MAKING FRIENDS

Hi everyone :D  Do you enjoy the company of your friends?  Well, that's pretty much what I was doing this time.  Just hanging out and having fun with some dream friends, lol. 

This dream has two halves since the scenarios are quite different from each other and I wanted to clearly note that.  Enjoy!

 

*Old Dream - April 12, 2019

*** 

1st half

I became friends with a guy named Tommy and hung out with him and his friends.  We played a PvP MMO (Player vs Player Massively Multiplayer Online) type video game, and there was a huge battle.  

When we started playing, the point-of-view changed from me seeing the game on a TV screen to me being the actual in-game character.  I had big burly armour, it was so cool :D  There were a bunch of other players too, but the one I remember most was one that looked like a giant caveman.  I think he was leading the battle on our side.

After our group won the battle, he walked around with a bunch other players while announcing our victory loudly, lol.  Everyone was cheering and just enjoying the win.  Then the point-of-view changed to me back in the normal world lying on a sofa holding a controller. 

The room was pastel blue, the sofa was grey and soft, and there were a light brown squarish coffee table.  Tommy was really happy and came over to say "high five!", but our first attempt failed because he held his hand too high and my hand slapped his arm instead (I was still lying on the sofa).  Then we tried again and we managed the high five, yay! :D  

 

2nd half:

I became friends with some people, from the cast of the show "Big Bang Theory".  There was Penny, Leonard, and a Sheldon-type character, but not sure if it was really him.  I think Tommy was there too.  

I was the newest one to their group and was quite confused at first when they yelled, "shots!", and then everyone started looking around for something.  It turned out they were looking for shot glasses because whenever they watched something particular on TV; I think it was sports, they would drink a shot for some reason.  Maybe it was just a little tradition of theirs.  

Eventually when "shots" was yelled, I had my "designated" area to look around which was under the sofa cushion.  And funny enough, most of the time there was a shot glass there, lol.  

Then following day, Penny, Leonard, and at least one other person came into the TV room and started mixing a cocktail of soap and other colourful liquids together in a big bin.  I was quite confused, then someone explained that they were outside and got really dirty and had to clean themselves off before watching the game.  They weren't happy about having to dunk themselves in the mixture but they knew it would be the fastest way.  Especially since the TV show was gonna come on soon. 

*** 

Yeah, I don't know about "dream me", but the real me is surprised at how quickly I befriended anyone, as I'm quite shy in real life, lol.  The experiences from both parts were fun though :D  Thanks for much for reading! 

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

Hi everyone :D  Have you ever felt nostalgic for the past, or wondering what the future could be like?  This one's a bit rambly and long, but hopefully it makes sense and is coherent enough.  There are two parts, but I think they both share the theme of time and change.  What do you think?  Enjoy!  

*Old Dream - April 12 2018

*** 

First Part:

It was really dark, and I was barely able to see anything but could tell it was nighttime, that I was indoors and sitting on something.  After taking a bit of time to orient myself and let night vision kick in, it turned out I was sitting on a toilet, and I had my pants down :O  This wouldn't have been so worrying except for the fact that I was in the middle of one of my neighbour's living room :O

I pulled up my pants in a panic and flushed the toilet (why did I do that?!).  Then I started hearing my neighbours talking about a "strange noise".  I ran out of the front door as fast and as quietly as possible.  Halfway down the hall (I lived in a condo), I realized I needed to lock the door.  I had their spare key so I went back and very, very slowly pushed the key in and began turning the lock.  I heard my neighbours fully awake and talking, and then heard the toilet flush.  I took that opportunity to finish locking the door hoping they couldn't hear it through the flush.  Phew!

I ran back to my suite as fast as possible, but before going in I wanted to check my clothes closet which was located in the hallway just to the right of my suite door.  Though, after rifling through for a bit, I was very confused because I didn't recognize any of the clothes.  Then my immediate neighbour to the right came out and asked what I was doing in his closet, and I told him it's supposed to be my closet.  He's like, "No no no, your closet is on the other side", referring to the left side of my door, then I told him that's not right because then my left side neighbour wouldn't have a closet due to space limitations.  The guy firmly said, "That's just how it works 'now'".  I was so confused, because I knew everyone was supposed to have a closet, but I just thanked him for the info, and went inside.

