[QUOTE=Zernbrog;39055802]So, I had a dream a few days ago that was really weird. In the dream Facepunch was like real. It was a place in the world and people would go to there to talk and post things on billboards and shit. The billboards look like facepunch threads and all that and there were sections you could go to and shit. Also bans just meant you could go back to Facepunch for a while, however a Perma-ban meant you had to die. So in this Facepunch world I was goofing around and shit. Then out of nowhere I got perma-banned. The would place turned red and there were sirens and stuff going off. Then I saw some text in my hud saying "You have been perma-banned by Orkel". I was like "Oh Fuck, Oh Fuck!" and I started sprinting out the door. Just before I got to the door Orkel's avatar was there waiting for me, except it was 10ft tall and had a shit ton of weapons on it. It was saying "Must exterminate the Perma-banned user". So then it became a game of cat and mouse until I got to some weapons room. There were just so many weapons and awesome ones too, but instead I took a fork. A fucking fork, not the rocket launcher or the portal gun or the gravity gun, just a fork because I heard a voice say "Take the fork so you can stir your Ovaltine". When Orkel's avatar caught up it pinned me to the wall with it's giant hand and aimed a rocket at my face. Then I panicked and stuck the fork in its neck which shut it down. I stood over the robotic hulk and said "Woohooo I escaped a perma-ban." Then I heard clapping in the distance. There's Garry clapping. Not Garry the person, but Garry's body with his avatar over his face and his lips didn't move. "Well done. You completed the test and done what most cannot with the Fork of Destiny." At this point I'm just like wtf is happening. A man with the words Orkel above his head comes out of the shadows and starts fixing Orkel's avatar. "Man, Garry why's it always gotta be my robot that gets beaten up? Why can't you have some other mods robot beaten to a pulp?", said Orkel. "What beaten to a pulp? I just put a fork in it and it shut down guy. It almost killed me man!" <-Me "Well you're alive and that's what counts", said Garry, "I would like to make you a mod." "What? I become a mod if I escape a perma-ban?" "Yes that's how it has always worked. The same goes for Mr. Apple and the rest." "But I thought you elected them or something like that?" "No, we put them up to the same test you went through. That's how we add new mods." Then over my head a green name popped up that said Zernbrog. With a title that said "Mod of shit and stuff like that aka Fast Threads". I was just awe struck and then Orkel, Orkel's Avatar and Garry left. I was alone just sitting there and then the fork hopped in my hand. The fork started speaking to me. Telling me all the powers that a mod has and stuff like that. Then it said to "get up and start Modding because there is a lot to do!" And then the dream ended. I really hope that dream continues like most the dreams I have. I know Orkel should get a kick out of this one.[/QUOTE] Dude that's fucking awesome dream
I had an OBE for the second time in my life. The first was fun. I was able to raise out of my body and fly out of my window when I realized I had control I got too excited and was cast back into my body. The second I could see myself sleeping while hearing this loud ringing sound along with a voice saying "We must program him" or words to that effect. I was suddenly put back into my body. Then I feel this surge of energy through my spine and the back of my brain. I have no Idea what to make of that.
Recently started to read 'exploring the world of lucid dreaming'. Good book. Maybe it'll finally get me lucid after almost two years of near enough nothing.
[QUOTE=orcywoo6;39070153]Recently started to read 'exploring the world of lucid dreaming'. Good book. Maybe it'll finally get me lucid after almost two years of near enough nothing.[/QUOTE] I got into trying to lucid dream after watching Waking Life, it finally happened when I quit trying. I got so excited that I woke up, never to lucid dream again. Probably better sleep this way, anyways ha
I'm tempted to buy that mask but I'd have a hell of a lot of trouble explaining what I was doing if someone happened to see it. Also I haven't had a memorable dream in about three weeks, but I've been sleeping REALLY well, so that's probably a good sign.
i dreamed i was a black slave in a ship then i realized i was dreaming, so i decided to turn the other slaves into computers and i apparetenly had telekenesis because i was throwing every computer at the captain at once over and over again, it was kind of messy because i wook up when the captains eyeball started running up my pants
Man, had a pretty twisted dream last night. There was like this cult, whose leader had supernatural abilities of some kind, and he loved to torture his followers. The part that really stuck to my mind was when he cut off a branch of spruce wood, with the spikes and all, and tied it around some little girl's neck and then took another branch and shoved it down her throat. There was nothing I could do, because he was being surrounded by his crazy followers, and it made me feel bad.

