The Dream Thread

Last night I had a dream that my kids and I were playing a VR version of The Sims. We discovered that the babies in the simulation had a set "happy" reaction no matter what you did. So we found it hilarious to kick them around and bounce them off walls. It was so funny, I woke myself up laughing in real life.
 
This was definitely the weirdest dream I've had in awhile. Especially since I rarely remember my dreams these days. This one was pretty vivid.

I was working for a mob boss. No idea what I did because it wAll the other guys that worked for the big guy played cards. And since it was hanging out, I was allowed to play pool and such. Basically keep myself entertained until I was needed. Except I kept screwing up and using tables specifically set up for the boss. All the other tables were filled, except for his. And I'd move from one table to another, only to be yelled at by one of the other guys that it was Mr. Big's table. They didn't call him Mr. Big in the dream; it's just an easier way to refer to him.

Where I really fucked up was playing pool and having a good time with a pair of girls that were there. Joking, laughing, showing them how to play. Totally harmless. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to hang out with the hired help - prostitutes, in other words.

That's when Mr. Big himself got involved. He insisted that they weren't people and we shouldn't treat them like that. They were just there to be used and abused. He demonstrated this by making them walk around naked or telling them to make out with each other. The girls were new to the business and were almost as unsure about everything as I was. They were certainly empathetic that Mr. Big was putting me through this. He kept threatening that he'd make all three of us (me and the girls) have sex if I didn't start listening to him.

The dream ended where I was pleading him not to do that because I had depression and probably wouldn't be able to perform, anyway, because of the pressure.

Dreamed that me and a kitten detective made a big bust and then I looked the other way when Kitten took some of the evidence money. I was so relieved when I woke up and didn't have to face the chief. Really ashamed of myself for letting Kitten go dirty so early into his career and also life I guess.
 
Just in time for the Michigander Halforums meet up, I had a dream the night before that Dave had a long-lost brother from Kazakhstan that had reconnected with him through the forum. Apparently this had been a "thing" for a while so I was EXTREMELY confused at a) the new face with a massive post count and b) wondering how the hell I had missed all this when it was occurring.

I had a dream that we moved into this new house I'm buying, and we found out it was huge inside but dated. The previous owners had left a lot of valuable things like furniture. Especially in what appeared to be a little boy's room. There was a TV and some (albeit older) video games, etc. Anyway, we're trying to figure out why they left all this stuff. Then the boy who used to have the room pops up at the window and pushes it open from outside. He plops himself down on the bed and starts playing with the toys. Apparently, the old owners had only moved down the street. Anyway, he's playing happily and talking to us. Then, his happy expression falls, and he looks at me and says, "Have you heard the voices yet?"

What follows gets jumbled and difficult to remember, but I do recall the house being dark, and unusually cool inside, and there being strange creaks and bangs just out of view in the dark.

I had a dream that the end of 30 Rock was an episode where Jack created a clone of Liz Lemon that he could continue to mentor.
 
I had multiple weird dreams that all sort of bled into each other.

I don't exactly remember what order they were in, but they included the foll0wing:


I was at the mall and went to a Verizon kiosk because I had been calling calls from them claiming I was eligible for a free phone upgrade (and actually, they have been recently). To my complete surprise, I was eligible. I asked if my bill would change or if I'd be charged anything and they nope, here's your new Galaxy S7. The only caveat was that it was the display model, but I was sufficiently impressed anyhow. The weirdest part was I had one of those 'lucid dream' moments where I reminded myself that when I woke up in the morning, I should go to a verizon store and see if this is actually true.

Another dream I had involved a Bernie Sanders rally. As he was giving his speech, Hillary Clinton came in, said something trollish that I can't remember, and ran into a helicopter and flew away.

Thus begins the helicopter adventures.

