June 06, 2014 Hippopotamuses EVERYWHERE I was at home, and it was getting dark but I didn't feel like going to bed. So I got into my car and started driving. I went down to Doug Ave, and headed north. When I passed the light at Patty St, the road was different from the way it is IRL. Instead of being wide and non-residential, there were houses on both sides, more like the street I live on. But that wasn't the weird part. At the light, I saw the first one of them: A lone Hippopotamus standing at the edge of the road. As I drove on, there were more of them, and eventually I had to stop because there were so many of them, all over the road. They were in the road and in driveways and shuffling about slowly as large beasts often do. I know hippos are dangerous animals, but these ones were more like kittens. They came up and sniffed the car and then left, leaving me alone for the most part. I was amazed, and drove back to where ever I had just come from, where some of my friends were. "Guys!" I shouted. "Guys, there are hippos ALL OVER THE PLACE down on that street. Ugh what's it called? The one with the sketchy gas station where they sell rugs and tapestries!" (I couldn't remember the name of the street for some reason, so I was trying to describe it. But I remembered it anyways) "Doug. They're on Doug Avenue! Come on!" And so a few of them get into my car (Zukin is there, she sits shotgun) and I drive them to where the hippos are. One of the people living in one of the houses to our right came out of their house and fed one of the hippos a carrot. She patted it on the head and then waved at us, before heading back into her house. A hippo came up to the car and playfully headbutted the passenger's side front window (Zukin's) like a kitten headbutting their human. It was all rather awesome. Bus? All I remember from this one is that I was on a bus with a bunch of random people. Ice Test I was taking a test of sorts; it was like an obstacle course with puzzles scattered around, which I had to solve. All the tests were on a huge ice-mountain. Everything was made of ice, and had an ethereal glow to it. I don't remember much of the actual course, but I do remember the last part. I seemed to like it so much that when I got done, I did the last part four more times, at least. It was a series of switchbacks in the ice, and we were supposed to get down as fast as we could. So I took off the jacket I had been wearing and used it as a toboggan, sliding down. The last time I went on that part, I looked over the ledge at the city below me. It was night time and the ice-mountain was lit up, and so was the city below. We were so high up that the city looked like it does from inside and airplane. I looked to my right, where there was a barrier of some sort made out of lots of randomly sized and placed cube-like shapes. They had about the same shape as a Companion Cube, but a little more exaggerated in terms of the corners that stick out. I wanted to see what was "out of bounds," so I started climbing around the ledge to see what was past the cubes. After about ten feet, it was getting a lot harder to climb, and I didn't want to fall, as there was no path below me, only a really really really far drop, and it looked like there wasn't anything further on, anyways. I figured that if there had been a cave or something, I would keep going, but since there wasn't, I turned back and went down the ice switchbacks again. At the bottom, the "teachers" were handing out our grades for the course. I had taken it before, and gotten 98% on it, and since I got 98% again this time, I technically failed it. You only passed if you did better than your best score so far. I didn't care though, because the 98 from the last time was good enough for anything I wanted to do with my life. As I was walking along another ledge at the bottom, I looked out at the city again, which was a little bit closer, but still really small-looking from high up. Then I woke up.

