/yume/ - Dreams

I had this one dream that I remember from my childhood.
I was walking through the local mall, which was strangely empty. I headed for the exit, and I opened the door. I fell.
I was sliding through this large black tube, and i saw windows flashing by. It was reddish outside. suddenly, I stopped in a cave. I looked out of a hole, and I saw a red Mars-like landscape. That was when I woke up.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.

I had a dream I was in this big house. It looked unfinished because there was nothing covering the walls, so it was all simple untreated wood. The weather outside is completely dark, and I swear i hear thunder outside.
Anyways, every door I open reveals a hockey mask-clad guy clutching a chainsaw, yelling like a maniac. I close the door immediately, and i turn around to the window. There is a small child on a sofa. He's silent, as if he is in shock. Then there's a shot of me and the kid nearing one of the doors, with the chainsaw guy bursting out, grabbing us both. While he carries me and the child inside the room i get a quick glance at a table. Then I woke up.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

I had a dream last night.

I saw this guy go to bed. I couldn't determine its gender because it was all blurred out.
He begins to convulse, as if in a nightmare. Then he begins to morph to several different things. first a toriningen, then Monoe, before settling on Madotsuki. Mado wakes up, opens the door to the nexus, and walks in. She goes into the snow world door. She then walks into the Igloo where Kamakurako is. Kamakurako wakes up upon her entrance, and their eyes meet. I woke up at that point.

The first thing I remember was going into this smaller type of sort of `home` restaurant (I guess..) and asking for a job. This woman (Maybe..) in her 50`s ish told me that there was already a dishwasher and didn`t need another. She was something of a bigger lady. I talked to the dishwasher and her and eventually something was worked out where he would take a week long vacation and I would take over to make some money. The thing is that the job starts early in the morning at around 8. It was already pretty late and I am just not a morning person so I guess I decided to stay there for the night, or for the week. I`m not sure what the conditions for rent were.. Whatever. I guess I had moved my stuff in there too, because for some reason I was trapped in that place. Maybe I was in a completely different city than my parents, and maybe I didn`t have my own place. It`s not terribly important I guess, dreams don`t have to be logical. It`s more the feeling that it gives you. It`s not how you get there, rather it`s getting there itself that is important. Anyway, so I`ve set the scene.

Well, I guess I remember one part in between but nothing super significant seemed to happen. As I was about to take a shower, the dishwasher told me not to smoke pot in the shower. …I don`t know. I`ve done it a couple times in real life and it feels amazing. Why something so silly is in this nightmare I don`t know. My dreams can get pretty absurd. Anyway he said that he did it a couple times and because there`s a hole or something in the shower the smell escaped and the owner got pissed off.

What happened sometime after was that I basically raped. I wasn`t anally raped, but if any of you have seen `throat fucking` porn, that was what happened to me. Those that haven`t seen it, you probably get the idea. I saw this from a 3rd person; I`m not sure whether I saw an image of me being raped or whether it was like a video, kind of. Sometimes in dreams you just know something happened to you, or you just know something is a certain way. I think I assumed in the dream that he was only starting off with the throat fucking and would go for more next time. So yeah.

The woman wasn`t really a woman, but it turned out to be some sort of terrifying, brutish thing. It was some sort of monster. Not monster in a comical way though, it was really the stuff of nightmares. I don`t think I ever got a good look at it. It was sort of a faceless morphing thing, maybe. It seePost too long.

I don't normally have dreams that have anything to do with fiction that I deal with in real life, but for once I had a dream with Madotsuki in it.

Pic unrelated.

Well, actually, I was playing Yume Nikki again and I was posting a thread telling everyone about how the lack of information about her and the lack of updated information about contacts with Kikiyama is incredibly depressing. It was short, and I didn't have time to get an answer before waking up to some sleep paralysis.

That itself was a weird experience, because I didn't actually open my eyes. My mind's eye saw all these odd creatures rotating around me and passing by as I was drawn back up into the waking world.

