HOME SWEET HOME?

Hi everyone :D  This one might be a bit of a confusing read, but hopefully it makes sense enough, lol.  

 

*Old Dream - November 20 2016

***  

I travelled to an unknown location and there was a big house.  I had to stay there for a while.  My father and sister were also in the home along with some unrelated kids.  In the beginning things were okay even tough I always had a weird feeling about the place.  

Later on strange things started to happen and it turned out there were ghosts (small haunted dolls) that were making mischief and I had to get rid of them.  I managed to talk a few of them into leaving the house but there were two that had to be put into a mini fridge to stop their antics.  One of the ghosts didn't like being in the fridge though and pleaded to be let go, it threatened that things would get worse if I left it in there.  

At first things were good, but then things got really strange.  One night my sister was talking to me and had to go to the washroom.  When I was walking up the stairs with her to the washroom I saw another copy of my sister standing in the washroom already using the sink :O  

My sister that I was walking with didn't seem phased, maybe she didn't notice and just did her business and left the washroom.  So I left the area too, and then to my right coming down the stairs from the third floor, another copy of my sister.  And then just a little ahead of me standing inside a room; a third copy of my sister :O  

All of the copies of my sister looked at me when passing by, but they never looked at each other as if they couldn't even see one another.  It felt like I was seeing my sister from different dimensions all at once.  It was a very strange feeling, and I wanted to get out of the house, but before that I wanted to check the ghosts were still in the fridge.  When I opened the fridge only one of the ghosts were there :O  The one that was gone popped up behind me and asked if I wanted to leave the house (with multi-sisters), I said yes, I want it back to normal.  

I closed my eyes for a quick second, and after opening them, I saw I was in the same house, but everything was different, like furniture, people, wallpaper.  There was a mom and her two kids, and when I started talking to the mom, it was as if I had known her a long time because she was really friendly and not afraid of me.  

She told me of her kids' obsession with robot toys and said they had a gigantic collection.  She even let me open all the closet doors and draws to see the robots which were mostly transformers.  I was thinking my husband would have been in heaven to see that collection, lol.

After looking at all the robots I had to leave the house since it wasn't my place anymore and when I left I realized it wasn't the same year I was living in before.  It was some time in the past, maybe 1960's, 70's (I saw the date somewhere but can't remember exactly where).  

After roaming around the streets for sometime I bumped into some "friends" (pretty much some teens that knew me but I didn't know them).  We hung out for a while talking about things like school and what to do next.  It was a nice time, but I knew I had to find a way back to my real home and that was when I woke up.

***

Being in the house with multiple copies of my sister was one of the weirdest dream experiences ever.  But exploring the drawers with all the toys was one of the funnest, lol.

What would you guys do if you saw multiple versions of someone you know all at the same time?

THE MAGIC WITHIN

Hi everyone :D  I really enjoyed this fun fantasy adventure dream.  It was a nice break from the usual, lol.  Hope you enjoy too!

 

*Old Dream - September 19 2016

*** 

I was an anime character that had magical powers and whenever I used the magic, a gem stone would appear on my forehead.  The gem was the main source of my powers and was removable while it was out (a fact that will be relevant later on).  I was travelling with at least one other person who was the main male character (I don't remember what skills he had or even his name, lol).

We came upon a town that was being attacked by monsters so we (me and the main character) decided to protect the people.  The monsters ran away pretty soon after the fight started.  The town's people wanted to thank us by allowing us to stay and enjoy their hospitality free of charge (even when buying supplies! :D)

However, the town was ruled by a "Queen" who wasn't as nice or thankful.  She said since I was an "outsider" I had to leave my powers with her while on their grounds.  Though in reality it was because of a couple of reasons:

1. The "Queen's" personality wasn't the best nor sincere so her magical powers weren't as strong as mine and she felt threatened.

2.  There was a male character (not the main male), who the "Princess" wanted to make into her Prince, but he was seen talking to me and so she got jealous.

I wanted to stay for a while and my travel companion also wanted to explore a bit so I gave my gem up for holding.  The one thing she didn't know was that if I used enough of my own energy I was still able to use magic even without the gem, but it would just take a lot out of me. 

