I dreamt I had to do an open book test on Christmas Eve
There was apparently no time limit. Everyone else finished writing, and I was still writing. I kept finding more questions I hadn’t yet answered. Other people stayed around after finishing the test, and I was worried them sitting near me would get me in trouble. I was worried that I’d fail because the teachers would think I was cheating off the people who’d finished.
Eventually the teachers told me to just take it home with me but didn’t say when I should bring it back.
I went home with it. I kept writing it. Eventually I finished it, but it was late and I didn’t know if I was supposed to go back with it or hand it in after the holiday.
I lived across a street from a military airport and helicopters flew noisily just past my window and startled me.
My cat (in the dream, I don’t have a cat IRL) sat on my test, and I tried to pull my test out from under my cat, but accidentally tore off some of the answers in such a way that they were illegible and I had to rewrite everything and redo some of it.
A hunky teacher showed up and went to bed in a bed next to my bed that hadn’t been there earlier in the dream. I wanted to hand my paper in to him, but wasn’t done rewriting it, and was worried that maybe I only had until he went to sleep and was going to get in trouble for not having handed it in yet, and was going to get a 0.
I had a real self-aggrandizing dream the other night. I was at some backyard BBQ/Pool party and I sat myself down at a table in one part of the yard, and a bunch of people (and even the dog) all sort of congregated around me, and I noted how that was happening.
And one of the people who had sat down with me (my sister’s friend IRL) said “Of course, Mikey, don’t you realize the way you always draw people to you?”
Guess the ol’ subconscious decided I needed my ego fluffed.
Dreamt the Rock posted on Select Button to let us all know he’d contracted COVID but was feeling fine and his avatar was a big honkin’ animated gif of his face super imposed over a brownish sunset, it was 1.0 style, that’s how you could tell he was an old school poster returning to the fold
had a nightmare i couldnt get away from a dangerous alcoholic (probably a stand in for my dad), i had to pretend things were fine for him until i could get away on my bike and everytime things got spooky my subconcious seemed to summon kenny omegas aew theme music (which i listened to a bunch to calm myself down a while ago). ah heck. im gonna listen to it now
I dreamt an ad spot for the state of Ohio, a place I’ve never been and have no visual reference for. a city council type guy with glasses was saying “you look at Chicago, the weather is bleh, the sun stinks, meanwhile you could be moving to Ohio, live right in the middle, pay for your own fuel and frankly the thing lasts forever.”
Dreamed I was at my high school reunion and instead of showing like a slideshow of pictures of us, they showed a video that was just a montage of iconic clips from the videos teachers had shown us in class.
Few days ago I was taking this test to be some kind of Jason Bond Super Agent at a secret office downtown. Nice place, very casual open floor plan with an ikea style and free snacks. I’d already taken two interviews before this one and had nailed them. This third test, however, I bombed on every single part, even before the test started, because I didn’t read the instructions once. Eventually they asked me to leave.
Was still super bummed for like 2 hours after I woke up.
Had a dream where I was explaining a dream I just had. Can’t remember the specifics of the dream within a dream but I seem to recall Agent 47 was involved in it. Waking up put me in weird headspace though what with the dreaming about dreams.
After fighting with the PlayOnline launcher I was able to play the start of Final Fantasy XVI. It started with the player party (Guy, Girl, Old Man) fighting some rebel soldiers on a train who were trying to kill you for their master Lord Baron. It had PS1 graphics with aggressively in-fighting z-planes. It looked great.
The game menus felt like they were nested infinitely. My favorite parts were how when I opened the skill equip menu for the first time I had a skill equip weight of 58/60, and the white mage girl even had a Remedy skill that cost 0 weight, but was not equipped by default, so right off the bat I had the option to add a few skills for combat.
It also had a magic mixing system where you could equip two spells and they’d turn into a stronger spell. You did this by selecting the magic mix option, and then select from “Magic for FEMALE” and “Magic for MALE”, both of which were represented by their own spinning pink marble bust of a gunner mage with crossed musket pistols. But the female bust looked masculine enough and the male bust effeminate enough that they looked the same.
I had a dream last night that I lived in some sort of small fenced in but open air space adjacent to a train platform. Someone invited me to join their band and play a show immediately with no practice and I agreed just so I could get my amp out of the elements temporarily since it looked like it was about to rain.
Last night, I was trying to do some sort of espionage thing in a giant Clamp Building style complex. While scoping out opportunities to get into the secure area I happened across a roof top event which was an anniversary re-enactment of the premiere listening party for a sell out Courtney Love album aimed at the Radio Disney demographic. The crowd was packed and was there to relive mocking it. There was a musical chorus line style group that barely fit (and ultimately partially fell off) on stage with fake instruments, and projections of news clips with Britelbart watermarks.
While exploring I also found a store that sold sports mascot costumes and considered buying the head to hide from security cameras, but decided it’d be too easy to trace who they sold those to.
There was also an antique horse carriage in a boiler room.
had a complex dream, I was on my Stepdad’s property (he is a hoarder and has a lot of cars) and for some reason in the dream he had acquired more cars and they were all in very good condition. One of these was a large van with blue carpet interior, which was built in the 70s or something, and it was meant to transport people while someone on board made and served sushi. weird.
Anyway this transitioned into a bit about a wrestling tag team, who were brothers (by adoption? they weren’t blood related) and how they were being mistreated (assuming they were in, like, the WWE or something) and one of them had a move called “The Gorilla” where he took two people by their necks and slammed both their heads into the ground at the same time.
weird stuff, then I kinda woke up startled because my weighted blanked was on me weird and I had to get it off of me.
Stress dream about me hitting another parked car. It was a huge grassy field and cars were parked hapazardly everywhere, and despite being very careful I hit a fucking prius. I spent the latter half trying to decide if I should contact the other driver or not before resigning myself to it. I have a lot of dreams where I accidentally do something bad and then have to deal with the consequences before waking up and realizing it wasn’t real.
A few days ago however, I had a moment of lucidity and I was like “Ok…time to turn into a fox” and it didn’t work I was so bummed.
Spent 6 hours trying to infiltrate some kind of Super Villain Science base run by a Richard Branson type, and woke up incredibly exhausted. Didn’t make much progress, got stuck on too many adventure game puzzles, but on the plus side I could turn into a housecat and that defeated most of his security measures.
Also halfway through took a break to visit my dad’s apartment, and because someone left the front door open a bunch of the family’s late cats showed up. Not as zombies or anything weird like that, they were just being lazy and not doing anything about all the invisible mice that also got let in.
Woke up in the middle of the night with a new slang term for ‘tooth’ rattling around my head which at the time seemed brilliant. I think it was “gum box” or “gum cube”
Had a dream that I looked up and out the little window on the side of my house on a moonlit night and saw a guy in a wingsuit lose momentum and fall to his death into the little side area of my front yard.
I was too scared to go out there and investigate and went to bed shaking, which led to me waking up.
I was so bummed.
