Dreams

[ch00beh]

filipino singles yeah

come to dragon*con in august. we can hook up there and stuff. am i doing this subtlety thing right?

ps. I took melatonin last night and had a dream that someone tricked me into swimming and I was completely unable to form a paddle with my arm and was going really slow and it was pretty embarrassing. then some stuff happened in an old town gas station that probably involved buying snacks.

melatonin dreams are not very special.

[SV]

I'll be in school :c
Atlanta's only like 3 hours away...
What? All this subtlety, I don't even know.

I don't remember having any dreams on melatonin. I was probably too asleep. Melatonin is not an exciting substance.

[ch00beh]

3 hours isn't that far

[Beelzebibble]

Two minutes in heaven is worth six hours in the car.

[SV]

Is that an aggregate two minutes? 'cause I mean, with ample intermissions, one could aspire to four minutes. Perhaps even five.

Last night I dreamed that Iron Mouse proposed an Archie Exie trading card game. Except she wanted to stick to the same energy sources as in MTG: Plains, Forests, Mountains, Swamps, and Islands.

I said "Why don't we switch it up and do something like Magic, Tech, Biology, Wealth, and Skill?"

That was the end of that particular geeky interlude.

I had a dream where I was going to some huge college that doubled as a hospital for the city it was in. I met some old lady and became a good friend of hers. She disappeared for awhile and when I finally saw her again she was in tears because someone close to her had died. After giving her a hug and assuring her that everything would be ok I wandered around the campus until I saw a friend of mine from high school. I then followed him around and, when he ducked into a building, I attempted to "kill him" (I grab his head and pretend to snap his neck). Right before I reached towards him to do this though, he stepped out of the way and I grabbed a different friend and started doing it to her, which kinda pissed her off.

Then I discovered that a whole bunch of people I knew from high school were there, I spent a bunch of time catching up with them (and killing my one friend repeatedly), spent more time wandering around. Then I woke up.

Going to branch off this discussion into a separate topic to keep things orderly. I'll edit a link to it into this post.

And here we go!

I had a dream where I was wandering around a large town on top of a tall, narrow mountain. The roads were made of small stone bricks and the buildings out of large stone bricks. At night huge wild animals would find their way into town to look for food. One night I saw a large gray wolf (about 5'5" or 6 ft even, about 3'5" from shoulder to shoulder). I hid behind a ledge before it could see me, then I ambushed it with a shotgun when it came close.

With the wolf dead I felt relieved, up until I heard a whimpering sound from behind it. It was then that I discovered it had been traveling with a very small cub and I became really sad about killing its mom so I decided I'd take the small cub home with me. When I reached home I shared what had happened with my roommates; Yellow Skittle (my wife), Lee, Clicker, and another man. We all sat down to play a board game (Life, I think), except Skittle who went to bed. After awhile I went to check on her and the other animals we had. There was a cat named Saysa on the bed, a young black and white fox named Vulpes, and the gray wolf. The wolf and fox scrambled out of the room and I wound up chasing them down, which led to playing with Vulpes and following the wolf around.

At one point I was playing with Vulpes and she scratched me and I went and furiously scrubbed my hands because I was concerned about rabies, I remember thinking it was odd that I was concerned about this when the fox had been there for over a month, but I wasn't concerned about the wolf carrying them.

I had a dream last night that I saw Kate Upton's lady bits.

I don't even like Kate Upton.

[Beelzebibble]

Oh, sorry, I think you must have stumbled into my dream. Was this in the Galapagos? Were penguins bringing drinks and hors d'oeuvres?

[SV]

It was a poorly thought out shift of pose in the middle of some kind of Youtube-esque video. Apparently I don't even get to interact with people in my dreams.

I had a dream where i ate an Asian pear and it was delicious. Then I woke up and I still had two in my kitchen so I ate one of them and it was delicious.

I just dreamed that I had been on a long road trip with a bunch of kids, kinda like I'd been chaperoning them, though I'd traveled separately. We saw some natural landmarks, as well as historical places, such as this house on a cliff that had a stone arch connecting to the road below. The nighttime view of the sky was fantastic, though it contained a lot of pink for some strange reason. We also passed a small canyon on the way back that had perfectly smooth walls and an equally smooth floor. In the floor of it was a large opening that was surrounded by this rainbow colored material. Nearby was some tall building (government, I think) what had been built somewhat into the rocky land itself, rather than be built on it. The remaining rock face acted as sort of a natural barrier on all sides of the building, except for where it had been intentionally removed so that roads could be placed and the building could be accessed. As we passed it I noticed some of the same rainbow colored rock that was in the canyon.

