As some of you may know, I am a gigantic dream geek, and dreams have always been a huge fascination of mine. I even keep a journal and a pencil beside my bed so I can catalogue mine. So here's a place where you can post all of your journeys to the whimsical, magical fantasy land within the recesses of the mind.

Oh, and no wet dreams. We want to keep Bibby Team safe for work, now don't we?

well,

Their was one, I was playing SMB2,
It started off normal enough, until i made luigi jump in to this pit,

Things got weird from their,
the pit, was filled with the rotting corpses of several characters

After crawling out, Their was warts severed head on a stick.
the place suddenly turned dark, and evil.

This is actually the main inspiration for TTD.

This was before the theme for the latest mgc was revealed. I dreamt that the theme was "roller coasters." I have the weirdest dreams sometimes.

It's kind of rare I have dreams of any type, and usually they involve me forgetting about responsibilities/traditions (taking a test when I haven't studied, or forgetting when Christmas is). However, a couple of times in the past year I've dreamed about 4chan launching a raid on this forum. That was fun - once I woke up.

That would actually be a pretty crazy idea for a fangame. It'd be super fun, except maybe if we release it 4chan really WOULD raid our forums.

I had a dream last night that I died and I was in some kind of Purgatory, which looked sort of like a school campus. Me and a few others were taken to an office with a waiting room, and there were two doors, "one to Heaven and one to Hell." A secretary came and told us that roughly 2/3s of the us (including me) were going to Hell, so we went through that door.

Inside that door was another waiting room, and there were already a few people in it. The secretary in that room explained that Hell was only a temporary place, and it was at maximum capacity so we would have to wait in the Hell waiting room for "another" week. The people who were already there groaned explaining how many weeks they had been waiting to get into Hell, and they "just want to get Hell over with so they can go to Heaven."

It became "dinner time" so we left the building to get dinner. (Why did we need food if we were dead?) Outside was still full of other people waiting to go to the Heaven/Hell waiting room (none of them seemed to know that the Hell waiting room led to another waiting room before Hell.) After dinner (and after each meal, the chefs explained) we had to go back to the hell waiting room and sit there day and night. If we refused to go back, we would have to eat our meals in the waiting room.

After I ate dinner, I got back to the waiting room and the chairs were gone, and replaced with cots. The next morning (dream kind of had a jump here) I went back outside to eat breakfast, and there were "new people" (people who had just died I guess) who were Mormons and trying to convert everyone in Purgatory to Mormonism.

Then I woke up.

Last night I had a freaky Space Ghost Coast to Coast dream. In the dream, I was hired to do a reboot of the show, and for some reason I could do all the character's voices perfectly. Then some feminists made a female version of the show, where Space Ghost looked exactly the same except had boobs and lipstick. Zorak and Moltar looked the same but sounded more feminine.

Brak wasn't in the dream, but strangely, I had a dream earlier that night involving him, but it was like he was a real person. I guess once I transitioned into the dreams I described above, he didn't appear, since in those dreams it was about them being characters, not real people. I'm not quite sure how to explain it. Also, here's a mockup of how the female Space Ghost in my dream looked: http://i.imgur.com/dmkis.png

I don't remember my dreams often. No matter how many different things I try in order to fix that, nothing works.

But when I do, they tend to be pretty cool. I remember one from a few years back where Paul McCartney took me on a date in Italy... Hahahahaha!

In another fun one, I was dressed as Madotsuki from Yume Nikki, trapped in a mansion, and had to fight off zombies. It wasn't scary, it was in an arcade game kind of style.

Last night I had a dream that an "FM Object" (Whatever that is, I think it was supposed to be some sort of asteroid or something) was going to hit the earth and we were all going to die. Then a flying manta ray flew past the window.

Might as well use this as an ongoing dreams-related topic, if Genogens doesn't object.

Last night I dreamed I went to a soccer-themed party where Steven Tyler was shaking hands and chatting with everyone. His long, aging hairstyle lent him an intimidating air, but he was really nice. The funny thing is it's probably been months since I've even thought about him or Aerosmith.

