I had a weird dream last night. Srangely, I can’t remember anything except that it was weird.
First post?
And so another barely disguised first-post grab squeaks past the merciful GAPAs.
1st real post? (Just kidding, Aggie )
Last night I had a dream that I was turned into a vampire, found the Cullens, and became part of their family. I’ve been reading waaaay too much Twilight.
Funny how the things we do influence dreams…I wonder if you could control that sort of thing? Like read a bunch of some book for a couple of days and then dream about it (by choice)?
haha. I once finished reading Peter and the Starcatchers and in my dream, I thought I could fly, so I did. I had the “treasure” in my bag and villains were chasing me. I flew and flew still I suddenly found myself falling and falling….
I was regularly writing down my dreams for a while, but then they got really surreal and hard to hold on to. Last night all I can remember is walking barefoot over a snowy path of pebbles. Home was on the other side of a nearbye lake, and everybody was going around the long way, but my grandpa noticed how many things I was picking up, so he asked me to come around the short way with him.
I had a strange dream a few nights ago.
I was floating in space with this little pointy-eared green alien, and we would suffocate if we didn’t get through a door floating in front of us, which resembled the one from the Twilight Zone intro. We got through, and inside it looked like the interior of the TARDIS (from Doctor Who). All these random people and aliens were inside, and one of them said that the room-thingy was carrying too much weight and would explode unless someone jumped out. The green alien sacrificed himself to save everyone, but the room-thingy exploded anyway, and then I woke up.
I watch/read too much science fiction.

January nineteenth. No comment [I hadn’t written for about five days, and this is supposed to be a daily thing].
I had the most wonderful dream last night! The last part was pretty boring, but I do remember the first was amazing.
I was some sort of Eragon half-breed in a battle to the death with a golden dragon that may or may not have had a girl on its back at different points throughout the story. I remember specifically somehow losing my dragon and climbing to the top of the mountain (which was supposed to be really hot but somehow I did it) to get away from them and then locating them with my mind – I then went down a bit and found a crack in the lava rock and made it bigger with magic, making boards with my mind and reinforcing the tunnel as I went. I didn’t know why I was doing this, but Eragon must have, because I blasted a hole in the wall more violently than I had been tunneling before, and mortally wounded the golden dragon, which was somehow in a secret room in the rock!
Before that we had been racing around in circles and battling each other, and another thing I remember is that the girl existed at that point and she told me that if you jumped off your dragon right as you went around a turn the turn went faster. It was all in water, and I was really doubtful, but I tried anyway. I think that might have been the point at which I lost my dragon, because I fell off.
The reason I was racing around in circles (though not the reason it was on dragons or I was fighting at the same time) was made clear when there was an absolutely massive dreamshift [I call the sudden change in subject a dreamshift] – and suddenly I was a successful young racecar driver bringing glory to his town (that had never won the race I was in until now and had always been crazy about it). Everyone liked me except the owner of the opposing car team, who wanted to buy my victory out. I remember going into a long long LONG building and sneaking into the bathroom while the celebrations were going to talk to my wife named Sei Sung – who for some reason even over the phone I knew was very ugly (and Hawaiian) but I deeply loved. I couldn’t wait to talk to her, but then a band made up of all euphoniums started playing right outside the bathroom, and I had to run away, all the while telling her to wait, which I was really guilty about.
I finally got on the phone in a reliable place with her, but I don’t remember much of the conversation. I think most of it was how much she loved me and I loved her and how she was so proud of me, and I’m just remembering now that it contained a warning about the other car company who would try to buy me out. Good timing, because the place I had found was right underneath a giant billboard, where the CEO of the company was for some reason plastering menacingly a new billboard up – one that had me in the company’s colors (an evil version of Cars?).
At this point there was an even larger dreamshift, and I was an English schoolboy – but we were at HCS [community I used to be part of but am not now, GAPA]. Everyone was still congratulating everyone about a winner, but it was all polite, and the rich man’s son was getting a balloon ride back to the classroom (or playground) while everyone else had to walk. This turned into a balloon ride for him and the winner, who I forget, and then into a free-for-all ride because they needed more weight on the rope ladder (that everyone was riding on) trailing from the balloon. I got on below Rebecca [awesome girl from school, gives me hugs, wears a coat literally all the time], I can remember, because I wanted to talk to her, but I never did.
The balloon ride was very hectic – many people got trailed away almost until the edge of the “cliff” that was the hill before the tennis court, until we realized the rich boy (I think his name might have been Kevin) was just scaring us because he told us all we had to do to get off safely was unclip ourselves (even though we hadn’t been clipped before). I and a few others ran along the line unclipping everyone – at which point there was a very tiny dreamshift, and everyone faded away. I was walking up to the school on that side, which was now a long bar-restaurant with yellow stools all around the outer edge. Sei Sung was on the other edge, but now she had another husband or something, even though we both still loved each other.
The husband was the barkeep, and he didn’t approve of me at all. Sei Sung still did, and we talked for a bit about comfort food – I remember whenever I would order something, the name of the thing and a Spore-ish graphic of it would fade into my vision then fade out quickly. After that, the conversation ended somehow, and I was walking back down, thinking that I really needed a job (Some background: before I had seen a lake with a boat on it while playing some sort of game, but I don’t remember the game enough to mention it.). I went all the way down the hill and saw Eric I****** [younger brother of a very dear friend, annoying at times, but cool] – a little older – with a red hat, stringing rubber bands on something – but they were nautical rubber bands, so he must be doing work, which meant I could get a job where he worked!
I quickly followed him and asked for a job, and he told me to look at the sign down there, which was as big as the entire wall of the dock thing. I looked, and among the prices for canoes and such, there was one item right at the top that payed “$1 an hour” (in flowery script) for the job he was doing. Somehow I also knew I had to wear one of the red hats, so I put it on, but it was way too big even when I adjusted it. Then it was a better fit as we went inside to see the manager, but also my ears were buzzing and I could barely hear anything.
Suddenly Devin [another awesome girl from school and YWP – doesn’t give me hugs as often :D] was there, dressed really finely for the work she was doing, and the ear buzzing went away. They were talking about “nailing our spot on first”, and I was curious, so we went into the dining hall of what was now a camp. I remember that the entire time Eric was really aloof and intolerant. We never saw Devin again, but for some reason I heard her voice explaining that a camper had come downstairs (there was no apparent upstairs to the building) in the middle of the night and asked (switch to the scene) one of the counselors if they “could be your Paris Hilton”, which I really didn’t understand. That’s the last thing I remember.
Point is, I slept better than I have in a LONG time last night. Did the futon solve my problem? [the one I’ve been having where I can’t sleep to save my life (which is often true, considering I have to get up for school)]”
That’s that. Sorry it’s so raw, but hey – makes it more interesting, I think.

3–I think I’ve heard of people who can dream by choice…or maybe it was that people really can’t. I dunno. *shrugs* But your dream made me smile, ’cause I know plenty of people that would love to have it!
Does anyone else get that feeling where you can’t remember much about your dream, but it makes you feel sorta happy?
6- You actually REMEMBERED all that? Congratulations, you have a mind like a steel trap.
7- Much of the time, yes.
I’m going to bed soon- I’ll try to remember. Once, I had a dream where I got up, went to school and got yelled at by my french teacher for writing the date 16.01.09 instead of “le seize janvier deux-mille neuf”. When I woke up, I thought “thank godness, just a dream. Then I went to school, where I got my french test back. The teacher had crossed out my date with red pen- sure enough, I’d written it wrong. She didn’t yell at me though.
@8 – I woke up and immediately wrote all of it down that I could remember – then just copied and pasted from my journal to here. Literally, it was RIGHT after.
I couldn’t remember most of the details from the first part… Sadness…

Most of my dreams should be rushed straight to the ER of the R and R thread.
I had a nightmare the night before last that I was falling down a dusty wooden shaft with bursts of flame shooting out of the walls randomly.
I have no dreams, as weird as that is. Only on very rare occasions. Freaky, huh?
3- That’s kind of like lucid dreaming, which I’ve done and is very fun.
Last night I had a sleepover with three of my friends and my friend Julia was talking like crazy:
“I wanna pet the bunny!”
“Just dance, guys!”
“Don’t touch my sweater!”
“No! Gimme my sweater!”
At this point she got up, apparently still asleep, stepped over/on my friend Lindsay, went to the door, and walked straight into it with a loud CLUNK. She woke up, and was very confused. I told her what had happened, and she got back into bed and fell asleep again. When we woke up in the morning, me, Lindsay, and Dasha (my other friend) remembered the incident clearly, but Julia didn’t at all. It was really funny, though. I wonder what she had been dreaming about…
I’ve been pondering dreams lately, having just finished the last volume of the Sandman saga by Neil Gaiman, which was absolutely terrific, by the way. But strangely enough, I can’t remember any of my dreams for the past few days. But dreams are cool. GO MORPHEUSSS.
Is anyone good at dream interpretation? I have had the same nightmare since I was five, and even though when I explain it does not sound scary, I find it horribly frightening.
Okay, there’s this empty room, with nothing but a small pink or blue (it changes) bed in it. The bed is really tiny and rocking slowly and peacefully like a rocking chair. It’s not making any sound. Then, soon, it gets bigger, and louder, and its rocking higher. That goes on until I wake up, and when I wake up, I’m crying.
Can anyone explain?
I had a really weird dream last night. Kokonilly had called me (i know her outside of here) and then she was talking about some surprise and then i figured out we were having a coneference call with Vendeval and then there were some other MBers there but I don’t remember who exactly. I think there was somebody who had multiple people in their name, and they were a girl.and Bookworm was there and i kept mixing him and Vendeval up. and then somehow we all ended up in this feild/prarie restoration thing and then when I got home my parents were really mad and they gave me some horrible punishment and that was the end. I told you it was weird.
15- I don’t know what you’re talking about when you say that doesn’t sound scary. That’s terrifying.
I haven’t had any dreams in a long while, which is an enormous relief. I go through phases–I won’t dream for a month, and then I’ll have a week of really vivid, scary dreams that I can never remember in detail but which stay with me for days. I haven’t had normal dreams for months.
Okay, just thought I’d let you guys know that I’m very knew to this thing *grins* And so if I do something weird, tell me. I don’t completely get how this works yet, So.. hi everyone. This is the first time I’ve written on here.
Anyway, recently I’ve been having really weird dreams. In these dreams I keep encountering this guy who I’ve met online, but never even seen his face. It’s.. strange. I don’t really know why he keeps entering my dreams. I think I’m in love with him or something, but I don’t see how that’s possible because I’ve never seen him before…
Very strange dreams, everyone. I haven’t had any terribly interesting dreams, lately, but I did have an anxiety dream a few nights ago. I was giving a science presentation about horseshoes [not really life science, but go figure] and the class were very loud and obnoxious. And then the teacher said I got an F because I couldn’t make them quiet down…
15-It’s probably some memory from when you were little and something bad happened to you in a bed… ask your mom about it, maybe?
I have this really weird dream every year around Halloween time. I’m in the principal’s office at my old elementary school, and in the dream, she’s got a skeleton hanging in her office. Then the skeleton turns out to be alive. It chases me and my friend through the school, and then it starts chasing all of the students through the school. Eventually it trips on the steps outside the school, and falls down. I go down and discover it’s my Uncle Bill wearing a mask. I don’t actually have an Uncle Bill, which is weird.
And once I had a dream where I went to a new school and there was a roller coaster in the classroom and it was themed like the Old West and then there were a bunch of old people on the tracks and we tied them to the wall with string. It was odd.
20- That is so weird. I had the same dream every year for about 6 years before the beginning of school, and there was ALWAYS a skeleton in the principal’s office. Whoah……….
In my experience, it’s not usually the principal who’s got the skeleton. It’s usually the vice-principal. After all, they are the one who has to seem scary…
13- Sounds like you need more zinc in your diet. I’ve heard that that helps you remember your dreams.
I had the weirdest dream last night.
I was in drivers training and driving the training car with the guy I like (we will call him bob) and my best friend (Jane) in the back seat. I was at an intersection and turned into the wrong lane. We got in a huge accident and Jane was in a coma, Bob got this huge cut on his head and i broke my leg and then something else was wrong with me but i don’t remember. But Bob and i were in the same hospital room and we were talking and then this girl who i think Bob likes walked into the room and then everything went really fuzzy around the edges and then just faded to black and i knew i was dying and then it just ended.
It was really creepy and now i’m freaked out to take drivers training.
I’ve been having a lot of vivid dreams recently. One of the more bizarre ones started fairly grounded in reality.
At the beginning, I had just been transferred to the other high school, East. I’ve been having a lot of those dreams, and I’m always distressed because my friends who go to East are never there, and the only people I can find I either dislike or don’t know. In this particular dream, I was panicking because my schedule was completely messed up. Instead of having my usual classes, I had a mixture of ones that were way too easy, way too hard, and completely insane (e.g. arranging flowers and pine needles in wooden clogs). I was on my way to the office to get my schedule fixed when I ran into half of my 8th grade class, who had all been transferred as well. We were all trying to get our schedules fixed, and then the school dissolved and everyone else disappeared and I was outside on the street. People and dogs exploded out of no where, and all of the dogs were evil. If they bit you, you turned into a dog. The dream got a bit incoherent here, but essentially my dog, who wasn’t evil, helped me find the apartment where my family (who were not my real family) were sheltered. I stayed in there while a nuclear winter wiped out most of humanity, and then went outside to search for survivors. My grandparents were in a house across the street, next door to my friend. That’s when I woke up.
3- I had a dream about Twilight at some point.
I was standing outside an old amusement park, taking photos (I love photography!). I had given my umbrella to Rosalie and she was sitting on some cement porch steps, fiddling with it. I remember being frustrated when I realized that she wouldn’t give it back to me and that if I tried to get it back from her, I wouldn’t be able to catch her. I was in the middle of lamenting about how it was a new umbrella and that I had just bought it when I woke up.
… Weird, huh?
Speaking of umbrellas… I had a dream that I was walking to a park with my friends, when suddenly they spontaneously combusted. A guy I do plays with walked up, and we decided to go to a coffee shop near my house. When we got there, the inside of the place looked like a vendor’s market in the 1800s. There was this old woman selling pastries shaped like birds. She offered one to “Person” (that’s what we’ll call him for now) and he politely declined, but she forced him to eat it. Then he turned into a small pink owl. “Ha! You ate a bird with a one-calorie beak!” said the old woman. “You cannot fly and are weak!” Then she put him in a big crate with a bunch of other birds. I named “Person” Umbrellatelephonepole. Then Zeke from High School Musical (ugh) came up and offered me a tray of cookies. I said no, but he helped spring Person/Umbrellatelephonepole out of the crate. As we were walking with P/UTP, these two African-American guys came up. One was really tall and had a huge dog, and the other was a drag queen. The drag queen was wearing this orange dress that was slit up the sides. As it turns out, he wanted to eat us. Zeke gave Tall Guy the tray of cookies and Tall Guy told us that Drag Queen was actually Old Woman. tall guy was helping us run away, and that’s where the dream ended. Weird, huh?
I had the oddest dream last night. (scratch post thirteen)
There was this guy from Rockstar North (Grand Theft Auto games)
walking along the train tracks. The look like this, 100 feet up in the air.
______________________________________________________

With a beam even higher up ↑ from the top to the bottom, crisscrossing it.
So the scene switches to me talking to the same guy in Rockstar North HQ. I say “Hey, if your games didn’t have so much blood, gore and violence, what would they be rated?” He does not respond. It switches to the woods in back of my house, which is odd, because in back of my house all there is are marsh.
So, my friend (call him…Candle) Candle and I were there, with the guy from Rockstar. We were weightlifting with Rock Band 2 drums.
Apparently it’s a great feat of strength to lift the guitar.
So, we weight lift for a minute and then it switches back to the RR.
A train comes on the first track, and the guy from Rockstar walks calmly in front of the train, which stops. Then, for no apparent reason, the other track blows up, along with a bridge somewhere.
Then some girl stranded on top of the crisscross beam screams. I ignore her, and follow the backed-up train line down to the last car, then jump in and ride to Canada.
That has reoccurred three times.
I’ve also had one where I try to run away out the back door at midnight. I get as far as my neighbors house, and they hide me in a crawlspace. Then it switches to me rolling down a hill in a beautiful meadow. Then it ends…this has happend at least four times. Weird, huh?
I remember two points from last nights dream:
-My mom telling me how haveing a kokon would be a GREAT idea
and,
-Me badly drawing a duck for my other granpa, who didn’t know much english in the dream.
Lately I’ve been haveing a ball in my dreams, but I wake up and can hardly remember them.
25, 28- how the heck do you guys remember all these details! When I have dreams, I wake up remembering 1 or 2 things from them, and that’s it.
Tigerlily- Not sure. The fact that I write ’em down after I wake up could help :] Plus, I have great memory.
chocolate
that’s all that needs to be said
My friend has changed her clothes in front of this boy she likes three times in different dreams… it’s really strange.
