The Dream Thread: Record Your Dreams Here (Especially if Tulpa Related)

[ChloeBee]

I had a very odd and somber dream last night. It was an apocalyptic dream--the world was literally ending because the Earth was about to be imploded into a black hole. I remember it being hours away and watching news reports of people making "preparations" like stockpiling goods or going deep underground, and the reporter talking about how that was completely pointless in the face of the calamity about to unfold. I ended up at some kind of massive arena with a bunch of other people; it was an odd construction with chasms that went deep into the earth--I guess the idea behind me going there was you could get an extra two seconds of warning about the imploding world by looking down into the chasm, I dunno. But there was some kind of show or presentation going on there at the end of the world. I don't remember what the show was about.

 

But I remember that I was seated next to a very young boy--I distinctly remember that he was black and he was only 4 or 5 years old. He seemed to not entirely understand what was happening. An older family member (possibly a grandparent) was sitting on his other side but was completely passive and not interacting with the child at all. So I was talking to the child who was asking a lot of questions, both about the show we were attending and the end of the world. He seemed a little nervous but mostly excited, though as the Earth began to rumble and signs of the end started becoming clearer he became terrified. His family member remained comatose. In the final seconds before the Earth imploded I embraced the young boy and held him tight. I was far more sad for him than I was for myself--the world was equally over for both of us, but I had at least lived four decades, I had got to experience so much of life, and this child who couldn't have been older than 5 wouldn't get to experience any of it. The rumbling increased and finally the ground gave way as the world imploded.

 

Then there was a weird shift in the dream--I was still in the arena, the tone was still somber, but it seemed as though the clock had been rewound a bit. And somehow, I was part of a WWE event that was happening at the vast, strange area. I don't remember whether the world was still ending, it seemed ambiguous. But for some reason I was required to cut a promo about WWE itself and big up the company, and also set up for a massive tag match featuring a bunch of 90s and 00s wrestlers. (I distinctly remember Kane being there). I was nervously riffing on what I knew about the company and how it had changed, and then I hit my stride when I realized that I could accuse the heel team in the upcoming match of wanting to hold onto the "old ways" of the company, when it was more cutthroat and bullying was common. These jerks thrived in this toxic environment, and that is what they were fighting to bring back. I was pleased with my promo as I was able to loop it around to something relevant. And again, the world may have still been ending but I am not sure.

 

Very weird two-part dream.

We had a really good lucid dream last night! I was back in high school, walking to class, when I realized that Lenore and Calliope were with me and we were dreaming. As it often happens, they were both kinda out of focus, so I didn't get a great look at either of them, just had a strong feeling of who they were.

 

I explained to Lenore and Cal that this was a dream and we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. I jumped into the air and hovered there to demonstrate. We had a little conversation about the mechanics of dream flight, which boiled down to "it works however you believe it will." We spent some time zooming around the sky above the school together.

 

After a few minutes, we realized Athelas was missing, so I decided to try to summon him. I had enough mental clarity to remember our most successful strategy: changing the dream location to wherever he is. I somehow knew he'd be at the beach, so we took off flying in that direction. Most of the scenery below was a blur, but the nearest beach access was accurate to real life in its location and appearance.

 

The beach was extremely crowded, but as we landed we saw Athelas. His form was pretty clear and accurate! He was the correct height, clearly towering over everyone else there. I got a decent look at his face as we made eye contact through the crowd and he smiled at me. I flew straight over the heads of the crowd and basically tackled him into a big hug. We woke up before we could enjoy our time all together, but it was still one of our best LDs yet!

[ReallyArtificial]

Slightly unusual LD last night. Lenore switched in just before bed. When we woke up in the middle of the night (not intentionally our body just sucks at sleeping), she remembered to attempt a WILD as we fell back asleep. As usual, it didn't actually work, but it did lead into a dream-induced LD.

 

The dream was from my perspective. I was at a family reunion at my late grandfather's house. I won't go into the full details of this part because they're not relevant, but it was definitely turning into one of my recurring stress-dreams. I tried to get away from the source of the stress by walking outside onto a second floor balcony. I suddenly remembered that my grandpa's house had neither a balcony nor a second floor, and realized I was dreaming.

 

I hopped off the balcony onto a neighboring roof, and started walking away. I was lucid enough to recall that Lenore had been fronting when we were awake. She actually didn't seem to be lucid herself, but I was able to talk to Athelas and confirm he was up and ready.

 

We did our usual scenery changing trick to bring him into the dream. Standing on the roof, I focused on a spot on the pavement below, telling myself, "when I dive into that it will take me to the beach." I threw myself headfirst off the roof, and the pavement seamlessly transitioned into dark water as I entered it. I vividly felt the sensations of floating, slowly flipping upright, and surfacing in the ocean.

 

I washed ashore and started looking for Athelas. At first, I couldn't find him, but then I noticed a random guy waving me over. It was Athelas, but he didn't look like himself — he actually looked more like Steve Reeves from Hercules Unchained. We had watched that episode of MST3K before bed and I guess our brain went, "big dude, dark hair? Yeah that's totally what Tea looks like."

