My Absolutely Ridiculous Dream Journal
Preface:
I got interested in lucid dreaming a few years back, and one of the things it requires you to do is to keep a dream journal so you remember what happened in your dreams. This helps you pinpoint the unusual things that happen and it helps you remember them. Eventually you will get to the point where you can easily realize "hey, I'm dreaming" when you see these reoccurring things in your dreams and that will in turn let you be the god of your own dreams with time and experience as you eventually get to take control of them. You go from being lead actor to director. Cool idea, huh? I decided I HAD to try that out.
My attempt royally failed (waking up at odd hours to write dream stuff down really wasn't working out and I had problems getting back to sleep to go to work the next day), but I did get a wealth of stupid and ridiculous dreams written down. Please note, these dreams really did happen, and they're pretty moronic on epic levels. Trust me, this isn't the kind of stuff I could just make up by myself. I will openly admit, my dreams are leagues more ridiculous than even Alice in Wonderland. Normally, I wouldn't even DARE sharing this with other people (I've been tempted to just destroy this thing to prevent it from ever being found), but... what the heck, this is the Humor thread after all and the theme is ANYTHING, right? So why not now?
Just try not to die of laughter. You can only imagine what it was like to actually be there dreaming and experiencing this stuff.
THE ARENA FIGHT
It all first started with a rectangular-shaped area that looked like a massive school gym where a huge audience was watching some muscular Asian Rambo-like dude try to make his way across a tightrope, but he falls at just the very end. See, the problem was he was trying to get across using his hands, but yeah, that sure didn't work out.
Next, a huge amount of the watching audience is called into the arena to engage in a total free for all, and they use just about anything handed to them. A few people expected this to happen from the start and were ready with their own weapons (near-lethal), some magical power, and costumes, but most of us had no idea this was going to happen and we were totally taken by surprise. At first, everything was totally frantic with people chaotically fighting until it was down to me and some small, black-haired Asian girl after everyone else had been eliminated.
Before trying to take her out, I used some magical ability to suddenly sprout glowing green angel-like wings that no one knew about except for me, and even I wasn't sure this spell would work in the first place or if it would just make me look like an idiot. I tried it and it actually DOES work, but as I'm flying, I move really quickly and I constantly have to fly all over the place, turning and swerving to avoid crashing into the walls. I eventually get used to flying with these wings, so I try to swoop down and strike her, but she kept moving around and it was hard for me to hit her. The few times I make the shot, I use those two Jupiter of the Monkey pins from The World Ends With You, the E one (with the slashing ability) and the Muramasa one (that one that has an uppercut attack). After short and powerful strikes, I take flight again, and the Asian girl seems defenseless. The fight carries on for over an hour with neither of us giving up while the audience gets bored. At one point, she tries using some discarded plastic keg container to try and bring me down, but it doesn't work and I use it against her instead, and this time it hits her but only has a minimal effect (of course). After a long fight, some judge, an older woman who looks a lot like a typical grade school teacher, declares the battle to be a draw and the dream ends.
COMMENTS: We definitely need more events like this.
MY SISTER'S NEW GUINEA PIG
Dreamed my sister got a new cream-colored guinea pig in the time I was out doing something else while everyone else had been waiting in the car. He seems fine in the car, but then we bring him inside a restaurant, he gets antsy, goes under the table, and we struggle to keep him from running away all over the place.
COMMENTS: I guess we forgot to buy an actual cage for the rodent.
THE SHAFT
So, I'm getting in an elevator with another mother and her two children. I realize by looking through the gap between the elevator and the door, we are at least several stories up. Meanwhile, the gap is at least a foot and a half wide from the doors, which causes a problem for the two kids considering they're small enough to fall through there. They're afraid to jump across the gap to get into the elevator, but the mother just doesn't care and refuses to help them.
COMMENTS: So when they grow up to be rebellious, beer-guzzling goths later on in life, mama should know where she went wrong.
ODD SUPERMARKET SHOPPING
I was going supermarket shopping with my brother and a few of his friends. Everyone goes in and just grabs their own shopping cart while the line to get in is chaotically zig-zagging by the front door. We skip past the line and I get in first and order cheese, but since I don't really know what cheese the rest of the family wants, I just order whatever seems good. I also pay in cash. I also quickly realize each area of the supermarket has their station stalls, kind of like a farmer's market. One section with salad dressings and other condiments seems oddly shaped ends up being laid out like the backyard at our house. Also, I was wearing a Little Mermaid backpack that my brother's friend and I were joking about earlier, but I simply told him I had "just gotten it for free" and then I showed him the black one I usually use.
COMMENTS: Yeah, something about pride being on the line because a Little Mermaid backpack just isn't as MANLY as a big, black one.
DID IT REALLY HAPPEN?
Our family was at the dinner table and my mom and my sister were attacked from behind by some black blur. At one point they seem dead, but later on in the dream, they were totally fine as if nothing ever happened. They even try to help me pin down the attacker...
