Fuck just had quite an intense dream last night. Barely remember anything. About a world terrorist organisation, played like a high budget film or hbo series
Some major event happened and then another thing to make sure the world knows theyre in charge.
There was one certain 'scene' where they wanted information from a couple of people. They didnt know anything. At the very last second before they were blown up, one of them turns and fires a gun but to no avail.
Another scene where a couple of friends go their seperate ways. One says something along the lines of, "I know how it goes. I dont want to be a 'brother' and save mankind." Referring to the terrorist group.
Thats about it.
Then I had a scary thought. What if someone developed a way to use any device's electrical power as a weapon?
Im pretty sure this is subconciously about covid-19

Lately I have had a lot of football dreams. Player, manager, chairman. I have been it all.
I guess I miss football.

I mentioned this dream at KW, but it’s an even-weirder-than-usual one I had a few nights ago:That’s all I can remember.

I had a really cool one last night. I was on a pier looking down into the water when two GIGANTIC orca whales swim by. Each was hundreds of feet long. Then I tried to escape before the waves got me. I woke up before drowning.
I know. I know. The Ackbar guy dreams about whales. I'm a walking cliche!

Maybe, as you wrote, @shadowbiz , and as that Independent article argues, the vivid dreams many people have been having are metaphors for our anxieties in the coronavirus fight. Biz, your terrorist group could certainly be the virus, which is certainly a major events that lets humanity know it’s not entirely “in charge.” Similarly, the person who doesn’t “want to be a ‘brother’ and save mankind” could represent a fear of people who just want to open up, damn the consequences. (Not intending anything political with that comment… Indeed, I think a gradual, cautious reopening while protecting the most vulnerable is the wisest move right now.) Similarly, the one I mentioned above may have to do with trying to establish a semblance of normalcy in spite of the horrible events going on (the virus, the killings). Your orca dream mostly seems nice, @raimiackbar , but the drowning part could be about all the anxieties. And AQUA JAR!™ ’s bat connects with the possible bat origins of the virus. Dunno, maybe I’m reaching, but dreams fascinate me, and I’m always interested in trying to draw (possibly foolhardy) connections between them and life.

The whale dream likely has to do with the fact that the only, and I mean the ONLY, public place I go to aside from the grocery store and take out restaurants, during this crisis is a semi-secluded spot by the waterfront. I have also been dreaming a lot about family holidays, which I am dearly missing during this time. (Lots of birthdays went uncelebrated)

(Lots of birthdays went uncelebrated) Getting out of the house to a waterfront spot sounds great… If you meet up with any whales in real life, though, Captain Kirk would probably want to know! Totally agreed on family holidays. We’ve been driving to seaside parks and beaches almost every weekend to get away and celebrated a birthday at one of them, but it’s hard when everyone’s so afraid to get close.

Took a while, but I just had a wild one.
In the dream I was somehow both watching and in a TV show (I think it was a TV show, not a movie). The TV show was about an alternate, dystopian world ruled by a cult.
It started off normally, I was home and everything looked modern, but then I went to what looked like a college campus, called “The Providence.”
I was in a long hallway that looked like a dance floor, with chairs on it. Many people were there, apparently for a funeral. Now we were all wearing 17th century Puritan-looking attire except for the cult’s priests, who were wearing Catholic priest vestments. Among the crowd is, apparently, my girlfriend {don’t know who this is IRL}.
OK. Here’s where it gets crazier. I walk to the bathroom, but I go in the wrong door and go into a library. A friend of mine named Jamison is there. {No idea who this is IRL either.} I look on the wall, which is set aside for pictures of “popes”—but only one pope has been in office, for the last few centuries.
For some reason I ask Jamison if he has communion (wine and wafer). He pulls a box of cookies and a carafe of wine from under the table and tells me to have some, but right at that moment a door swings through it and who comes in but the centuries-old pope, who is played by Anthony Hopkins.
He’s furious and sinister and says that if I stole communion/Eucharist, he needs to make another sacrifice—the blood sacrifice of my girlfriend on the altar. He laughs and says Jamison and I may win “The Prize.” I look behind Pope Hopkins and see all these people rowing a massive ship. I get the impression that the whole campus will be moved to sea and “the prize” is joining the rowers.
Jamison and I run from the room on to the campus. Jamison says something like you can’t take on “The Providence.”
That’s all I can remember. I scare myself with these dreams sometimes.

As usual, I recall very little of my dreams as soon as I wake up and any memories I *do* have of them quickly start slipping away until I remember nothing of them.
One of the ones I just had involved me in the Scream movie universe (probably influenced by the fact that I just rewatched all four Scream movies on Blu-ray recently). I was talking to Sidney, who was looking for some more booze or something (as obviously there had to be the requisite party). I mentioned it was down in the cellar or something, I think. I then informed a friend that I just filmed my cameo in a Scream movie (though there were no cameras or anything around, so it was like we were in reality rather than filming a movie).
Now, whether I directed Sidney to the cellar because I was the killer or whether I was just an unsuspecting random character...I have no idea.

