Woke up from one, hugged my mom (I'm visiting her), went to sleep again, had another one. The second one was just a nightmare in which I frantically looked for resources for a college assignment due in 5 minutes, and it wasn't finished, and I couldn't find ANYTHING. The first nightmare was longer and more important so I'll write about it. I was with my parents around a table in a big stadium field, where many people were watching the projection on a huge screen. Much like a drive-in cinema, but with a plethora of round tables that had round benches around them, spread across a stadium field. Except there was no ground. Just a bunch of grey clouds as far as the sight could reach. The benches were floating. At some point in the dream I could see the city beneath us, but by the point our surroundings became a stadium, it was just void and clouds. [i]If you fell, you fell to your death. [/i] And they were really narrow, backless, round benches. The only thing you could do to not fall was sit perfectly still without losing balance. I was terrified. I'm not a person who's afraid of heights, by any means, but this was terrifying. And nobody seemed to care. My dad was p1ssed at me for being scared of falling. He was making a cardboard wristwatch as a gift for me to wear, but I couldn't even take it from him or put it on because I was terrified of letting go of the sides of the bench. He yelled at me and got irrationally angry because I wouldn't pay attention to what he was saying, because I was too scared of falling. (I mean, not out of character for him at all, but that's a whole other convo). My mom was calmly disappointed in me for not valuing my dad's gift, the cardboard wristwatch. He called me ungrateful and my mother silently expressed agreement. But I was PANICKED. I couldn't thank him for a stupid cardboard watch, I was LOSING BALANCE and NEARLY FALLING TO MY DEATH. I started crying and telling them I was terrified of falling, and they told me I was exaggerating and I was just being unpleasant for the sake of being unpleasant. (Also not very ooc of them. Roots in a real situation). At one point a BTS concert started playing in the projection, and my dad got more angry than before because he hates them. My parents were like "aren't you happy? This is your favorite group!", "aren't you glad we're here and they're even playing music you love", but I couldn't even do anything out of fear. At this point my mom was coming way too close to me and she was pushing me off the bench with the side of her body by accident. I was nearly falling to the side, holding myself up with my legs around the legs of the bench, and my parents were getting mad that I wasn't enjoying the concert playing in the screen. They told me to dance and enjoy myself, but WHERE? There was no floor? Over the very narrow nearly falling over bench?? I was in panic, NEARLY FALLING, and all they cared to say was how I ungrateful I was for not enjoying the watch and the music, especially since my dad hated it so much and he was enduring it for me. I woke up with a knot in my stomach, got up, walked to the living room and hugged my mom. [b]tl;dr:[/b] I was sitting with my family in narrow floating benches, terrified of falling, crying in panic, and my parents not only didn't care, they actively called me ungrateful for not thanking them for being there and for their gifts that I was too scared to reach out for - because, again, I was too scared of losing balance and falling.

I don't remember where I started in the dream but I ended up getting chased by a bear and woke up to kicking my cat off the bed.

So… I’m not really sure if this fits here, but I would like to share a dream I once had. Tell me if it means anything?
I’ll spare you the majority of the dream for expediency, and because it’s at the end when things get weird. I don’t really know how to best describe what happened, but the dream kind of… glitched? Like I was walking around, everything perfectly normal, and then suddenly the lights go out, and there is this very loud noise that lasted for a few seconds (it was so loud that I could not move or anything). Static, microphone feedback, or pieces of metal constantly crashing together constantly comes to mind. And then it stops. I walk a few paces towards a door, and then the lights flicker, and the whole thing starts again, but does not stop until I wake up.
Is my mind just pulling some sensory pranks on me? (this only happened once, so I don’t think it is EHS)

And there was a Plot! One of the teams was waiting for the other (there were team names, but I don't remember, so I'll just call them Teams 1 and 2) to finish what they were doing. Team 2 all very dramatically stomp out, very frustrated, and this generic Sad Music is playing in the background. One of them punches a stucco wall without hurting herself, which is kind of impressive. We ask what's wrong, and they say they accidentally created a wormhole that's completely preventing use of an entire half of their kitchen. Any time they try to go in that half, they end up on the other side of the wormhole completely! It's very clear that this is not actually what happened, that this is a setup by the producers to justify a Fun Kitchen Challenge where only ingredients and appliances from one half of the kitchen are used to make a meal. So we all go in to help Team 2 with this Fun Challenge. The disallowed half of the kitchen includes fridge, toaster, and a few pantry shelves (this being a TV cooking show, the "pantry" is basically a miniature warehouse of food), but we have a LOT of other pantry food at our disposal. At one point we find Eggo Oreo Mini Waffles on a shelf. Are these an IRL thing? No idea. They probably would be disgusting without the aid of dreamworld logic/physics. We discuss the relative merits of toaster waffles, but since we can't use the toaster, we have to come up with something else. An actual dish was not created before the end of the dream, but I did eat a couple of the waffles - one regular, and one chocolate sandwich waffle. They were like Double Stuf, in that I could squeeze them together and a bunch of the filling would squish out for me to lick off before I actually ate the things. Oh also there were a bunch of file-cabinet-like drawers that I think were in the forbidden half, but I was checking them out of curiosity and one of them was labeled something like "3005 various cat food cans of many brands and languages that some of the cats turn their noses up at". Across the top of the cabinet were the names of some of the cats and I don't remember the first two but the last three were the three most famous hermitcats (Hermitcraft members' cats) - Maui, Pearl, and Jellie. Apparently this kitchen was some kind of cat daycare and those are some of the cats they took care of. [b]Notes:[/b] There should be a little dude for "competition" or something like that. I didn't feel like the combat guy fit, and the only other one who is slightly close is the destiny/mission guy.