Had a dream that I was at the rim of a giant pool of water. Then a voice said "This pool is filled with the piss of every human on the planet. Now add your piss". I sunk into and the pool, while trying to get out and the dream ended. What are you trying to tell me subconscious?

Well, lucid dreaming again- don't know why. Started off with falling asleep in social studies and dreaming up that someone I knew from a mumble channel, the owner of the Minecraft server I play on, was getting sworn in as president. The dream continued as I noticed even more people that I know from that Minecraft server sitting in the audience- their playertags sorta started popping up above their heads, but they were real life people, not even remotely based on their Minecraft skins. Strangely, the dream ended as the camera suddenly panned to a bedroom somewhere in serbia, where this serbian I knew from that Minecraft server was laughing his ass off, pointing to the TV, where they were live broadcasting the new president's speech. Then, I woke up with my social studies teacher shaking my shoulders and stuff. My classmates told me I had been saying some political speech in my dreams.. I asked them about it later, and turns out that I was repeating the inaugural speech that the server owner was giving. Best social studies class ever.
I never had a lucid dream, but I had a horrible nightmare that was something out of silent hill that had a baby with inception. the dream started like this, I woke up in a stadium waiting for a team to show up, surrounded by my classmates. but the team didn't arrive. suddenly I'm leaving the stadium and I see my cousin's house, then someone from my school gives me a cool phone that's able to project stuff like a bigass screen for everyone to see, but that's the last that appeared in the dream. then I suddenly wake up in a hospital, listening to some doctors talking about aborting a baby and dark rituals and the nurse was saying that it was wrong and shit, and then I was next to some kind of giant abyss and I saw the body of that nurse and the doctor, and searched them both for something to get me out of that abyss and suddenly I hear a voice telling me to climb and that the only way to find light was jumping into the abyss itself. then when I looked back the body of the doctor was up and about and started morphing into something grotesque and following me, then I jumped inside the abyss(I remember doing it assassin's creed style, since I'm a big fan of the series that's probably why I did that in the dream.) then I wake up at the stadium again, still inside the dream, and then everything goes on as it did and I'm back at the hospital again, but now I receive a text in my phone that said how to make things right, I had to find the notes. I thought, what the fuck and then when I was listening to the doctors, he suddenly noticed me and started searching for me, and that's when stuff got warped up. when he touched the walls they would warp and become all fucked up, and all the people in the hospital were frozen, in a weird state that when I touched them they'd open their mouths and suck me in like a portal to somewhere. then I had an Axe, held myself from the secretary lady that was almost sucking me whole, she stopped and then I went on to search for the "notes", I found that doctors desk, and it had some story about a unwanted baby and shit and that baby appeared and was trying to kill me while I read the stuff, and then all started to break, and like in a Scene from the series Supernatural it all went white and I woke up. that was the most fucked up dream I had in 2012. this was one day before new years eve, and my friend wanted me to play F.E.A.R. at his house and that I would shit bricks, but I had all that shit and just went through it just fine. It made me stronger. thanks weird inception silent hill dream. oh, I forgot to tell that when I actually woke up, I was stunned for a while, asking myself if It was still a dream. HOLY SHIT I WROTE THAT MUCH!?
