3/3/10 - AM - SUGAR-POWERED REMOTE-CONTROL CAR AND THE TOOTHPICK PEOPLE followed by MIDDLE SCHOOL PRESENTATION
(6:38:49 PM) bluesilliness3: so, I had this dream the other night
(6:38:55 PM) bluesilliness3: about a sugar-powered remote-control car
(6:38:55 PM) random old friend: go on
(6:39:00 PM) bluesilliness3: that was driven by little toothpick men.
(6:39:08 PM) random old friend: oo write abt it
(6:39:25 PM) random old friend: gr8 story
(6:39:54 PM) bluesilliness3: So, I got this remote-control car. My brother-in-law Adam was telling me how it worked, and opened up the trunk of it and poured some granulated sugar in it. It had toothpicks sticking in the sides.
(6:40:15 PM) random old friend: oh cool
(6:40:20 PM) bluesilliness3: So, after playing with it for a little bit, the toothpicks were getting worn down, and they started talking to me. That was how I found out the toothpicks were actually little people.
(6:40:38 PM) random old friend: hehe
(6:41:05 PM) bluesilliness3: I wondered what the sugar would've been doing, so I opened up the back of the car and found that about half of the sugar that had been put in there had shrunk down to really fine dust-particle pieces of sugar.
(6:41:48 PM) bluesilliness3: That told me that we'd used up about half of the sugar. I poured it onto my hand to start sorting it out, and took the toothpicks out of the car to try and balance the sugar crystals on the toothpick-people's hands
(6:42:10 PM) bluesilliness3: but they kept on tipping over even when I put crystals of the same size on each hand, because I guess some of the crystals were heavier than others.
(6:42:57 PM) random old friend: oo
(6:43:07 PM) bluesilliness3: So I poured the big crystals back into the trunk and put new toothpicks in the car to replace the ones that were too worn down to make the car run, and was going to have the worn down toothpick-people drive the car, but they were too long to fit inside of it.
(6:43:32 PM) bluesilliness3: So then, I was this little boy, and my little sister came and was trying to take my car from me because she wanted to play with it too. She was, like, 1 or 2.
(6:43:37 PM) random old friend: heh kk
(6:43:59 PM) bluesilliness3: So I picked up the car and took it inside and on top of my bunkbed with me (said bunkbed had no ladder, so hopefully little sister wouldn't be able to get up there!)
(6:44:15 PM) bluesilliness3: and little sister was trying to climb up onto the bunkbed to get the car because she wanted to play with it
(6:44:27 PM) bluesilliness3: and then mommy yelled at me for not sharing my car.
(6:44:34 PM) random old friend: ahaha
(6:44:51 PM) bluesilliness3: Then suddenly we're back outside, and instead of wooden toothpicks, the toothpicks are suddenly made of lead
(6:45:01 PM) bluesilliness3: and there's one kind of standing up in the lawn
(6:45:02 PM) random old friend: ah kk
(6:45:20 PM) bluesilliness3: and the little boy that was me a moment ago runs across it with bare feet and gets the toothpick stuck up inside of his foot
(6:45:36 PM) random old friend: heh
(6:45:39 PM) bluesilliness3: so he goes to the doctor and gets a brainscan done to make sure having the lead toothpick in his foot didn't damage his brain
(6:46:45 PM) bluesilliness3: and the doctor has the emails from the testers on his computer. Three emails from 'Joanne Loewen' (one of the education profs here at my school) and one from 'Donna Bagley' (my academic advisor, head of the education department) and I (the little boy) see the emails on the list with the subjects being about the intelligence test
(6:46:53 PM) bluesilliness3: so the doctor tries to go to another webpage
(6:47:12 PM) bluesilliness3: and instead of focusing on what the doctor wants me to see, I'm like "I want to see those results." and hit the back button to go back into the email
(6:47:18 PM) bluesilliness3: and open up one of the emails from Joanne.
(6:47:39 PM) random old friend: aha
(6:47:48 PM) bluesilliness3: so it shows this really squiggly pattern
(6:47:56 PM) bluesilliness3: lemme find an approximation of what it looked like
(6:48:23 PM) random old friend: nice dream so far
(6:50:08 PM) bluesilliness3: http://xkcd.com/657/large/ it looks like the section labeled 'Primer'
(6:50:14 PM) bluesilliness3: except blue.
(6:50:32 PM) bluesilliness3: and I start scrolling down on the window to see what that means
(6:51:11 PM) random old friend: heh
(6:51:50 PM) bluesilliness3: and apparently, things they could tell from that brain scan were that my entire family is gifted, that we're all depressed except, for some reason, for my sister Debbie, some other stuff (there were like, 16 results, one of which was that the 'What 5th-generation pokemon are you most like?' was broken.)
(6:52:20 PM) bluesilliness3: So then suddenly instead of a little boy, I'm this old woman with two grown sons
(6:52:46 PM) bluesilliness3: and there's a garage sale/yard sale going on, and my sons are selling things, and they sell my sugar-powered remote-control car and the toothpick people to somebody
(6:53:13 PM) bluesilliness3: and I'm coming out of the house to make sure to remind them not to sell it (because the toothpick people are my friends, but they don't know about the toothpick people.)
(6:53:19 PM) bluesilliness3: and discover that they've already sold it
(6:53:38 PM) bluesilliness3: so I make sure to check on the guy they sold it too to make sure that they at least went to a good home.
(6:53:43 PM) bluesilliness3: Then I woke up.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PRESENTATION
So, I was on a school bus with a lot of my friends. I was somewhat sleepy, and prof. Davis, a middle-school principal, was talking to us about how we were going to go to another middle school to take part in an assembly. Now, our bus was jam-packed, and I was looking out the windows as we went through neighbourhoods. We passed a few schools and came to a long, squat brick building with some other schoolbuses parked outside of it. We park at this school and pile off the bus, scrambling over to another bus. The bus driver of this other bus starts railing at us about how the building is full and we want him to take us WHERE?, so we go inside the building and to the auditorium, which is just inside the doors. Upon reaching the auditorium, we all spread out to go find seats, and discover that the front half of the auditorium is empty, so we pile into those seats. Then a movie plays while a presentation is going, and I wake up.

(That one wasn't quite so interesting, was it?)

[Ruinn]

Just curious, is this copy+ pasted, or do you actually have the time to write all that?

[Ally]

LOL! :3 I love your dreams Shellie!

[Shellie]

Just curious, is this copy+ pasted, or do you actually have the time to write all that?

I wrote it in an IM, then copy-pasted and replaced the friend's username with 'random old friend' so he doesn't get spammed by y'all when ya figure out what IM client it was on. :>

[Ruinn]

Guessin' it is another mod, but if you don't want us knowing, that's your choice. :3, anyways I <3 your dreams.

[bob12528]

lol, ur dreams are always very interesting XD

Actually, no. He's never touched TPPC. He's a friend of mine from a game called Furcadia. Used to run a harry-potter style dream called the Dragon Magic School. Really into magic 'n stuff. I used to spellcheck/edit his documents before he'd post them. There was one about getting all your nutrients and losing weight by eating only rocks.

[Ruinn]

Lol, then why would we spam up if he's never touched TPPC. If he's never touched this website, we most likely won't even know him. And you're a grammar person then? so, am! i.

You played Furcadia?!?!

On another note, absolutely fascinating dream... your friend sounds bored, though.

[Cody the Master]

how in the hell do you remember your dreams in such detail

[Shellie]

So, I slept through class this morning (and I vaguely knew I was sleeping through class) and was having another dream. This one is in three parts, but the second one isn't child-friendly, so I'm totally leaving out part of it. They're completely unrelated scenes as-is.

Starting out the dream, I had just fallen asleep. I found myself sleeping in the archives I work in, but watching what was going on. I apparently wasn't really there, because my bosses couldn't see me, and they were talking and wondering where I was. (One boss is an old lady with curly black hair that makes a sort of afro around her face, and the other boss is an old lady with straight blonde hair that goes about to her shoulders. Both wear glasses, and both are rather skinny and pale.) So, the blonde boss starts looking at her computer screen, and there's this weird flowery shape that she zooms in to look at, because she can tell there are letters on it, but she can't tell what. (It looks like The Vinca Flower (http://www.furcadia.com/roleplay/vinca4.gif), but with the letters VINCA in neon green, yellow, hot pink, and similar colours.) So I'm still asleep, but vaguely wanting to say 'That's the vinca flower. The icon you're looking at is for a game called Furcadia.', so she doubleclicks on it and it opens up on the work computer, where apparently there's a character already made. So she walks around with it and makes comments on how pretty the maps are. First she's a Naga, then she's a little crawling panda, then she's something else, and she ends up on a map called The Procrastination Lounge, except instead of a lounge it's this big forested place with glowing water and trees that grow out of the shallows. It makes sounds of a forest with water trickling fast and the occasional animal call. Then I start to wake up, and I'm apparently not in the archives where I thought I was, and was never really there to begin with. I'm on a very narrow couch, sleeping on my side, but pushed right up against the back of it because it's that narrow. I'm at my aunt's place, which looks nothing like my aunt's place, but I know it's my aunt's place because my aunt is there. I realize that I must not have made it all the way to my bed, and I fell asleep here. I'm wrapped up tight in a very rough, scratchy blanket, which explains why I felt scratchy in the archives, and feel very, very hot. My aunt takes my temperature, from a distance, confusing me a little bit because thermometers aren't supposed to work that way, and finds my temperature to be 90.4 degrees F. Apparently I'm actually very, very cold, but I feel very, very hot, but am too tired to move the blanket any, so it just keeps on feeling scratchy on my head, since part of it is wrapped over the top of my head too.
So, I start to wake up, and I'm out in the night walking around. I meet a man who looks a lot like my oldest brother, and it turns out he's a little crazy. I direct him to where he was asking to go, and then continue on through the night. I run into another man, who is his brother, explaining that he's a bit crazy and needs someone to keep an eye on him, and could I do it please? I go back to the house that I guided the first man to, and meet him there with a girl he likes. We're making sleeping arrangements, and the girl sleeps out on the couch, leaving me to go back into the room where the man's bed is to keep an eye on him there. The bed has platforms on it, so I climb up onto the higher platform of it and he sleeps on the lower platform of it. I start to doze, and suddenly we're in the audience at a conference of some sort, and I'm also the presenter and am on stage. So while the on-stage me is talking about things, everybody is talking about how those things will never happen and wondering what on earth I'm talking about, at which point I explain I'm from the future. Then I'm the me in the audience again, and the guy who looks like my brother starts kissing me on the neck, freaking me out a bit. Suddenly there's another man sitting on the other side of him.
I wake up to find myself back in the crazy-brother-man's bed, the alarm clock glowing green at me, with the crazy-brother-man still on the lower platform. I then doze back off, and...
...I'm on the plains, surrounded in short greenish-brown grasses. Nearby is a sort of dip in the land with a bridge crossing it to a city cut into stone, with another city atop the stone platform. There have been trolls attacking. The scene pans out to show the plains continuing on as far as the eye can see in all directions, just flatland with a single plateau besides this one that the trolls are attacking. This other plateau is the safe haven for those who live in the lower city, so the people take the sheep they are raising and begin climbing this plateau, going along the paths sided in rocks. It is now a moonless night, so the people have small purple lanterns that allow them to see where they are going. However, the trolls can also see these, and though they can't climb up the plateau and fit along the path, they can hurl boulders. The trolls begin hurling boulders larger than ten sheep put together up at the people climbing. (No wonder they were trying to escape the trolls!) Lanterns begin going out.
It is now morning. I am exploring the plains, going to the ends of them. In all directions but one, the plains end up as being the top of a very large cliff. The prince of the plains-people comes along with me and we go in the one direction that does not end as a cliff. We are atop a green, grassy mountain ridge, and we climb down the ridge into a lush, green jungle. We travel through this, and are in the desert on the other side of the jungle. To either side, off in the distance, are tall, mountainy scrublands that are so steep it would be impossible to climb them - they might as well be cliffs. I transform into a horse, and we travel straight through the desert for a day or two and come to more cliffs. From a distance, I could see more green atop the cliffs, so I think "If I were a pegasus, I could fly the prince up to the top of these cliffs." and I grow some wings as we reach the cliffs. However, I am only capable of flying us about two feet off the ground, so I give up on flying him up. I know that my hands as a human are incapable of hauling me up the cliff, so I transform into a dragon with the prince still on my back. I know my wings as a pegasus were weak, so I assume they will also be weak as a dragon. Instead, I dig my claws into the rock and climb up the cliffs, the prince hanging on to my back.
Once we reach the top of the cliff, I decide I am too tired to carry the prince any longer. We encounter a black trail about as wide as a street, so I summon my Charizard and my Rapidash from a previous life to carry us. The Charizard disappears, but the Rapidash carries the prince along. I hover-fly along behind him. As time passes, we begin to encounter old Model-T fords, and the prince questions what these strange beasts are. Eventually we wind up at a modern-day rest stop and explain we have been traveling for weeks. The people with their cars explain that they could have made such a trip in 10 hours, and we question that, as the fastest things we know of are horses and my own Rapidash. When we are alone again, we discover that my Rapidash is pregnant and is about to give birth to a Ponyta. The prince asks if he may have the ponyta, and I initially object - without other pokémon around to battle, the Ponyta will be unable to grow up. However, I eventually relent, and the prince is now the owner of a Ponyta that knows two techniques - Rock Smash and Fire Spin.
A few years later, the prince is back on the plains, and his people are climbing the plateau at night to escape the trolls again. The fire that is plainest to see for the trolls is that of Ponyta, so the trolls begin hurling their boulders at it. The Ponyta turns around and kicks its legs back into the boulders, diamond-hard hooves glimmering and smashing the boulders into small pebbles. Ponyta then turns to face the other way and launches Fire Spin attacks at where the boulders were flying from, lighting the trolls on fire and trapping them each in a vortex of flame. The other trolls then see these new lights, and begin throwing boulders at them. The trolls start throwing boulders back and forth at each other. The people continue up the trail, thankful for the respite.
I then woke up again.

You played Furcadia?!?!

On another note, absolutely fascinating dream... your friend sounds bored, though.
That's actually what he always sounds like. :> If he isn't interested, though, he says nothing. But yes, I do play Furcadia. I'm a beekin, and my beekin-username on there is bluesilliness3. I've had the name for over ten years now. :> When I first started TPPC, I was 'BlueSilliness3', which shortly became 'Pokemaniac Silli', which then became 'Cooltrainer Silli (UPTU)' because I was part of clan UPTU, with the rank of Cooltrainer. So really, everyone here knew me as Silli long before I took the name 'Shellie' ;x I'd played TPPC for at least a year before the 'Shellie' name caught on, because I'm pretty sure I started TPPC at the end of middle school/early freshman year, and it wasn't until late freshman year that I got the nickname of 'Shellie' from 'Kamiru', who my DarkSandslash is named for.

EDIT: @Cody - I have no idea how I remember them in such detail. People tell me that vivid dreams are a sign of sleep apnea, which could explain why I wake up so much and have to sleep for so long before I'm finally rested. I'm gonna get tested for that soon.

[Rofls]

You dreams are kool yo.

[Shellie]

Here's another seventeen that I've posted at various times.

I was flying after a friend on a highway running through Denver, and was kind of running past all of the cars, running through some of them because I was that intangible, but never catching up. We were going to a fair, so we got there and cut to the front of the line to go down this ride... which apparently went down a tunnel lined with shops, but went really fast and crashed into stuff. So I was going down this tunnel and trying not to be swept along with the ride right to the bottom, because I wanted to look at some of the stuff in the shops. Then, suddenly, I get to the bottom where I'm brought to this courtroom and put on trial for something, and the judge starts touching my wrists after everyone leaves, and I scream and fly up to the ceiling.


This is one I had a few years ago. I was with my then-roommate, and we were in Denver, at about Wadsworth and Jewell, if anyone knows streets in Denver. We had to head east to go to my house, and this apparently took us through the mountains. So, we're going through this tunnel in the mountains, and it leads up to this spiral staircase that goes up to a bell and looks down over a town. In this town there's a little church and a ginormous swimming pool with an irish cross printed on the bottom, and it's really pretty. So, we hear the church bell start ringing and are like "I wonder what's going on.", so we go down the stairs into the town and start to walk past the church. We look inside, and someone comes out and drags me in, going "The bride is here!". So, I end up getting pulled to the front of the church and am getting married to this guy I've never met that looks like a cross between the boy who'd just broken up with me and one of my guy friends (who is considering dating me now). The wedding ceremony is going on while my roommate is in the back trying to get up to where we are going "What's going on? You can't marry her! We were just walking past!"
So then the pastor/priest dude shoves me and my husband into each other, and we fall into this awkward hug. Then I'm really happy. Then I woke up.


I had a dream today that I was losing my teeth, and I was freaking out about it. Then I discovered I was part shark and my teeth were growing back. Also that if aliens ever attacked Earth, they'd have all of our military intelligence and would attack those big military bases, and that if humans tried to fight back they'd be driving cross-country in Hummers and the aliens would know they were coming and blow them up. (So pleeeease, dad, won't you teach me combat skills?)


