More catching up.

Dream:

Playing TF2 as Demo, don't remember for which team. Had the pipe bomb launcher, an RPG-7 too, but looked like the HL1 launcher...

Later on in the dream, after a very slim win of the match, by kills score alone (would have been a draw otherwise), I am walking around with old classmates. Unusually, I feel tired in the dream. Then I think about covid, and how we aren't wearing any masks or anything. I remember a concrete building I'm in? Lots of staircases maybe. But well lit, overall, high ceilings too.

The place outside looks like L. I walked out of some lobby place? I start to feel uncomfortable being so close to everyone else (because of covid), but nobody else seems to care.

As we're going down some cobbled steps, I notice a uniforms shop. The stairs are very wide and go down quite a distance, but this seems typical of L. The logo reminds me of UPS, same colour scheme but not shape? I think to myself "I can buy a labcoat there, later", having some follow-up feelings about not wanting to have classmates around me for that. But unfortunately, despite my very clear dream sign thought, I didn't remember to do a RC, I think because I didn't see a visual cue of the DS advertised or on display at the shop.

(relating to the feelings) I remember thinking that I didn't want to go in now since my classmates were around and I'd feel embarrassed. But I also think about how the shop looks closed anyway. Cloudy day? But not overcast?

Then further down along the stairs or whatever, on the left, there's a pair of black and bearded/old vagabonds, one having a cane or long stick. I think I woke up after this while still going down the cobble steps of the stairway. I remember a (typical) long green railing in the middle, but I think this colour isn't used anymore actually.

At the bottom of all the steps was a road cornering from the left to straight ahead, in terms relative to my own position. Squareish building on the bend across the road? Maybe quay or dock area further along. Visual recall is too poor after over a week since the dream now.

~9:12?

Trying to fall asleep again as WBTB. Slideshow of 80s style VANS shoes advert? No visual recall of this anymore.

~10:40

Fragment:

Return to the first dream theme, was with old classmates again. Sausage rolls and other such typical pastries. No visual recall that I can gather.

Notes:
- Although I didn't realise it, I suppose there's a semi-direct link between uniforms and TF2. I thought it was curious that TF2 showed up in dreaming, since I haven't played it for years, though I have had passing thoughts of it recently.
- Covid didn't start featuring in my dreams at all until recently, but I'm not entirely sure why yet.
- The thoughts about my artificial DS would have been enough to prompt a RC in waking life.
- The appearance of one of the vagabonds (to my recall) makes me think of some vagabond in the Matrix? Or some other stereotype appearance.
- Old classmates have been reappearing a fair bit lately, it had become an uncommon DS for a while but seems to be getting common again. Need to re-think about significance for waking life purposes.

Ever have those dreams where you wake up and just can't remember it in full? So much happens that you just forget how things happen.

The whole dream, or set of dreams, centered on this group of friends. I believe it started when we were driving past this group of people walking along the side of the road. We decided to turn around and walk with these people to see what they were up to. There was 2 people leading the others, with around 4 people in back. It was in a countryside. I saw a forest on one side of the road and open fields and crops on the other. We walked for some time, but I tried catching up to the people in front. I don't think I ever made it.
There was this hotel that I visited a few times. It had this special elevator in it that went to a secret base if you knew how to properly activate it. This was the group's base of operations I think. It had this professor inside who I went to for information a few times. I think the elevator came from me wanting to do the TOTM. I sadly do not recall much about this professor though. He may have been someone like Albert Einstein or master splinter, I just do not remember. The dream may have involved time travel. I remember there being a girl that I really liked, and she liked me back. She had red hair and was really pretty. We spent as much time as we could together, but at one point I was turned into a child for reasons I can't remember. We still spent time together, but we couldn't be as close.
There was another scene that had this huge pit of gunk. It was the nastiest water you could ever think of. It went down a long way, but it had something special at the bottom. I think it was an instant death crystal or something. I remember seeing this pit twice. Once full of water and once empty. It was a circular pit full of mystery, but too dangerous to go near no matter how full it was. My dream mother (who I think was actually Emma from Once Upon a Time) was looking into this pit with the van parked next to it. We were allowed to look into mysteries, kind of like the scooby doo gang, but our leader was quite strict. I believe our leader was the same guy from the elevator part. There was this little girl (Looked like Wendy from Once Upon a time) who only had one chance to be part of this group, and if she screwed it up then she was out. My dream mom had two chances. There was this second van driving over to us which had the leader in it and the little girl who was in the passenger seat decided to drive the car out of the way of the other van. My dream mom got mad at her and told her it was not acceptable to drive the car. She was party on edge since the car almost knocked her into the pit. The professor got angry at my mom and said she was in the wrong for correcting the girl, and told her she is on her last chance. There was one final part of the dream that involved one of the group's grandfather being poisoned. We went into the creepy house and saw him lying on the ground almost dead. There was a sign there with 5 Bonk! Atomic Punches from TF2 that said we must drink the blood if he is to survive. We all drank, and it made us all crumble to the ground with how gross it tasted. A few of us even threw some of it back up. We got word of another incident, and we went across the street to check it out. The same thing had happened to another family, but we weren't about to repeat what we had just done.
The last thing I remember was seeing a group of friends just like us that were still around the neighborhood from when they used to be the go to people 50 years ago. They were very old and creepy though, and they were talking abut magic and how they wanted our youth and power. I think they were the ones behind this mystery.