March 20, 2014 I was with the Backpacking group again, plus a few extra people. I know for sure that Bob and Erik were there. There may have been one or two other people, as well, but I forgot who they were or if they were there. We were all going on some trails around a mountain. The thing is, they all had obstacles or puzzles to get past them. The first one I remember had a really steep incline that was hard to climb on your own. There were stairs along the side of it, but the stairs were unstable and slanty, and there was no handrail. We made it past that one, and came up to a monorail type chairlift thing. While getting on, we had to split off so one person from our group (I am pretty sure it was Bob) was left to get on the next tram-thing. We had already decided which stop to get off at, so we weren't too worried about losing each other. What we hadn't accounted for was that the transporter was super fast and getting off was a bit of a chore. The way it worked was that you couldn't really see where you were, but you had to mentally decide when to get off of it and just hope it was the right stop. I shouted for when to exit, and we ended up in a deserted cottage in a glum and misty mountain clearing. I had a REALLY strong sense of deja vú here. I think I may have dreamed of this place before, but I can't be sure. We had gotten off the transport a stop too early, and this place was the one place we hadn't wanted to be. It was dark and creepy and abandoned. Rundown. Dusty. Everything was dim and gray. We all stood there for a moment, and then I went outside to inspect the area, but all these zombies and monsters were coming to life all around me. Every direction I turned, there were things coming to get me. It got cold all of a sudden. Then, Ivan grabbed my shoulder and we went back inside, and the monsters all dissolved back into the ground. We tried to get out of there, but eventually Bob found us. He said he'd gotten off at the right stop, but we weren't there, and he'd assumed we had gotten off a stop too early. We eventually figured out the trick to that "trail," though I can't remember what it was. We found ourselves back on a normal trail, and I pulled out a map of the area to find out where we needed to go to get to where we had planned on going before the mishap wit the transporter. From there on out the dream is blurry. I remember fragments where Jasmine was there, but I don't know whether they were in the beginning or at the end of the dream. I feel like it was before the very steep part, and only for a moment, as she was in a passing group going the other direction. She was with a guy, who I assume was her boyfriend.
March 17, 2014 My family and I were on a long road trip; I can't remember where we were headed, though. I only really remember one part of this dream; we were driving through a wooded area in the mountains, and suddenly the road lead us to a bridge that had broken away years ago. We were stumped for a while, but we found a pile of good lumber nearby; it looked like people had been getting ready to rebuild the bridge but has suddenly stopped, leaving all the lumber there years ago. It was old lumber, gray, but still good and strong. So we rebuilt the bridge. Bob, Erik and I did the work while mom and dad tried to find people or a place to stay for the night in case we didn't finish in time. The scenery was really vivid, but hard for me to describe; it was wooded mountains (it reminded me of Mirkwood forest from the Hobbit) like I said before, but at the same time it was also a bit like a desert mountain with lots of spikes of red rock and arches under which the road wound.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening (...) I am playing some kind of game, following leads, finding clues, to unravel some mistery. I'm alone but competing with other teams. The last lead brought me to this hexagonal atrium, with scupltures in wall niches, decorations on the walls, and the clues I have is "9" and "ice". I look around to find anything that relates to these clues. I see a stone roman nine on a wall and what seems like and ice cristal. I press them, hoping to open some door or something, but nothing happens. Then a couple of other teams appear and they have different clues, but they also follow my logic and start pressing others numbers and symbols. Nothing happens. Then I have the feeling I have been here before and this hasn't worked, so I reason that the answer is cooperation. We all found clues and together they form a password. I suggest this to the others, only a couple of blond girls thinks I am probably right, the others think I just want to still their clues. But after a while of everyone trying their own ideas with no sucess, they consider trying my idea. We try different combinations and I say them out loud. When I pronounce the right one, my voice sounds like a thunderous angel's voice. It shakes the fabric of the universe, it shatters the place we were then. And I find myself in this ohter place, strangely looking like a diner or cafeteria in the 60's. I look around, trying to figure out what's this about and I see my grandparents, younger than I've ever met them. I stare at them and my grandmother looks at me with a frown, like "what are you staring at?". I have the feeling this was the moment when I chose my family, before my parents had even met. When I feel this certainty within me, I then feel like I'm transported to heaven's waiting room, where I am pampered and all my needs attended by incredibly polite waiters. I sit at a bar and I am served nice cocktail drinks I don't even ask for. They also ask me what I want to eat and they offer me seafood, which I reject and ask for something vegetarian instead. But they tell me all the "animal-like" food they have in this place does not come from real animals. No living animal was actually killed, this food is materialized as it is. I still don't think it feels right and I don't eat it. Then a boy sits by my side and starts flirting with me. Says he is a huge fan, I soon realize he is more than that. He is becoming annoying, so I tell him politely that I'm not interested, but he makes a scene, throwing dishes with food on the floor, on his chair, all over me. The nice waiters come immediately to help me, they clean up everything and about my dirty clothes, I understand I just need to imagine a new set of freshc clothes and they instantly replace the dirty ones. He is kicked out from this place. But eventually I decide to get outside of this "waiting room". I go fly a bit over a forest outside, but soon I am shot from the middle of the trees. It fails to hit me, but then more shots follow and I have trouble avoiding them. I fly away to a nearby city, but all the people there look alike and they all turn to me and try to hit me. They don't have guns, but they throw anything else at me. At first I just dodge, but after a while I'm getting sick of it and start catching and throwing back. And I don't fail and they fall and I weaken him/them. Then the time comes... In the middle of the chaos, appears like a nursing room and symbols of my childhood to come. I see a box with toys and the barbie doll ballerina that I will have and hold in my memory 'till this day. Then the dolls become real women experiencing sexual ecstasy and I am being pulled into a vortex. As they reach orgasm simultaneously, I also experience an orgasm and as my body spasms, I wake up.
