The Weird Dream Thread!

Because this dream was way too weird not to share. Of course there could already be a thread for this sorta stuff. I don't recall seeing one, but if there was one, I apologize.

Maybe we can all just post our weird dreams here. Why not? I just wanted(needed) to share this:

Just had a weird dream. It sometimes starred me, sometimes starred Ryan Renolds. The concept was there was a world where magic was a real energy. It was in the very air. So we have this modern world people go around selling "Spell packets" It looks like this VHS case but on the cover are pictures of what the spells are supposed to do, and I assume when you open it there is something inside that lets you cast them. He and I never actually opened the thing. The dream kept shifting from it being me in first person, to me seeing Ryan Renolds do all this stuff.

The conflict of the movie AT FIRST is that the 'Magic particles' in the air are running out. So spells stop working and it turns out everyone was so reliant on just casting a spell to do a thing that many don't actually know how to do these tasks the normal mundane way. So Ryan is trying to help some people learn as I guess he lived mostly like a normal guy.

Well I know I come into the world and for some reason I naturally produce the magical particles. So like in OUR world there isn't magic, but in that world something our body naturally produces is flat out magic in this other world. So I'm able to do all these amazing things people USED to be able to do daily, except now they can't because there isn't enough magic. I think you can still get spells, but they are heavily guarded now. Only used for things like someone who is sick and needs magic to cure them sorta thing. (Though I'm sure the governments of the world hoarded them)

I remember something in my dream that had the headline of how Square Enix was hoping Shenmu 6 would sell more copies then it did. No idea why in that world they had that franchise, but apparently they did better with it.

The last major thing I remember was he/I were in New York and we stopped by the Muppet theater. In this world the Muppets are basically real, as they are enchanted well "Muppets" and walk around. I only ever really saw Kermit, so maybe the others had stopped moving... which is very sad to think about. I know Kermit basically knew he'd stop moving someday too, but was determined to keep the show running till it couldn't any longer. People did come to see them. It wasn't said but I have a feeling they weren't getting the crowd they usually got because everyone knew what was happening and it was depressing.

Ryan/I decided we couldn't stand for that, and somehow managed/figured out how to build a machine that would be part of the stage design that produced the magic particles. No idea if we made sure people wouldn't question it or not, but we basically made it so the Muppets would always be able to carry on. Basically a little bit of magic would stay in the world.

The dream began to fragment after that, and I woke up not long after.

This is a total RPG setting. It's up to the players to determine whether the machine worked or not.

Hmm, well, of the dreams that are board-safe...

It's hard to say because my dreams feel weird to me, but just to type them down they seem pretty ordinary.

_____

I'm at a mall. It varies between trying to find the food court, finding my cousin or finding a particular store/arcade. But the geography is always changing.

____

I find something I want at a store (toy store or video store). Either I have to go find my mother to give me some money and by the time I get back I can't find it or I'm just taking it to the register and when I get there, what I'm holding is not what I picked out and when I go back to find what I want I can't find it.

Or I go into the parking lot just to realize I'm naked.

____

I'm trying to drive somewhere. Either I'm on a bicycle or scooter on a really steep and/or muddy path and I'm not getting anywhere fast enough...or I'm on a highway that completely defies physics, but in a broken, floating island kind of way and/or in a recurring dream where going the same way doesn't necessarily lead you to the same place kinda way.

____

I'm in a house that I know is mine that I've lived in since I was a child (real life I've never lived in a house remotely like this) and I'm finding secret passages that I never knew existed and often are bigger on the inside than the entire house on the outside.

Sometimes I realize I'm naked and my parents just came home, or I need to find a bathroom but they're all either taken or not very private.

____

Of course there's the usual can't find a class I'd forgotten about all semester, usually missing a final. Can't find my locker. I can find my locker which is bigger on the inside but doesn't have the schedule I was looking for. I find my schedule but I can't read it. The campus I'm on is just similar enough to my actual real life college campus for me to know where I am, but different (and often non-euclidian) enough to royally mess with my head.

