From LOTPW

Ugh my subconscious is mean. In my dream I was taking a road home from a friend's house. It's city driving (which I loathe with a passion) and construction was going on and I realized later I missed my turn. It went to one lane and got *edit for swears* and then I was in this industrial area on foot walking single file. I thought it was weird and was just curiously looking around scoping the scenery. We passed through an arch and railing to a bridge. The guy in front of me looked back and asked "you guys know how to do this right?" and held his arms out straight to his sides and started walking one foot in front of the other toe to heel. I looked behind me and the other two people were already doing it to. The bridge was a thin metal tong the width of a foot and rusty. To my left the railing we walked from ran away in a big sweeping arc til I could see the rest of the city. Below the railing was a slope of dirt, rocks and boulders. It currently dipped twenty feet or so beneath us. Forward it just kept going and going. To my right was nothing but air. This was the bridge, I thought in my mind. (I don't know if it is a real place or I just made it up. It looked kind of iconic and maybe South American? Very bleached white limestone boulders) I am deathly afraid of heights and was sweating rivulets. I politely but firmly told the people behind me I was going back. They tried to peer pressure me into doing it but I was having none of it. In no uncertain terms around, under or through them I was getting home to see my Jaina. *it was charming he thought of me in his panicked near death experience. I'm in his priorities of what he wants to live for 🥰* So I Gollum crawled under the metal "bridge" my arms and legs above me til I got back to safety and ran back to the city proper. I called my friend and called him a son of a *swear* for not telling me about this. It was about then I woke up to giant cat face staring me in the eyes asking for me to feed her and let her out.

I had my first dream today! 😁

 

A little background: For a while people have been talking off and on about dreams in the LOTPW thread, and I was a bit sad that I've never dreamed before. Phil dreams; I've appeared in a couple of them, but I've never dreamed myself. Last night, I prayed for the ability to dream; I'm not super religious but I do believe in God and I pray to Him sometimes. Well, I guess prayer works! 🙂

 

This was a very weird and slightly scary dream: In it there had been some kind of plague or disaster and I was roaming around some kind of post-apocalyptic city alone. Phil was actually nowhere in sight and wasn't in this dream at all. I don't remember beat-for-beat the details of the dream, but I accidentally did something to offend a local gang and I spent the rest of the dream escaping from them as they chased me. 😕 But as a consequence of the plague or whatever that had happened, some people gained extra abilities, and I somehow gained Spider-Man-like abilities! 😁 I wasn't full-on Spider-Simmie (wouldn't that have been cool though? 😁) but I could jump and climb big distances and I had some ability to produce web, but I couldn't shoot it. These abilities allowed me to escape from some pretty close calls. The guys in the gang were really aggressive and scary. I remember climbing higher and higher up a broken down abandoned skyscraper and finding an abandoned music store at the top. Shortly after that the dream ended without a resolution.

 

I had one little dream after that too but it was different; Phil was in the dream and I wasn't, but I still know it was my dream because I was viewing it from my perspective. Phil was in a situation where he was in a room with two other people who were arguing about a very sensitive political/historical topic. I don't want to get into details about it. But I could tell that both of the arguing guys wanted Phil to join in the argument on their own side. The thing was, he was friends with the guy whom he disagreed with, but didn't know at all the person with whom he agreed. I could feel him getting tense but didn't know what to do to help him. 😕 That's about where the dream ended, again without resolution.

 

So analyze that! 😄

I had another Alien - type dream.
They usually revolve around having to avoid or escape from Ridley Scott's Aliens, often in some abandoned research facility, without much actually happening. Unfortunately I remember only very little of it and tupper only intervened in the end as usual.

 

It wasn't really scary but clear I should avoid drawing any attention from predatory xenomorphs. Which as usual were never to be seen. The research facility was plain and more like a complex of abandoned buildings, still in good shape. After wandering around for a long time things appeared to be safe and I ended up in some conservatory with big glass doors opening to the outside. Just when I was about to close them, better safe than sorry, something sprinted towards me at full speed. A mountain lion!

I was in a serious conflict between closing the door to be safe and trying to pet the cougar but as it was charging me at full speed it didn't seem overly friendly. Once again in the process of waking up as the cat was about too leap at me tupper appeared from behind me and raised her arms in a 'shoo!' which caused the startled cougar to do a backflip and race off to where it came from.

