So in a class I sit with a dude who is targeted by everyone, constantly getting mocked and I see him struggling to get into the collective but his nerdiness just does not allow him (he has no social awarness)

Now randomly in a dream, I end up bullying him and dragging him out of school in an attempt to beat him up.
I do not understand this at all.
The anti-bullying advertisers are on the psychic air waves, telling us that not doing anything to stop bullying is a form of bullying?
Don't know how right they are... And I'm sure IRL you do lots to help the guy, otherwise you wouldn't be so confused by the dream.

Yeah, this seems like a sort of Freudian guilt/anxiety dream, in my uninformed and unasked for opinion :P

Basically, you know the guy has problems, and you probably try to help him, or at least understand this, and that it's hard for him. Ofc, these problems - of mindset, it sounds like - don't solve themselves, get solved fully by other people, or even lose their effect fully when dealt with, unless he moves, so you can't really help him much. You simultaneously want to, but recognise there's not much you can do, and will not want to fruitlessly involve yourself, so conflict might give you weird dreams about it.

Took a short 1 hour nap.

Dreamed my teeth were falling out. One by one. Blood everywhere. Towards the end of the dream, it wasn't just teeth falling out, but big chunks of gum and cheek and mouth matter.

I had a pretty cool dream last night, although I can barely remember it now.

There was some guy travelling through this spooky ruined town/city when he accidentally smashed a hole in a stone slab and discovered some ancient treasure. It gave him some sort of powers, as well as enraging the spirits that had guarded it for so long and causing them to attack a nearby settlement and cause all sorts of trouble.

Main dude didn't seem too worried by this, from what I remember. He didn't have too much trouble fending off any ghostly beings that came after him, probably due to his newfound powers, and he searched the ruins to find more of the slabs and increase his power.

I know I don't remember much, but I do remember it being a fun dream.

...note to self: way too much Trauma Center.


I had a dream last night where I was playing a game in which the protagonist was a racist surgeon working on a spaceship, and his assistant was a long-winded alien who really knew his stuff when it came to patients that weren't human. Also, my brother was a nurse on the spaceship.

I think I need to re-evaluate my life.

Dreamed I was a sailor on a Ship of the Line. Our ship, the Wellington, and our sister ship, the Gladstone, were leaving the area around a very heavily fortified harbor and naval depot, with desert terrain surrounding them. Despite the names, and the obviously British crew, we were flying French colors. There was a lot of shouting about what must have been nonsense, but sounded like the sort of chatter that would be going on on a decently sized sailing ship. None of that applied to me though, I knew that I was supposed to be checking over the ship's magazine. Checking the magazine turned out to mean counting ammunition and powder barrels, and checking them for signs of water damage.

I was about 3/4 of the way through my inspection (which had been slowed considerably by the quartermaster's terrible handwriting leaving me unsure of how much of everything there was supposed to be and taken up most of the actual dream time) when the ship's bell rang for battle stations. I was a loader on a port broadside gun. I ran as fast as I could to get to my station, but I never managed it. A sudden, very powerful shot completely destroyed the stairs up to the top just before I reached them. One of the marines who was a little farther ahead of me was a bit too close and got a misting of shrapnel. Through the hole the shot made in the side of the ship I could see that the Gladstone was severely on fire and starting to break up. I recognized how well and truly fucked we were when I saw a few futuristic looking helicopters landed on the water nearby dropping rubber boats and picking up the surprisingly numerous survivors.

I wasn't be surprised to learn our ship was out of commission, but instead of surrendering I could see through a gun port on the other side that our crew had abandoned ship on rowboats and were making toward shore, leaving those of us who were stuck below deck behind. Not long after that, I heard helicopters hovering over us, and people dropping onto the deck. Probably from the helicopters on ropes. There was a very quick discussion between myself and the remaining crew, and we decided to surrender. The attackers, men with US combat gear with blue digital camouflage, jumped down the hole where the staircase used to be and started shooting at us while we had our hands up. Which was rather rude of them. I ran away toward the magazine, intending to detonate it to prevent the ship's capture, but it didn't take them all that long to gun down my comrades. I caught a bullet in the shoulder, but I made it down the stairs and shut the door to the magazine behind me.

I was next to an open barrel and had just struck a match when one of them kicked open the door. He charged me, but all I had to do was drop the match. I did, and the dream ended.

I had this dream a couple months ago, but it's the most vivid and interesting I've had in a long time, and seemed to be unusually infused with random allusions. This ended up way longer written out than I expected.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It seems remarkably complete for one of my dreams, though most of the ones I've remembered the longest also have some vaguely coherent resolution.

Had a weird dream where someone was talking about how they had a problem with too many lizards, so they got some more lizards, bigger ones to eat the other lizards.

Only, those lizards didn't eat them, so they got even bigger lizards which did eat them. Even if it's a dream, I did get to watch a lizard start swallowing a smaller lizard whole starting from the tail, to the point the food lizard's head was sticking out of the bigger one's mouth.

Same here, but often some crazy things happen(see above) that I can't help but remember them.

I had a dream where I was at some random place. I found lollipops there... big lollipops. I thought I would add that to my candy stash. No one noticed. Somehow, I got home by school bus even though I'm 29. I feared I left my lollipops at the school bus, but when I saw them at home I was relieved.

After waking up to my alarm I immediately went back to sleep... And had a dream about being late to work! Genius!

Weird dream of the day (night?):

I was playing a game that was a cross between Dwarf Fortress and Pharaoh.

I kind of wish it was real. It was actually kind of cool.

Had another weird one. I woke up to find that my right index finger had folded inwards on the tip/pad/whatever it's called. It looked sorta like a vagina, but that was irrelevant. The only way to let it heal properly was to keep it spread open, which was incredibly painful.

Give Timber and Stone a try, it's sorta similar. I think.

Did not sleep well last night. Too many bad dreams ._.
Or maybe that should be "one unending bad dream"

In the first dream, I had been close witness to a massacre. Hoodlums were chopping old people to bits, cutting off heads and the like, and I saw it all happen.
Then I dreamed that I had woken up, and upon logging onto my computer discovered that this massacre had in fact happened while I was asleep.
After that, things got creepy. I noticed that people were watching the house while I was there, whether standing across the street looking through my bedroom window or hanging out in my backyard, always leaving after I spotted them. I began getting strange, fake assignments from work (example: go to Oakland and pick up a load from "Black Man", no address. Yeah, I dunno). I began to see people spying on me at work as well. The same people.

Eventually I called the cops to tell them that people were snooping around my house and I felt like I was in danger. The guy in charge of investigating not only didn't believe me, but was openly hostile. Then his partner pulled me aside and asked if I recognized him. It was one of the people following me around.

I woke up well before my alarm went off, but I didn't much care by that point.
