BahamutZERO's dreams

I was away for a few weeks... re-exams 'n stuff... so I couldn't spend much time into dream business. However, I remember a few dreams from the past two weeks quite clearly (albeit briefly). So I'll jot those down now in this combo-post.

Slender Man's African cousin?
Clearness: Fairly clear.
Vividness: Intense!
Realism: Set in the real world, but still unrealistic.
Mood: Creepy... anxious... still, strangely fun.
Lucid: No.

This dream was about me and my sister "designing a video game" (although that didn't happen like in the real world). In order to do this, we played the game set in the house and in the garden (not virtually, but actually).

The rules were to run from a certain starting point and hide. After a few minutes, a strange creature would appear which would come and find us. The last one to get caught is the winner.
I didn't really know what the creature looked like, but I did know he behaved in a similar manner to the Slender Man. Same rule as in the game Slender counted; the more you look at him, the more of a threat he becomes.

So then we pretty much just ran through the garden, keeping vigilant of the surroundings, every once in a while seeing him vaguely pop up from somewhere in the scenery. He looked like a rather dark, shadowy figure. At a moment when he was nowhere to be seen, we decided to get to the basement and hide in there, as we thought he wouldn't go and look for us there. Unfortunately though, after some time obviously he did.
I panicked a little, and quickly "hid" in a quite poor place, but with my face against the wall, so there is no way he could pop up into my sight. I heard his footsteps. He was gradually coming closer and closer, as if his senses could tell him "warmer" and "colder" in his thoughts. Then... he stood RIGHT behind me. I heard his 2 feet land right behind mine and I felt his breath in my neck. I was shivering with fear. Then I felt a hand touching my back, he rudely turned me around, and then I saw his face from really close, which made me shit brix.

His face could best be described as an African male face with features from Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot, and his facial expression can best be described with this image of Aku from Samurai Jack. It was so cartoonish, yet terrifying.

In the next "scene", our video game was magically created, and we were designing a cover for the game, in some sort of... finger painting like way. My sister drew the image, and I decorated the background with scary lines like "Don't look behind you..." and "He's always watching...".

This dream was blatantly and obviously based on the pc game Slender. Interestingly though, by that time I had never actually played the game yet, I only saw some brief gameplay footage from PewDiePie, so it was more or less based on my expectations of the game. It did make me curious to try the game myself in waking life the night after this though.

Ancient lucid dream inducing room
Clearness: The interesting part was clear, but I remember pretty much only that.
Vividness: Kinda...
Realism: Mostly unrealistic, but unfortunately it was realistic where it shouldn't have been.
Mood: Good.
Lucid: Almost!

So basically in this dream I went on a vacation with my family to... Rome I guess, according to the visual style of the surroundings. Visiting the ruins of ancient Rome, and some museums, toured by a guide.
I cannot quite remember the biggest part of the dream, but I do quite clearly remember the most important one.
At some point in a museum, the guide told us about "ancient lucid dream inducing rooms", which were dark rooms with beds, where supposedly some sort of slight electrical activity manipulated your brain into easy WILDs. All you had to do, is believe that it works.
I was very interested in trying this, as I had been reading about lucid dreaming somewhere before (guess where!), so me and my family decided to try out these rooms and spend the night in them.

I got into the bed, closed my eyes, tried to clear my mind, and after a few minutes, I thought I would open my eyes and try doing a reality check. Now, get this... I actually did a finger-thru-palm reality check, but it didn't work. I think this is probably because I assumed that I had been awake all the time, completely not realizing that I already WAS in a dream all along. So therefore, my reality check had the same result as it would've had in waking life. Augh... so close...!
So then... the next morning I left the room. As a skeptic. Heh.

Ever since I had this dream, I realized I should probably try and take my reality checks more seriously, even though I really already was trying. It's so hard to genuinely doubt reality if you know you're obviously not dreaming. I'll keep up the practice, I guess.

Underwater base action
Clearness: I remember it very poorly.
Vividness: It sure was exciting though for all I can remember.
Realism: Very unrealistic.
Mood: Not particularly good, not particularly bad.
Lucid: No.

This is just yesterday's dream. Nothing important, except it featured my most recurring dream sign, trains.

I can't really tell much about it. All I know is that I looked like Johnny Depp (hey that is pretty awesome!) and it also featured Yuffie Kisaragi from FFvii as the second main character.
It was basically set in a complex underwater base, consisting of hubs that were connected through, guess what, trains. It was probably kinda Rapture-like. The story was roughly about we 2 fighting for freedom... whatever that really meant! I fought with a tommy gun and Yuffie with her shuriken.
At some point something epic happened which involved Yuffie being captured, but she frees herself in some epic way... dunno... aaaaand... well that's it, actually. Nothing new or memorable.