So, I started to have a dream... like, I was going to visit my quasi-boyfriend in Michigan, and was going to get a job working at his place for the month that I was around, but had to compete with, like, 5 other girls I knew to get the job. o3o So then I went outside to go upstairs to his place, and was somehow in my family's old motorhome driving around. Then I was at a family gathering wrapped up in my comforter, but naked, and was like "So, is wrapped in blanket modest enough for me to do things?" because I didn't know where my clothes were. I never did get my clothes on. o3o


Okay. So, anyways, I was having this dream where I was one of my sisters. o3o We were all kids again, and I was my oldest sister, except I could see fine. (She couldn't.) My sister-in-law was the age she is now, and she was babysitting us, and I was with my older(now younger) sister and was talking to them about how I was from the future, from when we were grown up, and was telling my sister in law that she was going to name her children Brianna and Kaitlyn and Nehemiah and that her husband would try and put my older-younger sister's husband in jail. So then they were like "You're not Marie." and started asking me questions that 'only Marie would know', like, for some reason, "Why don't you like apples after they've fallen off the tree?" and I was like "wha?"
So, then I decided I would run away and head home, because apparently we lived at the grandparents house in town instead of at the parents house. So I ran out and down the street and got past some of the cars and suddenly was going really slow and not moving no matter how fast I ran, even though I was trying to head to the next block so I could go over to some other block and keep going before they saw me. (I was going the wrong way, as well. I think I was planning to have someone pick me up and take me to that address, because I knew it. Like, if a cop found me or something and asked "Where do you live, little girl?" I would tell him so he would take me there.)


[16:41:06] <@BBQPidgey> So, it started out, I had this group of animals with me
[16:41:10] <@BBQPidgey> and they all turned into humans
[16:41:19] <@BBQPidgey> and then it turned out they were all sailor soldiers.
[16:41:57] <@BBQPidgey> Then we went to a restaurant to eat, except half the animals were just little kids, and there were enough of us that we took up three big round tables in this restaurant, and the little ones were making a mess.
[16:43:21] <@BBQPidgey> So then I vaguely woke-up in the dream, so I knew this was a dream, to where I was watching stuff with my little brother, and I was talking about my dream and how it was like a bad sailor moon fanfic, and we were watching some sailor moon anime, except it was all of these animals/sailor soldiers I'd been eating with in cartoon form, and one was SAILOR LONE WOLF
[16:43:43] <@BBQPidgey> and turned from a guy into a girl when transforming, like the starlights do. :>
[16:43:56] <@BBQPidgey> so then I fell back asleep in my dream
[16:44:11] <@BBQPidgey> and we were going ahead and leaving the restaurant, and I'd made this awesome kind of chocolate.
[16:44:34] <@BBQPidgey> It was fat-free and stuff, but tasted amazing, and was even more amazing when the moon was full. Like, you couldn't put it down amazing.
[16:45:03] <@BBQPidgey> and I came back to the US from Japan, where I'd apparently met all these animals, and they came with me.
[16:45:26] <@BBQPidgey> I think the bunny was named Moiraine, and I was like =O LET'S MAKE HER LOOK LIKE THE CHARACTER IN THE BOOK SERIES I'M READING WITH THE SAME NAME.
[16:45:40] <@BBQPidgey> So I gave her a blue sweater and a little forehead-gem on a chain to wear. :>
[16:46:57] <@BBQPidgey> and we came back to the US, and were at some big building that apparently was my school, named 'Et Elementary' and 'Et Middle School' and 'Et High School' and then 'Et college' and then there was, like, a dentist's office and some other things also in the building.
[16:47:03] <@BBQPidgey> and the back of it opened to an airfield.
[16:47:17] <@BBQPidgey> Anyways, I went into the college part of it, right next to the dentist's part of it.
[16:47:38] <@BBQPidgey> Saw some people from school with these huge bags of the chocolate I'd made, which was apparently a big hit now
[16:48:02] <@BBQPidgey> like, where you squeezed the chocolate out of the bag and ate it that way, because it didn't solidify unless you froze it. :>
[16:48:12] <@BBQPidgey> So it was kinda like frosting that way.
[16:48:24] <@BBQPidgey> and I got one and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD
[16:48:46] <@BBQPidgey> and I downed, like, half of the bag (These are, like, cafeteria-milkbag-size bags, too)
[16:49:00] <@BBQPidgey> and then was like 'I shouldn't have any more of this'
[16:49:15] <@BBQPidgey> and went on down the hall past all of the rooms (with names on plaques next to them!)
[16:49:20] <@BBQPidgey> until I found my room
[16:49:36] <@BBQPidgey> went in, it had this big living room and really soft carpet and a fridge, so I put the chocolate in the fridge
[16:49:46] <@BBQPidgey> and headed back to the bedroom part of it, where I could hear a TV squealing
[16:49:57] <@BBQPidgey> so I turned off the TV and looked out the window and it went right back into the airfield
[16:50:05] <@BBQPidgey> like, there were all these little planes outside the window
[16:50:24] <@BBQPidgey> and a big king-sized bed all for me
[16:50:36] <@BBQPidgey> and then I kind of woke up to the watching anime with my little brother again
[16:50:58] <@BBQPidgey> and was like "Oh yeah, I should draw what everyone looked like in that dream before I forget."
[16:51:10] <@BBQPidgey> and then I woke up the rest of the way. :>
[16:51:35] <@BBQPidgey> So now the only one who I really remember what he looked like was the bear one, who was a big, chubby black dude.

This one has two slight retellings -
I had a dream with my kindergarteners in it the other night. o3o We were rollerskating around a city to go to a hotel where we had a room on the 7th floor. Sometime on the way up the ramp, I lost the kindergarteners, and ended up in a super-duper-secret 8th floor apartment that had a magic mirror to look into all the other apartments, and stairs up and stairs down, and the stairs down led into my college library. o3o
I had one the other night where I was with my kindergarteners and we were rollerskating to a hotel and heading up to our room on the 7th floor... but we took a ramp up instead of the elevator, and the ramp pulled away from the wall partway up so there was no door to get to the 7th floor... but there was a secret apartment on the 8th floor that it led to that had a magic mirror that you could look inside of all the other apartments with, and stairs (apparently this was a multi-story 8th floor secret apartment) that led into my school's library that I dreamed about once that doesn't actually exist at my school. o3o But I knew it was my school's library.


I don't think I had a dream last night... but I had another one the other night where I was going shopping at a store with my sister... and Totino's Pizzas were 59 cents apiece, so we bought them up the way mom would... and bottles of gatorade were 2/99c, so I bought some of those, and then I was all "Oh, maybe art supplies are cheap here too!" and went to buy watercolor paper and big drawing pads and canvases and stuff, but then I went to find paintbrushes so I could use my oils again... and couldn't find any sets of those for less than $100. I was sad. ):


I had a dream the other night that had the cast of Yu-Gi-Oh and Ash, Brock and Misty racing to some hidden spring in the jungle that was supposed to be the source of the river of life that only was reachable once in every bajillion years (It was on a mountainside, in the jungle, where this big crevice just opened up and you could get in that way.)
So then, Ash and co. were in the pokémon league tournament and Brock was going up against some champion or another that had these huge pokéballs (and had, like, a bajillion of them come out of the wall to select from, then the drawer of them went back into the wall), and the champion-lady picked out this white pokémon that looked like a cross between a Dragonair and a Milotic (it was long and had the dragonair features, and this golden mane going all down its back) that they said was a cross between a Dragonair and a Lapras. So Ash offered Brock one of his pokémon to battle it with because rock types leave Brock at a total disadvantage to water/ice/dragon, but Brock refused and tried to battle with Onix anyways, and Onix basically got taken out in one hit, so Brock had to drag Onix along behind him (Onix was tied to a rope).
So then it was my turn to battle this Dragonair/Lapras combination which was swimming around in a pool. So what do I use? A big, flaming Dragonite/Magmortar combination. To defend itself from attacks, it made this wall of fire, and then it would launch thunder into the swimming pool as the firewall would turn into steam.
The battle went on for a while, but it hadn't ended yet by the time I woke up.


So, while I was sleeping, I had this dream involving the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert, a tour bus, Aaron and Emily, pokémon, something akin to Guitar Hero, and buttons that let the bus punch. While we were driving on another planet. ovo
So, like, we went to this store, me and Emily and her husband Aaron. Then it was time to go, and the boss was the driver, and the boss tried to take this shortcut back home that took us through Denver, to the north, and ended us up on some other planet where the bus was, in fact, on autopilot, and I had six pokémon, three that were ready to battle. However, since we were inside the bus and the things to fight were outside, we had to press buttons to make the bus punch and kick the things to fight... like, at the right times, and they were coming in lines and at intervals like you'd find playing a song on guitar hero, so it looked like a level of it when you viewed it from above. ovo But it was going too fast until we broke the autopilot, so then it wasn't really working anymore and the bus was going all over the place, but then my pokémon were using the buttons to punch and kick so much stuff that my Meowth evolved into a Persian and my other two went from first-stage to third-stage. ovo
Then we ended up back on earth, and my pokémon were sad because they evolved too fast for me to be able to stop them. My Persian was especially sad because they wanted to stay a Meowth for always.
Eventually we got pointy-haired boss to turn the bus around, and then Emily fell asleep on Aaron's shoulder.


I had one the other night where I was posting on Gaia in the Top Fishers guild, talking to Aquaticstone. o3o We were telling a story. Except then the scene would cut into the story. First I was some sort of faerie-thing, and my wings tore my jacket off. Then it went to Aqua posting a response to whatever I'd posted (I couldn't read them, but it said 'aquaticstone' and had his font colour) so it went on to this story where apparently I was a terrorist with headquarters in Texas. Anyways, I was driving around with some guy in this ferrari when we decided we were going to go take over a ship. So, we drive off the pier and drive up to this ship, because our car floats/drives on water, and we take it over. So then I make all the pretty people dress up in zebra stripes and dance for me


It was like a bad fanfic. Seriously. Power Rangers / Sailor Moon / CardCaptorSakura crossover (Really, I just had her powers, and her cards... >>; And I was a Faerie.)
Anyways. So, new season of Power Rangers. Red Ranger was an alien from some other planet that I guess Earth didn't know about, but sold stuff on the market on Earth.
The bad guy, instead of being one of those teeny-tiny ones that uses lots of magic... was one that liked to eat things. A lot. So this bad guy was, like, eating people and stuff. And absorbed power. So without even using magic he got to be the size of a Zord.
Only two Power Rangers are left - Red and Blue - so they try and teleport to this other planet to get some help. Zordon and Alpha are in this spaceship heading to this other planet trying to power the teleport, but the bad guy ate the power they were trying to use and got bigger.
So, my character is like, Okay. I'm an Air Faerie. That means that no matter what, there will be an atmosphere around me. I will simply fly them off the planet and fly them far enough away that they can be teleported.
But before I do that, since I apparently know Sailor Moon, I call them up and tell them not to try and fight this monster because it will EAT ALL THEIR POWERS.
So, all the Sailor Soldiers are like "Hah! We're not scared! We'll fight it anyways!" and Uranus gets eaten, then starts chopping at the inside of the monster with the 'Space Sword' talisman. Physical damage does damage to this monster.
So, after flying the Power Rangers far enough off planet that they can teleport and get help, my character flies back, and is like "Crap. They're fighting it anyways. Well, better go talk to them. I know Venus has a sword... and Jupiter can punch things... ah, crap, it ate Saturn. And Pluto. Well, time to use the Clow Cards and make Jupiter huge enough to just punch the daylights out of it with Big while Venus slashes it with her sword. Let's use Power, while we're at it, so she can really punch the daylights out of it."
Cutscene to Red Ranger, trying to convince his planet to come help. We find out he 'believes in their Jesus', and has converted to the religion of Christianity because his girlfriend the Pink Ranger has taught him about it.
Cutscene back to Sailor Soldiers fighting the monster. My character is running out of energy to keep Sailor Jupiter giant and powerful. Uranus manages to slash her way outside of the monster, so it starts shrinking, at least back down to the size of a zord. So, okay, help is coming now, right? Well, there's not enough pilots to make the megazord. So, once Uranus is healed up (Because Sailor Moon's magic is just that awesome), Sailor Galaxia, Princess Kakyuu, and the Sailor Starlights show up. Mercury (supergenius), Star Healer (also supergenius) and Uranus (racecar driver) end up piloting the three zords that don't have pilots. Awkward attempts at introducing themselves ensue, because they speak Japanese... and the Power Rangers speak English.
So then, megazord punches daylights out of monster.
The end.


So, I had another dream last night.
Started out in a store, where there was this one rich dude trying to figure out how to buy a DVD for something. He couldn't find the checkout. So, after a while, I've helped him to buy it. (Turns out, PBS paid for it.) So we head to the school that he was buying it for. He apparently owes some money for some school supplies or something. Runs into the classroom, and all of the students just look at him funny.
Turns out, Mary Kate Olsen is in this class. (Olsen twin, from back in the days when they were cute. And on Full House.) So, the other characters from Full House sneak into the classroom too, but they're not dressed up as the characters yet. Apparently, the class thinks this is all a set-up, so they're making fun of Mary Kate and talking about how they'll all pretend to be INTERNATIONAL SPIES while these people from full house are here. Sunglasses magically appear. Then the guy who plays 'Uncle Jesse' pops up, all 'bwaar!' from behind a filing cabinet.
Cutscene to what's almost one of the episodes. (There's one where this dog comes into the house and has puppies on Jesse's bed, except this time it's a cat and they're about to have kittens. Oh, he also owns a very small leopard.)
Jesse is trying to get rid of this cat that's taken up residence on his bed. I come in, and I speak cat, so I start talking to it. Apparently it met Jesse's pet leopard on the internet and wants it to be the father of her kittens. Eventually, I talk the kitty into realizing the leopard is just a jerk, and the kitty goes outside and has her kittens on the grass instead.
So, across the street is this park. There are these giant blue bunny-rabbits that get up and are apparently bears. Bearrabbits. Stephanie and Michelle from Full House go inside and take the kitty with them. These blue bearrabbits start traversing the neighbourhood, and start jumping roaring at me over the fence, so I slash them with a sword.
Well, there's this one that apparently doesn't get hurt, so we duke it out in this epic-long battle that results in a crater covering the western half of Utah, at which point I'm like "Okay. Let's take this to another planet or something." I never do manage to decapitate him, no matter how much I stab. So he takes that as a surrender, and then takes me as his mate. I have his bearrabbit babies - the males all are bearrabbits, the females are all humans. So he takes the males and raises them to be all nasty. I do the laundry on the beach, when suddenly a wind blows and OHNO. MY PILLOW IS IN THE OCEAN. ;A; So I float out to go get it and it keeps floating away from me. Eventually I manage to grab it and the current pushes me back to shore, where I find that high tide has ruined the laundry I had drying on the clothesline. So then I go back up into the cliffs where we apparently live and then I realize the girls exist, and start teaching them magic. To do pottery and stuff.
Then I woke up.

This is my new favorite thread.

Yey. 8d


electromagnetic destroyosaur says:
Hm
i didn't tell about the one
where we were driving around in my motorhome
that was actually a spaceship
so, anyways, we were, like, in my old motorhome, the 'ghettomobile'
and had the dinette area turned into a bed and had been cuddling there for a while
boyfriend says:
Some people have called my station wagon the ghettomobile...
Who's this 'we'? >.>
electromagnetic destroyosaur says:
And there was one of those fields around the motorhome that makes people not notice it because it simply doesn't belong, so people's eyes slide right past it.
So we decided we were going to get some food somewhere, and started driving
boyfriend says:
Oh--like from the fourth hitchhiker's guide book
electromagnetic destroyosaur says:
-nod-
cutscene. Alien ship that's apparently after us
and has a way to detect our field thingy
so, back to us. We park at the glenarm recreation center where i used to swim
and go inside to get our food 'n stuff
when we come back out to the parking lot, i forget where we're parked because we can't actually see it either. For all purposes, it's invisible.
But i reach into where i thought it was parked and make this little rip in the field so we can get in.
All of a sudden, we're flying in it
and being bombarded by missiles.
So we can't cuddle
because we're in dire peril or something.
And that's what i remember of the dream.

They are all very interesting reads. ;x

So, I had another epic one last night.
ALIEN CYBORG ROBOTS

First scene opens. Cyborg invasion, an awful lot like a game of tag on the city streets. I'm running down a street away from one, and reach the end of the street - covered in a row of houses - and a single cross-street, with two others down the cross street, one in each direction. One looks an awful lot like my friend Andy - normal height, pale skin - nearly albino -, light blonde hair - close to white - with pale blue eyes and glasses. In the direction of 'Andy', I see a butterfly net, so I run and pick it up, hoping it will in some way help me fend off the alien-cyborgs. The net suddenly lifts me off the ground, and I am floating above the houses, dangling from the net, around the level of the power lines, moving slightly up and down as I float in the direction I'm facing. 'Andy' shouts - he sounds an awful lot like Andy, but I know it's an alien - and extends a long stick with a net on the end of it, like a pool-cleaning net - and hooks the net over my net. I pull mine sideways and out of his as he starts pulling me down, and float up and over a house, going over fences and yards. I float past a two-story house with a fat man who looks like Elvis watching television and eating snacks in his bed, with the window slightly open. I tell him that the alien-cyborgs that are invading can hear technology and will come to get him if he doesn't turn off the TV, so he changes the channel to see if something is on about that. I continue floating past and across the town. Electronics all around are coming to life and attacking their masters.

