Hi... I'm new to the board, and have a long history of really-freaky-lucid dreaming! This topic interests me because seeing some of the weird things said makes me feel less alone. I could fill this with quotes but I'll try to pare it down to a "few" (ahem), but if anyone would like to check out my travelings the best entry point is probably:

But here are some weird quotes, along with links to the rest of the relevant dreams:
Someone who looked like Mr. Sulu was reading a bunch of old internet emails and trying to explain to me about the future:
"Sulu": "There is something you need to understand about showing people Future Things. You have to be careful. It's a lot like if you are dealing with someone who has never had a grape before. When you give them their first grape you must be 100% sure it's not a sour one...because if it is sour, then every time they're asked if they want a grape after that they will say no."
(from Sour Grapes of the Future)
In response to my questioning, someone identified as "Jupiter" gave a speech:
"Jupiter": "That cat, not the cat study! Let me say it again: the CAT...NOT...the CAT STUDY! Look, you say 'Take away all the illusion and show me the truth! I want it right now! There is little yelling man made out of ice 3,000 miles away from my speaker(?) that only I can see. Now that I know he's there, I want other people to see him, so hand him over to me now so I can show them. It's my right, because it's true!' But what do you think it's going to be like once they can see what you can see, and this "truth" is laid out? No one will be impressed, not you and not anyone. They will just laugh and say oh, that ice guy, I went to school with him in a past life, he was always a joker..."
(from The Cat, not the Cat Study)
I asked a giant plush shark about the existence of God and what I could look forward to, and it had this to say:
shark: "We think of God more as...well, more like a 'preservative'...so that is the model we use when creating architecture."
(from Let God Be Your Preservative)
A DC derided our scientists, as many of my inquiries have to do with the scientific verification of life in other dimensions:
man: "Your scientific establishment consists basically of amateur surrealists. They spend all their time trying to explain how all of conscious life emerged from a pool of water molecules with no outside intervention."
(from Amateur Surrealists)
After some kind of strange transdimensional bust of an unauthorized "Matrix", I was scanned by a man and woman who found readings on me to be unusual:
woman: "It's been turned down from 16 to 18 Hulls. That's unusual, nobody uses that range anymore."
man: "Look, it's set up with two layers. One is labeled 'Bathroom Layer Normal' and the other is called 'Bathroom Layer Depraved."
(from Bathroom Layer Depraved)
One was trying to give me a quiz to see if I was authorized to view Wikipedia. He showed me a map that looked nothing like California:
man: "All right, we give you the California test. Let us say that you are running a boat rental company... here. One day a lion comes to you and wishes to rent a boat to take out for a day in honor of his great home country of North Korea. Do you let him rent the boat?"
(from Human Hedgehogs)
In response to some inquiries, an Indian Youth had an odd contemplative religious question I found a bit striking:
indian youth: "Do you believe Adam's apple has... a long, long lineage?"
(from Noi Si Cerul)
Ok...well I could go on, but I'll stop. Lots more weirdness in the journal, and I welcome readers and commentators. Looking forward to chatting here!