I remembered a lot, but don't know the order or many specifics. Oh well, there will be more dreams.

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.

Finally decided to start writing down dreams on this site. I've just recently decided to attempt lucid dreaming again (I've got pages of dreams from 2011, starting again)

It's my Birthday, and a troop of little kids are leading me to a room. it seems to be my old room, with small tables on the back right corner. The tables are littered with random junk, and two giant presents: one plain box, and a giant cup or something. The kids keep telling me to open them, but I'm refusing to do so. Eventually, I give in and open the cup. There's nothing in it, thanks a lot. I turn over to the second one and open it. Inside is a yellow box, and in that are Lego toys.
"Aww Mom, I don't like these anymore!"
One of them happens to be a knock-off toy, which used to be a part of recurring dreams a long time ago. etc etc

Next, I'm in a music class for trombones (I play the trumpet btw, never played the trombone.) We all walk into a room and line up at the wall. I hold up my trombone and see what it feels like holding it up. The slide is a little sticky though. I also worry that the back of the instrument will hit the wall seeing that we're against it, but it doesn't. Eventually, the music teacher tells me to hold my trombone the right way, and I look over to my classmates. The others are standing at attention with their trombones folded up (?). I then fold up my trombone as well and follow suit.

Next, I'm playing some game where a bunch of people have to fight one boss. It starts out as all of us in a cave trying to fight this guy, and I keep dying since I always go up close to him. Eventually it turns out I'm playing TF2, and if you know the game, we're playing the Saxton Hale mod I'm assuming. The map has a tower in the center with a spiral ramp going to the top and the boss always seems to be right there. Buildings surround the tower, completing the map. In the game, it seems that players can call in help, such as crit rockets coming in from the buildings directly at the tower.

I start out as Scout, but when I look down at the buildings I see a whole clump of medics all jumping around. I realize that they're all setting up a plan to take down the boss by gathering lots of ubercharges. I then join them - switching to a medic, replacing my Vintage Kritzkrieg to a Quick - Fix (weapons).
Eventually, we all swarm up the ramp to the top of the tower where the boss is waiting, and we all start healing ancd ubercharging this single Huntsman Sniper who is standing right beside the boss with his bow drawn. Before I know it we are all jumping around down the ramp and celebrating, I'm assuming we won the fight.

Weird how I dream about old toys and games I haven't played in a while.
By the way, I remembered the trombone dream while taking a shit and thinking about instruments.

The infected plains:
A really creepy dream about a big piece of land with all kinds of different grounds, at the start of the dream I was seeing a map of the place with different colors for different types of ground (including things like: stone, sand, grass, shallow water, deep water), they were also labelled with numbers from 1-99. I think the 99 meant no human can normally pass through, which I think was assigned to deep water as normally passing through was defined by walking on it.
I was walking around together with someone else, and there were somehow infected humans who had a horribly distorted voice and language, who obviously were dangerous, the higher level infected ones however were able to imitate normal behavior to be able to more easily infect others. A part of me was unaware in the dream immersed, yet I had another part watching and knowing about their infection and the danger. In the end the combination of both sides compelled me to touch an infected cat which then made strange noises and gave me a scratch on the leg which woke me up.

Spear gun trip:
I was laying out some type of magical traps in this slightly western like looking city (the street however was very sloping and really narrow) and some people started shooting at us (whoever was there with me didn't follow me though), I picked up a bit of ammunition and got my spear gun (Bioshock 2) with some rocket spears ready.
But as I went around the corner the dudes were gone and I found myself in a slightly dark underground complex, there was a sniper (TF2) whom I missed with my first shot, he decided to taunt me and got himself a rocket spear in the face, then 2 scouts came for me from the level below and I immediately hit one of them with a rocket spear, the other one using the stairs to come after me. After a undetailed fight I was searching through my weapons, confused not to find the weapons in the order I'm used to. On slot 2 I found some types of wine of which I used so called Sourwine to attack him and inflict acid damage.