Second scene opens. Earth, in the future. The war has been going on for what feels like ages, and finally the alien-cyborg-robots that control electronics are backing off. The Earth is covered in debris, and the people who live there live down in the sewers of old cities where the alien-cyborg-robots cannot reach, because there are no electronics left - not even a toaster. All have been destroyed. There are no children left - the youngest people are easily in their 30s. Is this a premonition of what the world will be like?

Third scene, back at the opening of the invasion. Inside of a military base. There are five people here - myself, the commander, two men and another woman with dark hair tied back in a ponytail. Someone is missing from our tactical meeting, but we continue anyways. The commander is talking about how every counterstrike we have attempted has failed - as if the aliens knew what we were going to do. We had long since removed technology from the tactical meeting room, so we knew they weren't spying that way. They had to have a supporter here listening in - perhaps between the walls. The commander was about to eat a piece of chocolate, flat and shaped like a rabbit, when I realized it was poison. Perhaps another premonition. I shouted at him to stop, then took it and ate it myself. Sure enough, it was poisonous - and had been left there for him. Thankfully, I was immune to poison, so I explained that he'd been about to eat a poisonous chocolate, then move back to the topic of perhaps having spies between the walls. I explain that I can pass through walls, and then demonstrate by leaning back and passing my head through the wall of the room, looking in the space between them. I realize there is a hollow area between the sides of this wall, and a well-lit corridor between them. None of the others can pass between walls, so I offer to scout this area, deciding it must be how the aliens were spying on us before. Granted permission, I proceed to go flying between the walls and along this corridor. I discover three alien cleaning ladies mopping, and proceed to fly up a ladder and up some sets of stairs, the cleaning ladies coming close behind. Getting nervous, assuming they have seen me, I fly faster, but they still keep up. Eventually I get to a level of the building that wasn't in the blueprints - as these spaces between the walls were not. The floors are white and grey marble, and there is a wide corridor that ends in one direction and leads to some wide stairs in the other. Where I have come up, there is a bathroom entrance with a sign declaring that permission to use it is only twice a month - and once a week at the most. The alien cleaning ladies come up behind me and sigh in relief as they reach the bathroom door, turning the lever-handle down and entering. I realize that they must not have been able to use the bathroom in over a week with that twice-monthly limit, and that I merely flew past when it was bathroom-break time. I then fly down the corridor to the wide stairway, and up the stairway to a building entrance, glass doors that can be seen through, but are set low into the ground. In front of the entrance, I see a stone with a plaque facing away from the building on a level on top of some stairs, a section cut back beneath the corner of the building with the stairs even with where the corner was before. The building monument. There is a crowd at the bottom of these steps, with the missing member from our tactical meeting announcing that the commander had just died, and that we would no longer be fighting with the aliens, but joining forces with them, as he was taking the place of the now-deceased commander. I knew the commander was still alive, and realized that this had been the spy - he was working with the aliens, and he had left that poisonous chocolate bunny down in the meeting room for the commander, knowing he would eat it! I realized that this entrance was invisible from the outside to all who didn't know it was there, and proceeded to fly back down and through the walls to the tactical room. I told what I had just seen, and we moved to another room and got out the camera. If that traitor was going to announce that the commander was dead, we were going to counter that on live television - people still watched them, after all, as they were the sort of electronics that did not easily come to life and attack. Something about mainly being made of glass and not having anything sharp or hot to attack with, as once the screen was broken so that there were sharp glass shards they stopped working. We then did a scan with the bits of technology that were untainted that we had and discovered that all roads across the country were blocked, and that cars were tracked. There was no way to travel to make an offensive. That was when the woman with the dark hair and the ponytail got out a hoverboard she had made herself - she could travel that way. She flew out of the roof and into the night, and before long the alien scanners had picked up something moving quickly across the countryside. They zoomed in to see the woman on her hoverboard. The scanners also picked up something else moving quickly - perhaps another threat? So they zoomed in on this one to find me, running faster than the hoverboard or a car could go, across the great plains of the USA.

Fourth scene. I'm a child again, back home at my parents house. Except I'm actually 22. I just seem like a child, for some reason. I'm asleep in my bed, or, at least, trying to, while this invasion is continuing. I'm old enough that I'm not one of the ones that the aliens are actually after, so I figure I might as well get some more sleep. After all, I'm tired, and if I don't do anything they won't bother me. My bed is at the northeast corner of the house, the long side against the east wall of the room, with a window facing to the north on the wall beside where my head rests. After a while, I start getting wet. I don't understand why, and continue trying to sleep. Eventually I look up to see a green water hose coming in the window, pointing up, with the water coming out of it arching towards my bed. I sigh and go to push the hose back out of the window and close it. However, my bed is all wet now, so I don't want to lay back down. I move to a different part of the room, and one of the aliens walks past my window. He looks in and realizes that I'm up. He opens the window and starts talking to me, telling me that my passwords aren't very secure and that they know everything about me. He begins telling me that he knows certain letters and numbers are in my password, and lists the six that are in the password I use most. I shrug, nonreactive - after all, reacting means he'll know he has my password right. He then tells me that he hates how I'm so complacent about everything - I should either be on their side, or I should be very scared - and proceeds to show me the six-digit number to the last sweepstakes I entered as well as what he believes my password to be. I know I don't enter any sweepstakes on my own, so I shrug at that, and he has the characters of the password in the wrong order. Nothing to worry about. After a while, I realize the alien wants me to come outside, and will likely hurt my parents if I don't. I know that my parents are part of the resistance to the aliens - after all, they're the reason that I know these aliens steal children and use them as a power supply for their 400 planets - so I go ahead and go. I figure that since the alien thinks I'm a kid, I must look like a kid, so I might as well start acting like one. I see one of the aliens jump across a fence at the side of my street that blocks us from falling into the gulch ten feet below the street that runs under the street, then out behind the house, and he lands at the top of the waterfall about ten feet away. I realize that they can jump quite a ways, so I figure to exercise my childish curiousity to find out something about these alien-cyborg-robots. Perhaps if we know how far or how high they can jump, we can build fortifications that will keep them out. Moats and walls and whatnot. I walk down the hill of my driveway around the front of the house to the point where I'm even with the street - about ten feet below my house - and ask the alien who had been outside of my room before if I can have a piggyback ride. I reach my arms up, so he picks me up and puts me on his shoulders. He walks around a bit, trying to be friendly so that I won't be scared to go with him later, and then I tell him that "I can jump four inches high, mister alien man. How high can you jump?" He jumps twenty feet into the air with me on his shoulders still, so that his feet are about even with the roof of my house at the top of the hill. He then lets me down off his back, and I show him how high I can jump - as I'd truthfully told him, a few inches. "Maybe someday I can jump as high as you, mister alien man!", I tell him. A van comes up, full of children, and the alien-cyborg-robot tells me that I need to get in. I tell him I need to go potty first and go inside, and on my way back to the restroom poke my head into the room where my parents are cleaning and whisper "They can jump twenty feet high." I then go to the bathroom and change out of the yellow dress I'd been wearing into a shirt and some purple pants and head back outside. The van drives around the corner as I head down the driveway, so instead of being in front of the house it's headed toward the gulch that crosses our side street. A skinny blonde girl who looks to be about twelve comes out of the van and introduces herself as my cousin, and explains that the aliens are taking us to their school, but there are a couple of tests they need to do first. The first thing they want to know is how good we are at hitting balls that fly at us - like playing baseball, but without the bat. A boy from the van starts throwing balls at me. I swing with my arms like I'm holding a bat and miss the first one, then start hitting the ones after that with my hands clasped together. After a little bit, he stops. My cousin tells me that the next test is how good we are at kicking balls, and we go through that test too. The final test of the three they do before we get there? How good are we at magic. So she asks me if I can do any magic. I shrug, and say "Well, sometimes I can do this." I start to float, and hover-walk in a circle off the side of the street over the gulch 20 feet below. The aliens move the van to the top of the waterfall while this is going on and begin loading us back in - it turns out, there isn't enough space in the van for everybody, so, since I'm obviously not afraid to come along with them, I tell them that I can just float behind them, since I float as fast as cars drive. The aliens accept this and start driving up the gulch, and I float along behind them. Before too long, we get to a large coliseum with an arch in the bottom of the side spaced to allow the van to go through. I realize I'm floating too high to go through - a legitimate excuse not to follow, since I can't control when I stop floating or how high I float - and I don't really want to go with them anyways, since I know the plan is to take me to their space station and steal my dreams to power their worlds. I decide to turn around and fly away - my plan had just been to see where they took us to get us on their ship to begin with, anyways - and I start flying in the wrong direction to go through the city to get to my house. I know that since they think I'm a kid, if they lose me that means I'll just go back to my house, so that'll be the direction they look for me in. I know that I can't go there, and I know that I won't be able to fly long enough to reach the synagogue my sister attends, which is in an obscure enough place that the aliens probably wouldn't have gone there to take children yet. So, instead, I fly to the one place where I know a family lives that goes to the synagogue that I also know is close enough for me to fly to. I arrive at miss Ophy's house, and we go up to the synagogue - a two story building with a couple of outbuildings that used to be a christian school, with a large cross sticking out of it as they have yet to remove it, and a banner above the door proclaiming the name, with a picture of what is now called a 'jesus-fish' facing downwards with a tail that becomes a menorah. The synagogue is full of books of all sorts, as the aliens take books when they take children, so people have hidden their textbooks and the like here so that future generations can still be taught. I take to reading these textbooks. I know that the aliens are also robots, and can thus be reprogrammed, so I begin learning how to reprogram them. Some time later, the aliens arrive at the synagogue on Shabbat to take the children. They come to the door, and Rabbi answers and explains that it is Shabbat - no technology is allowed to be used here, and we aren't allowed to travel, because our religion says so. The aliens don't want to offend anybody, so they leave and say that they'll be back. During the days that follow, I build a small airplane, stashing it behind some trees in a gap between the hill and the deck of the second story of the synagogue. I periodically log into someone else's facebook with a proxy (so that things trace back to another country and another person, so that the aliens can't track me that way like they would through my own facebook) and post on my wall that I'm still alive. Some time later, the aliens come back - but it is again the shabbat. I come out of the building and grab the two robots, twisting a button on each of them to disable them, turning off the red glow that lets us know they're evil. I then reprogram them, turning the light to a green light instead, and attach them to my airplane. By the time they come to, they'll have instructions to reprogram any other alien-cyborg-robots they meet to be kind to humans and to reprogram other alien-cyborg-robots programmed into them - with reprogramming others programmed into the ones they program, as well, so that if one of them ever gets destroyed, there will still be others reprogramming. I then leave the synagogue, since by reprogramming the alien-cyborg-robots I have broken shabbat horribly by using technology -while at the synagogue even-, and figure that eventually they'd track me back to there anyways. I disappear back out into the mountains that surround the synagogue, and over the course of a few years make my way back down into the city at their base - one currently known as Denver. My powers of floating have taken a different form, and I'm sitting on a recliner which is floating with me on it, still as fast as cars go, down a street. After a little bit, the recliner sets down on the ground, no longer floating. I try to get it to move again, and realize it won't - and the cars are getting upset at me being in the middle of the street - so I get off and walk on the sidewalk over to where my mother's parents, along with her brother and sister, my aunt and uncle, live - two houses next-door to each other. I meet my aunt, who informs me that my grandparents - and really, all 'old' people - disappeared years ago during the start of the invasion. I feel a little bit sad about not getting to see my grandparents, and return to my parents' house, figuring that by now I probably look enough different that the aliens won't immediately realize that I'm the child that ran away and they never found. I walk up the driveway to find one of my older sisters there, and she explains that she moved back here years ago to keep her son (my 2-year-old nephew) safe, as it was known there were no more children at this residence once I had vanished. For these years, she has kept him inside so that nobody would realize there was a child again. We go in, and I see my nephew - eight years old, and looking somewhat like a tall, chubby version of his two-year-old self. I begin talking to my two older sisters in another room, and explain that I was the one responsible for reprogramming the alien-cyborg-robots. Oldest sister, who attends the synagogue, tells me that she knew that, as the people at the synagogue told her what had happened the last time they'd seen me. I then have a premonition that now is our last hope to rescue the children - it looks an awful lot like text on a page of a book - and explain this to my sisters.
We then teleport, Oldest sister and I to the space station they were draining the children on, and my other older sister, the one with the son, to the home planet of the alien-cyborg-robots. A book flies past my field of vision - apparently, the story of my sister on that planet, having come from the future. It shows a picture of a man punching an alien-cyborg-robot. Apparently the story my sister goes through is another entire book in itself. I continue into the space station, not too out-of-place as some of the adult supporters of the aliens are walking around, I look like an adult now, and the aliens themselves don't look too different from humans except for the glow. About half of them have a red glow, and the other half have a green glow - the sign of my reprogramming. I proceed to the machines they keep the children asleep in to steal their dreams from them, and begin opening them up to take the children out. I have them float along the hallways behind me and take an empty corridor back out, thinking about how I'm going to get them all back to Earth. I know that I can't simply teleport with them, as teleporting takes you someplace very cold and devoid of sensation, and this would immediately wake them and cause them to panic and be lost in a place called between. I realized I had a spaceship docked up to the space station, and took the children toward the spaceship.
The view changes to that of my oldest sister, walking through areas where the alien-cyborg-robots are being reprogrammed. Some of the green ones seem to want to become red ones again, but becoming a green one is apparently rather popular. A lot of politics are now going on, and oldest sister walks into one of the meeting rooms where a group of the alien-cyborg-robots are talking. One female pulls a keychain out, with a small embryo on the end of it, and tells the others about how she just had a baby. Apparently, this keychain is it. Since humans look so like these alien-cyborg-robots, oldest sister proceeds to explain that when humans have children, the embryo on the keychain is what they first look like - except they are inside of the mother at that stage, instead of outside. She explains the stages of growth in the human as being just like the ones these alien-cyborg-robots have, except birth itself is at a different point. This causes the alien-cyborg-robots to realize that human children are just like their own children. This is roots for a political uprising.

Then my first alarm went off, and it was time to wake up.

[Ruinn]

How do you remember your dreams so detailed? I mean, my last dream I was hanging out with friends, and before I knew it I was doing dishes, no remembrance of what happened in between.

[Shellie]

So, the dream I had last night... There was this school for historical re-enactors. The story follows three of the teachers and one little boy, about eight years old, skinny and with bowl-cut hair. They are painting the faculty lounge seafoam green, all up on ladders so that they can reach the roof to paint it. They also do other activities, so many that they are all a blur. After a while, they are seated around a rectangular table, with the three male teachers on a long couch on a long side, the boy in a plush chair on a short side, the door to the room on the other short side, and an empty couch on the other long side. Two female teachers come in and are upset that there is a student in the faculty lounge, and begin to yell at him for it. They go on for a while, and he responds "While I am in here, I am not a student. I am a person." The two female teachers look offended, and then the scene changes - they are having a roll-down-the-stairs competition. During the time that passes, the boy grows a bushy beard, so he looks like an eight-year-old with a bushy beard. They are now back in the faculty lounge, around a chair that the boy is sitting on. One of the profs is holding a butcher knife up to his neck, explaining that it's time to teach him how to shave, and that many have difficulty learning to do this and have to come to him to shave.
Scene change. There is a group of historical re-enactors on a field, dressed up in Victorian-era outfits. The boy from before is walking up to them in his clothing, clean-shaven except for a couple of hairs sticking out of a mole on the side of his face, looking like a chubby 13-year-old instead of an 8-year-old now. The woman in charge of the group welcomes him back, explaining that they were short on people, and that it's time to begin. They re-enacted picknickers watching a battle - except the battle changed into a fair, with tents and carnival rides and many people walking about, all in Victorian-era garb... like a renaissance fair based on the 1800s instead of the renaissance.

[Absoyena]

You sure you didn't watch Sweeney Todd lately D:? The shaving + butcher's knife?

[Shellie]

You sure you didn't watch Sweeney Todd lately D:? The shaving + butcher's knife?

I've... never seen Sweeney Todd. 0_o I know I had a friend play a character in a school production of it once, but I've never seen it.