One night we stopped at a grocery store. As we were leaving we saw this family loading groceries into their car, which had a slightly odd shape but a really beautiful green color and had been given away as part of a promotion by Mountain Dew, the dad took a few steps away from the door to respond to his wife and then a couple people climbed right into it. At first I thought they were going to just steal the groceries, but after a quick rummage through them they slammed the car door shut and sped off, leaving the family behind. So my group piled into our vehicle had (which didn't have any kids in it, they were all riding back on buses) and we sped off after them. Occasionally we'd pass the thieves and we'd try to setup a sort of roadblock, but they'd get past us and we'd try to catch up again.

Eventually we made our way back and I told my wife some of what happened, including that one group would be coming back soon because one of the older kids was getting car sick a lot and that they had doped her up heavily and as best as they could for the trip, while still handing her plastic bags. Afterwards we were picking up the place (which I think was some sort of orphanage) and I somehow called a high school friend with a baby monitor. Better yet, I got to hear a voice message I had left him where I was going on about Hoenn, but became distorted and ended with me seemingly shouting Hoenn multiple times into the phone with increasing volume. Eventually the kids came back and were happy and playing. One girl, about seven years old, wound up play-fighting with me and I held her in a choking position and prepared to finish her off, I asked my wife if we could just kill her off because we had another Asian girl in the house, the kid thought it was just the most fun ever and laughed and squealed with delight before going off to play with the other kid. Towards the end of it I started talking to my mom, who was running the place, and I expected my stepfather to show up. Then I heard a voice going on about needing to return the milk. At first I thought it was my stepdad, but then the speaker went around the corner and turned out to be a mutual friend of ours dressed in full police getup. Apparently he had set the milk on fire. Not the container, I even specifically asked him about that, but he managed to set the actual milk on fire. Then I woke up.

Really, I just don't see topping a dream where you're informed that the milk itself had somehow burst into flames.

Blood you seem to remember every vivid detail of your dreams while I can't even remember the last time that I remember dreaming. How do you do it?

So this time I dreamed that a giant underground construction project had been started. This huge area was being carved out to make a giant underground university, which was already accepting tons of students before they'd even finished shaping the underground caverns that had been made. Below that was another school, a very prestigious one, had started and was inviting people to join them.

Tons of people were trying out for it, many of them, such as Lee, trying for the combat test. They'd fight this one guy and his team, and he'd evaluate them based on their power, skill, and tactics used. I didn't see anyone actually get approved for the school by him, and many others took the second test option; they had to find something.

A friend and I didn't really care about getting in, so we just explored the underground dirt "laberynth", even climbing back up into the main tunnel out just to see how high it would go. When I rose up high enough (even though I didn't think it was that high) the music from Terraria that plays when you reach the upper portions of the sky began to go roll throughout my head. I then decided to go back down and explore the cavern properly. Eventually as we explored we came across a giant dragon's skull in a cleared area and found a way to open it up, revealing a fleshy tongue and throat. After some hesitation I went into it, reaching a stomach-like area. After a short time my friend came down too. Inside this stomach was a man who greatly looked like InuYasha in human form (he looked just different enough that no one could call copyright infringement). He was a bit cocky, and somewhat scared of being on some giant floating rock in the belly of a beast) and eventually we persuaded him to come with us. On the other side of the cavernous stomach was a stone room full of stone walls, all with oddly shaped hour-glasses attached to them. Instead of being full of sand they glowed red and blue and filled up with a golden liquid. Some were very nearly full of this golden material, others glowed red, with a small separate section of blue, between the red and the golden liquid, and a few were almost totally blue. All of them had gold in the lower-half.

As I looked around I saw another skull that could take us lower, and a tunnel that provided a straight drop down as well. Then I saw something I hadn't noticed before: the hour-glasses had plates beneath them and on those plates in very fancy text were the names of different people who had been trying to get into the school. As I walked around examining them I found the only people who had allegedly gotten in: a group who got past the combat test. Their hourglasses were entirely gold and instead of just nameplates they had a statue of the five of them placed nearby their hourglasses and the nameplates were placed beneath their statues. The statues themselves had been done in a somewhat animeish style and were made of a light green material, similar in shade to glow-in-the-dark toys.

Eventually I stumbled on my own plate, and my friend's, and discovered that they were some of the few that were nearly gold, though mine had a bit of red to it and my friend's was red on top with a small section of blue in the middle. We realized that this meant we were close to being accepted into the school and were excited by it. We turned to our faux-InuYasha to share our excitement with him, only to see him start his "demon transformation". His heard grew much larger and obtained a chipmunk-like quality to it, and a large afro grew as well. I then recognized him as someone I'd seen before, and eve wanted to kill, but let the issue drop and simply left through the next tunnel and abandoned him there.

