I just had a dream of dream me insisting that 10,000 times itself was 100,000 and being told over and over again that I was wrong. Awake me knows it’s wrong, but it made dream me so mad that I woke up from the dream fully believing dream me was right. It made me so confused that I just spent 5 minutes fucking around on my phone calculator figuring out the square root of 100,000

I had a dream that the next meetup was at my childhood home because East Coast of course. The Dragon Quest run was happening in the living room while my mom and aunt loudly talked over Say Yes to the Dress. It was an extremely cursed dream.

I lived inside of some sort of apartment building/compound/place known for its seafood that Kanye West bought and was trying to turn into some sort of the Real Worldesque reality show thing while showing up and having meltdowns. In the process he disturbed the lobster operation, and was driving out the people I got along with.
After waking up in the middle of the night then falling back to sleep, the seafood based dreams continued as I was in some sort of fancy but limited grocery store/bakery and I was trying to find something to eat. My alarm woke me up as I was talking to an employee on a ladder about some sort of seafood flavored croissant.

Oh yeah, and somewhere in there I was a reporter covering some sort of retro computing convention and there was some romantic tensions with the film noir femme fatale reporter I was assigned with, who was married but also was trying to seduce someone else to get some dirt for a story. It was very complicated and we had a heavy conversation about it all while shopping at Target with a third wheel person for some reason. They eventually both bailed and I ended up talking to the convention’s organizers who seemed like sad sacks because attendance was down and they didn’t know how to book a musical guest. Plus the venue’s bathroom had this flooded floor urinal thing where you just walked into an area that had about half an inch of water on the ground and pissed on the floor. I noticed the organizer was wearing sandles…

Im not sure how but I traveled back in time had had to help set up a actual real world music venue in an renovated building. The non time traveling people I was working with were very worried that I was going to violate causality by geeking out about the process. There was also a very much not real old time miniature railroad set up/cyclorama in the back and a building painted to look like a giant strawberry.
In the real world this venue only opened in 2016, so this seems like the least adventurous time travel ever. Also while reclaimed bricks did factor into my dream, the real spot’s big feature is it’s recycled gym floor which my subconscious must have forgotten about. Plus the floor plan was all wrong in my dream.
Also at some point I was at a art gallery/house party (it was kind of fuzzy) where someone was trying to make the weapon potatoes from Painting with John. They were insisting that you had to rebury them after burning them to do it properly.

had a weird nightmre which was probably some bible story i half remembered
drain pipe outside of town and a headless mermaid in a some kind of cocoon washed out. The cocoon is a bunch of wings. Giant headless mermaid is in front of me in a pool of sludge, eight wings spread wide and each wing has a face on the inside of it that talks in a dozen voices all at once. It’s holding a little jewel box that it gives me.
There’s a cupcake inside and I take a bite and the flour it was baked from was made out of words instead of wheat and I just start knowing things as I eat it, and it’s also a contract and once I’ve finished eating the cupcake I’m under an obligation to kill a whole lot of people, and the mermaid asks if I think I’m strong enough because if I’m not she’ll have to kill me to take the words out of my mind to make a new cupcake for the next fool.
I say that I think I’m strong enough and she tells me to strike her down. I say that I can’t (she’s huge and scary) and she says I have to try, so I punch her in the stomach as hard as I can. She doubles over, pulling all her wings together like a cowl and starts wretching, and she vomits (can’t see whic face vomits it up) a sword. Big sword covered in steaming yellow bile with clots of blood in it. When I pick it up, it burns my hands. I shave my head with the sword, and she points to the town behind her and says I ought to get to killing.

I was supposed to meet an unknown someone for an appointment at a public library/apartment building that was just a big round space with the apartment doors in a ring but could not find their apartment door. I looked forever, walking in circles and drawing the concern of all the people hanging out in the library space.
Eventually I ran into an exgirlfriend (somewhat uncharacteristically dressed like Morticia Addams) from like twelve years ago who said iPhones had a x-ray mode I could use, but I rejected doing that as it sounds too creepy and explained that Superman keeps that power in check as appropriate and I ought to follow his example.
While walking in circles I eventually came across one of those cheesy digital photo booth black and white “drawings” of each resident and realized that the apartment number I was looking for belongs to someone I actually knew. And that it seemed to numerically be the highest number in the complex.
As the library seemed to be closing and the shelves of books were getting removed somewhere, I then discovered there was an escalator and not only a second floor of apartments, but a low plastic guard rail that kept you from stepping off at the small third floor landing and took you to the top of the structure where you had no choice but to lay down and enter what looked like a narrow waterslide opening as the escalator-turned-conveyor belt approached.
While the waterslide-esque tube itself was dry inside it was made of a transparent material and it was surrounded by a transparent outer shell filled with bubbling water and there was green tile and vegetation visible beyond that. I was somehow made aware that this slide was a therapeutic experience for members of the apartment building’s community who had been through some sort of collective tragedy. I only got a couple feet inside the slide when I realized it was designed to move you through extremely slowly, which combined with the underwater effect, the extreme claustrophobic narrowness, and the sense of urgency that I was holding up the person I was supposed to meet caused me to will myself awake three minutes before my alarm was set to go off.