My husband was sleeping, but I woke him up hastily because I just had to confirm something.  He was quite groggy and in shock.  I asked him what year it was and he said, "1998, no wait, it's 2002.  Yeah, 2002".  He even went to a calendar and showed me it was indeed 2002.  He tried going back to bed but I was so confused and kept asking him how that could be?  In my mind it was 2018 (present time at the time of dreaming), so any date that far back seemed ridiculous.  He thought I was just being crazy and needed some sleep.  I told him about the closet, and he said "yeah, what about it?".  He didn't remember the closet system the way I did.

There was no helping it, somehow I went back into the past, even though I don't remember it ever being like that.  So I had no choice but to go to sleep, and then...

 

Second Part:

I was in a mall I'd frequented in real life, but everything looked different, it was more high tech.  It was still 2002, I could feel it was the same time period as the first part, but things seemed way more advanced. The store displays, doorways, lighting, and so much more were controlled by gadgets.  

The mall was under renovations though so there were some barrier walls and unfinished areas.  I was there to meet a friend, Nadia, for lunch, but she wanted to see one of her other friends first.  Her friend worked at a jewellery/chocolate shop.  Yes, quite the strange combo, but it seemed like it was working since there were many customers so we had to wait until things quieted down.  

During the busy time, I wandered around to nearby shops and encountered a young lady.  She was on a bench eating some really yummy-looking food.  I asked her where she got it, she said it was from the food court.  I was going to say thanks and leave, but she continued talking.  She wasn't really a fan of the high-tech setup, she liked things the way they were before; more engaging and more personal.  I agreed wholeheartedly.  She looked happy I felt the same way.  Then I saw Nadia signal for me so I left the bench-lady.  

In the jewellery/chocolate shop now, Nadia was talking with her friend while I looked around.  I saw some chocolates in a display case and asked about the prices.  Her friend opened up the case and I looked at the bottom of a small square box (could fit about 4 pieces), it was $19.99... :|   Then I saw a few loose pieces beside the boxes and asked, "how much?".  The friend said, "twenty-five cents".  I got one, as I was quite hungry at the time.  The friend looked at me like I made a bad purchase, but compared to $19.99, it was a steal.  It wasn't special chocolate, but still tasted fine, it was like a round chocolate ball with a smooth filling inside.  

Nadia wanted to chat with her friend longer, but I was getting really hungry so I suggested that I go ahead.  She was okay with that so I made my way to the food court, and funny enough I saw the lady from earlier.  The lady saw me too and smiled.  I asked if I could sit beside her and she said "yes".  

While I was getting settled, she said she liked the music I was listening to.  Not sure what she was talking about though, maybe I was humming a tune...?  She said that genre of music strengthened her spirit, gave her energy, and instilled confidence. 

She then mentioned that she had a daughter whom she'd been teaching judo (or some other kind of defense style).  She said her daughter was only four but when they practiced together, her daughter was quite fearsome.  

The scene then cut to show them fighting in a ring, and the daughter jumped and latched onto the lady's (mom's) leg and didn't let go until a signal was given.  

I was like, "wow, that's one tough kid!"  Then I saw Nadia walking towards me so I said bye to the lady again.  She seemed really nice :)  

Around this time I woke up though I felt there could have been a little more to my dream.  

*** 

Thanks for reading!  I hope that wasn't too confusing or rambly, lol. 

Have you ever found yourself in a potentially embarrassing situation and then just barely made it out?  Well, that has to happen to me many a time through my life.  Now if only I could stop dreaming about embarrassing situations, lol.

From the second part, I wonder what music the lady heard?  Music is a big part of my life too and depending on what I'm listening to, I can feel changes to my mood and energy levels.  Does music have an effect on you?  Let me know :D

PROPS TO MUSIC -- (two dreams) --

Hi everyone :D  I got a "two-for-one-er" here this week.  Sometimes I have multiple dreams over the course of the night and this was one of those times.  Sometimes the dreams are connected by theme or other, but I'm not sure if I can find any connection with the following two.  Though, maybe you guys can?  Enjoy!

 

*Old Dream - April 10 2018

*** 

First Dream:

I was helping out with a skit for a Youtuber called RH (fake name).  He was in the planning stages and was deciding what props to buy so he asked everyone to pick something.  

There was a catalogue to look through and when I turned to a page with swords I asked him, "What about these?".  He said, "Yes", I should get one, but since there were quite many I asked him to pick.  