The room that we landed in looked almost exactly like the one above; it had the same size and shape, and even possessed stones cut the same way as the one above. Instead of having short stone walls holding the hourglasses it had stone doorways with light radiating out of them. At closer examination, there wasn't just light but images of places, all of which I knew. My friend and I both freaked out a bit, and in different ways, sending bright flashes of red and blue through our faces. After a time I calmed down and decided to test the portals, choosing one with my grandmother's house in it I took step through it.

I reappeared, instantly, in my grandmother's front lawn. I went inside and discovered that a bunch of my family was visiting. My aunt and uncle from Colorado, and their son, as well as my cousin from Florida and her husband and son (both of which I've never met). I spent most of my time avoiding them all and just explored the house. Although there weren't any decorations, the general air of the place and the energy everyone had made it seem like it was a holiday (likely it was around the time of Thanksgiving). Eventually though, some small problems started to come up and I chose to leave and return back to the underground caverns, which were, thankfully, very nearby.

To get into the cavern I had to climb the huge dirt and stone wall. As I dropped down into the cavern's opening and came across a room built into it's side. I stepped inside and met a woman who didn't seem at all bothered by my barging into her home and she talked, as she hurried about the place and after a time I took my leave back down into the caverns. Near the bottom of the tunnel, where it opened back up into the half cleared space for the school, I came upon my own home and went inside briefly. Discovering nothing of interest I didn't linger, and instead went into the caverns again. There I met a representative of the school everyone aspired to join (I believe it was the combat tester, though it could just have looked like him). He told me that my friend and I had entered a part of the school and that it was supposed to be off limits. However, the school was very interested in how we came to find the place and eventually he offered us both a place in the school (in the dream he just kinda babbled for a bit and it was kinda like hearing Banjo of Banjo-Kazooie talk, I think it was done to show the conversation took a long time, I guess my mind didn't want to cover it) . I thanked him and went back to exploring.

I came across one of the few areas in the caverns that had been built. It was little more than a hallway with a boiler and some janitorial items, but the walls and the floor were solid, and the ceiling had lights placed in it. In the hall was a man named Roy. He was bald, though it seemed he'd shaved the majority of his hair off, and he was slightly shorter than average. Roy took us to the back of the hallway where several snakes were hanging from metal bars by their tails. At the very end of the hallway, by the wall, was another snake that was resting on the floor. Roy took one of the smaller snakes that was hanging from the bar and untied it, then placed it by the other snake. The snake that had been on the ground opened it's mouth wide and unhinged it's jaw, and the smaller one proceeded to slither to it. I thought it was going to attack, but it climbed into the other one's jaw, and was eaten. Roy seemed amused by this, and warned us to beware of the snakes nearby, as some of them were poisonous and rather vicious, such as the rattlesnake hiding under the bench nearby. We left Roy, avoiding the snakes, and returned back our home.

Time seemed to pass, everyone was older in this next part (I think I woke up, though maybe not). My wife didn't like Roy much, but we were now trapped down here in this cavern. A holocaust had raged overhead and eventually the world fell apart, or at least near where we were. Being so deep underground we were spared, but that was it. Our original tunnel to the surface was no longer used, but an immense tunnel and opening had been opened nearby and opened over a field. The opening to this tunnel had a large door that could be shut and sealed to prevent others from accessing our homes and to protect us from other dangers. Roy had become a fairly prominent member of the community and my wife fought with him frequently. One day he lured her to the mosque he ran and started a deadly fight with her in an attempt to kill her. I came along and discovered the fight, but didn't have the means to interfere. None of this bothered Kasanna all that much, years of being stuck in the caverns had hardened her and this wasn't the first time Roy had attacked her.

Still, I dashed back to our home, to look for a weapon. I found cat-claw weapon, though its claws were more like whips. I started back and saw a man with a gun and asked to borrow it, which he agreed to. As I got half-way back I had a sudden thought: Roy would have a deadman's switch on him in this fight, and would blow the place up with killed. Still, I dashed back and came across the pair fighting in the main tunnel, leaping to strike at each other, to little affect, or quickly firing off rounds from handguns which missed. I quickly climbed up after than and struck Roy multiple times with the claws. Still he climbed up to the top and started to close the doors. I leaped up and grabbed his left leg, pulling it back down into the hole and slamming it against the sliding door. A sickening tearing sound occurred and I let go of the leg in surprise, falling back down. I caught a hold of the dirt wall and held on as the door sealed shut above me.