Back when I was still learning to drive I would have tons of dreams where I would be falling asleep at the wheel and barely missing oncoming traffic. Usually I'd wake up while turning and find that I had almost rolled off the bed. Freakin' hated those dreams.

Not really a dream ive had, but still the stuff of nightmares,
(and still relevant to the current piece of conversation)

You would not believe how often you find people multitasking while driving,

talking on the cell phone, texting, applying makeup, reading a book, playing video games, watching a movie, among certain THINGS i wish i hadn't seen that would scar people for life *shudder*

I honestly dont blame you guys for being a bit scared of driving.

Portable communication can be nightmare fuel, however. When I was 11 or 12 years old, I dreamed about this woman who went to the library while loudly talking on her cell phone and dropping French fries all over the floor, all whiling toting around a screaming baby. I'm glad I haven't met her in real life... yet.

And Miles, maybe you shouldn't be watching the local news right before bed!

smbmaster99:

Double-posting because why not.

Last night I dreamed that I went through a cabinet full of old cases of 7-Up (some expired in 2006 or 2008) and video cassettes (anyone remember those?) that I'd never seen before. Some of the videos looked extremely boring, such as "Emergency Contact Information" (because if an emergency happened, you'd sure expect people to go through a cabinet full of VHS tapes to figure out how to get in touch with you). I also watched an obscure movie from the 50's where a wealthy couple (think "Dennis the Menace") were being badgered by annoying neighborhood kids, so they decided to make their home look like a haunted mansion to scare the kids away.

I also dreamed I went for an eye exam. I don't wear glasses or contacts, and I think my eyes are pretty good (although it's never been independently verified, since they've never checked my eyes even when I've been to the DMV to get a driver's license). The optometrist worked in an open-air market full of healthcare professionals, and while the atmosphere was neat, the lines were really long - so long, in fact, that my dream ended before I could take my eye exam.

Yep. I think we still have a few laying around.

I had a couple of dreams this morning but can't really remember most of what happened in them.

First one was a soft nightmare like I normally have. Nothing horrifying, but I wake up feeling fairly scared and slightly paranoid either way when I have 'em. First part I can remember is that out of nowhere our house was suddenly behaving like the whole place was being supported solely by a wheel axis. Like, it was rotating left and right and if it went too far either way it would almost fall over. Which way it rotated depended on what side of the house you were standing on. And for some reason we had no internal walls and our old blue carpet was back. The other part I remember was the one that actually scared me. I was in my bathroom about to walk out, and I turned on the light. There was a delay, then things started happening. That light itself never came on. The aforementioned things consisted solely of a power freakout throughout the side of the house it was on. Lights and all other electronic devices were powering on and off at a fixed rate, swapping states every third of a second. That noise that came with it was just scary. I told my dad about it when he walked out of his room to see what was going on but I don't recall his reaction or anything that happened after that. I might have woken up right at that point. The sound I kept hearing when the power issues started in my dream was echoing across my mind which kept me freaked out for the next few minutes until I went back to sleep.

I'm beginning to wonder if going to sleep when hot is a known cause of nightmares. Does it to me every time.

The other dream was actually quite a bit longer, but I remember only a tiny bit of it. First part I recall was some giant audience in a fairly lit black room. I have no clue what the audience was actually there to see. Then suddenly it was me and some random folks being in a play where no one was watching and the stage was real life. The setting was our back porch, just much bigger. I have no idea what it was about or who any of us were. At some other point I was talking to a particularly nice-looking lady that was apparently a very important figure in gaming journalism. I asked her why she was trusting me alone out of all the people in the world with some serious behind-the-curtains info she had on major upcoming titles. I remember nothing past asking that.

Miles: That would indeed be a tad unsettling.

Last night I dreamed that I was sitting in my Organizational Behavior class. The layout was similar to my normal classroom, except we were in a basketball gym instead of my normal low-ceiling classroom. It was the day we were choosing teammates for the upcoming group project. Unfortunately, all of the people who I had invited to join my group were absent, which was going to be a problem, since it looked like I was going to be assigned to a group I didn't want to be in. We saved the day by turning the lecture into a basketball game, since a lot of other people were out as well. Unfortunately, our game didn't last too long, because an overhead pipe started leaking. Apparently the water pipes in this gym were constructed from a decommissioned submarine, and because of this unusual structure, they would be difficult and time-consuming to fix.

