dreamt one of our former system members, Eulogy, was separate from us, and we were invited to a wedding she was having. i think it was just straight up in a park somewhere, no chairs or buildings or anything, just people. during the ceremony something scared her off and she ran into the woods. we went after her, trying to get her to come back. whenever we caught up she started saying something about how she was the King of Larvae, which meant she had dominion over insect larvae and had some sort of destiny that meant she couldnāt come back. she grew like a stinger and some little spindly bug legs but in a way that kind of looked like a halloween costume.

I have a fascinating tendency to have dreams that sound like nightmares, but give me little or no distress in the moment. Iāll tag this one just in case its a bit much, better safe than sorry
Iāve forgotten a good chunk of the one I had this morning, but I remember it involved some sort of Rapture-esque underwater-city-about-to-collapse I was escaping from, with occasional flashbacks to a moment when I was talking to a woman through a mirror portal (Or maybe like, two rooms connected via a false mirror setup, with the glass pane removed?). I mostly remember being in one particuler room in between these flashbacks, trying to decide if I should leave, or if I should go deeper into the city to find something.
As the flashbacks continued, it became increasingly obvious that the woman I was speaking to had some sort of malicious intent towards me, and eventually she revealed that she had created a part human, part centipede baby (Which she was holding, but I could only see the baby in silhouette, it was behind a screen or partition of some kind) as part of an experiment, and that she, personally, was also part centipede, and had eaten people. Eventually, one of the flashbacks was to this woman revealing her full centipede form, killing a person by splitting them into three pieces, and eating all three parts with a different mouth (because she had three, for some reason). I think, in the end, I made the decision to go deeper into the city, but it might have been that I was making a decision every time I found myself in that moment, and sometimes I escaped and sometimes I went deeper in

(cw: tooth extraction)
Took a brief nap today and dreamed that I was chewing some gum (which I almost never do IRL) and it got stuck to my teeth. When I went to pull it out, it came with one of my front-row, bottom tooth, almost effortlessly but not all the way out, still dangling a bit. I was distressed, and talking to my mom and sister about it (I was much younger in this dream, still early adulthood) and my mom just shrugged and finished pulling it out, saying that I was just going to have to see a dentist next time Iām free, while I was dismayed how this was going to ruin my looks. The oddest part is that just a week ago or so I dreamt I had chipped my front-row top tooth, and was also distressed about how it was going to make me look. No idea whats with this dream fascination of beauty ruined by teeth accidents.

Had a wild one tonight and typed this out on my phone at 4am so its even more unhinged
cw for child violence and vomiting
I was a detective of some kind looking for a clue. Found a child sleeping in a dog house ans took her with me. I was some sort of high rank navy officer.
Her father finds us while I was away and I enter the room just as he was slapping her and pulling his gun
He is extremely scared of me, recognizing the uniform. I pretend to be impressed by his shitty gun, before pulling my huge, heavy revolver, saying it was my gift for becoming a colonel, pulling rank to make him more scared
Now that I flexed and scared him more, I take him outside, spill the beans about his daughter and grill him. He canāt cope with the pressure of fatherhood and being poor, and had been taking drugs. I tell him its not easy for anyone but he canāt do that, and I say Iāll be with her for a while.
Before leaving the restaurant we were in, I play roulette with Vincent DāOnofrio and help him win, knowing he wonāt go after my family now, but I pretend not knowing who he was as Iām leaving.
Me and the girl miss the car we asked for and she starts puking all over the street, like a water hose. I see a nurse buddy nearby and ask him to check on her. He says its stress because she was happy being taken away by me but now knows she will be returned. I donāt know what to do because I canāt be a full time father.

Took a nap and had a bizarre dream involving mutilation, getting caught by supernatural creatures and making a new game file on a FROM playthrough.
It started when I was going to a shopping center. When I arrived there, people were just coming out of a movie session. They looked defeated, and were complaining about what an awful movie it was. A lot of them were dirty too, like mud and dirt, and I guessed that they were either in some sort of altercation or the movie somehow involved them getting into that mess. Some people were saying, almost in a dead tone, about how āthey canāt believe all of that was just to get to the end and watch her die for nothingā.
I meet with two women, one of them a little older and the other a little younger than me. The older one asks if I have $2 for her fare, and I say that unfortunately I allmost never take money with me. I take off my wallet and show it to her, and the only things inside are my credit, debit and bus cards. Accompanying her to an ATM, I watch as she draws some money, before I meet with the younger one and we head upstairs.
That floor was dedicated to some sort of open air temple or ritual. People were sitting on pews, and someone at the front had a book. She sat right at the front row. No one was speaking, some people were crying. I couldnāt quite make out what the book the person was holding was supposed to be, and there was also another one at the back. Then I felt an itching in my limbs, and saw two apparitions at the back. I knew they had come to make me pay.
Flashback, change of scene. I learn/remember my sins. I had dismembered people and taken their limbs and replaced mine - and someone that I knew - with theirs. They mention me ruining a soccer playerās career by taking his leg, and how I replaced someoneās brain with a dogās to make them a better runner. The apparitions armsā turn into scythes, and they come for me.
Both the younger and the older women were meant to trick and lure me. Iām running outside, and its dark. They were both waiting, smiling, and they run alongside me. Thereās a lot of chanting, and all the buses are going the same way, not stopping anywhere, like theyāre the last ones to go before something happen. As I keep running, I suddenly realize Iām going the wrong way, and turn back, but as I start running again all the streetlights start going out, and the chanting gets louder and louder.
I get up, and thereās people with pots for their heads walking on the middle of the street, celebrating. I join them, and am welcomed. Change of scene. Iām at a location with people who have pots for their heads, while they explain my choices. There are people who have pots facing down. Those people will learn the truth of what comes after life, but they will never speak again, and will be cast upon hell. The people who have pots facing up will wander up top, like the others before. I choose one of the pots facing up, which looks like a jar. Thereās a drawing on it, like a medieval knight, and they explain to me thatās the Thief pot, and who Iāll become.
Change of scene, Iām sitting with a gameplay crew and weāre talking about the new FROM game. Choosing a pot is how you pick a class, and apparently Thief has been the worst. Something about being unable to gank people or backstab. I start playing regardless, and look at the soapstone tutorial signs. Thereās 4 of them that are special, and theyāre for difficulty. Thereās Very Easy, Casual, Normal and Hard. One of the people say casual was their choice, and they recommend it, while I say Iām happy with Normal because the reason why I never finish FROM games wasnāt the difficulty but the environments. Thereās a lot of disagreements over that while Iām trying to explain that I meant locations, like poison swamps, but the argument keeps going until I wake up.