I dashed back through town, gathering up everyone I could. The caverns were going to be blown up. Many of them had met up at my church and when I told them they panicked. Some immediately started spreading the word and soon the tunnels and pathways were filled with fleeing bodies. Sounds heard off in the distance alerted others to what was coming. I grabbed a few people and quickly assigned them tasks, one of them was my friend for ages ago when we explored and got admitted into the school in the "laberynth". He took a few others and led a large number of people through the original hole, while others went to reopen the main one. I led a few people up to an old exit that had been built by a supermarket as the sounds grew louder. Quickly I climbed up into the abandoned store and many came up after me. Soon we were safe inside the old building and eventually the sounds ceased.

People were quite happy in the store. Many of its foods were well packaged and sealed, resulting in little of it spoiling. The freezers had stayed cold as well and the food there seemed safe. It was as if the market had been restocked only a day before, and people started gather up food. It was amazing to hear some of them talk. One man, who had grabbed some frozen meals, was overjoyed by how the food would last him over a month, while before the war it would have lasted him and his family a little over a week. Others shared similar joys, and then I woke up.

I was a member of some space crew and we were leaving a building, I think it was a bar, and we got ambushed by Ferengi (or at least they looked like them) from Star Trek. We were threatened but mostly managed to talk our way out of the problem, until one of them hit me with a small blade on the pommel of a war axe. I was then bodily picked up and carried back to the ship where I was placed on the ground and pretended to hold a conversation with Malcolm Reynolds (who may or may not have been our captain, I think I was delirious in my dream). Next thing I know my wife rolls a machine over to me whose rust resembles that of 100 year old farm equipment. Next thing I know, she puts the axe that the Ferengi guy had into this circle at the base of the machine, then she lifts this one section, which was basically a series of short blades with hooks on the end, then clamps it down on the upper part of my leg.

It hurt, a lot, but not unbearably so. I screamed as I felt the metal bite into my leg, then I remained still as crew members looked on before dashing away to take care of some business that was unknown to me. I laid there for minutes on end before eventually pushing the machine off me and getting up. My pants were torn, quite badly, but my leg was largely ok.

I walked around for a little bit while my wife talked to someone (Mal, I think but I wasn't sure in my dream) about the wound. I then proceeded to examine the area that I'd been struck and found a small cut where I'd been pierced by the axe, with a purple area growing around that. They then come over and look at it before telling me that I'll have to go back into the machine. They explain that the poison comes from some sort of "demon" and that the treatment involved quills from some animal, and that said quills had been built into the blades that had cut into me. I quickly agree to climb back in, but that I was going to go to the bathroom first, to which my wife comments on that being a good idea (so that the treatment could continue uninterrupted).

After I relieve myself in the bathroom I check the wound again. It's grown, massively so, and created a huge mass near the uppermost portion of my leg. The vast majority of it is a dull purple, but close to where it connects to my leg properly it's a light, sickly, green color and where it actually connects to my leg it's brown. The purple flesh is bubbling upwards while moving around, as if trying to push the healthy flesh in my leg aside so it could grow. I push on the bubbles, and my flesh, in a desperate attempt to contain it before dashing back to the machine.

Then my wife puts the axe back into the circle and I climb back into the machine. She begins fiddling with buttons, one of which drops down a spinning device with three small scythe-like blades, as well as some strange fourth blade, that proceeds to spin and cut deeply into my leg, just above the knee.

I had a dream that I was at Camp Meeting in Union Springs, and for some reason, we'd taken a big house boat (when I say big, I mean like it was multiple houseboats connected together, almost like a train) out on the lake. While I was paddling a canoe to get closer, I saw Pohatu riding on the back of the boat, taking in the views.

I hopped on board, and had a brief conversation with him. We saw some lilypads, and I mentioned I always appreciated lotuses and what they represented.

Pohatu responded, "Well, my favorite flowers are the little green ones you can eat."

It was only after I woke up that I realized he'd said his favorite flowers were CAPERS.

Well played, dream Pohatu.

Cendra: I think I dreamed about a heist roleplay where characters tried to steal a signed baseball...
Lee: Ishkabaseball?

[{WW}BetaBloodWolf7]

I sadly don't recall most of this dream, but the bit I do recall was fairly interesting, at least in my opinion.

I was inside this man's mind, he worked at a school as a lecturer. The school itself was ancient, an old castle that was the sole survivor of some cataclysm that had destroyed the surrounding town. Only one other structure had survived; the temple stone. The temple stones were large stone rings that contained a yellow field. Things would have to pass through this yellow field then stand on the other side. After a few moments the field would pull them back in and then transport them elsewhere. Things that touched the field without passing through would explode. The field would flood into them, fill them, and rip them apart.

