In Dreams

[dreamer-aryn]

First off we [me and an unspecified group of 2-3 others] were travelling down this coastline, headed for a research station or something, and weird things were happening in the ocean [something invasion or war related], off to our right as we were driving. Like you could see some things out in the water but it was rainy and choppy and it wasn't clear what they were. So we get to the research station which is just this building like a large singlewide, and there are four people working/living in it. There are two bedrooms on the right end and two on the left, with a kitchen/living/research space in the middle. The two people on the left end are sort of just...researchers, while the ones on the right are like..."plants" from The Company, which is Bad. Sort of there to oversee and tattle if anyone is doing anything they're not supposed to. Heavy "Big Brother" vibe. Time skip (a few weeks, maybe months?) and we're driving to the station again, ocean on our right, but now there's this enormous *ship* thing over the water, dark rusty brown with a ton of little windows with gold light shining out of them, with these long cables that look like they're anchoring it into the ocean floor. But the ship is above the water itself, not floating on the water. We're shocked at how far Things have progressed, and rushing to get to the station so we can regroup and debrief with the researchers. But when we get there things are very weird with the researchers; they seem unharmed but are extremely apprehensive about The Managers or whoever, who have been shut in their respective rooms for days and haven't made a peep. They want to help us (and we are apparently trying to overthrow the Company or at least do some stuff that will get us in big trouble), and they'll do what they can, but they're very worried about Those Guys coming out and catching us and then we'd all be in deep shit. Weirdly, the last time they saw those two, they were sort of blasé about anything going on at the station, but it's unclear why they would be, since their whole job was to oversee and tell The Company about any wrongdoing. Time skip again, and we're at The Company headquarters. There's basically a bounty out for me - I'm to be apprehended on sight, with brute force if necessary. So I am DEFINITELY sneaking, and my companions may or may not be recognized as well so they're having to be careful too, although less careful than me, since even if someone sees them they can just nonchalantly walk down another hall and disappear, whereas if anyone sees ME they're running after me immediately. So we've infiltrated, but I get cut off and I'm in this dark little office with a glass door. Some little robots [which apparently go around the office and just scan for anything suspicious, they're like roombas but with little boxes on top] start to head into the room, and as careful as I can I reach out and slowly shut the door as they're heading for it, then I duck back into the corner out of sight. They just run into the door and sort of beep (there are two of them), for a minute, and then just turn around and go the other way. I spot one of my companions trying to help me get out and to wherever it is we're supposed to be, but as we're trying to meet up, someone spots me. I start running, and she beckons me as she's running to, and darts into this office and pulls me with her. It's a priest - like full on Cardinal-in-his-Office attire, sitting at a desk in this white office with a window behind. What he hell did she bring us in here for?? It turns out that the Priest is more than he seems; she asks him for our help, and I add my pleas as well - he's literally our last hope; not just us few people, but humanity. He HAS to help us. So he sighs, and beckons us to follow him through a door in the back right corner. We do, and it leads into this large room (again, all white)that slopes down to a flat space at the bottom, behind which is a pool of water along the back wall. There's a single chair in the middle of the flat space, and somehow as soon as we see it we realize

that he's been doing some pretty awful stuff in here; torturing people, most likely. He sighs with guilt and explains to us a little bit, and it turns out yes he's helping us but he's also sort of an interrogator for the company, and he's been trying to play both sides, and he hates the things he's done but that's what's allowing him to help us now. So he directs us to go through another door, and we head that way; this whole time I'm thinking...won't they just come in and ask him point blank if he helped us escape? And it turns out [not stated in the dream but somehow I knew] that he has skeletons and bodies and shit stored for this purpose and he can just pull one out and be like "I fucking killed her after I got the information I wanted" and they'll believe him because he's so high up in the company.

I dreamed last night that I was on a train, and the train was haunted by the ghosts of everyone that had been killed by it

[dreamer-aryn]

Dreamed I answered a question at a CR live show, and as a reward I got to do a meet-and-greet backstage with them. Ended up becoming friends with them and hanging out sometimes when they were in town, although the cast member I most admired mostly ignored me and did not find me funny at all. They had this condo that they would stay at, and after a few times hanging out there they ended up selling it, and I had left some things there over time apparently, including several pairs of jeans in the freezer. “What the heck, I have only been here 3 or 4 times, how come I left so many clothes??”

