Last night I had a sort of dream that makes me want to express it on film and become the next David Lynch.

Picture a cross between Mulholland Drive and episode 24 of Angel ("Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?"), with a dash of St. Elsewhere and just a pinch of Moominsummer Madness, and you've got the basic idea. The protagonist, I remember remarkably clearly, was a small boy who fantasizes about being able to change the past (because mine and my dad's theory as to what's going on in Mulholland Drive is that the entire first half takes place in Diane's head, plus the entire show St. Elsewhere turned out to be taking place in a kid's imagination), and either solve or prevent the murder of some relative in a hotel in the fifties (that Angel episode again). I recall that right about then it turned into a rerun of a dream I'd had once before and forgotten about, about a flooded city, and castaways on a raft float to a convenience store on higher ground and talk to the manager.

I just remembered that the other day I had planned to start a dream journal, and after this dream I'm no longer certain that's wise. Who's with me on that?

I have sometimes-recurring dreams about driving around in my car, but it handles extremely loosely and I always end up in a horrible crash.

Last night I had a really weird dream. I was going to start working at this place that was like a combination of a prison and a farm. I was going to be one of the prisoners, but I was going to be paid for it... it was really weird. I was being given a tour of the place, and I remember being really upset because whenever you wanted to use the bathroom, you had to fill out this really long form.

The place was by a lake, and we went down to the water and took our shoes off and dipped them in. In the water there were these things like Loons (I dunno if you guys in Britain and Australia know what Loons are, they're kinda like ducks but they're black with white spots and red eyes and pointed beaks, they live in all the lakes here in Maine) but they had cat ears and were really friendly, they swam right up and let us pet them and stuff.

(EDIT: I wiki'd it, and I guess you guys in Europe do have Loons, but you call them Divers)

And then the dream abruptly changed - I was with a bunch of other people, the only one of whom I knew was a woman who used to be my boss, and we were hanging out in my living room. Except it apparently wasn't my living room because these two old people came out and said if we were going to stay in their house we had to be more quiet. And then the dream ended.

I had a ps3, and a big 40 inch hi def tv in my room, and was playing haze on it...I kid you not

Last night I had a dream someone was trying to kill me. They kept trying to run me off the road, shoot me, and even use RPG's against me. I ended up losing them, So I thought, only to find out they knew where my family was gathering. I lost my father, grandmother, siblings, all my loved ones were killed right as I turned the corner to the block I lived on. I "Watched" my home go up in a plume of fire and smoke, and could even feel the bite of embers and smell the smoke as I choked on it trying to get to them. I woke up right before I would have suffocated.

My most recent (that I remember) I was playing guitar hero except, instead of the usual avatar on the stage. there was a mudkip (!!!!) playing the guitar hero guitar. And the lead singer was the guy from dragonforce...
The song wasn't even a guitar hero song either...
When I woke up I had a great compulsion to go play guitar hero, which I did, but there were no mudkipz :(

I was sitting in a Target store, and then some old lady was screaming and chasing after me with a cart full of seeable nothingness. Then she bought me some sunglasses and I ran away while being chased by a boat being driven by a very angry old man. Then I hijacked a car and drove it into the sky. The boat was chasing me until I ran up to it (and since I've been playing a lot of games with C4 explosives in them lately) I jumped on the boat, put some C4, and like a video game it blew up and I gained $4,000 to my bank account. Then I bought a shotgun and shot some North Koreans. Then Samus was naked. Then Richard Nixon and Joey from Friends were cursing at me in, I believe, Latin. Then my cat woke me up.

After playing a few hours of Halo 3 before I hit the hay I dreampt that the Brutes were trying to take over the Earth and I was part of the local resistance. I had a Beretta with an extended clip and me, my brother and a few people we met up with were scrambling from house to house, over fences, picking off Brutes, dodging gunfire and trying to remain hidden when darkness fell. We eventually moved out again before daybreak and headed down the beach, with minimal resistance, hoping to find a boat. Seems like many others had the same idea and the beach was packed with survivors. It was then that the Brutes struck with their most fearsome weapon yet... a giant mechanical Bart Simpson! It then became a mad flurry of action as people scrambled everywhere, either trying to escape or help take down the monstrousity.
It was surreal and exhilerating.

Then my alarm went off and I woke up.

Last few dreams involved me going around an Italian-looking city with a crowbar, and there were headcrabs and headcrab zombies, and blood smeared on the walls and elevators going crashing down and shit; had just finished HL1 again.