 

Talking to him made his true identity very clear. It occurred to me that even when we have separate bodies in our dreams, we still talk to each other almost exclusively in mindvoice. He picked me up and carried me as we walked the beach. We tried altering his dream body to reflect his actual form, but the only part we successfully changed were his eyes. It was still a delight to dream with him, even if he didn't look right.

 

I wonder if more deliberate visualization practice would make my headmates' dream appearances more consistent? 🤔 If anyone has any experience in this regard, we'd love to hear about it!

I haven't been dream journal or actively practicing lucid dreaming for some months, but I hit a lucid dreaming milestone out of the blue last week!

 

There have been times when I've started to suspect I'm dreaming and "woken up" (false awakening), and those false awakenings always kill my near-lucidity. My subconscious even dropped an obvious hint one time when I was a teenager in the form of an ad for a site called lucidkids.com plastered on my bedroom wall... and I didn't buy it, because obviously I was awake /s

 

This time, in the initial dream, I was playing a weird video game. I don't remember the details now, but I remember thinking, "I usually end up inside video games I play in dreams. I should wake up so I don't end up in this one." Then, I woke up, and I noticed my curtains and blinds were open. I thought that was strange, since I remembered closing them before going to bed, so I looked at my hands to check if I was dreaming. Sure enough, I was.

 

I realized I didn't have any plan or goals and was afraid I might waste the dream (I don't LD regularly) or just wake up if I didn't find something to do, but then Steve Harvey appeared, and I figured that meant I'd play Family Feud.

 

But no. He attacked me, and we got into this anime-style fight (well, I was just trying to protect myself) for about half a minute before he inexplicably got teleported outside, which was a relief.

 

Suddenly, I was in the basement of my church (which doesn't have a basement IRL, but I didn't question it), facing a door. I remembered one method of teleportation in lucid dreams is to find a door and imagine the place you want to go on the other side, but then I either sensed Kayleigh behind me or decided to summon her instead (I don't remember which). I had some doubt I'd be able to see her, and when I turned around, she was invisible, just like when she "appears" in the real world. She confirmed after I woke up that she was present, though.

 

Anyway, next, I noticed a bulletin board and decided to take a look at it. What was posted on it kept changing, but then I remembered that I was dreaming and took it as a sign the dream was destabilizing. I read everything I could aloud, even as it was changing, in an effort to stabilize the dream. I don't remember any of it now, but that continued until I woke up.

 

I don't remember any dreams from this past week aside from a couple bizarre nightmares about work one night that made me relieved to be back at my actual workplace, where technology generally behaves and elevators aren't terrifying.

[ReallyArtificial]

Lenore woke me up from a nightmare last night! I won't get much into the details of the dream because it was pretty unpleasant. All that needs to be said is I was alone with an injured bird, and every time I looked at it its injuries became worse. I was starting to full-on panic because I didn't know what to do, when I suddenly felt someone standing beside me.

 

A voice said, "you know this is a dream, right? You can just wake up." I didn't recognize the voice as Lenore's, but I took its advice and immediately woke up. Only then did I realize she was the one who spoke to me. The thing that made it click was that Lenore was alert and active the instant we were awake. That's extremely unusual for us, as normally we all need a few minutes to buffer before we can think clearly in the morning. I wasn't even fully alert, but she was already giving orders reminding me to write the dream down and talking about what she wanted to do today. 

 

I've successfully lucid dreamed my way out of nightmares before, but this was the first time one of my headmates did it for me. It's kinda interesting to me that Lenore is so far the only one who has become lucid without me doing so first, and she's done it multiple times, at that! ((I'm just built different. 💁🏻‍♀️ -L))

So many dreams, so so many. Every kind you can imagine. My systemmates are often in my dreams now, as often as I am you could say. They're often now lucid but they're also often very good so who cares.

 

It just feels normal now. I remember when it was a rare thing. We do spend a lot of time together in our books, and that feels as real as reality, so it makes sense. It's been building up to this for years and keeps getting better. But my dreams have been wonderful with them for years now.

I have taken a notice that my dreams regarding Cheryl lately have been strangely mundane, fundamentally they're either about us doing stuff or her possessing me (and doing stuff).

 

My crackhead theory about dreams is that 

Spoiler

they are our mind temporarily peering into one of many (infinite) alternate realities / universes, and when it happens to us (someone else dreaming "our life") we get that sense of deja-vu.

 

Regardless, I've had plenty of lucid dreams with Cheryl over the years. I'm fortunate enough to be able to WILD/DILD quite consistently by just.. napping after lunch or during the day - the body crashes but the mind stays awake, and my adhd overthinking self just "notices" being in a dream. Sometimes I've had Cheryl wake me up in a dream and it's quite weird, because as we conversate I slowly doze off and suddenly she goes "you know we're dreaming right?" and I'm like "huh?" as I gain "awareness" in the dream.