I think the worst nightmare I’ve ever had is this:
I was on an adventure, in my dream, and there were different levels to it, like a video game. I passed the level where I had to fight a dragon, and the one where I just went through a city. Then I got to this room where there were a bunch of tables. I was with my extended family, who I really love being around. They were all forgetting who they were. They all sat down at these tables and talking and forgetting who they were and what they were doing, slowly. I pulled on my favorite cousin’s arm, and she didn’t recognize me and went back to talking. Then I saw my dad going to sit in these red velvet chairs. If you sat in them, you would go to sleep and never wake up, just sleep forever. I saw a table laid out with things from a Passover seder, and I knew if my dad ate the horseradish from it, he would wake up and be himself again. I tried to tug him towards the seder table, but it was really far away and he was stronger than me. He sat down in the chair and went to sleep. Then the rest of my family went to go sit, and I couldn’t get any of them to the seder table, and that’s when I woke up.
I don’t tend to nightmares, but the worst dream I had in a long time was a couple nights ago. It all started when our Grandma dragged my brother and I through a depressing, grey version of chinatown to an arcade where the minimum amount of time you could pay for was 7 and a half hours and they only had three bad video games.
When we were finally leaving I saw a buisness card promoting a kids class on how to be a gangster. After that she dropped us off at school, where I got into a big fight with this kid in my class. I was really ashamed because one girl wrote a book about the incident and was allowed to display it in the main hall. I retired to the backwaters of the building, where a local artist resided. He gave me a thermos full of crystal cold water. It had some flecks of gross-looking stuff in it, but I was really thirsty and thought I could avoid them. But when I put the vessel to my lips I got a big mouthfull of mummy sludge. I spat it out in a blue plastic basin filled with other student’s similar experiances. I lurk some more until a young girl takes me through this creepy alley with a dead body in a dumpster. We arrive at a safe haven, but there are no locks on the doors and the only safe floors are 1&8. We go up to floor 8, where I meet the kids who (I think) live here. At this point, its not like we’re orphans or anything. The halphlight cycle of school and after school care just lasts the ages. The safehaven’s mazes are tidy and well furnished, but fear and dread are thick on the air.
I had a dream last night that I was back at Space Academy and the councilor was telling us about this crazy guy in a wig like judges used to wear who ran around an art museum hugging marble statues. So they locked him up somewhere in Huntsville, but he escaped and died somehow, and his ghost was haunting the camp and he tried to strangle a kid in the simulator or something.
Although to be fair, I did have a rather high fever while I was dreaming this.
I once had a dream where I forgot the wake up before you land rule. I walked into a room, realized that something wasn’t right, and figured out that it was a dream. upon realizing that, I burnt to death, and felt a subdued amount of the flames. this repeated about three times, until I decided to mess with the system, and altered the dream. I violated the pinch-me-i’m-dreaming rule. I felt pain in a dream.
I now do not trust dreams, and try to beat the system whenever I realize that I am dreaming. I’ve gotten quite good at it, and almost always know a dream is a dream from the start.
Look the monster in the eye, and a spoken command does wonders. Especially if it normally would be possible for the attacker to complete the order in the real world.
I have recently had a dream in which i was walking down an endless road to get to the snipville harbor (snipville does not have a harbor in real life) to go to wales. I had, for some odd reason, to save the prince of wales, who was in danger of being blown up by guy fawkes. A random girl popped up out of nowhere and began to talk about babylon and assyria, then disappeared. Then i got on a ship and woke up. Any interpretations?
I had a dream where San Fransisco was Communist (we just finished the 50s in History) and then it was Capitalist again. I was in a Great Depression bread-line type thing (In San Fransisco) going up a long set of stairs, sort of like the ones to the practice rooms in my school–hot, cramped,and cream-colored–with my friend F. We moved slowly up the line until we got to the front. Then we went into a dark room and the lunch lady had us pay for our lunches. I went over and punched in my student ID number on the keypad (That’s how we pay) and then F went but got his number wrong. The lunch lady asked him to try again but this time he but in a bunch of exclamations like, HI!!!! GREAT!!!! AWESOME!!!. I started getting impatient and hungry waiting in a dark room for F to finish putting in his student ID number. Then, my alarm went off.
My dreams tend to end abruptly when they get boring. Like, I randomly finished playing a game in a dream and then I ate cake and then I woke up. My other friends’ dreams have definite endings to them.
You know what’s funny? When your teachers are in your dreams. It’s so hilarious!
37-About a month ago I had a dream about people with guns and knives trying to kill me. I was running away when I realized that this couldn’t possibly be real because I didn’t remember waking up, and thus I was dreaming.So then I also realized that “Hey, this is a dream, pain is nonexistent, I can’t die, and I’m invincible!” So then I just ran around getting chewed up by tons of bullets and generally beating the bad guys up. I had several similar dreams in the following week, but then they just stopped and I haven’t really dreamed since.
I once had a dream where I was on the run from Canadian mounties, who for some reason served Queen Elizabeth II. I got into a really old car just as they caught up with me. I ripped out the seatbelts and started fighting them with the buckles. The mounties then transformed into a girl who really hates me from camp, so I ended up trying to hit her, but with no effect.
That is the most violent dream I’ve had. Though not the most random one, unfortunately.
41- More random than that one I posted on the last thread with the crazy lady electrocuting me while muttering “SpongeBob SquarePants”?
42- Almost as random as that. You be the judge.
The most random dream I can remember is this one:
It took place in kindergarten (I had this dream a very long time ago), which for some reason was in my bedroom. A gorilla came in the door and offered us (a group of kindergartners) some tobacco. I said no for all of us, and the gorilla said, “Suit yourself”. Then it started taking off its hands and putting on new, surgical ones. I asked it what it was doing, and it explained that it was going to give me plastic cheeks. I tried to hand it its regular hands, but the gorilla politely declined.
Then I woke up.
Since then I’ve been squeamish at the thought of plastic surgery.
I had a great dream the other night. I was in the Order of the Phoenix, and Lupin was my boyfriend. I’m not sure if I was Tonks or not, but it was cool noetheless.
I had a nightmare a few days ago that involved a certain former vice-presidential candidate trying to catch and hurt me.
45- Palin? *shudder* I sympathize.
46- Yes. I really need to lean that take-control-of-the-dream thing.
45 – Scary. Shoot her from a helicopter next time.
Before she shoots you.
All the mavericks in the house put ya hands up!
All the plumbers in the house pull ya pants up!
23: NO! You can’t eat me! (just kidding)
48- I was planning on pulling out a lightsaber and cutting her in two, but that’s a good idea as well.
I had a dream a few weeks ago that I was walking through a field of knee deep grass with my dog, Maggie. I was headed toward my dad, who was standing on a dirt road on the other side of the field. I walked forever and ever, and then I finally reached the other side, where there was a wide strip of mowed down grass. When Maggie comes onto the short grass, there is a big snake behind her. I try to call my Dad to help, but my voice is stuck shut in that weird way it will in dreams, and he was facing the other way. My feet are stuck too. Maggie turns around and bites and kills the snake, but the snake bites her and injects her with venom, so they both die.
The strange part is, a few days after that, I went to my sister’s house, and almost stepped on a snake in her yard. Now I’m scared to take Maggie for walks.
I had a great dream last night that I went to visit my cousin in Massachusetts and he took me to the local airport in his city where his friend had this really cool silver airplane. We all got inside, and his friend flew really fast over the city, doing lots of acrobatics. We flew over this street and all these people cheered and chased the plane. We landed in a red-tile plaza, like those ones in Italy, and all the people ran up to see the plane.
45- Haha, Kai, that was me. See, I’m playing Palin/Scarecrow in a parody of Wizard of Oz… and I do look a lot like her… *shudder*
I haven’t had any memorable dreams lately. However, I still remember vividly a nightmare I’ve had since the summer before fifth grade. How strange is that?
When I was a really little kid, I had this dream where I woke up in my bed and the people next to me were all asleep, and there were lots of dinosaurs parading around, and so I was scared and I inched past them into my parents room. I woke up in their bed. I’m not really sure what happened.
SFTDP but last night I had a dream where Jim Carrey was chasing me and suddenly I was in my schools Gym on top of a rickety old platform, and it was so unstable that one of his henchman fell of when they got on and died. That’s when I woke up.
48- May I join in on that? Some of my moose buddies want revenge…
I had a weird dream last night. I don’t remember anything except that I found my hairbrush (shocking, I know) and all the bristles were gone. Then I woke up. Very odd. O.o
I had a dream about a book I read called Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. I’d like to talk about it, but first I want to make sure it’s OK, cause the dream contains spoilers.
59) Randomosity 101: To solve the spoiler problem, start your comment with a spoiler warning. How about “SPOILER WARNING FOR EON: DRAGONEYE REBORN. ?
60- OK, thanks:
SPOILER WARNING FOR EON: DRAGONEYE REBORN.
So, my dream starts in my room. I’m walking to the door, and I’m so, so thirsty. Then there’s a change in dreamscape, and suddenly I’m Eon on the combat training sands. My hip is killing me, but unlike in the book, it is the only pain I feel. Then my dream skips ahead in the story, and I’m next to Eon in the combat to impress the dragon. I’m hearing what ens sword is saying, and when Eon refuses to do Dragon Whips Tail my dream jumps ahead in the story again. This time, the Mirror Dragon picks Eon as Dragoneye, and I’m screaming “You’re a girl! You’re a girl!” Then my dream skips to the end of the story and I’m Eona and you don’t want to know what almost happens to me. And then I woke up with the image of being trapped in a red bean bun in my eye.
Well, I finally dreamed about MuseBlog. In the dream, I was sitting in some classroom that I didn’t recognize, and there were other students in the classroom. I noticed a note on my desk that said something like, “Are we still hanging out after school, Eric?” It must’ve been for someone else, but it was signed “Red-Tailed HAWK”. I looked behind me and asked the girl sitting there if it was her note. She said it was, and she said that she knew I was Piggy. Then my Latin teacher came into the room and started talking about MB as if he were a GAPA. (He does remind me of RoCoo, in a way.) The three of us talked about some old thread called the “Vortex Thread” or something. The thread was just a blank thread where you could just add a bunch of colour, and it was a very long thread completely colored over. Apparently there was a second installment that looked cooler but wasn’t as popular. Then I must’ve woken up.
A Vortex Thread sounds like fun. Maybe we’ll be able to do something like that after the next *shudders* upgrade.
One week, I had a chess tournament on thursday and a latin test on friday.
The night before the tournament; I dreamt that I was playing chess in a big room, but then I looked up and my opponent was a muse. I tried to find out which one, but I had the feeling that it wasn’t important because the game wouldn’t count in the scoring because the judge would disqualify the muse.
((funny; usually I´m often uncertain about some things, but in my dreams I´m always sure that thing will be that way because they are that way. I don’t remember thinking “the muse will be disqualified because he/she doesn’t exist/ is a comic figure”, I just knew that the muse was there and would be disqualified.))
Then I was writing a letter to muse and I HAD to think of a question for the Q & A column. Then I thought of starfish. I tried to decide what question about starfish to ask. I came to the conclusion that I needed an article on starfish, because I had to many questions. Finally I dreamt that a starfish ate my latin textbook. It was just like my memories of starfish from the tropics, except that one was sitting on my latin textbook, which had gotten soggy and was disintegrating in the water. It was missing its blue plastic cover. “Duh !” I thought “Otherwise the starfish couldn’t eat it !” After that I woke up.
I did quite badly at the tournament. The next day, I remembered the latin test at 7:33 a.m., the latin test starting at 8:00 a.m.. I went in thinking: “So flunk me teacher for I haven’t studied.” I got the test back later, my score being -6,5. The second-best was my friend, with -7, but she didn’t count because I helped her cheat. The only other smart kid, my chess nemesis, got -15. Yay me !
I sort of interpreted the disintegrating latin textbook as a warning to study, and the chess match versus the muse as a sign that I shouldn’t take it too seriously (I did). But for the life of me, I can’t figure out what the starfish means ?!?!?
The other night I had a dream which (kinda) relates to a book I was reading (explanation will follow below summary, for those who are spoiler aware).
So I was part of this secret group whose objective was to destroy and eliminate another group of people. The opposing group was called S, and we had no name. Our leader was showing us a movie about what had happened the last time S had attacked. They were in a room that was a computer, like the inside of it, if that makes any sense. And they were trying to blow it up, but by having each member of our good team blow up the targets at the same time, they were blown up instead and we escaped. The video ended, and our instructor told us that it was 2 hours until S’s next attack, and that we had little hope of surviving or succeeding. My friend, who didn’t know about this secret group, had been pestering me for a while about where I’d been going, and half an hour ’til I told him the truth, and that he needed to get out. Then I went back towards the base, where S had just arrived. I ran into the building, but it was too late. S had just pushed the enter button on the keyboard, and it caused a bunch of tiny white arrows to run all around the building, spiraling in on one huge bomb in the middle of the room. I grabbed my instructor, and ran out. We’d just made it out of the building when it exploded behind us. The landscape around us was desolate, and bombs exploded in the distance. My instructor turned to me and said, “It will never be the same.”
Then I woke up.
Oh! I forgot my explanation! (It’s really not that bad)
******SPOILER FOR THE BOOK THE TIME TRAVELERS BY LINDA BUCKLEY ARCHER.*****
I swear its not really that bad.
So in the book Peter gets left back in 1793, and his parents have to figure out who to tell. So they end up telling Inspector Wheeler, the police, and he finds out some useful things. That, I think, inspired telling my friend Corbin what was going on.
I dreamt about MB last night. It was the Superheros and Mary Sues thread. Sooo random. I’ve had other dreams, but I should go now…
62- Wait, is Eric your real name? ‘Cause if not, the note might have been for POSOC, because that’s his character in MAL. Were you reading the thread?
61- Oh, I read that book. It’s weird.
Last night, I ironically had a nightmare that I couldn’t fall asleep no matter where I went or how hard I tried.
57- Feel free. Let’s all learn lucid dreaming and gang up on her.
I never have nightmares. Now I actually want to have one to see how it feels.
68- No, Eric’s not my name, which made me confused (in the dream). And, in my dream, I knew there was no one with that name, so I figured that “HAWK” must’ve written a fake note just to introduce herself to me. And no, I haven’t read the MAL thread. It might’ve been some other E name. I can’t remember. Another cause of confusion for me was the fact that the real Red-Tailed HAWK is a boy, but the dream HAWK was a girl. Overall a rather bizarre but fun dream.
63- From what I remembered, the thread was very fun, but hadn’t been used in a long time. It’s weird, because it actually seems as though there was a thread like that. It was just a dream memory, but it seems like a real memory. I’ve never had a memory in a dream before. It’s like you remember something in real life, something that happened a while ago, but, in your dream, you remember an event which didn’t actually happen in real life. (I apologize for the definite lack of sense that made.)
Anyway, from what I “remember” of the Vortex Thread, you could just go in and draw splotches of colour or something, like MS Paint, but not as rough. There wouldn’t be any way to make a real one, though, at least not the same as in my dream.
I almost never remember my dreams, which makes this one all the more special. *thinks* I must’ve ingested a lot of zinc yesterday or something…
(SFTDP.) In my last post, it should’ve read, “…I knew that there was no one in the class with that name…”
Have you ever had a dream where you wake up in a position relating to the dream? For instance, I had this dream that I was a vampyre, and when I woke up I was hanging upside-down from the side of my bed with my arms crossed over my chest! (It was a loft bed, which is like a bunk bed with no bottom bunk, which is how I could hang over the side).
73–well, in dreams where I”m really upset and crying, or yelling, I often wake up crying, or very pissed off, often actually finishing whatever I was screaming in my dream (like in a mostly asleep mutter), even though I”m really nhot consciously awake yet….
74- Yeah, I guess I go all-out for dreams.
I had a nightmare that a living statue was trying to chop my head off. Every time I would run into a room or hallway and think I was safe, the statue would appear in front of the door and try to get me.
As soon as I woke up, the first thing I looked at was the door to my room!
76 – It wasn’t an angel statue, was it?
77–are you thinking HP?
I had a dream–was it just last night? Holy wung buttons, it was! it seems ages ago……where I dreamt about MuseBlog in abstract. I had this dream, where I was at home sleeping in my bed, and then my sister came and woke me up, because I had supposedly been making noise and woke her up, so she wanted revenge. I was half asleep, was like, no I was not making whatever noise just woke you up, but of course by the time I got that acorss to her, I was wide awake and could not go back to sleep. Anyway, i realized that it was my grandmother (who was apparently visiting in my dream), whose alarm had gone off, so that she could take a shower and get ready to leave (it was two hours before we were leaving–apparently we were going on vacation). [Of course, in real life, my grandmother would never spend this much time to get ready, it would have more likely been my sister taking that much time.] Anyway, I soon became “consciously” aware, that we were going on vacation to New Zealand. As I was wandering around, finishing packing some things, since I coldn’t go back to sleep, there was suddenly this teenage boy around, from New Zealand, who was helping us pack and get ready. I think he was going to tourguide us or something.
So, in my dream, I was in our downstairs bathroom, and the boy was out in the hall, and i heard my parents call him Sam. And in my dream, I was thinking, Sam? As in, Museblog Sam? No…..that couldn’t be. Sam is a girl [she is, isn’t she?], it’s just some odd coincidence that his guy is named Sam and is from New Zealand. But of course, in that way you only have in a dream, i was still holding out some conviction that it really was somehow the same Sam.
