/yume/ - Dreams

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.

But hey guys… For the fans of LSD Emulator to the PSX, another fan game is called SOUP (Link at the bottom of this page: http://www.autofish.net/shrines/lsd/index.html
Just if interested.

1.So this one dream I had I was on one of the moons of Jupiter. It's the one with the surface of ice and an ocean beneath it. So I'm in the ocean beneath the ice, I can't see my own body so I don't know what I look like, but I'm moving through the water. It's very, very, very dark. There is a lot of movement around me, and a faint noise. A creature with a very slim body like an eel comes at me and I manage to dodge, the creature is fast however, and turns on a dime. I wished that I could evolve a drill and burrow through the ice to the surface to escape, except I just wished the idea in my head i didnt say all those words. So I have my drill now and get to the surface. It's very windy and just as dark. There are hundreds of pixel sized stars in the background. And a 200x200 ball that is the sun. there are creatures rolling around on the surface, being knocked by the wind. an eagle like thing swoops at me, i idea wish again but for wings and claws. i fly up and drive my claws into its back. its warm, and very gooey. like fresh taffy. its blood is a deep purple.


2. the oh-so-common "my teeth fell out" dream. in the dream i wake up from sleeping and head to my bathroom. i'm going to brush my teeth and I open my mouth to inspect my teeth (irl i have a cavity forming so i check on it 1st thing) all my teeth look like graham crackers that have been dipped in milk. they are learning side to side, brown, and crumbly looking. i get scared seeing it. i push my teeth with my tongue and my front teeth crumble off half way and fall out of my mouth. thudding into the sink. i start crying and rubbing my arm in my mouth and getting all the graham crackers out.

3. i dreamed i was in an outside setting. a park sort of thing. im on a bench with other people and other benches with more people. about 5 rows with 2 benches each we are facing a hill, no one is moving or talking. the sun is setting so the sky is changing color. one half is darker than the other. there is a loud noise like metal twisting and a tank fall from the top of the hill and lands on most of the people. i run over the benches and sit by the corner of the hill. (the hill is a pretty sharp "L") the tank rolls by. i hear screaming and shouting, the sky is filled with smoke. bottom half glowing red and yellow. i crawl under one of the benches and there's a pillow i use to hide myself with. the ground is now a wooden floor and the bench a bed. i hear the door kick open and soldier comes inPost too long.

Pic unrelated, but seriously, I feel like this might be a dream FRAGMENT or something, But I remembered this an typed it down before I could forget it.

in this dream, I am a little black haired girl in a kimono (was only able to tell due to a nearby mirror) standing before
two caskets with two men who looked like feudal lords inside. everyone looks releived for some reason,
then a man comes up to me and hands me a paintbrush and says "go ahead, turn a nighting gale into a phoenix".
so i hesitantly step forward and place the brush on an altar betweeen the caskets and light it on fire, the flames from the brush look like a beautiful bird and everyone applauds me.
then a middle aged woman in a kimono rushes upstairs and yells at me
"what do you think you're doing up here, Kanai?!". The man who gave me the brush pats the
woman on the shoulder and said "Its okay, shes seen Zeus now". to which she replied with
"Oh…Okay". The dream ended with the man turning to me and smiling as he told me
"Okay, little kanai, you can go play now"

I'm seriously weirded out by this dream because it made no sense to me, Do you have any ideas, /yume/?

What are the colors in your dreams? Show me your color palette of a recent dream, recurring dream, etc.

Any one else have those dreams where they are talking to a girl/guy that you want to date? Not a person in real life, but a person in your dreams.

Well I just had one of those dreams, and they always suck after wards what with waking up realizing its not real.
Heres the insult to injury though, I swear, that dream was real. I remember the entire dream from beginning to end in perfect detail. I remember what I said, I remember what she said, I remember what I was going to say to ask her out, I remember where we were, and for the most part, the dream was a perfect mimic of real life.

Oh did I mention she was amazingly hot?

Thanks /yume/ for listening to my rant, i'mma go cry now that I almost got to 1st base with my subconscious.