 

The best dream I've ever had tupper related happened years ago, don't even remember exactly when, but I remember the feeling. It was just me being at school and I was watching from afar Cheryl sitting at a students desk, surrounded by people - she was chatting with them and they were all laughing. The scene, although mundane, filled me up with joy and I remember waking up feeling the happiest I've ever been in my life. Is that maybe what fatherhood feels like? Ramble ramble

Lenore and I shared a long and detailed (although not lucid) dream last night. The overall gist of it was that I had moved into a new apartment complex, and she happened to be one of my neighbors. Her appearance in the dream was super accurate, but due to weird dream logic, neither of us recognized each other. We acted like strangers who just happened to really hit it off.

 

We met when I got lost trying to find my apartment. After encountering numerous rude and unhelpful people, I finally ran into Lenore, who happened to live right next door to my new place. After she showed me where to go, I invited her to join me for dinner with some of my family.

 

We were given a ride to the restaurant by a random woman I didn't recognize. She drove like a maniac, and we had several near misses which terrified me but didn't bother Lenore one bit. We made it in one piece and grabbed a booth while we waited for my family. We spent a while talking — I don't remember much of what was said, but I remember thinking "she's super weird, we're gonna be such good friends!" We were also relentlessly flirting with each other, and I was shocked that this beautiful lady was even giving me the time of day.

 

My family arrived, we had a weird awkward dinner that's not really relevant here, and Lenore invited me back to her place to keep hanging out. Once again, I couldn't recall most of the details of our conversation. At one point she told me that her dad was Geddy Lee, and even showed me a picture. I was like, "wow, that's so cool, I love Rush," and then she told me she doesn't talk to him much because he was an abusive jerk (apologies to Mr. Lee, I'm sure that's not true lol).

 

I found it really funny that our brain picked him as her dad. He does have dark curly hair so I guess there's a tiny bit of logic to it? Still weird though 😂

Title: The Evolution of Xeno-Colloid VII's Inhabitants

Author: RachelTheFictionkin (Me)

Category: Dream Journal

Date: 10th April, 2026

Synopsis: Learning a bit of historical lore.

 

I had a dream about Clouse and his world last night. I was in a mech traveling through space and found the planet Xeno-Colloid VII, where Clouse lives. Like a video game, I could select to enter it at different time periods. I first went there in a prehistoric timeline where the slime people were monstrous giants and human scientists were taking samples of the place for further research. Clouse wouldn't have existed back then, so I went back out and entered a later timeline.
 

Some were still giants while others were in tribal development stages. I went back out and, many years later, returned. Now there was a lack of human scientists and the giants were much smaller, looking like anthro slimes similar to Clouse; they had little dwellings and communities. I asked around for Clouse and someone directed me to a little spring in a grove. I saw Clouse, but he was a child wearing black clothing, talking to someone by the water. I figured he wouldn't recognize me since we didn't meet until he was much older, so I left the planet and returned years later. I asked around for Clouse again and a man told me he was at some place, so I was heading there, but eventually I woke up.

Title: Hey is that Zack I see

Author: RachelTheFictionkin (Me)

Category: Dream Journal

Date: 17th April, 2026
Synopsis: I'm impressed at how I can dream about multiple headmates at once.
 

My nap dream was pretty wild. Knife the Bisharp, Blade the Bisharp, Guntō the Kingambit, Zack the Goblin and Roofie the Giblin were in it. At one point I stupidly got into a lake not knowing how to swim and some large fish thing headed toward me as I tried to paddle back, calling out to Roofie who was at the surface to help me.
 

Then there was a part where Zack as a human and some others were trying to wash themselves in a small shower room and put on clothes for an event next door. They tried to keep the door closed because they were covered in feces and didn't want anyone to see. But someone came in and forgot to shut the door behind them and that's when Guntō (I guess in human form too) walked in, surprised to see Zack. He was very excited and friendly, saying "Hey! Is that Zack I see?!" in broken English and how he's so happy to see him, etc.
 

After Guntō left, Zack mentioned how my "favorite Pokémon" were at the event, telling the guy beside him that it was a Bisharp and a shiny-colored Bisharp, saying Blade is the shiny one who is flirty and Knife is the other one who is kind. Some other guy remarked that Zack and Blade would argue over whether survival or gaining muscles was better (or something). Zack was rushing to get cleaned up because he was too afraid to have Knife and Blade see him in that state. But there was some random cat in the shower room and everyone was tethered to it. Zack tried to stop it from dragging everyone to the event room outside the door. Zack ended up flipped over with his pants half down as he was brought into the gymnasium-sized area where a bunch of humans from Pokémon and other Pokémon characters were gathered in seats. Zack was scanning the room to see if he could spot Blade and Knife but I woke up soon afterward.

I dreamt that one of my coworkers found out I had tulpas and sent me a Slack message explaining they were actually a system of 38 and needed advice. I silently hoped they weren't a traumagenic system because I'd probably have no idea how to help with their problem, but I heard them out. They sent me a crapton of context I don't remember now leading up to some really mundane question about meals in headspace.
