The Dreams Thread

Asshole brain gives us a shitty dream about having to deal with upsetting topics again. Cool cool fuck off.

I had a couple of strange ones last night.

One where I got angry at my dad because he wanted me to watch something he found on YouTube, to the point of forcing me to. It was some sort of crossover short film that was about 10 mins long IIRC and I calmed down after I started actually watching it.

The other main one was part of a trailer for a new Captain Underpants thing, even though I know next-to-nothing about it. It started with Captain Underpants on a bike with a seatbelt on,, but he had some kind of navy and white coat on. The narrator (who had a masculine voice) commented about this... by saying he was playing too safe, bemoaning something like "is this the future of Captain Underpants". This cued him to change into (what my brain thought was) his iconic outfit, which was some kind of white tank top covering his body and a red cape. Then his bike started flying, revealing a castle. It had a large tower with Bowser's emblem on it, along with the icons of Teams Valor, Instinct and Mystic from Pokemon GO on the walls. There was an outside area with statues of Calyrex riding various Pokemon, including Xerneas and a spiky thing that I assume was Glastrier.

Recently, there's been a time early in the morning when I can't sleep, then I eventually settle back down and have strange dreams. This one was oddly coherent and self-contained.

Part of it showcased a volcanic landscape for a brutal bonus Pokemon Mystery Dungeon dungeon. The background looked similar to that of Grumble Volcano. The dungeon had 999 floors. The opening cutscene for the dungeon shows that even making it to base camp is tough, with the team eventually using a zip-wire to get there. There was a miniature volcano (only about ten metres tall) that was spewing rapidly-cooling lava in an early area. To top it off, there was a mini-boss fight on floor 767, against a team composed of a Charizard, an Aggron, a Salamence and a Metagross, with either Charizard or Aggron being the leader, but I think it was Charizard. You're fully healed and stuff before the fight (which I think was the case for boss fights in the real games anyway), and if you defeat them, you can recruit them all at once immediately.

There was another part that showed that Kricketot and Bidoof were amongst the player and partner Pokemon possible. The save file involving them got deleted because the team had a bad name.

My headcanon for the miniboss team is that they're also a team of explorers who tried to brave and

conqueras in to get through, not take over

 the area, but got stuck on the floor you meet them at.

Last night I had a dream in which some pets of ours got out, including some

geckos, snakesthat we do have

, and

axolotlsthat we don't have

. I ended up running around, trying to catch some, and ended up holding the cutest pink axolotl ever. Then I woke up.

I remember having a dream a couple of nights ago in which Harry Potter was announced for Super Smash Bros. I didn't react well to it in the dream.

If you add a y on the end of that it changes everything.

Had an odd sort of dream where I was chatting with a friend on Discord. Unfortunately, however, it started to bug and suddenly I ended up texting them as one of my other friends, which summoned them onto that chat. Then the other friend I was originally chatting with got utterly confused before another bug brought another one or two of my friends on, and soon it kind of turned into a group chat with only one person listed for absolutely no reason other than that it's the original friend. I might post a simulated image of these conversations, as I have actually memorized their icons for some reason.

Weird dream wherein I was late to a thing and couldn't go by car because a serial killer had used mine to display some decapitated bodies and thus it was cordoned off by police, (because apparently the serial killer had a thing for displaying bodies in the front seats of cars and stole cars to do that) and the other was overfull with people having to ride in the trunk. Also Whistle was apparently in town and I knew this somehow despite never actually seeing her anywhere.

In the dream I was more annoyed than shocked that there were two dead people in my car preventing me from going places. So apparently dream me gives zero fucks.

If I had a nickel for every time someone outside of my family had a dream where I was there, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's very weird that it happened twice.

I dreamed the YIAY thread on TVT was locked because it kept referencing a problematic McDonald's commercial. I don't remember why it was problematic.

I love the one dream I had last night. In it, there was this new addition on my antiques shop that had a bunch of KETS for adoption. They were running around and there were blankets and pillows and stuff for them. Anyway of course I went in there because, well, kets. I ended up taking one of them home, a silver-and-white fluffy tabby cat named Puff. And then Puff and Dusty became good friends and were cuddled up together purring. There were also a couple of calico cats and a little black cat and several orange cats, but I didn't get to adopt any more of them before I woke up.

I love it when I have dreams about cats.

I had a dream last night in which Phoenix Wright was in SSBU, but played very similarly to Kazuya, to the point of being a near-reskin of him. (IIRC they have similar hair) Phoenix's Final Smash was completely different, as it was a close-range attack initiated with a kick, and you could immediately try again if you missed the first time. One significant difference was the fact that his 10-hit combo ended in a diagonally-upward Monado stab in front of himself. This was all demonstrated on the Bridge of Eldin map.

