    1. ccxcvii. Invitation, Unusual BFG

      by , 07-05-2021 at 02:48 PM
      5th July 2021

      Fragment:

      I'm looking at my profile on one of the art sites? I notice I have an unread PM and click to check it. It's from a site moderator I think and I check to see if it really is one, by looking for a certain symbol or something? The message reads at first something like "Dear user, as it is so rare to come across individuals like yourself", going on for a short bit and then asking further down if I'd like to become a moderator, myself.

      There's still some kind of special application process and scrolling through the, actually somewhat long, message, I see some red hyperlink buttons with white text. They have something to do with answering some questions for the application. At the start of these is also a green one and I perceive green as bad? The green one is for saying that you're not interested in this or something.

      I think about this and consider the responsibilities, the kind of things I might have to deal with, potentially unpleasant. And also the fact that it's not a paid role or position, it's voluntary even with the application and so on. Despite all this I still consider applying. Rest of recall faded.

      Fragment:

      In a game world of some kind, with H. It feels like DOOM, Quake or UT. The zone feels a bit void of anything at all, very empty. There's an orange-purple atmospheric effect? The only things that seem to exist around here are some kind of simple and white geometric structures that we walk across. I do some jumping tricks and get up on top of what is supposed to be like a small building. There's a "BFG 9000" here on the flat rooftop, it's a secret pick-up. This BFG has a unique design and is really quite big, as I pick it up I visually note that H gets it too.

      The weapon's design is chunky at the start, then it becomes tri-pronged kind of and extends almost two yards in front. These bits sticking out are like electro-magnetic rails and they are a silvery metal but with a light blue electric glow. The rest of the design is primarily green, the green tone I associate with DOOM.

      Anyway, then a boss or elite enemy appears or something. I consider whether or not we should use our new BFGs on it and end up deciding not and that we should just use regular rocket launchers to fight it. I think about the fact that the BFG has very limited ammo and sooner or later we'll end up firing at the same time anyway in combat situations, effectively wasting shots.



      Notes:

      - On waking and trying to draw the weapon in its most basic form I realised I couldn't imagine what the grip for it could be like. I then realised I've never really paid attention to this detail on BFG designs.

      - The first dream may relate to how I have sometimes done things freely for others because I felt that it was important enough to do as a voluntary thing. The issue has often been for me that I have not been either rewarded nor recognised for it and not even getting some recognition for helping makes it feel like I've been used for my eagerness, ultimately making me feel naive and cynical about such things.
    2. 17-11-15 Left Behind, Gaming With Hayden

      In the first dream, I was outside on a parking lot somewhere. I was with a group of others at first, but I lagged behind and I got left behind and couldn't find them anymore. I remember finding a bicycle? Not sre if it was mine. I forgot most of this dream.

      In the second, I was playing what looked like "Duke Nukem 3D". However, the graphics looked different and reminded me a lot of the leaked "Duke Nukem: Forever" screenshots that leaked in 2001. I remember fighting the final boss, the Cycloid Emperor, but he was in some kind of massive armored vehicle instead of on foot. I shot at him and he died rather quickly when his vehicle exploded. I was surprised the game was so easy. In another scene I was going through a level, and encountered two Cyberdemons (from the classic "Doom" games). Then a secret wall opened, revealing alien green goo, explosive barrels and a Battlelord Sentry from Duke 3D. I blew up the floor and fell through. At some point I discovered my save games were compatible with my older save games from when I played the "Megaton Edition" in real life. At some point, it turned out I was playing the game while actress Hayden Panettiere was with me in the room (sitting on the couch opposite of me). She talked about the game and I was amazed she was into video games. Needless to say his made me like her even more. The conversation changed subject a few times and in the end (right before I woke up) we were talking about my motorcycle accident 6 years ago.
    3. [10-08-2016] #12th competition entry

      by , 08-10-2016 at 10:45 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      First dream

      I was a doom marine, wandering around the dark UAC station. With double barrelled shotgun I cleared my way through corridors, tearing through demons. The corridors seemed endless and empty, but I haven't felt lonely. I was full of energy and rapidly cleared my way.