Strange mission:
I was having a mission together with a companion (a girl slightly younger than me if I recall correctly), through some gestures I send her to get something (a small thing, maybe a key) while I myself was going in the opposite direction. From the green hills I was walking on a short moment ago I come into this dark place where a lot of magicians gather some strange points, they were my enemies and I tried to take them out one by one without getting the attention of the whole bunch.

This night was just crazy...

1. The dream was starting with me in 3rd person watching one dude (I think older than 20) and one girl (about 16 I guess) in their home and a lot of idiots invaded their home and threatened the dude to cut off his member (because those 2 were their enemies in some way). But the girl (about 16 I guess) started slowly taking her red clothes off and danced to diver their attention (didn't remove her bottom though), she was able to somehow just make them go away without anything bad happening. The next morning I was watching a bunch of other people going with a very questionable scientist (instead of having skin and hairs on his head you could directly see his brain, one side green and the other red, slightly glowing ), and with some indescribable details one of them stole something from his lab.

2. I was driving per train through Germany searching for a specific strange beach (not actually existent, it was a beach I once dreamed about, with a lot of strange small islands and unnatural rock formations a few meters away from the beach).
We had some short irrelevant argument how to continue after we didn't found it, so I used Google earth to use the zoom in function to find it, and in fact I found it in the south of Germany (Germany was actually connected to water in the north and the south as opposed to the reality where it's only north). When I zoomed in closer the map also changed from satellite picture to a map where the currents where noted.

3. I just arrived at some subconscious world (only my guess, might've been something different, the arrival was also connected with a red glowing computer mouse) and I watched Dumbledore die after being attacked (with some sort of lightning I think). Later I was in some pseudo-desert (there was sand on the ground but it was rather cold and didn’t feel right) and Naruto and Sasuke were starting a fight. Naruto was saying something about Sasukes complexes and created a symbolic pyramid, and then Sasuke smashed it to pieces and threw another pyramid after him.
Then I saw the scene from Sasukes perspective a moment as they were telling Naruto that Dumbledore was gone for good. There was someone (rather something) standing behind Naruto, it had 2 heads and then started to cut off the one which was on his left side, that head looked in a strange manner for a moment and suddenly grew cat ears and a tail coming out from the neck. He then progressed to put the severed head onto the one which was still (more or less) in place and then got closer to Naruto (to attack I guess). It was also at that point I got to see my first long awaited space panorama as the ground was suddenly gone and I was seeing a vast space with a huge red-orange nebula and some asteroids.
In the dream though I didn’t particularly care about anything I’ve seen and suddenly I was somewhere else, myself again (more or less I think, not totally sure). First I’ve seen a blue glowing computer mouse (obviously the counterpart to the red one at the start) so I picked it up and pressed the left button (which should have brought me out of there). As nothing happened I looked at the screen of the PC and noticed a problem with the energy dispersion throughout the complex I currently was in. Everything was in Japanese though so I could only experiment a little to see if I get it to work. Somehow I came to the conclusion I had to do something elsewhere first (probably due to the few numbers I saw) so I was getting ready to move around but since I noticed some enemies coming closer, I first of all picked the heavy as class to defend with, through which I became the Heavy myself, equipped with the brass beast. I had to fight of other classes from TF2 (explicitly I remember 1 Demoman, 2 Heavys and 2 medics). Unfortunately I woke up before I could finish my quest.

Another world:
I was in a totally different world from here and remember going through a lot of places, everything was a lot more advanced then here, with me starting in some sort of huge highway and then going through a city of sorts. I was with some people and the biggest thing I remember was an conversation with someone what was being controlled by a psychopath. We managed to capture and restrict him and while I was about 3 meter away from him I said I was absolutely going to kill him if I saw him one more time like that. After no significant response I came closer and asked in a threatening way if he would rather lose his life now. At that point I saw he had a flashing headband which was the thing that partially controlled him. He answered with an obvious "no". I repeated myself and said something like: "Do you want to die being controlled by a psychopath or do you want to try living?", on which he again responded he wanted to live so we helped him get rid of that headband.

TF2, way of the scout:
In a dream I was thinking about which team a scout would go with an BLU mother and an RED father, and a short story emerged. The scout went to the RED team first following his father but since he didn't really like his father and BLU always lost he decided to join BLU to prove that RED won't always win the payload races.

Some Harry Potter stuff:
Harry and some other people were in a huge building, chased by something strange flying which they couldn't hit at all. Se he decided to mix a potion which would create a weapon which couldn't be heared (or probably sensed otherwise) and got some admiration for his mixing skills.
