went into a hotel with a girl and we go down the stairs and sit down in the lobby to have dinner. We only eat like a single breadroll before they bring us the bill, which is something like $180.We were in town for a conference that was going on, though I dont remember what it was about. As we are sitting in the lobby, she pulls out her phone and calls the front desk (which is about 20 feet away around the corner) and makes reservations for us. We then walk over to the desk and get our keys and a little red and black thing that looked like a USB key. They dont say anything about what it is for, so i just toss it in my pocket.

There is a set of double doors in front of me that would lead me back out to the lobby with all the dinner tables, so I head through them thinking it will be a quick way to get to my room. As soon as I step through the door the fire alarm starts going off and I see hordes of people rushing down the stairs and just absolute panic. The manager is in the lobby yelling "We have to lock this place down. I needsnipers on every exit, nobody goes in or out!" The lady at the fornt desk is crying and flipping out, and I tell her its all going to be ok, that I just walked through the wrong door.

I go to explain to the manager what was going on. He looks at me absolutely disgusted, but finally tells the receptionist to get on the mic and tell people the situation has been resolved and to please calmly return to their rooms. He then says that hes going to escort me to my room so that such a mixup doesnt happen again. He leads me through an identical set of double doors that are directly beside the ones I originally passed through. I mention that this is a terrible design, and he tells me that I was the first one to go through the first set of doors and set off the alarm, so it wasnt bad design, it was simply me having a problem with following the rules.

This set of doors leads to a hallway with onesided glass looking out into the dining area (the other side looked like a reglar wall though, not a mirror) and it leads in a big square all the way around the dining room right to the front door, where there is a hidden door which we pass through to end up back at the entrance. We head back down the stairs, and as we pass the sofas in the lobby, I decide that it would be a good idea to sit down, so I throw myself into one of the couches and shift the thing back about four feet. There is an old man sitting on it and he just glares at me, so I get up and teleport over to the hallway where the manager is still walking towards my room. We get to the door and he opens it up and theres two beds (damn....) and the girl I came in with is already in there sleeping. I tip the manager and tell him sorry for the inconvenience, then sit down at the chair and table in the room. The girl gets up and sits down across from me and then tells me I have to cover the cost of both the dinner and the room, which was $275. I told her this didnt really seem fair, because I hadnt booked the room nor had I chosen to have dinner and therefore she should cover both bills. She nodded, as if this made perfect sense and then left to go pay the desk, at which point I jumped out the window (luckily we were on the first floor) and started to head for the conference.


I also had another one earlier in the night before I woke up when my roommate came home at like 2 in the morning with his loud friends, but I remember next to nothing of it. The only thing I can recall is that I was in a big square shaped room with a raised platform along one wall and a staircase leading up to it in both the left and right hand corners. I was standing in the middle of the platform and there was about 3 dozen angry dogs trying to run up the stairs to get me, but 2 pugs (those ugly wrinkly skinned smushed face tiny dogs) were at the top of the stairs and were taking on every single dog to come up and defeat them. It was like some comic book or scifi movie where theres one guy at the top of a staircase fighting off a horde of guys rushing up the stairs at them, except with dogs, and the defenders were these little tiny midget dogs that nobody likes.

 

[Ferga]

Last night i dreamt a pretty weird dream. I woke up feeling really weird and weak. Well it went something like this:


I was walking down a street on a normal sunny day and entered a crowded building. I then proceeded to walk to the building's lift to reach a higher floor. I pressed the ONLY lift button saying 'up' (no button for down. - (ground floor?)) and the lift doors immediately opened revealing many men and women already inside the lift. The man standing closest to the door looked at me after the doors opened and grinned showing numerous wrinkles on his face. Noone gets out. The doors then closed. The lights in the building turn off suddeny then turns back on. The building is now empty. The lift opens again. I get in. I look at the buttons inside the lift and only see a up and down button. i press the up button, knowing that pressing down will do nothing since i am already on the ground floor. I press the up button. The roof rapidly flies up into the darkness, leaving the lift room roofless. I then proceed to press the down button....

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

I couldn't stop changing my fucking pants. I just kept putting on one pair to be disappointed, then change into a different one. I wanted to leave my house, but I couldn't leave without my pants on.

 

[cbox]

so who else dreams that you're trying to run somewhere but can't? Like you're trying to run through fucking water,

so FRUSTRATING UGH!

 

[MNC]

I was trying to lure a friend to the other side of a pathway by dancing. He started counter-dancing and turned into a pokemon sprite version of himself, dancing.

 

[Maklershed]

so who else dreams that you're trying to run somewhere but can't? Like you're trying to run through fucking water,

Yes, and a lot of times its when I'm trying to flee or to save someone.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

The only dreams I remember are about this one ex-gf. I can go months without thinking about her then boom, I dream that we're getting back together. I feel always feel a little sad until I take a shower, start my day and let the dream fade away.

The last time I spoke with her, she was telling me that she would be much happier if she had chosen to stay with me instead of leaving me for her now husband and father of her two kids.

 

[Hawkian]

Last night I dreamt of blonde twins (boy & girl) who wanted to have a baby but couldn't. For some unknown reason I was shaving the girl's head, and with every move of the razor the boy lost an equal amount of hair.

This scene NEEDS to be in a movie. You don't understand. It has to happen.

 

[kai3345]

My dream last night:

Our family rented a beach house and it had like 50 floors or something. And each floor had something weird. One I remember was it had this hot girl from my school, but there were 6 of her. Just weird shit like that on each floor. Idk if i got to the top or not.