...which somehow leads to me being escorted to some large airplane hangar/warehouse place where they're storing very large and overstuffed Pokémon plush toys, including a giant Lugia one.
COMMENTS: Yeah, I think I took a wrong turn somewhere along the line.
DARK HOMESTEAD
Now I'm on some strange island where there is a small, somewhat innocent-looking house and a square gazebo. A group of wizards and myself are waiting for someone or something to arrive at shore, I wasn't even sure what, but strange creatures and abominations keep trying to emerge from the house. Most of them seem impervious to our magic spells, but we're able to keep pushing them back into the house. Once most of them get pushed back in, we keep them contained for a bit longer by using our magic to put wood and other barricades over the windows and doors. But soon enough, they're strong enough to push them away and break through, but we're at least buying time.
We decide to just flat out destroy the house, but it's just not possible even after we've tried launching fireballs and other similar spells of destruction at it. Some time passes and we manage to temporarily focus our attention elsewhere after we believe we managed to seal up the house for good. However, I discover a large group of zombies have broken out and have already started spreading all over the island. I then attempt to push them back in, although it seems like I really have my work cut out for me.
COMMENTS: It's the Walking Dead/Survivor/Harry Potter crossover!
THE COMPOUND ISLAND
So I'm dreaming I'm on another island, having a few of the same magic powers from other dream. The island is much bigger this time, and has several large compounds that seem to be heavily guarded. While I'm here, I'm also on some quest to obtain Hummingbird Potion, although I have no idea why I need it or why I'm even trying to get it in the first place. All I know is that it gives whoever guzzles this stuff down the ability to fly really crazy fast at crazy extreme speeds. And the dream ends like that, extremely unclimatically.
COMMENTS: I sure love my energy drinks, don't I?
BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 3: THE DISAPPOINTMENT
I'm now in this warehouse and storage area that has become one of the multiplayer maps in Battlefield Bad Company 2, but instead of guns, we're using cans of spray paint that seem to shoot really long distances. I was able to get the drop on people who were just camping around, but at one point, they added a bunch of civilians to the game that were just standing around and weren't doing anything at all.
COMMENTS: See, this is why we still need first person shooter games to be rated M for Mature.
IRISH RENAISSANCE FAIRE
So, I'm now at this major festival that plays out like a really huge Renaissance Faire and everyone is wearing colorful costumes. I'm with a group of people that have Irish accents, and for the time being, I try to fake one just to fit in. Meanwhile, all of us in this group are wearing very soft green and white clothing. At one point, I get some kind of varsity lettering added to the back of my costume, but I forget what exactly they were spelling out. Besides that, the costume also came with a large, soft, rounded hat but had a few flaps on the ears and back.
We then start to head toward an eating area where several other groups were gathering, all wearing similar costumes to ours, just different colors and with other small variances. On the way there, I see many desserts and pastries prepared and presented along with other ornamental pieces depicting fantasy creatures such as fairies, mermaids, and so on. I also break out into song, singing something in another language.
On the way there, I suddenly realize this is a dream (oh, only just now!?) and the temptation to manipulate the heck out of it comes to mind, but I actually decide that despite the dream being idiotic and crazy, it still seems fun and I just decide to roll along with it for now. But there was still this weird, tugging sensation when I realized things were starting to change a bit according to my weird desires. But I stopped because I was also afraid people in the dream might become suspicious.
I then realize I totally skipped ahead of the rest of my Irish friends I was with and I was totally alone, singing to myself. I headed back to find them again and I realize they're sitting down at the eating area without me, already cutting up and serving some purple-colored cake. The portions being served among the group are totally off with some people obviously having way bigger pieces than other people. But hey, I at least get a nice, average sized piece to enjoy before the dream ends.
COMMENTS: I need to figure out what I ate prior to that night and never, never eat it again.
THE ORDER PROTECTION
So now I'm part of the Order of the Phoenix from Harry Potter. The only issue with this dream is that nothing much has happened and they're reusing the same set from the Compound Island dream that I had the other night. Oh, and there weren't any battles either.
COMMENTS: See, I would have totally walked out on that movie if it was like this.
TROPICAL ISLAND OF WEIRDNESS
Now I'm on yet another island where my brother and I are taking some accounting exam from some young, bearded professor who warns us that there might be a little trigonometry on it as well. Afterwards, my brother and I, along with several other guys that were taking this exam, all go for a swim at the beach during the night. And then a short while later, we end up back at some hotel room.
Some kind of show goes on later with the theme of Martians and aliens invading the island, but the whole thing ends up being really cheesy and stupid, and I make the comment of feeling like I'm "just a supporting character in a crappy movie" when they try to make the show have audience interaction. Despite all the special effects of a made-up Mars blocking out the light of the moon and giant animatronic aliens, we roll our eyes at the big budget epic fail of a show and just leave to go grab dinner.
