I used to keep a dream journal.

One involved riding a space train full of aliens that stopped on different worlds. Some dumb tourists got off on one and suffocated to death in a hostile atmosphere.

Last week I dreamt I was in a Mission Impossible movie (a new one), and Ethan Hunt and I had to gather all the green paint in town. I woke up before I found out what the paint was for.

Previously, I dreamt that Jason Bourne was on a space ship, trying to steal a shuttle, but before he could figure out the controls, I came along and flew off and he had to come out of hiding and gather soil samples with me.

I've been watching too many spy movies.

Liberals finally had it with getting dunked on so they overthrew all governments but immediately the world devolved into a mad max hellscape with roving bands of raiders so pretty much everyone banded into little survivor tribes. We spent a lot of time hiding out in abandoned buildings and would talk about our old world politics but it was mostly a joke and we mainly just paired off and had sex etc.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

And you start to notice things around the room in your home are slightly different. Things aren't where you left them, and everything looks slightly "off". Words aren't spelled the same way on labels of things around the house, it's like a machine tried to replicate your life but could only get like 80% there correctly. That's usually the signal for me. I just ignore the shadow thing.

Then you wake up and you're sweating, and you have to look around at all the things that were different from before and confirm that you're in reality. It's pretty much living in a Freddy Krueger nightmare, but we do what we gotta do.

yeah when I have “nightmares” it’s usually just me going about mundane life tasks only gravity isn’t quite right and perspective is off, like reality hasn’t rendered correctly, and I feel slightly stressed like it’s a hectic weekday.

I mostly just ignore it and go about my “day” with an “Yeah I don’t have time for whatever is going on here” attitude

the other night some actual nightmare-y things happened, like people made growling monster noises at me, and I was entirely unimpressed and I said “ok this is obviously a nightmare and I’m not, fuckin’ 6 years old so just stop” and they got mad at me like “dude this is our job” and I was like “it’s not working, I have to get up and go to work myself in reality and i’m the one who pays the bills, remember?” and they got all sulky

I once had a dream that I was living in a big haunted house, kinda like the one from House on Haunted Hill, except the mansion had been subdivided and was more like an apartment building. Eventually all the ghosts scared all the tenants into the center of the estate, where a courtyard lay.

It was at that moment I realized "hey I think this is that house from that movie" and in that moment I understood I was dreaming. So I said to myself "well i'm just gonna fly out of here" and I soared above the courtyard, above the house and all around it was blackness, like the world wasn't rendered, like the outsideof a video game level. Then I woke up

Yep I also had one where I was apart of the 2nd wave of a colonial mission to a distant rocky planet, where moisture had only recently been discovered. When we arrived we found the first ship stripped sitting in a box canyon and there was a great deal of hastily assembled infrastructure around its rim, leading to shafts in the cliffsides that had been discovered. We followed on half and discovered zombified colonials and bailed, whereupon the colonial survivors started plinking at us from their position on the other side of the box canyon. This time I won though, we got to an escape pod and blasted out of the canyon to rejoin the colonyship we arrived on

As an aside, I've become something of an active dreamer after the haunted house one, so these aren't things that happen to me but scenarios I build when I'm able to have agency in the dream.

It took a long time for my brain to make guns work. I shoot as a hobby in real life but in my dreams the guns were impotent and forever changing.

one time I was in a cabin where I knew there would be zombie trouble so I "remembered" that I had some guns out in the truck, and when I went out there, the truck was empty. Instead of just letting the dream do its thing I said to myself "ah yes here they are" and then pantomimed taking them out and bringing them inside the cabin.

Later when trouble happened the guns and ammo were there and then the dream gets kind of hazy I think i killed a bunch of zombies until something i couldn't fix happened and i woke up

I only really had one short dream where I broke something by causing a real life integer overflow where I was jumping but some how causes my downward velocity to remain 10 but my y position wrapped from 16 to 0. This caused me to be permanently grounded since I was still considered to be falling but wasn't able to move downwards.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
last night I dreamt that all of the grassroots american political groups that came into prominence in the last few years owned food places inside the mall, in the area where the haagan-dazs used to be. I went to the drink place owned by the dsa because it looked the most like a functioning establishment, and also I was thirsty. they had one of those really unclear minimalist menus you see in boba places or unnecessarily hip stores that just say something like

quote:

crush
blueberry
cherry
orange
avocado
mango
snow
rose
peach
arugula
lime
tapioca ±$.50
and you have no idea how you're supposed to know what a crush is or how it could be "rose"... flavored?

