    Comp Dreams Part II

    by , 07-16-2024 at 03:20 AM (54 Views)
    Back to my apartment tonight, so I can post the rest of the dreams from the competition that I had saved on my other laptop:

    July 6th, 2024 (Comp Night 1)

    Dream 1:

    Some people are at a prom (I can tell it’s a prom because there is a sign that says something like “This is our Prom”). There is something going on with a guy and a girl. I think this might have started out related to the Happy Days TV show at first. Anyway, a guy is sitting at a table, and someone is saying something like “you won’t like it”. Then a show starts on a stage up front, which appears to be some inappropriate burlesque thing. This involves the girl that he likes, and he gets angry. I think people have to hold him back from storming the stage

    Dream 2:

    There is something going on in which people are learning to dive in what looks like a swimming pool. This involves them getting over their fear of going into the water fully clothed, apparently. Someone is encouraging people to do this, and then I do it as well. I kind of show off, being used to doing this, and I jump into the water. As I go down into the water, I find that there is actually just a layer of water and air underneath it. Possibly for the trainees – they aren’t ready for the full water experience or something. There are rooms nearby that are full of water, and I explore these also. A couple of other people go with me, I think. The rooms are connected to other pools as well, so that you can go into an adjoining room and resurface in a neighboring pool.

    Fragment 1:

    I sit down and look at some animals in a zoo. [Possibly the same dream]: walking along a road through the woods. There are bears in the woods. I don’t want to attract their attention.

    Fragment 2:

    In a store with my Mom. There is some underwear on clothing racks.

    July 7th, 2024 (Night 2)

    Playing Lurkers. When I start playing, the blue team is attacking the red team. There are lots of them. I’m part of the red team, and I try to lead a charge against blue. It seems to be somewhat successful. There is a graphic at the bottom of the screen showing the progress of the teams. Red makes a little progress, it seems.
    Replaying Portal 2. There are a few cutscenes of GLADOS. I remember that this was the one with the Cave Johnson stuff.

    July 8th, 2024 (Night 3)

    Dream 1

    Sherlock Holmes is on a case. There is lots of blood involved, and a dog, I think. Holmes goes into a building, and I think the dog follows him. The dog walks into a room with a lot of blood, and starts howling. From the outside, we aren’t sure why he’s howling, and are a bit concerned that something happened to Holmes. But the detective is OK, and comes back out. He is trying to conceal how bloody he is under a blanket. There are a couple of us, and we bundle together under the blanket hoping that people who see us will think that we are a romantic couple on our way home.

    Fragment 1

    Going to Church. In the parking lot, I’m trying to find somewhere to park. The lot is mostly full, but I find what seems to be a half of a parking place. My Jeep fits into this, although someone questions whether or not I should park there. (Possibly the same dream: I’m pulling into a parking place. There is someone trying to tow another vehicle, and I wonder if they needed the place I just pulled into).

    Dream 2

    It's the last day of school. I’m walking down a hallway, and cut through the back of some classrooms. The students are having a pizza party. They also have lots of boxes of eggs. These turn out to be hard boiled eggs, and the pizza turns into fried chicken eventually. So they are having chicken and eggs as a celebration meal. I try one of the eggs myself. It is very large, and yellowish in color. I make a joke to someone. Referring to the eggs and the chicken, I ask which came first.

    Dream 3

    I’m working in a store. My job involves standing at a checkout counter, but not actually checking anyone out. A man comes along, and puts a bunch of stuff on the counter. I think he wants me to check him out, but I explain that he needs someone else for that. I think he might also try to do something he isn’t supposed to do – it involves fruit snacks that are packaged in folders like books. I point him to a cashier, but then the cashier explains that this man is a thief and has tried to steal from them before. The fact that he has shown up again means that we now have to check the food on the shelves, because he might have done something to it. There is some concern about my brother, because if he ate any of the food it might affect his asthma somehow. I wonder why this would be. Eventually, I go to the boss and ask, very respectfully, what the relationship is between the thief and asthma.

    Dream 4

    I’m walking out of Church with a couple of elderly men. One of them has a cane, I think. We are talking about my grandfather, and how he is doing. In the dream, he is not doing so well physically, but his mind is still sharp. I mention this, and say something about how a good day for him is when his mind is clear. We come to some stairs and I wonder about the man with the cane. He seems to think he can do the stairs OK, and we go down. In the parking lot, the man falls down. By the time I get to him, he is back on his feet, and he starts jogging across the parking lot.

    Fragment 2

    Working in the lab.

    7.11.2024 (Night 6)

    Dream 1

    A lady is assisting with a magic trick. It involves a painting. Presumably the painting is supposed to change in appearance, or something. She is holding it in such a way as to be unable to see it herself. The picture changes, I think, and when she looks at it she is surprised. In fact, she had been sure that it would not change, and is so embarrassed and/or shocked that she falls over and starts crying…

    …There is a disease that some people have. The disease is fatal, but there are some fungal spores that help. I recall seeing some, and go to find them…

    … There is something in which we are able to communicate with someone through a drinking glass. Then some cookies are dropped into the glass …

    …There is some event going on outdoors. I get in my car to go somewhere. I see a lady coming behind me, and think that she might want a ride. I don’t want to give her a ride, so I try to leave before she can ask me. I also notice that a lot of the women around are scantily clad. As I drive away, I decide to pick up something and take it back to the event. It turns out that what I am picking up is bundles of money. They are bundled together like roofing shingles. I bring them back, but then drop them on some stairs on my way.