[Shellie]

[16:52:06] <~Shellie> It started out, I was at church in our gym, walking around in the hallways. As there's only really the one hallway, I kept on ending up in the kitchen as I would make a circle around the building. My dad was cooking in the kitchen, and after a while I found this open can of pop and decided to put it on the counter as I walked through the kitchen.
[16:52:23] <+Bob12528> pop as in soda? XD
[16:52:28] <~Shellie> It was one of those citrus-y ones, because it was green, like normal mountain dew is. Yeah. Soda pop.
[16:53:11] <~Shellie> So I go to set it on the counter and it flies out of my hand and spills all over the floor on the other side of the counter. I'm freaking out, because my dad is busy cooking in here, and why are these ovens open?
[16:53:55] <~Shellie> so I go to try and clean up the spilled pop, starting with picking up the can, and it's become one of those cans of biscuits like pillsbury sells that you pop open, spread on the cookie sheet, and bake.
[16:54:19] <~Shellie> So I'm telling dad that it popped open and how sorry I am, and he explains that if I'm ever the one making those cans, I'll just make them better.
[16:54:56] <~Shellie> So I go ahead and finish twisting it open, taking the metal off the end of the cardboard cylinder
[16:56:41] <~Shellie> So, I take out the top biscuit, but it's dough coiled like a cinnamon roll that, unbaked, is an easy 6 inches across.
[16:57:56] <~Shellie> and I start looking for a cookie sheet, past the ovens that for some reason are still open with things cooking in them (and cookie sheets that aren't flat, but rather are made of sections that fold partway because the whole thing flattened out is too large to fit in an oven that size)
[16:58:12] <~Shellie> and I guess I get too close to dad, because he does what he usually does when people get too close to him
[16:58:35] <~Shellie> freezes, starts stuttering and repeating the syllable he was on in what he was saying over and over again, kind of backs up a couple of steps, and freezes again
[16:59:14] <~Shellie> and I'm like "Watch out!" because he's about to step on this nicely brown cooked steak that's on a broiling pan on the floor
[16:59:24] <~Shellie> but that just makes him back up more, so he steps completely on it.
[17:00:04] <~Shellie> For a moment, I'm kind of upset that we've ruined this steak, and then I start to wonder why it's on the floor... and from that, I wonder why the hot pan hasn't melted the flooring yet (it's linoleum).
[17:00:32] <~Shellie> I turn, and then I'm at the edge of this big lake that looks like it's frozen, but not completely out to the middle, with my classmates.
[17:01:04] <~Shellie> The lake is bordered by cliffs on all sides but the shore that we're on, though the cliffs opposite us have caves under them that we want to explore.
[17:01:26] <~Shellie> So my classmates start walking around the outside of the lake, on the parts that are fairly thickly frozen
[17:01:38] <~Shellie> and I realize that I'm too heavy and will just break through, so I decide to take a shortcut.
[17:02:14] <~Shellie> I can fly, so I fly just barely over the surface of the lake, kind of smashing through the ice that isn't very thick as I do so, right through the middle of the lake and straight in under the cliffs
[17:02:38] <~Shellie> where there are these big icicles hanging down sort of blocking the way back into another cave.
[17:03:09] <~Shellie> So I land on some concrete in this cave, which is rectangular and well-lit, like it's an underground parking garage
[17:03:17] <~Shellie> with signs up on the walls that it's an undersea dock.
[17:03:49] <~Shellie> So I realize that while we thought the lake was higher than it usually was, it used to be much, much higher because this was an undersea dock.
[17:04:14] <~Shellie> I head back through the cave/room and come to these stairs, so I go up them
[17:04:19] <~Shellie> and find myself in a kitchen again
[17:05:25] <~Shellie> and it has sets of stairs leading up and down from it
[17:05:46] <~Shellie> with labels that I can't read, but seem vaguely like they say 'bathrooms' and 'childcare' on the ones pointing down
[17:06:32] <~Shellie> so I go down some of the stairs and see the childcare rooms - it's all well-lit, but there's nobody there, and back up, and up another set of stairs, getting to a three-way split in the stairs.
[17:07:10] <~Shellie> I go down the set I can see all the way to the bottom of, and every door is open into a room with walls painted sea green full of urinals and toilets (the western kind)
[17:07:42] <~Shellie> so I realize that this is the men's bathroom, and go back up, look down one of the other splits and see that it's the women's bathroom, so I go up the third way instead
[17:07:48] <~Shellie> and end up coming out into this auditorium
[17:08:47] <~Shellie> a sort of oblong room with a stage on each end, with the floor raising until it reaches the middle (where I've come out) with cushiony seats that fold built into the floor
[17:09:08] <~Shellie> On one end, the stage has dark green curtains with a very pale green curtain between them
[17:09:31] <~Shellie> and the other end has a stage with curtains that are the colour of red wine that are open. Nobody is here either, but it's still well lit.
[17:10:33] <~Shellie> Suddenly, some people start coming out on the red-curtain stage and filing down, mostly girls in beautiful dresses with split-skirts that have another colour of fabric down the middle
[17:10:51] <~Shellie> and they start talking about how the magic hasn't driven me away like it was supposed to and are surprised that I can see them.
[17:11:27] <~Shellie> Then I sort of 'wake up' and find myself at home, telling my older sisters and my RA, Lisa, about the trip there and about how they used magic.
[17:12:25] <~Shellie> Oldest sister comments about how magic is of the devil and my sisters walk out the door, and I go on to tell Lisa about how magic was just how things were for them - they didn't have anything else, and they didn't worship anybody to get it. They just kind of... had it.
[17:13:37] <~Shellie> and I show her how the magic works, that they could imagine a dress or something - and this dress starts appearing in the air, wine-red with deeper red lace on it and gemstones - how it looked and how it felt, and when they were happy with it, it would simply appear on them, and that was how they all dressed.
[17:15:21] <~Shellie> So then Star Fleet is talking to me, disappointed that I didn't make contact with them that was appropriate for Star Fleet to begin things such as trade with them and to explore their planet. I tell them that they said they were much happier living in the age of Moses than the age of Connecticut and didn't need the things they had once had that set them apart technologically.

[Shellie]

Today's dream was a bit more normal.
So, I was at high school again, in my ceramics class. I wasn't actually part of the class, but the teacher was letting me sit in the class anyways. She's a really tall, stick-thin white woman with brown hair that is a straight curl around her head. I come into class, getting my clay and going to sit on the end of the room next to the cabinets we store our works-in-progress in, and she is holding a sculpture that is quite obviously a Charizard and a Lugia with wings and tails touching - except instead of green under-wings, Charizard has purple under-wings... and instead of blue, Lugia has purple. Lugia also has dragon wings instead of those hand-wings. But it's still obviously a Lugia. It should be a completed work, but the glazes (the shiny colours around the outside) have run together, so there is a big purple splotch spreading from Charizard's wing to Lugia's wing.
The boy next to me has a brown book which he says it's new. He's showing it to me, and I look at the title. It says "Twilight", and it's obvious he expects some sort of squealing fangirl reaction from me. I tell him, quite frankly, that I've never read the series and that I have no intent to start reading that particular one. (After all, dad read it, and he didn't tell me it was a particularly good read. Just that the werewolves aren't actually werewolves.) So I proceed to start working with my clay, and I go to get a small basin of water to keep the clay wet with. When I return to the table, the boy that was sitting next to me has ground the lugia and the head of the charizard off his lugia-and-charizard sculpture because it wasn't quite right, as if he's preparing to add fresh clay to the sculpture and re-fire it. The little chunks of his already-fired piece start getting into my clay, making it stiffer and harder to work with. I start to get frustrated and just start making a Ponyta like the one I had in my dream last week - very thin legs, very thin body, very large flaming mane and tail - but I don't have enough clay to make the whole thing... though legs that thin wouldn't hold up while the clay is wet anyways.
Class ends, and I'm at home again that night. I've been talking to my younger siblings while we've been getting ready to go on vacation or something. I go to lay down, and my mom comes in the room and finds me laying down with my eyes closed and assumes I'm asleep - but she was coming in to remind me I needed to wash dishes (or perhaps to tell me in the first place.) She asks my younger siblings if I've washed any yet, and if so, how many, saying that if I've at least done two already she'll let it slide. I'm thinking to myself "I didn't know I was supposed to wash dishes..."
Then, it's morning. I'm getting ready to go to school with my little brother driving, and we're heading out through our yard to the car, when I suddenly realize - I'm a senior in college. That was why the ceramics teacher was just letting me sit in and make whatever I wanted. What am I doing still going to high school? It's okay to miss classes that I'm not enrolled in.

[jhankar123]

wow you actually remember your dreams? so detailed o.o

[Shellie]

@jhankar - I do, provided I don't fall asleep again after I have them. They fade pretty fast when that happens. Speaking of, I had two dreams this afternoon (I guess I was really tired, because I went to take a nap at about 12:30 and woke up vaguely at about 5:00 and was like 'whoah, that was a fun dream', but then fell asleep again and didn't wake up until 8:30, and I've completely lost that dream - but I had another one. Speaking of...

SCHOOL PHOTO CONTEST
So, I was at my school, in the student center building, which includes our gym, our bookstore, and our cafeteria. I needed to use the restroom, so I went there, went in a stall, locked it, pulled up my dress and down my underpants, and sat down on the toilet. (A western-world one, not one of those holes in the floor that you crouch on.) The skirt of the dress still covered my naughty bits, but it didn't go very far down my thighs.
I heard a girl and a boy come in, and they were talking. I couldn't tell about what, just that after a little bit, more people started coming in to the bathroom. The boy who'd been talking (he was blonde, hair spiked on top of his head, cut short all around the sides, and with a rat-tail that went halfway down his back at the bottom) walked over to my stall (and for some reason the walls of it were suddenly shorter) and looked over it and stared at me for a moment, walked away, then came back and looked at me some more. I was freaking out, because I was on the toilet, and it was a man looking at me in the women's bathroom. Then some more men come in, and one goes into the stall next to me and looks over into my stall. I get indignant and ask why the hell they're looking in my stall WHILE I'M TRYING TO PEE, and the man in the stall next to me admits his was a dirty look. (Oh my!) I start crying because they won't stop looking at me, and they're not even supposed to be in this bathroom anyways.
Scene changes. Now I'm in chapel in an auditorium of some sort, because there are the fold-down seats that are permanently in place (our chapel doesn't have those), and there is this big screen up that's apparently listing scores on PHOTOS OF ANYONE AND EVERYONE, apparently by how people rate the individual photos. At first my score is going up by 33s every time, with comments like 'cute eyes!' and whatnot, and I know these are the photos of me in the bathroom. The score increase drops to between 1 and 3 now for my line, talking about how I'm crying, and then later how I'm stealing the change from the bathroom stalls by pressing the 'coin return' button while people are in them and locking them in, then I'm going out and pretending to take pictures of people for this but not really taking pictures.
Scene changes to out in a hallway, where there's a fair going on and a bunch of groups of people around. I'm laying on the floor, under a blanket, trying to figure out how I got there and where my clothes are. A me in a men's suit and black glasses walks past, pretending to take pictures of people with a box of white candies, so people are posing for this me that's walking past. That me stops at a group of girls and 'takes their picture', then walks off - then one of the faculty comes up and reminds them that if the person doesn't give you the photograph they take, they're not allowed to be taking it... so pretending to take photos is against the rules of the school.
Back to the assembly. Apparently I'm going to get kicked out of the school for stealing the money and for pretending to take pictures of people (and trying not to let them take pictures of me!)
Back in the bathroom. I'm trying to put my clothes back on, now that I've found them, and one of the male teachers is standing there talking to me. I no longer feel awkward because this has just happened so much, but I'm facing away from him because my clothes are on the other side of the stall from the wall he's looking over, down next to the toilet. I'm still upset about all of this men-taking-pictures-in-the-women's-bathroom thing, because I thought our school rules were supposed to be really conservative, as in, like, men and women can't touch each other and have separate bathrooms and only women can put socks on people.
I'm then in the cafeteria making breakfast - funnel cakes with fruit on top of them.
The scene shifts to a video of me-but-not-really-me being interviewed about how she feels about being kicked out of school for this, and getting her things ready and just leaving town within hours of the car arriving for her to put things into, even though she's lived in town all her life. (which I haven't.) Everything of hers is gone now, leaving no trace that she ever attended the college here, or even lived in town.
I then am looking over a candy shop that's part of the college, and walk in and buy some candy with the bag of change I stole from the bathrooms. Mm, delicious candy.

Scene changes, and I am out in a valley surrounded by hills (nowhere near town), and sister is calling her 2-year-old son so that he'll come to her, because he's run a fair ways away across the valley. I'm walking up a road that goes up a hill out of the valley. I shout to sister that I'm going to get the car and that I'll be back soon, and she shouts that we aren't supposed to go up that hill without a car, and that even with a car it's risky. The hill gets steeper and steeper, eventually getting to be a vertical road - I'm just trying to climb straight up now - when the road curves over my head, because it's moving to keep me from climbing it, and goes in a loop above my head and back down behind me. The car falls - we're trapped in this valley.

[Rofls]

Do you get to control your dreams?'cause I can.

[Shellie]

@Rofls - there's probably a vague sense of control in them. I know sometimes I've been like "Wait, what?" and gone back and had a scene replay in a dream.


NEW DREAM - 3/14/10 AM - Purple Butterfly Wings and Invisible Clothing
So, I had this dream last night. I was on a boardwalk just above the water built into the side of a cliff, talking to Charlie Brown from Peanuts. He was getting ready to try and visit one of the other communities that was built into the side of the cliffs, which made a semicircle around the water. A few of us decided to try and go with him, so we climbed into the water - about six of us - and started floating in the current towards the next community, which was carved into the cliff face.
We floated for a bit, and the current curved, so we didn't get near enough to the next community to swim to it. However, it did run us into some sandy bar-islands, where we found some trees with pineapples growing on them, along with corn growing. I could also see them from above, for some reason, so it looked like a town would in the earlier Final Fantasy games, complete with being pixelly so you could tell which plants had completely grown fruits and which didn't yet.
We realized there was enough food there that we could harvest it, and even our group member who eats so much that he'd have eaten half of the contents of the island wouldn't manage to eat it all before we'd get it harvested. We got ready to start harvesting when someone in the group pointed out that if we took all the food (this was obviously somebody's orchard because the plants were in a straight line), we would starve whoever got their food here, and it would only feed us for three or four days.
We left the plants alone and climbed back into the water to see where else the current would take us, and the current began curving again. Before long, it drove us into the side of a hill at the bottom of the cliff which supported the end of the boardwalk. There were some old ladies harvesting plants there, so we started climbing back up onto the boardwalk, realizing that we weren't going to manage to make it to any of the other communities - the current just brought us back here, in a loop.
Well, nobody else could make it to any of the other communities, anyways. The current was too fast to swim in, which is why we'd just floated and let it carry us, and there was no land route - we were at the bottom of a sheer cliff which had no paths leading up or anything. I decided I would try to make it to this next community by myself, though, because I could fly.
I focused for a moment, and some large, purple butterfly wings popped out of my back. I could vaguely see them, for a moment, as a slight purple tint to the air. The old ladies started crossing themselves, as they could see my wings quite plainly and this was obviously witchcraft... but none of my friends could see the wings. They could tell that something was wrong with me, but they couldn't tell what.
The wings, though, happened to come out in such a way as to snap the top of my dress, which I knew was a long, beautiful purple gown - the same colour as my wings - but I couldn't see except for the vague notion that there was a dress on me. I gasped, realizing that my chest was exposed, and pulled the front of the dress back up.
The next building over was a dress shop. I hurried in to it, and they were very busy that day. There were ladies in plain pinkish-white dresses busy measuring people and sewing dresses. I asked if they could fix my dress for me, but most of them said they were too busy and were getting ready to send me out of the shop when one of them noticed how beautiful my dress (which I still couldn't see) was and started describing the purples and the sparklingness of it to everybody, stating that she would be proud to fix that dress for me. We went down into the basement of the shop - a room built hanging over the water, but below the main level of the boardwalk - and I changed into one of their work dresses so that I would have something to wear while she was fixing my dress, then proceeded back out into the main part of the shop. I sat down near the group of ladies working by the door, who ignored me.
After sitting there being ignored for a little bit, a woman who looked like a Japanese Schoolgirl, complete with a navy blue sailor uniform with white stripes on the collar, came in, saying she was new to the community and asking if she could get some new clothes that would be appropriate for the community. Now, this community never had outsiders, so the women looked shocked. I knew we never had outsiders too, but I had the perfect thing for her. I pulled out an outfit (which I still couldn't see, but knew was a nice outfit) and offered it to her. She said it was beautiful and that it seemed quite suitable, thanked me, took it, and headed out the door.
I decided I would go take a walk instead of sit there and be ignored, so I walked out the door and back onto the boardwalk. Suddenly, two white mice climbed onto my legs and started biting at my socks and at my legs. I tried to shake them off, but they just kept climbing back on. I figured they wouldn't be able to climb back onto me if I flew out over the water and shook them off, so I started flapping my wings, rose a couple of feet off the boardwalk, and flew about twenty feet out over the water, then started shaking them off my legs again. I had to kick the mice a few times, but they eventually fell off of my legs and into the water.
I didn't know whether or not these mice could swim, so I knew I could never go swimming in the current again, just in case they were still there and tried to eat me again. As it turned out, these mice were powerful swimmers - they swam straight for the support beams underneath the boardwalk and began chewing on them, two beams at a time. Sections of the boardwalk began collapsing as the beams were eaten, and I realized that I'd just destroyed that community. I would have to find a new place to live, because this one was gone now.
I flew over to the next community, built up a ways in the cliff face. It was made of rock, so I knew the mice couldn't eat this place.
My vision began zooming out from the new community, though, until I could see these incredibly tall gray mountains atop the cliff, stretching for quite some ways. At this point, I knew I would have to travel through those mountains. For what, I didn't know. In my mind, I was flying across them in a flying car, taking a couple of minutes to cross - and having to hold my breath the whole time because I was so high that there was no air.
On the other side of these mountains was a high plateau made of red stone - completely barren and empty except for one thing that looked like walls, about six inches thick, in the shape of the sides of a volcano with lava dripping down it, about twice the height of a building but ground flat on the top. I knew I had a quest that would lead me there.
My mind's eye panned back over to the mountains, telling me that there was probably something I had to get there, too, so I couldn't just fly over them in the car like I'd initially seen myself doing - I would have to travel through them.

