thank you for reminding me of this dream
I had a very unpleasant dream that I encountered a man inside a simulation who was a fan of “psychological primitivism”. I asked him to explain and it was just the future’s term for simulating normal ass people by today’s standards. I got angry and started having a panic attack and asked “so the people who make these places just keep extending themselves to higher and higher heavens while building deeper and deeper hells?” and he smiled and enthusiastically said yes. At this point I was hyperventilating and tried to explain that I was the person whose idea this originally was. That I had been a schizophrenic philosopher on the original timeline who wanted to do this. He responded by throwing up and dying. I woke up screaming for a doctor.
Had a bizarre dream about a fox searchlight pictures style film about a Japanese American mixed race minor celebrity with ambiguous “male lesbian” gender issues who returns to Japan to visit a former paramour who has settled down and had a daughter. The daughter has weird issues because her mom is mostly gynophilic and when the american contaminated genderfuck guy returns she takes it out on him in a way that is very revealing of cultural and generational differences both within Japan and between Japanese and Japanese Americans. Gender ends up being used as an indirect lens to examine race and generational issues or some shit
The humor wasn’t very punchy, it was just at a low background simmer throughout the entire movie. “Jokes” included things like him not being able to pay for sushi after taking everyone out for sushi because he forgot to tell his american bank he was going overseas so they locked his card, and when he explains this to the restaurant owner she gets more and more polite-angry until she randomly starts overtly flirting with him and it recontextualizes the entire scene as having sexual tension in it. Another “joke” was that when the daughter finally gets angry at him she IM’s him but he says he’s no good with IM’s so to please email him instead, and so she does but it’s a rapid fire series of IM length emails with bad spelling and emoticons and whatever
Dreamed it was possible for me to see and review a list of all doorstops I’d ever seen in my life from heaviest to lightest
These are the types of idle fantasies I tend to dream about after consuming one (1) extremely mild edible weed
i would watch this movie
My non dreaming streak was broken by one where I was hanging out with an old friend and playing knock off mega man game that features Kane from X-Force 2 as a boss along with a bunch of Christian imagery.
I dreamed I had a hacked neo geo pocket color with a flash cart and it could play videos and gameboy games. I played some Pokemon Ruby on it.
I dreamed I was playing Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 7 and it had an extra “Elite” difficulty after you beat the game on European Extreme. Elite difficulty used the same maps but had AI generated ordering, characters, story, and cutscenes. I started the game and there was a boss fight against masked soldiers, some of whom turned on stealth camouflage halfway through, in a basement/cellar. Then a visibly very pregnant woman and her male partner, both white haired, showed up in the corner of the basement as the real bosses in the boss fight. I started shooting them in the head repeatedly with some sort of magnum semiauto pistol, got a codec call calling me a bad person for shooting a pregnant woman and telling me to use stun grenades, and then was killed by some sort of psychic blast from the guy.
Just woke from a dream where someone with a heavy accent called my land line (I don’t have one) asking for Frank (guy I met once) because they wanted to help him with the problem he posted about on reddit (“how to have sex.”)
I think Frank had picked up another extension cuz I could hear him breathing and occasionally trying to answer but every time someone spoke I’d scream something like “Oh God, how do I have sex!!!” in a Jerry Lewis goblin voice.
And I just kept doing it even though every time I did it they got quieter and quieter, and then I noticed a lady had shown up and I thought I’d really crack her up by asking
“So is pussy really that good or is it like sliding your dick between a slice of ham”
But nobody laughed and I felt real embarrassed so I didn’t finish saying “…because that’s also good” cuz I woke up.
I just laughed that’s funny as shit
I had a dream I was at the mall and I saw an armadillo. It was rolling around and having a great time. I said out loud, “wow, an armadillo!” Then it turned a corner out of my view.
When I turned the corner I saw a woman wearing an outfit made of like 5 armadillos. She had shoulder pads made of two full taxidermed armadillos! I said out loud, “oh, I guess that’s what I saw.”
Then I looked around some more and saw the armadillo from earlier ![]()
I dreamed Ryan Reynolds was showing me a way to save money on movie theaters and it was by going to a haunted movie theater that devoured the souls of its patrons and trapped them in the movies
Dreamed I was hanging out with a bunch of Hong Kong action stars whose movies I’ve loved. They were all like in their 30s magically/the ages they were when they made thier most famous material, rather than the ages they are now. We were all just chilling in some lawn chairs in a plaza. Suddenly they all began talking about their desire to jointly write and direct an indie film with no action in it whatsoever. I was a little incredulous, but intrigued… unfortunately just as they started forming director groups to plan, and writer groups to break the story, I woke up!! Curses!!
Dreamed I was with a group of people flying a prototype plane that was flat, but very fast, but somehow made out of laminated balsa wood like a beat up bowling lane, it was propeller driven.
finished teaching for the semester earlier this week so i have been enjoying sleeping in the past couple of days. the best way to relish this small treat in life is to set your alarm clock for the normal time so it wakes you up, then you just turn it off and go back to sleep. but today after i did that i had a dream that was a new variation on an old favorite. old favorite: in my dream i have forgotten that i was enrolled in some kind of GE class in a topic i know nothing about, biology or anthropology or something, and i had also forgotten to attend said class all semester, but i just realized i was supposed to do that and also have an exam coming up. in the new version this manifested as like, some kind of lecture series or something i had been organizing that is supposed to take place in 3 weeks but that i had basically just neglected all planning duties for. anyway there was more to it but it was totally boring, mundane enough that when i woke up it took me a few minutes to remember that it wasn’t actually true. but this was bad enough to get me out of bed. i do still have lots of work to do so its probably better i didnt just sleep till 11 or whatever. still! the nerve!
Had a dream with my dad in it and he looked at me but thankfully in the dream I also remembered half the process for dealing with an emotional flashback so uh I got crappy sleep basically
A few weeks ago I had a dream about beetles. Not, like, as horror or anything. Just a dream about lots of different beetles.
i’ve stopped smoking and so my dreams have been coming back in full force. it’s been a couple years at this point, for sure… @_@
anyway, over the past few nights, i keep having dreams that involve people i knew from high school who i probably haven’t thought of in at least 20 years. in one of them last night, i’ve sort of lost the plot, but i do know i was with a group of people (including a couple coworkers) and the conceit of the dream is i called in sick to work to do whatever i was doing with these people. unfortunately, the only exit out of the place we were inside of (some kind of house) was through a tunnel that only exited into the main office of my school building.
and, since i recently started replaying MGSV, this turned into a stealth mission that involved a lot of crouch walking out of the office, waiting for people to leave hallways to exit, and then i exited out into what could only be described as a rural parking lot. i got away, but one of my (current) students was also there, and he wasn’t given permission to go home by himself, so i semi-reluctantly gave him a ride home.
I dreamed I had two hamburgers delivered and they fell apart in transport but when I put them back together there was an extra set of toppings left over.
I also dreamed my boyfriend told me he had a secret second girlfriend he had been seeing on the side and that he was moving in with her.