Then we skipped to being on a plane, and I guess it was a private jet, because the pilot was somebody familiar to us, and me and someone else (or maybe it was just me, but the body I was inhabiting wasn’t truly me, if you get my drift) were in the doorway to the cockpit, talking to the pilot. Anyway, I (or the other woman, not sure if we were sepearte creatures), noticed that the fuel tank was nearly empty. I (she), commented on it, and the pilot was like, oh, I know, it’s ok, we’ll make it. Then I remember thinking, wtf????? We’re in the middle of the Atlantic, miles from land, how are we going to make it? Then my next thought (which implied I wasn’t really up front peering into the cockpit, even though I WAS), was, just be glad you are back in the passenger section, and have no clue that anything unusual is happening…..Anyway, somehow we were apparently not mikles from land like I thought, as suddenly we were landing at an airport.
However, we aparently landed in the “take off lane”, and I was frekaing out that holy crap, we’ve gotta dodge planes trying to take off, then it suddenly morphed into where we were on a free way packed with cars (still going super fast, btw), and all the cars were ahving to quick swerve out of the way. Then, suddenly we went through a narrow stretch on the free way, and the jet’s wings were chopped off right at the body of the plane, and then…….my alarm went off and I woke up. Just as well, really, the dream wasn’t going particularly well anymore…..
78 – No, I’m thinking of the Doctor Who episode Blink.
77- Actually, yes, it was a bronze angel statue with a sword.
I had this really weird dream where I was in somewhere with ice caps. At one point I dropped my mom’s i-phone into the water. And my dad got mad when I dove in to get it because I was just wearing a thick wetsuit instead of proper scuba gear, and the phone would have been on the bottom already. Later, I was on a roller coaster and there were these two non-humans who I came to understand were my parents. The weirdest part was, aside from when I was on the roller coaster, my dad was with me the entire time (the same dad I have in the real world, not the inhuman one).
Any speculations on what the dream could mean?
I had a multi-tiered dream last night. First, I went down to the computer and found that I had a story being published in an anthology. And then I called my friends, and I posted here. And then, I “woke up.” I went to school, and I went to geography class, where, for no apparent reason, there was a long sequence involving kissing and banging people on the head with a gavel (Yes, there is a gavel in the geography classroom in real life.) And then, I “woke up.” I went to school again. And then, I found that everyone had brought their science model project in except me. And then, my math teacher helped me feel better. And then, I woke up and remembered the project was done already and I’d already gotten graded on it (89.5).
With that many tiers, how can you be sure this isn’t still that dream?
I don’t remember what I dreamed last night. I had one a few weeks ago where this bad guy became in charge of the Museum of Natural History and he replaced all the cool exhibits with broken ones about fertilizer. So my brother and I were criticizing him, but he sent guards to get us. We ran through the museum, past this wall covered in enlarged newspaper articles about the space shuttle , and then hid inside of this big tube thingy. That’s when I woke up.
I had the scariest dream the other night. I was going to an organ lesson, except it was in a new town with a new church. When I got there, there were all these zombie dudes everywhere, and wherever I would go they would jump out at me. I couldn’t escape them, and all I wanted to do was go home, but they were surroudning my car and I couldn’t get to it and they were advancing on me… *shudder*
Sadly, most of my recent dreams tend to be reality. When I take a nap during the day, I dream I am….taking a nap in my dorm during the day.
Last night, I dreamt that I was googling Brendan Fraser, and guess what I was doing for an hour or so before going to bed? Yup, that’s right–googling Brendan Fraser.
I have no life, and my dreams only serve to emphasize the fact….
I just found this again.
I’ve noticed every night I light a candle, I remember my dreams. The longer the candle burns, the more vivid I remember, and the shorter the more fuzzy or the less I remember. Coincidence?
Every time someone tells me about their dream that I was in, I’m wearing something weird. Like a huge orange dress, or a bluish-greenish fluid sweater thing. Or a cupcake hat.
Cupcake hat? What the heck?
A starfish ate my latin textbook. Weird enough ?
86- Yes, probably.
85- You make me laugh so.
86- That’s standard Wiccan magic, the candle burning. My friend taught it to me.
88- I’ve had an elephant eat my latin textbook. But no starfish.
I always dream about people, which apparently never happens to anyone else I know.
I had a REALLY cool dream the other night. I was floating in the air above a forest with a beautiful river running through it and I had to hold onto this book for some reason. I love my flying/floating dreams. That definitely can’t be the reason why I love Maximum ride so much at all. Of course not.
85- That stinks. And of course you have a life. I mean, you read Muse. Duh.
83- Fertilizer?
84- Yes, that’s pretty high on my weird scale.
91- Yes, all the exhibits he added were either about fertilizer or were big plastic machines that didn’t work.
I had a very strange dream last night……I think it was prompted by reading the notice saying that tornado season is starting. *shudder*
So, I dreamt that I dreamt that I was in a tornado. (Yup, that’s right, a dream within a dream.)
In the dream within a dream, I was outside, and it was a bit windy, and I think I was on a playground, and then I looked off toward the distance (like the otherside of the building that I think was supposed to be my dorm complex), and saw that really dark, black clouds were building, kinda like a thunderstorm. But then, the clouds started to reach down toward the earth, and I realized, with utter terror that it was a tornado. So I screamed “tornado”, and went dashing toward the outside stairs that, in my dream, led to the basement where we were supposed to go (note: there are no outside stairs to the basement. there is an outer door that leads direct to the basement, but not any stairs….). Unfortuantely, this required running toward the direction of the tornado, because the stairs were on that side. So, I was at the top of the stairs, gripping the metal handrail, in a press of people all going down, and then the tornado was on top of us, and I was clinging to the hand rail, but I could feel it pulling, and my feet were no longer on the ground, and my hands slipped off the rail and I was spinning in the midst of the tornado.
And then–I “woke up”. That is, I woke from the dream within the dream, and was now merely dreaming. Now, again, there was a tornado, but this time I made it to the basement, and flung myself down and curled up against an interior wall (like you do in ‘quakes) covering my head, and then the tornado struck, tearing through the building, lifting us up–but not so high nor bad this time, and then…..well, I really don’t remember what else happened, if anything. Oh, wait, yes, I do. Let’ see…..I remember that the tornado was then over, I was alive, and maybe it was days after the fact, but I’m not sure. I was talking to my prevet mentor, and something was mentioned about the tornado, and I said, “I would rather an earthquake over a tornado any day of my life.” And she just laughed at me. And I remember a vivid vision briefly flashing across my mind as I said it, of all the destruction that an earthquake could do, building collapsing with me inside,but the shaking myself internally, and deciding it would still be much easier to survive even a very serious earthquake than a tornado…….
*shudder* Tornados are scary to even think about. I really would much rather a nice, safe little earthquake……I hope I never actually experience a tornado–dreaming about it was bad enough.
93- Strange.
I’ve been having really weird dreams. I think they’re from stress. *shrug* I won’t divulge, they’re pretty messed up…
.A few weeks ago, I dreamed that my mom’s contract on her job ended, and she had to get a new one, so she became something to do with recording music (not too clear on this one) and I was really envious (that IS right, Robert?). The people didn’t like me, and I was even madder about that. Then there was a really long, strange interlude to do with boots that I don’t remember much of. I think it involved going to my school and looking in my gym locker. Then I was in a large room that was kind of a mall, I think, and all this weird random stuff happened that I don’t remember very well, but then a bunch of my friends and some MBers were there. I remember Hamish being there, and also someone who I never saw very clearly, but somehow knew was Zinc… odd.
93- “Is all that we see or seem / But a dream within a dream?” –Edgar Allen Poe
Sorry. I had to do that.
I dreamt that A and I (see R&R thread) were supposed to have a date during 7th hour, but, towards the end of 6th, I realised I hadn’t gotten called out of school for any reason, and I didn’t want to get a truancy. So I went into the bathroom to try and text her. The bathroom was huge for some reason, like a Prefect’s Bathroom or something, but it felt like I’d been there before. So I go into one of the stalls and try to text her, but my phone’s software had upgraded itself and I couldn’t figure out how to write a text message. That’s basically all I remember. I’ve had other weird dreams lately too, including one where I was run over at the pumpkin patch by my neighbor. But that’s a different story.
Okay, one more. I dreamed that it was, for some reason, my first day at college. I signed up for my classes on my high school website, which then printed me my schedule right then and there. My dad took me to church to practice the organ when I realised that I was late for astronomy. We drove there really quickly, but it was too late. I was worried that the professor would kick me out of the class. My next class was some sort of science class. Then I got hungry and was suddenly at home watching TV with my sister. She told me that there was somewhere on campus where I could get a bagel. Anyways, then I went and looked at my dorm and woke up.
There’s a funny xkcd comic about dreams: www . xkcd . com/203
I had a dream last night that I was in this shed in this valley and somebody gave me this card that had a mini-movie screen on it and some buttons so I could control what was on the screen or something like that.
Friday night I dreamed that I (finally) got my Jan/Feb issue of Muse in the mail but it looked like an older issue, but it was different.
I *think* the magazine had vines covering a green picture on the cover, but I’m not sure.
Anyone know what issue it might’ve been?
I had a dream where my uncle and 2 friends took me out to a cool MB diner, and they made HPB pizzas and joined MB.
Last night I had an extremely confused dream. Probably because I got about four hours of sleep. It involved losing my iPod, finding it, thinking it was mine, and finding out it was a different one. There was an iPod and an extremely strange looking MP3 player which looked a bit like a Nintendo DS that I kept finding. It was SO frustrating, I never actually managed to find the real one.
This would be the time of year to look for bunny-shaped pizza pans, if such things exist.
I had a really weird dream once, where Tonks betrayed the Order, and her daemon turned against her, and the secret Bike drowned itself. It was weird.
One weord thing is that sometimes I am a character in a dream, and I know who I am, and the other characters interact with me (I am sometimes “me” as a character, but that still counts as a character), sometimes I see myself standing there, being part of the dream, interacting with everyone else, but it’s like I’m watching a movie-come-to-life with me in it, but I’m on the side watching me (wow i’m being redundant), and sometimes there is only one me, standing there, and watching, and trying to talk to the other characters and no one notices me but the evil villains.
It’s kind of sad.
Oooh! Dreams! I LOVE dreams! (Am I too enthusiastic?) I’m kind of goodish at analyzing dreams, too. It’s all nonsense, but it’s still fun to analyze dreams.
Anyways, I noticed some of you guys talking about conrolling what you dream. This is called lucid dreaming. It’s technically a sleep disorder, but I think it’s cool. My friend Kelly is extremely good at lucid dreaming. I can whisper stuff in her ear while she’s asleep and she’ll dream exactly what I tell her.
One time I had a dream in which I met Ringo Starr’s wife. And then Paul McCartney was performing at my school but I left the auditorium because I had already heard the song he was singing. Then everyone left and they all had goodie bags that were blue (?) and I got mad at the people. Then I didn’t have a ride home so Paul McCartney drove me home. Then I said, “I know this probably gets on your nerves but can I have your autograph?” And so he signed a piece of paper that looked like my mom’s shopping list, but his signature was really demented and had all these insane doodles all over it. Then I went back to school and I said to my friend Kate (who isn’t even in any of my classes) “Kate! Look! I got Paul McCartney’s autograph!” (BTW Kate was hiding behind my homeroom teacher’s desk.) Then I started searching through my jacket pocket and when I found the paper with his signature on it, the paper was all ripped up and you couldn’t even read it.
But I know exactly why I dreamt this! The day before I had watched “Yellow Submarine” with my cousin and my friend Kate was telling me that her friend in London met Paul McCartney and he wouldn’t get me his autograph!
Wow, I have weird dreams.
Oh whoops, I forgot to include this in my other post.
102– I always dream “from the sidelines” like you said. I always am watching the dream happen, not actually being me.
Does anyone ever have dreams where you know you’re dreaming and want to wake up because it seems that it’s been going on forever?
105- No, whenever I know I’m dreaming, I wake up. Which is especially good in nightmares because the minute I realize that, my eyes open and I’m safely awake.
but my uncle’s chronically depressed. and we didn’t get bunnified. the pizzas were my kind of pizzas, basically the crust, nothing on it, not even sauce. They were even pink and had cutouts for the eyes and mouth. Ack!
98–Perhaps March 2004? The one where Koko&Co was Feather feeding dirt to the rainforest? *shrug* I really dunno what the cover of that one was……Or perhaps it was only in your dream where the cover was familiar? I’ve had occurrences like that before.
I remember a dream from when I was little about living in an underwater habitat. The strange thing was, I don’t think I even knew there were real underewater habitats at that age.
98- I think it was the one about that vine that took over everything… I don’t think I got Muse in 2004.
How many people have dreams when you die at the end?
111- All the time.
I sometimes do that to myself so I can wake up and get an early start in the morning. Of course, that often leads to me getting up at one in the morning so it has some downfalls
I know what you mean. Usually I’ll just fall back asleep, find I can’t sleep anymore, and draw for the rest of the night. But that’s just me.
111- Alot, but they never seem scary. And I wake up before I die (right when I’m falling, or got thrown into the water, or is swirling in a tornado on a piece of cardboard…)
I dream that I fly very often. Except it really isn’t flying… swim in the air.It is so fun! But I can’t remember much, and I wake up thinking about worms…?!
And you say you’ve never had nightmares? I thought dreams like that WERE nightmares, the CLASSIC nightmares.
But I had FUN.
111- I have drowning dreams sometimes, and I always wake up right before I run out of air. As near as I can tell, I must be also holding my breath in real life, because I’m always gasping for air.
Sometimes I have dreams where I’m doing really cool acrobatics I could never do in real life. Jumping down a whole flight of stairs and landing on my feet or balancing on the tall part of an armchair without knocking it over, that sort of thing.
116- Jumping reminds me of another dream I had many times in my life. I jumped off a balcony with a piece of newspaper with some invisible friend and landed among bunches of cartoonish partying people.
When I was little, I had a dream that I was flying. I had (and still have, somewhere) a light-blue and white striped scarf that I loved. Apparently the secret to flying is to flap your scarf. I remember flying by my friends, who were for some reason at the gas station, and telling them that. Then I flew away. I still have the sensation of flying sometimes….
118- I’ll remember that next time I’m wearing a scarf!
Have you ever dreamed that you were falling, and then had that dropping sensation in the pit of your stomach?
Have you ever had a dream where you knew you were dreaming and could delibrerately wake yourself up? And maybe each time you fell back asleep it was a continuation of that same dream? That happened to me once.
115- I always kill myself by jumping if the dream is taking to long or I don’t like it, and I die when I hit the ground. When I hit the ground, I feel bouncy and then I’m in this vortex before I wake up.
120) I’ve dreamed that I woke up several times. Always, the day started out normal and then something weird happens- a shark come out of the drain, my french teacher turns into Darth Vader, e.t.c.…
121) Ouch. I never die in dreams, or cross bridges or run over hills or all that stuff your supposed to do. Mine usually involve a large boat, my school, my evil french teacher and several million gallons of water, as well as various current events. When I fall in dreams, I always fall backwards, even if I trip and should be falling forwards. And I always wake up before I hit the ground.
My dreams are funny when you think about them later, but if my french teacher is in it it always is a nightmare…
121- I can’t kill myself in dreams. But usually there’s nothing bad about the dream to kill myself about.
Yesterday I had a dream about riding on a piece of cardboard which somehow reminded me of the word “horse”. I was flying by myself, there was someone chasing me, I remembered something about water, and I thought that it was fun. The first word I thought of when I woke up was “rat”.
Very creepy dream last night that my teacher (a really nice guy) turned out to be a serial killer… can’t remember any details, fortunately… immediately followed up by a much better dream of which i can remember nothing but its vague niceness.
120- yes, in a dream about getting lost on my way home from school in a forest… for some odd reason, i seem to remember my phys ed teacher being in the forest.
Re: Dream Suicide
Things like suicide never ever occur to me in dreams. Nothing even the least bit close to common sense has happened in my dreams since I was five. I once had a dream about some 50-year old kind of drunk half-naked guy hanging in a giant sock that was nailed to the wall of my room, but instead of calling the police, I just told my mom, who, being a nightmare-mom as opposed to my real mom, told me to “tell him to go away, and he will.” That dream was frightening and frustrating. When I woke up, I was terrified, even though technically, though the room I was in was exactly like mine, the outside of the house was completely not like the outside of mine, so technically I had nothing to be afraid of…I was miles away from that guy
I had another twisted dream last night. I won’t even delve into detail, it was so weird.
I had a dream last night involving taking a shark (instead of a plane) to a pirate island near Manhattan. I can’t remember the details, but it was one of the stranger ones.
And now, this night, a dream involving a dreadfully inaccurate map of britain (wales extended deep into cornwall and yorkshire bordered on wales.)
129- Oh dear. That sounds frightening.
I’m sorry, it just does.
Perhaps it was in an alternate dimension, but i remember thinking what a dreadful map it was. I only remembered that detail vaguely around 8:50 when i saw a map of scotland.
I had a muse blog dream! Robert told me that I was kicked off a thread because I was to boring.
*gasp* Nightmare alert!
That would never happen. I, however, was once kicked out of a chatroom for being too boring.
Say what? Boring? You?
YOu never run out of strange stories!