      Attempted WBTB, failed

      Second dream

      It was a western, wild west. Known outlaw Bumble Jack was terrorising a few bigger cities, in most of which he had his dark business running. He corrupted sheriffs of these cities to have no troubles, except for sheriff of city in which he had main base, as that man was no threat to anyone. I was a dozen of years older. With my wife and son we were just going to move into the city of Bumble Jack, unaware of that. As we approached town gates, we were ambushed by his thugs. They wounded me and killed my wife and son, I escaped to city's sewers and lived there for a dozen of years. One day when I was sitting and reading a book in my hut, which I made in a small cavern joining with city's sewers, a vice sheriff of the city appeared. She was a tall blonde woman, quite pretty. She asked me what I've been doing there for all these years. I replied that I was dealing with rats. She asked how many I've killed, and I said that none.

      At the same time, the sheriff of the city climbed up a neon on a bar, in which Bumble Jack had his base. All townspeople have gathered to see this. Sheriff shouted to them to climb up the roof, help him get upper and that they'd deal with bandits next. But nobody wanted to deal with them, people went back to their houses to watch tv.

      Then I appeared in front of the bar with vice sheriff. With strong kicks we busted doors to bar open. A huge group of thugs appeared to deal with us. No one used gun, it was a fistfight. Together we kicked their asses, not getting hurt even slightly. We entered one of side rooms and found women and children tied up. Bumble Jack was about to sell them at the black market and get really big money. We freed them and showe them the way out, but then I noticed that someone was taking some tied women for himself. The vice kept freeing people while I ran after that man - it was my friend's sworn enemy. I chased him into the bar room, barkeep haven't cared about him. The man said something to me, but I was angry and didn't listened. I grabbed his head and smashed it against a bar counter, then still holding his head, I gave him a strong kick in teeth. He have fallen on the floor, unconscious.

      Then the barkeep seemed suspicious, so I kept an eye on him. He weirdly leaned over a wall. I asked him what he's doing, and he said "I inform". I shouted "Informant!" then Steven Seagall appeared behind the counter and said "Calm down, everything would be fine."

      Third dream

      I was in my house, it was a dark night. We had visitors who have just left, the house was tidied so that nobody could find anything. I wanted to brush my teeth, but couldn't find my toothbrush. I asked mother and she said that grandma have hidden all teethbrushes. I searched around the bathroom and house, then I asked grandma and she showed me where the teethbrushes are. I took mine and went to bathroom.
    4. 16-07-14 Pennywise & Fallen Angel

      by , 07-15-2016 at 12:43 AM
      A fragment occurring before the 'main' dream featured classic Doom gameplay. It's possible I'm confusing this with a real memory - I watched a Doom video on the tube yesterday. Or maybe it did happen, and it was based on that.

      The main dream, then. I was in a strange room. Possibly with someone else. Weird things were happening to the wall, as if reality was being 'bent', and I knew it was Pennywise the clown - a very common monster in my psyche. I approached it, and fully expected it to show its horrific teeth and attack. A bit later, Pennywise had a partner in crime, a woman I recognized as a 'fallen angel'. As I actually do rather often, I tried to reason and bargain with the monsters, instead of fleeing (not that fleeing was possible). I asked the woman why she was doing this. She opened a cabinet or small vault (not sure), in which I saw a dead newborn baby (not full-grown), with the umbilical cord still attached - in a pool of blood and/or water from the womb. She explained that human doctors had done this to her, and this is why she wanted all humans dead. I kind of understood her anger, but wanted to argue that the crimes of a few do not condemn all. But before I could do this, I woke up.

    5. 16-06-27

      by , 06-27-2016 at 03:55 PM
      This dream took place in the Heroes-universe, between the last volume, and Heroes: Reborn. Noah looked far more muscly than I remembered, almost like a bodybuilder. The longer I looked, the less I recognized him. I don't recall why I was there exactly, but I can imagine it had something to do with his daughter.

      There was a dream in which I was in some kind of military/research installation. I was in the part that still had some people roaming around, but most of the facility was abandoned, I think. I ignored this and wandered off deep in the bowels of the base. At some point I entered a large, cavern-like hall, almost like a grotto, where I was attacked by demons (the Doom 2 variety). I failed miserably the first time (got caught in massive crossfire), but I got to "try" again and handled the situation differently. I shot the imps by the entrance with a machine gun, and picked off demons one by one (several manchubi), avoiding the trigger that released the cyberdemon until last. Then I handled him with a rocket launcher. Then I ran off through some other room.