My whole family is there at this resort-like place, and the multiple restaurants look like they're based off of that Paradise Island city-building game I used to have for my old smartphone. The weird thing is all of the restaurant names have logos and signs that have graffiti-like fonts and it makes it impossible to read them. Then we're given some offer of moving chairs (WTF) and just as we're looking at the restaurant menus, I notice the list of items on the menus is exceptionally small and limited.
COMMENTS: I'm really glad I didn't have to pay a dime for that vacation.
INSIDE JOB
Now I'm a member of the Sopranos, only I have a very minor supporting role in the family, such as driving members to their destinations, along with other simple errands. What I do know is that I'm trying to slowly break away from my involvement from the family without looking suspicious.
At one point, I'm approached by two FBI agents while I'm in my car at the parking lot of a courthouse. They ask me several questions about the Sopranos, but I only give them minor, ambiguous details and white lies. They managed to track me again later while I'm driving down some country road.
One piece of evidence I have on me seems strange, which happens to be a picture frame, but instead of a picture, there are words within the frame. The words detail a series of murders that were performed on March 11, but I don't remember what year it said. There also seems to be a hidden compartment in the back, but I never open it. The FBI agents find this picture frame and ask me about it, but they're totally confused about it and don't understand it's purpose or connection with the Sopranos.
COMMENTS: Not even the FBI understands my dreams.
RUSSIA AFTER DARK
I'm in some first person shooter game set in Russia during the winter, although it seems like the game constantly switches from first person to third person all over the place, kind of like Metal Gear Solid 4. Meanwhile, I'm working with several squadmates to take out some military warlords with AK-47 rifles.
One of the really weird things about this scenario is we all have these unusual powers. While we're making our way around the Russian compounds and military bases, we can transform into different animals and creatures like butterflies, rabbits, and... mermen. And we're also able to go underwater, climb walls, and walk on ceilings. all used to help our covert mission. To justify this weirdness, I'm simply told by one of my squadmates that these are just powers and anomalies, like this kind of weirdness is perfectly acceptable, and it's just us using the weirdness that the corrupted military is creating against them before we shut them down.
COMMENTS: In Soviet Russia... ... you know, I don't even know where to go with this one.
TRAPPED AT THE PARK
I'm driving alone to some theme park in my Dodge Challenger. The name of this place makes it sound like a Dave & Buster's, only the park looks and feels a lot more like Busch Gardens.
The weird thing is that it also seems like the park never closes. When I get there, I run into a lot of issues paying for my parking pass, and it just happens to be around 1:30 AM at night. Also, for some reason, I'm being charged $50 for the parking pass. I tell the attendant that's ridiculously high, and the young African-American lady there just agrees but nothing is done about it. I then try to pay in cash, but for some reason, it seems like almost all the bills in my wallet have been changed into Japanese Yen. I'm able to find a few single dollar bills buried among all of this Japanese money, but I keep losing count of how much money I actually have in the process of trying to find usable bills to pay with. I get pulled off to the side to stop me from blocking everyone else trying to get in, and it seems like it takes me hours to resolve the issue I'm having with these guards. I finally manage to pull out enough money to pay for the parking pass, but I need to head into the park to get to an ATM, as I had essentially nothing legal tender at this point. However, ironically, I'm somehow able to get into the park itself without paying.
The park is also ridiculously crowded despite this late hour, and the whole time, no one suspects I was able to get in without paying for anything except for the overpriced parking pass. I also get lost and find myself ending up on lines to go onto boat rides and log flumes I had no intention of going on in the first place.
I also run into one of my brother's friends while I'm there, only it seems his leg is broken and he can't walk that well at all. Instead of using a wheelchair, he's using an office chair with wheels to get around. I decide to help him out by pushing him around while he helps me find my way back to the park's entrance. At some points, we end up having to cross over rivers by means of stone bridges. There are several moments during our... adventure where he thinks he can walk again, but he ends up being wrong and can only do it for a short distance before we need to rely on the chair again to get him around.
By now, it's dawn and we finally make it back to the park's entrance. I decide to try and call home to let them know I'm going to stay at the park until the late afternoon, and only then do I decide to finally get my car parked and actually pay for the ticket now.
COMMENTS: So after all that headache to get out of there, I end up wanting to stay there LONGER!?
TOTAL WARDROBE MALFUNCTION
I dreamed I had just gotten a pair of black costume angel wings, but they seemed to change size and shape all throughout the duration of the dream. And for some weird reason, I felt the wings looked great accompanied with a sports jacket I was also wearing.
We were also clearing out the closets and some of the furniture, mostly the dressers. I didn't know the reason why, however. I figured we were just getting rid of old clothing.
I also seemed to change heights at random times. At some points, it felt like I was normal size while at others, I was only three feet tall, having to look far up at the clothing hanging in my closet.
COMMENTS: I've got way bigger issues going on than clearing out my old clothes... >.<
--------------------------
And there you go. Lots of islands, stupid costumes, mermaids, ridiculous magic powers, and first person shooter influence.
Now you know why I never really shared my dreams prior to this...