Do the bathrooms all have multiple doors?

Some of them, yes.

I've never had the naked dream. Not once.

I HAVE had the dream where I'm in class and I realize I'm not prepared for something, only for it to register that I'm a grown man and haven't been in school for like ever now.

My dream realm is a city. It's based slightly on where I grew up, except it has more tall buildings. I've had a lot of dreams where I'll go into a store and find all this cool stuff I want to buy, only to realize it's a dream and I can't actually get any of this.

Because of my brain, I've mentioned I lucid dream. So it's fairly common for me to sometimes just fly around, or walk through walls.

I've had countless run ins with ghosts, and end up using random powers to kick their butts.

I'm wondering if the reason I've never had the naked dream is because I wear clothing to bed. Hell I'm apparently a danger because not only do I wear socks, but I like to wear socks and then heel socks over those to help prevent blisters. I tend to just sleep with those still on my feet.

It's possible that if I slept naked, I'd be naked in a dream at some point, but we'll never know as I have no desire to sleep naked.

Don't know what you're missing.

Another weird dream. This time people were talking about an anime adaptation to a manga that I'm pretty sure doesn't actually exist.

The cover had a man with blond hair and glasses in a lab coat, being he was a scientist, holding a child, except the child was like sliver blue and apparently had and 'exoskeleton' for skin. Some experiment he and his wife (who was also a scientist) did. To their own child in the womb to get this.

From what I can tell the plot was that they were training/ observing their daughter (who was the kid with the exoskeleton just to be clear, she was an only child) Possibly with the goal to make her the ultimate warrior. I believe the point of the story was following her on her own little adventures in this world after she ran away from her parents. The set up here was they treated her right, but only because the father understood that raising a child with "Understanding and positive reinforcement" got you a more 'obedient' kid. He was very know it all though. When the girl would do anything he'd instruct her on exactly how to do it. I remember her getting frustrated and saying she wanted to learn herself how to do it.

I know at some point the father and mother were going to consider her a failure. Only other thing I recall was them driving home and entering a place that was half normal, and half sorta this weird pixelated mess. It was weird. I also remember people lining up to their home. Like this happened a lot for people to ask them questions or to ask for help with a problem. Perhaps they were supposed to be some of the smartest people around.

The girl as a seven year old (or close to that) Looked fairly normal, I guess her skin was just super hard like armor? Sadly didn't get many more details before my alarm woke me up.

I think there was a Dream thread in General. I'm too lazy to look for it.

I just scanned through all 17 pages and didn't see it. It's possible I missed it, but could it have been the old boards? Because now that you mention it, I do vaguely remember there being one. But I didn't see it.

There was most certainly one on the old boards, but yeah I don't remember seeing one for these new boards.

Also no dream last night. Honestly the fact I got two back to back like that was wild.

I frequently remember mine, but they're not always worth mentioning. I had a crazy one last night, though. Had to draw it.



Text version:

you know, that is a weird one ... anything you were thinking about that day related to Ozzy?

Nope! I don't even think I listened to any Metal yesterday. On a side note, while I was drawing this, we had a short and heavy thunderstorm. Even got a short bout of hail.

O_O

That was definitely a weird one. XD

I've written down many of mine. Some are still up on my old Live Journal, which I'm surprised is still around. Some I just have saved to various files on my computer.

I haven't had a nightmare since I was like five. I sometimes get close. There are a few times it's like a nightmare tries to happen. I've had to go into deep water a few times in my dreams where there is ALWAYS a shark, as those things terrify me.

Problem is I always just unleash like 10,000 volts of electricity into the water killing everything when it tries that.

Anything that can 'hurt me' I just beat the crap out of.

I once had a dream where I was at this hotel and the owners were being all hush hush about this one room you must NEVER go into. I dug around and found out it contained this ghost made of blood that could shape it's fingers into claws and chop you up.