[Cowpie]

"I could also see them from above, for some reason, so it looked like a town would in the earlier Final Fantasy games, complete with being pixelly so you could tell which plants had completely grown fruits and which didn't yet. "

^this coupled with someone having told me that one of your accounts is called Kentucky Fried Chocobo makes you a very awesome person

[Absoyena]

I actually dreamt about me having to ride on a Velociraptors back to win a race against the T-Rex riders. The price would be that your dinosaur could marry with a female dinosaur who had apparently organised the races. I came in second, but the dinosaur was a velociraptor as well, and so chose my Raptor as her mate even though I didn't win. Aside from that, I don't remember everything as clearly, but I think Tidus and Kyle were in there as well, making a few cameo's.

That said, this is YOUR dream journal, not mine XD And I don't think it would be handy to make one for myself, seeing as I , 1. DOn't remember everything so detailed and 2. Don't dream so epic/and manage to remember them in as a much detail as you do.

I do, to some extent, manage to capture most of my dreams when I wake up. :P However, it usually fades rather quickly after a few days.

[Shellie]

So you were a raptor-riding bandito? o3o Did you grow a mustache through sheer force of will?

[jhankar123]

can i post my dream on here before i forget it?

[Lust]

All my dreams are about either dying,or forgeting a speech in english class.O.o your dreams are so detailed :D

3/17/10 AM

[18:15:56] <+DeliciousBBQ> Okay. So, there was this group of kids that apparently teleported between universes.
[18:16:33] <+DeliciousBBQ> They would try and help fix whatever was wrong with the universe, but thus far invariably some catastrophe had happened and destroyed the universe so they had to leave it.
[18:16:56] <+DeliciousBBQ> They're on the sixth universe that they've traveled to from their own, in this seaside town with no people, and starting to argue.
[18:17:23] <+DeliciousBBQ> One of the girls is really upset because she realizes that these catastrophes are following them, and comes to the conclusion that they happen BECAUSE they're there.
[18:17:55] <+DeliciousBBQ> so she runs away from the group, out toward the shoreline to where the group can't see her anymore.
[18:18:20] <+DeliciousBBQ> A minute or two later, this giant marble statue comes tromping inland and nearly steps on the group (who scoot out from under its feet just in time)
[18:18:53] <+DeliciousBBQ> The statue proceeds inland to the middle of the town, and they notice this statue has the girl gripped in its hand.
[18:19:39] <+DeliciousBBQ> They start heading in towards the town to try and stop the statue when the little kid of the group (He's a little hispanic boy) runs off and up and down the hills at the edge of town.
[18:20:15] <+DeliciousBBQ> The group splits up, with the chubby old hispanic guy with a gray moustache going after the little kid, and the teenagers heading further into the town after the statue.
[18:21:04] <+DeliciousBBQ> Old guy runs into me, where I'm just kind of floating around the town. I'm a universe traveler too, except I have superpowers (unlike them), but they don't always work the way I expect them to... and catastrophe doesn't follow me.
[18:21:19] <+DeliciousBBQ> So I try and help him catch the little boy by flying after him
[18:21:33] <+DeliciousBBQ> and I realize I can't fly down the hill, so I have to run. My flying only works up. Straight up.
[18:21:39] <+DeliciousBBQ> Or straight forward.
[18:21:41] <+DeliciousBBQ> I can't angle.
[18:22:20] <+DeliciousBBQ> so I'm chasing after this kid, and he starts running up another hill (these are kind of coastal woods on the hillside), so I fly up and then forward and am catching up to him
[18:22:30] <+DeliciousBBQ> when he goes into this pavilion and starts crawling under all of the chairs
[18:22:53] <+DeliciousBBQ> so I just barely fit under the chairs and start crawling after him
[18:23:11] <+DeliciousBBQ> Eventually he comes out to where the old guy is, so then we all head into the town together.
[18:23:27] <+DeliciousBBQ> There's nobody in this universe except for us, apparently, but we're trying to get the girl back from the statue.
[18:24:00] <+DeliciousBBQ> I fly straight up so that I'm level with its face, and it's shaving with a razor made out of marble, still gripping the girl in the same hand as it has the razor in.
[18:24:51] <+DeliciousBBQ> so I start talking to the statue and grabbing at its fingers to get it to loosen its grip and let go of the girl. After a while it does, and we head back out into the woods.
[18:25:50] <+DeliciousBBQ> This sort of chart of what the girl thinks is happening to the universes flashes through my field of vision (It's green, and gets a black pixel in the center, and then black pixels start radiating out of it like they're burning up the green.)
[18:26:32] <+DeliciousBBQ> and she's absolutely certain that they're destroying universes just by being in them and wants to stay in this one.
[18:27:00] <+DeliciousBBQ> So these two giant orbs of water start flying after her and me, except they're solid, and when they hit us they hurl us up against trees.
[18:27:10] <+DeliciousBBQ> She starts running, and I turn around and start launching fireballs at it.
[18:28:11] <+DeliciousBBQ> Eventually I just use the 'Fire Soul' attack that Sailor Mars uses in SailorMoon, where she just launches this continuous stream of flame. (In the English dub, they called it "Mars Firestorm Flash" the one time she used it like a continuous stream.)
[18:28:35] <+DeliciousBBQ> and keep launching this fire at the water until it evaporates, and apparently this takes out both of the orbs.
[18:29:44] <+DeliciousBBQ> Anyways. As it turns out, we were just roleplaying this on a game called Furcadia, so the field of vision moves out to me moving a character around and landing on portals to move me between different universes ('dreams') so I can see what all of the ones we're planning to visit soon are like.
[18:31:11] <+DeliciousBBQ> Then we're in a different universe, all talking about how we should skype or something so we can hear each other's voices while we do this. I'm walking around hovering over stuff, and we're crossing a busy road with white shale on either side of it on a hillside, then into a parking lot that's a shortcut to where we're going... heading around all sorts of semi-trucks and dumpsters and some construction equipment.
[18:31:38] <+DeliciousBBQ> The construction people start complaining about how there shouldn't be kids there as I'm walking past and I'm like "Excuse me? I'm 22."
[18:31:52] <+DeliciousBBQ> and go ahead and just hover-walk directly over the spot where they're working to tick 'em off.
[18:32:32] <+DeliciousBBQ> then sometime while we were still crossing that parking lot/construction site, I woke up.

3/20/10 AM - I dream the plot of the next book I read

I was busy sleeping, and in my dream I was dreaming about two neighbouring kingdoms, and in one of them, the queen died... so the king married the princess from the other kingdom, and I was that princess.
The dream begins to explore the building (later the castle) that the princess now lives in, and we are following three young boys, all about four years in age. They are running around looking in rooms, and they come across the room with the king's maidservant in it. They talk to her about wanting to show her their magic, and wanting to go to the library, so they run off through the building, turning off the lights as they go. When the boys get to the library, they run off in different directions to hide. The new queen (princess from the other kingdom, also, me.) walks into the room and starts showing them better places to hide so that they won't be seen immediately. The handmaid is following the trail of the boys, seeing that the lights are turned off places, and I realize that her thought is to murder these three boys while they're here. I don't know why, but I use some magic cards labeled Illusion and Maze and a staff (a la CardCaptorSakura) and create a giant maze between her and these boys so I can get them out of there.
As it turns out, the king is treating the new queen (me) very, very poorly, so she/I ends up forming a group out on the edge of the kingdom to get ready to overthrow the king. The king finds out about this, and begins sending out his armies to squash this little group - armies of unicorns, bears, lions, all with people with spears on their backs.
To keep the unicorns away, I project the flavour of meat into their mouths, stronger as they get closer. Unicorns don't eat meat, so they find this abysmal and turn away, realizing they shouldn't fight the queen. The bears and lions, however, find this joyful, so they continue on and are slaughtered as they reach the queen's encampment. The unicorns end up siding with the queen, so she now has a decently sized army.
The king realizes attacking isn't going to work, so he invites the queen back for a meal, and has one of his right-hand men prepare the meal for her - laced with lead so that the more she eats these meals, the more will get in her blood, and the sicker and weaker she'll get. I, the queen, go to the first of these meals and it is just a snack. I walk with the man preparing the meal so I can bring the food with me to eat with the king, and he provides me my choice of any one of a series of cheese chunks and my choice of a plateful of seashells. (I don't entirely understand how I'm supposed to eat seashells, but I guess they're good food here?) I know that they're poisonous to me, so I dump them off the plate and out the window of the castle, saying they were poisonous. The right-hand man splutters that they weren't poisoned, but I state "I have Detect Poison.", and he continues to splutter that it wasn't poison, it was lead. I walk off. The truce-meals? They are OFF.

I wake up slightly, and in my waking world I am starting to read a book. To my surprise, thus far, it has the exact same plotline as what I just read. The dialogue is slightly different, but it has the same plotline. I'm like "Whoah. I guess I can't write this as a children's book. It's already been written.", and decide to sleep some more to see if I'll dream the rest of the story before I read it.

Back in my dream, I am leading an assault on the castle with my armies. I have powerful magic, and physically take on the king myself with this magic while my armies are distracting his armies. I now rule the kingdom.

I wake up again, and continue reading. In the book, the assault fails, as the queen's magic isn't near so powerful as mine is in my dream. She retreats after losing to the king and having much of her army chopped down, and begins rebuilding. Many of the people of the kingdom choose now to side with her, and the encampment on the end of the kingdom grows. Before long, there isn't enough food and the grass is turning to mud from the sheep overgrazing. Another attack needs to be staged, before the encampment begins to starve.

Sleeping again, I'm back in the story. My take-over? It never happened. In this reality, I lost that battle, and it seemed that the king always knew my moves and where I would attack before I would attack it. He must have some sort of spell that shows him this, because he knows even when I make raids alone, and I tell no one about these. Well, this time the assault will be right on his palace again. But first, as queen and high priestess, I must make a sacrifice. (involving making a living animal bleed, but we do not kill them. It is their cries and their blood that bring the god Baalshamon's favor.) I go into the tent with the altar and am shot in the arm with an arrow because I did not announce myself, and the altar-keeper assumes it was an enemy coming inside. Thankfully, the arrow was not poisoned, though the altar-keeper has very powerful poisons himself. I pull the arrow out and am bleeding from my arm, but I still make the sacrifice. My own blood mingles with that of the sheep I am sacrificing, and the sheep bleats.

I wake, and read, and dream, and wake and read and dream. The story continues.

We attack the palace again, and the king's cavalry within the palace is cutting down my men - he refers to them derisively as 'cowboys' and that they are no match for knights. I am fighting him once more, and he is commenting on how my dragon-god is not doing much good for me. This time, the three boys I saved come out, somewhat older now - it turns out that they are the princes, and also the king's spellcasters. They are my children, through the king. I remind them of the time I saved them, and that it was the king's handmaid who wanted to kill them.
The king is outraged at this, because he had no clue that his handmaid had tried to kill his sons, and it was the handmaid who had encouraged him against me.

I woke again, to see my brother Tom standing over me, asleep on my top bunkbed with the book still in my hands. I hadn't yet reached the ending, but he was here to tell me I needed to go clean something. Unless, of course, this book was homework. I go through my list of things to do, sure it was, and everywhere that I'd seen this book's title before, it lists another book now. I am rather confused, and unable to finish the book before doing work because the list no longer says it is homework.

[Absoyena]

And you're sure you haven't read the book before >>?

[Shellie]

I don't believe I've ever read a book with that particular plot. So yes, I'm sure I've never read said book before.

Island Princess 4/3/10
[20:58:04] <+DeliciousBBQ> So, I was having this dream last night where I was a princess or something of this kingdom on the sea - like, it was built up on stilts just above the water, but all of the land was underground. It was made up of a playground and some sort of a palace with a dock sticking out. Lots of those floaty kick-boards that they have at swimming pools were around.
[20:59:27] <+DeliciousBBQ> and this prince came and I thought he was really cute or something, and he liked me, so we were talking, and eventually had to go inside the palace. He told me I was pretty and that he liked me, and we went into the main throne room. He was here to marry the princess or something, which meant he was going to marry be.
[20:59:59] <+DeliciousBBQ> But once we got in there, the king called out my sister (who I didn't know I had), who was real skinny with long blonde hair and a big chest
[21:00:05] <+DeliciousBBQ> apparently the prince was supposed to marry her
[21:00:15] <+DeliciousBBQ> so she started insulting me and telling me how ugly I was
[21:00:59] <+DeliciousBBQ> It made me sad, so I decided I would leave the kingdom. After all, I could see an island somewhat nearby - as in, still within sight, but too far to really swim there.
[21:02:25] <+DeliciousBBQ> So after my sister made fun of me, I went outside and jumped off the dock into the water and started gathering up all the kickboards that were around, so that they'd all be on the dock and not floating out to sea. Then I started swimming/flying toward the island (I guess I could fly, but only for short periods of time, and only near the water.)
[21:03:27] <+DeliciousBBQ> So partway to the island, I started passing these empty boats that looked like ones from amusement parks, and ones that looked like san-francisco trolleys... except the bottoms of them had sunk into the water, and they were filling up.
[21:03:50] <+DeliciousBBQ> So I took a boat-boat and a trolley-boat and picked them up out of the water, dumped all the water out, and put them back on the water
[21:04:03] <+DeliciousBBQ> then climbed into them and started rowing, because I had run out of power to fly.
[21:05:07] <+DeliciousBBQ> So eventually I got to this island, and it was crowded and full of people. It wasn't very big, but apparently it was the site of this big theater made out of stone rising up out of the water and there was a concert going on there.
[21:05:49] <+DeliciousBBQ> so I took my boats right up to the edge of it and put them just out of the water next to the bottom steps of the theater, then went up and in.
[21:06:16] <+DeliciousBBQ> The inside of the theater was even lower down than the outside, but since it was surrounded by the steps and all the seating, it was dry inside. o3o
[21:06:32] <+DeliciousBBQ> ...and then boyfriend called and woke me up, because it was almost 3 in the afternoon.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom on the moon and a kingdom on the earth. The princess of the kingdom on the moon had fallen in love with the prince on the earth, and they would often run away together for days at a time. The princess was short and pale with blonde hair that went down to her ankles, always carried up on her head in two buns with pigtails drifting down out of them. (Think Sailor Moon. Because that's who this princess is.) The prince was a fair amount taller, with pale skin and short dark hair. (Prince Endymion! or Darien if you watch the English dub.)
The Prince and the Princess were in a snowy forest together, near the south pole, when this minotaur-zombie appeared. With loud grunts and calls, he said that he would kill Sailor Moon and become the pride of his tribe, so he began attacking the princess. The Prince took out his sword and began to fight the minotaur-zombie, but the sword had no effect. The minotaur-zombie shrugged off every attack. There was nothing left to do but run. The prince ran to the princess and lifted her off the ground, her dress falling off to reveal her Sailor uniform underneath. He ran, carrying her in his arms, the minotaur-zombie chasing after. The Moon Princess began attacking the minotaur-zombie with her magic tiara, but it also shrugged off this attack. They ran for some time, the minotaur-zombie coming closer and closer, when suddenly the princess's protectors, the princesses of the other four planetary kingdoms that often visited the kingdom on the moon, came skiing towards them, each fully clothed in ski regalia in their respective colours - Princess Mercury, Blue; Mars, Red; Jupiter, Green; Venus, Yellow - with skis and ski-poles also in those colours. Princesses Jupiter and Venus shouted that they would take this monster on to save the Moon Princess, while Mercury and Mars stayed back nearer to the Moon Princess. Jupiter and Venus skiied up to the minotaur-zombie, crossing and uncrossing their ski-poles, then went on either side of it, dragging their crossed ski-poles into the minotaur-zombie's ankles. The minotaur tripped, falling in front of princesses Mercury and Mars, and disappeared into the snow, leaving only an outline where there was no snow. The monster was vanquished!
Now, the princesses were all outside of a small chapel built atop a flight of stairs, along with the prince. I was there, another one of the princess's friends, and made the comment after seeing the minotaur of "No wonder the queen doesn't want you coming down to earth." The Moon Princess got very upset at this statement, so I tried to respond with "B...but...! I'm here to help protect you! Byzantine Power Make-Up!" (Apparently, Byzantine power transforms me into SAILOR SUN, who looks like Sailor Moon, but with orange hair instead of blonde, and loops on the head instead of buns!) As I finished transforming, I realized that from where I was on the top steps, I could see, through a gap in the trees, the palace of an earth princess named Beryl and a cathedral made of ice beside it. The Moon Princess came up beside me and she could see it too, so we decided we would go visit this palace. The princess transformed into a servant-girl in the garb worn in that palace, long black dress with yellow designs on it, and we walked in and up to Princess Beryl's chambers, where I began talking to the princess - who congratulated me on how much like the Moon Princess I and my new friend looked, and began talking about how much she wished the earth prince liked her. She then talked about her plans to invade the moon kingdom in order to remove competition for the prince, which leads to the question my dream asked...