I'm at my cousin house, her daughter son husband and some of her friends are over. We are all sitting on two couches, and I guess we are all watching a football game. My Uncle builds this thing out of collector soccer boxes from Jack in the box or some shit. He just collected them because he must be better then everybody even at stupid shit like collecting puzzle like soccer boxes. You can put them together into different shapes. My uncle passes it around so he can feel pride that everyone is looking at it, but my cousins husband takes it and kicks it like a soccer ball, so them we all start to kick it back and forth and my uncle tries to get it back but we destroy it, but who cares it's cardboard from jack in the box. Then my uncle storms out of the room and we all continue to watch football.
After a 10 day dry spell, I suddenly remembered lots from my dreams last night, which has made me more hopeful for future endeavors. Good amounts of detail remembered from these two dreams. The first thing I can recall doing in this dream is attending a class at school. It looked similar to my science class from middle school. I met a girl there who I quickly became friends with, though I can't remember anything she said. She had long brown hair and was, unlike a lot of the girls around her, wearing no makeup. The girl and I walked down the school hallway, which also looked like my middle school. We heard a stern voice and looked over to see my high school Japanese teacher yelling at some students for not following the rules and listening to him. The girl and I then attended a version of my middle school English class, except that it was much bigger and more surreal-looking. They were handing out applications for college that let you skip a year and then take a two year course. Naturally, I went to go grab a paper, but when I got up there all the papers were buried underneath heavy books and I couldn't get them off. As I was struggling, a kid I know told me to sit down because I was taking too long. This next dream was a continuation of the previous dream, I think. If it was a different dream, it didn't feel like it. I was outside now, this time at a warped version of my old day care. There were multiple cats walking around, mewing and staring at me. I saw my luggage opened up and arranged neatly on a nearby brick wall (I'm on vacation in real life right now). I explored a little and discovered a small tube with the top part of it cut off. Somehow I determined that I had to fill the tube with water to raise a nearby chain and cut the chain to get a prize. Sadly, I don't recall what the prize was. I also noticed a white cat with orange and black spots hanging out near this area, and I tried to pet it, but it ran off. I then noticed a small toy on the ground. Picking it up, it turned out to be a Boo from Mario, except it was Blue in color. I opened it up and discovered small boo candies inside of it. this reminded me of a toy I have in real life that looks like a Mario mushroom and has mushroom candies in it. I sat down and looked at the candies, but then noticed four hunters with long beards, laughing and walking by. They glanced over at me. "Hello!" one said, raising his gun. "Sup," I said simply. They laughed and started walking away. "Have fun!!" I yelled. They laughed at that too and kept walking. They gave me a creeped out feeling. I woke up and was going to stay up, but fell asleep for a few minutes and had a little dream that I remembered upon waking. I walked downstairs in the rental house we're staying at right now, and the guy who owned it and his kids were talking with my grandpa and laughing. I walked out to the porch, where my mom and dad were swinging. "He seems nice," mom said. "What're we all doing right now?" I asked. "Hanging out with you all!" dad exclaimed. And then I awoke. Not terribly interesting, but it's something! Thankfully, this dry spell broke~
Dream 1(fragment): Some futuristic place. Dream 2: I was in some video game and i was in a dungeon of some kind. I had to find way out of it while solving puzzles together with the team and there was also this narrator/dungeon master voice that was taunting us. Also at some points i could switch to top-down view where game was becoming something like creeper world 3 and i had to solve puzzle by building nodes and relays. There were various enemies to fight too. Then at one point our forms changed to dragon forms randomly and then we have found way outside. We have entered big courtyard-like place and it was night, there was a gate leading indoors to the right and a gate leading out to the left and i had free access to node-relay building interface. The switch to open gate out was waaaay behind gate to the right, but i knew unintended way around it that we could win by connecting relays through like 1 pixel gap in left gate. We decided to take a look at the normal way first, it was white/grey indoor area and enemies started spawning here shortly, but not just normal enemies, but whole groups of most