He pointed to a wide-bladed sword that was reddish-orange and said, "That one".  

I then asked, "Are you sure?", since the price was $5000.  

He replied, "Yes!  I'm sure." 

A little time passed and all the props got delivered.  RH and a teammate were goofing around with some props in a fenced area.  When I walked towards them with the sword, RH says I can't play with it because it's so expensive; it can only be used for the scenes and that's it.  For additional info, the sword was actually really sharp and he didn't want it getting nicked so he could return it after the skit.  I figured safety would have been the bigger issue, but I guess not :|  

RH then said he was upset I would pick such an expensive item.  When I reminded him it was his choice he didn't believe me, but thankfully the other teammates were around and backed me up.  

He didn't say too much after that, but I decided to return the sword and get a cheaper prop anyway :|

*** 

And now, onto the Second Dream:

I was in an office workplace and finishing up some last-minute tasks.  It was pretty late so I was glad to be done.  Another employee named Jessy was there also finishing up.  He reminded me that the next day we had to pick up some supplies from a warehouse that was located far away from the city.

After a long bus ride the following day, we reached the warehouse.  It looked so weird for a place that had office supplies.  The building looked more like a farmhouse since some of the rooms had hay on the floor, and there were also cage bars on some doors.

There wasn't anyone at the warehouse so we had to look around for the supplies ourselves, but by the time we found everything we needed, the buses weren't running anymore and we were tired :|  There were no taxis either, and it was a pretty deserted place so staying the night was the safest option.  I found a nice hay spot and had no trouble getting comfy, but Jessy didn't like the setting.  

I offered him my iPod and headphones since he could try listening to music, but he didn't want to.  We ended up talking for part of the night before both falling asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I was happy to see Jessy had decided to listen to my music after all.  He said he really liked two songs.  One song was from a singer named Brandy; the second one, I forgot the group's name but was a song I'd heard many times before.

He continued listening to the songs while we headed to town with the supplies.  Funny enough the travel back took so long it became night again, so we each ended up heading home instead of to the office (yes, we took the supplies home, lol).

The only caveat was that nighttime was supposedly really dangerous and Jessy was feeling very weary.  I suggested he borrow my iPod to help keep him calm and thankfully he agreed.

The next morning while in my bed, I heard two songs playing one after the other, and thought, "Oh, those are Jessy's songs, but why would I hear them here?".  I asked my husband if he heard any music and he said, "No", but went to the kitchen to check in case it was a neighbour.  He told me there was nothing and went back to sleep.  I also stopped hearing it and went back to sleep.  

Soon after, I woke up again hearing the music, though this time I felt the iPod and headphones near me (the music was actually playing over the scene rather from the headphones).  I got a happy feeling that Jessy made it back home safely :) 

Then I woke up for real, lol.

*** 

Thanks for reading!  I really enjoyed the second dream because music almost always gets me into a feel-good mood, and nostalgic (in a nice way).  I just wish I remembered what the other song was since the last time I heard it was during my high school years.  If I remember correctly, the lyrics went something like:

 "--------  -----, and I'll be there" 

I think it was an old 1990's/2000's pop song by a male singer or group.  The lyrics may or may not be like that (as dreams can be confusing sometimes).  And to be clear, it was not the song "I'll be there", lol.  If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears :D

 

MALWARE MAYHEM 2

Hi everyone :D  I'm a little early for once with my weekly entry!  Anyway, this one revisits a little annoying bug from a previous dream (Malware Mayhem).  Thankfully this one wasn't as mind bending and was only for part of the dream, but it was still annoying, lol.  Enjoy!

*Old Dream - April 7, 2018

 

*** 

I don't know how it got infected again, but when the virus took effect I was on a Word-like program typing something and then the words got jumbled together and none of the commands worked.  The screen got pixelated and blocky with blues, greens and black until finally settling on red.  That's how I knew it was the same virus as before.... 

My sister was with me at the time when the virus took over and instead of helping, she hindered my attempts to fix it.  When I was using the keyboard to put the computer into safe mode she kept typing stuff too and when I asked what she's doing, she said she really needed to pay her bills.  And I was like, "What the heck!?  My computer's infected, you shouldn't be doing anything personal at this time!".  But she still kept trying to type over what I was inputting so I couldn't restart my computer :|

Away from the headache of a virus now, in another part of my dream, I had to investigate an old, run-down building.  There were tall greyish, armoured monsters guarding the doors to each room, and they all had spears.  They looked kind of like the monsters in the game "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice".