Post apocalypse although some cities survived but the rest, and much of the countryside, has been destroyed by Dragons. Out there is a Wasteland. It’s Father’s Day, and I get this idea that I really want to get my dad some of the cologne I used to get him when I was little (it was always the same one) and the stores don’t have it anymore, of course. There are still stores and stuff but they only have more handmade things now, or goods that have started to be manufactured (loosely) in the years since the Event. So I go out into the Waste, to dig around in the rubble and find him a bottle of this stuff in the remains of the old city.

I have to fend off a couple assholes who think I’m an easy mark, but they clear out quickly enough once they see I can defend myself. Finally, digging through the ruins of some apartment building, I find a little bottle, basically just a sample, but that’s enough. And then I see a picture frame...that looks familiar. I pull it out. 

This was our apartment.

[dreamer-aryn]

Semi-post-apocalyptic setting? Sort of like we were set back in time by a huge war or event but everything wasn’t destroyed, we just didn’t have technology anymore really. Phryne Fisher had two uncles but they were Crowley and Aziraphale. She’d been dating this younger guy for some time, and they didn’t know about it, and he was very concerned they wouldn’t approve because he was just a fisherman. But he was determined to make something of himself. He and Phryne hadn’t even kissed yet though they’d been dating for some time and he proposed to her, and he fully expected her to turn him down but she kissed him instead and he was over the moon. So then he went off to get his stuff in order to sort of present himself to the uncles....then it’s some time later and Phryne comes upon the uncles who are at her little boyfriend’s fishing place, and she’s worried they’ve come to scare him away from her, but they’ve met him and they approve and they think it’s all very sweet as long as Phryne is really in love.

[dreamer-aryn]

First of all I was with some guy who was married but his wife was like....just an awful human being and they were not really together anymore but still lived In the same house, and they had a little kid. And I was there in the house too trying to avoid her seeing me, but it was a huge house so actually kind of possible. So anyway I was going to the wine cellar for something and she was there with her like...bodyguard guy? He looked kind of like Ragnarok Heimdall but he was like a...seer? Or something? And then she ended up seeing me, well I just stuck around anyway because apparently she would do awful stuff to the guy if I left then? Not sure. Anyway I was in the kitchen trying to do something and their lights went out. I tried to turn on a different light and accidentally set off the alarm for a second, but turned it back off, and their kid showed up and pointed out the right button to use, and I told him thanks and turned it on, but the light just sort of faded in and out, and I apparently was worried there were electrical issues or that something else was wrong in the house. So my guy appears and I tried to tell him and he basically just rolled his eyes and was like...why would I care about that. And then he saw my phone was in my hand (I think I was trying to look up why the lights would do that) and he’s like....god you never put your phone down do you? And I was just like........wtf?? So I told him to fuck off, the only reason I was even there was for his sake, and also the only reason I had my phone out, and he could kiss my ass. And I stormed out of the house.

Well outside was the lady and her seer man, and they were like...trying to tell all these other people about "evil beings" in their midst, they had a name but I can't remember, maybe children of the dark? And then I remember thinking, that seer looked at me before and saw nothing, but he should look at me now. Look at me now, look at me now! And then I held up my hand, and summoned a flame around it, and it was dark magenta. And I looked around and several other random people in the neighborhood suddenly held their hands up too and summoned their own flames.

And then my alarm woke me up.

My friend @greyias wrote some story about how the magical elements of the world were starting to come out of hiding, the good and the bad, and then we were IN the book, and driving in this open car (it was sort of like a hay ride, in the fall, but without the hay?) and someone spotted a goblin, and everyone realized the rumors were true and it was really happening.

Flash forward like a year or so I think? And the fae have taken over everything, and the result has not been good. It turns out the more evil elements got more control and ended up not exactly enslaving the humans but maybe subjugating them? But the guise was still that there was diplomacy and fair interaction between us and them, so they didn’t just round us all into camps or anything. So I was still “free” along with some other people, but my friend Josh’s kids had disappeared, and it turned out that HE had been…conscripted? By the…dark fae I guess you would say. Not nice creatures. To hunt down people for them. There were two of these guys, and one of them was just fucking crazy, and they would feed him this drug or something that would make him basically go berserk and then send him out to hunt people down. They kept Josh in the same place, the like…”fae headquarters” or whatever, but they didn’t keep him juiced they just juiced him when they sent him out, which was the only way they could make him do what they wanted. I guess he had like…good investigative skills or something? So he could find people who were hiding? I dunno. Anyway so we (the humans) decided to try to get him out, and they sent me in to infiltrate the fae headquarters and find him. So he could then find his kids, among other things.