elite and powerful enemies in the game. There were three types of them: Robotic soldiers with swords, Robotic soldier leaders, which had different head than normal, and some kind of brown crab-like mechas. We were able to fight them though due to our forms, but they just kept coming infinitely so i used that unintended wayaround to trigger the exit. We suddenly got teleported into new area and dungeon master voice was congratulating us, there were a few entrances to the next area, some of them were too small for us but we have found one through which we could fit. The next room was an shop-like kind of area where we could use winning points to buy some stuff for the next game, also points were awarded not only for winning but also for various stuff like finding hidden things. The most points reward on the list, which we haven't done, was for killing an unique rat enemy that was so hidden that none of players have found him so far. Dream 3(fragments): There was a story about dragons that came to some kind of ruins and started uncovering them because there was some important artifact hidden.
Dream 1(fragments): I was playing some game and it was about some town in the desert which was attacked by some mutants and there was some time limit, i was using some kind of jeep alot and levels were very branching with multiple characters/storylines. Later i was playing some 3D platformer that was like mix of some that i've played before, there was a global map with central island and four smaller islands, filled with level select areas and in the middle of central place there was an observatory where game started, then i've had to setup alot of controls and i was sitting strangely far from monitor. Dream 2(fragments): I was playing some 2D puzzle game. Dream 3(fragments): There was some story about two kids finding out about some organization and deciding to join it. There was a subway near which some of people from that organization were hanging out, kids came here, one through subway, another found way through rooftops somehow, there was some talk and some of people had special abilities but then kids apparently had them too and they were accepted. Then everyone went somewhere else. Dream 4(fragments): (Kinda continues story from dream 3) Some members of the organization were showcasing abilities in the forest and there was some talk and something about lady with knifes and a survival 'game'. Dream 5(fragments): I was playing some game on extra hard settings and i had to defend the hill from very powerful by controlling bunch of characters and tricking enemies into traps. In the end i've had one character left and i've tried to use whole lot of mines to stop enemies. Dream 6(fragments): (Kinda related to story from dream 3 and 4 as well) I've had interface, kinda like XCOM2012 and i had an army of Cyberdisks and Sectopods in some city under my control, then i've found enemy army but most of them had like 3-4 HP so i've used cyberdisk's grenades to take bunch of them out, enemy also had special character that had powerful effect when it died and global buff when alive but couldn't do anything else and i was trying to figure out what that effect was before killing it, so i was looking for organization profiles and found out that it was not so dangerous. Then there was a cutscene about that character, which apparently was related to lady with knifes.
Dream 1(fragments): I was playing some game with SilentEternity where we had power to create things. Dream 2(fragments): I was watching some yogscast video, they were playing some kind of RPG. Dream 3: I was checking out some custom level for some game, as i was selecting character the level stated that quadruped-type characters are not allowed and it was highly disappointed, either way i've continued with the level. There was some female character with psionic abilities that i had to escort through a garden and there were other various characters that were talking about story and there was some old man following us. Then we ended up in the underground crypt and there had to do some platforming to reach the exit. Ofcourse it was just the first level of the mod and the next one was some kind of japanese temple, this time i was controlling some different character and there was platforming on rooftops and solving puzzles, in one of which i had to find some gems and insert them into statue in place of eyes, all while getting attacked by two monkeys who had some kind of special abilities. After finding the exit of the level i've finally found the team which then captured the monkeys into the bag, but as we continued the way further they've escaped literally through the bag and one of them said that something is about to get attacked. There was city ahead and soon buildings start exploding, we hurry up here and soon join the battle along with an army of wolves led by some girl in the helmet, enemies are various and include some huge mechas and apparently dinosaurs. In the end there was a boss fight versus even more huge mecha.