I went to the room, undid the seal, then donned my Devil May Cry Dante outfit, and proceeded to jump up and bullet rain it a few times before slashing the heck out of it with my sword, till I killed it even though it was a ghost, and that's kinda what always happens in these situations. ^^;

That's one of those consistent setting details in my dreams too. There is always a shark in the water. Sometimes I am in a submarine looking outside. Sometimes I am swimming in some giant tank. Sometimes I have ended up in the ocean at night and have to swim an uncomfortably long distance to shore. There is always a shark in the water. Sometimes many.

I have not been bitten yet though.

I've been keeping a dream journal since I was around 10. I had lots of nightmares as a kid involving monsters, falling, etc. I kinda miss them, they're mostly silly in retrospect. My nightmares as an adult are ones that are very stressful/sad or ones I don't want to write about. More real life worries/worst case scenarios.

So last night I had a dream that Anne from Amphibia ended up in another world again. Not sure if it was a different part of Amphibia, or some other world entirely. I know she had some of her blue gem powers still. Like part of them remained inside her all this time and were growing stronger.

In this world she's fighting against this "Demon" Princess. Who of course just looks human with like horns or something. The princess is scared of Anne. I think there is some prophecy that makes it seem like Anne might be a big danger. The demon princess has a lot of minions, but you never see any other 'demons'.

Eventually we get to see her in her 'castle' of sorts (which kinda looked like a large hotel in my dream) and it seems pretty empty, though there are a lot of curtains strew about covering things everywhere.

Anne leads an attack to this castle and her and the Demon Princess fight/wrestle through some rooms till the Princess is cornered and in tears just tells Anne to kill her already. Anne then realizes that this entire time she hasn't seen any other demons come help her. The princess admits that she's it. Her race is gone. She's all alone and feared that Anne was here to take away what little she has left.

Anne of course stops fighting and hugs the princess. After some talk they realize that forces beyond them forced this conflict, but neither has any desire to hate or fight the other. So they become friends. The Princess then begins to show Anne a short tour around the hotel/castle, but everytime we get any glimpse as to what lies inside a curtain, the Princess re-directs Anne to another room.

We eventually come to the 'cat room' where there are just a ton of cats that are all very friendly and the Princess gets distracted by two of her minions returning from some mission.

Anne walks out of the room to get some fresh air, and notices that along the wall is a large curtain. Looking behind it she sees this huge beast that seems to be frozen in place in some sort of yellow amber like substance. The creature has a crown on his head and is shelding it's face, like it was being attacked. The wall is also revealed to have been broken at some point but was patched up.

Anne, curious, walks up to the creature to get a closer look. Somehow she just knows that it wasn't dangerous, or at least it wasn't evil. (Also in my dream it looked like Bowser from Mario in a way)

The Princess finds her and cries not to hurt him/it and to come back. Anne apologizes and says she was just curious as to what this was, placing a hand on it's back as she makes her way toward the princess. The yellow amber around it glows from her touch and begins to crack and fall away. The creature then groans and starts staggering backward. He sees the Princess and speaks:

"Ugh... what? Sweetiepie? Is that you my lovely daughter? What happened? I think I was fighting something?" The Princess meanwhile can not believe her eyes. Her father who has been frozen in that substance for a long time now is moving again! She leads up to a conference room near by where there are seats, so she can let him sit down. Anne is confused and just follows, touching the head of a lady in the amber along the way. This ends up being the Princess's mother who is also confused at what is going on. She was holding a tea pot and offers their guest tea which is somehow still nice and hot.

The dream kinda gets fuzzy after that and I don't recall all that happened. I just know that they figure out the prophecy thing about Anne is actually about how she'll help them, as the creature thing that caused them all to be trapped in the Amber in the first place is still out there.