I have no recollection of my dream last night other than the fact that I felt extremely annoyed that my alarm woke me up mid-sentence while someone was talking.

Dreamed that someone broke up with me. I wasn’t previously aware that I was dating them and also I’m married, actually, to someone else. I told them “sorry about the confusion, I can’t remember telling you “let’s date” but you should hate noticed we weren’t dating when we didn’t talk to one another for a year.” This highly logical explanation did not go over well, and there was a scene. I remember feeling very exposed and vulnerable and awkward and wondering if everyone was going to judge me for fucking up a relationship I was not aware I was supposed to be in

oh this was better then i remembered. im glad i write down my dreams when i can.
speaking of
8/4/22 dream:
opening scene: quark is tied up in a chair in his empty bar and talking to an unknown captor. cant really see his face as he walks around because it is not important. quark starts with something like “you know, when odo finds out about what youre doing here, you’re in big trouble. you know hes a shapeshifter right? that means he could be in this very room right now and you wouldnt even know it. very handy for, say, hostage situations such as this.” he stops to think though. “negotiating on the other hand, not his strong suit. you know what you need when you negotiate. a sense of humor. a sense of humor will get you far. odo has none of that.” he continues to talk to himself about odo while odo is sneaking up to the scene. odo hears what quark says about his sense of humor and does his little grunt laugh. the scene cuts back to quark, still going on, while his captor is walking back and forth with a gun. suddenly the captor gets pulled off screen, surprising quark, and before he realized whats going on hes free. he looks around and calls for odo but there is nobody there as the camera pans away. fade to black.
quark stops by odo’s office afterwards to ask about what happened in his usual roundabout way. odo pretends to not know what quark is talking about and says he saw the report that one of his deputies saved quark. he also informs quark that hes been busy preparing for a trip and will be gone for the next few days, which quark seems both confused and happy about.
the rest of the episode is about odo messing with quark using his shapeshifting abilities but disappearing before quark can confirm if what he sees is real or not. theres also a writer’s commentary on it, where he mentions that he wanted to “make another quark and odo episode that’s more explicit about their feelings towards each other” but “had to work it in in a way that wouldnt end up it getting cut by the studio for being too homoerotic” which is why he wanted to make it look like “quark obsesses over odo as a joke when it is very much real.” most of the scenes are of quark catching glimpses of odo and chasing after him but loosing sight of him. his reactions get increasingly more amped up and he gets more paranoid in front of everyone as the episode goes on. odo also transforms into other things though. two scenes i remember most are:
- odo has transformed into a small enterprise-d and is flying around quark’s bar. quark keeps catching glimpses of it but nobody else knows what he’s talking about when he asks them. quark, when hes alone, calls up odo on his viewscreen or something like that. odo acts not pleased. “what is it quark? you know i only gave you my number for emergencies, so this better be on.” quark is trying to figure out if odo is in his office, as the room behind odo looks suspiciously like it. “oh believe me, it is. its quite a big emergency. i… forgot which cargo bay the ingredients to my new dish is stored.” odo does his little grunt laugh again. “oh really? and you couldn’t ask someone who’s actually there to tell you?” quark, during this conversation, is walking to odo’s office, and coming up with excuses to buy time. eventually he gets there, opens the door, and goes “AHA!” only to see that its completely empty. quark is shocked and confused and asks odo where he is, to which quark replies he knows he cant tell him that. quark, very stressed, says he saw him in the bar earlier as the enterprise-d to which odo replies “the what?” “the enterprise, you know, the federation’s flagship, the ship worf served on???” “quark, despite what you may think, i dont know everything, and worf and i arent the type of people to share stories about our past over a plate of klingon bugs.” before quark could ask more and also correct odo on what those bugs are odo hangs up on him.
-quark goes to see sisko about odo and if he really is gone from ds9. the writer commentates about the outtakes in this scene, which are strangely recreated with screenshots shown in the lower corner of the screen with the dialogue pasted over in motivational poster impact font meme style. something about quark asking “dad” sisko if he knew where his boyfriend odo went and sisko pretending to act like he’s upset that he’s still seeing odo because its making him fall behind in school, to which quark replies that he never wanted to go to school and does a little tantrum. the actual scene, meanwhile, is quark coming into sisko’s office, to which sisko starts with “this better be good, quark, im a very busy man” as he’s tossing his baseball in his hand. quark, completely stressed out at this point, comes up with the flimsy excuse that his drink at the bar is gone and he came in looking for it before quickly switching to asking if odo /really/ left ds9 and isn’t secretly hiding somewhere. sisko does the thing where he asks the computer if it can locate odo to which the computer replies that odo is not on ds9. sisko says “see?” and after quark tries to argue further orders him to leave his office and not come back unless he has a damn good reason. after quark has left sisko places the baseball on his desk and says “you can come out now, constable” and the baseball transforms into odo. he asks sisko how he knew he was the baseball to which sisko replies that “a good pitcher always knows his ball well” or something like that. the writer notes that sisko’s actor had a hard time delivering that line without cracking up. sisko then reprimands odo for letting his pranks get bad enough that quark is bothering him about it but also tells quark he’s got 24 hours to have obrien fix the computer so that it does recognize odo, in a cheery sort of way, which lines up with when odo is supposedly to be back on ds9. odo says “thank you commander” and leaves.
-at one point in the middle of the episode the writer notes that the one thing he regrets is that they broke the rules quite a bit with what odo could shapeshift into, like a ship that can fly on it’s own or perfectly replicated humanoids.
-the last scene i remember is quark cleaning up his empty bar, and he turns around the corner to put a crate of stuff away. he stops and drops his crate, shocked, and the camera shifts to odo, laying across the table, propped up, wearing very little, with a very muscular body. he says something like “miss me quark?” to which quark collapses into a chair and passes out. the camera has a close up of quark’s face. bubbles appear into the frame, and the camera pulls back, revealing odo kneeling next to quark holding a bubble machine. he’s saying “quark…” and trying to wake him up but quark is out. suddenly, an alarm goes off, with the computer asking everyone to report to their stations. odo gets up and leaves, leaving the bubble machine blowing into quark’s face, as the episode fades to black for a commercial break. then i woke up.