Dreamed I was in some college-style dormitory with a built-in restaurant like a hotel, that also had a TV tuned to some nonexistent retro anime/cartoon channel showing Super Secret Secret Squirrel. There was also baseball field outside where me and folks who had the vibe of people I knew in gradeschool/highschool played, with my team rooting for me and the other hating me (kind of a contrast to me doing school baseball as a kid where everyone sorta hated me anyway).
The next part of this dream involved a very similar setting, this time I recall trying to find some documents to DM someone on Discord who I also had trouble finding in my message history. I also wanted to write down details of the previous part of the dream for posterity, and went into some LGI room dedicated to people writing things down in their Dream Diaries. So I tried that, along with writing it down on a laptop with a macOS-like GUI. On that laptop, I first tried a word processor that doesnāt actually exist, then thought that if I used LibreOffice Writer instead that the file would transfer over to the real world, because that program actually exists. Needless to say that didnāt work out in the end. After this, I recall perusing some built-in shopping center, and also re-entering the building through a backdoor to the bathroom.

had a dream about a movie series/monster called The Hole. it was constrained to a specific small town. whenever someone was standing still and in a dark area, The Hole would be able to swallow them into itself, a dark labyrinth of concrete, reminiscent of a sewer. from there, itās avatars, these fleshy distorted humanoids, would attack and kill its victim. its only weakness was light, though i think the avatars could be killed more easily if someone can find and destroy their āshadowā in the normal world. this wouldnāt kill The Hole though, since it was the location itself. i think i remember The Holeās actual heart being like a concrete disk with a hole in the center (think abt when ppl make gags abt inventing the wheel and itās a wheel made of rock. like that) which i assume is why itās called that.

Last night I had some more distinct scenarios in my dreaming.
In one, me and some other folks were going shopping, and one of these folks wanted to buy a Dragonball Z DVD, which were supposedly ultra-rare in this dreamās canon. He couldnāt find one, so he got really mad and upset.
There was another one where I was in my highschoolās CS room, apparently on the last day of school. Two of my classmates included one of my cohost mutuals, as well as some guy from my IRL group back in highschool. I wanted to talk to the former, but she already left, so I was stuck with the latter.

now tell me why (nsfw implied) i had a dream that stewie from family guy got a cushy government work from home job and then immediately pulled a darksydephil
One dream I had last night involved me and my family finding out that one of our childhood dogs had made an indie kart racing game a few years prior. But then there were doubts that it was just some random person with a sona who looked like said dog, because it took us a bit to realize that dogs donāt make video games.
Another one involved this hot tub/bed sort of thing at the end of a driveway that me and some others were in, and while we slept, it rose up right above the trees.
Another one involved me astrally projecting through some kind of dorm building with an indoor waterpark.
Another one involved an IRL friend being over at my place, and we were playing the GameCube in my room. For some reason the GameCube had a home screen akin to the Switch. First we had the Curious George game from 2006 going, then a nonexistent port of Portal from 2011, whose ending involved walking through a fancy restaurant, and whose credits had the 2000s Cartoon Network logo next to the 90s ESRB M rating. During this, some nonexistent girl with green hair and glasses walked in to join us, and she also had the aro and ace colors on the back of her black hoodie, which I complimented and she thanked me for. She also had her one-eared dog over, who stole some of my GBC cartridges in their mouth, and bit down on both of my hands when I tried to take the carts back.

dreamt about our former job. i showed up one day and forgot to change my shorts and sandals out for the pants and shoes, so they were just gonna send me home, but i found this likeā¦ bunker room where one of the storage closets used to be.
it was covered wall to wall in bookshelves, mostly comics and graphic novels. most of them were of a porno manga, simply called: Hentai.
there were also these cassettes with likeā¦ necklaces in them, that you could make spin and theyād play audio. the one that was there was a radio play of The King In Yellow i think. i was excited because i think it was some sort of collectible our partner wanted.
then there was some sort of alien invasion and i had to hide in the bunker. our partnerās brother was also there and he had COVID apparently so we were doomed to get covid in the dream :<
then it transitioned to like. minecraft modpack gameplay. where the scenario eas that the bunker was a hyperbolic time chamber, and we had survived for what actually turned out to be a million years, and how we had to survive a world ruled by killer alien dinosaurs. the end!

I dreamt I was in Japan, and I missed my return flight home. And I checked multiple booking sites and went up to different airline desks, but for some reason there were just 0 tickets earlier than a month out. Until I went up to a Finnair desk, and the clerk leaned in close and told me āwellā¦ thereās this secret flightā which was the personal flight of this cartoon womanizer man, and I needed to go on a date to seduce him in order to convince him to let me on his flight to Finland where I could more easily get back home. So I did that, and I got on his flight, but once I was on his cartoon womanizer man flight with a bunch of women I just started flirting with and hitting it off with all the ladies in thereā¦ God I wish that were me.
