DREAM THREAD: Thread for weaving together a beautiful tapestry from all your dreams

in the early 21st century politicians apparently took the “y the last man” scenario as seriously as they did the tv show 24 so gender equality somehow got supercharged and every bit of critical civilian, government, and military infrastructure required there to be people with all the chromosomes just in case like you weren’t allowed to fly planes anymore with just cis dudes anyway i was somehow a nuclear technician and was training a new female counterpart to do my job with me and this woman was uh…the wiz era diana ross wearing big glasses as some sort of dizty nerd character and she kept doing antics like putting her feet up on the control console and spilling food on it and dropping a nuclear core(?) that she was carrying around in a wheelbarrow. it was basically me and her having a romantic comedy meet cute and it somehow turned into a snobs vs slobs sports movie like there was an international competition to see who would handle a simulated nuclear meltdown better and it was us against the russians but it somehow turned into a REAL meltdown because someone accidentally brought the wrong computer chip(?). and stuff started going bad and exploding & that one dude from robocop who turned into a toxic waste monster was walking around

I’ve gone to my family’s traditional thanksgiving dinner, and I’m still recently laid off. The whole extended family is there, but so is Elon Musk, who is somehow part of my family. I walk around the house meeting everyone, and I think, fuck it, I should shoot my shot. I could live with some accidental benevolence from a billionaire. While I’m standing next to the family members talking to Elon I slide in that I’m not making as many calls now that I’m out of work, and Elon seems to perk up at this, so I figure I’ve done what needs to be done.

Later I’m eating some of the dinner in the kitchen when Elon approaches me and hands me a receipt. He has pulled whatever strings were necessary to, within an hour on thanksgiving day, get a record of all the calls on my cellphone, showing that my cellphone has always had very few calls and I’d been lying about losing my job. I unload on Elon about how he is a dumbass who doesn’t understand that a call center application used VoIP, and how he’s deranged for thinking it was appropriate to pull this kind of stunt on thanksgiving. I walk off and find somewhere to take a nap.

I wake up and don’t realize it’s morning because its storming so hard it still looks like the stars are out. Elon is leaving the meeting, and he makes a comment that I shouldn’t be let near the dog toys because I might eat the dog, and I and my uncle look at each other as we try to figure out if that was a joke.

Dreamt that after my normal job I had to both go work on a 70s sitcom about sassy nurses and that I got signed to the Pistons as some sort of novelty thing. They let me wear a shirt under my jersey.

I had a dream I went to a party and they were offering crack in these like disposable freebase cups, like when you pressed them down on a surface they heated up and the straw was built in and then you threw away the cup when you were done

and they were free but only if you could come up with a term for crack the person giving em out hasn’t heard

i love having dreams about innovation in crack cocaine

dream 2: dreamed i was living in a house on the sea and there was a window that opened just above the water level and if you opened it, great white sharks would swim up and put their heads in. they were really friendly and curious like big puppies with huge eyes that rolled around and liked it when you pet their nose or rubbed their gums. i was ambivalent at first but had to accept that they were cute. will try this strat on the next shark i meet in real life and let people know how it goes.

Dreamed there was a mouse living somewhere in my house and if I put my hand out near the floor, it would come out of its hiding spot and give me some grapes

Keep dreaming that I’m back in college, because I never really graduated from college (I did), and I keep racking up degrees that “don’t count” and as I try to apply for new jobs I keep getting lower and lower offers.

Mental health is in a real good place right now, as you can guess.

I had a dream I was so drunk in public that I couldn’t figure out how to leave the restaurant, and I kept having blackout moments and then coming to even more drunk, implying I was ordering more alcohol during the blackout periods.

Was stressing out if I was going to have to pay rent on my old and new apartment, or somehow manage to move into the new apartment before the end of the month. Then I remembered that I only have a new apartment in the dream, so I just bought some nerf guns.

There are some more details but the main “plot” of my dream last night is that I shot and killed 60 ducks/geese and someone else got arrested for it, but some people in a… share house/hostel I was staying at suspected it was really me and were trying to investigate while I tried to avoid them so I could avoid being questioned

Very disappointed by my subconscious right now. In a dream I was in a meeting and roll call was being done. A member, Nort (short for Norton), wasn’t there. I said, “My man Norty By Nature? {Group laughs} He’s searching for a Real Love” and I started singing that song. My old college friend who was in attendance wasn’t impressed.

And NO WONDER, DREAM ME MADE A FUNNY BUT DOESN’T KNOW THAT’S A MARY J. BLIGE SONG

I woke up momentarily proud of my brain and then was like WAIT AH SHIT

At least my old college friend’s dream friend liked my singing
