I had another dream where I was an animal detective, only this time I was a dog. A smallish (say 40 lbs) white dog wearing a hat, but I was actually a dog that walked on 4 legs, not an anthropomorphic one.

MemberI had a prophetic dream last night. Sort of.
I dreamt that I was at work, unloading the truck and someone was playing Queen, specifically Queen's Greatest Hits (Vol 1) This was unusual because my co-workers have terrible taste in music and I have never heard them play Queen.
Yet today, that very scenario happened in reality. The songs were different, but they were on the same album.
When I was younger, I read Dunne's An Experiment With Time and while it could just be confirmation bias, this sort of thing seems to happen enough to think he might be right.

MemberWas on jeopardy again and time cheated despite only winning a few thousand. Things stopped for a bit before final jeopardy and some fight broke out. While Alex was scolding everyone I slipped out like a ninja. Then once outside I was able to fly high, super man blast off style. Unfortunately it was gonna take me about 7 hours to get home and either have to pass some desert area or sea which I was too exhausted to fly for. Transitioned to an old couple house. There was unknown friends there and the couple was gonna microwave some nachos for us. My alarm went off before nachos are done

MemberIf I ever have a dream about Bea Arthur, it would be a nightmare.
Archie Bunker should've ran the moment he met his wife's cousin. She was such a creep playing her Maude character on there. And then CBS in their infinite wisdom after cancelling every rural show in their lineup (The infamous "Rural Purge") and trying to become hip and push a new leftist agenda in American society, then spun her off with her own show.
I'm not a fan...

MemberI'm sick so I had especially vivid dreams last night.
The first was kinda weird. I was a prince (or king) and two women wanted to marry me. One was a demon sorceress with fuchsia hair and the other was a tavern maid with white hair (but youngish). I wanted to go with the latter, but I was afraid the former would put a spell on me, so I was differing...
Then later, I was accused and put on trial for being a werewolf in France. But i was acquitted and I think my lawyer was

I was differing...
Was that supposed to be a different word?
I had a particularly weird dream back when Wimbledon was going on, but I forgot to write about it. In the dream, the tennis player Diego Schwartzman (don't even know what this guy looks like, just seen his name on tournament brackets, so it's really strange that a character in a dream would have this identity) was investigating some strange goings-on. At the end of it all, he was cradling someone who had fallen to the ground, only to have that person's back split open . . . and some sort of creature spill out, covered in goo. The closest thing I can think of as far as something that might have inspired that element is that in a volume of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody that I read long before the dream, a revived demon lord emerges in a similar way, though from someone standing up at the time (the demon lord gets soundly defeated, and the host is healed, so no worries).

MemberYes, it was supposed to be dithering.
Thanks to tethering my phone to my Xbone, I've been able to actually stream video and continued watching Thunderbolt Fantasy (I had tried to watch it at work last year, but our store's wifi is terrible). And presumably because of it, last night I had a dream involving puppets in a fantasy setting. It more D&D than wuxia, though, there were puppet versions of various D&D monsters.

Of course, in Thunderbolt Fantasy and other budaihsi shows, the monsters are usually depicted via CGI rather than puppetry. Then again, the monster in season 2 (a dragon, if I remember right) was done by a puppet.
I had a dream a few nights ago where I was in a cafeteria, in line getting food. At one station of the queue, there was a veggie burger, and I mean a full burger (like, and probably inspired by commercials for, Burger King's new Impossible Burger) rather than just patties. It looked pretty good, so I got ready to pick one up--but the bully type behind me got ticked off at my holding up the line. To flex his bully muscles, he trapped me against the counter, goading, "You want that burger? Go ahead, pick it up!" In that cramped position, of course, that was impossible, so I turned my knife and fork around and stabbed him lightly in the shoulder a few times instead. Not enough to make the guy bleed, but unfortunately, also not enough to make him break off. So, I switched tactics and hit him hard in the face with my elbow. He fell back . . . and as he careened toward the floor, his skin color curiously became tinged sort of green. And then when he hit the floor . . . green gunk erupted from his mouth and splattered all over his face. Upon seeing that gruesome development, I ditched the burger and got the hell out of Dodge.

MemberI had a dream that I somehow got a pair of double jump boots. You know, like the sort you find in platformers or metroidvanias that let you jump up into the air, then jump again in the air, going higher.
That was a lot of fun in the dream. Only then somehow I miscalculated and ended up in a river. And while swimming to shore, I had to stop to make way for a swimming bear (or bull)

MemberI was at high school attending the class of a teacher I don't think I've ever seen in real life. She then gave us homework, or a test, so convoluted I could barely understand at the time and couldn't even begin to remember, even this morning.
Then I somehow found myself at a "different version" of a restaurant near my house with a very old friend of mine, making small talk.
Then suddenly I was walking home with another very old friend of mine, also making small talk. He asks me "hey, can you give me a bottle of water like I asked earlier?" I took my bottle out of my rucksack and told him "everyone's been asking me for one, glad I remembered I had to give it to you."
We kept walking and crossed paths with that girl who had a crush on me in Elementary and hated me for it and then met again a few more times over time (including at the driving school a year and a half ago). We ignored each other, though purely by happenstance.
A few steps later, when she was a few feet behind me, I bent myself 90° to the side and turned around in the most uncomfortable, odd way possible and said "Hi!" to her, with a large smile. She turned her head around, saw me and did the same, minus the weird pose. "Hi!"
The end.I find it very poetic, strange and masochistically amusing that this is the only dream I've remembered in weeks, maybe months. A dream that brought to mind every single dumb decision I've ever done in my love life, happened on the night of the 14th of February. Well, technically of the 15th, but whatever.

MemberRecent dream:
Deep in the mountain there was a misty village with tainted water guarded by a priestess. Cause was some weird bronze plate. Some evil lord was trying to get it and mortally wounded her. In a fit of rage and sorrow I caused a climatic shift with the elements and things went a bit crazy. I gave her part of my life force to be with her. The eventual defeat of the lord and possibly bronze plate destruction brought light back into the valley and cleared up the mists. We celebrated with the children at the entrance by the fountains and only they seem to remain at this point. There was another young girl which also remain because she might’ve been conditioned to be the next priestess in line.

MemberThat sounds like a D&D scenario.
The other night I had a dream where I was Karl Kolchak, aka the Night Stalker. It was about aliens. And then for some reason, Barnaby Jones was helping me. And when I woke up, I had the Barnaby Jones theme stuck in my head.
Of all the things you can dream about, Darren McGavin and Buddy Epsen are really not the top of my list.

TV influenced a dream of mine recently, too. Footage from the end of the Daytona Road Course of a severely damaged car still driving under its own power to pit lane (both rear tires were blown, even, and the car was actually driving at a slant) must have been behind my dream that night; all of my neighbor's cars were totaled, and yet they were somehow sitting neatly in his driveway, waiting for a truck to take them somewhere else.