      In this part I was in some kind of "war room", facing a wall where several factions had set up TV screens showing war data (or something like it). There were the Germans, and I think the Allies, but the Nazi's were a separate faction who did not have a space of their own, and roamed around between the other factions. I approached two guards on the opposite wall, who were guarding something like a fuse box attached to said wall. They wore modern battlesuits and helmets that obscured their faces. I fought them with the combat mechanics of the game Mirror's Edge Catalyst (fists, slide-kicks, jump-kicks), but especially the guard on the left was tough as hell and didn't take a lot of damage. At some point I got a combat knife somehow. I dispatched the weaker guard on the right (or did I beat him and *then* take his knife?) with ease, and started viciously stabbing the stronger guard, who was soon whimpering and at very low health. Suddenly, the guard had no helmet on anymore, and I saw it was a girl. A pretty one, too. I ignored it, jabbing the knife in her stomach (which was now bare for some reason, I noticed she had a navel ring) and jerking the knife upwards, attempting to disembowel her. But then, I felt sorry for what I was doing. I caressed her face in consolation, and noticed that everywhere I touched her, her body was dripping wet with some kind of oil - which was weird. I recall kind of hugging and kissing her, and perhaps eventually having sex with her right there. *REDACTED DETAILS* Anyway, I was interrupted by Hitler who was coming my way. I stood a few meters away from the fuse box thing, next to my fellow operative Benedict Cumberbatch (later I started to doubt, thinking he was Michael Fassbender instead). I asked him if he spoke German. He answered "a little". Hitler looked at us, saying something in German. I just stood there smiling like an idiot, hoping my mate would say something, anything. He did not, but we got away with it.

      I vaguely remember driving a car, and pulling into a narrow alley onto a parking lot. There were a lot of cops, so I turned around and left again. It's possible I'm confusing reality (memory) with fiction at the moment.

    6. The end is coming

      11/14/15

      I had a night off last night. Slept from 11pm or so - 8am

      DR:
      I am in Asia, perhaps Vietnam. In some kind of a run-down hotel. Something about bathrooms.

      A chef makes scrumptious looking asian meals, like General Tso's and some pork belly.

      I'm stocking some chocolate cake. Now I'm in the office of US envoy in this asian country. He is telling me that there is no escape for us, we are gonna be all killed no matter if we are trying to escape on a bus, or oter way, or stay in his office. So I ask him if it's ok to eat that chocolate cake. He says sure.

      I go back and eat the whole damn thing. First I only take a chunk of the frosting and want to cut it up so nobody notices, but then I say srew it and eat it all. But before that I make me a plate of that asian food and add some mustard that my friend is asking for. I remembered after I woke up how it all tasted.

      Just before this I'm watching an opposite wall in this hotel, where on top part mice start to pour out of an invisible opening. There is hundreds of them. They stay on this short ledge on top of the wall. I tell this to the envoy and I tell him that good chunk of the wall is missing there.

      (Just before bed I watched the movie Chef where he was cooking these awesome looking dishes. This is the food part of my dream. The mice - I saw a roach farm on tv that same day.)

    7. Supernatural

      by , 03-16-2015 at 07:46 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      A girl and I are in a large tower with a spiral staircase winding up untold heights through the stone walls. It becomes apparent that there is an evil spirit chasing us. We run up the stairs for a while, then duck into a room. I run back out to distract from the girl and run up the stairs some more. But the girl doesn't hide like I thought she would. Instead, she decides to sit on a table and just face the door, waiting for the spirit to get her, as if by seeing it, things will be okay. I get a feeling of doom as I see the creepy spirit woman rush through the door and tackle the girl. My heart sinks in my chest. But there are more harmful things nearby, and nothing else I can do for her, so I try to stay hidden to fight another day.

      (This was a lot cooler when I first woke up, but I went back to bed for 3 hours, then went to work, so some of the details have eluded me at the moment.)
    8. 14th Nov 2013 Various Fragments, Complex, Video games, Fights

      by , 11-15-2013 at 02:30 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragment):

      Some kind of video game.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I have entered some underground complex and was using radio to communicate with someone. I was searching for quite a while around various areas. Then i finally found what i was searching for and found way to disable security on it. I went through opened passage and reached a chamber with massive futuristic energy weapon, there was a panel near it where i switched a few things and went back through the passage, i could switch lights on and off using some kind of cursor on the way. Then i've found way out of complex and there were castle ruins near the exit. Group of rebels were fighting someone, which then turned into a large fight between two sides and i had to get through that. I"ve found a truck and started getting around but then road got blocked by random rocks. Luckily a bunch of dynamite packs were nearby which i used to blow rocks up.
      Then i've reached some kind of glass underwater passage and then some dude appeared and started using sleep inducing weapons, i resisted them, retreated a bit then counterattacked. Then later as i continued through passage there was something about butterflies.