These rings dot the countryside, a relic of some long lost age. Some of them were used for mass transportation between locations. Others were guarded and people weren't allowed to even go near them, as if some danger lurked on the other side. An evil that could only be released by some fool that stepped through and let it go.

The temple stone by the school was such a ring. It was guarded night and day by soldiers in heavy scale armor with golden cloth denoting them as temple stone guards. The man whose head I occupied taught through the day and was well respected and liked. At night a dark voice called out to him. It would shout and rage until, finally, the man began to slip into insanity. One night he sneaked towards the temple stone. Large bugs (about the size of turkeys) would, occasionally, be drawn to the golden light and would get caught in the field before exploding. It was the only real action the guards saw. The lecturer crept over to the side and approached one of the guards that patrolled the perimeter. The voice called to him and ordered him to dispose of the guard. The man drew a knife and approached her. A moment before he struck he put the knife away, then swung as hard as he could at her head, knocking her out (a move deemed safer than attempting to stab her and possibly getting drawn into a fight or alerting others with a scream). He then dashed around to the front of the the temple stone (one of the largest ever created) and stepped through just as the guards spotted him. They shouted and swore, but were too late. The man stayed crouched on the platform past the stone. A guard called out that he could see a face, then the man disappeared to join that voice.

[Beelzebibble]

I dreamed that George Buckland showed up again, but in addition to him constantly calling Emily "Emilia" for some reason, Lee/Clicker also wrote every mention of Emily within her own perspective as "Emilia" whenever George was around. There was definitely some kind of weird brainwashing effect going on there.

[Tout-Perd]

It's probably some Prime/Primus bullshit. Emily's her mortal incarnation, whereas Emilia is her divine side that schismed off last time that Emily died and was reincarnated. Later on, when Emily is losing a fight, I'll pull Emilia out of my buttcrack and have her merge with Emily and grant her powers as the GOD OF CUPCAKES.

Also, at some point in an RP, the greatest mortal chef in the entire world (as written by Biscuit) puts their entire life's work into making the best cupcake possible, and it ALMOST is as decent as Emilia's worst cupcake. Because of this, Clicker and I will throw a gigantic protest, hold up dozens of RPs, and proceed to scream "YOUR POST WAS BULLSHIT AND I WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT!" any time anybody ever mentions it.

Maaan, fuck Primus

[Beelzebibble]

You have to tell me which post the "greatest chef" analogy refers to.

You did this to yourself, Lee. I didn't dredge up those memories for you. But now I have to read it.

[Tout-Perd]

Good ol' Sea God, where Primus insisted he had to upgrade all of our characters so they'd be ready to tussle with some deities. Mind you, this was Zebedee at the peak of his power, Yoshimitsu at the peak of his power, Albatross at the peak of his power, so in other words, every heavy hitter in the site except Valon, and all borderline God-tier.

Zebedee was having NONE of that malarkey, and was like "I don't need any upgrades, my God's power is enough." He then whipped out the Maranatha (a weapon so powerful that it can bitchslap Bagan and Yisimentsu around effortlessly, quite possibly the singular most powerful weapon in the entire setting. Whenever he swings it, it literally rips the sky in half and leaves massive valleys in its wake, and SPECIFICALLY gets stronger when used against other deific figures), and with a full powered swing, gave Primus a paper-cut.

Prime threw a gigantic tantrum, went on hiatus for a month, and killed Kevin's RP, because he said it was superplaying that Zebedee, a character who'd been around for over a decade, using the most powerful weapon in the entire setting, with enough backlash that every time he's drawn it, it takes a full plot afterwards for him to recuperate, and managed to give Primus a shaving nick. (In his words, Primus is the God of Swords, so even the most powerful sword in all the universe, crafted for slaying deities by the creator deity, is not sufficient to cut him.)

[Tout-Perd]

(huh, apparently Prime didn't kill the RP, it limped on for another half a page... But maaan, look at him sulk when all of us go "No, thanks, we don't want you forcibly upgrading our main characters.")

i had a dream that i had just graduated from monster fighting high school where i made myself a harmonica that could be used to channel my psychic powers and started classes in monster fighting college. at one point for some reason my home base under a waterfall had the power generator blow up (i think it was lightning during the day?) and the thinger that kept bad bros from teleporting in shut down, so when i got home i had to use my katana to fight off two buff skeletons. the dream ended where for some reason i couldn't play my harmonica anymore, or the basic recorder i had that could also channel my powers, and it was a huge bummer and i guess that made me wake up.
