Flerp's Dreams

A place for me to record my bizarre dreams

[flerpsdreams]

Witch Hill

I dreamed that some friends and I were on a hill named Witch Hill. It was a place where witches were given their species equivalent of a respectful burial: their bodies were laid out on the grass and left to rot. Eventually, their rotting flesh would come to life, detach from their skeleton, and begin tunneling through the dirt. The skeleton would be left behind at the surface, covered in a thin stringy substance called "bone web". The witches were humanoid (and all had two eyes and a mouth) but each one had a completely unique bone structure.

People would sometimes move the skeletons and explore the tunnels underneath, because moving the body after the flesh departed wasn't considered disrespectful.

The weary soldier

I dreamed that a children's show known for being lighthearted and goofy had an episode that was a dramatic tone shift. The main character of the episode was a robot, born into a country at war. Taught from birth that their existence was entirely to serve the humans of their country, they were pressured to join the military, and so they became a soldier. At some point they became friends with a younger robot who was a toymaker. The government also pressured the toymaker to enlist, but they refused. Eventually the government killed the toymaker and melted them down to make bullets. The soldier always kept one that they never fired.

Sand Huts

When I was little, I dreamed that I was on a beach, and there were a bunch of huts made entirely out of sand. They didn't have doors, so you just had to walk through the sand. Also, Lilo and stitch were in one of them.

The orange

When I was little, I dreamed that my mom and I were being chased through an enormous hardware store by a ten foot tall homicidal orange. Despite not having arms, it could open doors, and so we had to lock them to keep ourselves safe. In a strange bit of dream-logic that also occurs in other dreams I've had, if a door has multiple locks (all of the ones we hid behind had like six), the door can still be opened if at least one lock is unlocked.

The friendly reaper

When I was very little, I dreamed that after becoming separated from my family, I met the grim reaper. He was the stereotypical skeleton in a cloak, but he didn't have a scythe, and I distinctly remember his cloak being dark gray instead of black. As well, he gave off an aura of extreme kindness and trustworthiness. He gave me a small wooden box full of bones, and told me to pick one. As I did, a complete stranger walked in the door. He told me to pick another bone. I did, and the stranger left, and another entered. We repeated this process until my parents entered the door. I turned to thank the reaper, but he was gone.

Emily's gear

I dreamed that I was pushing a large stone gear up an incredibly long underground staircase. I dropped it, and heard someone yell "Emily!", which began echoing, except the echo broke: it was just the word "Emily" repeating over and over. I woke up, only to realize that I could still hear the "echo", and couldn't move. This was my first experience with sleep paralysis. (Strangely enough I only experience sleep paralysis when I get very little sleep.)

The hungry dream

I once dreamed that I was wondering the world, which was completely devoid of people. As I was walking up, I gained partial lucidity, and dreamed that my dream was alive, and didn't want me to wake up. It haphazardly threw things from my real life at me in a feeble attempt to convince me that I was already awake.

The house that was too tall

I dreamed that I was at a friend's house, in their bedroom, and noticed a hatch on the ceiling, which was strange because their room was on the top floor. I opened it, and crawled up into another room, devoid of furniture. As soon as I entered this impossible room, I started hearing a baby crying. As well, there was another hatch on the ceiling. As I ascended through the rooms, the crying got louder, and the rooms became less well maintained: peeling wallpaper, moldy ceilings, stained carpets. In what was about the fifth room, there was an old mattress with two skeletons laying on it. Finally, I opened the hatch into the tenth room. It sounded like the crying was just above me. However, as soon as I entered the tenth room, the crying stopped. Unlike the decrepit room below, this one was in perfect condition. There was a king-sized bed, perfectly made with black sheets, and multiple black upholstered chairs. There was no hatch on the ceiling, but there was a door. I opened it, and stepped into my friends bedroom. I turned around to look behind me, and was greeted with their open closet door.

The party

When I was little I dreamed that we were throwing a party, and there were a lot of people at our house. My dad and I were chasing down a pair of mischievous vacuum cleaners with orange handles that were running around making horrendously loud siren noises, but we stopped when they turned into orange socks. Then I noticed a man and woman wearing lab coats standing on either side of a pig next to a white door with an oddly shaped doorknob. They picked up the pig, and I followed them through the door into a large white room with nothing but a toilet in one corner. The two people then flushed the pig down the toilet head first, prompting some sort of defense mechanism in the form of a vacuum cleaner head to emerge from the toilet. I ran, knowing that it would kill me if it had the chance, and ended up outside next to the air conditioning unit. For some reason, it could talk, and had a British accent, and it had stolen my toy car, insisting it was theirs. It caused a strange rippling sensation when it talked, and because it didn't have hands, I just took my car back. Then I sat down on a swing and woke up.

Infuriating valve

I dreamed that I was on the side of a road, in a drainage ditch or something, and there was a sort of gate valve, and I was trying to open it, but things kept stopping me. First the valvewheel was jammed, then it was suddenly in the middle of the ditch so I couldn't open it without getting wet, and then it was covered in gray slime.