So that was the main part of the dream, me half-sneaking, half-passing-as-a-‘turned’-human through the damn fae headquarters, trying to find him. [it is worth noting that the fae headquarters in my dream was basically a really nice hotel? Like….nothing spoopy about it at all lmao.] The problem was I had no clue what they called him – I just knew it wasn’t his real name, so I couldn’t just ask any of the other humans (nonchalantly of course) where he was. I just had to like, observe what people said and did and try to figure it out. I found the other guy first unfortunately. But I got away from him pretty easily and kept going. But once I ran into the other guy I figured Josh was nearby. But for a long time I had to hide in plain sight – helping other subjugated humans who were like, cleaning and doing mundane shit like that – because this one lady came into that wing where I was and there was something off about her; and then I realized she wasn’t human, she was actually fae just in human form, so I had to be super careful and blend in exactly.

Finally she left, and I was able to get some information from this other lady who was really nice and seemed a bit dumb? Like she didn’t understand what was going on, she just went around dusting things as she was told, but she did know where my friend was so she was like oh yeah he’s in that room right down there just go on in. And I was like thank the GODS but then when I went through the first door, there was like this antechamber, and no more doors but there was a big lever or button on the wall I can’t remember which. So I was like uhh ok? And I hit it, and turns out the room was an elevator?? And it goes shooting up (diagonally, weird) and I’m like….I hope I did not end up in a damn elevator that goes straight to the fae executive offices or some shit, because I have no idea how to get off this thing.

And then I woke up.

[dreamer-aryn]

Me and these two guys who were brothers had these suits or something? May have had inherent super powers but not sure. And we were trying to protect all these people from some nemesis, and there was this arena where we'd challenged him and we planned to take him out. My suit was white, almost like Ironman but white and with a bigger rounder helmet. Don't remember what the guys looked like. But anyway the enemy got there and we like launched up (the arena was like, skyscraper tall, and hollow all the way up so you could play some vertical flying sport in it) and went after the guy. But the middle is blurry and then it moves on to the next part with some woman coming up to me...also it seemed like I was sort of famous somehow (and she was shy, and that's why) but people did NOT know that I was one of the 'heroes'.

So then some woman told me that seth everman had told her she and i shared an interest in something and she was shy but she came to talk to me about it and she talked my ear off, then me and her and a friend were in the back of this car (like a black cab or something) and we were in traffic leaving this event, and a lot of people were walking beside the cars. I saw seth walking (dressed in like a pimp outfit, long fur coat and hat wtf) and called him over and he looked at me and goes "say my full name" and i gave him this super cheeky look and say it, and he grins and walks over. And I start chastising him about sending this woman to talk to me but we're both talking like it's a 40s movie or something (all semi-formal). And he just laughed and was like well sorry (not sorry).

Then he goes on and were driving and I see this dilapidated house and there's a business card sticking out from the rusted screen door, a new card. And I get out and go to grab it and the name on it is mine, but I've never heard of the business although it seems familiar somehow. So I get kind of freaked out. 

Then it cuts to this scene where it shows everyone that night lying happily in bed with their husband/wife/whoever and Seth everman is cuddled up with a cowboy (don't know how I could tell it was a cowboy maybe his hat was somewhere).

But next thing I know I'm waking up in this room, I'm on a bed with the same girl from earlier and we're in like, hospital gowns? And I can't really tell where I am and I grab her wrist (she's awake and doesn't seem upset) and ask her to turn the lights on. They won't come on [hello childhood dream nemesis] and I'm like omg what is happening. Then I hear voices and it's a man and I get really scared. But a youngish doctor comes in and he is really nice and he tells the other girl she's fine, and then looks at me and he's like you are too except by the way you're pregnant. And I'm like???? WHAT?? And I tell him I've been on birth control or something and he's  like well at day 28 you have to poke a hole in the BC package and I'm like, super annoyed, you mean I got pregnant because I didn't poke a fucking hole??? And he's like yep. And I go, well get rid of it!! And he shakes his head apologetically and is like sorry I can't (gives some medical reason) but then he's like, you can get rid of it though, all you have to do is overexert yourself or overeat. And I look at the other girl and I'm like....fuck yeah I can do that. Let me get right on it.