I've heard you're not supposed to be able to see yourself (like a reflection) in a dream... Is this true? Because I'm 99.9% sure I saw my own reflection without being skewed or distorted or disfigured. I also seem to have these sort of reoccurring dreams that build on themselves, like a really strange RPG. been playing vidja too much
Had a pretty vivid dream last night. I was a merchant in a fantasy world of some kind. Had to deliver something to a city nearby. The place I started at was a small town whose name I can't remember, but it was the capital of the world even though it was small. The route I took was around 10km long, a winding road that passed through a slightly hilly area. It was green, everything was glowing. It was a fantasy mid-summer, basically. But there was also a dangerous area on the way there. It was an old abandoned town, filled with undead. Zombies and ghosts. It was something we had to run through, as we couldn't fight so many. The abandoned town had Japanese-styled houses, but they were in bad shape due to being abandoned for decades. Anyways, after that part was done, the road took us up a mild hill behind which was our destination, the giant port-town called Coal. It was beautiful, the view was kinda like [url=http://www.biblewalks.com/Photos39/karmiel5_detail2.jpg]this[/url] but with a nearby sea and more bright and happy colours, think fantasy world. And it was even bigger. Then on our return trip we also passed through the ghost town (pfft) and reached our small town. I remember visiting that ghost town in another dream many months ago aswell, this is the second time I've been there. But in that dream there were no undead, it was just a long-abandoned old-fashioned Japanese small town that me and some others explored. Also second dream. I was at a hotel, which had suffered a huge catastrophe in the past and as a result was filled with ghosts. But only I could see them. Most of them were friendly, I remember one old man with a big white beard and all captain-like attire, as he was leaving the room I saw him and waved, he waved back and laughed. Then at a stairway, there was a ghost that looked like he was patched up from several parts together, like he had died in an explosion or something. It was a kid, I'm sure, he was quite short and acted playful etc. But looked all frankenstein-like with sutures etc But there were also evil ghosts. One was a soldier who kept driving a ghost tank in the hallways, a T-34 that no one could see, but I had to run away from the madman and hid in a room. In the hotel room were two ghosts, who were also hiding from the ghostly tanker, a woman and her child. I greeted them before going out on the balcony and waiting there for the tanker to pass. Woke up at this point. [editline]7th January 2013[/editline] OH RIGHT. In that hotel dream, the remee affected the dream once again. I was walking down a hallway when I suddenly started getting "flashes to the past". Like my surroundings would suddenly flash into how it was decades ago with the people and all, then back to normal, in split seconds. The flashes went in the remee's rhythm and when I eventually woke up, the lights were still going.
I love how my dreams offer a range of banality and heavy allegory depending on the night. A few weeks after I dreamed of being in a city of bleached concrete thinly populated by people wearing cloaks who were never close enough for me to call out, darting around corners at the last minute, last night I had a blowjob dream where my hard drive died. [editline]7th January 2013[/editline] apparently Monday is B-movie night in my brain
[QUOTE=Orkel;34500903] -Clocks. Look at them, look away, then look at them again. [/QUOTE] I actually found a way to keep track of time in dreams. While you're getting tired, focus on your heartbeat. Once lucid, just keep imagining that constant rhythm and counting the beats until it becomes second nature. Associate your lucid clocks (digital ones are easier) with that number of beats (I put it one beat per second). Just make sure you don't get too used to it, the other day some kid in town asked me for the time and I said "36k beats, [I]uh[/I] I meant ten o'clock". Kid walks away like I was crazy :v:
Had a dream that the government had hired me to kill bosses in various virtual reality worlds. The machine was a sphere about 3 metres in diameter, and had a cockpit of some kind inside where I laid down and it then put me into that VR world. But, it required extreme pressure to operate. They first sank me into the deepest part of the ocean where I then proceeded to hop into VR, and for the last boss they sent me into space and into the sun itself, sank me down right on top of the sun's core and the pressure was astronomical. They would just come to me on random (dream)days and say I had a job to do, and I'd hop into the sphere and kill a boss while literally under huge pressure.