I could have snuck by some but figured it'd be better to fight and clear them out instead.  But before doing that I had to find a weapon.  Lucky enough I found a spear!  But when I started fighting, it turned into a fishing pole :|  

The monsters laughed and mocked me for choosing such a flimsy weapon so I ended up using other things around the room like buckets and concrete blocks instead.  It got the fight done, but took a while (must have been the pent up rage from seeing the virus again, yes?  Lol).  

I explored other rooms too but I don't remember too much before waking up.  

***

 

I don't know about you guys, but dreaming about computer viruses are the worst :(  I'm already very tech-adverse, I don't need more reasons to be afraid of breaking or wreaking my devices somehow :|  And thank you all for reading!

DISSOCIATION

Hi everyone :D  I wasn't sure whether to post this dream or not since it was pretty weird and confusing.  But I figured since it got me thinking and feeling deep thoughts, maybe others might feel the same way about emotional situations in their lives

 

*Old Dream - August 27, 2017

***

I found out an old friend had passed away.  The strange thing was that the friend (or a copy) of said friend was still alive...?  Supposedly it was his "brother" who passed away.  I put "brother" in brackets because he didn't have a brother in real life (at least not when I knew him).

Even more strange was that I felt someone else's presence in the body; his sister's :O  However, whenever my friend spoke, it was the "brother's" side.  Talk about confusing :|

It was a very mentally taxing and saddening experience and I got really mopey since the news was so sudden and unexpected.  Not only that, no one had told me directly; I only overheard a passing comment from someone else.  It felt so unreal that was how I found out :(

I spent most of the dream talking to my friend ("brother" side) and how the situation made me feel.  He also did the same.  

***  

 

Thanks for reading!  Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of this dream, or what it was trying to convey to me.  I just know I felt very emotional back then, and I wish now that I remembered who it was about...

MALWARE MAYHEM

Hi everyone, have you ever had one of those dreams where it was hard to distinguish between real life and dreaming?  Well, this one was quite the rollercoaster while I was dreaming that both my computer and iPod got infected with malware, and it was so annoying  :|

 

*Old Dream - April 25, 2017

*** 

When trying to use my computer, I noticed all the desktop icons changed and the background wallpaper changed to a reddish brown gradient.  It sort of had the feeling of "inevitable doom"/"being in Hell" :|  

As for my iPod, I dreamt it was the next morning and grabbed the device from under my bed like I do in real life, but when I turned on the screen all my icons were gone and there were some new ones in their place.  

The iPod background also changed to a reddish brown, kind of like the computer screen, but there were My Little Pony ponies in the background too (that was unexpected!).  I remember seeing at least three ponies; a blue one (standing), a purple one (standing), and a white one (in a sleeping position with its head resting on the front legs).

I freaked out and told my husband about it.  He found it amusing, but knew it was a big problem.  I also told him about the computer and it seemed like he knew what needed to be done. 

Then I "woke up" again, and thought, "phew!", just a dream.  I grabbed for my iPod as usual, but it was the same pony image as before :(  .... This time, I was prepared and said to myself "it's just a dream, this is not real".

Then I "woke up" yet again, and of course I grabbed for my iPod to confirm it was just a bad dream, but to my sad discovery, the pony background was still there!  Same image and icons; I even tried connecting to the internet, but I couldn't type in any website as the letters didn't register properly (because of the malware).  

I couldn't believe my eyes :O  Was this for real?!  I was starting to believe it really happened, and I told my husband again and showed him how it's all ponies when I try to do anything on my iPod.  

I also showed him the computer which was still infected.  He kept asking me about the sites I went to and I told him I didn't visit any weird sites and that I had no idea how it could have happened.  He was skeptical, but had no choice but to believe me since I'm a really paranoid person and wouldn't visit strange sites except maybe by accident.

