dreams thread 4: the dream

[rtil]

i didn't feel like bumping the old one ok

besides, this is without a doubt the weirdest dream i have had in years. i don't know what brought it about or what it means or ANYTHING. it was just bizarre. it deserves its own topic goddamnit

ok, so i was on the road with jenna, but we weren't really in a car, we were kinda drifting around really fast in these empty plains. i'm not sure how we were doing it. and somehow i was telepathically communicating with people on the irc on the same time, and i was talking about the worst software ever. and i said "anyone remember realplayer?" or something like that. and people didn't believe me about how bad it was. well it just so happened that we were just about to pass real networks HQ, so i decided to stop there to prove it.

there was no one inside the real networks building when i got in. it was a circular building with 2 floors you could see from the center, and in the center was a small platform in which you could enter a search query for a video you were looking for. so i typed something in and hit search. i don't remember what i typed.

once you do this, a glass door opens up to a room to your right. in this room there are several glowing screens on pedestals or in square-shaped indents protruding from the wall. they were supposed to be buttons i guess. each one contained a search result, and all of them were not what i was looking for. in fact, some of them just had logos of other video websites. so there was an elevator next to all these buttons with a real networks logo on it. i went in and it took me to the 2nd floor. the 2nd floor simply led me to the other side of the building where there were more buttons in an open room. still, they were all not what i was looking for. there was a 2nd elevator in this room, so i went in.

the elevator had six buttons: -1, 2, 3, 5, 5 and 7. i "heh'd" at there being two 5 buttons. i pressed 7. the elevator started going down. then it started going down much faster, and then shaking violently and spinning around. i was not scared and felt like a prank was being pulled on me, even though in real life i probably would have been injured at this point. but as this went on, the elevator actually broke into a bunch of pieces and i began to fall. but as i was falling, this metal funnel started to assemble itself beneath me with metal shapes similar to those on an airport baggage claim conveyor belt. i gently slid down on one through a funnel and eventually got on solid ground. i was in a giant warehouse, and around me there were a couple of people laughing and clapping. "that's the last one for today", one of them exclaimed. i turned around and another person asked me "so were you scared? did we get you?"

i guess i was the last victim of the day in some kind of prank they did at real networks. they seemed a little disappointed at my nonchalant reaction to the falling elevator (i don't really get scared of anything in my dreams nor do i feel pain). at this point i just walked out of the warehouse.

jenna did not believe me that this happened, so later in the night i snuck in with her to show her the building.

we went to the 2nd floor, but i took her down a different hallway that led to a pathway on an outdoor wall of the building. i was starting to show her something when we heard something coming towards us. we turned around and there was a stuffed monkey doll with a light on its head on a stick, with a wheel on the stick, coming towards as very fast and zig-zagging around shouting something ( ican't remember what). the light started blinking. so we started going towards it , however somehow part of the wall had collapsed without us ever hearing it and there was a huge section we couldn't cross with water and debris underneath it. the monkey fell right in and stopped moving. then jenna jumped in for no reason and my cell phone flew into it as well. i somehow got to the other side and jenna had as well, she was all wet and had the monkey and the cell phone, and explained to me that the monkey was trying to get my cell phone so that's why she jumped in.

we walked back to the main building when i noticed the entire 1st floor of the building had been filled in with sand, and a bunch of strange things like the monkey were actually having a race around a track they had made in the sand. the only thing i remember was a log-shaped thing with a '.' face, slowly making its way across the track with wooden spear like legs that would move up and down very quickly in alternation. it also had arms just like the legs but they didn't move. it was actually really hilarious how this thing was moving around, i'll have to draw it.

and this is about the time that i woke up. so uh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tl;dr realplayer is shit

the only thing i remember was a log-shaped thing with a '.' face, slowly making its way across the track with wooden spear like legs that would move up and down very quickly in alternation. it also had arms just like the legs but they didn't move.

I have already mentioned this elsewhere but this is the first thing that came to mind:

[rtil]

his face did look exactly like that

[billy]

it is weird you had such a realplayer-centric dream

that had nothing to do with realplayer at all

[shura]

i haven't had a vivid dream in a really long time. the last one i had was kinda neat tho. I was dressed in ragged clothing sitting in a junkyard, when suddenly, small sheets of paper in all different colors start raining from the sky. i grab the pieces of colorful paper and start making them into origami animals. then the paper animals come to life and start flying around. but then it starts to rain, and all the paper becomes soggy and gets washed away into the sewer. weird shit

[jjjjjjjjjj]

i had a dream BUT I FORGOT! durrr!

Big 8 hour dream, short description.

I was at a huge fancy party for some rich kid's birthday. The parents replaced the tables, remodeled the house, invited the whole town, etc.

He left for a while and his little fat asshole brother was around at the friends' table laughing it up and I hated him. He joined the family table and ate too much so he started choking.

I asked if anyone in the room knew cpr but I was the only one. The little bro was laying on the floor unconcious after my attempts of getting the slob out of his slobhole, so I started CPR. At that point he turned into a dirty, used-looking human-shaped, fat sketchpad. I had to rearrange the papers inside his body to find the hole on each page. which i could breathe through. Once I was ready I breathed through and the air just flew out of the side of the sketchpad. Then I just saw a fat corpse in front of me.