Once again, I never said my dreams were supposed to make sense.

Earlier this week, I dreamed that my mother made a Twitter account and hyper-optimistic televangelist Joel Osteen instantly followed her. I don't know why either.

The week after I had my most recent team project dream, two of my teammates were absent from class, and another one (the girl who was the subject of a topic earlier this month) got so sick that her eyes turned blood-red, making her look like a cameo from a zombie film. She still hasn't fully recovered from her zombification. (That said, I did get the group I originally wanted, and we didn't play any hoops.) Then, a few weeks thereafter, I found myself manning a table in a room that looked somewhat similar to the gym in my dream, minus the overhead submarine.

I dreamed that I had hair issues.

I don't recall the setting but I do remember that my head was itching, so I started scratching it. I noticed that I was pulling out lots and lots of hair with each scratch in the process, then proceeded to look in a mirror that was conveniently nearby. I thought that looked horrible, so I then purposely decided to pull some more out because there were a bunch of spots where there were small clumps of hair left. I then went to watch a mark3611 Billy Mays YTP video about a fictional product called Hair-Away, wishing it was real. I then woke up.

(Said video and the desire to lose my hair are not real things.)

this isn't a dream i had, but my friend told me about a really good one he had a while back

he had this dream that he met, fell in love with, and then had an affair with a girl. well, towards the end of the dream, he found her crying. when he asked her why she was crying, she said "because you're real and i'm not, so i won't be able to see you when you wake up." i probably forgot the majority of what happened in the dream, but i don't think anything i've dreamed has ever come close to even that basic concept

Wow, that's pretty deep/meta for a dream.

A girl with short blonde hair who wore glasses. She was the only other character I actually met in the dream.
A foreign exchange student from Peru who is passionate about photography. I saw some of her work in the dream, and she was actually pretty talented. She'd taken a lot of stunning photos of Incan ruins.
A tall guy with dark hair. He holds the honor of being the only fictional character bestowed with a name.
A girl with pink hair. She is the younger, gender-swapped version of a guy I see every time I walk to class. Unlike her real-world male clone, she didn't wear glasses. She didn't give me good vibes.

Fireball3k: This is a slightly late response, but that is another great super-detailed FB3k dream.

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed that I got a job as a teacher's assistant at a slightly sketchy local high school . It was the first day of a single-semester AP Criminal Justice class. This is peculiar, because the College Board does not offer AP classes in Criminal Justice. Regardless, my job was to read tests and quizzes to people (whether because they're ESL, they have a learning disability that affects their reading skills, or they have a visual impairment). I peeked at the first quiz and saw that it looked very corny.

As part of this job (as with nearly every other job on the planet), I sometimes needed access to a computer. My laptop is literally falling apart and would probably die for good if I attempted to take it any farther than my real-life desk, so I had to use the computer in the classroom. It was an aging Windows 7 machine. Whenever anyone turned it on, the NFL on FOX theme song would begin to play at a moderately high volume - loud enough to get everyone distracted for a bit. When I first turned it on, I had a hard time figuring out how to get the music to stop. I closed Windows Media Player, but it still took a while to figure out how to get it to stop.

There weren't many students in this class. I guess nobody wanted to take a fake "AP Criminal Justice" class if they could avoid it (even though college-level Criminal Justice programs have a reputation for being rather easy). I recall seeing a black dude with a lot of 'tude, a nice but dumb white girl who wore a short-sleeved maroon dress, and a nonbinary person who naturally had a mix of blond and red hair. Perhaps one or more of these characters will appear somewhere in Career Fantasy.

Also, I keep getting really iffy-quality dream jobs.

3/5 Edit: Fixed a dumb usage error. You didn't see anything.

I had a very, very, very strange dream today.

I was riding a school bus that my grandmother was driving (something that hasn't actually happened since I was in elementary school, I believe) and was standing up behind her seat. Everyone else on the bus was standing, too. I saw her pull her phone out and check something, but then right at that moment a car pulled out in front of her and it got hit out of the way. It scared the bajeezus right out of her, and she lost control and plowed through a nearby house. There was no resistance from said house; the bus just powered right on through. Pretty much immediately afterwards I started trying to talk her into turning herself in, and then everyone on the bus crowded up at the front as if they were in support of this. May be worth noting that I recognized absolutely none of the students on the bus.

