This is the thread to share any weird dreams you have had...recently or in the past...

Last night
________________________

So I was living with my mother who was a witch in our slum in some medieval city. I learned that she wanted to discard her shriveled body and make me, her "daughter", her new host. She needed her magic book to do so. Then I felt an evil force coming over me. First I thought that she was trying to do the ritual, but then I realized that I was becoming one with death, becoming the next incarnation of the Ninth Soul of Nihilus (a character from my book, but the "ninth soul" idea was from my dream), which is a fragment of the Dark Lord Nihilus. I felt evil coming over me and I decended into some dark void and heard loud spirit evil noises.

I then found out it was just my sound machine...like another dream I had the other night with a dark spirit in my basement.

I then had a dream where I was a detective living in London and I had to go back in time to prevent the death of an attractive, blonde casino girl and this other dude, so I did and went up with her in the elevator and went to her and the other dude's room, but a redneck came with a gun because he wanted to shoot the other guy (who was dead's) guns, but I stopped him and saved the girl who was bleeding and I took her to British General Hospital and we kissed.

Then I had a dream where I was a lego and in a world full of imaginext/fisher price medieval action figures from the ninetees and I had a small castle and had to find the chosen one (who I built out of legos) and defend it against the orcs. Then my dad didn't let me play anymore, but I went back and became a lego again and defended the castle, but I was joined by my companions from Dragon Age Origins and Neverwinter Nights 2...

I spent hours looking for one of my companions, whom I had to build out of lego pieces...

Two Nights ago
___________________________

So, there is this guy with two brothers (he is also brothers with the two girls from Frozen).

Their father abdicates the throne, giving one city to one of the brothers, the capital to the girls, and, finally, another one to another brother, but the father announces that the brother who controls the last city cannot produce an heir of his own, saying that the last brother will be king of the city.

Meanwhile, up on an asteroid, these strange men are harvesting bacon orbs, but they must finish before the asteroid orbits and turns toward the sun since they will all get fried. They finish in the knick of time, but they capture the brother who is not yet king and try to invade the city from above.

Meanwhile, Darth Revan travels down to the city and meets up with Gilligan and Skipper and they go to a ship and start singing the theme to Gilligan's Island, but then, they stop singing and it is hard for me to talk to them since they don't listen. This is after I call my brother to watch the show.

An army of Whipersnappers try to invade, attacking the walls, and all of them spring into action. Meanwhile, from above, the Howe's from Gilligan's island airdrop one of the other brothers and his men to defend the city, but they have to cloak their arrival by squirting poop out from a large hose that covers the men, but they have a fart machine that will protect them somehow.

In the meantime, those alien things are still coming down, but they have the brother held hostage and then they begin droping chocolate bacon bombs on the city.

My dream ended as the armies all amassed to do battle...

I think it is a social commentary of some sort. I will base a story off of it. Maybe it is about the division of Congress between the Democrats and Republicans...

Everytime I dream I'm royalty, I am always, ALWAYS usurped.
Excepting that one time in which I was on the run from my would-be usurper.
It's a pity my dreams ALWAYS end at the climax so I have to imagine an ending. It's just not the same. Unless all those endings were downers and my brain was trying to spare my feelings.
But a downer ending is still better than no ending.

I never usually have weird dreams but this year has been a record year for them.

Around December, I dreamt that I woke up and I saw a caterpillar-tarantula-cat. This cat was bright orange and super fluffy and it the size of a cat, but it was long and round like a caterpillar. Its head was an entire tarantula, legs and everything. Pretty scary stuff. It snuck through an open window (???) and crawled onto my bed and came up to my face and I screamed (out loud, actually, and woke up my visitors). I remember feeling terrified and also thinking, as it moved on, "At least it's going over to Andrea and left me alone." Obviously, I am self-centred dreamer.

