Home, Sweet Airduct System

Dreamed on 2014.04.19.0712 I'm a kid in a game show kinda thing. We've done a hockey like event where I had some cool moves, and it ends, and we start arguing about which team is better (there were like 10 teams involved). Eventually the judges say okay, for this next one, whichever team was first gets a special challenge. So who wants to have been first? We go in, and it turns out that the more people from our four person team we cover in worms/earwigs/little bitey things, the more of a benefit we get. We need to survive and make it to the other side of the gym. A bunch of nonsense fighting happens (including hiding in a giant telescope), and then I manage to escape from the other side of the gym, alone, into a post apocalyptic world in which all that matters is escaping the cannibals. Also, paper is the most important thing ever. Scientists want to catch kids to experiment on them, taxis try to trick you into taking a ride (and not coming back), and gathering pieces of

"...portals into that dark blue abyss."

Dreamed on 2014.04.03.0636 in a large pirates of the caribbean era boat with immediate family and some cousins/aunts/uncles. Pat wants to go swimming (she means scuba diving), and as soon as she says so the entire boat starts to flip over. It gets to be completely on its side before I throw myself on the opposite wall and flip it back upright. There are large large windows of glass here that, when the boat is leaning, show us portals into that dark blue abyss.

A Sisyphean Dreamlife

Dreamed on 2014.04.17.0755 The man was stuck in a loop, and someone had figured that out and committed a crime. It took me a while to realize he was stuck in a loop, since that's not the kind of thing that happens usually. A big loop, like, a Groundhog's Day loop, except time still passes for everyone else while he does the exact same thing everyday. The kitchen table was covered in dust except for the spot where he always sat each morning and night for his food. The carpet, even, had a path worn from the same tired footfalls he placed in the same spots each day. Lucky going shopping was in his daily routine (followed by a burger for lunch at the diner next door), or lack of food may have brought him down. The newspaper he read each morning was tissue paper thin now, and started to shred, but I could still read the date from ten years ago on the paper. Subsequent research told me that this had been the day the old man's wife had been murdered by an intruder in the hou

A new and awkward sport

Dreamed on 2014.04.02.0637 white water kayaking but playing frisbee at the same time. i'm swimming and diving upstream past family members

Worst Makeover Ever

Dreamed on 2014.04.15.0620 burned most of my beard off while setting up a mirror (that was gifted to me) on top of a mantle (there was a candle on the mantle). left with just half a mustache and patches of awkward hair.

"'Til at last all around us was fastness / One vast glassy desert of arsenic white"

Dreamed on 2014.04.15.0620 Ian and I struggling to walk from the outpost at the very north pole to iceland over great ice sheets, etc. BEAUTiful landscapes. Rather dangerous and hard to navigate with just a map and a compass though. We almost turn back after one of the nights a large group of us spend at the old remains of an old burnt out hotel because the wind is so strong that nobody can think. Literally, no one could think. There was this one guy just standing with a blank look on his face and staring while leaning into the wind, and I was like, "Hey! Hey man!" and he didn't respond. When I went around the corner I saw Ian huddling there all depressed at what was happening, but we talked and decided we could do the journey together just the two of us. It was something of a competition, so we left the others behind. When we made it back to an outpost we checked everyone's progress via map and saw that someone had gone several hundred miles across open ocean f

Those ecologists have it all, don't they?

Dreamed on 2014.04.13.0723 talking to friends about how I've never been to the roof of the ecology building on campus with its swimming pool, amphitheatre, cafe, tennis, etc before. Lucky ecologists.