I was going to ask, but it was only me and the employees inside, and for some reason it felt awkward that I didn't really know any of them. they were all hanging out in a loose circle on the other side of the counter, standing or sitting either on the floor or on a mix of improvised and actual furniture, and they were talking about a 90's animated slasher movie that, I somehow knew, they'd all watched the night before, in a barren room with an off-white shag carpet, on a tiny little white crt tv that was now sitting on the glass countertop playing a black and white vhs tape with really bad artifacting/tracking, and I understood the tv to be the same one that used to be on the counter at a particular store in japantown that was constantly playing old ultraman shows
a young woman, an employee, came out of the back room and saw me staring at a shiny metal appliance somewhere between a juiceman and an espresso machine surrounded by colorful plastic facsimiles of the sort of drinks it could presumably make, as well as another, smaller, unclear menu, all on the other side of the glass. she asked me if I'd been there before.
I said, "just twice," and she said, "so you haven't, really," and walked away
not knowing how to order but for some reason embarrassed to leave without buying anything, I stood there for like 15 minutes pretending to study all of the different kinds of drinks they had, waiting for them to get bored of their conversation so I could ask them how to order a slushy blue drink that I knew I saw earlier but couldn't remember where and was trying to find again

I dreamed me a and a couple guys were outside chatting about some strange happenings around town lately. I was laying on the ground playing with flowers for some reason. Anyway, some people are saying the strange happenings are caused by vampires. I read a lot of vampire books as a kid so I puff up since knowing all the rules for different types of vampires might finally be useful. "I've read every vampire book written in the last 500 years!" Then a vampire swoops down right in front of me! He says something, but I can't hear it over pounding of my heart.

I wake up, heart pounding, wondering what the vampire said. He was probably calling me a liar, because I definitely haven't read every vampire book written in the last 500 years. I haven't even read every vampire book written in english in the last 20 years. What a strange flex. What the gently caress, dream me?

I used to haved real intense ones but over time that's slowed down. Seems like they're coming back. Had one where I had a really hard time figuring out who in the dream I was

Started off with me holding some kind of vent tube, like the kind that are made out of plastic and you would hook to your dryer and have it blow outside the house to get rid of the moist hot air

except it was huge and I was outside aiming it over a wall towards a fox that was sitting in the snow and it was blowing cold black cinders all over it. There was something going on with it and it didn't look healthy at all. There were some other people around and we had to clear out creosote from chimneys or something and were using this rigged up system of air movers to just violently suck it out and blast it into the environment. After a few seconds the fox was not really down for this but didn't know where the cinders were coming from and kept looking around agitated and eventually ran

Some event happened with the air or the soil or something and we knew it would make you sick but were joking about it. Eventually went inside and ate weird generic corn chips and did shots and were talking about what it was that was loving people up. Came up with the theory that there was something in the vodka, like one of the kinds was purposely adulterated somehow with weird chemicals and not just the water table or whatever and we were drawing straws to figure out who would experimentally pound down this dangerous booze and become a hosed up mutant beyond what we were already, then everyone else would know what the deal was and could figure it out from there. Had a weird disease-eater vibe like when one person would sort of shamanistally take the pollutions off of the rest of the group, if you've ever heard of that poo poo.

But in reality I was actually on this grimy rear end suede couch and was watching this on tv. There was some kind of series on Netflix or w/e about these people in I think the Ukrane and it was about how the Russians invaded or whatever and everything got hosed up, but in reality it was about full extreme alienation. The actual main characters were these two chicks and one was some kind of artist and the other was in love with the first one but it wasn't happening

So I would go to this chick's house and watch it with her and it was a total hot couch situation where we would just watch these hosed up shows and chain smoke and drink coffee and get drunk. We would watch this show that was sort of like stranger things but sort of like dark, except it was a lot more grim, and we'd only talk in the gaps between episodes. Sometimes there'd be other people just randomly there or not there and her friends were all sort of offputting. Really she was too & the whole dream was full of these situations where everything was detached from everything else. Had a sense of looking at situations as if they were fully atomized and without context cause context wasn't real.

Last part was I missed the first few eps so I went back to them and it was primarily about those two chicks instead of the other characters. Eventually one was walking home along a canal that was full of trash and noticed there was a shadow moving in there alongside her and put her foot over the water. A big fish came up and bit her shoe and tried to pull her in but was too small and they were sort of deadlocked not really able to get out or pull the other one in.

The whole thing was so slick and weird how it shifted point of view I swear I could feel the fish teeth trying to get my foot but not making it through the leather at the same time I was laying on that grimy grey couch.

The other night Id been on the Korean food, cocktails and stout combo, so inevitably got the shits. I was so tired though that even while dropping my guts I was half asleep, the whole while convinced that I was pooping my life out of my rear end as a favour to one of the other inmates, as part of a greater scheme to escape. Like I was making GBS threads on behalf of another prisoner so they could steal some eggs undetected or something? I was having difficulty working out how me flaying my soul out of my sphincter could possibly help someone, and in a brief lucid moment thought "maybe it's just me making GBS threads because I need a poo poo?" Which I almost immediately laughed off as 'wishful thinking' (?!!??).