Some reccurant dreams:
i was trapped in a deserted and dark swimming pool-room similar to the snipville rec center pool, and the pool-edge kept crumbling into the pool. In the pool, a load of random sharks appear. They swim slowly around the pool, waving their tails to the tempo of an odd, slow music playing in the background.
I am preparing to walk home from school when a load of soldiers in revolutionary war uniforms storm the coatracks and stuff me into a sack. A random boot shows up. I somehow know it is a wish-granting boot, made by merlin of the leather of a dragon, and wish to be out of the sack. The sack crumbles away, i hit the floor, and wake up, having just fallen out of bed.
I am in a large victorian mansion and some person is throwing badly made pottery at me. I jump down a 20-foot staircase to escape the pottery-thrower and amazingly doesn’t even get bruised.
133–You, boring? Not our Robert! Clearly the others ahd no concept of what the word “boring” meant. They were probably just jealous of your intelligence and witty thought.
Last night, I had a really strange dream with many pieces that doesn’t fit together. I was in science class, and I had dream in a dream about fire, and then there really was a fire. So everyone was running out of the class, except for a few people. I was staring at the guy sitting next to me(he actually sits next t me in science class in real life) make a chart of everyone in the student council(not that he was even in the student council anyways) and his friends. The strange thing was that he was listing things on the box of some toy truck… ?
Then, suddenly, I was in some strange ship. The word Mayan keeps coming to me. I was throwing green beans into the grass (the ship was in a field) and somehow, I keep missing.
There was a bit about the guy in my science class pushing me off the stairs and I didn’t get hurt.
After that I was in a room with strange creatures looking like spiders but made from toy wood blocks.
Then finally, I was back in the science class. There was someone called Giovanni (he seemed to be in the student council) reading an announcement about a scorched list of people. Everyone was safely inside the class. And then the guy sitting next to me said something, hugged me, and gave me the toy truck he had (which was not burned)… ?
133- I can very well imagine that happening with non-Musers. I assure you that on here all your posts are interesting to us.
I had a dream where there was a pool. I read a sign and found out I would die if I went into the pool. I swam in it anyway, and when I came out I was a ghost. But I was a ghost version of Sara Crewe from A Little Princess. I forgot the rest of the dream, sorry.
I had a very odd dream last night. I dreamt that my friend Brianna was telling me to burn a CD of all these songs that I had never heard before. I really didn’t feel like doing it, but she sounded so upset that I did it anyways. I sat down at my computer and turned it on, and then there was this really loud voice that said, “ACESS DENIED.” So I shut off the computer and tried again. Then the voice came again, even louder. I turned around and looked around the compter room, but no one was there. Then the voice said, “SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT. I’M THE COMPUTER. STOP FREAKING OUT.” And I said, “But I wasn’t talking.” And then the computer said, ‘YES YOU WERE. STOP MAKING THIS UP. I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!” And I said, “Okay, okay. Fine. BE that way.” Then I was in my classroom and my teacher was teaching us how to inhale helium. Then we all floated up into the sky. But it wasn’t very peaceful because there were all these fighter jets that kept bumping into us.
I had a dream last night that was quite strange indeed:
I was staying at a bed-and-breakfast by myself, and I went downstairs and encountered this old lady who tried to stuff me into a box. Apparently she was a witch/vampire-type thing and I had to go in the box and become a vampire-type thing or she would get kicked off of the committee. The lid of the box was on hinges so I turned into a bat and slipped through the crack between the doorframe and the door. When the old woman saw me, she opened the window and I flew out into the darkness.
Then my dream skipped to me walking down the cobbled streets at night and the word bicycle kept floating through my head.
I can’t remember any more. Aren’t you glad?
I dreamed last night that I was scuba diving in this area that was sort of like an underwater auditorium. And there were all these tropical fish around, including some that looked like Nemo.
I have many…well, let’s just say disturbing dreams involving Project Runway and dog costumes.
4 DAYS TILL I HEAR FROM LAKESIDE!
STRANGE DREAM! I was, for some odd reason, at school for this class picnic thing (at 8:00 pm, strangely). I was standing in the schoolyard, which was covered in perhaps 3 feet of snow. I started walking to where the picnic was going to be, but the distance from where i stood to the picnic was insanely long. Somewhere on the journey, the entire enterprise shifted- instead of a school picnic, i was now in some fantasyish world with an evil empire/rebel army/the works. I was trying to get to the rebel camp. When i arrived, there was a dreamshift back to the school picnic- the rebels were playing kickball. Then, some soldiers attacked, and it was fantasyish again. I then realized that this entire enterprise was part of a book i had been reading on a very long car trip to an unspecified destination. The book had a very long, forgotten title and was tattered in the extreme. Has anyone ever had a dream in which you were a person then became someone else, watching the first person?
I had a dream where I watched my self run down a hall.
Last night I had a dream I was trying to climb a steep sand dune, but the sand was blowing and I fell down, so I was crawling and trying not to let the sand cover me.
Just when I thought I couldn’t go any farther, I came upon a tiled path that led to a complex with lots of jungle plants growing in it. There was a really nice couple inside who cleaned me up and showed me around. They owned a pretty impressive collection of paintings that they kept displayed in a circular room with a hole in the center going straight down to the next floor. No safety railing around it or anything. Somewhat unsafe, but I guess they didn’t have visitors a lot.
They wanted me to stay with them, but I had to get home, so I left my friends and then woke up.
144- Yes. It was very strange looking at myself float around.
Did I tell my dream about the bird pastries and Umbrella telephone pole/Henry?
147-No, I don’t think so.
Last night I had a “nested” dream with many layers involving repeatedly waking up alternatively at Space Academy and my house.
Awesome!
I had a scary dream last night.
Hibiscus, tangerine, and I wanted to climb a mountain to get a glowing thing at the top. But to reach the mountain, we had to swim across a swimming pool full of creepy-looking deep-sea type fish. But the worst thing in the pool was a giant brittle star, with a round body at the bottom of the pool and long thin tentacles waving everywhere. So we had to swim across without being bitten by the scary fish or grabbed by the tentacles.
Hibiscus and tangerine made it without a problem, but one of the brittle star’s tentacles grabbed me by the waist and pulled me down. I saw some weird fish, and just as I was about to drown, I grabbed the edge of the pool’s gutter and pulled myself out.
Once we were all at the base of the mountain, Hibiscus started pulling fish out of the pool and insisting we keep them as pets. tangerine didn’t want to, and they started arguing. I said we should put the fish back and climb the mountain, when the glowing thing appeared right beside us. It was a big glowing box, and tangerine said it was a time machine, and then I woke up.
149- Freaky.
Do not laugh, this is really, truly what I dreamed…
I was working for Stephen Colbert as some sort of assistant person. I had something made of blue foam that didn’t really have a shape on my desk.
Somebody in charge of a living history museum wanted to be on the show or something, so I had to go visit them. There was practically an entire town at the museum, including a stream with two bridges over it and a mill with a working waterwheel. Next to the waterwheel, there was a sign that said something like “Drink but don’t fall in.”
There were some school kids there at the same time I was, in about second grade. The guy led us all around. I asked him how he built everything himself, without any help. He told me he had his ways, but they were secret.
It got dark, so I went on a bus to go back with the kids. The museum guy was driving. For some reason, I decided to hold my breath. At that moment, the museum guy flicked a switch that sent gas into the compartment where I was, with the school kids.
All the kids were acting all hypnotized and walked off the bus. I followed, trying not to be seen. The museum guy made them do all this heavy lifting work. I discovered that by clapping my hands really loudly behind a child’s head, I could free their mind from the gas, so I ran around saving kids until I woke up.
150- that is… strange.
I had a wonderful dream about eating noodles. I woke up feeling wonderful, though I didn’t remember anything except for eating the noodles. That was strange, and I don’t love noodles anyways.
I had a really scary dream Friday night. Don’t laugh. It really was scary.
It was one of those dreams when you’re dressed really embarrassingly but don’t notice it until you’re in public. I can’t remember exactly how I was dressed, but I had a towel wrapped around my head because I had showered that morning and was in such a hurry that I forgot to hang my towel up. Or something. So anyway, it was a really long dream, but at the really scary point I was going to school. Walking… which is really odd, because I live an hour away from my school. Everyone else had been on the three-day class trip to DC, which actually did happen on Wednesday through Friday of last week, and I didn’t go on it for verrrrry complicated reasons.
I can’t remember the next part too clearly, but I think I might have gone into school (which didn’t look like it normally does), tried to find my classes, and been informed of two things: the way I was dressed, and that the classes for returning 8th graders were to be in the high school that day. That was probably the weirdest thing in the entire dream, because the middle school and high school classes are all in the same building, and use most of the same rooms. At that point in the dream I think I was in a pretty good replica of my school, but then I walked out the door and there was a giant, scary high school outside.
I went in and managed to find my locker. The halls were eerily empty. I asked the woman in the office where the art room was, but her directions were really garbled, and I got lost. I kept asking people where i was, but no one could tell me. Then I looked at a clock. It said 10:00, and I figured I was really late for Latin. So I tried to get back to my locker and get my Latin stuff. I didn’t know if there was a quiz, and I wanted to ask someone, but there was still no one around. And I couldn’t find my locker. So I ended up missing Latin, too.
At some point during those two classes, I ended up in the science classroom watching my evil teacher drill boring facts into my friends’ minds. The only person I remember clearly as being there is Albert, which is even odder because he’s in Australia and didn’t go on the trip either. Then Mrs. Stewart turned around and found me and yelled at me. I tried to explain that I couldn’t find my class, but she kicked me out.
After Latin, I decided I’d better just give up on trying to find anything. I explored the weird school, which was actually kind of cool in some places, but disturbing. My cat was there… anyway, then I ended up in some kind of shop downstairs. My friend Terry was there. She was the only person my age who’d talked to me all day. Then she had to go or something… the end is kind of fuzzy. I woke up in the shop.
I don’t really remember what I dreamed about last night. Something about a big, Victorian greenhouse, and swimming across a flooded canyon filled with prehistoric sea monsters and somebody singing a disrespectful song.
I dreamed Jim Carrey went to Hogwarts (I watched The Chamber of Secrets and the Truman Show yesterday). He was doing what he usually does, driving cars around in circles and escaping from mad lunatics.
Although, in a way he is a lunatic.
My teacher didn’t know who Jim Carrey is.
Huge surprise.
I had a dream that I was in a department store with Luna the Lovely. Except I don’t know what she looks like in real life, so she looked like her bird avatar. And I was looking at a dress on a really tall shelf and it was black velvet with blue polka dots. Then I went through a maze that appeared in the middle of the store.
I am very strange.
My dreams are strange too, especially when MBers are involved… In one, I was going to kokonvene with a MBer, but en had commited suicide. I was pretending to be sad, but actually I was mad at en for dying. (???)
In another, I wanted to meet Armada and I was running through an art museum in Italy that I’d visited last easter, except that all the paintings and busts showed smilies. Armada was leaving, and I finally found the right museam wing but there was a river next to the museam and she’d already sailed away on the Sea Hawk. (???) I need to stop blogging before I go to bed.
But my French teacher stayed out of my dreams… for a while, I had really scary ones where she kept morphing into Darth Vader and saying that she didn’t like Tuesdays, which I had invented for some reason.
Yes, my dreams are weird.
I’d say so.
I had two dreams last night. In the first one, I was back at Space Academy, standing under the giant moon rocket in the museum, and it was night time, and I was all alone. There was a voice that said something like “The good old days, when my hair was blond.”, and then I woke up.
So I fell back asleep and dreamed I was at the Capitol building and trying to find a piece of artwork on display, but everybody gave me bad directions. I ended up in this office where there was a dish on a table with these smooth quartz rocks in it. There was a sign that said something like “Rub these on the table”. So I did, and the rock in my hand turned into yellow sulfur and then everything stunk. (Yes, geologically impossible, I know.)
I had a dream a couple days ago where I went to the movies to watch Monsters vs. Aliens with my brother. Note: I haven’t seen the movie. I went somewhere above the theater and started looking through this arts and crafts stuff in a room. My brother came up, and I went back down to the theater. Then, I was warped to a rocky/sandy beach somewhere and I saw an opening in the rocks. I crawled through and saw a tiny door. Somehow I knew this was a Kokonspiracy hideout. I heard someone coming toward the opening and I crawled through the door and into this tiny cramped space with a slanted ceiling. Note: it resembled the attic crawlspace in my house quite closely, down to the little latch that locks the door. I had been in the attic the day before. I tried to lock the door behind me, but the woman I heard coming saw the open door pulled it open. She was not a Kokonspiracy member. THEN, I saw these huge jet-black cobras hissing in the opening to the cave. I yelled and they started attacking the woman. I tried to pull the door shut, but it fell of its hinges (?). My two cats were suddenly inside the hideout. I crawled out of the hideout and beat up all the snakes. I then smelt fire and smoke and thought more cobras/evil things were going to burn my brother. I saw a nasty looking red spider crawl away, then I was warped to my house where some evil monsters were. I had these thin curved swords on my elbows and knees, like in Pendragon, and I fought the monsters with them.
A couple days before that, I had a dream where I was on my grandfather’s boat and we were going somewhere. Note: he’s in the coast guard, and I had been wearing a coast guard sweatshirt that day. I fell in the water a couple times. We drove to a cliff where we docked at a platform. I went into a building and into a small white room. I opened the door to go back out and found I had been teleported to another room nearby. I walked out and saw a TV with people on a soap opera dressed like Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird. I went back to the boat, fell in the water again, and jumped up high in the air and hovered there. I saw some huge dolphins, and one of them jumped on the boat.
Last night, I had a really strange dream that I was in a museum like the one at Space Academy, except the rocket hanging from the ceiling was an Ares I and not a Saturn V, and the rocket happened to be painted blue.
I had the STRANGEST dream last night. Something involving the Magic Tree House, an assassin on an ocean liner, Mars, roller coasters, sailing ships and me dodging bullets.
159 – Sounds interesting.
In my dream last night, I was camping on the beach with a group of families that I know from preschool. All of us kids were sharing a tent, and it was rather crowded. Then in a strange transition typical of dreams I was at my high school with a seraph who I apparently knew well, and we flew around the high school a few times before she had to leave. When she had to leave, I didn’t think I’d see her ever again and I was very sad. Then I realized I didn’t know where my backpack was and so I ran around looking for it with the assistance of my English teacher, and then once I found it in my World History classroom I ran around the back of the school, which had turned into the planetarium, to the camp I’m volunteering at next week.
On the scale of Relative Strangeness of Tesseract’s Dreams, I’d put it at about an eight. The one I described in post 25 was maybe an eight as well, and post 128 was a six.
I dreamed last night that I was a demigod child of Poseidon, and all of my classmates and I were on this huge cruise ship that I could control, and then we accidentally sailed into a volcano and then Hephaestus got really mad and then all the Greek gods started taking sides for and against us. And the Muses ended up being against us, which depressed me ’cause they’re cool, but then I started hearing everything that was happening in my dream in lyrical poetry. But I can’t remember any of the poetry now. Which is sad.
I have the weirdest dreams.
Obsessed much?
One of my recent dreams involved rafting on a cardboard tray with all my books, then jumped to running along a misty pier, until I figured out that the water was missing and suddenly realized that I was somewhere else entirely, got interrogated by some elves in Matrix costumes who thought I’d murdered someone… I woke up after that. My dreams are weird. But at least my french teacher stays away now.
I once dreamed that my entire neck disappeared except for the windpipe, spinal cord, and vertebrae, and I died of spinal cord injury.
In one dream, I was at an Arts camp, and my group was walking up on the stage. I said to myself “I hope this is a dream”, and then I floated up into the skylights.
In a different dream, I was from Camp Half-Blood, with a group of other demigods. We came to a cave, and in it, a nerdy looking dude appeared. We attacked him, because he had apparently written comic books, and the villians came alive. He surrendered, and then he suddenly burst out laughing. He said “I have more! You will never escape! Mwhahaha!” then, comic book-y superheroes came down from the sky, and attacked us. We beat them, and ran across the bridge. On it, we encountered Dionysus, who turned out to be my math teacher. She (Yes, I know Dionysus is a man) made a magical grape-jelly portal. We jumped through it, and we landed back at Camp Half-Blood, where there was a windmill with lights on it like a faris wheel. I went in, and there was a girl standing there, and she was a daughter of Dionysus. I talked to her, and then woke up.
I have htis weird kindof reoccuring type dream that I’m walking down a hallway or up stairs or whatever, and nomatter what I do I always get back to the beginning but never get to the end. The colors are always gloomy, too…
I’m sure it has some deep meaning, but I have no idea what it is.
I had a dream I was captured by a crazy cat lady who locked me in her house and I escaped in a very awesome way and proceeded to run from her and cower behind obstacles and run away. I got onto a boat, but she got a way-better-than-real-life satellite picture that showed me on the deck and got back on my trail. I did manage to get away in the end.
My dream was rather strange. First thing I remember from it, I was Kari, from Terraformed, and I was trapped in some sort of storeroom/pit. There were people above me, trying to get me out, but I was the only one actually inside. One of them said “Break your leg by stomping really hard on the floor” and my mind was like “no way, ouch” but then I decided that Kari would do it if it got her out, so I stomped kind of half-heartedly and then my dream skipped ahead to me/Kari dangling from the ceiling, and the rest of the people were in the storeroom and we were free. So I came down from the ceiling, and discovered that my leg only felt mildly sore. Some other people walked into the room: two grownups and a small child or three, and we all decided to walk back to the kayak symposium together.
