Last night was the first time in while that I was actually woken up by a dream.
I dreamed that I was in a sort of cavernous mine type thing, who knows how deep underground. Occasionally there is a strange creature, but I shoot it with an unknown weapon. I've been watching a lot of Binding of Isaac videos lately, which showed in that I was looking for something hidden behind a wall. It was something that started with an s, I think it might have been called the Silo, but I can't quite remember. Eventually I tap on a wall, and it collapses inwards. I step into the gap, and find myself on a wooden platform, with a ragged edge. Looking down, I see the cavern continue into the darkness, and the walls are studded with crystals and streaks of gold. There's some rats, but my logic, which now is a combination of dream and video game logic, tells me that they are the easiest foes I can face. I'm getting ready to jump down, when I feel the sort of same sense of dread that I get often in dreams. As usual, I jump down anyway, trip on the landing, and fall face down. I flip back over, and the cave is completely different. Up until then, the area was lit up by an unseen light source, as is common in video games. Now, it is extremely dark and I can't see anything. The wooden platform, which was about seven or eight feet up when I jumped, is now only about one or two feet from the ground, so I don't have room to get up. I can barely move, and then I see the rats begin to gather. They start approaching slowly, one by one, and I kick at them. They begin to bite at my feet, which for some reason don't have shoes anymore. The bites are now taking out small pieces of skin and flesh, and I am now scared enough to wake up.
I'm not normally scared of rats, but the idea of being unable to move while small animals slowly nibble me to death is rather terrifying.

Apparently "rain is called coal, and it is the softest form of snow", according to the weird dream I just woke up from.
Only other part I can remember was myself taking the role of a space marine and blasting some red daemons.

I have some vague memory of a dream involving two simultaneous timelines of the same series of events at once. Too confusing to think about right now, I'll sleep on it.

In my dream i was, with the help of my friend, blowing the hell out of specific vehicles on the road for reasons unknown to me. Usually using carmageddon tactics. However one person in her car finally disabled my destruct-o car and we intended to take her out on foot the next time she passed by.

As we were setting up our trap (conveniently right outside my house) the people who lived across the street began robbing my friend. With the woman up close and her husband at a distance. I saw this but couldn't get to my rifle (that i apparently had) and so did the only thing i could think of and threw my steel helmet at her. Against all odds it hit her right in the face with a satisfying clang/thunk noise and flew back to me.

She was naturally rather angry about that and so while my friend ran like hell, her and her husband began trying to shoot me. I dove behind the nearest house and planned to ambush her when she passed by chasing my friend and probably kill her with my helmet. But she saw it coming and stayed away from the corner. I managed to dodge a few shots but things were looking bad when out of nowhere my dog jumped at her and attacked. He jumped away and she shot him in the back which enraged my and caused me to charge at her helmet in hand. She shot me but it did nothing, since i was unbelievably pissed about her shooting my dog and intended to kill her. Then i woke up.

I still have no idea why they robbed my friend or why we were destroying specific vehicles or why my helmet seemed to function as a boomerang.

So, me and two friends (guy and his girlfriend) got lost in Auchan supermarket and began to notice odd and demonic things happening - large dolls with googly eyes which began to turn and look at us or hooded guys watching us from between the aisles.

I had this adventure book called 'The Coming of Al-Taro, Death of Atlantis' with me so I began to read it and surprise surprise, it was about young children from Atlantis locked in big shop. We then found out that the store was already closed for the night but not everyone left. There was Vladislav, a 40yrs old father with mustache and big arms; there was John, a black-skinned tourist from US, and an elderly couple and there were some other people which I don't remember anymore.

We tried to turn on a computer so we could send an email calling for help but it fried and we couldn't call for help so we decided to just use the wending machines in the offices to get food. Alas, the machines began to spit our money as burnt, molten slag which further implied demonic forces in the works. After some time, I got to the Chapter 2 of the book and that's where a girl called Annie appeared to the main protagonist. Lo and behold, we find Annie the red-head and her nerdy boyfriend in the foodstuff section of the shop, eating dinner.

So we talked and we got some more premonitions about Taro, including a demonic laughter when we approached section with... gay romance novels. We didn't go there but that was the moment which struck me with certain idea, so I've began to read my adventure book very carefully. It was very similar to what was happening to us so I began to flip the book few chapters each and soon, just like kids in the book, we have met Pazan the Satyr who explained to us that Al-Taro is Death and kills all whom he shows up to and that the mall is haunted.

Apparently I fell asleep from exhaustion and have a dream about making a game in RPG Maker XP where my soldier guy delves into some caves and then into pyramid to face his fears and destroy some god but in the end he and Pazan (who was in the game too) got horribly murdered in some wonky crystal cave. I woke up in the mall again because I was hungry.

