/yume/ - Dreams

Pipe Dreams are dreams you have while straddling the fence of consciousness with drugs, namely opioids. Pipe dreams are the trippiest and most immersible dreams I have had.

Let's have a discussion about pipe dreams and how you have experienced them. If you're an artist or a writer, try to render your pipe dreams.

BTW in case you were wondering, the artist here is Zdzislaw Beksinski.

Post a dream you've had recently. I'll go first.

There was this new kid show coming out, it was really similar to barney. I thought it was the dumbest idea. However, My mother found out that the set was being open to public for a day. I decided it could be fun to go on the set of a kid show. So we went. Luckily the set was in our area. When we arrived, there was our family and 2 other families. The set was also just a house, it looked completely normal. He went up to the door and knocked, a purple… thing… answered the door. He scared me. He offered to show us inside. Everybody went in. I noticed the painting he had on the wall. They were either surreal, or had a grey alien-like creature with glowing eyes and an open mouth. I wanted to leave, but he convinced us to not leave. The creature wanted to show us a movie, everybody else wanted him to show them the movie. He… Smiled… This was weird because he was just a guy in a costume… Or at least, I thought that’s what he was. He turned on the movie… We saw a man laying down on a doctor’s table. Then the “doctors” came in. (We weren’t sure if they were doctors or not) Then they got a knife. They didn’t make any measurements or anything. They just started cutting the guy open. The video got more and more gruesome as it went on. ( I forgot the rest of the dream but he tried to barbeque somebody)

Currently, I am planning a project for which I will work on a web comic which takes the elements of real dreams that my friends have written down in a journal. I will inscribe the most horrible of nightmares in stark contrast to the ecstacy of a lucid dream. I plan for the dreams to mesh, such as in a way "Ultra Heaven" seemed to do.

So let's get some general discussion about how we identify with nightmares, what parts of dreams are significant to us, what it felt like. Any topic that doesn't necessarily involve describing your dreams step by step unless you feel the need to.

And for the artists of this board, we should discuss illustration tips. I personally like to overlay everything with a grainy diffused brush which I use the burn tool to, for example, inscribe shit into walls.

Pic is sort of unrelated. This is the kind of art style I have, so this sort of stuff will be written into this.

Can anyone interpret my dream?

I was in a classroom. I was a cat. I was in a staring contest with a dog. The dog was also me. Then a man walked in. The man looked like me. But the man was a woman. And then a bird flew in. The bird was Madotsuki. It clawed my eyes out. Then someone pissed on me and I woke up. I got out of bed then suddenly woke up again.

Picture is mfw I woke up a second time

Okay, I've been really lazy in keeping a dream diary, and of late I have been unable to lucid dream. Now I'm no longer even able to remember my dreams in vivid detail. So in this thread I'm going to try to motivate myself to write every morning, no matter how fragmented it is. Just anything I can remember.

I don't know why I think posting it on the internet will help me, but what ever.

Last night I had a dream I was with my brother and his friend, wandering through a maze. Well, actually, I met up with him later, haha! We met up by this area in the maze where it was sort of musty and dark with some pipes hanging out of the ground that were beginning to rust.

We hopped off of there (literally) and came to a cliff that loomed over a black pit that seemed bottomless. My brother tried to hop into there and swim across? But just fell down and then respawned right next to us looking kind of frustrated. I laughed and told him I would show him how it's done, then hopped into the pit and almost floated to the gate when I dropped down into the pit. It was like an endless stream of darkness and when I finally could see, it was a blue outline of myself hitting the concrete bottom.

To my surprise I hadn't died, when I had come to I was in an ice cream shop with my brother and the other guy that was with us. The girls running the shop were rather cute but got angry when the guy tagging along said he wouldn't pay but I ended up convincing him to give them a quarter.

We left and the other guy just vanished for some reason? It was just me and my brother left and I was conquering all the puzzles that the maze had to throw at us with ease! He was getting sort of jealous though and smashed a couple bricks and to our surprise this lady popped out and began to chase us.

She chased us for a while and finally got us into a literal corner and said she was going to kill us. I began to cry and that went on for a very long time.

I don't really remember anything else about the dream after that.

I think this board would be more appropriate for this…

I can see the future in my dreams. It's not like vivid by any means but I get little glimpses and flashes of things I don't understand but are clearly my life. Sure enough in the near future I will experience this event and clearly remember what is going on. I can do different things if I don't like the outcome and it changes everything, but if I continue on with what was in the dream the memory of it just increases and increases. I can follow what I did in the dream until I make a mistake in which the memory fades as I have taken a different route than the path in my dream.

It's really confusing and scary.
;_;

So every time I dream I have a pare of bat wings, but I was wondering if other people had some alternate form they took on in there dreams.

I did once dream that everyone in the world was transmutated into there true form; and it was awesome.

So I'm curious to here what you guys have to say.

I had a 2 layer dream (Keep this in mind my phone was almost dead as I was going to sleep and I always Lucid dream so I sometimes don't know what reality/dream) in the first dream I was sitting in my room then I heard my phone ringing and I thought it was ringing in real-life so I woke up to answer it not realizing I was still in a second dream so after a while of trying to talk on the phone it died so i thought i was really awake then I heard my front door to my house open and I woke up yet again and I checked my phone to see if it was really dead and it wasn't…

Hello. I lucid dream very rarely, but recently the times I lucid dream it's always the same one.
I actually don't know if what I'm having is a lucid dream. Everything seems pretty clear and deep, and I know it's a dream but I feel like I can't control my body.

I was wondering if someone could tell me if there was maybe some kind of meaning behind this.

I appear to be in a very quiet, empty place. Everywhere I look is grey, it feels like I need to blink or squint a couple of times because everything is just that one shade.

After a moment or two, I turn around(and that's one of the things I remember ALWAYS doing in this dream: turning around.) and see in the distance a tree with a leopard sat under it. Looks as though it's quite a bit away from where I'm stood, but I know what it is. The tree has pale pink flowers coating it's branches. Looks nice. The leopard doesn't seem to be doing anything, it's just sat there staring at me.

So, I start waking towards this odd pairing. I feel happy as soon as I take the first step towards the tree and leopard. The leopard doesn't seem to be a threat and from where I'm stood I don't think of it as an issue. I come close to a point where I begin to admire the tree's petals slowly fluttering down to meet the leopard sat beneath it.
It's around this point I stop myself to understand that the closer I got to the tree, the more petals were falling. I can feel my face dropping to a more shocked, serious expression as if I'd witnessed a murder take place or something.
Now the tree looked somehow darker, and less attractive.
It was wilting as the distance between us grew shorter, and I knew this. I didn't feel happy anymore.

I've had this dream on more than two occasions now. (I guess that doesn't seem like a lot but I hardly ever remember dreams but I remember this one perfectly so it's stuck with me)