      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing some doom mod and there was a level that was like huge maze complex set from sections 4 by 4. Some enemies were different and there was one enemy that was throwing skulls. I got lost for a bit but then found way out using a map, exit was unlocked but i was trying to 100% level, soon part of map opened revealing a horde of lost souls, against which i used a rocket launcher.

      Dream 4(fragments):

      I was playing serious sam and there was some desert temple map with enemies appearing in groups, i was trying to get through it without saves.

      Dream 5(fragments):

      There was some fight on ruined rooftop where i have teamed up with someone else and we had to fight a team of two girls with some kind of psionic abilities.
    9. 10th Nov 2013 Video game mix

      by , 11-11-2013 at 02:25 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was going through some locations and apparently i broke some kind of law of that place and everyone was thinking i am crazy or something.

      Dream 2:

      I was playing some RPG game and then was looking through scripts, by looking at code i've noticed that one of options summoned stealth enemies and was causing dialogue variations in the next scene.
      Then upon entering next area game turned into some kind of Serious Sam/Doom mix. Next area was mostly using brown brick textures and was kinda huge maze, there were lots of enemies both from doom and serious sam and then there was an arena with boss at the end which was like hybrid of cyberdemon and red mechanoid.
      Then i've decided to test out coop on same level with SilentEternity and map was going completely different way around the arena and through more mazes, where we have found keycards. On the way groups of enemies were spawning.
      Then we have started next level and our spawns were separate. I've started in grey area with lots of pillars and fought mostly imps and pinkys, but then there were also scientist zombies in closets, randomly opening. Then i've found a wall of buttons and pressed some of them, which caused PC to glitch out. Apparently my PC was also made of various doom textures and it kept freezing. I was trying to fix it.

      by , 10-29-2013 at 02:26 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragment):

      I was playing terraria.

      Dream 2:

      I was playing some doom modpack coop with SilentEternity. We were doing some hellish fleshy level and i've found BFG10k which was even more overpowered than one from skulltag. Then we have reached more open area and large enemies started appearing from everywhere, cyberdemons, masterminds and floating variant of masterminds that spawned ghosts on attack, buffed BFG10 was killing them in like 4 hits but they kept coming, walls were opening revealing even more enemies, but my BFG made short work of them all.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing an RTS and i was using lots artillery to fight enemy forces in mountains, i have reached some kind of tower building. In tower, it turned into an FPS and i had to fight through guards, guard bots and some kind of mutant worm spawners that were placed on walls in some metallic tech level. There were some tough ambushes and i was using ladders to get higher and higher.

      Dream 4(fragments):

      I was apparently playing hearthstone and there was a difficult situation involving powerful cards on both sides.
    11. 22nd Oct 2013 Fragments

      by , 10-23-2013 at 02:40 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some RPG game that was apparently somewhat MSPA/homestuck themed but with alot of new characters and some kind of 'mutants'. There were 9 members in the party and next dungeon looked like a tower.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      There was a snowball fight.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing doom with SilentEternity, we were playing deathmatch mode on a small level and it was castle-like, 9 connected rooms. Some rooms contained BFGs and keycards, semi-hidden, SilentEternity got to them first. Then we fought in one of the bigger areas, i had rocket launcher and actually managed to dodge all bfg shots and get 2 frags, then i accidentally shot rocket launcher while being too close, haha. Then fight continued in corridors.

      Dream 4(fragments):

      Was some story about characters with powers of some kind, it was snowing and an very powerful enemy appeared and started killing everyone, a few retreated into cafe where final fight started, main character apparently had control over snow and then everything started glitching.
    12. 12th Oct 2013 Space captain story and video games

