A strange few fragments recalled by me, this morning.  I was tasked to deal with some terrorists, I think, so (after a lot of other stuff going on) I snuck in there with a special gun.  (Ammo was like CR2032 batteries, only filled with explosive and short fine filaments, I think it was supposed to be a "needler gun", that could somehow fire some of the filaments from each 'case'.)

Unfortunately, my wife (I think it was supposed to be) came along, as did the kids (again, I think they were supposed to be mine).  And just like you find kids running around in supermarkets, they were running around the terrorist camp-type-thing, only the terrorists were stupid and/or blind because they didn't have a problem with the kids (and possibly also some pets!) running around.  And I successfully stated hidden despite being just behind a counter/table and trying to make sure the kids weren't running amok too much, or my wife doing non-"infiltrate the enemy camp"-type things too much.

So I took one of these "bullets" apart in order to create the thing that would kill all the terrorists.  It broke into flakes of (filament-impregnated) explosive bits that wouldn't go back together again, no matter how hard I tried (even if I could have done, it was now also now more like a laterally-broken rice-cake than a button-cell, but that's dream-physics and logic for you).

At some point my partner (professional partner, in anti-terrorism/whatever, who must have been the token "actually there to do the job" representative amongst my rather familial party) seems to have managed to make the bomb that was needed, because after a lot of farcical kid-retrieving and sneaking and things I found myself the last person hidden in the heart of the terrorist camp (the others may have left in a camper-van) and picked up a piece of artificial cheese (it was toy-like and made of rubber or something, and was a fairly classic cheese-shape, with hints of being an Emmental wedge, in the usual obvious 'cartoony' way...) that was very hot to the touch.  I then realised this must be the bomb and might be no far from exploding (It may also have had a timer on it), and quickly put it back where I found it (or at least idly tossed it back into its hiding place) to do its job.  I don't recall the explosion actually happening while I was dreaming, though.

I think my brain is over stimulated so my dreams are always gibberish that I can never remember. It's like all the thoughts I've had in the back of my head that day have crashed together into a mess that is completely impossible to understand, yet makes perfect sense at the time. Whenever I wake up they're gone forever.

For a long time (since the very early days of DOS, at least), I've always likened dreams to being glimpses of stored conceptual information from the prior day that the brain is moving around while "defragging" itself.

(Not that I remember seeing any Emmentaler cheese yesterday.  Or terrorists or bombs. or wife and kids of my own...  But it probably all came from somewhere.)

So, I dreamed last night that I was aboard a starship, which I presume to be the USS Enterprise-D since Data was there.  I remember him telling me the "ship was not going to make it" to wherever we were going, which I intuitively knew meant it was going to explode.

Then the tarantula in the corner of the room ate the toad that was also there, because it knew it had nothing left to lose.  I also knew this intuitively.

Then the ship exploded.

I did awesome stuff in a world not unlike the one in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and it was good. It was only when I woke up that I remembered that when ET came to my door, wanting to get in, with burn marks all over them, I left him out to die in the cold. And he did. ... Oops?

My developing fever caused me to experience a can of mystical images. Let's get started.

First scene was about me and Criminy (Sinfest character) going to typical highschool in US. We were checking the rules list to make sure we don't do anything bad when suddenly people started carrying guns. We ask Johnson (the Janitor) who quickly turns to be school president, and he is carrying guns. Then we look around and everyone is carrying guns. We check the rules; '#6 rule: be nice to girls' was changed to '#6 rule: carry guns for safety'.

Then I was on the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: Original Series, and janitor Johnson was there. He was revolting against current Captain (whoever it was) and using the same guns he captured the ship and shot me because I was 'unwanted element'.

After that, I woke up. It was Wednesday and as always in my dreams, I was late for classes. On my way there (I teleported to the bus!), I've met my old old classmate whom I haven't met in 5 years. We took a ride, he developed a moustache during the ride and when we got to the university, I decided to run away up the hill.

From the hill, I jumped down the maintenance ducts and went into Captain's room of USS Enterprise. The revolt was revolting on itself, and Johnson the Janitor got himself shot, with few of his buddies killed in friendly fire. Klingon battlecruiser that was attacking Enterprise wasn't helping their situation either. Of course this was dangerous so I ran through maitenance corridors and left the place, emerging in some castle. I've met emperor Uriel Septim (dunno which one), who was very polite. I've scouted the corridors and after finding several rooms coated in vanilla plush, I've leaned on a secret door and tumbled through a staircase onto edge of fine arching brdige over a chasm.

There was a robed body. I've approached it and was welcomed by some grimdark wizard. He was floating over the chasm, had a skull-face, and offered me gold and power. I've accepted, ran through the exit and ended in an autumn forest, where I met feline-girl in robe, surprisingly similar to the robe of the dead person at the chasm.