My second dream happened just recently. There's a guy from school that I was kind of dating for awhile until I kind of freaked out and ended it all, despite actually really liking him. Anyway, we've since moved on (or so I thought) but I had a dream about him. We were walking around in a big department store that kind of looked like a hybrid between Walmart, Target, and a big Canadian grocery chain called Superstore. Anyway, we came to one of those large open coolers that often have frozen pie shells and microwave dinners. Inside, there was a big white bucket full of fried calamari. The guy (let's call him Hugh) dug around in the bucket for awhile and found a very large squid with lots of tentacles. Hugh then proceeded to start brushing his hair with the fried squid tentacles.

Yeah, I don't know.

I had a really weird dream where I was in a dark room and like I was glued to the floor or something. Anyway. I tried getting up but every time I did (you know those realistic dreams, where you feel the pain even though the pain isn't real?) I could feel my skin peeling away. So I was just trying to get up and then suddenly in the distance (or as far as I could see - I was laying down, mind you), a broccoli shaped silhouette. It was running towards me but at the same time, it was just moving away.
Anyway. As I was pulling at the glue, my skin kept coming off. Within the next minute, when the lights come on, the Mario theme song starts playing and the next thing I know giant Phineas (from Phineas and Ferb) and cheese chip (I can't think of the name right now; deal with it) are fighting over me. When the lights come on, the broccoli shaped silhouette I mentioned eariler, was actually three men running.

Another weird dream I had was this moving red tower. You had to climb up some jello stairs and try to reach the top; if you reached the top, you slid down a balloon slide and if you didn't, well, you died. Anyway. My friends and I (I think we were little in the dream?) were climbing and suddenly the building just starts shaking, like a bouncy house during an earthquake, and my friend (I don't remember her name) just shots out the nearest windows and falls to her death. My other friend (who I think was named Naomi) is screaming and the next thing I know this chicken suit person comes running down the steps, grabs Naomi by the wrist, and throws her out along with my other friend.

Now, I am cornered at this point and since dream me in 'supposedly' more awesome in the fighting range, I bounce off the walls of the red tower and kick the chicken suit person in the face. Then after that some turkeys come flying through the window, crying innocent children in the tower and throwing them out. Luckily enough I escape; but this is far from over.
I don't remember much of what happened after the turkeys and whatnot, but I did (somehow) make it up to the top of the red tower. However, the tower was now moving quite quickly, causing me to stumble about.

So, as I said before, dream me is pretty awesome and can do some cool things. Yet there are some downfalls for being dream me; you carry spaghetti in your pockets. As I am going down the balloon slide, spaghetti just keeps falling out of the pockets and I'm crying really hard due to this.
By the end of the dream, the theme park that held the red tower is now overpopulated with turkeys and I think they were trying to steal my pocket spaghetti.

I don't know what half of my dreams are about; I have plenty more but those are the main two that I remember.

This was actually a while ago. I typically have 'out there' dreams, but I can't seem to get this one out of my head.

My best friend (not someone I knew, just a projection) and his family were all at his grandmother's house for a summer reunion and he invited me to stay with him. Only, somehow I 'died' while I was there and the grandmother had trapped my spirit in the real world by using something involving her study tower. I tried to find a solution, but only found out that the tower was a giant maze filled with secret passages- but then I lost substance and fell though the floor and into the the dining room. Only the dog seemed to notice.

I eventually convinced my friend(s) that I was real and we went on this road trip to a lazy river with strange statues lining it. I stopped to investigate, and then was chased by a crocodile that was trying to eat my soul. I escaped into this warehouse/apartment type building and found my 'dream dad,' only he had gone crazy and started hoarding red couches.