      by , 10-13-2013 at 12:27 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      I was on the bench on the street and i was reading some story books, the story was about spaceship captain, space wars, some planets and i was like watching it. At one point there was battle in space and then an assault on base on some dark planet, after which they established an outpost here and started discussing weaponry, and then later got attacked by some space ninjas.
      At some point i got distracted from the book due to too many people walking around, so i've told something to an old lady that was nearby and went home. At home i started checking various stuff on PC and found some new shmup that had theme about pyramids and people in masks, and was happening in sand place. It also had some weird cutscenes in which some objects looked like made from Fraxy parts, in one scene two people were trying to save a girl that one of the people in masks was trying to sacrifice to some god.
      Later i was checking out some doom mod with SilentEternity, we were going through brown building and there was some gimmick with alert. As for enemies we had to fight some bizarre mangled versions of doom marines and some floating orbs. Then SilentEternity suggested some other mod, i've looked through it and it was very familiar, like i've played it before, especially one of the later levels which looked like massive dark cathedral, music sounded familiar too.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was playing some video game and i had to search for something in forest.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was playing a mod of my ancient doom mod apparently, it was a coop game in some maze and there were dangerous enemies, then as we reached some point suddenly enemy players started appearing, final fight was going on in the room with tables and i've had some pretty powerful weapons that made fight rather simple. Then later we were discussing stuff and trying to figure out what is going on with the game.

      Dream 3:

      I was playing some kind of mix between UT99 and UT2004 and the level was an indoor, metallic, area with alot of ramps in various formations forming some paths up, then on top there was a generator room. I was apparently playing versus a team of two who were doing pretty good due to me not knowing the level and were sniping around using sniper weapons with white beam that worked pretty much like shock rifles. At one point i was dropped down by one of shots and found flak cannon and with it i started doing alot better and noticed that my opponents were actually playing very badly, sometimes not seeing me in a plain sight.
    14. 8th Oct 2013 Confusing doom level, Saving a dragon

      by , 10-09-2013 at 12:08 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was in some video game and there was something about villages and then we were traveling long distances through skies and found some leader dude and then there was something about HoMM3.

      Dream 2:

      I was playing doom, deathmatch vs some people and for it i've specially found pretty confusing level with alot of traps including many player activated ones. The level was split into two parts, bottom part with most rooms and player spawns and top part with switches, i was in top part. I was activating traps while everyone was fighting and then one of opponents have found me. I've used minigun and he was waaaaay too tough for some reason, at the same time i managed to dodge all his attacks and used shadows to confuse him, but then i accidentally fell to bottom part. I started running around and picking stuff up and there were mostly soulspheres, megaspheres and turbospheres, which looked different.
      After some time teleporters activated and i've tried to use them to get back to top, but they were pretty confusing to navigate, i also was using minigun and supershotgun to get a few frags. Then i've remembered about some switch that can summon cyberdemons to the map but at the same time someone used one of trap switches which spammed the level with generic female characters that were not doing anything other than getting in the way of player attacks. Server started lagging so i used cleanup command then after some teleport navigation i was in some completely different place and i was trying to find way out.


      Dream 3:

      I was reading some kind of creature list and i was kind of watching as group of people with artifact weapons were trying to attack someone. Then i've found out that they were attacking a dragon and she had passive innate power due to which everyone was seeing her as different kind of creature, often scary for whoever was seeing, and only i was apparently able to see her true form of a dragon of light-blue color. Then i felt her pain, i focused my will and broke people's weapons apart with it(non-lucid dream control?), then dream faded out.
    15. 5th Oct 2013 Doom/minecraft mix

      by , 10-06-2013 at 12:11 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      i was playing some video game.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was doing some stuff and then lots of people dropped on me but i've managed to overcome them.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was playing some kind of doom mod that increased power of all weapons, and increased player hp too, the level was some city ruins and i was winning against testing bot who was set to highest difficulty.

      Dream 4:

      I was playing minecraft(apparently) with yogscast(apparently) and we were in some bunker thing, it was apparently part of their base but it haven't been used for ages. We were exploring around and i've managed to find some basic equips and we were talking about who gets what and i've gotten bow and arrows. We went exploring further and there was a forest, underground. Then some kind of bush/vine maze and a pool with dolphins and then more caves further.
      Then we teleported back and i suddenly had Doom weapons and interface and waves of enemies appeared all around, invasion mode-style. We still continued exploring bunker while fighting and managed to find a few crates with important items in small rooms. Fighting was more difficult than usual though mainly because player speed was rather slow, that became ridiculous when two cyberdemons appeared and started wrecking stuff because they were moving actually much quicker than current player speed, and i've had to retreat to underground forest area. I've still managed to destroy them using rocket launcher, plasma gun, minigun and some other powerful weapon, though i got hit a few times in the progress and was rather low on hp afterwards.