When we got to the police department (this was a jump cut in my dream, as well), which for some reason looked more like a hospital, there was a news thing on a small-ish wall mounted widescreen TV showing what had happened. On display were mysteriously acquired cinematic shots of both the car hit and the carnage at the house. Among those affected in this incident was 3D Chester Cheetah (the actual fictional character who somehow existed outside of commercials), who was in that house at the time of the plowing. He managed to survive and make an appearance in front of the news camera, but his frontmost teeth were less than fortunate. Apparently they were compromised as a result of where he was in that house when it all went down. Ouch. Dream ended there, because my folks had just returned home and blew the horn to summon me for something.

I don't know why an ad kitty for snack foodables was floating around in my subconscious, but apparently it was.

I've had an increase in COVID-related dreams lately - usually I find that I've gone to a crowded place and forgotten to bring a mask.

Recently I dreamed that an older family member decided to get a puppy (I think a Rottweiler)! We all got in the car (dog included) and started driving somewhere. The puppy was good-natured but hyperactive and impulsive. He decided to jump out of the window when he saw something interesting! We spent some time trying to find the lost dog, but he eventually found his way back home.

I had another pet-related dream last night. There's a yellow tabby cat that lives next door to me in real life. I dreamed that she got really, really excited when I was carrying a stuffed kitty (I'm not sure if it was laced with catnip or something!). This kitty was so excited that she was jumping several feet in the air. (The real-life version of this cat can do some interesting tricks, including somersaults, but I haven't seen that - at least not yet!)

February 2022 dream

For some reason they asked me about the Queen of England

This detail probably would've made more sense if it had happened earlier this year...

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed that I was reading random articles on Wikipedia. One of these articles was about a supposed North Vietnamese military leader named N.D. Bean. He was a frontrunner to become a general during the Vietnam War, but he was deemed too much of a hard-liner even for North Vietnam. He had a very deep voice - the Wikipedia article included a brief audio clip of him speaking.

I also read a Wikipedia page about a fictional magazine called "Man, Sir, and Home." It was aimed at men living in New York City, especially Manhattan. Its emphasis was supposedly on decorating and interior design, but it also had some material that strayed far from its mission. For example, it had a long-running comic parodying fact-checker sites. The article included a list of all the characters that appeared in these comics, along with a detailed analysis of their backgrounds and personalities.

Last month, I had a stretch where I had a memorable dream four nights in a row. This is extremely unusual for me!

1. In one, I lived in a different house. This house had two very large TVs in the living room (which is funny because my real-life TV broke this weekend). I never told anyone that I had moved. I realized I'd just voted, and I think my ballot would've been slightly different if I'd updated my address like the Supervisor of Elections probably wanted me to.

2. In another dream, I moved to Spain. Apparently my employer wanted to give employees an opportunity to live in other countries and learn about different markets and stuff. I think we lived in our office, and there were a bunch of people drinking some kind of interesting nonalcoholic beverage out of ceramic cups.

3. In this one, some of the librarians at the college where I got my undergrad degree wanted me to give them a presentation about computer programming. One of them was a little flirty (I think she wanted this as an excuse to hang out with me). Before my presentation, I went to a nearby mall and saw a friend I hadn't seen in a while. We got ice cream, and there was a TV on the wall showing hockey highlights. Apparently the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team had unveiled a new set of mascots - anthropomorphic cheesesteaks that were also influenced by the Phillie Phanatic. These three mascots "hatched" from giant eggs on the ice and started skating around the rink before the game. I couldn't hang out with my friend too long because I had to leave for my presentation thingy.

