I had some dreams about people fighting. In one of them a girl threw a man to the ground in a walgreens or something after he had been creepy and tried to grab her. It wasn’t a Judo throw though, it was like, a full on Pankration throw.
In another I was doing RBT work and for some reason all the other RBT’s and teachers assistants were in-uniform military. One of them deadnamed me, so I got on one knee, pulled her down to me, and whispered “you don’t call me that.” She looked like she was considering punching me in the throat but didn’t.
Some other military women were smiling approvingly at me over this so I guess it was ambiguous whether they were evil? Then a non uniformed but obviously military guy said “are we going to have a problem?” to which I answered “Wanna fight over it? I’ve got a mouth guard and everything” (the mouth guard I wear to sleep inexplicably showing up in the dream). I knew I was going to get my ass kicked but was in a good mood so went for it anyway.
The dream ended before the fight started with him telling me not to plant my feet or I’d get plowed over. I think I replied “bouncy bouncy”
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I dreamed that on the day of the resurrection all the dead electronics would also come back to life, since silicon is sentient. I saw my broken ThinkPad with CoreBoot successfully installed, and it had happily installed dozens of other operating systems, most of which I had never heard of before, but also Linux and DOS

So there was a mid-90s attempt to make a live action Max Headroom style show for TMNT, but it was a Vampire: The Masquerade TV style disaster that reinvented the entire show each episode to try and find something that stuck. The Turtles proper were dropped from the show after the first episode, but the mutant animals stuck around. I became the lead character of the back half of the show, and my defining character traits were that I was a dashing thief, and I had a really nice lambskin duster coat.
The last storyline involved accidentally stealing from a Keyser Soze style character. When I was able to avoid getting killed by his Hustle I impressed him, and he gave me one chance to redeem myself, by winning an illegal street race. I asked if I could let my mechanic, played by Curtis Armstrong, race for me, and he accepted.
The race was nuts, tore up most of downtown, got dozens of people killed, and a whole bunch of plotlines were coming to a head that could have saved me:
Keyser Soze’s knife crazy girlfriend getting knife crazy
me befriending the Hustle
Curtis Armstrong being exceptionally good at cheating.
But then I read the back of the DVD case and saw this was the final episode they made, so we might as well wrap it up. I went to jail, and Curtis went back to our bombed out building base to vibe with the molemen.

I don’t even remember my dreams. I just remember that they were vaguely unpleasant in some highly abstract way. Something about the world being ever so slightly off aesthetically and spatially.

I dreamt that my in-laws were watching a new Abramsverse Star Trek movie at home called Star Trek: From Below. I wasn’t really paying attention to it, but I do know it started with a cold open space action action sequence (with very absurd teal/orange lighting at all moments), followed by some really calm dialogue about what they had just learned from that harrowing experience.
During the dream itself I was weirded out by the existence of the film because (a) I had never heard of it, (b) my in-laws are much more Star Wars people so why was I finding out about it from them, (c) “wait isn’t Chekhov’s actor dead”, and (d) From Below is an amazingly stupid title for a film set in space (the poster did not provide any context for how the concepts of up/down would make sense for the title).

I dreamed I died a horrible death in a mega tsunami caused by an asteroid. I was in a skyscraper, and the wave just barely covered it and the brunt of the force was also absorbed by skyscrapers in front of it. So I was underwater and thought I would survive, but there was less and less light, and then a groaning, and then my ears hurt, and then my entire body hurt, and then I realized the wave hadn’t peaked and was still growing and growing in size, and then I was crushed along with the building by the water pressure of being miles underwater.

I had a very McLuhan style dream. There was a neo Nazi student who was responsible for serial murders in a CSI like TV show. Someone showed up in the TV show as a student they were interviewing who claimed they knew exactly who did it. When they asked him how, he said it was because he had seen this episode of the TV show. They asked him if he had psychological issues, and he said no, it was all metaphysics, strictly legitimate and scientific. So the trial started, and they had invited him as a possible witness, but the trial was of the wrong person. Then that person confessed, apparently being in collaboration with the other Nazi, who they aimed to protect. The interloper tried to tell them who the head Nazi was, but they wouldn’t listen, so he stole a gun from the bailiff and went to try to shoot the guy. But he was just a TV watching dweeb so he fumbled the gun. Then the Nazi pulled out his own gun. He shot a baby casually, then rounded up everyone he didn’t like and took them towards the roof (this was a skyscraper) where other Nazis were waiting and started defenestrating them. The Interloper rushed them and threw them off while they were still at the edge, but couldn’t save anyone. Then even more Nazis showed up, including a cop who had secretly been a Nazi. The interloper hid under a wet floor sign somehow, and it was unthinkable the ruse would work, but somehow the Nazis didn’t notice. Finally, one got suspicious and lifted it up, but there was just a pile of trash underneath: the interloper had somehow gone back to being just a viewer

there’s a bunch of Backrooms related games and VR worlds, but you gotta do your own private server because the experience sucks otherwise.

I dreamed there was a 3DS2, which had a pokemon game on the Nintendo Store only which had dynamic weather effects and some other killer features, and that the price of the 3DS2 was going up and the 3DS2 store was completely closing soon. So I woke myself up to go check and as soon as I was awake realized it wasn’t real.

Been having very stressful dreams again…
Dreamed that I was watching a sports game that was a mix between American football and soccer. However it has been turned into a blood sport by some company and if the players screwed up they would have their heads chopped off onscreen. Whenever that happened the camera of the game stream would point directly at their face and show the whole thing in incredible detail.
I and some other people found this bloodsport very disturbing, so we went to the control room of the show and I guess we were going to try and stop the stream. However while we were amassing in the room and trying to figure out what we were going to do, a completely unrelated group of attackers entered the room and started shooting everyone up with big ass machine guns. I fled the room and started opening doors and clearing space and shouting at crowds to get out of the area, but nobody else made it out of the room. We all kept running until suddenly I was in an airport and now it was an airport shooting. Except everyone in the airport was also constantly watching up close videos of football players getting their heads chopped off by a sword.
Not a fan!!