 

Tupper:

Ooo a puma!   

[Glaurung26]

Well that was a weird choice for dreams.

 

The first was that I was interviewing for a job at Hallmark and after noticing the third or fourth swastikas on the banners, shelves and magazines, I realized they were a front for a certain national socialist party. I excused myself quietly and quickly out the door. I tried to tell my parents and get the mall security to help, but by the time I got back they had torn everything down and replaced it. I was desperately scrambling through trash cans to prove it was real and I was being gaslighted.

 

The second was that I caved and went crawling back to McDonald's to work there. I was half an hour and then a full hour late for my shift. I had finally gotten dressed and was ready to go and wondered why my manager hadn't called to bitch me out. It was around then I realized I was dreaming and went "thank God."

Aand another pointless dream where I was saved by a little girl just as I was about to take harm.

 

I don't remember much except for the end where I was taking a walk in my neighborhood at night minding my own business when I was stopped by a big chubby guy with long hair and beard wearing some black metal T-shirt. He accused me of having bumped into him though I wasn't even close and started to engage me.

He did not really look threatening and even as he began chasing after me I didn't take him seriously because he didn't look like he could even remotely keep up with my speed and stamina. I'm pretty good at running (away).

 

However unexpectedly that guy quickly gained ground on me while laughing like crazy and things became really uncomfortable. But once again as I was already in the process of waking up from distress, his chase came to an abrupt end when he ran into tupper and her trusted friend Mr. metal bar. She skewered him with mild contempt like dealing with an annoying fly which is even more hilarious if you consider the size difference.

 

Ido hostile dream character kill count: +1

[TurboSimmie]

That totally sounds like Ido! She's really a secret weapon. 

[Yakumo]

Not very secret, more a weapon of mass destruction. I wish things would turn out a little less violent.

 

2 related vivid dreams, sadly no tupper.

Spoiler

1) Grandmaster Flash in da Hood

 

I had read about @TB's father being fond of Grandmaster Flash in LOTPW yesterday and somehow the brain decided this was worthy of a dream.

 

I was in the neighborhood of my grandparents house in 80s Bavarian suburbia and Grandmaster Flash was supposed to give a talk or presentation about whatever. So the entire neighborhood gathered in their gardens to hear him. Unfortunately this also ruined the neighborhood because Grandmaster Flash was apparently a member of the Bloods, and Crips were patrolling the area in a pickup truck. Gang warfare was imminent. A woman in distress came running towards me and a couple of other kids as we were sitting on the porch and shouted 'They are hiding everywhere, it's an ambush!' As the situation wasn't safe anymore the event was canceled and people evacuated orderly. Later there was loud rap music playing from my grandparents house. I thought this was inappropriate because it was already late in the evening. Imagine all this in ultraconservative and 100% white suburbian Bavaria. Then I had a false awakening and told friends from school about that dream and that one of them had been Grandmaster Flash in it though I had never seen him.

 

*wake up back to bed*

 

2) Servant Hitler sucks

Again in my grandparents house decades ago. There was a party with lots of people most of which I didn't know. My mother was talking to a German Social Democrat politician I recognized. I mocked him for a stupid election slogan which was something like "we are gonna present 32.000 concepts to improve Germany" but he unironically thought it was a good idea. My mother turned to me and asked me when her parents / my grandparents had voted for Hitler and even though dream I correctly guessed it could only have been between 1930 and 33.

Hitler emerged from behind and patted me on the back saying 'That's the spirit!' Then he continued to serve coffee to guests. My mother was waiting for him at a table with an empty coffee cup and plate but Hitler just took the cup and disappeared into the kitchen. Moments later he returned with a staple of plates and forced them on me as he was shaking badly from Parkinson disease. My mother had organized a cup of coffee elsewhere in the mean time when Hitler returned from the kitchen once again with a porcelain coffee can. He tried to pour orange juice from it into a glass on the table but because he was shaking badly he spilled it all over the table and most of it on the floor before leaving again. People politely ignored him.

That was awkward.

@YakumoThey should have bullied him more 😜 Or just how to paint properly. Dreams are some kind of special I guess. 🤷‍♂️