When night came, there was another monster attack on the town and I (without the gem) used protective magic on the people to shield them.  The "Queen", not thinking about anyone else just ran and hid to protect herself even though she had magic powers too.  She even saw the monster about to deal a deadly hit to the main male character and still did nothing :|  Thankfully I used my magic to shield him and he was able to finish the off the monster (phew!).

***

Magical powers are always fun to play with, yes?  Although I used mostly protective spells it was still a fun time and it's always nice helping people :D

As you may have noticed, I kept using quotation marks around the words relating to royalty ("Queen", "Princess").  That was because I didn't feel they were fulfilling their roles properly so I didn't dub them so, even though the dream did, lol.

And as always, thanks for reading! :D 

PLAY TO MEET

Hi everyone!  Sorry for such delays, this month had been so busy :O  Anyway, continuing on with the gaming theme (like the previous entry), I headed into another gaming competition, and met another guy, lol.  Enjoy!

 

*Old Dream - May 17 2016

*** 

There was a big gaming competition going on and I met a guy named Rob while attending the event.  His gamertag was "Muttle something", I couldn't remember the second part.  I learned that he was a small time gamer until he got really good and became one of the top-ranking players worldwide.  

The game itself was rounds-based and was very random in terms of what was needed to win each time.  In short, every round had it's own objective.  

Eg.  One round was to grab a special item and keep it in your possession the longest.  Another round dealt with words and sentencing, and you had to keep judges entertained.  

The player's HUD display would start as a four-sided diamond shape then change into a hexagon after ranking up enough.  I found that really neat!  

I played the game quite a bit too, but wasn't as hardcore even though I was good enough get first place during some rounds. There were also competitions where scores were tallied after a set of rounds (like 10 rounds) and you only scored a point if you won the round.  

Rob and I didn't know each other too well, but we sat beside each other during the competition and talked between rounds and helped each other out (even though he was already top-ranking, lol).  He also wanted to hangout after the current round, and I said yes :)

Thanks for reading! :D  Gaming dreams are always fun, lol.  Sometimes I wonder if any of the game mechanics I've dreamed about have become reality?  Especially since there've been so much advancement in technology and programming. 

CHAT TO PLAY

Hi everyone :D  

Have you ever played video games while chatting with friends?  Well, how about playing a video game that depended on chatting?  Here's what one might look like, lol.  

Also to note, this one is pretty long (and long-winded XD), I hope everything makes sense.  Enjoy! 

 

*Old Dream - May 15 2016

*** 

My sister signed up for an online chatting service.  It was for people to meet each other either as friends or for starting relationships.  There was a catch though, it was a gaming chatting service where chatting helped to unlock game/boss areas, or make them easier by getting rid of obstacles.  I didn't know about that until after I did a bit of chatting myself.

There was a time when my sister left her computer on but had left the room for a very long time without telling the guy she was chatting with so when he was messaging asking where she was I decided to message back so he didn't have to keep wondering and waiting.  I told the guy my sister was busy at the moment and will come back later.  The guy said thanks and asked if I wanted to chat sometime.  I said okay since I figured it might be a good way to snoop on the guy for my sister, lol.  

The chat service was interesting in another way because all the chats were public so you could look at conversations as they going on and then request to be part of the chat if you wanted to.  Though most members knew to stay away from chats between two people, as a courtesy.  The site was pretty overwhelming seeing all the convos going on but then when I started the chat with the guy, it was okay.  I could ignore everything else.  

We started with chats about the usual topics like name, and location.  His name was Tim.  When I asked where he lived he showed me a world map with the city highlighted.  It was a place southwest of Toronto.  It was cool to find out he lived nearby.  

Then we got to chatting about other things like why he was using the service.  He said he was just trying to meet people, find new friends, play the game.  That's when I found out this was a game-chat type thing.  He said the more you converse with someone, the easier the game levels become.  You can go in yourself, but you'd pretty much get killed all the time.  As well, the game always restarted at the last level that was beaten by the "host" player.  So pretty much he wanted to chat some to weaken the stage and then start the game (chat continues, of course, lol)

After chatting for a few days he asked if I wanted to try the game and I agreed.  The game was quite pixelated and it was a dungeon-type stage with stone walls and floor. And there was a dragon monster in the center of the stage.  It was kind of hectic with stones falling around us and the stage shaking since we didn't chat too much to rid of those obstacles but it was fun.  We were each controlling a knight that could jump and fight with a sword.  We died in the end, but as a first time it was a decent run, and we had a good laugh.  We got squashed by falling stones, lol.  