In real life, this event takes three or four hours to reach by car, but in my dream, while its location remained the same, we reached it by walking over the hill. I had stopped being Kari, but I still had a broken leg, and when I looked at it, my knee looked kind of bruised but the rest of my leg was intact. “Weird” I thought and went on with my dream.
At the kayak symposium I met S—, a a girl I know; Jack Aubrey; Stephen Maturin; and all the sailors who follow Jack around throughout the books: Bonden, Pullings, Babbington, etc. This wasn’t weird at all, even when the event switched places so we were now in the parking lot where a local restaurant does barbecues. Instead of ships, everyone had large black cars, and there were some people who didn’t like Jack Aubrey and wrote insults on his car in fluorescent orange paint pen. I also learned that the entire crew of the HMS Surprise-in-car-form had handy books, which they carried everywhere with them, and which held all sorts of useful information and served as a diary. They were all large and black and looked exactly the same, and Jack also carried down a laminated sheet of paper with his orders on it. It was all very impractical, but it was the way things worked.
I was either a midshipman or Stephen at that point, and we were having dinner in another car when some people invaded. We fled (being on land, there wasn’t much we could do) only everyone forgot their books. And Jack’s orders were lying underneath his book and the people were searching the table. And I knew that they mustn’t get their hands on his orders, so I said “Can I get my book?” and they sort of waved me off irritably and said “sure” or something to that effect, so I took Jack’s book and his orders and ran off. I went back to our headquarters (the strangest thing about the dream is that it takes place almost entirely in my hometown), where Jack was being depressed, and I gave him the orders, because he was thinking about giving up naval life and becoming a general, and we all went back to the HMS Surprise-in-ship-form and sailed off into the sunset.
Well, actually, my dream didn’t have that sort of closure. It ended with me giving Jack Aubrey his orders and him going off to write to Sophie, but I assume we all sailed off in the HMS Surprise at some point.
And I woke up feeling ridiculously pleased with myself for having rescued the dispatches and dreadfully confused as to my broken leg and why it wasn’t broken.
I have nightmares more often than dreams.
The nightmare last night:
My mom, brother and I were in an old house. We were up in the attic. I was going down a really dark pair of stairs, and I saw a cockroach-like bug as long as my forearm. I left it alone, but my mom whacked it with someone’s shoe some time later. Then my mom, my brother and I were in a cramped attic room. We were there for a while, seated around a card table, a sofa on on side, book shelves on the other, not looking toward the book shelves. We soon saw, when we looked over there, that there were orange bodied spiders as big as my hand with way too many legs. And then I woke up. It was one of those nightmares when you know it’s a dream, but you can’t tear yourself out of it, and it seems really scary.
Other nightmares:
I’m being chased down the stairs in my old house by a stick man (made out of Popsicle sticks) and I’m stuck on the landing, running in place. I wake up just before the stick man gets me.
I’m on the side of the highway, and someone picks me up. They try to bring me home, but I end up at the nursery school I used to go to. It’s filled with dinosaurs as tall as the ceiling, so I climb up into the loft. The dream stops there.
(I had the two above when I was younger.)
And there are lots of others. I really hate nightmares.
I JUST HAD THE WEIRDEST TWO DREAMS EVER. My first dream was that I was watching a movie about people at the beach being eaten by a huge blob disguised as the ocean. Then it turned out to be a scene in POA, and it zoomed out and showed Hogwarts, which was really a bunch of tree houses Draco was talking to Harry, and his accent kept switching from British to American. My second dream was that I was at a Kokonvention, and there was a big FMP there. Robert was also there, and he was deciding which pieces of mail would go into it. I recently wrote a letter to Muse (this part is actually true), so I was hoping and praying that Robert wouldn’t throw it in. I AM NOT MAKING ANY OF THIS UP!
Gnomes, “tree houses Draco” should be “tree houses. Draco”.
I think I had another dream about MB last night. I can’t remember much about it, but I remember there being a lot of responses to my (real-life) post on Name That Song. The whole Recent Comments bar was filled with replies. Alas, it didn’t come true.
I don’t remember enough of my dreams. Everyone always seems to be talking about some dream they just had, while I forget my dreams before I wake up. Perhaps I need more zinc in my diet. I think I read somewhere that zinc may help people recall their dreams.
I had a dream that I was discussing AVPM with Luna. It was a very interesting conversation, too, and then I woke up to my alarm clock playing “Voldemort Is Going Down.”
I had a dream recently (definitely set off by the fact that someone in my school has a Zack Efron totebag) that our school was raffling of (You guessed it-) ZEfron Totebags. And I really wanted one, because of AVPM.
I’m trying to remember more.
I had a dream. Not to recent, but I still remember.I was some how was turned into a giant, and some agents were trying to catch me.I was in my backyard hiding in my pool(don’t have one for real) while they were interviewing my mom to find out were I was.Thats when I noticed I was breathing.Suddenly everything faded to black. I could only see black.I felt the bed under me, but I couldn’t move.I tryed so hard that I finally woke up.Me moving didn’t wake me, it was the burning pain in my head.I fell to my knees holding my head screaming till my parents came.
True story.I’ve noticed I could breath under water a few times after this, but I still stayed dreaming even though I knew I was asleep.
Tell me If this happened to any one else, or if they found out you were dreaming while you slept.
Has anyone ever had a dream, woke up, and then found out that it was real? I did; when I woke up, my mom was like, “Are you okay? You were acting weird last night…”
“THAT WAS REAL!?”
For some reason I thought that if she left her bedroom, it would save the world….
I had a dream a few weeks ago that had something to do with HP and Furuba. It had to do with ziplines and Wormtail. Harry had to zipline onto Wormtail to get rid of him or stab him or something, but he had like three tries and failed. I (which means my fan character, who basically looks like me, but prettier; her name’s Zinc and yes she’s a sorceress) started yelling at him. Yuki regularly called in with info and I yelled at him one time. Then I yelled at Wormtail and went with Lupin to find James and Lily’s bodies. Then Yuki called again and my mother came in to wake me up. I was half aware of this, so I said, “Listen, Yuki, I’ll call you later. Bye.” My mother wondered who Yuki is. XD
I have yet to dream about DN…
Really? I dreamed about it a ton during my addiction phase. XD
Yeah, I have, sort of. But i think my “real” dreams were more me sleep walking and just being more conscious at the time than you are techincally supposed to be when sleep walking.
There was the time I dreamt that I was cold so I pulled a t-shirt out of my dresser by my bed and pulled it on over my long sleeve PJ top (which makes no sense, mind you), and when I woke up the next morning, I had a moment of total confusion as I was like, wait, that was REAL??????
Once on a choir tour in Canada, I was sharing a room with three other girls. I dreamt during the night that i got up and was looking for osmething, and for whatever reason, this involved digging thorugh the other girls’ stuff to find it. Next morning, a couple of the girls were extraordinarly confused, as they found some of their things in each other’s suitcases. Needless to say, I remained silent, but realized I’d not dreamt it, and had actually been sleep-digging through their stuff.
Then summer welcome at college, July 2008, I was spending the night in the dorms for those 2 days. The first night, I dreamt that I awoke in this strange place, on the top floor of some hotel, and I had no idea how I got there, or where I was, and I was in a total panic. I scrambled out of bed and out into the hall of the “hotel”, and then kind of woke up and realized that I wasn’t in a hotel, but had just left the dorm room I was in. It was most disconcerting, because the hallway I was seeing in the “dream” I’m quite sure iddn’t look like the real hallway, at all.
Yeah, I used to sleep walk a LOT when I was little, once my mom found me unlocking the front door getting ready to wander outside in my sleep….Whoops.
The unlocking the door thing at the end happened to me once. Well, I wasn’t unlocking the door, I think I was more bumping into it. Or trying to open it.
I died in a dream one time. I was Percy Weasley and I was one of the leaders of this rebellion thing. Anyway, we got caught, and we were killed by drowning. Everything went black, and then my dream started up again.
My favorite dream is this one: I was in a swimming lesson when I saw a narwhal go by (a narwhal is an animal that looks a bit like a manatee, live deep under the sea, and have a long tooth that looks like a unicorn horn projecting from their mouth). I follow the narwhal and somehow get to the ocean, where I have to get through this big spiderweb. I wiggle through it and continue on. I find the narwhal, and it’s tooth is infected, and it’s going to die. Now we’re inside the narwhal. By we, I mean a red lobster, a blue and yellow fish wearing a lot of makeup, and a baby white elephant covered in big pink spots. Inside the narwhal, there is a picture frame hanging up that is concealing the lungs, and heart with a lever, and a large green eye. If the eye shuts, the narwhal is dead. The blue and yellow fish pulls the lever on the heart, announcing that she’ll wind it up like she does her alarm clock, and we get a big stick and start nudging the lungs, trying to get them to work again. The eye opens up and the narwhal is saved! Hooray!!!
I had another dream where a girl accidentally took my backpack, because it looked just like her own. Surprisingly, after a lot of trouble, I got my backpack back. Usually in dreams, you’re looking for someone/something and either you can’t find it or you keep losing it, have you noticed?
I used to be able to force my eyes open (in the dream) when it got too scary and my eyes would actually open in real life and I would wake up. I don’t know if I can still do this though.
Also this sounds weird but once or twice when I had a nightmare I would jump down from my bed and while getting down I would suddenly realize I was awake. Like maybe I woke up after I got out of bed, or something…
once i had a dream that it was the middle of winter and i was sleeping with wet hair, and i got sooo cold that i put on like 3 pj pants and 2 sweaters. the next morning i was sick with a 102 degrees farenheit, and i was wearing the extra clothes, but strangly enough the night before was the middle of august and my hair was cmpletly dry.
there was only one time that my dream got so scary i woke up.
i was dreaming the i was falling face flat on the stairs and i couldnt move at all, and it was like watching myself fall slow motion, when something said in a creepy voice, your neck is gonna break sweetie, i was like oh my god, and i woke up. that was one of the scariest dreams ever, but i wonder what would happen if i didnt wake up
*cough Capitalize cough*
Anyway, last night I had a dream about MuseBlog. I dreamed that the current Random Thread pic had been vaporized, and the GAPAs added blue bars between every post. Groundhog had gotten first post on the Random thread, and she was asking for a thread about breaking up between friends called “The Sad Goodbye”. I then commented that it should be called “The Big Goodbye” in a reference to a Star Trek TNG Episode.
last night i had a dream were i was a shinigami *japanese death god* and i had to kill robert pattinson, which had hid a sacred chicken in a buddha shrine. then lelooch *from the anime code geass* started laughing really demonically, but he pulled me into his knightmare and we started killing everything and i rmember licking the blood of other people of my face, but then we saw nunally and she had blood red eyes, then we realized we had to kill her before she killed us, then me and lelooch realized the rivers were red because of us and our hands were bloody, then i woke up.
i strangely really liked that dream, plus i was wearing my halloween costume, check style, fashion,and costumes thread
…that is rather a morbid dream…. why exactly would Lelouch want to kill his sister, though? Dreams often do weird stuff like that, huh.
You were a shinigami in your Halloween costume? That’s one awesome shinigami. XD
I had a dream where all of my classmates turned into animals. This wierd guy showed up and said that to save the world, my friends and othr classmates had to be sacrificed to some god, I don’t remember his name. He seemed really surprised to see me and asked how I had escaped turning into an animal. I said that I had gotten to school late, and he told me to sacrifice my best friend(lets call her cherry) and then told me to put her into a raging fire. I took all of my friends and ran. That was all I remember, which is kind of sad, considering that this was only part of my dream.
Last night, I dreamed I went to Yellowstone with my family and we stayed at this big lodge. There were decorative metal panels on the walls in my room, and when I pushed on one, it opened up and there was a room inside.
So I got really excited and went inside the secret room, putting something in the door so it wouldn’t lock behind me. Only, the secret room turned out to be a secret ELEVATOR, and it took me down to this arcade room where these other kids were playing games, so I joined in.
I had a dream about the future… like, the exact future…. it was so creepy. I was worried I was getting a cold on Thursday night, and then after I fell asleep I dreamed that I had a stomach bug and was complaining because I wanted to go on the field trip that day. Then I woke up feeling like I had a cold, told my mom I couldn’t go to school, and about half an hour later somehow managed to get a stomach bug–one of the ones that only lasts seven hours, thank god. Apparently it was another one of those stupid cold/stomach viruses. I hate those.
Creepy. I had a dream that I had a dragon and my dragon somehow got stuck in the closet right before a parade. I also had a nightmare that a shark was attaking the wall in my bedroom and it was all red and smeared.
Nthanda the Laugher- I play so much Pokemon, I regularly have dreams about it.
OH EM GEH I THINKS MY SUBCONSCIOUS IS TELLING MY SOMETHING.
Hokay. So, I was in some kind of campground thing. A bungalow? There was a lake, pretty big, with a dock and canoes. But most of the land seemed desert/savannah-ish. With me were Justine, Bria, and Rainbow (almost typed Miranda there). So we were out exploring (?), and we came across this bungalow thing. There was one of those rabbit cages with rabbits in it. Justine and Bria went to play with them, while RAINBOW and I talked. Then this random old guy came out of the bungalow and started a conversation with Justine and Bria. He seemed nice. Then Miranda (I give up) was trying to tell me something, but I couldn’t hear, and suddenly I was back at the lake with Justine and Bria, but Miranda was gone. My uncle and aunt and cousins were there, and swimming with floaties (WTF). Then I realized I had left Miranda behind and left Justine and Bria to go find her. J&B didn’t like her that much. But I couldn’t find her.
What would it be trying to tell you?
184- *is confused*
Meh. I had a horrible dream about I kokonvention last night. Suffice to say that various MBers were grossly misrepresented and (town outside Vienna) is definitely not part of America. So there. And it ended in a quite pessimistic way (which I also hate). *feels weird* And it all started with an argument with my sister over a Terry Pratchett book…
I had a dream where I was falling off a water tower. I was transported to the top…. then it started rocking… and then I fell. I was so scared… but I woke up right before I landed. Scary, huh? To any Pokemon-movie-watchers, my sister had a dream where I turned into James (my favorite character), only my hair was orange. Then I had another dream where I was James (again) and I turned my Growlithe into a real- life dog. I am obsessed with James. Team Rocket rocks.
Has anyone else had a dream about the nature of dreams or am I the only one?
Actually, my dream on the nature of dreams was rather odd. It was about dreams in the projective plane. (We were doing projective geometry in math circle last night. I think it’s getting to me.) However, I can’t remember whether dreams were points or lines. I feel like they were lines, but then I can’t figure out what a point is. I mean, “dream at infinity” (instead of point at infinity) has quite a ring to it. I suppose, “pencil of dreams” (instead of pencil of lines) sounds pretty cool too. If this were spherical geometry, where points and lines are interchangeable, this would be so much simpler.
I just realized that that probably won’t make sense to any of you. It’s sort of a math geek thing.
A couple of night ago I dreamed that Piggy was a neophyte and Enceladus was acting like Piggy……. it was a good dream.
O.o
Really? *can’t imagine a neophyte Piggy*
How was it a good dream?
I can’t remember any of my recent dreams.
I had a dream about not being able to fall asleep last night. It was very strange.
I had a dream in a dream recently. in the first one, I was lying on the floor of my house. Then, I fell asleep. In the dream in a dream, classical music was playing, and I was running through a field of orange wheat. Then, I woke up from that dream, and then the other dream.
I had a dream that I got a cell phone….yeah i know I need to get a life. And then I woke up and I thought it was Saturday not Friday so I ALMOST went back to sleep except for my mom hollering up the stairs. Claaaasic.
Alright, the first bit of the dream I remember: I was sitting in the middle seat of an airplane, in first class, next to my boyfriend (Note: I do not have a boyfriend in real life, but in my dream, this guy was my boyfriend.). Of course, the disturbing bit of this upon awakening? Instead of it just being some random faceless guy, the guy who was sitting next to me on the plane was someone I know. He’s in my spanish class, he’s actually coming over later today as we need to work on our spanish project. It’s just vaguely unsettling that he would manifest himelf as my boyfriend in my dream. I mean, he’s nice enough, but I’m not interested in him like that, at all. Believe me, if I was, having him as my bf in my dream would have clued me in…..Okay, enough analyzation of the dream.
So, I was sitting in the middle seat (in first class), and my “boyfriend” was sitting beside me in the aisle seat. The window seat was empty. (The rows of seats we were in were on the left side of the plane, if you were wondering. So the seat to my left was empty). Anyway, I had my feet tucked up on the seat, angled toward my “boyfriend” and I was leaning toward the other seat. I noticed that the seat was so much wider in my dream, than a regular airline seat. I think this is when things “changed”, if you will, and my dream self suddenly accepted as a previously known fact that I was in first class. I commented to my boyfriend that “The seats in first class are half again as big as the regular ones! I can barely get my feet up like this, normally….”
He replied along the lines of: “I can’t manage it at all in the regular seats.”
