[Loud Whispers]

We must go deeper

[Eric Blank]

Hugo, when you go to bed, you go to bed. Not sleep-text people on Skype whilst tripping balls.

I've had a dream recently where my family and all our pets were on a tropical island or something. Our ye olde sailing vessel was stuck in a reef, and I was supposed to go find something while dad fixed it. So I was then exploring a draugr ruin in the mountains, which may or may not have been freezing and snowy, and exited it at the top of a waterfall. This being a TES game suddenly, jumping into the pool at the bottom totally didn't hurt me at all. Then I found the locals, who as it turns out didn't like us at all.

 Lots of running and I was back on the beach, the boat was ready and now moored to a lovely new dock in a lagoon, and we could launch. As soon as we got all the freaking cats inside. They kept finding holes in the deck/cabin walls to climb out of, we kept trying to box them back into a crawlspace. It didn't work.

[WillowLuman]

Yeah, person I texted said I should go to a hospital. I'll just chalk it up to exhaustion + too much caffeine for now, and save further action for if it happens again without being sleep deprived.

I had a dream that I was a vampire, and I sucked a few peoples blood, it was kind of amusing they shriveled up, later I was outside and hovering about 30 feet or so above the ground when suddenly a rhino starts chasing me, why I was worried about a rhino when I was hovering 30 feet in the air I'll never know, but I quickly went inside and barred the door with furniture that didn't even exist before I placed it and tried to hide. I was successful. Later in the dream I gave someone their blood back, somehow the person was alright.

I also remember another dream, I was working at a restaurant, my boss was a small woman with purple eyes, near the end of the dream I saw a black creature with a small body, it had long massive hairs that looked like wheat, and its "legs" looked like a belt in the shape of a wheel. I tried to crush it but my foot wouldn't move, before I could attempt to crush it again it moved away from me very quickly, I just stared at if for awhile before I work up.

I remember something last night about... I think I went to a mall with a second-grader and his mom. While I was there, I bought a bunch of hats, including a cowboy hat and a green knit cap. Don't remember much else, though. :/

[Eric Blank]

It means you really need to find a snazzy new hat.

I can't even remember dreaming last night at all. Like usually I have a vague emotional impression of how the dream went if I can't remember anything directly, but tonight I'm utterly lost. Maybe I didn't.

edit - crazy dreams!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alright, so last night was a series of crazy dreams, all about being followed. First up I was in a scrap yard, there was like a flea market or hobo party going on. folks all over the place. Suddenly everyone starts running in terror and searching for cover. I take cover in a broken down old car wedged between two other piles of junk just as a wave of aerated water and debris smashed into it. Once the wave had passed, I crawled back out and lo and behold, anyone who hadn't found cover was gone, presumably dead. There was no water or anything anywhere, some junk got shifted around, but other than people missing/crushed into things it was as if nothing had happened.
There as a woman living in an old cargo container I was walking by when I dropped my stuff and took cover. She had nabbed my stuff while the place was being "flooded" and locked it inside with her and a couple friends. While waiting they had decorated her container with my gifts for my mother. They opened the door at one point and before they could close it again I ran in and started repacking my bags to the sounds of angry old women howling. Somehow they had bolted the TV I got onto the wall of the container with rounded cabochon style bolts that cant be removed. I ended up leaving the TV base behind and just taking the electronics with me.
My car had only been smashed against the objects next to it a little bit, no worse than what the deer already did to it, so I just went to school. There I stored everything in a locker with the vague feeling that the cops would be looking to talk to me about the incident. Class got out and returning to my locker, I find the door was left open. Fortunately everything seamed to be there and I went home. However, instead of the wooden plaques I had bought for mom, there was only a bag of papers. I didn't realize this until now, typing it up, actually.

Other dream was about being literally a wanted man, trying to escape from the cops, by running through the sewers like a lost rat. Always having to go deeper, finding another level of older sewers/subway tunnels to run through just as the cops would find me. Eventually I did find a way out, but the cops had set up there and were deploying a one-man helicopter to search the larger tunnels. I almost got spotted by the pilot as he was first taking off, but he ended up going down the tunnel in the other direction. I snuck out of the sewers into the brush, and found myself on the coast. Still had to keep running, hiding in crags. Eventually the cops did give up, or were looking for me somewhere else, and I continued down the coast unmolested for a while.