Because in the next part of my dream, I was in some sort of holding area, which was a vast, open underground area that was filled with stone walkways and water, where I wasn't a prisoner, but I was trying to get others out. After freeing them, we hijacked a helicopter to get out, and I was flying. As we flew out of the underground complex, we get hit by a lot of Anti-aircraft fire and were shot down. At this point, this is where my brain decided the enemies were ISIS fighters, and when another helicopter came in to finish us off, it apparently got so low, one of the members of my little group was able to jump on, and throw the pilots out and land the helicopter. It turns out the helicopter was quite spacious, had multiple seats and was pretty well armed. We fixed it up a bit, repainted the insignia to something else, and got in, where this time, I did NOT fly. I suppose getting us shot down once was enough.

From there, we flew to Germany for some reason---some of the members of this group we rescued were part of this elite puppet comedy troupe who had a performance to get to (also, one of them was British). Their major catchphrase in their skits was "Butt kiss". It was uproariously funny. I guess. After a few scenes of the skit flashed by in my head, we got back in the helicopter, and flew away again, to who knows where.

While sitting a seat, the british member of the group started showing me all the gifts and money he had received from fans had given him from the Germany performance. I remember thinking, "And I have HOW much student debt?". As we were taking, another person noted there were some weird cabinets in front of the first row seats. So we go over and look and it appeared to be a little shop!....like a little skymall with all sorts of llittle touristy trinkets. Not only that, there were pictures inside the back wall of the cabinet of a Chinese man and his family, so I guess either this use to be a Chinese helicopter that was also an airline or...or...I don't know. But I ended up looking through the multiple cabinets and finding all sorts of things. I even found the guy's extra business suits. After I rooted through all this stuff, I sat back down and looked out the helicopter window and everything slowly faded away as I woke up.

Weird.

I just had some crazy awesome dream where I was the Dovahkiin but somehow I travelled in time/space/dimensions to earth's future and into the matrix where I beat Agent Smith to the punch and took the eyes of the oracle for myself. Then there was some kind of superhero battle royale.

I wish I could remember more but I got jolted out of the dream by being awoken by loud child-cousins.

I just remembered that last night I dreamed I had taken a sick day out, and when I came back in I realized the day that was out was the launch day of some video game I'd been wanting to play, and everybody at work thought I had played hooky to play it all day, but I had really been out sick. Then when I left to go to lunch I got hit by a garbage truck. And that's when I woke up.

That part where I dreamed I was sick makes me uneasy because, as I mentioned in the whine thread earlier today, I think I might be getting sick.

Oh man, I overslept. First time in a great while, years probably, that I've slept till noon. I must have needed it. And I had this intense dream.

I dreamed I was working on-location producing a TV series that was kind of like Game of Thrones meets ancient Greek myth, but during the course of that work I discovered my true hidden talent - I could play any guitar-like instrument, intuitively and instinctively, while riding a bicycle. I discovered this somehow with the use of a shamisen.

So I held an impromptu concert in the parking lot of an abandoned megastore just off the interstate, and thousands of people came to watch me ride in a circle on a bicycle while shredding sick metal riffs on an electric ukelele.

At one point some notable metalhead celebrity whose name I can't recall because I think my subconscious made him up appeared in a limo and amped up the crowd.

The Chipotle next door to the parking lot complained about the noise.

And then I woke up.

If it's anything like the ones I've had, the music you play is incredibly awesome, but then when you wake up, you can't remember any of it. At all. Even just to hum it. Which is frustrating.

I had a dream that I was visiting my parents. I go into the formal dining room and there is Brock Sampson playing Diablo on my laptop that I purchased 15 years ago...

I dreamed I won an inexpensive car stereo in a raffle, which I was happy about because my current car stereo is in the process of dying. I was mildly disappointed to wake up and find out I had not, in fact, won a 60 dollar car stereo (which I could easily just go buy).

Next time you dream it, make sure you dream that the installation is free, and not billed at $50/hr along with having to buy a $99 wiring harness.

I'm thinking of turning this one into a short story.

Sometimes You Have to Shoot the Last Hostage

It was in a house. I’ve already forgotten most of it, but I remember it was in a house – a big house. And I was there with several friends. It was some kind of party or get together.

And then we were raided or attacked by a group of gunmen who took us hostage. The leader – played by Ryan Reynolds – said at the very beginning, “Don’t fight us and you’ll all live through this. But sometimes, you have to shoot the last hostage.”

