Haven’t had any dreams in a long time. I feel stupider, but also more at peace.

I was running some sort of hybrid screening/live stream of a video tape of someone reading old issues of Fantastic Four aloud, padded out with vintage toy ads and episodes of Lost in Space.

I wake up from a nap and walk into the kitchen to notice that the microwave has been running for 70 minutes. The inside of it looks like molten magma. I turn it off and open some windows, figuring I am fucked when the landlord finds out. But then I work out that I ate the last thing I put int there, and there would have only been a few seconds of run time left in that scenario, so someone would have had to intentionally set it to over 70 minutes.

At that time I notice that the rolling status menu on the DVD player is

Who Would Have Done this?

And there is a VHS tape on top of it. I get mad enough to wake up before I can solve the mystery.

Dreamed I was in some fancy old style building, for either a party or art exhibition or similar. A blonde woman who was nearby asked me what the name of the building was and I said “I think it’s the Elizabeth-something”.

Then a friend who was lurking nearby suddenly popped out to try to impress her with his knowledge and pointed out a tiny plaque on the wall with the real name, which was some fancy olde english name.

As we walked away, the woman took my hand, and my friend seeing this was like “huh… figures” and left. Then suddenly time went past and apparently this woman was my true soul mate.

I decided it was time to take her out somewhere to do some level grinding because she was only level 1. A popup appeared in front of me saying that I couldn’t grind in the ‘normal way’ because she needs to be at least level 32 to be viable. I think this was supposed to mean that I needed to take her to the starting areas as opposed to wherever the current storyline dictated.

Then a further popup explained that manually editing her level by config file was possible, but inadvisable because then she would miss out on level perks as they only trigger on a per-level basis.

i dreamed me and my partner were both members of a still-active Black Flag, where band tensions had gotten to the point where nobody would play on each others songs. like the only song the drummer would do was his own single track per album, which consisted of spending a year slowly putting more layers of crusty spraypaint to a mailbox somewhere until it could all be peeled off and somehow scanned into an mp3 to produce standard sounding hardcore. and he could tell neither of us were feeling it and we kept having the kind of argument with lines like “its not that its not punk, but…” over and over

had a dream last night about a videogame, a souls-like, where you played as some edgy steampunk bloodborne looking kind of guy, and the environments were all totally unremarkable american suburbs, and the enemies were cute little clown car style cars. the cars had terrible pathing and would drive straight at you trying to hit you as soon as you were in their line of sight, often getting stuck on corners and such, they seemed really helpless and I think you were supposed to feel a little bad killing them. also they didn’t make car noises but instead sounded like clangy and awkward hihat and snare rhythms, which would combine with the kick and bass in the game’s soundtrack to create jungle beats that would intensify w the cars proximity, except this system really only worked with one enemy and if you got surrounded by cars it’d just be this horrible percussion cacophony.

dreamt of a woman loosely captive in what was maybe a prison or maybe a zoo, who’d had a child and also suffered some kind of brain damage that made her unable to recognize it. she was like “where’s my baby” as i watched a crocodile or something bite it in half. it was oddly bloodless until i thought “wait where’s the blood” then there was some

That I had died after finally meeting someone I’ve talked with online for years. Together in heaven, we were tasked to make sandwiches for David Lynch. The dream sandwich was not very Lynchian, consisting of a roll grilled with butter (he made small talk, asking if we knew what a roll like that was called in the UK. I told him “breadcake” and he said yes, and that it was a wonderful yet simple word for a wonderful yet simple baked good), with sliced turkey and a slightly sweet vegan lunchmeat alternative made with pea protein and dyed purple with beets. It was topped with a spread made of roasted sweet corn, horseradish, mayo and grated cheddar. If not for the strange purple fake meat I’d have tried already to recreate this.

Oh hey I also dreamed about David Lynch. He was taking me on some guided tour in some kind of hot air balloon or cable car through a 3D landscape that looked like something out of a 90s CD ROM game. I forget most of our conversation, but I remember him pointing and saying “Would ya look at that! Numbats!”
The creatures he was pointing out were clinging to palm trees and looked more like sloths or monkeys made of spheres, but they were labelled ‘Numbats’ by the game UI.
I realised eventually that he had already passed away, so this was meant to be his last trip through this landscape before he moved on.

Had my first dream in weeks. I was running late for a show because I ran into someone on the bill elsewhere while on the way and knew I had a bit of time then got sidetracked talking to someone else about Drive Away Dolls.

dreamed about exploring an old castle that also turned out to contain a mysterious but semi famous gacha ball place, where you had to fire a capsule egg down a bowling lane and it comes back with a type of metal bead inside, which can be used on the appropriate capsule machine in the lobby. i vaguely remember it being a famous place for youtubers to go (in the dream). when i did it i got a giant frog head penciltopper that could open its mouth which was realistically wet and kinda gross. then i watched a documentary on the chinese communist party, which seemed to end by saying all the old guy party leaders were also collecting the balls.