The plane began to taxi (sorry, dreams are jumpy), and I made some rather snotty remark about, “It must be nice having enough money to be able to waste it on such things as flying first class.” (Not only were we flying first class–to the UK, by the way–but he was paying for both tickets)
The dream changed, and we were driving down the street in the city (a city which now that I think about it, looked an awful lot like downtown Anchorage. Which is so not how England looks. XD). Net thing I know, we’re in the lobby of a theatre (as in, where people perform on stage, not movie theatre). There are quite a few people, many (most, even) younger teens. Across the lobby, with a mass of people between us and him, is a man in a dress with a very blonde, curly wig and lots’n’ lots of eyeshadow and mascara and the like. Purple eyeshadow. Now, at first, I was finding this vaguely unsettling (as, to be honest, I would in real life. Guys in drag….I dunno, intellectually I don’t care, but it still makes me feel a bit uncomfortable to actually see it. *shrug*). I’m pretty sure the man was suppose to be Wendy, from Peter Pan. In my dream, I was initially quite certain that this was John Barrowman (whom I and my bf had gone there to see–oddly enough, he is currently performing in Peter Pan, although I don’t think it’s as Wendy). However, as he continued talking, I became less and less sure, as the voice didn’t sound quite right (he has a rather distinctive voice, despite not having a distinctive voice at all), and I couln’t decide if it was because it was a fake female voice, or because it wasn’t actually Barrowman. Anyway, whoever it was, he was talking about how it was really going to be him singing,even if some of the range was not going to be what we were use to hearing from him. By the time he was done talking, my discomfort at a guy in drag had dissipated, and he looked, well, like an actual woman (as opposed to a guy wearing a woman’s dress. That’s dreams, for you. XD). Then one of the kids in my dream asked the most interesting question. “Since it use to be that women were always played by men on stage, because women weren’t allowed, why does this bother people so much now?”
I don’t remember what exactly the reply was, to that. Anyway, the man (at this point, me unsure if it was Barrowman), walked across the room away from me, and sometime during this processed morphed into a black guy with dreadlocks. This guy asked us if we had all come a long way, or something, and “How many of you came all the way here just to see John Barrowman?” I raised my hand, thinking out what i was going to say, “I came all the way from the US, my boyfriend, he lives here, in Cardiff (my bf was no longer the kid I know from class, but was now a Welshman. XD from cardiff. Where Barrowman has a house, and where Torchwood is set. ), he got us tickets…..”
And right about that time, right after it was established we were about to see John Barrowman perform onstage (pretty sure as Wendy from Peter Pan), my alarm went off. *sigh* It was turning into such a very nice dream.
Anyway, best run to class, or I will be late.
Ummmmm…..for anyone who actually stuck with that whole long rambling dream, I made a mistake. In my dream JB was in Peter Pan, and I commented in my ramble that he actually is performing in Peter Pan. He’s not. The (upcoming, not current) performance I was thinking of, is actually Robin Hood, NOT Peter Pan. *wishes she was going to be in the UK* Looking at the promo photos……Holy wung buttons is he an incredibly sexy Robin Hood. *sigh* Ignore me while I go drool……
The night before last I dreamed that I pressed the button to open our garage door that actually works, but all three opened. The problem? we only have two garage doors.
I had a dream that almost made sense. Or at least, it wasn’t weird(hiding from my French teacher in the school library or playing Buble Shooter with oxlin on MuseBlog) or scary (the Earth was going to crash into the sun, and Dr Who was going to save me and my family but none else (worst nightmare ever, and no idea what made me think of it. But my school hall, my friends, the Tardis, looked just like ‘normal’, even though my room didn’t.) or completely out-of-place (Jesus appearing in the Middle Ages, as a king of England who was killed in battle. How on earth did I come up with that one?).
No, I was at my bus stop after school (a block farther from my home than normal), and I realised I had this other girl, Sophie Blank’s, schoolbag. I actually remembered how (this actually happened) I ended up with another Sophie’s jumper, and was slightly relieved when I realized it wasn’t hers, even though I dislike Sophie Blank. The name was written in pink, just like a girl who actually is on the bus has it. And she was there at the bus stop, (she isn’t in RL) and a science teacher at my school was too. For some insane reason he collected all our bags, and when he got to “mine” he called out something along the lines of “who does this belong to?” and gave it to SB. For some reason I was really upset, even though I would have had absolutely no use for her bag. Then I was back to school(it felt like I walked, but in RL that’s impossible), and I walked down a corridor towards a pile of bags and saw a couple of English teachers, including my own. I’m not sure if I got my bag or not. Then I was outside the school and back at the bus stop at the same time, and my dad was there (the first time with the car) explaining he’d come to get me because I was late. I wasn’t telling him about my bag, so I must have got it.
Last night, I had a dream about Zoo Tycoon (it’s basically what it sounds like). Okay, so I was building my zoo, and I added a bunch of exhibits, bathrooms, and a roller coaster, and then paused the game, got lots of money, then restarted playing. When I restarted laying it again, somehow, I was in the zoo with my mom and we were going around when I had to go to the bathroom. The one bathroom I had put in was too crowded, so I got a brilliant idea to put in a Family Restroom. As soon as I was finished that, I woke up. Weird huh?
LIVE THREAD, LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, last night I had a dream about the first day back from school after winter vacation. I was in orchestra and our teacher was showing us something- I forget what- so I was late and was hurrying to gym (I don’t have gym after orchestra in real life) and on the way I saw some of my friends were already in lunch (which I have after gym), but gym wasn’t over yet. I don’t remember what happned in gym, if anything did. Oh yeah! I remember in the locker room and Mrs. I was like, “You’d better have brought your locks back,” and I said, “Wait, I don’t have my lock, but I think it might be with my gym clothes in my orchestra locker.” Then, at lunch I was in the lunch line and something weird was going on…I can’t really remember what. Then, I was in orchestra again and the band was there too. And all their instruments were made out of blue plastic. My orchestra teacher was playing somebody’s blue clarinet, only I think she was playing it sideways like a flute. And in the dream I was thinking, “Wow, I didn’t know she could play band instruments too.”
Then later we were all trying to find our lockers, but it was hard because all the lights were off. Then I saw everyone was in a lighted area listening to some presentation. That didn’t go for very long, so after that I went back to looking for my locker. In one place all the lockers were blue half-lockers like in the locker room, and they had these weird shelf things underneath them. “How we never noticed these before?” everyone wondered. Then I was at a different, full sized locker, and I was putting my stuff in it, but it didn’t seem like mine. The number on it was worn off. So then I was at my kitchen table and I was looking in my planner to see if I had written down what my locker number was. My math teacher came up to me and he was helping me look, but I didn’t want him to see my planner. I went back to the locker where I’d put my stuff and I tapped the little metal plate that has the locker number on it. Instantly digital clock-looking things appeared at the top of all the lockers, and they had the locker number displayed on them. The one I was at was 190. “Whoops, mine is number 108,” I thought (it’s not, in real life), and I took all my stuff out, including a pink lei, to take it to my real locker.
I had a very weird dream last night about pixie sticks and pteranadon-people, and at one point I was on Skylab, looking at Hubble which was like six feet away and… it was weird.
Last night, I had one of my best flying dreams ever. Usually, the way that it goes is if I think a certain way and push off the floor, I can end up in the air and move by swimming or pulling myself along on objects. This time I was in a house with ceilings of all different heights and I had to keep adjusting myself. I don’t really know if I could call a flying dream “realistic”, but it seemed more detailed than the others.
I didn’t know there was a dreams thread! *glee* Last night I had an assortment of very strange dreams. First, I was baking a cake before I had to go to school…then, my mom was giving me a shot…then I was having a school dream where I had to think of verbs that began with K, because Ms. R had given us a worksheet to do while she was gone. Then I was having a weird dream where I was at a grocery store which had aisles that were mall stores – Justice, A&F….( starr’s fault ) and I was helping someone get a prince…anyway. I had fun in that dream, actually. But it was bizarre.
I had a great dream last night. It was so strange, but just wonderful. I was driving on this road, a very long road, and no one else was driving with me. I pulled over to the side of the road, because I saw a high school. The scenery all around me was incredibly bleak, it was all washed out, like someone had put down the saturation. I there was nothing around but the school, a street light with a seagull on it, a few parked cars, and a tall, lanky boy in a white tee. And then I started chatting with this really hot guy and his friend. We were near the ocean, and the whole school and everything around it ws concrete. And then the chatting changed to flirting and then he came over my house. And then it had to end. His name was Shane I think… Now that I’m typing it out, it doesn’t sound that great, but I was so happy the whole entire time. I think it was because the bleakness of everything offset the guy’s awesomeness. Strange.
I had a weird dream last night. First, my dad thought it would be a good idea to teach me how to drive. I floored it, and then hit the brake just before hitting a tree. Then, I fainted (the color was yellow, whoever asked that. Just a bit darker than the yellow comments on the ‘blog.) Then, me and my dad were toy sized, and he had the great idea to teach me how to fly an airplane. The airplane was fueled by coffee beans and, well, beans in general. The helmet was made out of coffee beans. So, anyways, we were flying, when my dad crashed the plane. I somehow grew back to normal size and put the wings back on the plane. Then, I flew the plane for the first time. When I landed, I stood up, then fainted. Again.
You should stop eating spicy food before bed.
And that has to do with it what?
I don’t like spicy food. Maybe I should stop eating chocolate before bed.
f+h: According to legend, spicy food makes you have weird dreams.
I had a great dream about band the other night and was exceedingly upset when I woke up.
Probably I was in it.
Definitely not. I’ve never dreamed about you. <== the reason why I never wake up screaming
Kidding, Sudo.
I’ve dreamed about band many times. *is a band geek/freak*
I had a horrible dream last night. *shivers* Please, everyone, don’t read Greek mythology before going to bed, OK? The results will not be pretty.
I was reading greek mythology last night before going to bed…I believe the last bit I read ws Kronos castrating his father. Gory, much?
I once had this dream that dinosaurs came back to like and were biting peoples heads off…and that was when I was 5.
Another one of my dreams I was skipping down a road and I thought I should be able to fly, and so I started to fly. Then I thought to myself, WOAH, I can control myself! Then I stepped through a door in the wall and I dont remember anything else.
One more. The drawings in Dr.Suess books. People looked like that in my dream. I took the bottom cushion of the sofa off and jumped in it. Then, I found myself upside down (or right-side up). People talked backwards and looked REALLY tall. I bought a green fish and then the dream ended.
I have had some weird dreams…O.o
When I was really little, I once had a dream were I woke up like normal, and then an ostrich came into my room and laid an egg. For some reason, I really didn’t wat it to lay an an egg and then I started screaming, and then I woke up. It was really weird.
I had a dream recently about my sort-of-friend C (we drifted apart) and her friends M. We were at least a year younger (and the same age and in the same grade, which we’re not), and we were with a couple of random guys and Peter and Susan(maybe Edmund and Lucy too) from Narnia in a place called Western America. Like North America, with the Virginia, Mexico, and somewhere else. (Yeah, they were all huge.) I saw them on a map, and Virginia was green. I knew the whole place was covered in rainforest and sparsely populated, and we were in a church hall in the middle of nowhere. We went on a bushwalk and I knew if I turned around we would see the evil detached bunny heads from the SSSSs, and as long as I didn’t, we wouldn’t be eaten. We made it back to the hall, and knelt facing the wall. I was between C and M, and it suddenly felt like I was with two very different friends of mine. Then we were sitting on some upturned tables watching Peter being knighted (the bunnies were still there). I was really annoyed to wake up.
Then there was the dream where I travelled back in time to my first day at my school, but everything went wrong. It was disturbing.
Meh, I had a nightmare last night. I had to take a two hour latin test, and I couldn’t remember a single word. The teacher yelled at me for being nice to her and said that I was just sucking up to her because I was to stupid and would never understand latin and she’d just let me pass out of mercy. I felt pathetic and ran away through alternating forest and plains. I could hear my mother’s voice: I was running to and from her. To her because I needed to tell her what had happened, and from her because I was to ashamed and because I found myself unable to speak when I caught up to her and she asked what was wrong…
That is so, so horrible.. * more*
They’ve been awful lately- all my dreams, that is. Like the one last night where my sister became a best selling author and my writing was deemed horrible…
I hate those dreams where someone you like is in it and the next time you see them everything gets awkward…yeah.
I’ve had dreams with people from school in them, and then I tell them “I dreamed about you last night!” and they’re like, “OK, um, great…” Totally awkward.
This is why you always say “You were in my dream last night!” instead of “I dreamed about you last night!” That way, it’s more flattering/intruiging than creepy.
I had a dream last night, and everything was totally, awkward.
It started out with a bunch of MuseBloggers playing playing baseball on a giant loaf of melted jellybeans, which then started oozing everywhere. Then another, team I guess I’ll call it, showed up. It was made up of three or four sub-teams, which were all made up of ogres, and stuff like that. One of the sub-teams was called the “Hail Team Alpha,” but the people on that sub-team kept calling it the “Hitler Team” for who knows what reason. Then we started having this whole war-type thing, and all the MuseBloggers turned into robots. *fightsfightsandmorefights* Then everybody got sucked down into what was left of the jellybean… thing.
The dream then morphed into a copy of my street and all the houses got eaten, yes eaten, by slimy, green foam. (You know, the type that’s in some fire-extinguishers?) Everything died, blah,blah, blah, and I woke up.
It was interesting.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Ogres?
Was I in it?
Keiffer, what a wonderfully nightmarish image: Musebloggers playing baseball on a giant loaf of melted jellybeans … which starts oozing! I’m seeing it a bit too clearly, I think. I wonder if I’ll dream of it myself sometime soon.
Sorry, I had to post it. Strangest dream I’ve had in a while.
I had a dream about Musebloggers a while ago. My dad and I were flying to South America, and when the small plane landed it was spinning and spinning, but finally it came to a halt in this small village. It starts to rain so we go under this pavilion-type thing to stay dry. I see this old lady looking for my friend K, who we think might still be at the airport where we took off from. K shows up, and so that’s all good, but then I see my grandparents’ dog. She’s scared because of the storm, but then Aggie, Tesseract, and maybe soccer starr show up and we distract the dog by playing with her. All in all, it was a nice dream, I suppose.
Maybe soccer starr? Just maybe? Well, I’m glad I was part of a nice dream, anyhow…
You know what, I think you actually were there.
208.1.1–Yeah, I’ve got a lot of strange looks from people after I tell them I dreamed of them.
209– Oh, it’s always so weird when you dream of MuseBloggers. Especially when you don’t know what they look like. The other night I dreamt I went to a Boston Kokon and Keiffer was George Harrison and SudoRandom had a mohawk. It was odd.
*imagines Sudo with a mohawk* *fals off chair laughing*
*joins Ducky in falling off chair laughing.*
*imagines and makes a threesome of falling off chair laughing*
That’s a sign. It’s saying, “Come to the Boston Kokon and awesome things will happen”.
Join Us, Join Us, Join Us! Join!
Cool! I’m George Harrison! Or a reincarnation of Jules Verne!
Jules Verne? I picture you as Catbert sometimes.
The last dream I remember having was that Ozzie Osbourne was performing in the cafeteria at DARTs (this arts summer camp), but Keiffer, SudoRandom, this kid Julian, and I got bored, so we left with Ozzie Osbourne and went rowing on this river. Then SR fell out of the boat, and Keiffer and I jumped in the water to try to save him. But when we got in the water, we decided to go swimming instead, and SR drowned. Then Julian hit himself on the head with the paddle and capsized the boat. Then I woke up.
Wow.
That’s… interesting.
Funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
Why couldn’t I have drowned?
I’m laughing right now. Especially at the idea of Julian contrasted with Ozzie, and at the thought of him hitting himself with a paddle.
Somehow, all dreams about MBers but mine are hilarious… t’was a sad dream, not a nightmare because I knew I was dreaming and no-one was yelling at me or stab me or eat me or whatever. It was very pretty however, very real and crystal clear in its meaning.
I can’t quite remember the dream I had last night, but I know it was awesome, because I didn’t want to wake up and slept in till 2 pm. I’m pretty sure there was epic battles, cannibalism, a rain forest, and a dystopia in there, along with Firebending. Too much Avatar coming back to haunt me…
There was this other dream I had a little while ago where these evil magician types that controlled snakes were taking over the world, and me, who wasn’t really me but actually somebody else, had to stop them along with my family and friends. Who weren’t actually my family and friends, but somebody else’s. By traveling to the only safe place left, which resembled a Farmville Estate that had an entire zooful of animals there. Giraffes, elephants, frogs, the works.
We had a limited number of supplies, and I had to go to the ginormous, half-empty storage room to work out a way of rationing everything and obtaining alternate food sources. (Not cannibalism. Though maybe some of the insects suggested that…)
Then I ended up leaving to do reconnaissance on my bike and found myself in an empty dress shop. That had bare cement floors and walls, a few racks of weird clothing standing in the middle of the floor, and anime posters on the walls. I’m pretty sure one of them was a Yu-Gi-Oh poster. And then the dress maker found us, and I wasn’t sure if she was a good guy or a bad guy, and there was a big fight, and she turned out to be, if not good, then neutral. During this whole thing my brother was standing off to the side. He had spiky anime hair.
Obviously my dreams are affected by what I watch. Who cares? They’re interesting.
