Dream journaling!

Post weird dreams you have here!!

I dreamt that I was on the Snowgrave Route in Deltarune Chapter 2, except instead of being in the Cyber World, we were at some sort of Renaissance Festival. After taking the bus to this weird sacrificial temple in the woods, we got all the way to the part where Noelle was supposed to freeze Berdly, except he summoned the Annoying Dog except the dog was absolutely fucking jacked, and he was like "Aren't you forgetting something?", at which point I realized I forgot the Thorn Ring and told him I'd be right back. Noelle and I went to visit the rest of the festival, but there was a road closed due to a power outage. Then once we were there, we came across a tavern. Steve Harvey was there, but he was also a really crusty PNG version of Steve Harvey, and he was also really short, like about waist-height to me, so I shouted to everyone else in the tavern, "NAME SOMETHING YOU CAN DO WITH A CHAIR!" and one of them shouted "BEAT SOMEONE TO DEATH!", so I grabbed the chair next to Steve and started beating him to death with it, with the Family Feud "DING" playing every time I hit him. Then I pulled out a sword and started slicing someone to bits, except that he was just kind of confused. The sword was kind of like a saw blade, and it was too floppy to actually cut him. Then he pulled out the same kind of sword, and we started fighting. I eventually managed to stab him through the chest, and then explained to someone else at the festival that this was all just part of a video game and he was like "oh, okay".

I once dreamed that I discovered a game for the Wii called the "Super Mario World/Grave of the Fireflies 2-in-1", which basically functioned as a DVD of Grave of the Fireflies except for a "special features" menu that led to an emulated version of a completely unchanged ROM of Mario World.
It was considered to be the absolute rarest game for the system and went for absolutely insane prices on eBay.

Speaking of rare things, one time I dreamt I found a Black Lotus while cleaning my bedroom. I woke up angry as hell lmao

Here, have a (transformation) dream from a few months ago, which happens to be one of my favorite dreams I have ever had. I'm pretty sure it's not recency bias, either - I am often thinking about the phoenix dream still and that was from like 2006. This one is just a banger.

Hidden text.

I was visiting a larger settlement from my small camp on the outskirts, in a vast underground cave system. In the settlement, one of the lead scientists (not named in the dream but we'll call her Jennifer for readability) was rearranging the bioscience labs to cordon off a small area to be only accessible by people with permission. She said "You should probably see this," because she trusted me.

Jennifer led me to see "Amelie" (again, not named in the dream, but I'll call her this for readability), one of their cleverest scientists. Amelie had changed radically, and was growing a snout and possibly bat-wing patagium (memory hazy). She was hanging out with two talking bat-things - and this was clear that they were still animals, that they had the mind of an animal, and yet could talk, almost similar to a well-trained parrot - which were keeping her company, and she was talking strangely as well. Amelie's personality and mental structure had changed so she had a strange and cryptic and almost childlike way of acting and socializing. However, her ability to do mental tasks (biological science, art, etc) had not reduced at all and may have even *increased* (autism^2?). Amelie had to shed, sometimes, like a lizard, and wriggle out of her old skin to grow a new one.

Jennifer explained that Amelie had been like this for weeks, and she had become a "squamate" on a cellular level ("squamate" is the exact word from the dream, ignore the fact that that would be a lizard and not a bat-dragon-thing, it's dream-logic). Jennifer said that neither herself, nor any of the trusted scientists she had explained what happened to Amelie to, knew what had caused this. However, somebody (Jennifer? Me? another of the scientists?) speculated that this must be how some people were still living on the surface, how these (half-mythical, suspected to exist but never proven) surface humans could coexist with the angels.

It is implied that the angels are why everyone was forced underground. These are not Evangelion angels, but not biblical ones either. Not to make the dream less interesting, but I suspect my dream had them in mind as something closer to Disassembly Drones from Murder Drones.

I suspected this would lead to some social contention. So, to get on the village elder's good side, I gifted his son a tricked-out schoolbus turned into some sort of vanlife partybus. However, after I left, the village elder filled that bus with giant copper gears, apparently as part of some plot against me (this never came to pass).

I woke up very briefly and went back to sleep.

We had figured out - me and Jennifer and the trusted scientists - what had changed Amelie. There was some strange fruit or fungus that grew in the caves, and it was hallucinogenic. It made people live have flashbacks of or hear (like a voice) the memories of dead humans somehow. This is implied to be because the plant grows into the graves of buried humans and absorbs their brains, distilling the memories to carry them on. I realize this is how the strange talking animals who were keeping Amelie company learned to talk - by experiencing the memories of humans, human speech imprinted upon them. I realized this in the shower. I mean, in the dream, I was taking a shower, and my shower thought was "oh this was how the animals learned to talk." However, in addition to the memories of the dead, this fruit would also make you simply trip out and hallucinate in the normal way.

Amelie had taken these, potentially a very large amount of these. In a small amount it doesn't do anything permanent to you, but in a large amount or repeatedly over time it will start to slow-burn transform you. It will get into your cells and change your genetics. It was learned that over time, you'd become immune to the hallucinogenic effects, but the transformative effects remained. In fact, after you'd spent enough time taking these, you would continue to transform even without eating them, because your body is now fully seeded with the new genetics and is already prepared to change.