Before falling down to nap, I was busy brooding over the magic of Yume Nikki's community on me having been lost after reading all those joke theories, despite the experience of playing the game never having diminished a bit. So I figured I'd share this little bit of dreamstuffs with you guys, since it happens to be relevant to the board.

I've also been having some incredible REM rebound lately, I've been dreaming before falling asleep and hallucinating during the daytime.

Excuse me if there is already such a thread, But I'd like to make one where we don't discuss individual dreams, just common things that happen/are present in your dreams.

Common subjects of my Dreams:
-My pets. This is THE MOST COMMON BY FAR. Even as a kid, most of my dreams were about my pets. I can't count how many I've had about my dog coco, she's probably in like, half or more of my dreams. Also I've had a dream about every rodent pet I've ever had escaping within a week of getting it in real life. I recently had a cute dream where my gerbil Rascal learned to read <3

-Daft Punk and Daft Punk accessories. I'm not obsessed, but they pop up alot in my dreams, sometimes it involves the band themselves, or just daft punk related merch.

-Amusement Parks <3

-This godforsaken place. I've never had a Yume Nikki dream, but I've had a few dreams about Uboachan. How does that work?

-Watching anime or Playing Videogames. nothing interesting happens, it just goes on like real life ._.

-Eating too much food (usually icecream) and then being all "waaah why did I do that I'm gonna get faaaaaat", but then I wake up and I don't get fat.

I had a dream that I had a dream that I had a dream playing Yume Nikki, and I had to steal Mado's knife, and she lived next to me. Her sole life depended on that knife, and the screen kept blinking when I tried to force it away from her. When I finally did, I ran out her door but she caught up to me, triggering a fullscreen event that was BRICKSHATTING SCARY.

It kinda looked like the exorcist girl and the Ring girl and smile.jpg all in one. Well, the fullscreen event had the smile.jpg smile, the Exorcists girl's face, and the Ring girl's hair. (Apparently it was "Rosie from Peanuts".)

When that dream was over I ate spaghetti and went to some holiday party to tell you about it.

When that dream was over, I don't remember.

And then I woke up.

I had a dream about Brandish for the SNES. Basically I'm at a thrift store riffling through a box of cartridge-only games. I'm competing against another collector; the cart he picks is the US release, whereas I end up with the Super Famicom Planetbuster release w/ the purple label.

Despite not having the proper system to play, I'm overjoyed since I know the SNES Brandish is a screen-rotating piece of shit.

What do you think /yume/, is this the unconscious desire for Brandish to be a good game (solely based on the ass-shots of the cover art)? Should I instead channel my desires wisely into the purchase of the psp version, even if I don't own a psp?

Since /yume/ seems to be dying slowly how about we start a discussion.

Plain and simple, do you think shared dreaming is possible? I'm not talking about that weird spiritual stuff like astral projection. I'm talking about through normal methods. Twins occasionally have the same dreams, messages are be unconsciously sent and received through skin touch. Like if you were lying on someone while sleeping could your mind communicate whats going on and essentially link your two minds? Or what about through technological means? Like if we could actually transfer brain signals electronically.

A few nights ago, I had the first lucid dream I've had since I was a kid. This was a real shock to me, especially considering just how dull and lifeless my dreams are now (or how bad my "dream memory" has gotten?) compared to the intensely vivid dreams of my youth. This particular dream just came out of nowhere. I immediately tried to control my dream by summoning someone, and I was partially successful before I woke up suddenly.

Ever since, I've been trying to have more lucid dreams. I've read up a bit on different sites related to the topic and have started keeping a dream journal. But a lot of the information I've seen out there has been somewhat generalized or vague. Since it seems a lot of people here have lucid dreams and can control them, I thought I'd ask for more specific advice here. Any particular sleeping/eating habits I should be going for to trigger these kinds of dreams?

The picture of Nurse Tewi is absolutely related if I can get this lucid dreaming thing to work.