She asked me if I want to sleep with her to prolong her family line. I said 'sure', then I added 'wait, I'm gay!'. She replied with 'Yeah, that's your biggest problem.'

And then I finally woke up.

In my latest dream my grandfather gassed an art gallery full of people with several canisters of phosgene (for some reason). I was travelling along with him during the attack trying to talk him out of it (I've failed).
I asked him when we were escaping in a getaway vehicle: "Why did you kill all those people? Did they do something wrong to you? He told me "Oh, do I look like I care?". I woke up immediately after that.
Also, for some extremely odd reason when I was waiting for my grandfather to pick up all the gas canisters, I've bumped into Atreyu from The Never Ending Story. He was emitting a overwhelming aura of kindness and happiness.

I dreamt that I was attacked by an army of 1 550 dwarves, and that I managed to beat them all up with just a pencil. Then a squirrel appeared and exploded, which destroyed the entire planet. Then I found myself on another planet similar to Earth in many ways, apparently it was 50 times bigger than Earth. Every single person there was wearing gas masks for some reason, and as I'm terrified of those things, I ran through thousands of walls just to escape, when I was captured by guards for being a human. Then they took me to a prison cell in a castle, and I was about to be executed when the princess (who didn't wear a gas mask) ordered the guards to not kill me, but set me free.

After I was set free I quickly leapt out of the window, only to find that I was literally 5000 feet up. I fell down so fast that the moment I hit the ground, I caused a massive earthquake. Yet I survived. I got up, and had to climb a cliff that I caused when I hit the ground. I wasn't even hurt. The moment I reached the top, the princess (this time wearing a gas mask) dragged me all the way into a labyrinth, and told me that there's a giant cat-monster-thing in a machine who wants to destroy the place and that, if I was able to survive a 5000-feet fall, I should help her out and fight the monster. She gave me a sword, and I ran as quickly as I could to get away from her, killing several giant roaches just by running by them. Then I found a giant machine that tried to kill me, so I threw the sword at the ceiling and waited for it to crush me. It exploded into several thousand dwarves. And then a squirrel appeared again. And then it exploded.

Then I woke up.

I dreamt that I was in the middle of High School, (Which for some reason was in no format I remember), and hearing a rumor that there was an orange cat in the school that someone just dropped off, saying that they didn't want the cat anymore. Since this was dream world, it made perfect sense for me to go pick it up and take it to my house.  Next thing I knew, I was in my brother's room when my bed was in it (We used to share a room). I was dropping off the cat, praying that It wouldn't make any noise until school ended and I could find an excuse to keep it, when my Mom went to use the bathroom. The bathroom is right outside the door, so I ended up hiding under one of the beds with the cat. Next thing I knew once more, I was in my PE clothes listening to a PE teacher I haven't seen in years.

Then I woke up. I think my dream was telling me that I really want a cat, but I already know that!

The last nightmare I had, which was a week or two ago, involved me getting bludgeoned with a spiked baseball bat at a recycling center while someone jabbed me with dirty needles filled with heroin. I for some reason thought I was in HellMOO despite having not played that game seriously for at least half a year now.

I don't remember any good dreams I've had recently except the one where I had sex with my character from Morrowind - [REDACTED] - and the one where I had sex with my Mabinogi character - [EXPUNGED].

...Why are all of my dreams involving me either being murdered or me getting laid? I'm serious, is there an oneiromancer or a therapist in the house who can explain this to me?

-edit- PG is worst rating.

So, last night I was up at 1 in the morning watching the MLP episode from saturday because I didn't want no spoilers during the week. Then I went to sleep and had the most messed up dream which referenced ponies like twice. Why can I not appreciate the irony when I'm actually asleep?

I love that your fevered subconscious has a sarcastic sense of humour. All that scene needs is a laugh track and you got yourself a sitcom.

--------

Last night I was in this sorta half-state of consciousness were I seemed to be plotting the best strategy for my (latest) ship in FTL:Faster Than Light. It was interesting, half the time I seemed to be thinking how best to upgrade my ship, and the other time I was ordering my crew to "Redistribute power from the engines to the weapons!" "Power up the lasers!" "Launch the FTL Drive!""Ramirez! Repair the Oxygen System before we all suffocate, and look out for the giant alien spiders, those things aren't a joke!" and so on and so forth.

It didn't feel like I got a whole lot of sleep though, since my brain seemed more concerned with piloting a fictional video game ship than actually sleeping. Odd part was I was even aware that it was a game. I wasn't lucid dreaming, more like I knew that I was "playing" (read:dreaming about) a game and was even seeing the game as it would appear on my monitor.

I seem to get these flashbacks of scenarios from games after a gaming binge. One time after I played Halo 1 for 6 or so hours straight, I went to sleep and thought I was still playing, heh.