After that everyone was in panic to not tell the birthday boy about his brother dying because that would ruin the day for him. As he's partying at the family table I feel the need to have him question the absence of his brother's. I left him something that was his brother's on the table by the birthday boy's seat, despite the efforts of the partygoers around me. Then as I get it to him he wonders where his brother is. Then the room goes white and I woke up. :/

It was a fun dream to wake up from. I have a bunch of dreams like that where the situation's half-normal.

a human shaped fat sketchpad

what the fuck

[CoolDrMoney]

Also Id like to make a collab animating all of our best/ most memorable dreams

I had one recently where I was at work and I guess I had been playing too much No More Heroes we were all assassins. Everyone was working and there was this one guy who had shown up kept trying to kill us all. I was given the job of holding him back and keeping sharp objects away from him while everyone else worked serving people (never to lose time, even with the looming threat of stabbings).
Dude kept on getting away from me and taking knives and stuff. I tied his hands behind his back, but he got loose and got another knife. I wrestled it away from him and was really pissed by this point so I took him over to the sink (so it wouldn't be hard to clean up afterwards) and stabbed him, and he turned into paper towels, which in retrospect is really odd.
I came back out and told my coworkers I killed him and they told me that I wasn't supposed to (they never told me not to, mind you). They all told me that I was a failure and I woke up feeling really depressed.
I had a really bad day at work that day.
COINCIDENCE??

According to the internet dream dictionary...
Being at work = I've been procrastinating. I guess I haven't been drawing much lately.
Killing = I'm on the verge of losing my temper and self control. Greg is getting frustrated! Or it means that I'm trying to get rid of some negative part of my personality. I guess that makes more sense.
Knife = sexual tension? of course
Paper towels = I am experiencing some temporary setbacks.
Failure = I am not applying myself to my fullest potential.

Ahaha dream interpretations are ridiculous.

[CVG]

I love reading dreams haha. I want to know so badly what they mean (or at least how they were formed!)

I had one where me and 2 men were driving on a cliff that was falling apart into the ocean (felt apocalyptic). I got an establishing helicopter view of the cliff before I knew I was in the car. Maybe I was in a helicopter :/ We were driving on the side and got out before the car fell off. I remember the 2 men just wanting to hang out and fish. I looked down the cliff and what appeared to be a pirate hook was being held out on one of the platforms under me. I jumped down to see it (felt scary as hell, being an ominous pirate hook) and the hook was gone. There was a little rockhole there, but at the end of it there was no hook or anything.

I went back up (i flew or something. I have no idea) and insulted the one man and dived into the water. It appears that boh were trying to kill me with guns. The one i insulted followed me in and the other one was shooting from the cliff, which now had holes in it from falling apart, holes that he shot through when I went around the skinny cliff peninsula. I remember trying to get to a castle in front of the cliff, but the current pulled me to the other side of the cliff, where I was cornered. I assume I died because I woke up.

"anyone remember realplayer?" or something like that. and people didn't believe me about how bad it was. well it just so happened that we were just about to pass real networks HQ, so i decided to stop there to prove it.

my old computer still has realplayer. It truly is the worst thing ever.

[psi43]

yeah that dream means that you are gay and don't want to admit it, it's true.


the only thing real player is good @ is downloading youtube videos really quickly.

so yeah here's a dream i had that kinda worries me;

my best lady friend and soon-to-be-neighbor is in poland for 3 weeks (not part of the dream, she'll come back on the 14th) and i dreamed that she had some kind of accident and i was performing cpr/first aid on her to save her life, without any luck.

so i woke up, totally sweaty and shit. then i fell asleep again and dreamed that i heard, on the radio, that there had been a car accident between flensburg and poland (she lives close to flensburg), and a white car with a polish number plate (fits the description of her car).

and now, today, i heard that a dam broke in poland so fuck ffffffffffff.

rtil your dream made me laugh

also last time I dreamt anything I was in a very fancy pool swimming on my own and then My ex gf appeared from nowhere wearing a bikini and I was like "hehehe Amy tonight youll be mine"

2 days ago I dreamt I had lost my left hand but suprisingly enough my life was exactly the same without it... in my dream

[creamcorn]

last night i ate watermellon i dreamed about watermellons

[Jeinu]

about a week ago i had a really intense/lucid dream where one of my intestines started falling out through my bellybutton. someone gave me a gatorade and i ran to the hospital... where they told me they could fix it but i'd be in extreme pain for the next 3-6 months. after surgery, they let me sit in a eggshaped chair like this:
and then gave me a laptop.

the laptop was programmed to play only videos in which people were injured. kind of like america's funniest videos except with more pain and no laugh tracks. i asked them why anyone would watch this and they said it was to make me feel better. then it felt like a week went by of me watching the videos before i woke up.

it was a very disorienting experience.

I had a dream the other night where I was on my way to visit my girlfriend at College (She doesn't go to college) and there was a huge party going on outside the dorms with beer tents and stuff. When I got out of my car everyone was looking at me and the crowd split to reveal her holding on to some skinny emo kids arm.

I flipped the fuck out and I felt my entire body tense up. I started screaming, but not like a girly scream, a real manly enraged scream. Everything started to fade but me and her and I could feel so much intense rage that it woke me up. I was terrified at that feeling. I've never been so angry before in my life. I still feel kind of shook up about it.

[Philip K Dick]

i had a drug induced hallucination in which all my organs were torn from inside of my body and i was dragged to the floor and horrible demons appeared in kaleidoscope-vision and told me i was going to die