My entire situation supposedly had to do with a sping the building was built over. I jumped from the balcony of my dad's place into the water, but woke up before I could investigate

I had a dream once where I was in high school with all my friends. Sounds normal, right? Nope. Because in our same universe there were these people that were mostly human but could shift into a specific animal and were stronger than average people. And around the area our school was in, different leaders ruled sections of territory and these people that could transform were their servants/subordinates.
So anyway. There was this one shifter that was a dog, except her name was Lamb. Don't ask me why, I don't know. And she always hung around the school because her leader told her to so she could keep up with everyone and get all the recent news. Lamb was kind of snobby against the other shifters because she thought they were inferior and that their leaders were as well. She was convinced that her leader was the best, and the most "good" of all the leaders.
When my friends and I would wander around the school, sometimes I'd see this orange tabby cat that was bigger than average, but every time I would follow it I would lose it. I couldn't figure out why the cat was around, but I know it made me feel safe. Well one day on the way to class, I came across this orange haired boy in an alley who looked really surprised to see me. He freaked out and sprinted away, so I was still left in the dark. This continued for a few weeks, and then bad things started happening around the school. People were getting attacked, things were breaking down, just strange and terrible events going on everywhere. And I was out delivering candy to my group of students (I was one of those people who helped freshman adapt to high school and gave them things on holidays) and my little group of people got attacked by something we didn't see since we ran. We heard a commotion outside of the place we stopped to hide, sounding like a scuffle, and then it stopped. When we finally came out to survey the situation, nothing was there. People were injured and the room was a mess. I wasn't sure what happened or why we were left unharmed.
We were sure to be more careful after the incident, but the stuff happening kept getting worse. One day, I was in the greenhouse of our school (I wish I had one of those haha), and I started to smell smoke. I flipped around to look for the source of the smell, only to see that some of the plants had somehow caught fire. Panicking, of course, I tried to get out. But for whatever reason, our greenhouse was giant and really hard to navigate since we had so many sections of plants. So the fire was still growing and I couldn't find my way out because I couldn't think straight enough to remember the way out. The smoke started to overwhelm me, and I dropped to the floor. Coughing and wheezing, I was sure I was going to die.
But then I got picked up, only to look up and see the orange haired guy from the alley holding me. He covered my nose with my shirt to try and stop the smoke from getting to me further, and fervently asked me to stay awake, to not pass out. Of course, even in danger I want to know who this guy is. So I tell him that I'll stay awake if he tells me his name. He says it's Hunter. (Sure, he gets a normal name.)
He's struggling because he couldn't cover his own nose with his shirt because I was kind of against it and he was still carrying me. So he spends probably a few good minutes trying to find the way out, and eventually he does after he looks a little faint himself. The door has been locked (even though I never did so that means someone did) and so he had to set me down and bust it open in a way I wouldn't think was possible for a human.
Once we safely made it out, he takes a moment to regain his breath and clear the smoke from his lungs. I, of course, thank him sincerely. We can hear people screaming on the other side of the building and freaking out because it's being engulfed in flames. I then hear Lamb telling everyone to get back because it isn't safe and when my friends insist she rescues me because she's strong, she makes some remark about the good of many vs the good of few, which obviously upsets me. Then I see one of my other friends come around the corner, and he shouts something about me being safe. Lamb comes up to me and pretends to be happy I'm safe and tries to hug me, but I shove her away. When my friends ask how I managed to get out, I tell them that Hunter rescued me. But when I turn around to show them my rescuer, he's gone.
They brush it off as some sort of smoke hallucination, and that I must have just found my way out, but I'm insistent. But then in the corner of my eye, I see the Tabby just hidden enough for the others not to see but so I can. After making eye contact, he kind of bobs his head then scurries away. That's when I realize the cat had the same hair color and eyes as Hunter.
It sucks, because this is right around when I woke up. I never found out why if Lamb was so "righteous", then why wouldn't she have saved me? I also never found out who was setting these horrible things in motion of why. Also, I wish I had known why Hunter saved me. Was it something related to his leader? Was it personal reasons? Did he know me and I couldn't remember? And why did he make me feel safe? And was he responsible for saving my group when we got attacked? So many questions . . .
Ah, oh well. Dreams are weird. But yeah. This is my REALLY long one. Feel free to ask if you have any questions, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to answer them haha.