I am copypasting these from where I posted them in Discord because wtf brain.

dream 1: Somehow I was looking to buy a house and I found one that was like... really cheap. Like "I can put a big down payment" cheap. And it seemed to be nice but I kept worrying that something was wrong with it like bad plumbing or faulty wires or toxic mold or it was haunted or something and I was wondering why the previous owner had left Halloween decorations and books there. Anyway the previous owner turned out to be this really nice lady who had a lot of money already and was moving to Europe and just wanted to get rid of the house before she left or something, I think she expected someone to buy it and flip it or something. She said I could keep the books. Anyway it turned out we both love cat memes so we were exchanging email addresses to send each other cat memes. We were writing these on the backs of velcro strips because we couldn't find paper (and I guess didn't want to use the books that were in the house? or our phones?). Anyway I was starting to write mine down but couldn't remember it so I went to look it up and came back to see Danganronpa references written by where I was trying to remember my email. So I wrote down the actual email (which... was nothing even close to my actual email) and then I woke up.

dream 2: Okay so for some reason I was an actual Broadway star in this dream instead of just playing one in murdergames and decided to do The Masked Singer for fun. I had some sort of Snow Queen costume I think. And I sang all these songs that were... decidedly not Broadway-ish at all and thought for sure I'd get guessed correctly after singing a Melissa Etheridge song (which I was) BUT... I ended up winning!
BUT!!! When they did the unmasking it wasn't me in the costume it was some little girl who had cancer and the Make-a-Wish foundation granted her "win The Masked Singer" wish, where she'd come out at the end in whatever costume the winner had to get unmasked. And they kept putting all these different filters on her to change her age and gender and race and stuff and I was secretly glad they unmasked some random unknown kid instead of putting the filters on me because I thought they'd cancel me on social media for that.
Anyway later they said I was the real winner and I came up to sing a song (which was, for some weird reason, from My Fair Lady)

Recent dream had me playing what was supposed to be an arcade version of Muse Dash, while it had the same characters with new character variations (at least for Rin, didn't see the others), the gameplay was nothing like the actual gameplay and was instead a vertical lines going down-type rhythm game. For some songs, various characters and images would show up on the notes, I remember pixelart Vocaloid(?) characters and heads of some cartoon characters I think were made up for the dream

[Whistle]

Had a dream that I was a groupie for Mötley Crüe of all people, and that there was some video that got broadcast live that mocked them, and then when I was following them to their show they were all blowing raspberries at them or something.

[Whistle]

Had a dream that "Her Majesty" was a hidden track on the Voyager Golden Record. Carl Sagan was a little peeved that EMI wouldn't let him put "Here Comes the Sun" on there, so he snuck "Her Majesty" at the end of the Cavatina with about the same silence as on Abbey Road, just for a little "screw you."

Listen to a mock-up here.

[Whistle]

Had a dream that I was in bed with Mom, and she left. I looked at texts from her (actually real) new boyfriend, just as evidence for myself to actually prove that she was cheating on my Dad. I actually don't remember much else from the dream, except that I may have had a girlfriend or two, and maybe I ended up in Hawaii with Dad... but it didn't feel good.

My god, my mental state has been on a decline...

I was in a big shopping mall for some reason and at one point I was in a shoe store putting some baby shoes back on a shelf and ended up entering a contest for... I don't know what,  I think it was to win money?

and then I went into this big dollar/discount store because I thought they might have some cat treats for dusty and when I was in the pet section I saw these small bags of rainbow aquarium gravel and I was taking pictures of them to share because of

a murderverse in-jokebasically Private Skittles from tankmen being called "Rainbow Aquarium Gravel" among other funni names

.

At least parts of the dream were actually plausible this time but I'm just envisioning these other confused people in the store wondering why someone is taking pictures of rainbow aquarium gravel.

This was probably a fever dream, considering I'm recovering from a cold or hay fever at the time of writing.

I had a dream in which I was fused with Steven Universe, and we were going to visit a Mooshroom Island from Minecraft. I think the Diamonds were in the dream at some point. There was also a tidbit about a version of NetHack which had a swampy area in which if you went too far over a bridge near the right-hand edge of the screen, you fall off the edge of the world and die. There was a description about "jumping over your last meal" or something.

so last night I dreamed that someone joined Trouble Cube with no avatar and "shed" in the pronouns field. Originally thought to be a spambot (since those are known for either not filling the pronouns or putting gibberish in) this person turned out to be an actual person. And then everyone was speculating whether this was someone who used "shedself" pronouns or someone who meant to put "she" and typoed it.

I woke up before this mystery was solved.

[Whistle]

I dreamed that I and some classmates were going to interview Saddam Hussein or something.

[Whistle]

Does anyone remember that one animated movie called _Howard_ whose climax somehow makes a giant Lego Statue of Liberty stepping on tiny burning Lego men one of the most terrifying sequences in film? Like, it was about someone deciding to be overly cruel in video games or something.

I had a dream that in Kirby and the Forgotten Land (which I haven't played or even seen), you had to delete your save data after completing your first playthrough, but there was a content warning on the back of the box explaining this. There was also a feature in which you could collect items for decoration.