Soon, the police surrounded the place. During negotiations, they agreed to release a hostage one by one. During this whole time, I was talking with my friend K, who was actually playing wingman for me with a girl who was flirting with me a little. Near the end of it, she finally got mad that I’d been talking with K the whole time and not her. She knew that we were talking about her and that all she wanted was for me to talk to her because she was interested, too.

Then, in the dream, I woke up in the house to find it mostly abandoned except for some of the hostage takers, including their leader. I started following him around the house, afraid to ask any questions. Finally, he said, “You seem to have something on your mind. What’s up?” I told him, “Sometimes you have to shoot the last hostage, right? I’m afraid to die.”

He sat there for a moment, with his crew. I think they were patching up a wound. I somehow slept through gunfire. Finally he said to me, “Go on, then. Go see her.”

And that’s when I woke up.
 
I just dreamed that I was a kid who was stealing Transformers from a toy store. The owner killed himself over it. His son then stabbed me in the ribs.

I was taken to the hospital where I learned I had the voice of God powers, so me and Gloria from Orange is the New Black decided that I should use it to rip people off. So I decided to steal more Transformers and I made the owner's son stab himself in the head when he came running at me with a knife.

Dreams yo.
 
About two weeks ago I dreamt that my uncle, who has some property up in the Poconos and some earthmovers and what not to work on it, found something while he was digging a trench for a new septic system. He described it as being like an old gun and bayonet of some kind, and he wanted me and my dad to take a look. So we drove up there, and got to the edge of the hole, while my uncle had the digger running to keep the hole from filling in, supposedly. My dad said, "Look down in there, can you see it?" I looked and said, "No-" and that's when my dad hit me in the back of the head with a shovel, then kicked me into the hole. I managed to get onto my back and was looking up when my uncle started pushing the mound of earth back into the hole.

I was in a real hurry. As I was pulling up to a stop light, the car in front suddenly stopped short, causing me to rear end their car. My passenger that I did not recognize prompted me to flee, and that he would take care of "it." He basically influence peddled his way through the passengers of the other car. -must reference the white privileged that I enjoy daily.

I finally extricate myself from the car, I grab a shopping bag that should have a change of clothes in it, and I go into hiding.

The rest of the dream just dealt with the bag being full of literal shit.

Last night, I dreamed that, while I was at work each day, @HCGLNS would break into my house and steal a component from my computer. One day it'd be the video card, the next a hard drive, and so on. Finally when there was nothing left but the motherboard and the case, he just beat the shit out of the whole thing until it was warped, bent, and broken, and left it out on the curb.

So I went to canada to confront him. I went to his house. Squidleybits was very nice but the hobo was completely unrepentant, so I dropped trou and took a dump on the floor.

I woke up and was ever so briefly terrified that the dream might have made me shit the bed for real, but fortunately it did not.

Like you would get past the picket defense of jogging redheads in yogi pants in my neighborhood.
 
I dreamed that my ex was going around kissing people I knew and then asking me if it bothered me.

It took me half an hour after waking up to shake the feelings the dream left me with. Fuck you brain.
 
Last night I dreamed that an article was written about my time travelling abilities and published in my favourite magazine. I then went on a rampage because it contained pictures of me.

Last night I dreamed it was the last day of high school, and everyone was getting their stuff together to leave for the last time. I was trying to talk and joke with everyone as we did, but instead of raising the mood, every joke I told seemed to make the atmosphere colder. Finally they all turned their back on me, and left without speaking. Occasionally one or another turned to throw me a final disdainful look as they went. Before long I was left in the room alone and flabbergasted.
 
Last night, just before I woke up, I said in my dream, "Sir, please stop peeing on my plunger."

I don't remember the circumstances in the dream that led to that particular sentence. Presumably there was a man urinating on my plunger, and I wanted him to stop, but I couldn't tell you who it was or why he was taking a leak on my household tools.

Last night, I had a dream where, as dusk neared, I was trying to ride east on a motorized unicycle as quickly as possible - because if the sun set on me, vampires would pounce on me and tear me to shreds.

I feel like it might be a metaphor for work, lately.