214- I know what you mean regarding the first dream. I had a similar one and all I remember is that it somehow involved Disneyland, Mike Massimino, an army of dinosaurs and me saying “I have never been this awesome in all my life.”
What I like is right before I fall asleep, I hear things. I hear my friend’s voices talking about…stuff, random stuff like paper towels. And I hear orchestral music. It’s really unpleasant when I pull myself out of it and the music goes away.
Oh, I know what you mean. When I’m very close to fully asleep, sort of in that half way state, I’ll hear music in my mind, like real music–something that I wouldn’t be able to “imagine” in my waking thoughts…..It’s cool.
Interesting! I don’t hear music, but I do often see “photo” montages — the visual counterpart to what Princess_Magnolia describes — just as I’m about to blank out. The details are extremely high definition crisp and morph into one another at high speed.
I hear random music, too, and it isn’t a specific song/tune that I know.
I hate it when I’m half falling asleep, and drowsily thinking about whatever, and then I wonder if I’m asleep and then I wake up. Does anyone else do that?
Yes! All the time! Lucky people who hear music, see photos, etc. etc……
Yes, that’s exactly what happens! Sometimes, like LadyB, someone’s face pops into my mind, but it’s not very clear.
I tried to run in my sleep today… epic fail.
I had this dream last night. There were these two kids. One had robotic limbs and no eyes/eyelid-lashes/eyebrows, just the sockets. Oddly, his brains and blood and stuff didn’t leak out, and he could still see.
Then there was this girl, and she could make herself taller and shorter at will, and they were running away from this… place, and they had magic wands and broomsticks and the like.
It was kind of like a cross between Maximum Ride and Harry Potter.
Last night I dreamed I was some kind of psychic in this place where there were dinosaurs and ruins and these scary bad guys…
Which is what I get for reading Indiana Jones comics at 11 PM.
My dreams are so average…
Today I dreamed that I was picking out my clothes for school… I chose a dark blue shirt and grey pants.
I don’t own grey pants. I was very disappointed when I woke up. *plans to buy grey pants ASAP*
It’s odd… I’ll either have extremely mundane dreams or completely irrational ones…
For example, that dream where Dr. House had blue hair and was driving a fancy car through a waterpark… and there were fences around all the rides but people were on them anyway…?!
Last night I dreamed about MB…
I know that Lady B definitely showed up, and then SudoRandom and RoseQuartz were both definitely there. For some reason I was asking Sudo if RoseQuartz was good at math, but he wouldn’t tell me (Bad Sudo! Bad!) and then…it just ended. It was really weird though – we were going on a picnic, and other MBers were there, but I can’t remember anybody else.
*confusion*
Last night I dreamed there were these acrobats who wore bodysuits in really crazy colors and had painted hair and goggles and they were performing on a boat in a mangrove forest. And then I was at some kind of ceremony where Robert Ballard was getting a medal. I wouldn’t mind this one being prophetic.
I am scared. I have just woken up from a dream where, first I was crawling on my elbows through the streets in order to attempt to save cars from drowning. ( It was a flooded street. ) Then I was in this fabric store with Georges W. and H.W. Bush. Then, for some reason, I got on a plane – this is the really scary part – and Jen ToeTaps was trying to hypnotize everybody on the plane into drinking each others’ blood and then she was going to drink our blood!! And then crash the plane. Luckily, I figured it out, thwarted her somehow, and then pushed her off of the plane-which-turned-into-a-bus-magically-cough-JohnPaulRingoGeorge. Then she walked off, and I woke up, completely freaked out…
Also, Pseudo says she had a dream where an HPB bit off Sudo’s head, but he grabbed it by the ear and stuck it back on. So then the HPB ate Julian’s head.
I have a lot of dreams in which SR dies and Julian does stupid things…..
And then there was the part of that dream in which Keiffer and I were fighting with Jell-o swords. Then the swords fell in a volcano and dissolved.
I had another dream about meeting MuseBloggers… I dreamt that this kid at my school named Bo was actually Enceladus, and we started talking at lunch and then my friend said, “Bo sounds nothing like [insert Enceladus’ name here]!”
Then I woke up, said, “Poop. That was just a dream,” fell back asleep, and then proceeded to have my recurring dream in which I meet Paul McCartney and get his autograph, and then somehow destroy the paper on which he signed his name. This time, a popular kid ate the paper.
Do you guys have recurring dreams, ever?
My name is not the name of the muse of factoids.
I know. But his is! He should feel very special, that Bo.
I have a lot of recurring dreams. Especially this one where there’s these little video game characters that end up falling into the Grand Canyon, meet a stranded mer-person, get enrolled in the army, fight Bulgaria, and clone SudoRandom and Enceladus. It’s odd, very odd. The other thing is, I started having this dream about two years before I consciously knew Enc.
I think I’ve subconsciously always know you though, Enc. It’s like it was impossible for me not to know you.
One of my friends had a recurring dream. In them, people around him would dissolve into puddles of green slime. In the last one he had, he dissolved into a puddle of green slime.
I would be very creeped out if you knew me. I don’t know many people who read Muse, except one person who isn’t already on MB already. And another, and I know for a fact he’s not on MB. If he goes on MB, I will not be happy.
I’ve had two recurring dreams. One was when I was little, and occasionally I would dream that my family went camping in this place, and otherwise I can’t remember much. Then, when I was eight or nine, I had this… well, sort of “series” of dreams. Like, there were these people in this dark hotel, that didn’t look like a hotel. All the dreams were a bit different, but along the smae idea… the people were in this dark room and there was a bunch of weird junk in it. That lasted only about a week or so.
I’ve had this dream twice:
So, Silver Lining, Enceladus, SR, Keiffer, and I are in a newspaper factory. We start throwing blue marbles at each other. Then we drop all of the marbles into a pile of newspapers and the pile falls over. And we all run around on the newspapers and fall over. Then SR and Enceladus get in a purple station wagon and drive away, and Silver Lining, Keiffer, and I forget the lyrics to “I am the Walrus”.
Hm. The part of the dream Enc and I are in sounds deliciously awesome, and the part you and Keiffer and SL are in sounds terrifying and unrealistic.
Yeah, it was pretty scary. We couldn’t remember what came after “See how they run like pigs from a gun.”
Simply horrifying.
(Quite a late reply indeed, but I just found this and burst out laughing. Oh, Nym… )
FAST mdoeration
I had a dream last night in which Cello-Playing Mathematician said that en went to my school, so I was looking for en at school but I couldn’t find en. And then I successfully escaped from medieval soldiers by hiding out in the enemy’s camp and I don’t know what else happened.
Okay, this is freaky. I had a dream last night, where I was in the Lotus Casino. Except it was a hotel, and my family and I were smart and staying away from the flower-things. But we still couldn’t leave because we were lost. And that’s it.
Er…what’s the Lotus Casino?
It’s in Percy Jackson. Basically, you get in there and they give you these flowers to eat (lotuses). You eat em, and you’re unknowingly trapped in there. You have no sense of time: you think you’re only in there for an hour or two, but you’re in there for five days. It’s roughly based off the Island of the Lotus-Eaters from the Odyssey.
…or weeks or months or years.
… or decades or centuries or millenia.
…or eons… (<– just to break tradition. HA)
… or worse.
Ohhh, now that I saw the movie, I understand. Scary dream! Ahhhh
Ha ha. I’ve dreamed about Percy Jackson before, but nothing like that. I hope you got out ok.
I had a dream last night that there was this guy who called all monsters “Monstacors” because he couldn’t spell for beans.
A little before that, I was in some kind of lecture hall and somebody said “Well, if we can’t have Ares, let’s have Athena instead.”
This morning, I was dozing, and this dream began that was going to be a really good dream ( I could tell ), BUT then it was 6:30 and I had to wake up and I didn’t get my good dream! I was angry!! Argh.
It was going to be such a good dream, too! Stuff that I don’t get to do in real life!!
Why did I have to wake myself up at 6:30???
I had a dream that I got a kitten named Eli.
…Very deep, I know.
Eli? I dreamed I had a pleisiosaur with that name last year.
That sounds like a nice dream, actually.
KaiYves–“couldn’t spell for beans?”
Yes, as in he was really bad at spelling.
My dream last night was …interesting. I was living in a cave in the carribean until someone finished rearranging the fabric of reality, so when I got back home it looked like a friend’s house (I was six or seven). I left out I magnet with the letter M so that my parents, wherever they were in this reality, would know I’d been in. Then I ended up in Austria, in 4th grade. The classroom looked a bit grimer than I can remember, and the teacher was my current german teacher. A ‘barbie girl’ from school was also there, wearing her best friend’s jacket and looking her normal age, but I knew she was there to argue with the german teacher about his classes being to hard. My current best friend was there too, but somehow not there. Either she was a ghost or went to a different class. I looked around for anyone I knew, but even the little sister of my little sister’s frienemy had graduated (our ‘main teacher’ for the year was the same one I had back then). I tried to find out what age I was- I knew I didn’t belong in fourth grade, but perhaps I could meet my past self. Then I began to think I was nine, anyway I felt I was here to stay so I went fown to the cafeteria for lunch (the school’s layout had been jumbled with that of a school I visited for a chess competition) with the barbie girl and my best friend’s ghost. Then I was woken up. It took me five minutes to remember which grade I go to and which hair color I have (I used to be blonde). Note to self: Never eat such raw quantities of schnitzel before going to bed.
Last night, I dreamed it was raining and I was standing at a window and staring out at it. For about three hours. The dream started and ended with the same thing.
(-.- )”
I’ve had so many dreams about MuseBlog… Two about people posting on a neglected thread I frequent, One that a few of the GAPAs at my house, (I know Robert and Rebecca were there, but I don’t remember about Rosanne, and I’m almost certain Paul wasn’t.) another which a bunch of MBers were at a Kokonvention, and sitting around a picnic table. I think we might have been trying to figure out what to talk about.
Random, yes.
Showing that I’m obsessed? Of course. *sigh*
Which thread?
RRR Etheterre. Thoroughly dead. Sigh.
And yes, I have had two separate dreams about it.
I had a dream last night, where me and a bunch of other random MBers were in that library in Washington DC, and then a giant red dragon-thing started on a rampage in the room with us, and it turned out to really be my little sister. She then moprhed into a human-like form, growled at us because we were late for the meeting with the swamp-monster, and turned into a school bus with curly red hair. Them all of us MBers got inside her, mind you, don’t touch the walls, for they were intestine-lined. She then drove us to a green, slimy, moss-covered version of my house, that opened up dramatically to reveal the mouth of the swamp-monster. She then forced us to climb inside it’s mouth (she’s human-like again now), and the swamp-monster rocketed us into a nearby computer where we got regurgitated (sp?) and had a part in its hard drive.
What. The. Fudge.
Yeah. That’s what I thought when I woke up. Now I think my little sister could possibly be able to morph into a giant red dragon, and a red-haired school bus. My family is odd.
I had a dream that my cat had a twin brother who had been secretly living in our house.
(I’ve actually wondered about this from time to time…)
What’s creepy was when my dilemas leak over into my dreams. Take this for example: I’ve been worrying about whether or not I should work at this summer camp that I have worked at for the past 3 summers. Last summer was a bit rocky because I went from being a Junior Counselor to being a Conselor with no J.C.! I still had a fun summer, but I was nervous about working again.
Next thing I knew, I had 2 dreams were I was working at the camp, and then 1 dream where I was deliberating the dilema.
Okay, I officially had the creepiest dream ever last night. Well, actually, most of it was okay. Only this one part was creepy. I was in my room, and I had a new HPB DS game. My DS was on my bed and was plugged into the wall charger. I had just inserted the game card, and then a pink laser beam starts shooting out of the DS, and the n out of the charger. I actually felt mildly creeped out within my dream by that point. Then, I went down the stairs, and there was a giant HPB there. There was another laserbeam going across the staircase, and it was somehow picking up the beam and moving it around in a similar way to drawing a curved line in Paint. It said it was keeping me trapped up here, because I couldn’t cross the laserbeams.
I think it’s the fault of whoever has the Bunnyborg gravatar…
I believe that would be AM’s younger brother, Beetles.
I had a dream that I was in a submarine last night. (No, it wasn’t yellow) It was very large inside, and brightly painted, with nice furniture, and it was going around in a lake behind a generic summer camp.
I had a dream where I was in the school hallway; it was nearly empty, and a few people were at their lockers…this boy with a locker about fifteen lockers away from me was talking to me and he said, “I would be happy if I had seven locks…” What do seven locks symbolize?
Well. That was definitely one of the
strangest dreams I’ve ever had. I’ve already lost my sense of the order in which everything happened, but here’s what I’ve got asnearly as I can remember:
-I ran into this freshman in band at some restaurant, and she was sitting in the booth behind me. The booths were shaped really weirdly, kind of like a sine wave with every curve as a booth. I said hi to her, but I pronounced her name the weird British-y-but-not-really that my friend and I do. Inside joke.
-Then for some reason I was at this enormous indoor pool with… I believe my aunt, but I’m not sure. I was in the women’s pool–for some reason this pool has gender segregated rooms–and I couldn’t find my friend D (who I have mentioned on MB many a time). Someone said “Oh, look in the coed room, she’s probably with Eugene.” (Eugene is the alter-ego of another guy in band. Long story.) So I swam to the wall and opened a large trap door that resembled a white piece of wood installed over a hole in the wall, then went out into the coed room. I think I interacted with D and Eugene for a little while before the dream changed again.
-Now I was at an outdoor pool, and there was a lot of snow on the ground. It was nighttime. I was apparently here with my aunt and uncle, only they weren’t actually my aunt and uncle. Dream people, I suppose. Anyway, I got out of the pool to towel off because it was time to go, and headed into the pool building. I ended up wandering through the building, looking for a painting made by my dead parents, because apparently thus building was also an art gallery and apparently my parents were dead (!?) and had been since I was four, which was twelve years in this dream even though I’m just fifteen. I believe I explained this to someone during this section of the dream. Also, I was shocked that it had been so long already.
-Then, still at the pool, I ran into a slim, pale, freckly blond girl who looked to be about twelve. She said I’d gone to “MGT” with her a fee tears ago. I suspect MGT is my brain’s attempt at [name of semi-local college] where I did attend a music program a few summers ago. Anyway, now I was thrilled to see this girl because I did remember her after all, despite not remembering her at all previously. Her name was Claire. We walked around talking and another friend of ours, who was apparently Claire’s next-door neighbor, showed up. We hung out for a while and then they both left down a dusty dirt road. By the way, for some reason now it’s daytime.
Accidentally submitted that post before I was done.
-Then (and this is the really weird bit) I was in some sort of medieval scenario with a lion. The lion could time-travel and had already taken me all over the place. I can’t remember anything specific besides a great deal of trouble at some feast. Also, now I was a guy, and a prince. I was married to someone who resembled the “Claire” from the first part of my dream, but a lot older. The lion was talking about how there was a lot of trouble. It seems I’d been the court jester, which was a position that disguised the fact that the person’s primary purpose was to work small magics, before I went on my adventure with the lion and came back as, somehow, the king’s son. The new court jester/magician talked about how he loved the lion and wanted to go have an adventure of his own, but the lion became furious and told him that if he did so, he would return not just as the king’s second son but as the king’s son under the shadow of a deceased elder brother (me). Somehow, if he went on this journey through time and space, it would lead to my undoing.
That’s when I woke up.
Last night I dreamed that I was in school in my science teacher’s class, where he was giving a test about the Wright brothers. Then a girl came in riding a giant crayon (or was it a dinosaur?). In English class, Ms. R. (evil English teacher)’s husband came in to teach our class, and he threw dirt at us. (Compared to many of my other dreams, that one’s rather boring.)
This is one of the two dreams I have ever had that I can remember in full.
When the dream began, the main character was of the main characters from the book The City of Ember, Doon Harrow. (I think that this was because I had just had to read that book for English class.) He had decided that he was dissatisfied with the underground city that he lived in, and someone told him about a utopian city that could only be accessed via an elevator which took its occupants to random other universes, and was conveniently located in Ember. He and the other main character from The City of Ember entered the elevator in the hopes of finding this utopia. The elevator first took them to a bookstore. At this point, the main character changed into me. We met the bookstore owner and his family, who decided to join us in the elevator. As the elevator stopped in more and more universes, more people entered, and the elevator grew to accommodate them. One of them was a teenager, who sat, eating pizza in the corner. For some reason this was a very bad thing, and I told him to stop, but he just laughed at me. One of the people who had come into the elevator had a sandwich, and it developed an infection which made it look as though it was wrapped in shadow-like gauze. Then, the sandwich owner’s shadow became wrapped in the gauze. He began to turn into an evil shadow being, and the infection spread to other people in the elevator. I asked the teenager again to stop eating pizza, but again, he just laughed. The elevator’s residents who had not become evil shadow beings had a meeting. Among our leaders were me, the bookstore owner, and (for some reason), a girl from my school. The girl reported that one of the shadow beings had attacked and bit her. The elevator had by now expanded to two rooms, separated by a curtain. I decided to inspect the other room, but on my way there, I was attacked by a shadow being. She bit my shirt, and I broke free and ran toward the new room. At this point, I woke.
I had a dream last night in which I was at school and was informed that three people wanted to be my boyfriend. (?) + (lol)
*starts cracking up*
*also starts laughing* I guess the emoticons didn’t work. It should be + Yay!