Reminds me of a dream I had where I was assigned to assassinate some boss at some industrial area. Then me and my partner in crime would sit in a hole dug in the snow and during night we moved forward, shooting out the cameras with silenced .22 pistols. Last dream I had; I hi-jacked a bus with a group of my friends, we all were wearing gray ski-masks. I was armed with a revolver (a Colt Python or something alike) and I were the one apprehending the driver and yelling at him with a horrible Italian-accent: You-a gett-a us the fuck-a outta here-a!!! Also I got struck with dream dementia so I forgot to put on my ski-mask on the first try so I had to quick-load in my dreams to the moment prior to attacking the bus.
first post on the thread :D so I had a dream last night, but I already have this kinds of dream for almost 3 times so there was this girl, shes like an artist in my country, a singer to be specific but I kinda like her.. so the dream, I was waiting for her infront of some crackhouse, then she came out and stand besides me.. (IRL, the fans of her singing group is like zombies, they can get jealous very easily) and she puts her head in my shoulder, and i was like "if you keep doing it, they can beat me up to death" and kinda move her head... and then she replies "I dont care" then she puts her head on my shoulder again I only met her like only... twice.. but this kinda dream already happen 3 times Is this just kind of, feelings and emotions I have before I went to sleep? I think I need to go to a Psychologist :(
Woke up at 2 am , was half asleep I couldn't move and I saw what I think was a man covered in a bed sheet raving around like he was being tortured , managed to move my finger and I woke up completely , its 3 am now and I don't want to go back to sleep :/. I was woken up bad what sounded like a woman reporting the news , it just got louder and louder until I was half awake seeing that man or whatever it was.
Update: In regards to the last post, it happened again... Why do I keep dreaming about..."it"?
Had a dream that my hair grew out to shoulder length for some reason. It was annoying
I killed Gabe Novel. I'm sorry but it's the truth. He was a terrorist and he was planing to do... something. I don't know what but I'm sure that he was a terrorist! I was told about it by... I don't know who. SOMEONE told me he was a terrorist so I went to some Iraqish place and I spied him. He was doing there something terroristish. I had to stop him by killing him. I had doubt If it's good move, because he haven't released EP3 yet. "How will the steam community react to my action?" My thoughts were. But I did it. I went to his mansion above sea and found him swimming as a giant octopus (upper half was Gabe, lower was octopus). I dived and stabbed him several times. Then alarm went off and I had to start normal life... but the feel of guilt has stayed. I'M SO SORRY GUYS!
I've been having a lot of lucid dreams for some reason. Since I'm on vacation I've been waking up at 8:30, eating breakfast, watching the news, and going back to sleep at 11:30AM. I usually just lie in bed until I eventually fall asleep for a moment. For the past few days I've had lucid dreams at exactly 12:30PM. Every one was a false awakening. Yesterday I awoke and heard a loud noise outside, and when I looked out the window I saw a large plane flying really low in the sky, then realised my entire backyard looked different. The woods behind my house was gone, and in its place a large open field, almost like someone took my home and plopped it in a rural area. I woke up just as it occurred to me I was dreaming. The next day I awoke from my bed again, went downstairs and looked at the clock. It was 2:30PM. I started making lunch, then I woke up from my bed again. Now the clock said 3:30PM. By this time I figured out what was going on, and when my sister walked into the room I asked her if I was dreaming, she said no, but when I looked out the window our cars were different, and I realized I was dreaming. One of my favorite things to do in lucid dreams is to just explore the dream world, so I decided to take a drive. I grabbed my keys, wallet, and drove off. Here's something odd though. I can vividly remember every other detail from the dream except the scenery when I was driving. I can sort of remember it, but it wasn't as vivid as the rest. Anyway the car stopped working in the parking lot of an abandoned-looking factory. I went through the glove box and found a flashlight with no batteries that still woked, and a notebook. Every page in the notebook had the same thing written in it, I only remember parts exactly but it reminded me of a MySQL syntax error: "Adding 'proposition' [an error message I don't recall the exact text of] ... #/usr/bin/self" Then a guy walked into the warehouse and I asked what was in there, and he said "it comes back to life" and hurried in. Then I woke up.