...if the Moon Princess knows the invasion is coming and can escape, does she still get killed when the invasion happens?

HAY GAIZ. LOOK, A NECROPOST.

10/9/10 - 1930s football. Also space travel.
[13:12:40] <@BBQPidgey> Starts out with a view of a planet, a la 'Spore Creature Creator'
[13:13:43] <@BBQPidgey> kind of zooming in, and the planet is covered with little purple creatures that look like a cross between the three species I've made (The Shellie, the Kaedunys, and... uhm... my purple ones that I don't remember the names of that live on planet LOLSPLOSION)
[13:13:51] <@BBQPidgey> then this disaster strikes
[13:14:11] <@BBQPidgey> every single nest they have across the entire island-continent gets destroyed
[13:14:23] <@BBQPidgey> the first one by some sort of ray from the gods
[13:14:40] <@BBQPidgey> and then a storm rises up over the rest, and lightning strikes them and they all burn to the ground
[13:15:02] <@BBQPidgey> so, as a last-ditch attempt at species survival, the primitive species develops and launches a spaceship with the last of them in it
[13:15:38] <@BBQPidgey> a bunch of galactic empires discover them
[13:15:49] <@BBQPidgey> and for some reason, most of them want this species destroyed
[13:16:13] <@BBQPidgey> but this one race decides to take the species in
[13:16:56] <@BBQPidgey> and provide them with this big atrium beneath this massive jungle
[13:17:13] <@BBQPidgey> on this little single island on one of their planets, nowhere near anything else.
[13:17:28] <@BBQPidgey> so this race, which now contains myself, lands on this planet
[13:17:51] <@BBQPidgey> and I go exploring the atrium and stuff to find out where exactly we'll all be living. (It's under the jungle so the other races can't see where we are.)
[13:20:06] <@BBQPidgey> Okay. Anyways. The atrium.
[13:20:23] <@BBQPidgey> I go outside of it, still looking around to see where we'll live
[13:20:48] <@BBQPidgey> and there are these brick houses up on the top of platforms
[13:21:00] <@BBQPidgey> so I go "Hey, can we live inside of one of those?"
[13:21:47] <@BBQPidgey> and my older sister apparently lives in one of them, pokes her head out the door to see what's going on
[13:22:04] <@BBQPidgey> so this race that's letting my species live on the planet is like "Oh, okay. Yeah, you can stay there."
[13:22:26] <@BBQPidgey> so I go inside to go look at the place
[13:22:50] <@BBQPidgey> and notice this big limo show up outside, with one of the races that wants us annihilated
[13:23:08] <@BBQPidgey> and they're cutting a deal with the race that's letting us stay on their planet to take us
[13:23:13] <@BBQPidgey> and I'm like D:
[13:23:20] <@BBQPidgey> so then I'm suddenly at my sister's place
[13:23:25] <@BBQPidgey> and people are watching a movie
[13:23:45] <@BBQPidgey> and I'm kind of tired, but her husband (who's divorcing her) and a bunch of his friends are around
[13:23:57] <@BBQPidgey> apparently including his new girlfriend that he has in my dream
[13:24:13] <@BBQPidgey> so I'm tired and stuff
[13:24:29] <@BBQPidgey> and it starts in on this movie, which is apparently a documentary on 1930's new york
[13:25:02] <@BBQPidgey> and is talking about how certain types of theives came out at certain times of day and how nobody can tell who the theives are
[13:25:07] <@BBQPidgey> and suddenly I'm in 1930s new york
[13:25:24] <@BBQPidgey> watching lots of people go to the place for relief (like, to get checks 'n stuff)
[13:25:49] <@BBQPidgey> They're all pretty obviously wearing blue sailor uniforms. -nod- While everyone else is in hobo-clothes.
[13:26:14] <@BBQPidgey> so I go inside this government-relief building
[13:26:25] <@BBQPidgey> and go "Hey, y'know what'd be neat? If these people had food to eat."
[13:26:39] <@BBQPidgey> so I use my magic powers to conjure up a roasted turkey
[13:27:08] <@BBQPidgey> and pass it out to the few people who are left in there, making sure to let people know it's a kosher turkey so that they can still eat it if they're jewish :>
[13:27:25] <@BBQPidgey> and then the people outside figure out that I'm passing out food in there
[13:27:36] <@BBQPidgey> so there's this big mob coming in, and my power isn't working to conjure more food
[13:29:02] <@BBQPidgey> so, my magic isn't working to conjure anymore food
[13:29:18] <@BBQPidgey> so I'm suddenly in this building with a group of guys in swimsuits (the boxer kind of swimsuit)
[13:29:33] <@BBQPidgey> and am conjuring a pool for them to swim in
[13:29:42] <@BBQPidgey> and one of the guys talks about how he can't swim
[13:29:46] <@BBQPidgey> and they all dive in the water
[13:29:58] <@BBQPidgey> so I'm like "Oh. I should probably make the deep end a little shallower, then."
[13:30:20] <@BBQPidgey> and start trying to use my magic to do that, but apparently it just raises the shallowest part of the shallow end so it's almost a walk-in pool
[13:30:41] <@BBQPidgey> so I try to lower that again and it lowers the deck at the corner next to the pool
[13:31:03] <@BBQPidgey> so instead I just use my magic to make the space inside the room bigger, so that the pool doesn't take the whole thing up anymore
[13:31:08] <@BBQPidgey> and so that there's, like, space for a party
[13:31:14] <@BBQPidgey> and end up with this big mob in there
[13:31:36] <@BBQPidgey> all complaining about how jews are the source of all problems in society and how all good christians should hate jews
[13:31:54] <@BBQPidgey> and I'm all like "D: Guys. I'm Jewish. Well, not ethnically, but belief-wise..."
[13:32:11] <@BBQPidgey> and levitate over to the most verbal of the complainers
[13:32:51] <@BBQPidgey> and start going on at them about how if Jesus was indeed the messiah, what the jews teach is equally close to what was written down as jesus having taught as what the christians teach
[13:33:04] <@BBQPidgey> and Rabbi's looking at me and kind of gesturing at me to stop talking
[13:33:58] <@BBQPidgey> and then I realize that whatever magic powers I'm able to use... anybody around me at that point in time is able to use the same powers, provided they know -how- to use magic powers. o.o
[13:34:30] <@BBQPidgey> so then Rabbi and I leave the people with their pool and giant-inside-space I conjured inside of a little building
[13:34:50] <@BBQPidgey> and start jumping from mountain to mountain, ending up going through some clouds and stuff
[13:35:16] <@BBQPidgey> and then the clouds are all suddenly thunderclouds
[13:35:30] <@BBQPidgey> and it's like "Crap. We'll probably get killed if we go through those."
[13:35:35] <@BBQPidgey> so then our vision changes a little
[13:35:47] <@BBQPidgey> and we get this overlay of hexes in our vision
[13:35:57] <@BBQPidgey> color-coded to indicate danger level of certain parts of the storm
[13:36:07] <@BBQPidgey> with little glowing dots to indicate "CERTAIN DEATH HERE."
[13:36:28] <@BBQPidgey> so while we're jumping mountain-to-mountain through the clouds, we make sure to avoid the death-hexes.
[13:36:56] <@BBQPidgey> and even though we started in NYC, we come down out of the rocky mountains onto the plains of colorado from the west. Still in the 1930s.
[13:37:11] <@BBQPidgey> so we're in this little frontier-y town
[13:37:20] <@BBQPidgey> and I'm alone now and like "There is nothing to do here."
[13:37:28] <@BBQPidgey> so I start levitating at high speed along a highway
[13:38:03] <@BBQPidgey> and hearing a conversation between the two sharks driving the car next to me as I'm levitating, Sherman and Megan from Sherman's Lagoon
[13:38:54] <@BBQPidgey> and the highway goes twisting through the air and stuff, and they're arguing about whether they should take the paths that drive under the crossing roads, or over the crossing roads
[13:39:16] <@BBQPidgey> and one is going 'under is shorter!' and the other is going 'over makes it easier to see where we'll have to merge on, and the traffic around there!'
[13:39:50] <@BBQPidgey> so eventually the twisty air-road ends up going into this orb-shape way high up
[13:40:00] <@BBQPidgey> and I decide 'okay, nowhere to go from here but down'
[13:40:12] <@BBQPidgey> and there's this giant stadium underneath me, all lit up and stuff
[13:40:22] <@BBQPidgey> and apparently my husband is with me now
[13:40:58] <@BBQPidgey> so we drop down from the highway into the stadium, having purple-and-yellow-and-white space armor cover us as we drop in
[13:41:12] <@BBQPidgey> to see the minnesota vikings playing, though we're in the middle of 1930s texas
[13:41:18] <@BBQPidgey> ...against the hooters girls
[13:41:32] <@BBQPidgey> and the crowd is complaining about how immoral jews are and stuff
[13:41:51] <@BBQPidgey> and I point at one of the hooters girls and am like "Do you see where the 'o's are in that logo?"
[13:42:14] <@BBQPidgey> and then this victorian-era lady who was complaining about the jews is suddenly all "Oh my!" and blushes and shuts up
[13:42:36] <@BBQPidgey> and then I look around at the two teams
[13:42:47] <@BBQPidgey> and it turns out that the team with the hooters girls isn't just hooters girls
[13:42:55] <@BBQPidgey> it's also various women from various house-cleaning services.
[13:43:13] <@BBQPidgey> and they're playing football against the minnesota vikings in 1930s texas. -nod-
[13:43:29] <@BBQPidgey> so then little brother started banging on the window because he was locked out of the house, and woke me up.

[Snow]

Ok I keep dreaming that I'm cruising along, driving my car when BAM! I get into a car crash. What does this mean? Third night in a row.

[Ruinn]

How do you remember your dreams so well? I remember my dreams, then I say them out loud and they just don't make sense anymore.

[Shellie]

Shellie is not in the business of finding meanings in dreams, just of recording her own~
Uhm... I'm really not sure how I remember them so well, I just do. I've heard people attribute remembering dreams like that to psychological disorders, but eh...


December 17, 2010 AM - sometime between about 4, initial wakeup, and 7, up for the day.
So anyways, this dream starts out. I'm at a local high school, which I know is a rich kid high school, but apparently takes all ages, because I also know I've already graduated from high school. I'm heading towards where I know my class is, second floor, right around a certain corner, where it's against a wall, with a walkway overlooking an atrium. I wander to the stairwell, knowing it's almost time for class to start. The stairwell is round, with the steps going around the outside, and a gap in the middle that looks like it should have had an elevator or something in it, but is now just a hollow space. Since I know I can fly, I go to fly up it, and realize my ability to fly isn't really working... so I just jump up the 20 feet, grab onto the ledge where the opening is, and start pulling myself up through the opening.
..and who should I run into as I'm pulling myself through that opening but one of my friends from high school, the one who shared my same initials and was basically best friends with me right up until the point she decided to tell me she (and everyone else) hated me? She's heading down, so once I finish climbing out, she steps in and drops in an awkward pose. For some reason, she has 6-inch stiletto heels on, red ones, something completely uncharacteristic of her since she was taller than most of the rest of us just barefoot anyways, so didn't wear heels.
I come out of the opening, and apparently I'm in the atrium in another wing of the building - but it's not the one I needed to come to. For one thing, this is the bottom floor of this section. So, I drop back down myself, realizing my mistake. This stairwell was 20 feet or so over from the one I needed to go up.
So, I drop back down to the first floor, and am apparently back down the hallway from where these stairwells are. I levitate as fast as I can towards where I know the proper one is now, since I levitate so much faster than I walk, and head up. Now I'm on the second floor, overlooking this hallway/atrium from the walkway along the wall a floor up. I head to the door of my classroom and there's a big group milling about outside of it, with a new teacher talking to it. It has a sign that he's the new teacher for a class that I know isn't mine, but apparently it's scheduled to be in that room at the same time as mine. Apparently, both classes are actually the same class. We go inside, and the ones signed up to be in my class all take up the back row. I'm trying to figure out why there's multiple classes in this big computer lab at once when it's supposed to be an english class, when the teacher starts asking if we've read a certain book (I can't hear the name) and starts telling us we have a test on it today.
A couple of the people in my class turn and ask me if I've read the book, holding it out (I can't tell what it is still), including the girl from high school - now back in her normal clothing style. I start to explain that no, I haven't, because I've been going to school at a local community college for the last semester and completely forgot I had classes here - I'm actually rather surprised I haven't been dropped from them here.
Teacher has us all go outside onto the balcony, then come back in before actually starting the test. It's 'yes/no' answers, but every yes and every no is qualified. Puts me on the spot to answer the first thing he asks aloud, and then the first question on the test is 'The teacher put you on the spot to answer all of the questions' ...blahblahblahblah, with the 'yes' section being what he didn't do, and the 'no' section followed by what actually happened. Turns out, I wasn't put on the spot for all of the questions - the teacher calls another girl up to answer another thing. So, I put a 'no' by the 'yes,...' answer space, and a 'yes' by the 'no...' answer space.
So, I keep working on this test, answering things I'm really not sure of because I haven't read the book, and there really is no common-sense answer to most of these. I get to a question about a pie tin, and keeping it from being incinerated, and one of the answer choices is that you surround the outside of it with macaroni noodles. Turns out, this is the question that the other girl who got called on is busy demonstrating the answer to - she's sticking macaroni noodles on the outside of the pie tin using whipped cream. Okay. I start marking down the answer to it.
Slight alteration to the scene. We're suddenly not taking a test, and it's suddenly not a computer lab anymore - and the roof is about 20 feet higher. I shrug, and decide I'm going to go ahead and levitate above people so I'm not in the middle of the crowd. I jump up, and float forward for a few seconds... and then start drifting downwards. Dammit! My levitation is not working. I drift back down to the floor, and jump to try again. I do this a few more times, and have gotten about 100 feet away from floating a few feet every time, and get to where there's some decoration hanging down from the ceiling, I guess with a walkway above part of it. I jump to where I can see above it, and there's just this gap above, and the light is hanging down from the decorations, so I grab onto a part of the decoration. (It's basically a foot-2foot thick chunk of wallstuff, rectangular, making twisty tubes that shoot out radially and up towards where the walls and ceilings meet. Painted over in purple.) I levitate just well enough still that reaching an arm there holds me in place with no effort, so I float there and watch things going on beneath me.
Anyways. Walkway leading out onto this. One of the dudes I go to shul with, his name is Rods, comes out on the walkway. (Rods has a long, reddish-brown beard, and brown hair that's fairly fluffy. The top of his head is covered in a kipa, and he's wearing a black suit-coat with a white shirt underneath, black pants and shoes, tzitzis (white 'n blue tassels, four of them) hanging down where you can see them out from under the suit-coat, because they're attached to his clothing beneath. He climbs out through the gaps in the decoration and sits back in a section where it bends back in on itself, leaving a nice nook that he fits into, and we start talking about stuff.
So, I guess Rods suddenly has something to do, because he climbs back over onto the walkway and starts heading down a hallway. I try to levitate after him, but quickly lose distance on him because of the crowd. I try to levitate a bit higher, over people's heads, but there's not enough space between some of them and the roof... so I try to levitate sideways to where the roof is higher and levitate a little higher up, but the hallway that I know he's going down is curvy, and the side of the hallway I'm levitating on, the roof suddenly drops, while the half I'd been on before, the roof raises up so there's suddenly plenty of space to levitate. The ceiling here is made of glass, so it's really quite sunny, and you can see outside on campus, besides all of the windows along the outside curve of the wall. (The inside curve, however, is peachish brick.)
I come out into this big atrium again, and look around to try and find where Rods has gone. The crowds are sparser, and I suddenly see him. He's in the middle of a big crowd of Jews, with a rabbi carrying a torah scroll. I float over towards them, and I guess I'm in appropriate garb for it because nobody looks askance at me as I land near the edge of the group. I'm in my yellow dress, with my yellow headcovering on. They're singing "Torah torah torah, zivu lanu moshe~ boraschat kehilat ya'akov" or something along those lines; that's as close as I can remember what the syllables sound like when they sing it. Something about the Torah given to Moses, and celebrating like Jacob. We're doing the thing where we touch the scroll, then kiss what we touched it with as a gesture of respect, always facing towards it, reaching an arm out as if to say "I see it!"
After a little bit, this crowd disperses. I'm guessing this was a mid-day torah service for a weekday, and we're done with it, but now I can't find Rods, so I go flying off.
...I now end up in another atrium, where I guess they're training students to fight space invaders or something. At the very least, training us to fly missions out in space - however, we're always guarded when we go up there. There's a big group of smaller ships with less weaponry that are to serve as our guards, so we don't necessarily have to fight. I'm apparently part of the group they're getting ready to train for the missions 'n stuff, I guess because we're vitally important to the future of mankind or something.
I'm thinking to myself, well, it's a good thing I can simply teleport. Maybe they won't need to send the guards with me. Turns out, they don't know this, so they bundle me up into my ship and get ready to launch it off, guards all around it. I shrug, and teleport myself and my ship to the upper reaches of the atmosphere, which is about as far as I can teleport without really using any energy, and then fire the rockets just enough to make me move outwards. I guess I'm supposed to be flying to the moon or something, because they've told me the sun is too far. The guards are still back down on earth, because they totally weren't expecting teleportation. (At this point, I come to realize I'm the only one who can do it.) View changes, so now it's like on a little computer game, where you can see the orbits of everything and it's all really close together, and the earth and moon are just little circles. So, I nudge myself in the direction of the moon, and I guess miss, and land on something else that looks like the moon. It's really freaking hot, and suddenly the sun is looming over the little circle. I just freaking landed on mercury. Well, crap. I take off again, trying to fly back to where earth is, to the little orbit-track it's on (all of the orbit-tracks are rectangles with rounded edges, for some reason), and instead of the earth there's a smaller second sun there. Well, crap. Guess the planet burned up in the 30 seconds I was absent.
---
So, I'm on Earth again, which I guess hasn't burned up. I try and figure out what the hell that little sun was on the Earth orbit, and go flying up again. Same sort of viewpoint, and I watch orbits go. I think maybe this little sun was a second sun, on the exact opposite side of the sun from the earth... except the planets are all moving faster in their orbits than this little sun is. Earth crashes into it. Dammit. Then everything crashes into the sun, because narrow rounded-edge rectangles don't do particularly well at keeping you from running into a large round object if you're going around it as close as possible.
Okay. I guess that wasn't how it all worked.
---
So, now I'm no longer in space. Now, instead, I'm in what looks like the sanctuary of the church I grew up in, with slightly raised platforms at the front end, two triangular roof-sections coming down to meet at their lowest point above the middle of the platforms, two columns of pew benches going to the back of the room, except instead of being surrounded by the people who were always there, I'm surrounded by a whole bunch of Jewish people. It's apparently shabbat, and the rabbi is doing a teaching, and I'm smoothing out cracks on a little clay doll that hasn't been fired yet. I smooth for a little bit, then realize it's shabbat - and working on the little doll totally counts as creative work, and thus isn't something I'm supposed to be doing that day. I set down the doll on the pew behind me. Near the end of this, thanks is given for food, and references are made to the red soil and red skies of mars. We then head out of the building and into a big common area, where I mention being new and ask what sorts of things we have here. Apparently, the wheat that grows looks to be red, and plum trees are apparently a main source of fruit because the fruit is kind of reddish - really, just about everything growing is predominantly red, so that when the sky clears of dust nobody on other worlds can really tell that there's life and people here. Every family has one cow and one goat for meat and dairy and the like, and shares male and female with at least one other family to make sure both families can have milk, and the animals can be bred and not go extinct here. However, there really isn't entirely enough food - too many live on mars now for it to sustain them and the animals, and some families are starting to go hungry.
Then I'm back on Earth, kind of falling from the sky. I see a scene play out from my school again, where apparently they're trying to figure out what went wrong, and someone tells Clark Kent to go to a certain city. He's almost at this city, and is flying over a long section of water, and I land on him, shoving us both down into the water. This seriously slows him down, and he grumbles a little about how swimming super-fast isn't part of his powers... the water is too deep for him to run, and he's too deep in it to start flying. I kind of float forward, towards the shore, as he swims, up until the point where it gets to where his feet touch and he can run - but since he's in water, it slows him down considerably, and he can barely run fast enough to part the water around him. (This leaves a momentary channel for me to levitate quickly through.)
We then go flying above the city, looking around for whoever he was supposed to meet here. The city is full of statues, though there are one or two people actually moving around. He starts flying towards a person, thinking he's seeing who he was supposed to meet. I suddenly realize IT'S A TRAP and start to shout it to him...
...and then I woke up.