Well, this one was kinda violent to say the least. A bit fuzzy on the details
Anyway things transpired before I or the 'main character' landed in some old-school or remote prison. Cant be sure, all I know is the prison was small and in the middle of nowhere. It was made of logs.
It was dire for some reason and I had to escape the prison. There was a horse right next to the prison. I was attached to chains (hands only) and oddly enough, it was around the horse too. So because I had to flee, I had to pull the chain through the horse, yeah..not a pretty sight and thats it. All I remember

Don’t know how, as I wasn’t reading any Lovecraft at the time, wasn’t thinking about his stories, but: Puritans? The sea? A cult? Sacrifice to dark gods? The Providence? Gah. I’ll probably turn this into a story at some point, or at least try, but the fact that I dreamed this randomly still spooks me.

This was even hazier than usual. All I know was that there were three parts. One I dont remember at all, one where I was at school and one where I was in a Pokemon game.
Had a funny thought though when I was close to waking up. Lol instead of pokemon you catch girls and try to collect them all! Like in the safari zone, instead of bait you put out shoes. I know, I know..not very feminist of me..still a hoot

When I used to be at Hellfire, I once mentioned having dreams about recurring, nonexistent places. The dreams themselves aren’t recurring — the same “stories” don’t happen over and over again — but the settings keep returning in dream after dream. One of them is a snowbound town with a broken ski lift, another is a below-ground, darkened movie theater, and another is a beach with a castle on it to which you have to take a boat. A recurring dream-place that’s been popping up lately during the lockdown is an old hotel. Sometimes the hotel is supposed to be the Tower of Terror ride at Disney World, a ride I like (as ArArArchStanton knows!), sometimes it’s supposed to be some generic hotel, but it never looks like the Tower of Terror “lobby.” When you enter this lobby, instead, you see clerks behind the front desk, and you can wander off to side-rooms. One has a portrait above a fireplace and many stacked chairs, as if it were just used for a conference. Usually I get the feeling that I’m not supposed to be in these rooms, but the side-rooms never have people in them. Anyway, what made me think of this was that last night I watched a joyously cheesy movie, The Omega Man (1971), in which Charlton Heston’s character goes to an abandoned hotel that resembles the one in my dream. I can’t find many pictures of the hotel set, but here’s the movie on Internet Archive, and the scene starts at 27:46. archive.org/details/TheOmegaMan1971It’s not a dead ringer for the nonexistent hotel in my dream (not to mention “my” hotel isn’t crumbling, though other than the front desk it seems, spookily, no one’s there), but it’s close. I had one of the eeriest déjà vu moments I’ve ever had when I saw the movie’s hotel. Does anyone here also have similar “recurring places”? Or recurring dreams in general? It’s a terribly odd feeling.

I don’t typically. But I find it interesting that you return to the same settings. It makes me wonder why and how your brain has been conditioned to these particular places.
I did have one dream I returned to after years but I didn’t realize it until late in the dream. I basically walked into a room and was looking from the opposite perspective at where I was in the dream years earlier. Interestingly, my view of myself was obscured by a column in both dreams.

Ok this one was strangely uneventful. Only a bit weird I suppose. Anyway, I was hanging out with some peeps at a cafe at Jb Hifi (electronics/dvd store). It may have been a cafe but it also couldve been serving some other drinks or food, I dont remember but something like it. In real life, the electronics store doesnt serve drinks or food. Afterwards, exiting the store I was cruising around the rest of the complex. I saw some people at another store and they were surprised I was working at jb hifi (to my surprise too). A jb hifi lanyard appeared around my neck. The people that knew me at the different store, I dont remember if I knew them from real life or previously inside the dream.
I returned to my place of 'work' and discovered the shop was completely empty. Also my laptop was gone which I returned for in the first place. Just a vacant white, pristine shop. Nada. No fixtures, no furniture. Just all gone. Just walls
I also weirdly remembered another dream I had aaaages ago. Different time, separate incident. The only reason I remembered it was that it had a distinct part to it. I was in an apartment and outside it looked like anarchy-end of the world scenario. My door suddenly bursts open and someone shouts, "Get your bazooka!"

I’d be terrified if I one day found the settings in my dreams, but I don’t think that will happen: for the most part, I know what they’re based on. (For example, the beach seems based on a beach I used to visit as a child, and the castle seems based on a Gold Coast estate I visited as a kid too — albeit in different places, but for some reason my unconscious put them together all these years later.) I remember your opposite perspective dream from KW. It’s spooky, and so interesting. I know you don’t believe in anything supernatural, but I’ll say that your dream seems, if not super-, almost preternatural. Certainly eerie.