Dream 1(fragment): There was some video game where i had to search something and there was something about dragons. Dream 2(fragments): I was in some game and i was in snowy forest, i was on some quest and i had inventory full of items, then there was a shop which had various weapons and i was trying to figure out an upgrade path to add one massive laser cannon to my weapon collection. Ended up looking through various tiers of laser weapons in shop, including heat beam weapon, some green laser gun, a few small laser guns, and another huge black-red laser cannon which i believed to be prerequisite for the one i am looking for. Also i lacked alot of items that were required for crafting anyway. Then i went ahead to continue on the quest and was going through some wooden building areas. Dream 3: I was playing some FPS game that was mix of different games. I was on coop mission with somebody(3 people) and we were going through some tech complex. It was rather mazey and at times looked like doom, at one point i was even using minigun from skulltag port to gun down a few enemies including an archvile that could become invisible. Then we had to solve a few switch puzzles and were going through some area guarded by turrets. Then there was room with teleports and i screwed up and ended up back at the level start. I had to go through level again, but then there was one jumping puzzle that was not there before. It involved climbing ladder to the top of the room and jumping on air planes that were suspended in the air. First few jumps were easy, but then there was another jump that involved something about jetpack according to tip, and also there was random drunk demoman from TF2 who was giving free parachutes even though falling damage was non-existent in the game. Dream 4(fragments): I was playing different FPS game where i was going through some complex of skyscraper buildings, then i went outside of complex and there were some strange creatures and i could select one of them to have as a pet, and i selected some red spikey creature. Interestingly they were named after pokemon but didn't looked like ones at all. After that, wave of enemies appeared and we had to fight together versus it.
In my dream my mother and stepfather came to visit me at the university campus (in reality I graduated from college more than a decade and a half ago). I was parking the car in the parking garage of the hotel on the college campus (there really is a hotel there). I did a very poor parking job. I spoke with the parking attendant or security guy about threat to life of a professor of mine. The professor dismissed it, but I believed there had been two assassination attempt on him already. The guy I was talking to said he would look into it. My grandmother could not come for health reasons (in reality she is no longer alive), Christmas was coming - I wondered whether I could instead make a brief visit to here (in Poland) but I was worried because I have a cold and might pass it on to her. My mom had brought a puzzle that required one to find a clue in a library on other side of campus (the layout of campus was completely different from my university's campus, and so was the library). It was like a scavanger hunt. We walked through the cold campus (it was winter in the dream.) The puzzle / scavanger hunt led one to constructing a paper or cardboard box with art design. I was disappointed, and I let my mother know that this kind of thing did not interest me, that we could have skipped the step of actually going on this scavanger hunt and could have just read about it. My mom was disappointed that I was disappointed. In reality it is true that my mother and stepfather are coming to visit soon. I am no longer in college, not since over a decade and a half ago. My grandmother is dead. There are no assassination attempts of course. It is not winter / Christmas. I do however usually do a poor job parking my car. Notice my dream signs: car, my mother, college.