New necropost. I'd have posted this a long time ago, but I got distracted partway through my retell and never finished writing it down, so I forgot what came afterwards. :<

1/26/11 AM - A Trip to HoboDonald's

Meatlocker would ramble about the dream she had, but doesn't remember nearly as much detail as usual. ):
FreezerBurn: a dream?
Meatlocker: mhm
hiyamate: ramble anyway]
Meatlocker: Okay, so the start of the part I remember in this dream...
Meatlocker: There's a group of us out in a jungle, and something happens, and one of our group members (Mutsumi Otohime from the anime Love Hina. Specifically the anime one.) goes walking off. View from the dream
Meatlocker: is following her.
Meatlocker: She's walking along what, for her, is a clear path, and eventually comes up to this mansion in the middle of the jungle.
Meatlocker: At this point, I find out robots are fairly commonplace in this world, but that some obscure mad scientist in the jungle has developed a way to power and move them without any joints or anything
Meatlocker: So she's coming up to this building, and this hovering robot (greyish metal, similar to... uhm...)
Meatlocker hunts for picture
Meatlocker: similar to [link] http:// www.ccboe.net/ece/ 1stGrade/images/ 9DD871E6C54043C6B65F 5FFF4E32EA38.jpg
Meatlocker: except the arms are also just levitating off to the side, as they aren't attached to it, and it's shiny grey metal.
Meatlocker: The robot explains how only this one scientist has developed blahblahblah capabilities for robots, and she keeps walking through the zone
Meatlocker: ends up going through a courtyard in the middle of the mansion, and various robots are coming out of doors on outside walkways at various levels of the place. (Reminds me of my old dorms, but fancier)
Meatlocker: She runs into the scientist, cackling as he goes on about how with this technology he can conquer the world.
Meatlocker: ...so now I'm apparently in my own dream, and have been watching Mutsumi wander through the jungle and through this place, and overhear the scientist begin to reveal his evil schemes...
Meatlocker: and I can also apparently fly and split myself into thousands of people that move faster than the normal eye can see.
Meatlocker: (the splitting would be similar to the Shadow Clone jutsu out of Naruto... except when I split, each split retains the entirety of the powers of the original, it seems.)
Meatlocker: So. The scientist is busy cackling and going on about how he has books filled with information that nobody else in the world has access to. Me and my clones sort of go running through the place as it
Meatlocker: explodes in various parts, and come over the last set of walls around the courtyard and down to where the mad scientist and Mutsumi are. I start commenting about how the books are all gone, and got
Meatlocker: caught in the explosions, so only I know what was in them now, because between me and my clones, we have perfect photographic memory of everything we ever see - and that it's my dream world anyways,
Meatlocker: so I know exactly what's in every book.
Meatlocker: Scientist starts screaming "Nooooooo!", and then apparently I'm late for school. I'm at my house, and know that I need to be heading there -now- if I don't want to be late, but for some reason am not
Meatlocker: doing so.
Meatlocker thinks
Meatlocker: Ah. Yes. I'm in high school again, so that's off to the south and the west a little ways... so we get in the car to head towards school, and are suddenly at the far north end of town coming in on the
FreezerBurn: AR Cider
Meatlocker: interstate. My oldest sister is in the car with me, mom is driving, dad is in the passenger's seat. It's the minivan they drive around currently, with dad's power wheelchair mounted to the back.
Meatlocker: Oldest sister goes to the school with me. We're on an on/off ramp for the interstate, and oldest sister points out that a faster way to get there would be to go into this other lane which exits off
Meatlocker: in another direction, so mom lanechanges and we go off this exit, mom going "Oh! Yeah. This is the way to the school.", and going down a fairly long ramp.
Meatlocker: This takes us into an unfamiliar part of town, and there's this big brick building off to the left with no windows, and it basically surrounds a giant parking lot. It has a sign with the McDonald's
Meatlocker: logo above it, but apparently the name of the place is HoboDonald's, and it's just a place to keep hobos.
Meatlocker: I don't know why, but we drive past and turn into the really big parking lot that the building surrounds, and there are hobos camped all over in the area. There's also a group of decently-dressed -hic-
Meatlocker: HS students, and in my dream I recognize them as people from school, and one of them as a classmate.
Meatlocker: They're standing around arguing with each other, and the 'classmate', a guy I know as Wiensy (last name Wiens, that was his nickname where I knew him at college)
Meatlocker: climbs into our car, talking about how we're the only people he can rely on, because we have insurance.

Ends here, because I got distracted in my retell by questions.

NECROPOSTING TIME SIRS

9/27/2011 - to MMOLegos

[13:24:51] <+BBQPidgey> so, like, I had this dream last night where I'd somehow ended up entirely in a minecraft world
[13:25:48] <+BBQPidgey> had some time back established a tiny unlabeled second base for myself, in basically what was a pre-existing wooden house of the variety that you'd see the doors boarded up over, and with the walls coming apart so you could see through them
[13:27:13] <+BBQPidgey> to get to it I had to head... some direction, I -think- it was north... for a long, long time, then when I came to three old ruins, the entrances of which were giant arches in a cliffside, had to go in the rightmost one, and it was out in a courtyard in the middle of the ruin
[13:28:24] <+BBQPidgey> something I had done had pissed all y'all off, but we didn't have a way to tele straight to each other (I guess because I actually lived in the game now or something), so you guys knew the general direction of where I'd run off to and were gonna try and kill me off :<
[13:28:55] <Dagonet> >.<
[13:29:02] <Dagonet> BAD DREAM
[13:29:03] <Dagonet> Bad
[13:29:09] <Dagonet> sit in the corner dream... SIT
[13:29:20] <+BBQPidgey> so I was hiding out in the old crapshack, where I'd apparently stored a few changes of clothes and stuff some time before, and my little siblings showed up 'cos I'd told them about it
[13:29:22] <+BBQPidgey> also Splurge
[13:29:29] <+BBQPidgey> and apparently Splurge and I got married...?
[13:29:43] <Dagonet> LOL
[13:29:53] <~Dizzario> who said thats a dream
[13:29:56] <Dagonet> Lesbian Marriage in minecraft aye
[13:29:57] * ~Dizzario hides his murdering plans
[13:30:12] <+BBQPidgey> the place had a little couch and a tv tray and a tv that didn't work, and behind another wall had a broken-down kitchen thing
[13:30:14] <~Dizzario> shes on to us CraftIRCBot
[13:30:25] <+BBQPidgey> but you could see through the walls to the outside 'cos they had a bunch of holes in them
[13:30:47] <+BBQPidgey> and after a while it was 'crap, the monsters will be able to see us, and these walls are flimsy, even without endermen they might break'
[13:31:03] <Dagonet> My chicken farm works pretty okay. I need to expand to a wheat / melon farm next
[13:31:12] <+BBQPidgey> the wall in the middle of the house contained a staircase up to a second story that was completely dark and not actually closed off
[13:31:28] <+BBQPidgey> so it was 'okay, we're gonna need to put torches all over OSHIT SPIDER'
[13:32:03] <+BBQPidgey> so we fought off the spider that was upstairs, and started putting torches along all the walls... apparently burned the second story while we were at it
[13:32:30] <+BBQPidgey> but once the torches were up, some of the monsters outside were managing to break one of the super-thin sections of the wall
[13:32:47] <+BBQPidgey> since these ones were only, like, a pixel thick, as opposed to a meter thick like everything else in that world.
[13:33:22] <+BBQPidgey> after fighting off a few getting into the house, we figured out a way to clear the entire courtyard the crapshack was in
[13:33:28] <+BBQPidgey> looted all the bones and feathers and arrows
[13:33:40] <+BBQPidgey> and were 'okay, this place really isn't safe for us'
[13:33:56] <+BBQPidgey> started heading south or whatever it was, back out of the ruins
[13:34:09] <+BBQPidgey> once we get out of the ruins, it's just sea
[13:34:41] <+BBQPidgey> oh! by this point, boyfriend shows up, but he's married to this huge-*** gorilla in a tutu
[13:34:59] <+BBQPidgey> anyways, we hope that our boat is out there, 'cos it's dark enough we can't see it
[13:35:15] <+BBQPidgey> move to around the set of blocks we think it should be on, jump, and land on... something. We assume it's the boat.
[13:35:33] <+BBQPidgey> take off, start heading across the sea, which goes between all the stuff all y'all have been building
[13:36:04] <+BBQPidgey> seeing sillhouettes of, like... castles and arches and bridges and cities off to the sides, up on the hills
[13:36:46] <+BBQPidgey> get the boat going as fast as we can get it, because we're trying to get -past- all these places to settle a new place again
[13:37:12] <+BBQPidgey> after a while there are those little wooden arch-bridges all over the place
[13:37:17] <+BBQPidgey> but mostly underwater
[13:37:31] <+BBQPidgey> with their parallel handrails sticking up above the water in a bunch of spots
[13:37:36] <+BBQPidgey> like an area got flooded out
[13:38:08] <+BBQPidgey> so we're having to try and make a path along these, which are everywhere, and end up bumping into walls between them
[13:38:31] <+BBQPidgey> eventually get to a spot where we have to duck ourselves and the boat slightly underwater to pass one that's just -barely- above the surface
[13:38:40] <+BBQPidgey> then a shark starts chasing us
[13:39:49] <+BBQPidgey> we get to a section where someone has built something across the water, between some islands, so the part of the sea we can actually get to is narrowed to a pathway through this building sticking up, where part of it goes underwater and has... a dock, I guess
[13:40:24] <+BBQPidgey> a couple of people are on top of a giant guitar case with some giant luggage angled up against it on the side
[13:40:47] <+BBQPidgey> with a charm with two eagle-feathers, also as big as we are, laying across one of the luggages
[13:41:02] <+BBQPidgey> (this stuff's all floating)
[13:41:18] <+BBQPidgey> they see the shark and are all 'quick, guys, up here!' because the shark is trying to eat us and our boat all at once
[13:41:35] <+BBQPidgey> so we catch on to the giant luggage and start climbing up
[13:41:41] <+BBQPidgey> and pull our boat up with us
[13:41:47] <+BBQPidgey> turns out it's another giant suitcase
[13:42:38] <+BBQPidgey> pretty quickly after we're all up, a gate opens in a wall and the new current pulls all of us on the giant floating guitar case inside
[13:43:23] <+BBQPidgey> (OH! Uhm! The giant gorilla never fit on our boat - she just swam after us the whole way)
[13:43:48] <+BBQPidgey> and it's a small docking area at the bottom of some staircases with doors at each of the landings
[13:44:23] <+BBQPidgey> and we get told this is a hotel or something, and that nobody ever takes the left room on the first landing because of the funny way the shower is shaped
[13:45:41] <+BBQPidgey> so we're all like 'alrighty then', and head in there. Boyfriend and the gorilla in a tutu that he's apparently married to head on in to the shower area, because we all totally need to clean off after that I guess...
[13:45:44] <+BBQPidgey> and then I woke up. o3o

[Espeonage]

Interesting dreams. :p

[MisterCoolPants]

i have random dreams. :( one time chuck norris ate me in my dream

[Shellie]

Necroposting again, because this is what my dreams let me do.
Sukkot 5772 - Making fun of geography

So, I'm starting to dream. I'm really, really excited because I'm about to go see a movie, and a friend is driving me to the theater. We get there, and I get out of the car, then I realize I have no idea what movie it is I'm here to see. I look inside, and don't see anything that sparks memory, then I check my wallet and realize that I don't have a wallet or money with me at all. I turn back to where I got dropped off to go ask my ride what exactly it was I was here to see, and if I can get what it'll cost to go in... but they already drove off. I look around at the buildings connected to it - closest one is labeled 'Body Art' and it looks like they do both cars -and- people in it - but nothing is really familiar, so I decide I should try and head home.

I head to the nearest streetcorner to find the address of where I am (all of our streetsigns are numbered according to where they are relative to the center of the city - so even if you don't know the names of streets, if you know the address you want to go to it's easy to figure out how far from it you are and which way you need to go) and go ahead and float up, the way I do when I'm about to fly someplace. I look around over the tops of the closest buildings (all only a story or two - I never fly very high, because my flight ability likes to crap out at random, and much higher will get me killed) and see not too far away the state capitol building, distinctive with its massive gold-plated dome.

Now that I have my bearings, I start flying down the street in the direction I need to go to get home. I look around at the buildings and intersections I'm flying past, and notice that almost every single one of them is completely and totally unfamiliar, but the numbers on the street signs are going the right way to tell me I'm still headed towards my house. After a little bit, though, the streets start curving and the intersections get further apart. I follow the curve, because the curve is still headed the right way to get home (was going south, it curved right, so now I'm going west I assume) and I should eventually hit another street headed south if I get too far west, right?