guy on a japanese newscast feed is screaming in the back of a police car while handcuffed: “you guys got the wrong guy! im not the suspect! my nose isnt really broken its fake! im an actor, its called acting! you guys wouldnt know what that was if it bit you on it!” he sounds more and more desperate until he’s yelling that last sentence. theres a calm feminine voice speaking japanese over the footage the entire time. the man does have a giant bandage over his nose
dream shifts to a forum thread on a black and green forum. the OP has posted the above video and comments: “is this guy our’s? can we get him to post here?” i post in the thread in reply: “dear japanese authorities, this baka gaijin is our forum admin. he’s not guilty. he’s an actor, it’s called acting, and you guys wouldn’t know what that was if it bit you on it.” my post gets quoted, copy pasted, and reposted over and over in the thread. i feel very validated that everyone loved my post enough to repost it over and over.
cut to also me, but a different me, who is a detective at a police station scrolling through this thread and seeing this post over and over on an old computer. “the things i gotta do for this job” i say to myself as i drink my coffee. i look bored and tired. i hear over an old telephone next to me someone calling for me to wake up irl. i wake up just as i pull the telephone off the hook.

I went to a really over-designed themepark that was mostly lines, and my grampa was clowning on me the entire time. And it wasn’t even one of my real grampas, which made it so much worse. One of my grampas would be completely justified in clowning on me if he felt like it, and the other grampa is a clown (figurative), so I’d just let it slide off. Instead my subconscious had decided that that weird old guy who co-authored the medical report that vaccines cause autism, and who said his bone marrow could then cure autism, was related to me.
Ultimately I ended up laying down on a free-for-all golf course, and he said I shouldn’t lay down on the course because I’ll get grass stains. And of course I couldn’t get up, because I was sleeping in bed, so I was just stuck there as he taunted me. What a jerk.

Kojima came out on stage at the game awards to excitedly present never before seen behind the scenes footage of death stranding and it was a hastily edited series of scenes where a stone faced mads in a mocap suit puts kojima in a headlock and like there was an underwater shot of kojimas excited drowning face as mads is pushing him down under the water. Kojima was conspicuously not wearing a mocap suit and was smiling like faceapp the whole time

Alright y’all this is gross, but like, comically so, and it keeps happening so, here we go.
I’ve got a little flat mole on my cheek (my folks say it’s a “beauty mark” but I try to call it what it is, in case I forget and it gets like, discolored and malignant) that I gotta do occasional “upkeep” on - plucking a hair or two that juuuust pokes out of it, but are rooted pretty deep down. Have seriously thought once or twice about growing them all out and then seeing what it would cost me to have them zapped off forever somewhere.
Okay the gross part: Almost every time I do, especially if I do it before bed, I have a dream where I pluck one, but it just like, keeps coming, and I feel a “pop pop pop pop” on my cheek as I yank out what looks like the tail end of a segmented centipede - I usually panic and it rips off, and the plucked part writhes away as I feel whatever is left of what I was plucking burrow into my cheek.
I mean I get a little self conscious about it but damn. C’mon dream.
