Dreamed I was playing a survival game similar to Don't Starve. I don't recall if it was Don't Starve or simply a game very similar to it that my subconscious decided to make from scratch.

Anyway, that probably means I should stop playing Don't Starve for a while.

I had a dream that the chinese were fielding attack-squids in their navy. Then everything was post apocalypse.

I just played DnD in a place that looks like Diablo II's first chapter. I didn't know that I was in a game like Order of The Stick but there was some talks related to DnD mechanics. Also, there wasn't any races. Everyone was Human.

My character was a Chaotic Neutral (or Evil, I don't remember exactly) Sorcerer. My best friend was a Neutral Evil Fighter. Two of us joined a Good aligned party. We had a Cleric, a Barbarian, a Paladin, and a Rogue. We traveled together but after some time my friend started arguing with the rest of the party. I took his side. The Paladin was telling me to shut up and carry on. I replied by suggesting to suck his levels (I had Energy Drain).

After some arguing, I left the group with my Fighter friend and avoided bloodshed. We walked aimlessly toward a direction and encountered a crypt on the way. I suggested that we loot the place and my friend agreed. We got our asses kicked in a minute and ran away from the crypt. I couldn't accept the defeat and suggested that we go back in. My friend said that we should level up more before coming here. I didn't listen to him and went back in alone. I couldn't even deal with the monsters at the entrance. I used a stone pillar as cover and started blasting. I managed to kill like 2 or 3 monsters out of 20 that was attacking me. I had only one remaining hit point. So I fled again. My friend gave me a "Told ya." and we walked away from the crypt.

Then I woke up. The dream had lots of potential for interesting stuff if my mom didn't wake me up.

Had a dream a good few days ago. In that dream, I had a girlfriend. We laughed, enjoyed, did stuff that was appropriate for lovers. But eventually, when I turned my back, she disappeared. I went looking for her everywhere, while I was seemingly tearing up and crying as I did so. I found her nowhere. Then I finally wake up.

I realize that my brain is making my conscience feel fuzzy for screwing up in many places concerning a familial relationship, and this was how it reminded me of my failures.

Might need a drink.

Might need a drink.
Next time we meet, in dreamspace, I might join ya...  (Not as in "singles bar" joining you, unless it's actually a low-rate-of-success one with everyone waiting on the off-chance of some misguided and/or open-minded supermodel wandering in, along with half a dozen of her closest work-colleagues, but until then there's just me, you, Morn from DS9, Norm from Cheers and Barney from the Simpsons desperately holding onto the bar to make sure it doesn't spin so much that the drinks get spilt.)

Although my self-pitying dreams tend to sit in the half-awake/half-dreaming bit of my cycling consciousness, when I'm actually consciously pondering things.  The full dreams tend to be more esoteric (although you can certainly extract the occasional bit of ennui edit: no, not ennui...  'self-reflection'[1]? from them).

OTOH, when I counted the number of people who expect to see me over any given week (not counting people from Officialdom, and of course virtual places like this where I'm just a few random bytes in a crowd) I came up with the grand total of 'Four'.  That's basically counting family, friends and work colleagues.  There's more who would notice my absence from rarer events (such as this very weekend, where any announced absence from an organised event would mean getting someone else to replace me at short notice, and "just not turning up" would cause real problems), but it's slightly less people than I'm comfortable with should I find myself suddenly struck ill, or injured, at home or out on the road and knowing that the neighbours wouldn't find much less than an eventual unrepaired broken window as cause to wonder if I'm actually around at all.


Sorry, ending on a downer, there.

Shall we try and lighten the mood in saying that probably your dream is a rehearsal, for when you actually (and imminently) need to interact with such a girlfriend?  And then darken it again by suggesting further rehearsal for if/when she departs again, for some reason so far unknown...  But, after all, that which does not kill you[2] makes you stronger!!


[1] i.e. In the manner of an introvert, that being more of what I actually meant here.  I knew it wasn't quite right, hence this late edit.

[2] Or end up severing or disabling a majority of your limbs! (edited down into a footnote, while I'm here, to try to flow better)

Alien Queen attacking Mordor with an army of potato farmers at her behest. First came the fields. Fertile volcanic ash fields undoubtedly turn out to be great for farming. Towers, walls and massive fortifications are rendered with the help of the Godzilla sized Queen. Sauron and the Queen begin boasting and taunting one another as a new, better Mordor rises. The gates open and the dream ends.

Dreamt an epic dream of adventure and romance, don't remember the details tough.
Was severely disapointed when I woke up.
My alarm clock took some punishment today.

I'm remembering too much of my dreams these days but the part that stood out last night was when I talked to a figment of my imagination about how to better handle imaginary threats. When I asked him why he was wearing a hoodie in a gothic mansion setting filled with starving vampires and independent shadows he replied "probably dream logic".

I had too much pizza before sleep so weird dream:

Basically I was running naked on a grassy field in Canada or Scotland? With either Kaijyuu or Descan, I don't remember the face clearly, but it was one of those two. We were chasing sheep that were screaming 'BODICES OF TERROR ARE THERE, RUN FOR THY LIFE'.
And then we agreed this was too gloomy so we did few piruets and teleported to the desert. There we had a tea party with few scorpions wearing top hats and monocles.

Then I woke up because of stomachache :c

Had a dream where I won a small lottery. So, Wolfeyez and I decided to take a driving vacation. During said vacation, we'd drive up next to people and roll down the window as if I (in the passenger's seat) were going to ask for directions. Instead, when the other people started to roll down their window, I would start singing "Never Gonna Give You Up," and then we'd take off before they realized what happened. This happened a couple dozen times before I woke up.

That's brilliant. I need to try that sometime.
