I dreamt there was an unused pie crust on the counter and I thought “oh hey I could fold this in half and make a really big tart of some sort.” Then I spent some time looking for some jelly, realized that I should probably do some actual research into what tart fillings are like, and then never got around to actually making the tart.
too real
Dreamed that I was playing an elaborate kind of obstacle course/larp game in real life (about half my dreams are about elaborate larp or ARG esque games) and it involves crossing a swimming pool with a shark in it.
One of the game objectives involved me acquiring a small hyper intelligent cat who would ride on my shoulder and solve game puzzles for me. For some reason the cat kept leaping into the shark pool. It wasn’t even performing game tasks. I even had to jump in to fish it out once or twice and every single time I or the cat was in the pool I would become aware of the whole rigamarole of the shark noticing us, sniffing the water, approaching, building up speed, etc. Its teeth would snap closed just behind me every time. Obnoxious!! Fuck that shark and also fuck that cat, it should have known better as it was hyper intelligent and could solve puzzles
I dreamed the flat earth people started wearing t-shirts that said “hope your whore ball was worth it”
Dreamed I had to assassinate the president of Chile for work, it was fine bc you could do it through videogames now, I found him in dark souls where he was wandering around very pleased in the super heavy armor without realizing it made him vulnerable to poke n roll. When it was done my boss sent out a company newsletter (to the people of Chile?) announcing the sad news in passing along with dense advertisements for different work packages. When I got back to work I found the company logo had been changed to a photo of a smiling executive woman next to the words “vibe can always be forgiven”.
Dreamed about a frankfurt school book that had a sentence reading “Texture is the dungeon the gorilla dreams about” and I was like that’s soooo true
I haven’t had a proper dream in a while but I just took a nap on the couch and had some sort of go toward the light experience.
Yesterday morning I had a weird sort-of-dream experience when I think I needed the toilet and so woke up suddenly. It was early morning so still dark, but some light was coming in through the blinds.
Anyway, as soon as i opened my eyes i saw a man standing over me next to the bed. I don’t think he was looking at me, but had his hands in his pockets shifting his feet and looking from side to side like he was waiting for a bus. I just froze and kept staring until he seemed to step backwards and faded away. I think at this point my brain woke up properly and I realised it was just my sleepy brain playing tricks.
After that I tried to go back to sleep but kept opening my eyes occasionally to make sure he was actually gone and not just hiding in the shadows.
The guy’s appearance was weirdly distinct as well, like i could see he was kind of short with a bit of beer belly, wearing jeans and a vest with a t-shirt underneath, he had a short beard and long curly hair and looked like he was maybe Greek or Italian.
It was a bit too distinct considering how dark the room was.
I think maybe this was a sleep paralysis episode, i don’t remember specifically feeling like i couldn’t move, but instead my brain told me not to move in case the guy saw me. Either way it was kind of terrifying but strangely by the time I got out of bed I’d forgotten about it until later in the day.
Ah damn sorry I astral-projected myself into your room
Dreamed that I had to eat breakfast off a table where all the food and breakfast accessories were embedded in the table in little spring loaded slots. Like, you’d press down on the milk and a little spring loaded platform would disengage and the milk would rise up to be level with the table.
Well I was marveling at this kitchen/dining room and its various amenities when I started noticing various large flat leathery bees all over the place, laying and hiding in various corners and lips and edges. They were disgusting to me and very frightening. Like a cross between a bee and a roach. I complained to someone and they told me that to get rid of the bees I would have to pick them up myself and put them in the compost.
They handed me the compost in a canvas bag and it was full of brown flecks of wood and dirt and for some reason an immense quantity of little dried and withered fruits and berries, like potpourri. I had my compost worms with me for some reason so I put them in the bag and they ate the shit out of it at maximum speed. I remember thinking “these worms will protect me from my enemy, the bees.” Then I woke up
After a storm, some giant chunks of trees were supported by low sloping power lines. And two full trunks slide down them at high speeds into the old brick wall of the apartment building the lines were leading to. As the last chunk was still threatening to bring down the power lines, I called for help from some of the other people who lived in the neighborhood.
Because of a vague past joke gone wrong by me one of the people I was investigating this problem with was convinced the other person was into Santería. The confused guy made the other guy some sort of thank you banner/display which referenced this for helping us out, but the other guy had to break it to him that he was actually Jewish.
assuming that due to certain discussions happening elsewhere i dreamed that the way i disposed of old razor blades was to break them up into quarters and swallow them. i guess they were blunted enough that my mucous membranes could protect me from them?
I dreamed I was in a room with a bunch of people I dislike including Jordan Peterson, and I caused Jordan Peterson to have a complete mental breakdown and storm out of the room just by looking him in the eye and holding his gaze. He left while screaming about how he couldn’t handle it. Then I chased after him with a gun while screaming “Dr. Peterson! I AM THE DRAGON OF CHAOS AND I AM COMING FOR YOU!” I found him sitting down in a room in a school and a couple of small women tried to restrain me but I just dragged them along. I leveled the gun at his head and said “Show me how a man dies, Dr. Peterson” and he said some nonsense that I don’t remember. Then I dropped the magazine and popped the round in the chamber and walked away. He said “Total nonsense” as I was leaving.
wtf at this dream honestly.
thought this was the current events thread for a second (idk why)
had a nightmare about a bunch of unstoppable masses all converging upon me on top of a hill followed by a night terror type thing? thought something was standing over my bed so i literally pulled the covers over my head because i was too scared to look lmao
I dreamed I was back in the basement room of my childhood home when nukes started hitting. I heard my mom and sister upstairs actually go outside after the shockwave from the first one abated, and then I heard them die from the heatwave of the second one. Then a younger more boyish shaggy from scooby doo showed up outside the small window in the room and I let him crawl in through it. There was a girl with him, but she was immune to the blasts, possibly because she was some sort of spirit. Shaggy told me to sit in a different part of the room so the roof wouldn’t collapse on me. Then I passed out when the roof did collapse, and when I woke up the entire room was filled with all different kinds of bugs including bees, including all over me.
Dreamed I got a new job. Was very excited! My only proof I’d been accepted to the job was a piece of paper like a letter of acceptance with a giant bar code on it.
I was in a luxurious city with a lot of winding roads and verticality. It reminded me of a bit of Hong Kong I saw almost a decade ago. I was walking around on the streets and I lost my bit of paper!!! I had to march up and down these giant hills looking all over for it, and I had to call a taxi company to ask if I left it in the car I’d taken, and it was a mess.
Worst of all, as usual, my dream was ONCE AGAIN taking place inside some kind of giant larp type game, so I kept having to take time to address that too. I think we had to go to different locations to complete tasks or something so I had to work my search in alongside that. And worst-worst of all, the hiring manager at the new company was walking around with me doing the larp too, and I had to conceal from her that I’d lost this crucial piece of paper!!
this is always a really common element of my deeper and more interesting dreams
When I was sick a week ago I had some very vivid dreams about clasps.
I keep having dreams about my ex girlfriend of years ago and I am disappointed that my subconscious is seeking escapism along that particular road
Was in a commercial plane crash with my dad. We survived a water landing that ripped the plane apart. He was immediately pissed because it was going to be a week before we could get another flight. I was like “can we take in that we just survived a plane crash for a bit before we get pissed about inconveniences?”
The dream was terrifying until I recognized clues from other dreams involving plane crashes I’ve had. So I was in this weird state where I was freaked out but certain we would survive.