Wrong. Street ends, and I'm at these docks at the edge of a massive lake. There are a couple of hills off on the other side of it, and some boats going around. A bit confused, I float up higher and look around - maybe I was headed the wrong way, but there certainly has never been a lake with docks and boats in my city before. I fall to the old standby of "mountains mean west", to try and figure out where I am. Problem. There are no mountains.

I float back down, to where I'd be just out of reach for a really tall person, and see a couple of hobos walking. I figure they probably know their way around the city, and will tell me if I'm just really in the wrong place - after all, they have to walk everywhere, so they know their streets pretty well. The first thing I say is to indicate how confused I am because there aren't any mountains. Their response?

"Aw, shucks. There ain't never been mountains in Coloradah. Ever'un knows they's in eastern Nebraska."

I'm a bit confused by this point, and wonder if they're just messing with me or something. They tell me they live off on the other side of the lake, with the entrance in the hills I can just barely make out, so I go ahead and lift them up with me and fly across the lake with them. Now that the hills are fairly close, I look around at them - I see two mineshafts built into the sides facing me, and the top of the middle hill is covered with white rocks topped with a huge missile turret. The hobos tell me that no, those aren't where they live, those are entrances to a military base, so I set them down and fly around to try and see if I can find the entrance to their place. I look back, and the hobos are gone, so I go ahead and circle to the other side of the hills. Nearly flat land, covered in the greenest grass I've ever seen (on par with what I saw that one time I was being driven through south carolina when my ex decided he wanted to go to the beach, and me having only been to a beach once before was a PERFECT excuse to drive six hours each way right after he'd broken up with me) looking like waves across the surface of the ocean. I guess the hobos must have been telling the truth, and that there really haven't ever been mountains in this version of existence, when...

...I get lasso'd and pulled down, then brought into the military base. They command me to take my clothes off because they need to do some tests - after all, they just found a person FLYING outside their base and need to figure out how it's done - and I spazz because they're going to try and make weapons out of me - who wouldn't want their military to be able to fly without thought faster than a person can run?

----

At this point, the scene changed entirely, and I went off on another dream. I wasn't going to get myself stuck in THAT universe, after all. I think the rest of the night I lived in a world that was a combination of the games DOOM and Minecraft.

Been a while since I've gotten one written down - only one or two being at all distinct still - but here's the one I had last night.

22/03/2012 - Purple military is after me? Escape via the Stargate!

[14:15:50] <Shellie[Away]> so in my dream last night
[14:15:57] <Shellie[Away]> I had the military tracking me down the whole time
[14:16:13] <Shellie[Away]> because apparently I was supposed to be some sort of superweapon or something because I had superpowers
[14:16:55] <Shellie[Away]> which they realized when a couple of them happened to come into the room while I was climbing up the wall of my elementary school gym to get something that had gotten caught on top of the clock after class
[14:18:36] <Shellie[Away]> heard a shout of 'GET HER!' as I dropped the 25 or so feet from the clock back to the floor with my prize, and radio transmission of block all the doors etc. so she can't get out
[14:18:57] <Shellie[Away]> buncha cops and army starting to show up, going through all of the halls and whatnot
[14:19:23] <Shellie[Away]> so I ended up moving around by going through the walls instead - which were, unfortunately, not thick enough for me to vanish into.
[14:20:04] <Shellie[Away]> at least some section of me would always stick out as I was going through, so I tried to make sure that the part of me showing was always in a room they hadn't gotten to yet
[14:20:46] <Shellie[Away]> got a call from one of my friends that 'hey, the lady at this restaurant needs you to go deliver something'
[14:21:10] <Shellie[Away]> so I got there, and picked up the package, and it was to go to an address I didn't recognize, so she gave me some vague directions
[14:21:48] <Shellie[Away]> somewhere along the line, I started hearing a buncha military transmissions again about needing to get me, and how it would save millions of casualties in whatever war it was they were fighting
[14:22:50] <Shellie[Away]> so after a bit, they have these bright purple vehicles holding a military checkpoint on the highway I'm going along into the part of town I need to deliver this to, and the military vehicles are starting to come up on me from behind too, to trap me in.
[14:23:24] <Shellie[Away]> I abruptly turn my vehicle and drop ~50 feet into a lake to drive through that instead, because my vehicle is awesome like that
[14:23:44] <Shellie[Away]> start hearing transmissions about how there's only one place I'd be able to come to the surface and drive out, so they're blocking it there
[14:24:35] <Shellie[Away]> I guess I suck the car and contents back into my body and start swimming along, and after a bit I get to a section with a buncha civilians swimming, which connects up a few terraces to some neat swimming pools
[14:25:15] <Shellie[Away]> after a bit one of them generates a large wave that if you catch just right will lift you to the final terrace - a fair ways away from where the military was waiting for me to drive my car out
[14:26:04] <Shellie[Away]> so from there I get to the side of another highway, and I guess start driving along for a bit since I'm also my car now
[14:26:38] <Shellie[Away]> start hearing military transmissions again about thinking I'm along blahblahblah highway, so I hop off the side into the trees and run for a bit
[14:26:58] <Shellie[Away]> until I see a few buildings - one of them is home to 'last of the quakers' or something like that. Religious dude's house.
[14:27:37] <Shellie[Away]> He lets me in, I go hide in the back section of his round single-roomed building, behind various stuff, listening out the canvas walls for things going on outside.
[14:28:37] <Shellie[Away]> Hear footsteps and talking coming up, and it's my rabbi and Hezekiah discussing torah as they come and knock on the guy's door - I guess they come to this guy's place and they all do bible studies and whatnot
[14:31:20] <Shellie[Away]> so we're all kind of startled to see each other, and they get started on their study
[14:31:54] <Shellie[Away]> after a little bit I start hearing the military transmissions again, about how they've narrowed my location down to this particular area
[14:32:58] <Shellie[Away]> sound of footsteps coming up to the front, in military-drill precision, 'ok guys gotta go', and I lift a section of the very back and duck out under the canvas, back into the trees
[14:33:58] <Shellie[Away]> I run for a bit, and run into a military dude who's all "FOUND HER." and pokes a needle into me, and stuff kinda goes blurry and fades.
[14:37:11] <Shellie[Away]> When I come to, I've got my arms completely bound up so I can't use them, and a collar around my neck on a chain attached to a ring in a tile floor - I'm inside of what looks like another school building, with military officers in dark blue and purple uniforms running around, and a bunch of kids being sheperded around in groups of 20 or so, I guess to classes run by the military
[14:41:56] <Shellie[Away]> My chain is just long enough that I can walk into the nearest doorway, where a bunch of kids are taking seats. Two military officers are just in the next room, and are the ones supposed to supervise this bunch - a high-ranking guy I can't really see, and a low-ranked female, arguing about the practicality of hunting down people like me to use as weapons. A video starts playing in the classroom, starting to drown out the sound of the two, some combination of history and current events.
[14:45:23] <Shellie[Away]> it focuses in on africa, and the female officer comes stalking in in a huff - she's apparently really angry at how the argument turned out.
[14:45:46] <Shellie[Away]> really deep blue uniform, fairly thin, brown hair drawn back in a ponytail, no hat, since apparently female officers in this place don't get hats
[14:46:22] <Shellie[Away]> a couple of medals I can't identify pinned above her left breast
[14:48:20] <Shellie[Away]> video focuses in on uganda
[14:49:05] <Shellie[Away]> talking about how there are 5 million folk there, but only 1 million are good white folk and they're all busy patrolling the streets, and we need more good white folk there to give them some relief
[14:50:06] <Shellie[Away]> focuses in on something else that also doesn't at all match the geography or history I know, and since I know this particular officer was upset about me getting captured to use as a weapon, I start making a few comments
[14:51:01] <Shellie[Away]> about how it seems to me that any place Europe went and colonized tends to end up in chaos when it's not under strict control anymore - so really, white people lead to chaos - to see what sorts of reactions I get out of her
[14:51:44] <Shellie[Away]> apparently anyone not anglo is categorized as 'black' here, and if you speak a native language other than english you're also black
[14:51:51] <Shellie[Away]> so hispanics are black too
[14:52:57] <Shellie[Away]> and I'm all 'oh... where I come from, they're a completely different classification, because a lot of them are predominantly white - a lot of their base heritage is european, after all', and she just looks at me like 'wtf are you talking about?'
[14:53:15] <Shellie[Away]> video starts talking about some war or another also going on
[14:53:49] <Shellie[Away]> and apparently it's still what they call 'world war II', so I ask if she's ever heard of something called a 'nuke'
[14:53:58] <Shellie[Away]> she hasn't, so asks what it is
[14:55:51] <Shellie[Away]> 'well, it's a big explosive device - small ones can take out major metropolitan areas. I'm obviously from a different timeline than this, and they ended up having a major impact during our world war II and after that - took out some cities called hiroshima and nagasaki, with all the civilians, made it so plants couldn't grow for a long time, and poisoned the survivors in the area for decades afterwards...'
[14:57:07] <Shellie[Away]> she looks appalled at this point, and the collar around my neck snaps as the video is finishing up
[14:58:08] <Shellie[Away]> I fade into the wall, leaving the rope behind, and start sort of flying along through the walls - again, not thick enough to hide me completely - going from section to section, making sure the parts of me sticking out are sticking into rooms where nobody's paying attention
[14:59:46] <Shellie[Away]> I fly past what looks like a guys locker room, and another thing that looks like a place of worship for some religion I don't recognize, with guys dressed similar to east-asian monks
[15:00:21] <Shellie[Away]> finally hit a wall connected with the outside, and go flying out and up. I'm not entirely sure where this facility is, but I guess manage to fly to Egypt
[15:00:54] <Shellie[Away]> hearing another military transmission about how I'm moving at high speed off of the continent and get an impression of a blip on a computer map showing where I am
[15:01:44] <Shellie[Away]> watch myself fly across the ocean and to africa, ending up above what looks like the archaeological dig from the Stargate movie where they dug it up
[15:02:10] <Shellie[Away]> dive down to a section where they hadn't dug in this timeline, pull up the stargate there
[15:02:55] <Shellie[Away]> sort of hear a 'what the hell are you doing?' and look over to see what looks like general hammond from the SG-1 series
[15:03:11] <Shellie[Away]> followed by the ONeil guy and Dr. Daniel Jackson
[15:04:03] <Shellie[Away]> I address them by these names, and apparently the ranks are off a bit, but the names are accurate for them in this timeline, and Jackson still researches about the same stuff...
[15:06:37] <Shellie[Away]> so I tell them this thing is called a 'stargate', and in a timeline I'm familiar with, they work in an organization that uses this thing to explore the universe, called the SGC, and two of them are from the forefront team using these, called SG-1, but that they're missing their other two - a Samantha Carter and an alien named Teal'c who joined the team on another world...
[15:07:03] <Shellie[Away]> so then I activate it and we go through, and on the way out I hear another transmission of they lost my signal before it fades out
[15:07:30] <Shellie[Away]> and now we're on Abbidos and they start calling me Samantha since I never gave them a name, and I guess I'm blonde now...
[15:08:27] <Shellie[Away]> and then I'm flying around above the surface of that world, where I guess I'm free now, and a sandstorm comes and darkens the sky, so I land back inside the compound...
[15:08:29] <Shellie[Away]> and then I woke up
[15:10:33] <Shellie[Away]> oh, the earthy areas I was flying around above were mountainy and covered in lots of evergreen trees~ the areas on abbidos, desert-y, but near the horizon fading into green and mountains covered partway up with trees, and little rivers in that area that all stopped at the edge of the desert -nod-

HERE COMES ANOTHER DREAM GUYS. BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE POSTED ONE.

NOV 7 2012 - Sliding
(Originally posted as part of a conversation on Crysandrea)
My most recent ones (from last night) involved a lot of alternate-universe hopping. The very start of the storyline is kinda blurry still, but there was a war going on, and I was in my particular tent, going to rest for the night while we weren't actually fighting. Someone came in, moving up the inside curtain that was between the entrance itself and my area, and I think I was talking to one of my sisters as I was getting out my bedding to sleep on in my otherwise empty tent. Another lady came in to start talking too, and then there was a loud "ROOOOOOAAAAR" noise - kind of like a kid imitating a monster, but loud enough that it shook everything, and sounds of tons of explosions outside like a battle was starting up.



Well, it was time for bed, and my awareness spread just far enough to know that if we stayed there, we'd probably manage to get killed. My sister vanished, so I took the arm of the other lady and took a step, and we were outside. Another step, an outside that was calm. Looked around and saw another tent identical to mine in the near-darkness, and went to the entrance to open it up. The curtain was a different colour now - a deep purple - so I assumed it was my tent in this alternate and stepped inside. There were two people inside - one seriously ill and wrapped in all of my bedding to sleep, and another who looked somewhat startled to see me - apparently I'd disappeared some time back, so they were moving people into my tent to recover when they got sick, since it was a free space and just about the only one that had only housed one person.



I knew I was capable of jumping worlds, as well as latching on to a specific person to jump back. We couldn't take the bedding from either the sick one or their caretaker, and me and the lady had only managed to bring one bedsheet between us... and it was really freaking cold, so neither of us were going to do well that night even if we spent it sharing body heat, so I said I'd be back in a moment and stepped something like 10 variants out (dream specified this) to try and go back to my previous tent and get my bedding from there.



I didn't end up in the same tent, but instead in another that was just slightly different, but still obviously mine. There were three guys living there this time - all very shocked to see someone in my particular uniform, as I had the emblem of a healer across my left breast, and exclaiming about how all the healers had been killed off years ago. I was stunned, as this was not at all close to the reality I'd been trying to hop to outside of this being still my same tent in the same location, with very nearly the same bedding still stashed there. Took a couple of minutes of discussion before they concluded I didn't actually belong there, and had either gotten really severely lost for YEARS or was from a different reality, but that the stuff in the tent was certainly mine. They handed me the extra bedding since it was more than they were going to need between the three of them, and I stepped to jump back to the lady I'd been with. It didn't quite work - instead, I ended up at yet another iteration of my tent, this time just with a thicker, more velvety curtain, in this same war being fought, and two people there - and only enough bedding for one. I wasn't quite who they expected - they were waiting on a slightly different version of myself who had just done the same thing, hopping universes to get some blankets and stuff for them, and they could readily tell the difference, then commented on how difficult it must be to ever end up back in the same place you started in when doing that, as this wasn't the first time a different me had come back to them.



Realizing I had a bunch of alternates worldhopping, I came to the conclusion that one of them would be able to get back to the lady I was trying to get to, or probably had already landed there, so I went ahead and handed out the bedding there.



A flash of awareness crossed my vision - one of the close variant realities where this war was being fought was ceasing to exist. A huge, dark being with glowing eyes was eating the reality itself, and it clicked for me that this was both why there was a war going on in all of these places - the one being eaten was fighting the being, and all the nearby ones were shifting into a war-state reflecting that - and the reason I couldn't get back to my first tent was because that was the very reality being consumed.



I yawned - I was very tired, and it was, after all, time to sleep... I blinked, and shifted again, this time into a world where it was day, rather than night, and instead of being out in a dark forest, I was on a light, airy, open pavilion made of very light materials, glass arching walls reaching up high enough I couldn't see the top, light coming from everywhere, surrounded by beings that also seemed to be made somewhat of light, which gave me the distinct impression of ponies, all facing towards a larger one and bowing down.



Awareness spread, information again flooded in - they were, indeed, ponies. The area was called 'Equestria', as the one ruled by Celestia and Luna - but here, neither of them had ever existed. This was a far different princess, but who still controlled day and night - but it was always day, and all feared to acknowledge the side of her that created night, for speaking of it would bring the wrath of the princess down upon them - not a very clearly known wrath, but always something most terrible... and that even seeking information as my very existence had done was enough to bring her wrath down should she realize.



...at this point, I kinda slid into wakefulness, and didn't manage to fall back into the dream... but that's okay, because it was well past noon already anyways. -nod-

YEARS LATER UPDATE: So apparently constant super-vivid dreams like that (and ones where you dream you're waking up to do the thing but don't actually wake up) are signs of really serious sleep deprivation. In my case it turns out I had some pretty serious injuries (that are finally getting treated) and my body's response to 'ow' is just to try and sleep it off, but I guess I was in too much pain to actually, well, rest.

Since these aren't a constant anymore I don't usually get them written down, but that might start happening again now that I'm connected back into chat/forum.

[Raazi]

I hope you're doing better.

I've been doing that for the past couple of weeks, and haven't been focused at work either. I thought I was just being lazy or there was a lack of motivation. But it might be sleep deprivation.

Am improving, for sure. Had some stuff that got significantly worse in that interim, but it's getting better now.

'being lazy' doesn't really exist, that's just a catchall 'this person is morally wrong for not accomplishing Things™ and it is entirely their fault' phrase. Same with claims of 'being unmotivated'. There's always an underlying reason why you'd be not accomplishing stuff - anxiety, not actually knowing how to do the thing, fatigue, illness, executive dysfunction... 'you just need to push through it' is not an actual, viable solution if that other stuff doesn't get addressed.
