    1. Portal 2 Again and Again Starring Jensen Ackles

      by , 08-17-2013 at 02:37 PM
      I can only remember bits and pieces.. I'm in some kind of mall I think and there's this giant, cylinder-shaped room with bright lights that are like ads, I think, swirling around the walls, and I see some portal and I get excited, and I think I might jump through the ad or something like that?

      At some point I'm playing some kind of modded version of Portal 2 or something like that, and the character you play as is not Chell but some other character that is definitely mute, and Chell is a centaur (which I thoroughly enjoyed, hehe).

      At some point I'm sitting at my old kitchen table and my friend is to my right and Jensen Ackles is to my left, along with some other guy that is farther to my right, but I can't remember who he was. We chat for a bit, and I remember thinking that I could now see him as just a guy and not a famous celebrity, and I was happy/proud about that, and then it gets quiet and it feels kind of awkward, and then I talk to Chelsea about the posts about a storm on Tumblr and how we had something that looked like it was going to be bad and then it kind of faded, and I said, about the people on Tumblr, "People died... figuratively." Then we look at the newspaper in front of me on the table and I nearly spit out tea or whatever it was that I was drinking because there are these ad things again and each ad has a picture of the optic of a corrupted core from Portal 2.

    2. Ice Cream Flavors, The Origins of Chell, and Yume Nikki

      by , 01-09-2013 at 11:05 AM
      I'm writing this hours after I woke up, so I don't remember too much anymore.

      I'm supposedly playing Portal, but in reality it's more like the moon base level of Killing Floor (minus the monsters). I get really excited when I see that other people are in the server with me, because I didn't remember Portal being a multiplayer game. The people in the server assume that I've gotten into the Portal series late, when really it's just been a long time. We keep having these mini "liftoffs" where we hold onto a handle and we are thrown into the air a little bit, and then there's zero gravity. Someone gives me the "Portal movie" and I put it into the DVD player. On a very large flatscreen TV (a little smaller than one at the movies, maybe), is a 2D animated movie about Chell. Now that I look back on it, even though it was supposed to be about Portal, she had her jumpsuit tied around her waist like Portal 2.

      It was a great movie and it was really funny, even though at some parts it didn't really have to do with Chell or Portal at all. I was really excited that there was a good movie about my favorite game series. Later, I'm at this big grocery store where they have a mind-boggling amount of ice cream flavors, popsicle flavors, ice cream pop flavors, sundays, etc. There was also this small conveyor belt that you would sit on and you would grab office supplies off these little shelves as you rode along, and then when you got to the end of the belt, you payed and got off. I rode on it, but just to ride on it and not because I wanted office supplies. At the end, I felt embarrassed about it, so I told the cashier that I wanted those thin sticky notes. However, the ones I could find were pretty crappy quality.

      Later, I can't get my friends to watch the Portal movie. Finally, they come in while I'm re-watching it, but they happen to come in during one of the parts that has nothing to do with Chell or Portal, so I become frustrated. At some point my parents are playing Yume Nikki hooked up to our TV because apparently it's now a console game. They know I love it so they wanted to try it out. They had only been playing it for a few minutes, but they weren't sure what to do at that point. I took the X-Box 360 controller from my mother and explained, while playing the game, that they would probably think it was actually fairly boring, since virtually all of it is just walking around and looking at things.

      At some point, I'm lucid for a bit. I walk around and observe that everything is frustratingly fuzzy, but I forget to try to make anything more clear. I start flying for a bit over a bus that is driving down the road under me, and then I wake up(?).

    3. Lots of Dream Fragments

      by , 11-17-2012 at 05:11 AM
      So I'm Mike from Monster's Inc.(?) and I'm in this big party with a bunch of other Mikes and Sullies, and then some other people come in and we start freaking out and have to scare them all away (they're monsters too).

      At some point I'm having dinner with my parents in some middle-eastern country and there's an edible plant in the restaurant that I grab some leaves off of, but then don't eat them because I'm afraid I've misidentified the plant.

      I'm a part of a TF2 gaming group, but then I say something weird on our forums and suddenly I'm excluded from the "great people" games.

      Two friends from real life and I are drinking tea and coffee, then we decide to mix all of our drinks together in our mugs.

