Thats cool. I like nightmares. I know I sound odd when I say that, but I really do enjoy the thrill. Its like being in a horror movie, only to wake up to a happy ending. I wish I had more nightmares...

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

You are the craziest person I have ever met, ZV.

I hate nightmares.  Especially ones about death.  I feel weird all day.

Long dream earlier this morning (went to bed at like five am)

First dream was extremely weird. I was playing a really old/primitive video game of what seemed like Dungeons and Dragons or some other RPG... I had a character, and it started off in a castle with an evil queen. I go up to the evil queen, she fights and defeats me. Then things shift to another perspective and I'm in the game, from a first person point of view, and I'm running up a staircase, fighting monsters that are floating (it's a very wide area... not closed off)  and I had to jump over gaps in the stairs. Quite a few strange monsters that follow me along the side as I run. I get to the top but things turn out into a mall and it's like I'm at a convention for nerds. I go through what seemed to be the castle/crazy stairway, but it's still in the mall. I keep going, following a guy through the mall, going up and down a LOT of stairs and paths... Then it turned into a dream where I was discussing something with my brother... something about Calculus and demonstrating a certain equation with a ball. Now I'm in a part of town that's elevated, there's traffic and we decide to go eat... I go along the bus and I try to meet/pick up some ladies... to no avail... and that's about where the dream ends.


Another dream, It started off in a hotel, quite a fancy hotel. I spend some time in a room and prepare to go to sleep, trying to turn off all the lights of the room. I turn off all the   lights, however one lamp is still on, I unplug said lamp but it still doesn't turn off... So I call room service to help out (I was worried that it might be overheating, catch fire). Then I go off to the bathroom to get washed up, Bathtub was a little like a Jacuzzi with the jets. I spend some time out and about there... Then I find myself with a cat, and playing around with the cat in my room. It felt more than a little surreal, just the overall mood of the place. I go out after playing with the cat, cat disappears, and I end up being moved up to another room where about the same thing happens (play with cat, etc...) Someone comes knocking at the door, at first I hardly notice it. Upon opening the door, I found someone whom I hadn't met... and we decided to go out. I thought that I was in a rural area, but when I got out, it was a big city. I follow this guy for a bit tthrough the streets, see big fire trucks and firefighters/public service around... a minor insignificant detail about an accident and an explosion across the river.

After following this new friend for a bit more (getting lost for a bit...  I've never been in a city before, so everything felt really weird...) and we enter a mall. This particular mall is huge, going on for what seems to be miles... I try to find the guy that I met, but eventually lose him, so I go around the mall for a bit... It seemed more active, people actually talking and doing stuff and I noticed all this going on. I try to ask a few people if they can help find my friend... But I remember that he showed me his address somewhere... Apartment No. 9, Room 2146. And I go out to the ninth block of the mall and go walk out the door... I look around and there are various postal boxes everywhere... on various levels, lockers... stairs...

But I find this guy's house eventually, turns out he has nine brothers... Then a part comes where It's like I'm playing Zelda... Reminded me of Deku Palace of Majora's Mask... I have to find a certain plant, and go off and get it to someone and have them send me off via use of a small cannon... It seems like I'm right outside of the apartment, but at the same time in another world entirely... Eventually I go back to the apartment and the guy shows me what's going on... Especially with his father. The apartment had an upper and lower level, a ladder connecting the two. The lower level seemed like the other world of Zelda... While the upper seemed normal and part of the mall... I get sent out and off to another apartment where things seem exactly the same... But it's different and I meet a guy with three kids, but he can't know that I'm there... I hang out with one of the kids and it seemed for a little bit that I seemed to be a part of that family, going through chores... eating chinese food... And there was a weird arcade in there somewhere with bare walls.

I'm about to be kicked out but I give each of the kids a little something, at first it's a hairlock... but then I give each of them a few lines of writing... I go outside and down because I've been kicked out... and go into a building that seemed a rest center/computer place... with multiple floors, but messed up stairs. The bathroom at the bottom level had a lot of drunk college guys... And I go off to the computer and try to write something...

After that segment, I change gears into another dream and this time I'm with a little girl but her parents can't know about me, so we go off and have some other friends and throw a ball around, we're in a suburban neighborhood. Then we go into a weird 'state' that came from the girl's mind and we're in a dwelling with bright rooms and colored walls/windows/force fields. Each room seemed to represent a different season, the last room white with winter... There's only a chair or two in this last room and a large window sliding-door. The girl goes about the room, and before I know it, I'm hunting little ferrets of some sort... seemed like a game... lots of colored walls/force fields... and when the game's done, the girl disappears and the dream ends there.




