The Tavern

whats the best dream you've had? post it in this thread

nice try, you'll have to wait for the official novelization like everyone else

God came into my dream and I was one with God and I knew/was told that my son, who had been born with severe brain damage (eschemic injury due to malpractise), was going to be just fine. My son was discharged from neonatal that weekend after only 10 days (they had expected him to be there for 6 months minimum) and went on to make what the specialists describe as a "miraculous" recovery.

We were told he would never walk or talk or know our names. He has very minor cerebral palsy that affects his right hand, which he can still use for all but the fine motor tasks. Otherwise he is quick and bright and you would never even know what happened if you saw him.

I am so, so, so glad that dream came true.

I dont know why but I always dream of me dying in a very painful way

As a child I had a nightmare where I was a werewolf. Then I woke up, went to the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror. I still had fangs and hairy earlobes. I was spooked. Then I woke up for real.

Or did you?

I guess there's no way to tell...

But if I'm still dreaming then you're all products of my dreams. Which would explain some things about the Tavern for sure.

I used to dream I was a deer.
then when the deer went to sleep, I woke up.
was I a man dreaming of being a deer?
or a deer dreaming of being a man?
this is totally original and I did not copy from anyone.

Ive been having a pretty strange type of dream these days, as I wake up. They are very powerful and handy, and I have a technique for reproducing them. I can't tell you anything else or you'll steal my idea

just a warning, this doesnt work on mummies. i wasted so much money

I lucid dream all the time and you dont have anywhere near the kind of control they describe there, but then again im sure everybody here knows the dick-tube thing is a scam.

That depends, I've had lucid dreams where I was able to conjure anything I wanted into existence. But yeah, the cock sock is pretty pointless when there are so many easier, less humiliating ways to have frequent lucid dreams.

I also had a lucid dream where I had no control of the dream at all and hid in a furnace closet for half an hour until I woke up, but still.

Really? I find it hard to control. Definitely aware and can push the dream in a different direction, can at least fly if I want to, but still the dream is happening around me like I am being taken downstream by a river. If I start to really focus on something (which itself is hard to do), I invariably wake up.

I occasionally have lucid dreams. I usually realize it's a dream when I start flying and say to myself "Hey, I'm flying! This must be a dream, Cool!" Then I can pretty much take control. But it only works if I start out with a non-lucid dream where I start flying. Haven't had one of those in a while.

last night, i dreamt you guys made me a blue name, and i remember i got really salty about this decision and spent the rest of the dream posting passive aggressive threads addressed to archaeo.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their names but by the content of their character dump.

heheh... you said 'dump'.

Truly, these are the days of miracle and wonder.

When I was in my twenties, I practiced lucid dreaming a lot, and you can do pretty much anything you want, with practice. I've done repeatedly, from the sublime: levitating/flying, breathing/running underwater, walking through walls, jumping hundreds of feet into the air and coming back down only to bound up again, running super-fast, etc., to the prosaic: having sex with with anyone. I've built cities from my imagination, conjured people I knew, living or dead, and many more things than I could list. I haven't practiced it in a long time, many years, but when you are actively doing so it is like living two lives at once.

Dreams have their own physics, and learning them is fun. You first have to realize you are dreaming, which begins simply as a conscious effort to be alert for signs you are dreaming before going to sleep, and the main cues are almost invariably the difference in physics. From there, the way I learned to do it was to look at my hand once I realized I was dreaming, and try to hold the image of it steady. After mastering that, you look at your surroundings and hold them in place, as well. Once you can establish continuity, the limits are only bound by your imagination.

Good luck.

This is more a pretty weird dream rather than a super good one. The continence of the dream are NSFW so I put then in spoiler tags.

Spoiler: show

Please don't judge me for this.

I'm pretty sure basically everyone would try a magical temporary sex change to see what it's like, and most of your 'switched' time would be masturbating/casual sex. Don't worry, you're normal.

There's even songs about it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_Up_That_Hill. I personally go for the placebo version, but hey, whatever you're into, man.

I seem to recall a thread that ended with duvessa pondering whether having sex with a version of you sent back in time with a sex change counted as incest.

I hope you meant "contents" and not "continence".

Although I guess it's good to know your dream didn't shit all over itself.

You recall incorrectly.