I wish I could have lucid dreams more often. Granted, I haven't tried WBTB, but it would still be nice. [editline]11th January 2013[/editline] I had a dream about the Wheel of time series crossed with MLP. I don't even like MLP.
Had a dream, I was talking with some girls that I know, and suddenly I see the girl that I like, looking me in the eyes.. and she start shittalking, then I become sad in the dream.Woke up still sad. God pls fix bug game.
Had a dream where I had super powers and then I married a succubus. What the fuck did I do last night
Had one of those insane nights, several vivid plot dreams that felt like they just wouldn't end. First one, I was a time traveller somewhere in the 1920s, travelling to Helsinki on a steam boat. It was a rough trip but we finally arrived. The ye olde harbor was so vivid and realistic, it was like really being there. I walked around and found a restaurant and entered. I ordered a pint of beer, but they didn't know what a pint was so they just gave me an entire bucket of it. They said it costs 13 finnish marks, but I only had euros. Tried to pay with them, but they had no idea what the fuck the coins were, so I told them that one is worth about 6 marks, and they finally accepted my payment of 2,5 euros. Then I somehow pissed off a nobleman, who challenged me to a sword duel, which ended as a draw. The dream then veered off into a submarine adventure, where me and the nobleman became friends and fought together against dem underwater enemies. Second dream, I was in an alternate universe. Found a Panzer IV, which was incredibly strangely modified with various bright happy cheery parts and it just didn't look intimidating anymore. But I drove it around my town, which was changed by the alternate universe - some parts were the same, some were strange as fuck. I arrived at the town square which had changed to a 100x100 metres sized bottomless pit, on top of which people had built walking areas from planks and wood and metal and god knows what else. Jumped out of the tank and explored the pit area. I got confronted by a MLP, yes you heard that right, a fucking pony, damn alternate universes. But it was actually "my little [I]police[/I]" and the pink thing told me I was in custody for being a dimensional traveller. It told me that my clothing matched the description it had. And then it started listing. Shorts - I was wearing jeans White socks- I didn't have Yellow shirt - this was the only thing that matched. And then it realized its mistake and went away. I met up with an eastern master of supernatural arts (which were apparently real in this universe) and asked him things. "What is the largest ocean in the world?" And he answers, the Nanoruk ocean (apparently the Pacific there) Apparently Japan was called something like Naanin and the ocean got its name from it [B]Asked him what "Panther" was in this world's language and his answer was "Phototo zo zon rerorero thuttritrir Bott" [/B](and at this point I woke up laughing and wrote everything up in my dream notes) Third dream, me and my sister were dead and being tested by an archangel (a Lord-Angel in the dream) about getting into heaven. Me and many others were there, we were like a "class" being taught the requirements and stuff we needed to do to get in. The angel had a hammer, a huge one like Thor's hammer or something, and he would smite the "students" that were unsatisfactory, basically making them disappear on the spot. Many were hit, including my sister, and eventually he started targeting me. I stalled him with a conversation as long as possible, but eventually I just accepted the hammer and said "well see ya" and the angel went "yea later" and he hit me in the chest. And at that moment, the world disappeared. I was floating in nothingness, thinking of nothing, feeling nothing, it was like my soul was dead. But I somehow got out of it into the real world, it seems the lord-angel had given me a second chance? But I wasn't aware of it. I saved my sister somehow by giving her two cups of water (she was also given a chance) and a big staircase appeared from the sky and the angel came and said that we had "redeemed" ourselves. And then we ran up, found ourselves on a generic cloud-top heaven and met our other "classmates" from before. We all had been promoted to lord-angels, we all had a mark on our foreheads with a triangle inside of a circle, both slightly glowing. In the future we'd be the ones giving classes to dead souls. We played football and it was a happy ending. Fourth dream, it can be summed up quite shortly. I was at my old school (pre-2005) having great fun with my old friends, and it was a very happy dream overall. Nothing really happened other than that, just hanging around with buddies.