Sole Witness to the Awesome

Dreamed on 2013.07.08.0708 Sleeping with a group of people (4-5 of us) in the top floor of a beach resort cabin thing on top of a sandy hill next to the ocean. I get up early to go for a swim and play in the sand and it's awesome. I come back and sleep more, then get up again, but it's stormy-ish outside and the water is rising. This happens several times, and eventually I notice that water is high enough that it washed one of the blankets off the bed from downstairs and is carrying it out through the sand maze tunnels and things towards the sea. I grab it and brace myself against one of the columns and rescue it easily enough (this is not a scary/panicky dream, it's surreal and fun) and I watch the way the water flows over the sand and hills and terrain and it's awesome. Eventually I wake Rachel and people up to tell them, and though the water has gone down a bit, they see evidence of it. They don't think it's as awesome as I thought it was, but oh well

Post Apoc Hood's Gang

Dreamed on 2013.08.19.1010 Set in the future, high tech civilization and uber government surveillance dystopia. waiting on top of a platform near a high speed rail with my car parked in an alleyway beneath. The governments knows I'm here and have my car there, but they don't know that I know that they know I'm here and have my car there. They're planning on me doing something small then escaping in the vehicle, so they're ready to seize me at the bottom. I also don't think they know that I'm only one of many who have planned to do things all across the city-state. The time comes and I do something... some act of sabotage... unsure what. Then I drop down onto the passing train, leave my car behind, ride for a while, ditch the train near a jogging trail into a forest, and run in. After a time, run up a fallen tree to a small platform and wait out of sight of all. Except I had been running next to a guy who saw me do it and is causing trouble. I eventually

T-Rex Subway Mythbusters Kidnapping

Dreamed on 2014.02.02.0928 Many dreams, most have faded by now. Something about people (possibly from the future) coming back with specific goals in mind -- taking over a themepark type of place. Because of causality laws, rather than doing anything themselves, they make us do things. I never see the whole dream through, but there is a T-Rex involved. Also, apparently there are different types of T-Rexs, and this one has a weird sunken face. Later, different dream, the mythbusters are excited about a visitor coming to their place, so they transform their headquarters into a lego themed Subway restaurant. (What the hell, right?). Anyway, it's storming outside, and the mythbusters girl mysteriously disappears/gets kidnapped just as the visitor arrives, bringing with him some new board games. I manage to state all the known info/clues about her disappearance before the dream cuts off.

Incentivize

Dreamed on 2013.12.27.0756 Chips in our brains (like in Feed) that constantly present us with sims-like goals for our lives which provide us with points we use as currency. Controlled by a government with malicious intent at times.

Unwilling Criminal Mercenary

Dreamed on 2012.04.16 I’m an expert swordsman, young adult, a little naive (referred to, henceforth, in third person). Falls in (because he needs work) with a band of men that he thinks will operate fairly similar to the Firefly crew. Land at a grocery store and he and crew start to take control of the store. Told to kill anyone in your way, send any loot to the front of the store. He isn’t sure what the main objective is (presumably not just to rob the individual civilians), but is told simply to neutralize the people. First corner he turns, there’s an employee who knows a few things about swords who has armed several girls and is trying to teach them a lesson. The employee sees the MC coming sword drawn, and runs at him to attack. “You don’t want to do that,” MC says, but the man fights anyway and is quickly killed. MC looks at dying body in shock, then looks at girls who raise their swords (incompetently). “There was no point for his death. Put down your swords, and I won’

River UFO

Dreamed on 2011.08.26 Escape back to the village by getting all the kids to race to the totem -- but then sneaking the other way. Lots of muddy/swampy stuff to sneak through. Eventually everyone needs to return to defend the village because the River UFO is going to be attacking (the name, apparently, is a reference to some previous adventure)

One more time, with feeling

Dreamed on 14.04.03.0625 standing in my parents' living room and looking down the hall. extraordinarily vivid. A light breeze blows from a vent and I hear the faint hum of ventilation. I slap myself and feel it. I know it's a dream, but I know it can't possibly feel this real. I wake up. Five minutes later I have the same dream with the same vividness. I wake up. Five minutes later it's the same thing, but this time I'm halfway down the hallway, still unable to move, but now completely hyperventilating and freaking out. Something scary is in the bedrooms but I cannot see through their darkened doorways.

That Damned Orphanage

Dreamed on 2013.07.02.0910 Returning to that damned orphanage one last time, but I know I must still follow all the rules. I'm late returning for the big clean, so they make everyone wait for me, but I am good at what I do and I have a system. Though known for my disobedience and rebellion I work fast and soon have everything up to standard -- it's poor and sloppy where I know they won't check, but in other places even the pieces of hay that make up the floor are aligned with each other.