Also been tried to be eaten by both a great white shark and a 1m long crocodile-both of which just grazed/gnawed at my hand a bit.

Last night (just before an exam) I had the one where you wake up late for it-except I woke up in the middle of the afternoon when it was long over.

I had a dream that Virgil responded to a message I sent saying "Thank you for your message. Your opinions are important to us." and nothing else.

I was in an "I am Legend" themed universe although I wasn't the last guy on earth. There were plenty of other people, but they dressed like it was the 30's. We had cars like the ones we have today. The one major scene I remember is entering a tunnel full of traffic. I blink and then I find myself running from a monster that looked like a fat crocodile, but for some reason, it could run really fast. I, too was running like I had never ran before. I even jumped over a couple of cars in a single leap, but soon, the monster caught up with me and my vision was that of the camera in Cloverfield when we get a close-up of the monster and kills the cameraman. It goes on, but I can't remember.

This morning my dream was based in a DMV in Texas, in the middle of the dessert, some terrorists, I think, showed up and started shooting the place up until I managed to incapacitate one and delay them long enough for reinforcements to arrive, suffice to say my delaying them was mostly just running around avoiding being shot, since I was a mortal in this (apparently since I was carefully trying to minimize the amount of time I spent not hiding behind something bulletproof) then it all ended after a blazing firefight and a very short-lived chase scene.

hobartuk:
but anyway, what was your last dream?

I had the most awesome sex with an old crush.

hey, you asked for it,

Had this one a while back.

My mate and I met this girl at uni and we seemed to get along well. A few nights later I dreamt that my mate and this girl started going out together and I was the first one that they told. About a week after that they hooked up at her 18th and got together the next day.

My friends and I are now convinced that I am psychic.

I thought I was supposed to have dreams of me hooking up? Ohh well...

I had a dream one night where i dreamed of having sex with my teacher (she's hot so it worked out in my favor). So then, my asian friend who happens to be a girl and teacher's pet, walks in on me and makes this funny scream. So the upshot of the story was that when i went into school, my friend said that she had a dream about me and my teacher in it and she didn't go into detail. Also, my teacher said her back felt sore. I was like WTF?!?!?!?!? LOL. Also another night, I had a dream of being in my New York house where I used to live, it was dark and I heard the security alarm go off in my house. It was my dad, that was like drunk. I've never seen him drunk and he started yelling at me like he normally does when he's pissed. Then this garfield looking cat came in, and I petted him, and he licked my face for some reason. Then, I went to six flags with the cat and got in free cause it was like bring your cat, get in free weekend? I don't know it was bizarre. I met all my old friends from NY there, it was both an odd and fantastic dream, but the other dream about my teacher was a lot more fun ;)

I consider this a dream: I am falling to sleep (in real life) and after my eyes close and I begin to dream (any dream, it changes, just like others) and everything is interrupted by an extremely loud clapping noise and I wake up instantly, not being able to see if people or things in the dream react. It happens all the time and sometimes I don't really hear the clap until I have woken. No one else (real life) hears it, though.

One dream I can remember right now besides the one above is one in which me, my band director, and an old red car are in an endless expanse of grass (which is completely fogged out past twenty or so feet past my vision, like in a game), which is one half covered with dense forest. My band director takes the hubcaps off the car, about five seconds per hubcap, and throws them at me like chakrams. He chased me into the forest kind of far, and threw one at me, I ducked really quick, and it hit the tree and stuck in, like it was actually incredibly sharp and deadly, but it still looked normal. I kept trying to ask him why he was doing it, but he just smiled and laughed like he does when he cracks a joke about the flute section.

I had a dream that I was asleep. While I was sleeping, in my dream, I was having a bad dream about a meteor that was about to hit. There was something ... evil about the meteor. In my dream I kept switching between seeing myself toss and turn and seeing myself dream about this meteor coming down. And eventually the meteor crashes right through my bedroom window and something that looked like Golem from Lord of the Rings jumped off and there was a scream and I woke up (all of this happened in the same second).

I was sitting up in bed in a cold sweat, and then it all happened again!

And I was once again sitting up in bed in a cold sweat except this time I was sure it was all real and I was waiting for the meteor to crash through the window. I was awake though.

My favorite dream of all time though was that I was watching a full length feature movie directed by M. Knight Shamalan. It wasn't like I was sitting on the couch watching it, there was no "me" in the dream. I just watched this movie all night. It was a really good show too. Nothing that he's actually released, it was entirely fabricated in my head. But it was his style and it was really entertaining.