I dreamt that I thought it was a good idea to cut off my thumbs with a pair of scissors. It turned out to be a bad idea because after cutting off a thumb on one hand, I could not grasp the scissors with that hand firmly enough to cut off the other thumb. Do you sometimes dream about being shortsighted like that?

Yes, Pollen_Golem, that dream logic on the scissors for sure. :lol:

I had a dream a long time ago - pretty standard stuff, really - a bunch of people needed help with a problem, there was some poorly defined but threatening enemy, etc... But when the mooks showed up and started wrecking the place up, I awoke. Strange thing was, when I got back to sleep, time had passed in the dream as if I had simply "vanished" while I had been awake, and this became a sort of super power to just phase out and come back, but I had to wake up each time. Anyway, as I said this was years ago and eventually I had to wake up and go to school or somesuch. I don't think I finished saving the... Rebels? Anyway I've never really had a lucid dream (that I know of?) but this was bordering on that, I think, and I still (vaguely) remember it fondly.

I was at a pool party

and would it be masturbation?

yeah I had a dream pretty much exactly like this but I was cutting off my beard and shaving it. I spent some dream time contemplating my shaven face, half-pissed I lost my beard in a moment of weakness but pleased at how I looked. I pondered, for a while, Epictetus's claims about beard, them being an crucial accouterments of the philosopher who, not conforming to the fashions of his time, but only to nature or to reason, has no reason to shave. It was a poignant moment, and stress began to mount. And then a bat flew around me and I tried to swat it away. It flew right up to me and under my sweater and roosted in my armpit! I gasped, awoke with a start! I vocalized, conscious of my surroundings but not yet awake enough to be in control, that I was groaning out loud, "hooooooooooooooo".

Fucking bats. I don't have any sort of bat phobia but the wriggling furry weirdo all up in your armpit is a shocking sensation

i had a dream last night that i was back at school and people were protesting against hillary clinton. two people came into my room in the middle of the night and pooped on my floor as part of the protest. then they asked me for directions to some place, and i said "no, fuck you! you just fucking pooped on my floor! fuck off!" and they left and i cleaned up the poop. it was awful

i had a dream last night that i was looking over an old final i had taken, and realized that the professor had decided to clown me by writing an even better essay in the comments for the final.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die.

This morning I dreamt that danny devito set me up with a fight club fight with this nine foot tall dude who was all torso, like a caterpillar. He had an extra pair of hands on his head. "I'll fight you. I'm lovecrafty as shit!", he said as his head detached and crawled over my chest in a gesture of greeting.

this was tangled up with an almost as terrifying dream where I borrowed my friend's phone, downloaded a bunch of porn on it and then gave it back to him

I've had a dream long ago where some alien-like figures (tall, thin and roundy) stared at me. Or done something to me. I don't know. All I knew is that after I regained my senses, my torso springed up from the bed and I was in mild shock. I still don't know whenether it was an ufo fixation trip that went bad, or a legitimate abduction.

Other time, I was slowly falling into sleep (you know that feeling when music starts playing in your head and it sounds real, or when somebody talks complete nonsense in your head but it feels so real and independent you have a feeling somebody IS there talking to you?) and I swear, my mother was behind me (despite that I was laying face down) saying "Go to sleep, go to sleep...". I entered that almost-sleeping phase when the world starts spinning. I experienced that feeling before and almost always broke it, went fully awake, because it was so weird. This time, it was freaky.

Other time I had a dream I was raped during a swinger party. It felt like waterboarding. After waking up my pelvic muscles hurt like a BITCH.

BTW. I saw a star moving around the sky sometime October 2008. It moved with enormous speed (compared to a jet). It made a fluid ~180 degree turn mid-flight without losing any speed. Then it just kept going in a straight line up to the horizon.

Sleep paralysis.

You recall incorrectly.

Looks like I was confusing two different threads. Unsurprisingly duvessa was indeed involved in both.

i had another otherkin dream where i sexually identified as king dededekin

a week ago i had a dream that i was a lesbian and i took some kind of drug at a party and passed out, and i woke up in an abandoned house, in an empty bathtub, naked, with another woman who looked exactly like me

this is also my dream, but in the sense of "lofty goal i aim for every day"

i should mention that the bathtub wasn't even connected to any pipes or anything. it was just an empty bathtub sitting around in an abandoned room. it was kind of dirty too. also i was red-haired in the dream for some reason