4. In the last one, I had a wife (!) and a 15-year-old daughter (!). My wife was unnamed, and she always remained "off camera" (this tends to be the case for dreams where I find myself in a committed relationship). My wife and I were concerned about our daughter because we had a strong suspicion that she was becoming "active" - not the kind of active that involves going to the gym. Our daughter wasn't very up-front about her budding relationship - we didn't even know her new boyfriend's name. Apparently my wife and I weren't sure how to share our concerns, and we looked at a couple of really cheesy sex ed books about how to approach this topic. Neither one was helpful, and the dream ended before we could have our awkward conversation.

As strange as these dreams are, as usual I have a pretty good idea of what triggered each of them.

Around the time that Elon Musk was sworn in as the Chief Twit of Twitter 2.0, I had dreams where he was showing up in them. I can only remember one of them, and only barely at that.

There's a McDonald's in my hometown about five minutes away from there. I had a dream that Elon Musk was there for some reason, and that he asked me if I wanted to hang out and play video games or smoke weed or something. It was like I was observing all of this from the outside, but somehow, I still perceived it as being a conversation between me and him. That's really about all I can remember.

This dream was short:

My family and I were eating (dinner I think)
We see a very, very bright flash outside. we all get up to investigate.. only to see pitch blackness...

Brother: "Where did the sun go?"
*Frost starts forming across all windows*
TV (Interupted for news): *Nonsensical.. ended with Solar boom*
Dad: Well, looks like this is it.
Mom: Guess I'm not planting any corn this year
Brother: Eh.. saw it coming.
Sister: guess I have an excuse to get out of work
Me: ...something is off here... *shines a flashlight outside, causing everything to revert back to normal*
The dream goes nonsensical from this point...

I had a dream about needing to use the restroom, but the restroom just wasn't having it.

I was at some public restaurant and really needed to go do #2. So I went to the restroom and noticed that the lights weren't really on. There was enough light to barely see what things were, but it wasn't enough to comfortably do the full deed. The bathroom was very futuristic-themed. Instead of a lightswitch, there was a group of touch-panel lights and a touchscreen CRT TV. The top touch panel was supposedly the light control. Unfortunately, upon pressing the panel, the voice of Andy Field (the guy that voiced the hand unit in Sister Location and various other guides in those games) spoke to me and said "Not so fast! You must first type in the pass code. Touch the other panels for more information." You had to solve a puzzle before you were allowed to turn on the lights. I somehow got the code, "10101," but when I went to input it on the screen it didn't want to let me type it. The touch screen on the little TV was being aggravating, not reading my finger positions correctly or at all. Eventually I got the code put in but then when I hit the top panel to turn on the lights, "Not so fast! Your code has expired, and a new one needs to be generated. Touch the other panels for more information."

My dream then transitioned to another one, but I don't remember that one.

@Miles Ha, 2FA meets restroom lighting!

Last night, I dreamed that my mom worked for the power company and got me an internship there. She showed me how to do a maintenance task on power poles - the correct safety steps to take, and how to replace a certain part that needed replacing. None of it really makes any sense at all, for a whole bunch of reasons.

Later in the dream, I was in the garage at a house that resembled my old house. Across the street, there was a live band in someone's driveway, and they were playing an eclectic selection of music, including rock, rap, gospel, and jazz. Everyone started dancing when they played the jazz piece. The band included a black guy named Jackson and a white guy who didn't have a name.

After the music + dance party was over, I was playing a Mario Kart game in the garage. The track was based on the F-1 track in Tuscany but was lumpy and bumpy in places (think Wario Stadium). It was very glitchy - the HUD showed I was leading when I crossed the finish line, but the final results screen said I had finished a minute and a half behind the seventh-place driver.

I don't have much experience with ROM hacks, but I turned off the Mario Kart game and started playing some kind of SMB3 (specifically, the All-Stars version) ROM hack. The first level was easy and straightforward, while the second level descended into full-blown Kaizo territory - it started with a series of Donut Lifts over a pit that require squat-jumping because of the overhead ceiling.

Apparently a girl was watching me play - it was someone my mom taught a couple of decades ago. It's unclear how or why she showed up. Her name was Paige (the real girl's middle name), and she said she had a "crush" on the allegedly awesome game I was playing! I don't think she was ever too interested in video games, especially ridiculously tough ROM hacks, but I'm not sure - she seems to keep a low profile on social media, and I don't know anyone who's encountered her since she was in elementary school.
