Thread: And that's the way the cookie crumbles.

01 November 2009
I was on a road trip with my dad and some of his friends and we had taken two minibuses. I say mini, one was the size of a house and the other was just a tad smaller. The smaller bus was pulling a trailer with a large yacht on it. We had come to a ferry which looked more like a huge, flat swimming aid thing (epic description there ). The ferry took us over an icy lake and it was busy with other kinds of traffic. All the other boats where launching fireworks and my Dad said, “Launching fireworks already?” to which I replied, “They do have to practice.” Assuming they where preparing for a fireworks display.

We stopped at an island inhabited by Inuit people and they where playing volleyball. . One of them lead us up to a hill which had two pyres on top of it. They looked quite 'modernised' with a wire mesh fence around it for fire safety and a brick structure around it. I said, “They should use one of those big, traditional wood... pyre... things.”

We drove on and came to a suburban area, and I was dropped off. I had never ever seen it before yet I was certain where I had to go and I just kept walking in the same direction until I came to a group of houses. The walls of the living area where make of glass and the walls separating the room where wooden. The roof was flat, part of it was wood and the other was a massive slab of slate and it was supported by fairly small wooden pillars. I walked into one and there where about five people sitting on two sofas with a gap between the sofas. All those five people I knew in some way. Not as well as other people though. They all said hi anyway and so did I. I exited that house through a glass door into another house. The house was practically exactly the same to the previous. This time there were twelve people and all of them I knew very well. I thought to myself, “Screw this, I'm staying here.” Then the dream ended.

The very beginning isn't very clear. I remember being in an old house with some other people and a madman. He shoots me in the wrist and I escape and go home, how I got home is beyond me. My mother managed to pull out the bullet with some tweasers but when it was pulled out, it looked like someone had holepunched my wrist. I go out again and come across a river and some of my friends. There where about three of them, one of them was a boy the others where girls. I pointed out that I got shot, the girls where sympathetic, the other guy was like, 'cool!' Which is kind of what I'd expect lol. We all started walking downstream and come across this ladder thing going up the back and into a building we got into the building to see a small crowd of about thirty people. At the center was my headteacher and some other bloke doing a presentation on the history of my school. At the end they presented a logo which the bloke desribed as a wooly loaf, a lizard and some seaweed. I then find myself at my school, to discover that my injury was still present. Some of my other friends come up to me and ask if I want to come into town. I agree.

There were five of us and we came to this street which was deserted. Newspapers littered the floor and there where no cars. On a building to my right were DvD options to the Alien and Predator movies. To my left was a ransacked store, we all entered the shop. Films where all over the floor and all the lights were off or flashing. At the the back of the shop was an area devoted to one film, Predator. It was the only bit that was lit. Everything to do with the film was there: books, posters, cardboard cut-outs, you name it.
One of my friends said, “This is creepy, let's get out of here.” So we did. When we're back on the street, we hear screams and scatter. I find a ladder and start to climb. Atop the ladder I find a bed and as soon as I sit on it, aliens (not the ones from the film Alien) started running rampant through the street. They looked like a sickly green blob with many tentacles and many eyes on stalks. If you've at all played WoW, think of it as C'thun. I notice a sign on the side of the DVD options building and it read, 'Death Toll – 49' and this number kept increasing, rapidly. Suddenly an ethereal being appears to me and says, “Time is short, I am sending you twenty million years into the future!” So he stuffs me into some sort of capsule and all I see is a blinding white light and then the dream ended.

I can't remember this terribly well, I had to get up quickly so I didn't have much time to recall my dream, but here goes. I was hiking along a trail at a cliff edge, it was very foggy, to my right was the thin air, to my left was fields of lush green grass with tall bramble-like plants dotted around. On approaching the highest point (of course I couldn't see that because of the fog) I saw two figures standing around with a bottle of whiskey. They were what you'd call 'a generic posh English gentleman.' They didn't seem to notice me. I don't recall much after that.