    Meanwhile, someone asks me about the “blacker beach”. By this they mean a traditionally “black” beach (as in an African-American beach harkening back to segregation), only “black-er”. I don’t think I know exactly what they are talking about, and I start to mention this to someone standing with me. I notice that the man I am talking to is a minority, and I think I try to avoid bringing up the racial component…

    Fragment 1

    …There is a town where they are planning some big Gay pride thing. I’m considering going to protest…

    Fragment 2

    …In Church. They are singing a song. My brother is on stage, for some reason, and I don’t like that. I try to sing along. The song ends, and it is nearing the end of the service. I make some loud comment about my brother being on stage, which I then feel embarrassed about. The service soon ends though.

    Fragment 3

    Painting a rock on campus a gold color.

    7.12.2024 (Night 7)

    Fragment 1

    Something about the Lone Ranger. I seem to be pretending to be tracking them, and say to whoever I’m with that I see the tracks of “two men – one white man and another white man pretending to be an Indian”. Then there is something about some poles, or something.

    Dream 1

    Playing lurkers.io. I get killed and respawn with a crossbow and a new thing – which turns out to be a motorcycle. At some point I either fall, or perhaps there is an explosion and I am launched into the air. I manage to make my character land on a block, and try to get back to more solid ground. I jump from block to block, until I find myself trapped with a bunch of blocks. I start digging away at these, but accidentally dislodge a bunch of them and the section that I’m standing on gives way.

    7.13.2024 (Night 8)

    Dream 1

    Walking around Wellington. There is a little kid who starts telling me about a weird man who lives in a certain house. He can see through the window. It’s a bit vague what it is that he sees, but it seems to be kind of sinister somehow. Neighborhood kids go in there and disappear, or something. It’s almost as though this weird guy has some power over this kid. He fears that he will go into the house, either against his will or under something like hypnosis. There is also something about people starving. I think that my Church could help, but I don’t have any information for him to contact. So, I go to find some information, possibly going to the Church.

    By the time I get to wherever there is contact information, the story has shifted away from the starving people and more toward the idea that the weird man is dangerous. We need to warn people about him. So, I write up a notice to give to the kid and to make copies of to post around town. But I only have one notice, so I need to find a copy machine. I start out toward a city building (the courthouse?), but on the way realize that I could go to the library and make copies too. I go into the library, and there is a scene or two in which I worry that I might be followed. I make a dash for an elevator, and make it inside before the doors close.

    Fragment 1

    My Aunt is going down some steps. She is going rather quickly, and in a weird way. Towards the bottom, she falls…

    Fragment 2

    …We are going to have a meeting, to talk about Thanksgiving. This might be at Church, at the University, or some combination of both. There is something about meeting the family in the front of the Church holding banners that say something. I have what seems to be a small t-shirt that I am holding…

    Fragment 3

    …Going into some catacombs. This is part of a video game. I’m talking with someone, or someone else is talking with someone, about making dirty videos. But they are talking about it in a kind of sentimental way. They hope to raise some friends here in the catacombs (as in, raising the dead). Then they start fighting with a woman.

    Fragment 4

    My Dad and I are walking around a town at night. There is a street that you can walk down that I like, with a bunch of lights and some arcade-style games. We start going down there, although I tell Dad that there might not be much open at this time of night. It turns out that there are some games that you can play. My Dad asks me if I want to play one of them – a ski ball kind of game. I decide to play.

    Something about a person who fell in love with the sick person with whom they were communicating. This is likened to Florence Nightengale. [Interesting thing - The next day, I went to the store and saw some guy with a t-shirt that said "Florence Nightengale Vibes".]


    7.15.24

    Dream 1

    There is some restoration work going on. Some nice wood is laying off to the side, looking as though they are going to get rid of it. I ask about it (possibly because my Dad wants it if they are going to trash it), but they are going to keep the nice wood paneling. My friend and former coworker, N_ shows up at some point. I find myself still attracted to her, even though she seems to be bald now. Also, she is married. But her husband seems to ignore her. I’m tempted to flirt with her, but she is married even if her husband is neglectful.

    Then someone approaches in a vehicle. Maybe it’s her husband? Anyway, there is a scene reminiscent of something from Mad Max, with cars and such, and then something that reminds me of a scene from an old John Wayne movie in which there is a shootout. Then there seems to be an outright slaughter.

    At some point, I find a room that I remember working on in the past when I did restoration work. There is a squirrel and/or a cat in this room. At first, I think, there is the squirrel. It seems to be injured, or sick. It, and/or the cat, has some large lesion on its back. Then the cat chases the squirrel, I think. Something happens to the lesion on the animal, so that there is a large hole in the back now. There was also something about a damaged baby doll – kind of creepy looking, with something that happened to its face.

    At another point (possibly the same dream) people are being interrogated about something. This seems to involve torture.