Heh... Exceptional vivid detail is a thing that I try to go with in describing my dreams. The dreams wouldn't be really be 'there' without all these details.

There's another dream I had a while back...


But this one relating to an adult female/cyborg and a building with strange elevators...

At the beginning of said dream (it seemed more like a series of dreams) there's some really funky movement and It's like I'm chasing witches, along the streets, there's a big house up on the left on an elevated area... and I'm chasing these people with some really funky gymnastics on all sides. Then we go into a building.

the girl's trying to evade the police and she somehow multplies... and we're in the bottom of the building, then we go up along a really open/wide elevator shaft and she uses some weird gymnastics to go up and around.

In yet another part of the series of dreams, that cyborg lady is trying to set herself and a few others free, but we're in an area of extremely weird architecture with stairs everywhere and narrow slits between 'open-air' buildings... And there's a sort of dungeon like area but it seemed more puzzle/maze based. And she navigates it, from part to part until we're out again and in a wasteland...

Yeah, I remember too many of my dreams.

Peka

You remember a lot.  I can visualize how each event flows to another in dream nonsense that makes sense... if that makes sense.  I get dreams with long hallways like your first dream a lot.  Do you ever have dreams where everything is fuzzy and you can't see anything but everyone else can?  I get those often and they annoy me.

Placebo effect, perhaps? ;)

Yeah, I've always found that strange too. If it wasn't placebo, then how come a flyswatter doesn't work just as well :P

I've had dreams where I was blind, or my eyes were only half open and I couldn't open them all the way. They're very aggravating.

I had this wierd dream where I was a safety on the football team. I tried to tackle a guy and ended up grabbing his leg as I fell. I stood up and he was hopping on one leg trying to pull his other one out, so I jumped into the air, curled up into a ball, and dropped straight down. He fell down. Yay me. Something tells me that's not how the pros would do it though.

I'm pretty sure it's a placebo effect, I have two in my room, and I still have nightmares.

I had a weird one last night in which my family and I went to a ghost town for vacation. It looked an awful lot like San Antonio, at least some parts did. I remember walking around an exact replica of South Park Mall. It was dreary looking, a lot of lights were down and stuff.

I walked up the escalator (it didn't work) and looked around the upstairs, only to find a few homeless people. They were part of a cult, I guess, or something, but they immediately disliked me. I ran down the escalator, and they chased me down.

It eventually came to a dead end in an alley, and for some reason or another, none of us noticed the corpse/monster in between us until one of the crazy people decided to try and kill me, and the monster ate him. After some weird other stuff happened, I ended up riding the monster back to our truck and drove off. ... I'm not sure where my family was during this whole time, though.

I also had another dream where I walked with a couple other people to this... school/hospital place. Nothing happened at all.

JDog

um, wow, what kind of food or drink did you eat or drink that night? I've pretty crazy dreams before, but thats probably the crazist dream I've ever read. :o

Fishalicious

That's not that weird. D: But when I listen to the Pillows when I sleep, yeah, stuff... happens. o_o

I also had a dream where I was forced to take 13 showers in a row or else I'd be killed. There were challenges in each shower. One shower didn't have a curtain. Another had cancerous conditioner. I had to mix blood from one of the faucets with said conditioner in a rusty old bathtub to make a key to unlock another shower. A bloody nurse attacked me, and I beat it to death with a back-scrubber and soap.

Then Pyramid Head busted through my glass hallway and cornered me into a bathroom with my sister, where a dog jumped out of a hole in the wall and ate him.

... It wasn't scary at all, so much as when I woke up, I just sat there for a while. I... still have no idea what the hell happened. o_o

darkphantomime

I've had crazier. But sometimes the lighting is so artificial, there's no feeling to go by on.

JDog

I for some reason haven't had a dream in a long time... is it normal to not dream?

MagmarFire

It's possible that you have dreamt but just kept forgetting them. However, I will say that it probably is normal to not dream at all.



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

I don't remember most of it... all I remember is that there were three gigantic horses on the back lawn, and one had a baby. I also remember that I looked into the mirror... and I had hair like Envy. Freaky.
What, you expect me to say something witty?