I think watching the TV series Bodyguard has had some influence on my dreams. As my latest dream featured English actress, Keeley Hawes (who can be seen in that^ photo alongside Richard Madden, who played poor ol' Robb Stark in Game of Thrones), and from what I can recall of the dream, I think she was playing one of the past Queens of England (I can't remember which one, though), but set in 'modern times'. Whichever Queen it was, she seemed to be spouting all of her 'famous quotes'. The last thing I can recall her saying was "I will not!" (whether there was more to the statement, I don't know).

So I ordered some food to be delivered ie uber eats. Guy showed up. I was looking for my key hurriedly. Grabbed it and went to the door to realise it was only a key ring. Looking for the key again sigh. Found it. Opened the door (not sure why I need the key to open the door from the inside lol) and discovered a tour/restaurant bus delivering my food order lol. The driver said I was too late. He had to wait 10min. Kept my food and drove away..

This is just a fragment, but it may amusing… Two nights ago I had a dream that I was in the library from my childhood hometown (which in real life is closed because of the coronavirus). Everything, though, had changed: the movies and books were in completely different locations, and there was even a second floor in a location where there couldn’t be a second floor because of the building design. I quickly realized the library had decided to make these drastic changes while it was closed for the pandemic, and didn’t like the changes at all. Just then, I saw a librarian I knew as a child, who in real life retired and moved south about 10 years ago. I was delighted to see her again, I haven’t spoken to her in years, and she sees me and… And screams, at the top of her lungs, “ARE YOU WEARING YOUR MASK?” Of course, she can clearly see that I’m not wearing my coronavirus mask, which is hanging around my neck. (I hate these masks—and all masks, for that matter. Have I mentioned that here?) Then she sprints to the other side of the library, saying she has to be 6 feet away from me, though of course she’s actually running far more than 6 ft. away. I was kind of angry that was her response to seeing me again...though then I woke up I realized it was a dream!

I watched Eyes Wide Shut for the first time last night. While I should probably post about it on the “what did you just watch” thread, I’m not sure what to write about it. It’d be hard even to come up with a simple statement of “I liked it” or “I didn’t like it.” What I will say is that the movie terrified me. Or maybe terrified isn’t the right word— disquieted, unnerved? Maybe? I find it strange to see criticisms of the movie that blast the cult ceremony (not an orgy, not at all) as unintentionally humorous; it made my flesh crawl. Not sure why, either, but for whatever reason it was one of the most sinister scenes I’ve ever seen in the movies. There was something wrong about it, something malevolent. The adjectives won’t help; the scene just really bothered me. The whole movie was like that. While I was watching that scene, though (and had to look away at times because I was so bothered), a thought popped into my head: I’m going to have a dream about this. The thought came right when Kubrick was cutting among all the Venetian masks, all those horrible caricatures of human faces staring at Tom Cruise as the red inquisitor asked him to undress, and I saw the scene and just knew I’d have a dream. And dream was the word that came to mind then, not nightmare. That’s fitting, of course. The movie’s based on a 1926 novella called Traumnovelle ( Dream Story), though I didn’t know that before seeing the film. The movie ended around 11:45. I went to bed just after midnight. And, sure enough, I had a dream. The weird thing was that it was extremely vivid, I can still remember how I felt in it—but not what happened. I know it started off at a party, fitting in with the movie’s parties. I know many members of my family were there. I know a huge TV was in one room in the dream-house, which was mostly made of glass, mostly one huge glass hallway. There might have been a dog outside. At one point the dream shifted, and we were in a museum’s gift shop instead. Oddly enough the events in the dream didn’t mirror the events in the movie, as far as I can remember; the similarity was in mood, that disquieted feeling underlying pretty mundane events. In the dream, I know I talked about the movie to someone else, and I woke up this morning thinking I had discussed the movie with someone else, when of course in reality I hadn’t. Anyway, that’s all a lot of blathering just to say that I had a dream more or less about a movie that affected me, disturbed me, but I’m wondering if anyone else here has had dreams like that. I’ve had dreams about movies, definitely, but rarely just after seeing them. It took me a few months to have a Star Wars dream, for example. Or take my mention of the hotel in The Omega Man above: I thought I’d dream about that hotel that night because it resembled an imaginary hotel I’d previously dreamt of, but I didn’t. For Eyes Wide Shut, though, I knew I’d dream about a movie about dreams and did indeed dream about it. How apropos. Anyone else have similar “I know this’ll pop up in my dreams” feelings?
