Dreams

Hello again everyone. I’ve been wanting to post something here but have been a bit short of ideas. I have a couple game reviews coming up as soon as I bother to finish the games i’m playing, but beyond that I don’t have much. So while thinking about what I could post about I remembered something, i’m very, uh, I don’t know how to describe it. I have a very strong imagination. I can create clear images on my eyelids (even animations) and recreate people’s voices in my head and control what they say.

Also, I have a weird sleep pattern. I have to get up at 7:30 AM in the morning to get ready for school. I have 4 alarms, one at 6:00 AM, one at 6:30 AM, one at 7:00 AM and one at 7:30 AM. The constant going in and out of sleep helps make it feel like I got an extra hour or so of sleep, and makes me interupt my dreams. You dream every night, but you really only remember your dreams if you can pay attention to them and interupt them. Constantly interupting my dreams makes it so I remember a lot of them, and so I have 3-4 dreams a night. Although I really only can remember one very well.

So since I dream so much and remember my dreams so well I thought what the hell, i’ll post some of my dreams on here. My dreams are pretty interesting, sometimes they’re cool or funny but most of the time they’re pretty disturbing (honestly I think the disturbing ones are more interesting). So before I go on and post a dream I had a couple nights ago that I liked let me explain some stuff about how dreams are (for me atleast).

Every(almost) dream I have have the following traits.

  • No surprises. (it’s your dream, on a subconsious level you’re expecting what’s going to happen next)
  • What you think, fear, or want to happen generally will happen.
  • On a subconsious level, you know it’s a dream.
  • Body not existing until needed. (IE, i’m just a floating ball of consiousness until I need to run or move something)
  • Move like you’re in water.
  • You don’t notice things that would be impossible in the real world. (IE : Things appearing, you teleporting)
  • Flash lights or light switches make no change in the actual lighting.
  • “Fuzzy” foglike vision (I think this comes from not being able to remember dreams 100%)
  • No ambient light or sound and no temperature.
  • Color (some people don’t have this, I do)

Alright, now that you know all the basic traits my dreams share I can get more into this. Before I tell you all a dream I had a couple nights ago let me first tell you that it is kind of disturbing and that I don’t think it means anything. I don’t believe dreams are anything more than our mind spitting out the junk we accumulate in our minds throughout the day. I just think some of the stuff we dream up can be very interesting, regardless of any meaning it has. With that said, here we go!

I was in a house i’d never seen before with my grandmother. I was in a kind of living room sitting on a couch facing a white wall and with lights above me. The house was dimly lit. I knew my cousin was upstairs in her room. Suddenly there was a flash of light outside (like lightening) and then an earthquake shook the house. After the quake my grandmother and I headed towards the stairwell that appeared in the middle of the wall. The stairwell went up and the walls of it were green with lots of purple question marks (kind of like the riddler). The stairs went up very far until we got to a small hall that deadended a couple feet forward and had one room with no door on the right.

We went into the room, it was a large room (I can’t give an estimate on size) with the same color scheme as the stairwell and had one closet near the lower left corner (from the door). There was also a fluffy king sized bed with a purple comforter and green sheets in the middle of the floor. I teleported about 6 feet away from the lower right corner of the bed and watched as my grandmother went next to the bed and bent over to look at something near the upper left hand corner of it. As she did that she screamed bloody murder and a figure rose from that side of the bed (like he was coming slowly out of the ground) and had advanced towards her.

The figure was about 6 feet tall and was covered completely in a dark bed sheet like thing. He was hunched over a ton, to the point where it looked like you could eat dinner on his back. He had a butcher’s knife raised in the air over my grandmother and had a guy fawkes mask on over where you’d expect his head to be. I then through the flashlight I noticed I was carrying at his face and woke up.

The dream in itself isn’t very disturbing honestly, but the reason this dream stood out so much was that it didn’t feel like it was mine. I was surprised (something that had never happened in a dream before) when I saw the guy fawkes mask. I honestly was expecting a mask like from the poughkeepsie tapes trailer, as guy fawkes masks are honestly not very scary.

Well that’s all I got to say about dreams for now, i’ll probably post some more of my dreams and talk about why i’m so interested in them later.