      There's some kind of series of levels that have to do with portal. There's the level with a BUNCH of turrets, the level with heat-seeking rocket-turrets, a level with a giant turret, etc.

      At multiple points during the dream(?) I go outside and there's a bat or a few hanging around, which is great, I love bats. The last time, it's a GIANT bat with cute clothes on and it's swinging around and smiling/making faces.

    4. No One is Real but Us, Matt Smith.

      by , 10-14-2012 at 03:32 PM
      First I had a nightmare that my dad killed the dog with a shotgun and then was going to kill my cat, and my mom was trying to kill herself with a pistol but I kept stopping her.

      I woke up and fell asleep and had another dream that I'm this loser guy on a bike and I find this ticket or eraser or something like that which is the only thing left of a little girl who is looking for her daddy, so I put the object in my pocket and swear that I'll find her Daddy for her. Later, I'm in this office building that has a skate park outside and at first I was using the skate park, then I was trying to hide from this one very angry businessman because the walls of the building are see-through, then when I was in the building, the guy orders me to turn on something because he thinks that I work there. I don't know what he told me to turn on though, so I just go in the direction he points and look for something to turn on. I find myself in a classroom with some students, so I leave there. Then, I find myself in this big medieval-like chamber with a handful of people all forcing a wide half-circle around a human!GLaDOS from Portal, who is giving them orders.

      Apparently the rival company has stolen something from us, I can't remember if it was an object or a person. GLaDOS selects me to go back and get it, so I walk out the heavy wooden double doors and down the hall which is now also medieval-castle-looking. I feel cool to be doing something like this. Then, GLaDOS sends a bunch of other people down the hall too and I don't feel as cool knowing that I'm working as part of a crowd.

      Later, I'm on my journey with my small group of about 4 other people, and one of them tells me that the rest were sent to do other things that will slow down, hinder, or distract the rival company, but we are the ones who will get the thing back from them. Matt Smith (as the doctor? as John Smith?) is one of my companions. We are camped out on the side of the road, similar to a place I know in real life. A cart belonging to the rival company passes by us, and they steal my glasses and one of my companions. A companion that wasn't stolen shouts, "they stole the kid Wheatley!" and I think Nymph from the Portal fandom might have been with us, but that was the first time I realized it. I see a white blur which is presumably Nymph in the cart as it leaves us.

      At this point I am a little bit lucid, because I go back to our vehicle thing and materialize some contacts and try to put them in (but I can't - I'm really bad with putting in and taking out contacts, that's why I don't wear them). But then, the Doctor comes up to me angrily and accuses me of working for the rival company, because I never wear my contacts or go anywhere with them, but today I brought them because I knew that the other cart would steal my glasses. I don't have any real way to refute that.

      There may have been a chunk that I've forgotten, but later, I'm maybe half-way lucid and I tell my group to follow me. Along the way I practice manipulating things around me. When they all get to this drive-way thing with trees around it that I was leading them to, I start waving my hand back and forth straight through a thick tree branch, and explain to the Doctor that all of our companions besides him weren't real. They evaporate when he realizes this. Then I call him "Matt Smith" to see if there's any reaction, but he's too busy focusing on the fact that his companions that he cared about weren't real. Then I possess a tree because I want to see what it feels like to be a tree, but I can't get myself to and I'm disappointed when I still feel like a slightly stretched-out version of myself. Presumably all Matt sees when he looks at me at that point is the tree, judging by the way he looks at me at that point, but he saw me fly into it to possess it, so his eyes are searching the tree when he asks me a question that is very important to him, I think he might have asked me, "am I real?" but I cannot remember for sure.

      Whatever the question was, when I came out of the tree and told him yes, he was so happy that he grabbed the sides of my head and kissed me multiple times. I was very happy for him. Then we were teleported to the Ellen DeGeneres show where there were two rows of teenage girls on thin pillows, facing each other, bent over with their face and torso facing the ground in the adamantine pose. At the end of the row of girls was a throne-like chair that Ellen was sitting on. We were in the middle of the row of girls, about a girl or two away from Ellen's throne. Presumably, we were her next guests? One of the girls looked up and made an angry face at us.

      I wasn't really sure what was going on, but I was still so happy for Matt that I sneaked a quick kiss with him again before I woke up.