Then I told him I had to go, and he ended the session with a custom pixel animation of a "vampire-like" figure coming and bowing with a cape in front of his face and then disappearing into floating pink petals.  I thought it was really cool :D  

The next day he told me an event was going to take place the following day where chatters could go and play the game in real life.  I was like, "really?"  (He was serious.  I was wondering why he didn't ask my sister, and I was feeling weird since I was married, but it seemed like a unique opportunity).  I told my sister so she could come along too if she wanted.  

There were many people at the event area, we decided to meet at a nearby restaurant.  I thought it was gonna be weird meeting in person, but it wasn't.  He was a bit taller than me, a little plump and round, with short brown hair.  We shook hands and introduced ourselves; his name was Tim (as mentioned previously). Then we starting getting ready for the game.  The event was for "couples", so only sets of two could register.  It didn't mean you had to really be in a relationship with your partner.  

The objective of the event was to get the most points by the end of the stages. All participants were fitted with fighting gear (padded armour, gloves, helmet, and a sword).  About 4 couples were sent in at once.  

The same monster we fought while on the computer was on the first stage, so I was hacking at it and things were all good until my partner got killed by a team mate :O  I went to him and was crying because I couldn't understand it.  Then the guy who killed him came back and killed me saying they don't care who they have to kill, they just wanted to win :(

So me and Tim were lying on the floor dying, and the dream faded out for a moment, then faded back showing a victory party happening for the winning couples being catered to by the losing couples.  I didn't know of this condition :| 

As the night winded down and people start leaving, Tim told me there's a special training booth where we can preview all the game monsters.  He was angry at those jerks for killing him off, so he asked if I wanted to train for the next time so we can kick those jerks' butts, and I said "of course!" XD.  He said even though it was such a rough start, he still had lots of fun and was happy to meet me.  I said it was nice meeting him too :)

Then the scene fades for a moment and I "wake up" seeing my sister chatting at the computer...?  I was confused.  I asked her if she had ever left the computer so long I had to reply for her and she said no, she never leaves for more than a few minutes while chatting.  Then I asked her what day she started chatting.  She said Monday.  It was currently Thursday night.  

So after piecing it together, it seemed I was "chatting" with the guy only in my dreams since Monday (if that makes any sense).  It all felt so real :|   But I was relieved because then it meant I didn't steal my sister's potential boyfriend, nor did I "cheat" on my husband.  Not that we kissed or anything anyway, it was just a friendly meeting.  But you know how it would look, lol.  

Then I woke up for real. 

***

If you managed to get through that, thank you!  I think a game-type chatting service would be really fun and neat.  I was really blown away by the "vampire" outro from the guy, and to this day still remember how it went.  I wish I could have recorded it, but 'tis the dreaming life, lol.

What do you guys think?  Would you want to meet new people by using such a chatting service?   

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS

Hi everyone, this dream is written as two parts since I don't remember how I got from one to the other.  It's also quite weird in my opinion, but I feel there is much to get from it, lol.  

 

*Old Dream - April 9 2016

*** 

First part:

Me and my sister went to the same school and shared a locker, but one day when I was looking for a specific blanket in there I couldn't find it.  Then my mom pops up and says she moved it back home because the blanket wasn't good enough.  The blanket was good enough to me though because it was fluffy and warm. I kept telling her to bring it back and she said no.  She brought me a new blanket but I didn't like it and was yelling for my old blanket.  Finally she said I could take it back if I could find it again in the house.  

 

Second part:

I was in school and was listening to a guest speaker in a large room with many other people attending as well.  There were some kids beside me and when the lecture was over the kids were still there because their parents didn't come to pick them up yet.  I told them I'd wait with them.  There was also one other guy who seemed to be sleeping in a chair, maybe he got bored, lol.

Eventually the kids' parents came and I was free to go but I was stopped by the speaker because he saw what I did and was hoping I'd be willing to help out with a presentation session for learning valuable skills the next day.  I agreed, though on second thought, maybe I shouldn't have.

