Re: Weird Dream Thread
I had a dream about a blue gorilla... riding a unicorn... in my grandma's garden.
I wonder what my mind is trying to tell me.

It's question time. Sorry there's so many: we have three players, as well as the scene and you. I'm not a dream expert. I'm not picking your brain. You can write the answers, pm the answers, or just answer them to yourself.
1. Is your grandma alive or passed on?
2. What time of day was it in the dream (day/night)?
3. As far as you can tell, what season was it?
4. Were there many or few trees in the garden?
5. Vegetable or flower garden?
6. was the garden based on a real garden you've visited, or is it unrecognizable?
7. Is the garden very small/cramped or enormously expansive (more like an orchard)?
8. Was your grandma in the garden in the dream? If so, what was she doing (e.g. weeding, picking fruit)?
9. Was the garden enclosed by a fence or wall. If so, how open/partial was the fencing/wall?
10. Mountain or lowland gorilla?
11. Gorilla gorilla or man in a gorilla suit?
12. Dark blue or light blue?
13. Was the unicorn more like a stallion in size, or more like a pony/goat in size?
14. Color of the unicorn?
15. Was the horn whole or broken?
16. Were you 'physically" in the scene of the dream, or were you oneirically "floating" observing it all? If you were physically in the scene, what were you doing (e.g. weeding, picking fruit)?
17. Was the gorilla mounted bareback as a human, or only kind of hanging on precariously/squatting on haunches on the unicorn's back?
18. was the gorilla holding onto reins/clutching at the unicorn's mane/hair, or were its arms flailing about?
19. What was the gorilla's affect: angry, hooting happily, fearful, quiet and focused?
20. Was unicorn still or running about? If running, was it on a path or trampling plants/flowers?
21. Did the gorilla see/acknowledge you?
22. Did the gorilla brush against you, strike you, or touch you some other way?
23. Did the unicorn gouge you with its horn, brush against you, trample you, or interact with you in some other way?
24. Did the gorilla, unicorn or you interact at all with your grandma, if she was present in the dream?
25. Was it cloudy/rainy in the dream?
Re: Weird Dream Thread
Last night I dreamt that I was running through the city I live in.
But I wasn't running normally, but on all four, much like a rodent. I was running through a maze of people in the city center. I recall seeing my hands, normal, human hands, so I think that I was human in this dream. Then I woke up.

Well, according to Freud, it means that you are sexually incontinent due to an abnormal or strange relationship with your mother. You are also a sexual pervert and possibly a future rapist. Also, it was all your mother's fault.H.Á. wrote:I had a dream about a blue gorilla... riding a unicorn... in my grandma's garden.
I wonder what my mind is trying to tell me.
Now, from a logical standpoint, it probably doesn't actually mean anything; either that, or your brain is trying to tell you that there's some freaky shit going on up there. If the latter, you might want to get that checked out.

Re: Weird Dream Thread
I had a dream about a computer game and a conworld, in wich large areas of land were unavailable (at first), due to political and ecologic reasons (a small region was labelled with a tooltip reading Do you really want to go there? and a great area in the mid south was deemed radioactive). With time, more and more land was available to expand my empire (Crusader's Kings, obviously, mangled with my conpeople).
A peninsula shaped like Italy was found in the extreme east, where Greece should have been, and a landmass in the west was shaped like the Spanish peninsula, but the border to "France" was that of Portugal. In the center, I saw Romania (or was it Poland?!) and numerous small countries (5× Andorra).
Sardinia was still stuck to Italy.
I remember blue and red infills for the countries, not much of the UI, but I couldn't decide between much land or access to the sea, fiddling around with the white cursor (I was playing this on Windows, supposedly).

Re: Weird Dream Thread
I once had a rather frightening dream about weird flying creatures that were trying to eat/kill my pet turtle.
The creatures looked like miniture pterodactyls or a small version of those four-winged flying creatures from the movie "The Mist" by Stephen king. They kept diving in on my turtle pecking it. I think one of them ate an eye, and another took his arms... I tried to stop them, didn't help much, it seemed.
Of course this was years ago, but it was so vivid...
And they say parents get nightmares about their children...