So I start trying to overeat but it's not working and I have this ingenious idea of giving myself a hernia. 

But then it turns into me watching this other GUY doing shit to give himself a hernia, and what he's doing is like, literally casting, from iron, these huge ass balls that he is then dragging with chains. But it's not working he's just carrying them, so he keeps making bigger ones until they're like 3' across. And he has like 5 and for some reason he wants to drag them where all these people are, but they seem to be just getting out of the way. Then at one point i go to help him and we're going up these narrow stairs and the right side  is like  a chasm or something (on the left is shops and there are still a crowd of people surging around us)? and I'm really afraid one of the balls is going to roll over the edge and then yank us with it, but somehow they don't and the people stay out of the way.

I went to this amusement park but it turned out to be this weird cult and once you entered you couldn’t leave. It was a gigantic building like a mall but square, and it had rides in different rooms. There were a lot of other people there too but they didn’t seem to exactly know that they were trapped there. And there was a group within the building that printed flyers trying to explain to people that they had to team up and get out of there, but most people just blew it off and didn’t read them (and I found it odd that the people running the place allowed these guys to do the flyers in the first place, and they definitely knew about it and just did nothing). 

There was also a like...manager or something, but he was sort of trapped there too or at least he’d taken the job and now wanted to leave but couldn’t. He was the only one who could go to this top floor office, and there was a monster there that was kept in a little room, locked up, and he took me up there and opened the outer door (there was a glass partition past that) and told me that every day he considered letting it out and just letting it kill everyone including him.

Then some of the people who made the flyers gave me some and asked me to try really hard to get people to read them, like hand out extras, etc, which I did, but most people still didn’t care, they just threw them away, and then finally I got out and the flyer guys blew up the building (well technically it had some sort of explosives underneath it and they blew that and the building exploded off into the atmosphere), a lot of people were still in it but they wouldn’t leave when we told them to and the cult running it had to be destroyed so...oh well.

Had a dream I was hanging out with Brendon Urie and he was being very affectionate but we were just friends, and in the dream I tweeted this:

You ever hang out with someone who’s very good at being platonically affectionate and you emphatically are not

And I have never in my life had a dream that made more sense even after i woke up

[dreamer-aryn]

It was late 1800’s – no cars, just horses, and no technology. I was in a small-ish town, out west somewhere (it was at the foot of mountains but somewhat dry and dusty) but a lot of the people were gone for some reason, up into the mountains for some…event, maybe? But they never came back. Some infection began affecting people outside the town, and then people IN the town. I remember looking up into the mountains and seeing hoards of people coming down the mountain path, looking…not right. Me and about 15-20 other people left and went to a smaller, more fortified place a few miles away, taking uninfected people with us, but the ‘leader’ was an idiot – people would come from outside and he’d just let them in and speak with them with nothing between them, and I was sure this would eventually lead to him and then the rest of us getting infected. I tried to talk to him about it, but he wouldn’t listen, wouldn’t shut the gates, nothing. What was the point of leaving the town if we weren’t going to protect ourselves here? I decided to do something about him, but before I could enact my plan…

I woke up.

[dreamer-aryn]

I was driving down a forest road, following some friends, and we were all going to a party at a house down this road. But my car started stalling - I flashed my lights at them, but they didn’t notice, and they kept driving (no cell phone, because why would I have that?). Shit. 

So I pull over, it’s dark, and on the radio comes this news report of a killer who’s escaped prison, and may be roaming the area. I got really scared, but I was pretty close to the house where the party was, so surely someone else would come down the road soon?

I tried to lock my doors, but for some reason the back doors wouldn’t lock properly. And two seconds later, someone climbs in the back seat. Fuck me.

Somehow he got me into the back seat with him, and I was trying to fight him off, but he just held me where I was with this...permanent, creepy ass grin on his face the entire time. 

Then I saw a pencil in the floorboards. I grabbed it...

And stabbed him in the neck. I clearly remember the feeling of it breaking his skin and plunging into his neck. He died within seconds.

So I get out of the car, his blood all over me, and start walking towards the party. I mean, no worry about the killer coming after me...he was dead. 

But just as I Get to the house, where there are like 40-50 people milling around outside, I realize. I don’t know any of these people except my 2-3 friends who were in the other car, and I don’t see them. This party is full of strangers, who would have heard the news on the radio, just like I did. That there was a killer on the loose in the area.

And here I am, a stranger covered in blood.
