i get the (dream) logic but this wouldn’t be any faster than driving one car all the way and then walking all the way back right?

I guess wherever I was going was too far for a return walk so this weird yo-yo method was the solution

I’m feeling sentimental today because I had a very sentimental dream.
I had gotten the opportunity to use a time machine in order to go back to my first teaching job in 2016 (a Montessori kindergarten in China). There was one small change though. Instead of going back to that exact year, I went back to the year before and worked as a teaching intern. I had many moments where I recognized my former students as younger than how I knew them. Meanwhile, nobody knew who I was and I could just enjoy being in their company again. I cried in my dream because the nostalgia was too strong.
In my waking mind, I often get the same nostalgic feeling. As a teacher, you just meet and bond with dozens of people you may never see again. I was really lucky to return to the same city in 2018. We even visited the school. We came dropped by whem they were dismissing students. One of my old students recognized me and ran up to me with a big hug. Just one of those perfect experiences that happens every few years I guess.

I dreamed I was on a train to escape a country that was also a distinct metaphysical realm to a place that was trans friendly albeit still infested with internecine lgbt conflict. But when it came time to gather my bags and get off the train, which I wasn’t even sure I had to do (they called out something like “child cases deboard” which I wasn’t sure meant children or something else) my luggage was a seemingly endless fractal mess that I could make no progress in organizing. There was also some sort of difference in time perception complicating things. It was like I had the time perception of being asleep so didn’t know how long had actually passed on the train independently of the process of trying to gather luggage.
There were two simultaneous poorly integrated threads. One was that a newly born AI had trouble parsing erroneous syntax, most notably sentences without spaces between the words, and needed a general principle to solve problems like this. The other was that the AI was trying to figure out what trans people it could save and this ended up including people who were cryopreserved and a subset of people from the bad metaphysical place but I don’t remember more than that.

I’ve been going in and out of dreams waiting for for this fever to break, and I’ve been concepting a cyberpunk worlds of ultima game in this state. Maybe this is the fever talking, but it feels like something that might be worth pursuing.

This is such an amazing detail … The dreaming mind is the world’s biggest genius

We were hanging out at a stadium with a pool in it, and country rocker Lucy Dacus appeared out of the blue and started doing increasingly elaborate stunt dives beginning with doing a flip over us into the pool and culminating in jumping from a jeep that was jumping over the stadium evel keneval style.

I’ve become involved in an adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, first it seems as crew, and then picked to have a part as one of several characters Tybalt is split up into. Unfortunately I don’t know why they picked me, and after they run down the list of the cast I forget which one I am. There’s a big group of people gathered for this selection, faces I don’t know, voices I do, and we’re all gathered in a big but unfinished house with exposed walls. One of the actors does a short reading from the treatment and it’s clearly something different they’re going for.
After that they gather all the big name actors upstairs to hammer out another version of the script, and we’re left to mill around. I keep getting more paranoid about the role (“Did they want me for a naturalistic performance?” “I should have remembered which character I am, right?”) until they finally come downstairs. A third of the actors are leaving the production, and the producer wants me to go upstairs to read the new version of the script. I only get as far as the Capulets owning the cyrptocurrency that the US dollar is pegged to before I wake up.

I was walking with someone up the hill in my hometown to my old house, but I was running low on strength. Each step upwards was an ordeal — I was practically crawling up the hill towards the end (I might have been carrying something, but it’s all a blur now).
I got to the point where I was literally right across the street from the house. I tried standing up and walking, but I only made it halfway across the street before collapsing. I tried crawling or rolling out of the way, but to no avail. My walking partner didn’t seem to notice my plight. I looked slightly up and saw a car coming down the street, but I couldn’t tell whether or not it was slowing down.

I keep having dreams where the common thread is that the lights don’t work. I need light to see what I’m doing or drive away a malicious entity and every light source is useless. Light switches do nothing, flashlights flicker and offer no helpful illumination. Any light there is is too dim to be sufficient.

Dreamed that either King Kong or Donkey Kong (not sure which, but he just looked like a regular gorilla but bigger) had been captured and locked in a lab where the walls all kind of looked like white crystal or glass or something. Apparently he was being a menace and so they needed to detain him, and then they merged his DNA with a human and turned him into a human child with dreadlocks.
Then the dream sort of switched to me being the POV of human Kong, and I was being forced to play some sport that was like volleyball but you had to try to throw tennis balls over the net to hit people on the other side or something. But the ceiling was so low and my ability to throw the ball was hampered by some weird dream physics, so I couldn’t get it over the net. Everyone was laughing at me and so I got really angry and turned back into a gorilla and started smashing things.
Then hordes of people started flooding in and it became like some crazy Musou game where I was swinging and swiping my arms around and sending waves of people and glass/crystal shards of the walls flying everywhere

Had a dream that I kept getting a lot of high paying gigs, but getting each gig was contingent on killing someone and taking over their work.
The dream was mostly me having the epiphany that I had been duped and I was just being used to murder people. I was filling out a job application for a full-time job and I could only describe my current occupation with a single word on the form.
“Oh my God,” I said. “Assassin!”

I had a dream within a dream, which is a thing I didn’t know I could do.
I dreamt I had a goth girlfriend, but we broke up, but then I had a dream within the dream that we didn’t break up and we fought Dracula, but then I woke up and we were still broken up, and then I woke up for real and had no goth girlfriend in the first place.

I dreamed I was living in a very trashy and sort of ghetto-ized hotel for transfems and femboys. I got into some sort of criminal hacking enterprise with Samuel L Jackson, who then brought in another hacker and made some sort of maneuver to automate what we were doing so he could seize it for himself and kill me. I tried to turn the other hacker against him but he responded by killing the other hacker and I had to run away.

i dreamed i was dating a girl who was a professional columbo speedrunner by which i mean she went into full 3d holodeck style recreations of columbo episodes or maybe it was some kind of columbo astral plane and put on a trenchcoat and i guess it was how fast you get the evidence? and she invited me to play columbo with her in 2 player mode and i kept getting in her way and messing with her run but we accidentally started unlocking all new scenes that peter falk had hidden(?) and she was frantically trying to record it all to update the wiki

I dreamed I was prescribed injectable mouse bites.
I also dreamed Team Rocket successfully stole all the pokemon from Ash, Misty, and Brock in Season One and the rest of the anime was just them tracking down and following Team Rocket to shout increasingly pathetic complaints and demands at them.