Weird dream story contest topper:
So, for no reason, I’m walking through some kind of log cabin type camping place, indoors, heading to the lunch tables. I’m going to leave my math homework(?) there and get food, and then come back and do it. But I get lost getting my food, and i end up going down a tunnel like hallway that has pink and purple light strips all around. It eventually leads to a huge game room/arcade type place. I am searching for an exit. I find one, and I am running, and suddenly I am running along my street, racing my friends Aidan, Anthony, and Jordyn to the end. (The whole change felt normal, like that would just happen in real life.) I was whooping them, which is impossible, and I get to the end of my street, and suddenly I’m in some kind of black transformer thingy (like LEGO Exo-Force if you know what that is) and there was a river with a footbridge over it at the end of the street (which there shouldn’t be) and instead of running on it, I just jumped really really high and I felt like I was falling and I finally landed and then I turned around and I was in some kind of school, but there were roads for the hallways, and there were cars on it, but they were all really small. I took up the height to the ceiling, and i start running along the hallway, and i get the feeling that the world is in impending danger of destruction. I am confronted by someone i’ve never met before but he feels like an old friend who went evil and he chases me but I lose him past a girl at a locker. everyone is still in the transformer type things (the guy who’s chasing me has a purple and lime green one). then i duck into a room. this is the scary part. nobody is in a huge suit anymore, but a whole bunch of people I know are there. My friends Drew, Amanda, and Hunter from school are there, my friend Corey from church is there, and Mike from musical is there. there was a large green rectangle on the wall with random words scattered all over it. the words unlock a vault that contains a golden liquid that if the right person drinks, will make that person invincible and save the world from certain doom. so a random, i think it was a water buffalo, started singing the words trying to unlock the secret. a Zebra looked at it like it was drunk or something. then Mike turned on the radio and someone started getting angry at him, but then it started playing a hard rock song with a female singer, which was suppopsed to unlock the vault. it did and various people tried to drink the liquid. My friends Drew and Amanda tried but nothing happened. but then some random anime guy with spiky blue hair and a sword for an arm comes up drinks it, starts glowing, and storms out the door to beat up the bad guys. then I woke up.
In my most recent dream, I was walking through my school and I went to the library (which looked rather different). I was looking around and saw The Idiot’s Guide to Hypnosis sitting on a shelf. I remember thinking, “Ooh – I always wanted to read that!” I picked it up and went over to a couch to read. Then a hypnotist appeared (I’m not sure if he came out of the book or what) and hypnotized me with a blue yo-yo. I remember the hypnotist talking to some people who were watching and waving some cards in front of my face (weird) and then he snapped me out of my trance. Then I woke up.
It’s so nice that you can actually remember your dreams. I’d love to have a dream like that.
in my dreams i’m always either in love or dying a slow and painful death. No real middle ground….
Anyway, I find it interesting that whenever a dream occurs in a book, it always is important to either the plot, the characters or the overall themes and messages of the book. Which makes sense, I mean, dreams take up a lot of space, time and energy, and why would you put one in a book unneccesarily? But dreams in real life, at least my dreams, have almost nothing to do with my life. Yes the dying dreams play off my fears, the stressful dreams play off my life a bit and the love dreams play off my hopes (yes, I have hopes other than to fall in love–I’m not THAT sappy), but other than that dreams have nothing to do with my life.
I tried to purposefully write meaningless dreams in some of my early Stephanie Stone stories, but my dad then wrote notes in the margins saying that they just seemed really weird. That’s because he says he doesn’t remember his dreams.
But don’t those things have everything to do with your life?
I notice that too! Like…it’s not like that in real life. Well, I don’t know. Last night I had a dream that I broke into a PetSmart ( peer pressure ) and when I got in trouble, three girls I was with ran off and one stayed right behind me. One of the ones that ran came back…also, there were a lot of yellow things in the dream. What does dreaming about yellow mean?
In my most recent dream, I was in English class, and we were getting our assignments back.(I dreamed this the night after we did them in RL) I was at least as freaked out about it as I would be in real life, so I hoped Ms G wouldn’t have mine. She didn’t have mine or a couple of other people’s at first, but then we all got our assignments, which had nothing but some ticks on them. Talk about wishful thinking. Most of my dreams are weirder than that, fortunately.
First of all, I dreamed that I had received an issue of Muse, when I haven’t gotten one for the past year or so. Obviously my subconscious is trying to tell me something. Then the world became someplace where some people had dinosaur ‘bondmates’ that they hatched and raised and became BFFs with. But they were discriminated against, and so the fun happy times came to end when they were all put into this one gigantic warehouse. Truly gigantic, it fit hundreds of people and very large dinosaurs. The people there plotted rebellion and ways to mess up the people who had imprisoned them there’s plans, often by letting their dinosaurs run wild. I was suddenly a normal, no dinosaur bonded girl in this warehouse, looking ofr my parents. (Some of the bonded in there looked like people from my summer camp in real life. ) I was trapped in to a corner by a T Rex, and later by an Allosaurus. Eventually I found my mom, raising dinosaur babies. My brother had a dinosaur, an Apatosaurus, that had just hatched. I knit a blanket for them.
That’s a rough overview of the dream. It ignores the cake that I bought form my new job as a dinosaur raiser, the job apparently being a family tradition, or the kid who stayed in a cocoon and wouldn’t come out even though his mom was looking for him. Or the traditional embroidery taht dinosaur raisers had on their sleeves, or that time I was in school and buying yarn form this guy who was selling yarn there for 25 cents a skein. I had a dollar and was trying to choose which ones to buy.
What was really freaky was how I was acting exactingly as I would in real life. Admittedly I’ve never been cornered by a carnivorous dinosaur before, but if I did I’m sure I would have the exact same combination of fear and desperation trying to come up with a plan. And I’m sure I would debate endlessly with myself over which cake or yarn to buy, get fed up with myself, buy on impulse, and then suffer buyer’s remorse. I do it in real life often enough.
I had a dream that I was at EPCOT and going into The Living Seas pavilion again, except that it didn’t look anything like either it had when I visited it or how it does now after the Nemo makeover. This was a humongous, multi-layered place, with blue-tinted glass walls everywhere, and windows looking out at different oceanic environments, and lots of little side rooms and corridors and things. Maybe it was a real underwater habitat.
May we have a new thread?
I had a rather disturbing dream last night- it was very real and I found a dead body. *is freaked out* Why do my lucid dreams end up nightmares?
Tell more! Want know why! Not know why talking like this!
I was on vacation in a pretty seaside town but I was swimming at the swimming pool for some reason. It was enormous and not very crowded, but really boring and no-one got rid of the dead leaves which set in like a plague and made swimming disgusting. So I finally set out to the ocean with my parents-we were swimming along the coast to get to a resturant. The way there was nice, since the water was like in the tropics etc, but on the way back we got tired and were driven towards some rocks and had to thread our way carefully through the shallow water to aboid getting bashed against them by the waves. I was swept diagonally towards shore and then ended up treading water over a corpse. She had blond hair the same lenght as mine which billowed around her face and her skin was only tinged slightly she probably hadn’t been dead long. She looked kind of peaceful, with her arms on her chest (think egyptian mummy without the sceptre) and her mask off. For a moment, I was choking and drowning myself- ew! And it could have been me so easily (and would, if I didn’t get a grip). Seeing someone dead like that… I knew there were risks, but… I wanted to throw up, to kick and scream and run far away but I had to keep holding on to a rock slightly to the left of her head (I didn’t think of her as just a dead body, but as a person) and I was petrified of seeing her face, for fear that she would haunt me forever. I had to stay under the surface, so I was much closer than I’d like and I was also afraid of touching her. She might be clamy & disgusting or still warm, indicating that I could have done something had I been a little bit quicker. I couldn’t help her now- even if I didn’t mind touching her, I wouldn’t make it out with such a deadweight. That’s when I realized that, had I been there, I would have let her drown anyway. Ashamed, I left in the next gap I could and mom helped guide me away.
We climbed on land later, and were joined by my sister, my best friend who almost became my boyfriend and his younger brother. He (the almost boyfriend) ran ahead on a second path, but instead of racing him like I usually would have I just followed him, figuring that he had the luck of fools. We kids arrived first at my family’s house: a beautiful whitewashed cottage with colorful flowersin the window-boxes. We searched for a key, but my heart wasn’t in it since the swimming incident still haunted me.
Oooh…weird…
*shudders*
I had an extremely disturbing dream. So, there was a storm, or thereabouts, and I live by a lake. When I “woke up”, and looked out my window, everything on the closer-to-lake side of the street was gone. In its place there was a muddy delta-looking thing. On our side of the street all the cars were sunken into the hill my house is on, and the street is gone as well. Then it shifted, and I was down by the lake. It was very rocky, and I remember thinking that everything was gone.
I rarely have dreams, but when I do there like crazy. Everything is messed up and wierd in them.
Hm. The most recent dream I can remember had to do with vengeance for the death of my father, and I shot a guy’s eye out at point blank in slow motion. I think the influence was somewhere between watchmen and superman.
My brother just told me he had a dream years ago where he was an assassin sent to kill me, so he strangled me with a jump rope and dragged my body away.
Hm. My dream last night: it started out as these two princesses were being sent to live in the countryside because of war. Then somehow it turned into this group of kids flying at night time to this island covered with trees with a dormant volcano in the middle. We were about to land inside the volcano, but I suddenly remembered (from where, I have no idea) that it might explode (though it looked dormant) so instead we landed on the edge of the island. Somehow there was a beach around the edge of the bay, but inside the bay there was this small island where there were a bunch of tourists within the railings around it. So we landed at the edge, where there was a beach, sort of, and we had to pile up our pineapples so other people wouldn’t see. Don’t ask. Then we tried to swim underwater to the island but there was this weird lady who we wanted to avoid. We swam to the other side of the island and there was another lady with a newspaper who was trying to imprison us or something (that part’s not too clear) but then the father of one of the kids turned up and flew us back to the outside of the apartment where the queen (remember the princesses?) lived. She was angry because her children liked the nurse that stayed with them in the country house more than they liked her. From there was a view of a suspension bridge over a river/channel thing. Again, this was at night. Then suddenly the dream shifted to the same bridge, but at day time. These two people were fighting over whether to jump off the bridge or not. Apparently it was safe because you just peeled away this sign thing hanging on a building and somehow it would save you. Last thing I remember is looking at the suspension bridge.
OK, wow. I just typed that all up and it looks really, really weird. Ah well, what are dreams for?
I had a dream last night that sort of had a Home on the Range theme crossed with a very buoyant and bouncy fun park, which was in turn crossed with a giant, and I mean giant shoe store with a built in basketball court.
It started out in some field where these people, who were entirely yellow, made me ride a creepy white horse so I could become part of their clan. This white horse stayed with me throughout the entire dream until the very end.
Then, the dream morphed into the shoe store with the built in basketball court, and a bunch of random dudes from my school appeared. We all got free bright orange shoes, that had little bright orange hats on the tips. (Whose fault do you think that was?) Then we all played a game of basketball against the horse, who now had bright orange hooves with hats, with a flat coconut. Guess who won? The horse.
Then it morphed into the very buoyant and bouncy fun park, where we jumped around on small rubber walruses for hours… maybe. The time was all incoherent. The very buoyant and bouncy fun park turned evil right about then and grew some slimy, giant head-shaped appendages that tried to eat us, so we found a random water slide thing that took us all the way out to the canal in Pennsylvania, the Erie canal or something. But it wasn’t what it looks like now, it was like an actual canal, and not just a creepy piece of wood.
Anyway, the canal washed the horse and I along until we found ourselves on the edge of a random cliff, where a bunch of the yellow people started throwing flaming spears at us with gold catapults.
The horse then spoke in a very eerie voice. It said “This is not what it seems.” Which triggered the cliff to turn into the Joker, smile and laugh at us, and swallow us whole.
We plopped into where we started and the same yellow people who had thrown the spears at us welcomed us gladly back to, as they said in the same creepy voice as the horse, to “The Beginning.” The dream repeated three times, and at the end of the third rotation, the horse turned into a giant clove of garlic, which Enceladus, Sudo, fireh, and I began fighting over. Then Enc said “The little pools by someone’s decapitated head…” and we got hit by a typhoon.
The end. (That was long, sorry.)
Odd, huh?
Ugh, stupid old dreams.
Last night, I had this dream. It’s totally unexplainable in a weirdish, good kind of way.
It sort of mashed together the Home on the Range theme crossed with a very buoyant and bouncy fun park, which was in turn crossed with a giant, and I mean giant shoe store with a built in basketball court dream, the one with a bunch of MuseBloggers playing playing baseball on a giant loaf of melted jellybeans, which then started oozing everywhere, the one that was kind of like a cross between Maximum Ride and Harry Potter, and the one with these little video game characters that end up falling into the Grand Canyon, meet a stranded mer-person, get enrolled in the army, fight Bulgaria, and clone SudoRandom and Enceladus.
All in all, that was, by far, the weirdest of my weird dreams because it mashed together all my weird recurring dreams.
Grr.
I had a weird dream the night before last that I worked at a museum of curiosities that got swarmed by a mob of vendors who wanted to kill the curator, and a boy with tentacles growing on his feet (Not tentacles instead of feet, just regular feet with little things like scaled-up sea star suckers on them) offered to help me, but he actually betrayed me to the evil vendors, who were going to rip me apart… but then I woke up.
So I guess the moral is to never trust a boy with tentacle feet.
I had a highly entertaining dream in which I was a member of the Bennet family (YES!!!!!!) and we were at a wedding or some kind of party. Mr. Bennet was in fact a pirate, and everyone knows that the mortal enemies of pirates are ninjas. Mr. Bennet and his pirate friends were going on a trip, but they had to figure out which one of their friends was a ninja in disguise. There was something about a day and a secret number that I had to text to his pirate friends, but that part is fuzzy. I ran into one of my good friends at the party, and she told me that she was engaged to a boy we both know. She is dating someone else and I was confused, but it’s a dream so whatever. I started planning the wedding–it was going to be on a beach. Then I turned into Kitty Bennet and I got trapped on the pirate ship with Mr. Bennet, his pirate friends, and two little kids. Kitty couldn’t get off the ship so she was stuck there for the two-year voyage. I woke up at that moment.
*steals dream* *is Elizabeth instead of Kitty*
It could have been worse – you could have been Lydia!
Oh please no.
*is Lydia* How I would like to be married before any of you! Then I should chaperon you about to all the balls!
Last night I dreamed that the band room looked and smelled wrong, which was very upsetting to me. It has such a nice, friendly smell because it’s a fairly old building and it’s just such a nice place…
It seems that my worst dreams involve me being late for band practice. I think I’m a little too obsessed with band.
My most recent dream was actually the same dream continued in three bits (i.e. I started the dream, woke up, fell back to sleep, woke up again, fell back to sleep again, etc.) I don’t remember the whole thing but I do remember:
> My Grandmother was having difficulty getting her car – which was on my neighbor’s lawn – on to my driveway, so she ended up overshooting, thus going over the driveway and on to my lawn. This caused the car to jerk horribly, which caused her to hurt her foot. My mother came out and we helped get her into the bathroom. Then somehow her foot was attached to my leg (really weird). She sat down in the bathtub (clothes and all) , I put my leg with her foot in the water, and then she squeezed her big toe (in a way that looked like it was becoming dislocated) to supposedly get it to feel better. I was the one feeling the pain, however.
> I was on some main street with all those car dealerships and stores around. I was in my father’s green car with my sister (I think). All of a sudden , large rock-like projectiles started flying out of nowhere, crashing into cars, car dealerships, stores, roads, etc. I wanted to get out of the car but them some part of me realized that if I got out of the car, I would surely be hit, but if I stayed in the car, I would have time to get out before the rock hit it. Luckily no rocks hit my car. After the projectiles stopped flying around, I got out of the car and ran.
This morning I had some strange dreams. First I was at the beach with some people for my class, who were throwing themselves into the ocean ( for recreation ). Actually, there was very little beach, and then the sand dunes. They were jumping into the waves from the high-tide line. The waves were gray. It was cloudy. I was getting ready to go in, but I didn’t dream that part.
Then, I dreamed that all these high society characters from that book series The Luxe were boating around on these rafts in a bayou, in full early 20th century costume. The parents and stuff were on the dock. They were in a swamp-like thing, and Elizabeth Holland was leaping around. They were swimming in the swamp. It was strange. Then I woke up.
Two nights ago, I dreamed that I was at a kokon, and I was talking to an MBer (I never dreamed who it was specifically) and she showed me some sheet music, of a song I think she had written. It was printed out all officially. I noticed it had “[Town], Michigan” on it, so I asked her if she lived there. She got very angry and asked me, “Why would I tell you that?”
Then, last night, I dreamed that the [City] State Journal had an article about MuseBlog. The article resembled the actual ‘blog, but the top where it says “Museblog” was green, and “Museblog” was written in white.
I had a bad dream the night before last that my parents told me they’d promised when I was born that after I finished school, I’d join some military group and be an assassin and there was nothing I could do about it, and I was begging and pleading with them but they wouldn’t change their minds… it wasn’t fun.
I dreamed that my grandfather got me a portfolio of stocks as a present at a convention and was managing them for me. Strangely, the dream itself was not boring.