Pazan then takes us to the gay romance novels sections and suddenly Al-Taro appears (your usual grim reaper). Pazan screams, falls to the floor and melts into puddle of tar as Al-Taro dissappears with laughter. By that time there was like 8 or so people locked in the mall including an elderly couple of christians who somehow procured several two-litre bottles of holy water? Anyways; that was the moment in which I simply flipped to the end of the book to check what happens... Apparently we're all gonna die because Al-Taro will flood the mall with demons and hellhounds and what have you, at midnight. So I gathered everyone and explained to them that we have to die but we're not gonna make it easy for Death to get us.

We began to make barricades in the 'lost and found luggage' section, and stock on holy water and bladed weapons (this was Poland and thus no guns, but John pulled out a big-ass shotgun out of his hoodie somehow). Unfortunately Vladislav went mad, locked himself in intercom office booth and set himself on fire. We all heard his screams.

We had pretty impressive barricades made from cardboard boxes and plastic chairs and candy floss bags, and just in time; midnight happened with lots of church bell heard outside the store, but unlike we've hoped, the demons began to appear not at the mall's doors, but in the very inside of our barricades; cheating bastards. John gunned few before getting his head and spine pulled out of his body. My friends and elderly couple and other people didn't last long either, the blades not doing anything to the devils and holy water only sizzling them a bit.

The last thing before waking up I remember is that I crawled in blood, along the shiny tiled floor of the market and didn't feel anything lower than my chest so I guess I was ripped in half and crawling around in shock.

That's when I woke up.

I can remember a few elements of the dream from occurrences/thoughts yesterday (such as my hate of buzzcuts), but I have no idea what could have caused a nightmare, save for my attempts to create myself a sleeping ' schedule'...

Occasionally I have this crazily vivid dreams which tend to make sense by an internal logic. This one was the weirdest so far, but it's still interesting.

I noticed the gamer part of me. I killed three people (Well, one gorilla) in a situation that could have been a nightmare. I did have a sense of panic and worry throughout it.

I was a Indestructible automaton. I had killed my maker and destroyed his lab.
I was then on top of a big van with a group of people, I was being annoying so they kicked me off the van. I got up and ran on the air back to the van and jumped on and started laughing about how I ran on air.

They didn't really care, so we got in the vehicle (it was bigger on the inside) and did stuff.
We were then in a gym talking about stuff then we had a problem with a super insect robot infestation.

After sometime of being scared and complaining I was sent in to kill them I at first had trouble killing them with my weapons (because I couldn't aim at all) but after I got one a bunch of them came out I killed them.then  I saw a big one but it evaporated.

Then I was with some people apparently I replaced someone to infiltrate America. We were outside and there were zombies attacking.
I was shooting them they were hard to kill I think I killed just one, but we got in our vehicles and headed to mount Rushmore. I could see it in the distance even though it was several hundred miles away. then I woke up. :D

I dreamed I was hired as an elite navigator for an old wooden sailing ship through a hazardous route. Not knowing how to use a sextant (or even being confident in my ability to identify one on sight), I used it to draw perfect circles. Then I started rolling dice and calling out the numbers.

I had a dream that Toady One released the newest version today.
My line of thought went as follows:
Woo! New release! It's here!
...I'll have to wait until work to actually try it, though.
... ...And now I lost that bet with the map.

And then I woke up.

I had a dream involving an isolated town in a post-apocalyptic Deep South where the townspeople had to go on a daily routine of cutting back the rapidly-encroaching sentient mutant kudzu around the town. Eventually, they organized a party to find the origin of the mutant kudzu and it turned out to be a computer created by the TVA to regulate electricity distribution. Something about the computer now controlling the sentient kudzu through a computer-plant interface of some kind. Then it turned out the "computer" was actually a Fat Sweaty Southerner in a White Suit cryogenically frozen inside some kind of computer-interface pod.

I had a dream a month or so ago. The only part I remember about it is apparently reading some article on the internet saying that some organization found an alternate universe where some olm-frog hybrid creature existed and Yugoslavia won war with Slovenia in 1992 or something like that. And that's all I remember about it, really.

I have been involved in a long running moth extermination attempt that has carried on from 2013 to now. I have killed so many that I can even now catch rogue moths with just one hand under moonlight.
So what better dream to have than a dream where all moths are the size of dogs and possess claws and arms they use to try dismember you with in your sleep?

Last night I had a dream where my house was being attacked by woodland animals, bear and wolves and crap.
They were all made out of liquid containers, like milk jugs, shampoo bottles, etc.
And that's about all I remember.