Some ?uestions for you:
1. Was it day or night when your pet turtle was attacked?
2. Was there any meteorological occurence concomittant with the attacks
(e.g. thunder, lightning, rain, snow, sleet, etc)?
3. Is your dream-pet a tortoise, turtle, or marine turtle, or a combination/hybrid?
4. Was the turtle already sickly or injured, or was it pretty much healthy?
5. Do you remember how many of these flying beasties were there? 2~3? A dozen or so? More than 20?
6. Were you physically separated from the pet turtle in any way?
(e.g. a fence, a window, a partial cage or enclosure)
6b. If you were physically separated, were you and your pet both inside, both outside, or inside -v- outside?
7. Did either the turtle or the flying beasties speak at all? If so, what did they say?
8. How did you try to stop the flying beasties? Get up close, or throw something at a distance?
9. Was the turtle eating anything before it was attacked?
10. Have you ever owned a turtle like that as a real pet?
11. has this dream recurred?
Mr Krov has had a dream about an alligator attacking and/or consuming various pets of his. Perhaps this has something to do with a perceived personal responsability that is being attacked/swindled away/otherwise destroyed (?)
Anyway, and interesting dream.

1. night
2. no
3. a terrapin... that is, a semi-aquatic turtle, specifically, a red-eared slider.
4. pretty much healthy.
5. in so far as I remember, about 5-8
6. Well there was the large glass tank, though in the dream that didn't really stop me from fending them off...
6b. as I said, he was in a glass tank, and we were both in my bedroom, I found my self able to "go through" the tank, and it had the T.A.R.D.I.S. effect of looking bigger on the inside, much bigger, oddly enough.
7. they did not speak, I didn't speak, I just fended.
8. up close and literally ripped them off what ever chance I got. In the same way one fends away seagulls from your food.
9. no
10. It's a dream about my real life pet.
11. no.
Re: Weird Dream Thread
Another game-dream (but it seemed so real. Google Glass, perhaps?)
Ok, I remember multiple fighting scenes, swords and shells. Got it? Ninja Turtles.
So, I've been entering a large building (mostly purple, silver, red and green).
I went into an elevator, and each floor means a new fight.
I remember fighting against Shredder, maybe the Foot Clan recruits.
I do not remember the Kraang (neither the 1987 version nor the 2012 version).
I do not remember companions.
I do not remember April, Casey or Irma.
I remember seeing Splinter from the back (2012 version with 2003-style surroundings).
The boss level was... fighting against the brainwashed 2003-style version of the TMNT as soon as I reached the highest floor. The floor hosted (empty?) containers for mutants (but I swear I saw a giant chinchilla inside one) and a giant, circular cistern or basin full of glowing, green mutagen.
The last thing I remember is fighting against Leonardo, jumping, doing an awesome backflip à la Matrix right above the mutagen pool.
Then I woke up.

Which is somewhat ironic, b/c for my one class, I gave an assignment to describe a movie or book made out of the "favorite" people & parts of other books/movies. A real king kamehameha mash-up.
Two students came up with a great idea for a DC/Marvel crossover (IMHO): The Joker vs. Wolverine (!).

Actually, the 80s version of Shredder actually had a violet cape. And I think I mixed all the TV versions of him ('87, '03, '12) into one creepy, lethal monster.Lambuzhao wrote: Sounds like the Shredder is taking decorating tips from the Joker.