Then, once again, I "woke up".  This time I made sure to check for "realness".  Like touching the bed, and walls, and anything I could get my hands on.  Everything felt good to me and my thoughts seemed normal.  I was relieved to be finally "awake", so I grabbed for my iPod and to my horror, there were ponies everywhere! :O  

Then I saw my husband, and asked him if I had told him anything about my iPod recently and he said "no, what about it?".  So with that, I really believed it was indeed real life and accepted the fact that I would have to factory reset my iPod and computer (as I figured it'd still be infected too) :(

Then I woke up, for real, for real.  I almost didn't want to check my iPod in case it really was infected :|

***

I did not enjoy all those false awakenings at all since I was repeatedly faced with infected devices (one of my worst nightmares).  I've had to factory reset my computer at least three times in the past, and it never gets any easier to deal with :| 

Thank you all for reading and may all your devices stay safe from malicious intentions!

DON'T LET GO!

 Hi everyone :D  

This one is a bit long, and may get confusing at a point, but hopefully I explained things enough to make sense, lol.  Also to note, I am more of a viewer  rather than participant of this dream until close to end.

 

*Old Dream - February 5, 2017

*** 

A friend and I was watching a TV show about 2 police officers; one was a woman and the other was a man.  They went to a financial agency to discuss borrowing a large sum of money which got approved.

In the next scene the policeman who borrowed money was frantically telling his colleagues that he saw on the news that the policewoman got shot through the head.  A colleague of the policewoman was devastated and wished she never referred the money loaning place.  Then she started wondering whether the policewoman could have survived.  Since the bullet went through from below the eye and out the back of the head on the right side.

Next scene showed the policewoman lying on a wooden floor in handcuffs but alive and without any bullet wounds.  There was also an unknown man beside her who was also in handcuffs.

Both of them started waking up and orienting themselves.  The policewoman and the man introduced themselves to each other and started chatting.  The policewoman told the man that she is a cop but that she wanted to start a new life away from the crime and danger so she faked her own death and hired people to "bury" her.  The man sympathized with her story.

Then one of the hired guys came in and took the handcuffs off saying they were on for safety purposes during transportation away from their hometowns since they were in coffin boxes.  Both the policewoman and man got up and started following the hired guy to talk to the boss who was supposed to give them instructions on how to proceed.

When they got to the boss's room all the hired guys seemed really friendly and thorough; dusting off wood chips from the policewoman and the man.  

Then the boss started talking to them saying he understood why they chose to run from their circumstances, but really in his mind, they were just abandoning responsibilities without the willingness to face consequences.  

At that point the boss motions to the hirelings and they started putting the handcuffs back on the policewoman and man and they were dragged out of the room. 

Next, we see the two of them in a room hanging for their life by the skin of their teeth, literally!  Because they were being hung above a very deep well full of alligators and the only thing between them and falling to their deaths was a piece of rope they were biting on.  However, that wasn't even the worst part.  

The worst part was that their lives also depended on three strangers who were above them being hung upside down by their legs, and they were the ones holding onto the lifeline rope for the bottom two with their teeth! 

** Describing the scene again in a different way in case it didn't make sense. Imagine two people standing upright looking up and above them there are three people upside down looking down and all of them are holding onto a single piece of rope between their teeth, while the top three are hanging by their legs.  Now remove a circular section of the floor and add a water with a bunch of alligators at the bottom of a very tall drop (I hope that helped for visualization and sense making, lol) **

Now back to it... 

Fortunately for the bottom two all of the people on the top wanted everyone to survive so none of them ever let go.  But how were they gonna get out of the situation?  

Time passed and they devised a plan; to swing the bottom two people to one of the the sides of the well so they can get on top of the ledge.  Seemed like a risky plan but somehow it managed to work, the bottom two got out and helped the top three.  Then all of a sudden light music starts playing and I (as the viewer watching the show) recognized it as the Peter Pan theme.  

Animated characters then floated out of the well and said they will help the five people escape the place.  Then they all float away and the episode ends.

And then I "woke up" to realize I fell asleep watching the TV show and thought how silly the ending was in my dream, but then moments later, the show did end the exact same way like in my dream :| 

My friend told me that while I was asleep, I hummed the Peter Pan theme and she thought it was funny until she saw how the show ended.  I told her about my dream and she thought it was really weird how it matched the show.  Then I noticed how late it was getting and told her I needed to head home.

I hopped onto a bus and then I woke up for real.  

*** 

Thanks for reading!  The boss's way of hanging the people over the well was quite something, no?  Sometimes I wonder if I was a criminal mastermind in a past life, lol.

  

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?  