I find myself in a river. It was quite murky and polluted and I see all kinds of creatures swimming in desperation. I decide to look around and swim along until I find a cave. I swim down it to investigate it to find some sort of squid colony. The water was a lot cleaner. There were many chambers all filled with squid of all shapes and sizes.
I find this huge, grand chamber all with big, important looking characters (squid characters that is). In the centre of this chamber is an orb of liquid. Like a bubble trapped from reaching the surface. It was here where sacrifices where made to keep the water clean or something like that.
Normal fish wouldn't do, however a special kind of fish (your bog standard goldfish) was needed though it was very rare. One swam right in front of me and stopped to face the squid. He said something which I don't remember and when he finished one of the squid looked very sorrowful. The goldfish swam into the bubble, orb thing and rippled out of existence. I swam out of the cave very quickly and saw the water had cleared and the levels rose (I hadn't noticed it was supposed to deeper in the first place).
I swam to the surface to grab onto some flotsam. It was about to move under a crude rope bridge. I saw some hunter type bloke try to grab me but a hippo surfaced and ate him. I fall off a waterfall just to find myself on the patio of a café.
I find some go-kart and drive off. That's all I remember.

I am walking down a corridor of a ruined castle. A heavily armoured figure is walking in front of me. We reach a portcullis and through it we see a room, the roof was missing, probably on the floor and a sickly green fog lay in the air. The armoured knight, opened the portcullis and transformed me into a bear. He said something and waved his hand and the fog began to lift. When the fog had lifted, I could see the room full of zombies. I charged in and started tearing down the undead. I managed to kill them all. I don't remember anything after that.


I'm in a camp site and I'm trying to ride this bike which is far too small. I can't adjust the seat to what I want. I then give up and find where I am camped. I am staying in a caravan with my family and we have taken rabbits with us. Just beside the caravan in a fairly large pen is where they were kept. I don't remember the rest.


I find myself in a ruined town. I am walking around with nothing but a pistol (I was wearing clothes though). A blonde, bearded man walks up to me. He was dressed in brown robes. I think he might have said something but I don't remember. I run for cover, even though nothing is endangering me at the moment. Far behind where I was standing, a red pickup truck stopped off and it was full of armed ninjas. They walk into one of the buildings. The buildings where made out of stone, but the street itself was like something out of a western. I go in the opposite direction to where the pick-up truck was and come across it again. I did not look to see a driver but I just got in the back. I got my pistol at the ready to do a drive-by (as you do). The truck goes around the perimeter of the town. It is fenced off by a normal wooden fence. The kind you'd see in a field. And the town is surrounded by lush green grass. I eventually get driven to this building with the walls missing though the floors where left. I could see the ninjas just chilling out. I don't recall much after that.

Nothing to report. Got to sleep late and got up in a rush so I didn't really have a chance to recall anything

Hopefully I'll remember something tomorrow

I was exiting this city when I saw a cave ahead of me. I decided to go inside. I found these creatures inside, it's hard to describe, but they looked demonic. Suddenly the world disappeared and I was falling into nothing when a stone platform came to meet my feet. There was nothing over the edges, just darkness. Though could see glowing yellow orbs staring at me, waiting for me to fall. I looked behind myself and saw the silhouette of this huge towering figure with wings like a bat folded behind him. I started to look for a way out. Sure enough there was a conciliar rock which had a piece of white cloth flapping around. There wasn't much wind. I saw a rope at the edge nearest to the rock and I made it into a lasso. The rope kept getting long and I had to pull it up from the pit. It was heavier then I expected. When I brought it up I saw that a crude rope bridge attached (if you've ever seen the climbing rope in a rats cage, that's pretty much what it was). I started climbing the rope until I got within a few feet of the rock. I looked up at the white cloth thing and it looked rather like a DIY ghost. I looked away and looked back straight after and it was gone. I heard a mumbling of words and the rope bridge snapped. I die. I wake up.

Been havinbg trouble with internets and I havn't had much success in the dream recall department either
Hopefully the weekend will yeild some results

You may or may not have noticed that I havn't been around lately. I guess I haven't found time for keeping a dream journal just yet.

Still interested in the LD scene though, still lurking in the forums