Re: Weird Dream Thread
Apparently, conlanging makes people remember dreams more easily, the amount of detail with which you remember these dreams is unbelievable. I only remember glimpses of taking weird copper-colored buses and with me going to places which are supposed to be places i know, it's just that they are not. I always dream with buses and some other weird vehicles. I wonder what Freud has to say about that.
Re: Weird Dream Thread
Perhaps, but not necessarily so. You have to want to remember and/or train yourself to remember. Keeping some kind of papery thing (or I-Pad, whatever) near the bed to jot dreams down as soon as you wake up also helps.loglorn wrote:Apparently, conlanging makes people remember dreams more easily,
Lately, I haven't been able to recall a smidgeon of what I know I have dreamt. I'm extremely busy at work, and I take my work home, and the added fatigue screws things up a lot, personally.the amount of detail with which you remember these dreams is unbelievable.
But I try like heck to write even the little I can recall when I awaken. Also, sometimes we might have recurring dreams, which is sort of like cheating, I suppose
I only remember glimpses of taking weird copper-colored buses and with me going to places which are supposed to be places i know, it's just that they are not.
This is an interesting start. I'm going to ask you some questions. Don't worry if you may not remember all of the answers.
you can answer them or not. I'm only asking them to see if you can remember just a little bit more.
1) Are the bus(es) copper exterior or copper interior, or both?
2) Copper shines. How does the bus shine? By the light of the day, or in flickering passing lights at night?
3) To the oneiric you (the you within the dream), does the bus strike you as "weird" or "normal"?
4) Do you travel alone in the bus, or are you with someone?
5) Does the trip on the bus feel like one you do regularly, like going to school/work, or does it feel like you're visiting a "favorite haunt" you haven't been to in a while?
6) Is the bus crowded or sparsely populated?
7) Does the bus stop frequently (public transportation) or is it more like a charter bus?
8) In your dream, do you take more than one bus?
9) How long or brief does the trip seem to be within the dream?
10) Does anything happen on the bus/to the bus (a robbery, an accident) while in your dream?
11) has your oneiric self ever fallen asleep on the bus?
12) Do you remember paying to get on?
13) Do you remember looking out the window of the bus? Do you see outside the bus with the eyes of your oneiric self, or do you see your oneiric self looking on, from outside the bus?
More importantly, what do you have to say about thatI always dream with buses and some other weird vehicles. I wonder what Freud has to say about that.
Re: Weird Dream Thread
Nope. I have days where I can remember a dream (with this amount of details). And then follow many days where the tape's been wiped upon waking up.loglorn wrote:Apparently, conlanging makes people remember dreams more easily,

Re: Weird Dream Thread
I had quite a funny dream this night.
It’s school break so I go to my Physics teacher to pester my teacher because I don’t understand some stuff about centrifugal force while two friends of mine go to the toilet. The break ends, but we three are late to our Computer Science class. We open the door only to see our teacher duct-taping everyone to walls and tickling them with feathers.

- Me: Ew, my teacher!
Friend 1: Ew, she has feathers!
Friend 2: Ew, she’s tickling people!

I'd like to know the background story of this. *Totally bursts out laughing while eating*Click wrote:We open the door only to see our teacher duct-taping everyone to walls and tickling them with feathers.
And I've got some kind of legitimate "ending" for the game dream I posted earlier: So, I've done a backflip while Leonardo tries to stab me with his katanas. Right above the cistern full of ooze, I realize that I epically failed the backflip and fall straight into the lethal dishwater.
*Game over*, right?
Nope.

Re: Weird Dream Thread
I am sure about the exterior, don't really remember the color of the insides.1) Are the bus(es) copper exterior or copper interior, or both?
I dreamed with these buses a few times, as far as i can remember they were all during day.2) Copper shines. How does the bus shine? By the light of the day, or in flickering passing lights at night?
Completely normal. It is not just the bus that is copper-colored, the rest of the place is also metallic (it really feels like Asgard)3) To the oneiric you (the you within the dream), does the bus strike you as "weird" or "normal"?
As far as i remember i am alone.4) Do you travel alone in the bus, or are you with someone?
Never really thought about that, sometimes i have the feeling i am not even going anywhere.5) Does the trip on the bus feel like one you do regularly, like going to school/work, or does it feel like you're visiting a "favorite haunt" you haven't been to in a while?
The bus station is quite crowed but i don't remember any people inside the bus6) Is the bus crowded or sparsely populated?
It stops frequently (but i don't remember anyone getting in or out in such stops)7) Does the bus stop frequently (public transportation) or is it more like a charter bus?
Not really.10) Does anything happen on the bus/to the bus (a robbery, an accident) while in your dream?
Don't remember anything like that11) has your oneiric self ever fallen asleep on the bus?
No.12) Do you remember paying to get on?
It's weird, i can't quite figure out if it's first person of third person view, but i do see what's outside (and based on that i think my buses fly)13) Do you remember looking out the window of the bus? Do you see outside the bus with the eyes of your oneiric self, or do you see your oneiric self looking on, from outside the bus?
Don't really know what to think of all that