There was this teenage girl who lived in a huge house. I'm talking like a tall mansion/castle type deal. I want to say they were the Dreamvale family. It's a pretty large family from what I recall of the dream. It focused on one daughter specifically. The dream didn't give me her name though.

Apparently I was her best friend, a year or two older. I think she was like 14. I think at 16 you take a test and if you pass you become a licensed magic user. Magic users in this world can do pretty much anything if you can dream it up and focus the magic. She was inviting me over to her house. I think they just moved into this new house, or I only recently became her BFF because apparently I had never been there before.

She's allowed to use some minor spells, but can't do too much or any large spells as it's forbidden. I feel like there was a magical society that somehow knows if you are? No idea how it worked. I just know I was free to do as I pleased with my magic.

Upon arriving at her home she goes running up the stairs with magical speed, leaving me behind. So I, being a kid who grew up with today's tech, get the bright idea to float up a bit.

Sorry should mention that the main foyer area is like a small den with a staircase that spirals up and up along the walls. It goes up like several stories high. We're talking like this is a 12-story high house.

I'm floating like 3 or 4 stories up and I shoot out this wave of magic that 3D maps the entire thing in my head. The thing is though it detects that right under a small set of stairs at the entrance way, there is something that leads further down. This place has a basement they aren't aware of. What's more there is a stone chest with a locked drawer in this space, and a small wooden like box the size of a shoe box. On top of this chest is a tiara with a purple gem that's now glowing because my magic touched it.

I go down break the board hiding it and make them aware of what I've found. The family gathered around and we all began to discuss what is up. The tiara once removed let's the chest be opened. Inside is a key to the stone chest, but we never got around to opening it. There was also a bunch of other stuff in this box. I can't remember all of it. I do know there was like this small plastic container that I think had tobacco or something in it. The daughter had a knack for being able to see inside things with her magic. I think it was like automatic. So she knew something was inside.

I remember I was looking at various things and using magic tricks like having light come out of my palm so we'd have a flashlight. I did some other stuff but can't remember it all. For some reason I had to do complex magic that the daughter also wanted to do, but her family scolded her. While I was her friend, I feared for her getting hurt. I think I knew she could be reckless, and I surprised the family by taking their side, mentioning how I had to really work to pass that test so I could use my magic as I did. She had like another year or two before she was old enough to take it. So baring emergencies she couldn't use that level of magic.

Naturally she was pissed, but I guess she understood how important it was. Because she didn't fight with me, but she did suggest I see what was in the container. However I knew she had already seen something, so it was likely something I'd hate. So I refused.

Turns out it was a "Spider" Which she isn't afraid of such things and even has it sitting over her mouth to gross me out.

Except I put "Spider" in quotation marks because it while on her face, some stray bit of magic knicks off one of it's legs. Which it regrows and gets a little bigger.

Not sure if it was all me or the family helped but it's realized this is actually a monster of sorts. We get it outside, and it turns out this thing that fragments itself and scatter. Using any of its parts to attack you and survive if you kill its other bits. As long as one bit survives it can come back.

I float above it and see it tries to fragment into a ton of tiny spider-like things to scatter itself, but I use my magic to create an orb of wind that acts as a vacuum and sucks all the parts back into one mass. I then cause it and the area around it to burn. Destroying it completely.

During the battle there was this large mole just sitting on the sidewalk watching. I remember it popped up earlier in the dream somewhere, but I have no clue what it's significance was. Probably a spy. I do recall at one point seeing a man in a mask with two robed females that were his subordinates. I think the mole might have been one of the girl's familiars. I know she was reporting what we found, and I think he was looking for the path I uncovered as I know past those two chests was a way deeper down that led to this big circle room with an alter or something.

I think we ended up calling the creature 'The Nightmare' and it was just a small tiny fragment of a much larger creature/threat. Like the thing/being could pull part of it's mass out and give it sentience/consciousness enough that it was its own creature.

I woke up not long after the battle, so any further details I never got.