A large number of us, the group who knew about what had happened to Amelie, began taking these fruits on purpose. We wanted to change and transform and become like she is. The hallucinogenic effects were very intense but we knew that'd decrease over time and the transformation would remain. Everyone in the settlement had to migrate, because of some imminent threat (unspecified), but we in the transformation cult decided to stay. Some of us approached the last remaining person who planned to leave, the village elder, who was standing on top of a building. We tried to convince him that conflict would not be necessary, that they had to leave the settlement anyway so why not leave it to us? And also that bloodshed would only result in losing people on both our sides.

I believe I woke up again at this point and after this the dream is a lot less coherent.

Some of our transformative group was having some sort of Matrix-like car chase with over-the-top action movie nonsense and a shootout. The highways were laid out like a 3D Sonic level and there were lots of broken sections you had to do a dramatic ramp and arc over with your car. I remember somebody skateboarding on the railings. it was very silly.

I had taken in one of the civillians we had injured in the car chase. When I woke up, I found out that while I was really high from the effects of the fruit I had given her (the civilian) the fruit to "heal" her. It had *worked*. However, this meant she had eaten some of the fruit. When she woke up she talked about refreshed she felt, and how fun the trip was, and that she wanted more of it. She still looked fully human and I didn't want to transform somebody who didn't realize what was going on, but she was starting to get addicted to the fruit. So, I very carefully found a way to drop her off back at her apartment.

so I remember dreaming about being on vacation in some hot and tropical-looking town, sitting down in the outside area of a restaurant, and suddenly an real-ass alligator (or crocodile, I couldn't really tell) just casually walked up. none of the other guests were making a fuss, and dream me was acting all like "oh, huh, this is normal", and I think the owner of the restaurant then came outside and just proceeded to pet and play with the alligator crocodile thing just like you'd play with a dog or cat.

had a dream where a bunch of people were getting high in the back of a car, which I decided was called "getting classic"

Last night I dreamt I got arrested for involuntary manslaughter and fraud after getting pulled over for running a red light

[Ja'aran]

Last night I had a vivid dream about a cartoon movie where two groups enter a pyramid chasing after "the monarch" referring to a monarch butterfly, one butterfly being the real one and the other fake.

The rest of the dream shifted to my Mom wanting to get her shoes but refusing to give directions.

One time I dreamt that I went to the grocery store and for some reason in the produce section there was this DVD of a reboot of the 1982 Pac-Man cartoon by Hanna-Barbera, except it was called "Pac-Mani" and it was all animated in claymation.

There was also the time I dreamt that I met the second coming of Jesus there and he told me he was a shoplifter and that his blood was the color of egg yolk

Remembering an old dream where I became an antlered fox-mermaid after making a pact with fae folk and attending a college for magic study in their realm. The college was a tower framed in flawless white pillars and sat on top of a vast but shallow ocean.

I entered the realm from under the water, my fur and antlers were all pure white and I had thick polar seal fur all the way down to my tail flukes. I could go back to the human realm freely, and some sprites would tag along to share in human foods and treats, hidden under the baggy clothing concealing my fur as it became more and more difficult to assume a human form temporarily over the days. I spent so much time just... swimming. A mermaid's tail was such a freedom, and being full of breath even underwater was incredibly liberating.

Hope to go there again someday.

This is such a bizarre combo, I love it. Imagine how much controversy/meme cash would Ghibli and Nintendo make if they would actually try to sell such a random (and inappropriate, considering the topic of GotF) collaboration product

I had a dream once, it was actually kinda calling me out. I had it when I was still going through my furrys go away cus ur too freaky and weird #notlikeothergirls phase, except I was finally starting to chill out at this point.

I was a werewolf, similar to the Skyrim ones, but I had a humanoid face and torso. I was in a large, multi-floor swimming pool. It was very different than IRL ones, since these were mostly big, shallow tray-like platforms filled with water, rather than the place having specific pools with walking and recreational places around. That was actually a really cool concept, and I think I should try to illustrate it at some point...

For some reason, I felt like that place had something to do with furries, which made me unreasonably infuriated, it was very extreme, compared to how I was feeling or acting in real life, to the point that I began to seek reasons for reporting this place for being unsanitary and a health hazard, so it would get closed.

I didn't find anything. There wasn't even anyone in there, except for a few creepy, enormous fleas with very long legs. They would appear right before my eyes, and move their legs very slowly from time to time, for no reason. Apparently, they didn't count.

The most notable thing was that, the only furry thing in this entire place was me, a werewolf.

One place that sometimes is a recurring element in my dreams is this weird combination of an airport and a McDonald's PlayPlace. Like just, split down the middle, one side is an airport and the other side is a PlayPlace.

Wasn't last night's, but I had a dream that Vampire: The Masquerade Requiem 2 played like a mix between Saint's Row 3 and EDF. It kinda rules actually