Sweet Dreams [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gend/1596540][img]https://i.imgur.com/v0pG4F0.png[/img][/url] Trigger warnings: none Discuss this dream?: yes pls Have this dream interpreted?: yess I listened to Sweet Dreams by the Aviators WAY too much, so this happened I was flying into the sky, with wings made out some kind of rainbow material. Suddenly, they burst into flames. I fell back to the ground, but something caught me before I hit it. It was Herobrine, but he had wings the color of dried blood. Then I was somewhere dark and it was quiet. I turned and saw Herobrine. He was sitting on a tree stump(???) crying. I walked up to him and he stopped crying, then just stood up and picked me up and then I kissed him. Then I woke up. This was a few days ago, and I used it as a dream in my rp Yes I am in love with Herobrine a hecking ton

Fëanor in the 18th Century: a Film ?[/size][/b] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gend/2593123][img]https://i.imgur.com/gciH2Oc.png[/img][/url][/center] [b]Trigger Warnings:[/b] None [b]Dreaming Techniques:[/b] None This was just bizarre. I had been reading too much Tolkien before bed while listening to Assassin's Creed 3, and this is what happened: Fëanor gets plopped down in the middle of 18th century Boston and all sorts of craziness ensues. Suffice it to say, this was memorable and hilarious. [b]Notes:[/b]

[center][size=5][b]Triplets[/size][/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gend/2593123][img]https://i.imgur.com/kFfQCmO.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/9C9oHu8.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/096zTKj.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/FU8J6iH.gif[/img][/url][/center] [b]Content Warnings:[/b] None [b]Dreaming Techniques:[/b] None More than seven years ago in the waking world, I befriended a triplet, mainly because we shared classes. (He gave me good advice one time that I heeded over my mother's, and to this day, I don't think she's let it go; something about younguns being more susceptible to the opinions of their peers than of the experienced.) I was on friendly terms with his younger sister and barely acquainted with the youngest (to the point where every time I messaged him, he knew I was asking about schoolwork). I think I did lucid dream part of it; I don't know how much of this dream I am confabulating. All of it, maybe. I walked into this little shop where this street ends and turns into a perpendicular street, such that the intersection is an L instead of a X. In the waking world, a similar intersection near my home bears a park next to a school. I walk into this narrow storefront with its glass pull door and green awning, and inside is this living room-like space where people waited for music classes? Though later it turned into a Japanese lecture hall (dreams, am I right?). I see the eldest triplet, and I know I haven't seen him in nigh a decade. I say, "How come you keep showing up in my dreams?" Think jokingly rather than actual confusion. And I see his youngest triplet nearby and ask, "Hey, do you think I like him?" Look, I had to have been lucid dreaming because only the knowledge that none of this was real and thus had no real consequences explains my boldness. The youngest thinks about it and says, "No," in a way that's not unkind. He had always been kind of brusque (and I, sensitive; we didn't click, but we didn't dislike each other, either), so my waking self finds it...interesting, I guess, that my dream version of him was kind while being honest (vs being blunt). Anyway, I only recall the gist of his answer: no, I don't like the eldest triplet because I haven't seen him for years. And I don't remember who said it, but I was like, no, I didn't like him either 'cause we were just friends in school. But it was the way the youngest responded to the specific wording of my question that made this whole thing seem revelatory, for some reason? idk. [b]Notes:[/b] I had a lot of dreams last night, but I barely remember my dreams in general.

I only remember two buildings. One has these yellowish metal sculptures, angled haphazardly with respect to one another, of three kanji characters: Meiji (that's two characters) and woman. Another is this Greco-Roman style with these columns...kind of like the U.S. Supreme Court building, except this one had "U.S [something I can't recall]", probably some dream-version of a military branch. People were gathered in front of it, listening to someone talk? Or it was a wedding? Who knows. There was also some kind of assembly? Where someone told me this was "R[something I can't recall] Science Academy"? And later there was some kind if problem, which forced me and a bunch of students to evacuate to the library, where there was a chasm connected to a bad part of the subway? Dreams, man. What can I tell you. [b]Notes:[/b] I didn't know the characters were Meiji 'til I looked them up. (I barely know any Chinese, let alone kanji, thanks.) I'm just going to blame the appearance of "Meiji" on all the [i]Rurouni Kenshin[/i] fanfic I've been reading.