SING IT FOR YOU

Hi everyone :D  Have you ever had to fill a role you didn't think you'd be the right fit for?  Well, that's exactly what happened here, but thankfully the outcome was better than expected, lol.  Enjoy!

 

*Old Dream - December 22, 2015

I was part of a group of travelling performers.  There were different roles and everyone got a chance to change roles if desired or needed.  

For example there were singers, and instrumentalists (mostly drummers, but there were also people who just had sticks and hit whatever was around the environment, like stage equipment, flooring, etc.), and even if you sang at one event, you would be able to play an instrument at the next event and then someone else would sing.

I was usually an instrumentalist, but I had to sing in front of a large crowd of people because the one who was supposed to couldn't so I decided to help out for the next couple of events.     

Interestingly I wasn't really scared.  I was definitely a little hesitant at first but after seeing how excited the crowd was got me all fired up, lol.  

The first time singing was really awesome; the words just came out.  I didn't feel any fear after the first few lines, and the instrumentalists were great!  We worked well together even when we were improvising.

The second time singing was still good, but the head drummer went on too long when leading the crowd on drum rolls (3 times and really long).  I had to do them too just to add group spirit but my fingers were tired after.  One of the other performers even asked me what was going on :/

After the show I got talking to one of my friends (and fellow performer), she said I should do it again for a few more shows because of how happy I looked.  I said she should go on because it's her turn but she insisted I continue in her place.  She was really nice and encouraging :)  

Below are some lyrics that I remember (or at least the gist of).  The song was about encouraging the crowd to sing and to show them that they are/can be awesome if they believed in themselves and their abilities. 

 

To all of you

To all of me

Sing it for you 

Sing it with me

Sing it from the heart

This is what you should to do

So that you believe in you

 

It's longer than just these lines but I don't remember much else, lol.  Also I think the third and fourth lines got repeated until the crowd really got into it. 

After that, while still in the dream I was talking to my sister about the dream and trying to write down the lyrics.  That sort of helped me remember more for when I was really awake. 

*** 

 I really enjoyed this dream.  I had lots of fun singing in front of a crowd (which I've never done in real life), and the positive energy from the final performance (the one where the lyrics come from) was off the charts!  I would love to experience something like that in real life, maybe one day :D

Is there something you have always wanted to do, but maybe too afraid to try?  If so, then I wish you have the most amazing dream about it and re-energize your spirits :D  

Little Tid Bits 2

Hi everyone,  

Here are a few short dreams :D  I couldn't remember too much from each but there were some memorable parts and so that's what I focused on.

 

*Old Dreams x 3 

*** August 21, 2015

I was traveling with my husband and one other person to deliver a fruit that had been used to make juice that could potentially harm people because they had growth hormones that made things unusually large.  

The hormone was even destructive to the plant itself and only 1-2 of the extra large bunches of fruit survived from each plant.  The other fruit just grew big and died quickly.  The plants were very recognizable because of their orangey colour and extra lumpy texture.  

We were tasked with delivering the fruit to someone who was to develop a drink that can reverse the growth effects.

 

*** October 19, 2015

Me and group of people were exploring a mysterious island to understand the story behind it.

Two important words: 

Besharion (or Besharu) something like that: means deformity

OHNO: means Queen

The story was of two people; of how they met and fell in love.  It was all simple at first but then the man became afflicted by a curse/illness that turned his skin into rock-like material, sort of greenish brown.  

I think the woman had something to do with the curse because of the words.  I think it was to mean who ever fell in love with her would get the illness because her "beautiful" look was superficial, and her true look was the rock-type skin. 

 

*** December 14, 2015

I was a pilot in a real-life multiplayer airplane shooter type game (the ones where enemies come down from the top of the screen and the players shoot up from the bottom).    

There were many bullet types (about 8-10 types) for the players as well as explosives that the players were free to use in limited amounts.  Enemy ships had different strengths and weakness against the bullets.  Enemies also had shields, but they were neutral so all bullet types would work against them. 

If a player ran out of bullets (or chose to) they can ram into the enemy with the front of their airplane which had been fortified to be extra durable and strong (even compared to bullets).  

The danger of that though was the pilot had get close to the enemy (obviously), but if the pilot managed to hit the enemy, the player's airplane's damage output would increase 100% until it got hit by the enemy or until extra strength maxed out (like 5 times) so it was a strong, but risky option compared to bullets.