This dream seemed to be kind of like a death game, you would (usually) die in the process, but after the games were over you would reappear at the start. I started Climbing up the pipes. they seemed to stick to basic colors like red, blue, yellow, and green. as you ascended the pipes, which tended to go in 45 degree angles, people would pick up random articles of clothing and put them on. I did the same, leaving my old clothes behind. they consisted of shorts, Tshirts, and underwear of various kinds. as I ascended to the top, after putting on all the clothes, I reached a wall with a ladder. They pulled up the ladder before I could get there. then I died. Again I started from the bottom. as soon as the gate in front of the tubes lifted, I ran up as fast as I could, grabbing whatever clothes I could, and slipping them on clumsily. I got my underwear on backwards. I managed to reach the top first, and climbed the ladder. they let about 30 kids up in total, left the rest to die. then I reached a little area with a lake in the middle, flowing through a gate to the south. to the northeast and southeast, there were small, 1 room houses. in the southwest was the staircase I went down to enter the area. in the little lake, there was a boat. I immediately went across the river on the boat to the small house. I don't remember quite what happened in there, but it caused me and everyone else in it to die. So I started again from the bottom, going a little bit slower, got my clothes on all the right way, and made it to the top before they pulled the ladder up. this time I investigated a set of buttons on a pole near the staircase. There were four of them, labeled with letters from left to right. the letters changed every time I looked at them (derp). I pressed the button farthest to the left, and nothing happened. then I pressed the second button from the right, and I blew up. So this time I made it into the arena without any real issue, and went over to the buttons again. I pressed the left most one again, realizing it must be some sort of pattern. I then pressed the second from the left button. I heard a soft whirring noise. Then I pressed the second from the right, and nothing happened. Finally I pressed the one furthest to the right, and some weird victory jingle played. I felt good. I headed clockwise around the river, past another 2 buttons, and made my way to the northeast building, where Garrison, a friend of mine, pressed on 2 spark plugs. there were 2 columns of 3, and he pressed the top left one, then the top right one. A victory jingle played, and I knew we one.
Dream 1(fragment): I was playing some FPS game and was searching for something in indoor tech maze, there was some kind of farm place/room at certain point. Dream 2: I in Doom game with some people, who apparently were friends, but it was not normal kind of level. It was a huge square room, with one wall being used for gigantic platformer puzzle with lots of elevators, switches and such. We were trying to solve it and at one point i almost found way to the switch on the top that was supposed to unlock other part of puzzle, but i messed up jump making it unreachable for a while because we had to reconfigure lots of elevators and platforms again. In meanwhile we were talking about something else. Dream 3: I was watching someone playing AI War, there was some update that added some kind of missions in different dimensions as well as some new units and changes. he was doing mission after mission, in all he had to fight something with fleet, and there was one purple dimension with pillars that was pretty hard. Also he got some Spirecraft but overall he was failing in places and i said that he is using units wrong way.
Dream 1: The first part of dream was about some game, but can't recall much about it, after that, i was visiting dreamviews and it was looking alot different, there were visually many colors used in the interface and all text was multicolored. There was some kind of huge project about let's plays and everyone was posting alot on it. Later i was watching some anime, which was kinda pokemon-like, but i can't recall if there were any actual pokemon... After that i was playing some game, which started out like multiplayer 2D sideview platformer. I, with some other player, was going through some location like a mine, there were railways with minecarts and there were alot of pits. The second player was panicking alot for some reason and was falling down the pits. After done with that the game switched to be singleplayer 3D FPS and continued in the sewers, and the enemies were clowns and like. I was getting through the level very quickly and the water in some pits was acidic. Something in this level made me make really weird facial expression like if i was trying to make it hilarious but was failing on it really badly. Next level, the game turned into 2D topdown shooter and i was controlling some kind of vehicle while going through some kind of magma processing facility, which was basically platforms over a huge lake of magma with some mechanisms and pipes. There were alot of turrets and decorations to destroy and it was pretty hard to maneuver and dodge enemy attacks since there was not alot of place. Midway through the level the game switched to 3D platformer and the vehicle disappeared. There was a small puzzle where i needed to carry some kind of mechanisms onto the top of three pipes, which was a bit repetitive since path between mechanisms and pipes was the same and i could carry only one at the time. But it opened the path ahead and i had one spare mechanism left, i talked to someone whether it's required and we looked ahead, it didn't seemed like it could be so we left it and continued the way through pretty hard platforming section. I paused the game and decided to check back on the dreamviews, now there was a discussion about the % of something, and there were already alot of entries on the let's play project from earlier. I was showing them to someone else, who was standing next to me and those were let's plays of some multiplayer class-based FPS, which also did included team fortress 2 classes and a bunch of reference based classes, i recall some pirate class and some class that was wearing badly made paper mask. One of the let's players was really drunk. Shortly the dream ended. Dream 2(fragment): I was visiting dreamviews and there was something going on about Linkzelda posting walls of text.
Had some problems waking up again, thus low recall. I recall being indoors in some dark-ish place and solving some sort of block puzzle.