Last dream was something about being hunted by Alduin in a weirded out variant of the Tamriel worldspace. I had run farther north than should have been possible. There werent mountains about, just canyons running between mesas. Towns were at every intersection. Every time Alduin would find me, I would 'kill' him, but of course he'd get back up at some point. Had no skin/scales, either. Fun being hunted by a slimy, oozing skinless dragon, yeah? Guards were also looking for me in the south, I had made some enemies whilst trying to escape, I was barely outrunning the wave of news of whatever I had done and always forced to keep moving.

[Rubidium]

I had a dream where I got a new car that was as long as a van.

[nomoetoe]

I had a dream, I think I was living on some weird version of earth, Australia was located where Africa should be and Russia surrounded it.
I was at my house but instead of being in town it was in the middle of some plains/swamp region, only one other building in sight. I eventually realized it was a dream so I asked the person with me about it, we talked about the possibility that I'm not dreaming and that real life was the dream.

At the end of the dream things turned ASCII, I was viewing what looked like dwarf fortress, someone was in a coffin and they were trying to get out, the dream ended shortly after the person's escape from the coffin.

I dreamed a dream. Not a silent dream, but it is interesting that I haven't actually figured out how ambient noise works when it comes to dreaming. But it was a lucid dream; one that I was finally able to trigger for myself after looong time.

Spoiler: Dream (click to show/hide)

First everything was sort black. They hypnogogic phase. This lasted only about perhaps 5 seconds before I begin to hear/create a little bell ditty. Another 5 seconds later, and I see a young boy. My first instinct is to duck down and give him a short piggy back ride in what appeared to be my old living room. It was fun. Then the phone rang, and it was the horror movie villain known as, The Scream, saying that he wanted the boy. Mentally, I was like "Haha! Jokes on you, this boy is actually a girl!" And lo. I took the kid, twisted him around, and he was now a girl instead. I take her outside.

This seemed to have triggered someone else wanting the boy/girl. Once more mentally, I thought "Haha! Jokes on you, this girl is actually androgynous!" And lo. I tossed the kid further out into the yard and he was no longer of either gender. And also now slightly more tan for whatever reason. This apparently attracted back The Scream. As he runs across the lawn, I quickly rub my hands to sort of keep things going. He stabs me and I'm forced to back off a bit. I decide that best way to defeat him is to activate Dream Wizard powers, so I float into the air and summon a flamethrower from my hands. He died shortly afterwards and all was good.

So I floated up further into the sky and got ready to fly towards town when the scene dissolved into black. Being a murder hobo dissolves dreams I guess.

So it was short. But I was able to learn a few small things. One, I can trigger Lucid Dreams while laying on my side. This is bigger than I had thought, since I had assumed that I would always fall asleep too quickly on my side and always attempted to trigger it from laying on my back instead. The second, is that I can judge the onset of a lucid dream by how shallow my breath is becoming. Once my body begins taking breaths that seem much too shallow for my waking body, it becomes apparent that now is the time that my body finally decides to give up the ghost.

[...]It was a lucid dream; one that I was finally able to trigger for myself after looong time.[...]

Lucid dreamer high five ._.
Mine seems like I can do it in-part during the dream, every dream...or 'when I feel like it', though.

But I'll cross-post from the Terrified Thread.

Had a nightmare, where a really big spider was falling on my face, I dodged it and walked out of the room. There was a second spider there, which turned into a black cockroach and started flying around. I grabbed a glass cup and caught the monster under it. It turned into a plastic cup and promptly got shredded, at which point I woke up.

I've been noticing--through memories of years gone by--that in the recent...twenty months or so? I have had no 'nightmares' where the usual horror exists, but...more 'spider' filled "nightmares" and always spider-filled before waking up -_-

Details include very...strange spiders, not like the ones in reality (and the huge compendium of spider species...). Spider-like in shape, and able to spin webs. Never the jumping spider type (just able to...scuttle very fast). And usually always near me.

Of course, none tried to attack me...but just being near them and always being able to observe them (in very fine detail) gave me unease, at times, and at other times, just woke me up with the sense that there's webbing all around me.

...That isn't something I've learned to work with in dreams. -_-

Use your brain powers to turn them into bunnies.

I had a dream night before last about me and a friend handling a giant tarantula that had spun a web between two parallel sticks. After putting it down, I started being chased by it all around the room. I tried to escape, I hid in the rafters, but it followed me up, and once up there, it leapt up onto my face, literally jumping 3+ feet like a headcrab, prompting me to wake up.