I was in charge of setting up a mushroom-themed kitchen.  I needed a fridge from the speaker's place as well as set up a sink with shiitake mushrooms for faucet handles, and an oven that was mushroom-shaped.  I also needed mushrooms for decorations :O 

I was in the middle of looking up how to complete the mushroom setup when a woman burst through the lecture room doors saying she needed help from the speaker.  The speaker followed the woman as she ran across the school yard then suddenly she sped off behind a wall and pulled out a gun. 

When the speaker caught up to her, he though she was gonna was going to hurt someone so he quickly wrestled with her for the gun which she thankfully dropped and then she started to explain herself.  

Years ago when the speaker attended a lecture, there was a scholarship giveaway and he was the one who got the winning slip, but since he didn't need it he gave it to one of his students that happened to be the daughter of the woman.  As she was attending the lecture too, she saw that her daughter accepted the scholarship meaning she was gonna go to this school and the mother did not like that one bit and so she came out for crazy revenge.

***

 

I must say, I have no idea what this dream was trying to tell me, if there was any deeper meaning to this, lol.  The only common connection to both parts is it was dealing with mothers trying to get what they want versus what their children want.  But can that really be all?  Seems like a convoluted way to send a message, no? lol.  And what were all the mushrooms for? XD  

Thank you as always for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

AURAS

Hi everyone :D  This was kind of a strange dream, but intriguing enough to jot down.  Hope you enjoy it!  

 

*Old Dream - March 28 2016

*** 

I could see people's "energy/aura" on the floor where they stepped (like glowing underneath the feet).  Not everyone had an aura, just some. 

The first one I saw was a very dark red/black aura - kind of like a big pool of blood

Then I saw a light blue glimmery blue aura - sort of like water 

I had an aura too, and mine was light purple.  Kind of the same glimmeriness as the blue, but it's purple.  Most people who had auras had the light purple.  

The place where I saw these auras was a big wind tunnel where someone was trying to hang glide for the equivalent of 500m (staying in the air for a certain amount of time).  It was going well, but then someone thought things were getting dangerous and shut off the wind power.  That's when I first saw the red/black colour flood the floor.  I think it was just a vision because when I walked on the floor, the colour was gone and I started seeing other auras.

Then eventually there was mud on the floor which covered up the aura colours, and that's when I left the tunnel to search for the person who had the light blue aura.

*** 

The most crazy thing after re-reading this after all these years is that me and my husband got our aura's photographed recently (in 2025), and they matched the colours in my dream.  Both for me and my husband :O  Is this just coincidence or something else?  

We had already been married by the time I had my dream, so that's not the coincidence, but maybe that when things go awry, the best person for me to go to would be my husband?  

What do you guys think?   

INSPIRATION

Hi everyone :D  Have you ever had an artist's block?  (or other kind of block in creativity?)  I have, and I can only imagine this dream was trying to help me out of it.  I wonder if you'd feel the same?

 

*Old Dream - February 20, 2016

*** 

I was in an art school where a famous artist was visiting to teach about ideas and how they can be inspired (or something like that)

The artist's name was Amelia.  She focused on water colour art, but she worked with paints that changed to clear when wet with water but becomes visible when dry.  

She had a painting up on the wall and then she wet it using a watering can to reveal a message that was written underneath.  I don't remember what it said exactly, but it was along the lines of:

"Inspiration can come from anywhere, ideas are your own creation"

Pretty much saying that art is so much more than what others thinks looks good, and that art can be an expression of anything we are interested in.

There was a group of booklets on the table that Amelia had put together over the years as an artist, and from those she recommended three to me.  These booklets were sort of like a collection of ideas, but each one had different art styles and content or notes.  When I picked up one that was not being recommended she said "not that one", I wondered what was inside....

I also had an assignment due for class which I didn't finish.  It was to use water colours to express myself without thinking too much about the content.  Pretty much, challenging me to let my insecurities go and paint from what I felt was right for me.

*** 

 

I've been in and out when it comes to creating art, but one thing's for sure; when I haven't been creative for a long time, I miss it a lot.  Thankfully my mind is always coming up with new ideas and I really want to get them out, but I don't know how :|  

I'm hoping that one day I'll realize at least a few of my big ideas (writing a book, making a movie, writing a song).  Do any of you have ideas you want to put out into the world too and are stuck like me?
