I dreamed that I was the ringleader behind a violent armed robbery of a store in a mall. Me and four others were each carrying several guns, and shot everyone in the store. It was a small store, with a surprisingly high amount of people in it. There was one person I didn't want my posse to shoot, and I don't remember if they did shoot them, but I ended up deciding to leave after we argued about it. Before I could exit the mall, cops started coming in, and metal shutters were closed at every entrance. I realized they'd be able to quickly identify me from the fingerprints on the guns I left behind, so I tried to find a hiding place in the mall that wouldn't have security cameras. I kept thinking, surely I'm not actually in trouble for robbing a store and shooting people, right? How on Earth would I let that happen? Why would I ever do that?

I followed someone I know, Jack, down into the basement of the mall, where I used some filled trash bags to hide myself. Jack thought that was weird. He just wanted to avoid the cops out of disrespect for them, and to avoid being interviewed. I was also afraid the cops would start tracking my phone after identifying my prints, and I was afraid they could remotely turn it on if I powered it off, so I put it in airplane mode. When they came down, they talked to him, and he didn't tell them I was crouched behind the trash bags.

After the cops left the mall I went home, and I was in a constant state of fear. One website I logged into displayed a warning that my activity was being shared with the police after they reached out with a warrant. I think enough security cameras were broken that they couldn't prove I was actually part of that gang, and the people they arrested weren't talking.

When I woke up I was very relieved I hadn't sunken into a life of violent crime. I was still tired, so I fell back asleep, and each time I woke up I was happy to be back in reality, where I wasn't going to probably get arrested.

A few nights ago I dreamed that Disney made a Code Geass remake. It was still an anime, and was still two seasons of 25 episodes each, but the story had been majorly overhauled. For one, "Zero" was removed, and all of the knightmare frames were replaced. Mao, Charles, Jeremiah and V.V. weren't in the remake, and C.C. was made a much more minor character. I was watching it with a friend, and he was pretty impressed, but I was stunned by what was missing. It was a very beautiful series, the new animation was wonderful, but I found the ending to the first season to be extremely weak compared to the giant climax of the original show's first season.

I tried showing the original show to my friend, but in my dream, the animation was a lot worse, which made it harder to go back to.

I remember the remake's first season ended with an aerial battle between Lelouch and Suzaku in grey or brown knightmares. There weren't any knightmares as interesting as the Lancelot, Guren, or Gawain, none of them had swords, and I don't think anyone used a custom knightmare. Knightmares made fewer appearances than in the original series.

In my dream last night, I revisited my old high school with a friend, but the building and its location were entirely different from real life. We met some of our old teachers, met some of the new students. I remember there was some conflict, and at some point it might have been a zombie dream, or maybe I'm remembering something else (I've had a lot of zombie dreams, and a horror dream where I met my old high school teachers again). At the end of the dream, we were standing on the roof of the building, me, my friend, our teachers, and a bunch of the new students, staring off at the sunset. One of the students, a girl, stepped forward, and started singing the South Park parody of that song from An American Tail.

Someone somewhere is loving me tonight...

A boy in front of me, and I think one or two other people, joined in.

Looking at the same moon, and seeing it so bright.

Then everyone, myself included, joined in, and the song changed. It became more upbeat, but I don't remember the lyrics. I remember one line went something like "and when you're lost I'll be there," and it was some song about how after all we've been through together, we'll always be there for each other. When the song was over, the dream ended, and I think that's when I woke up. What a sappy ending.

Last night I dreamt about a new... well... "Switch Game" might be pushing it. But... Nintendo released a software that allows anyone - and I repeat ANYONE - to upload their fangames, and those games are stored on Nintendo's servers for free, for other users to download and play. Yes. The main menu looked like the menu of New Super Mario Bros. Wii / U (with the big buttons and stuff) and there you could choose and filter all these fan games. I played one game with completely unique sprites, it looked like a game made with The Games Factory. In fact, it totally looked like something that could be hosted on MFGG (Mario Fan Games Galaxy). The first level was weird, Mario was in jail and he was wearing those striped jail clothes. You had to solve a very cryptic puzzle in order to advance to the next level. After countless tries, I figured it out somewhat randomly (something about the walls not actually being there, despite the sprites showing them) and advanced to the next level, which was a 2D platform level. I don't remember much anymore, except that it was very "fan-gamey", if that makes sense. Such a thing with Nintendo allowing and even hosting fan games would never happen - except in our dreams.

I had a dream that there was this woman I met online, who I think I was online dating, but in the dream I was scared of her. I woke up in bed, but I was a kid, and when I looked out my window at the path behind my apartment, I saw my little brother (not real) heading toward the spot where I'd seen her in the dream. I rushed outside to get him, but I didn't want to get close to where the woman might be, so I just called to him and gestured for him to come to me, and he did. As we were re-entering the apartment he lifted me up with ease, and I felt like I'd just become a floating camera, and he rapidly carried me out of the apartment, into the apartment directly across from us, and to the wall on its right. He showed me an image there, but I don't remember what it was. I'm not sure I was able to see exactly what it was.

Darkness enveloped us and I woke up, and after a few hours I knocked on the neighbor's door. Everything I could see from the doorway was exactly as my brother had shown me, including some photos on the wall, but when I went to reach my head in to see to the right, the man blocked me with his arm and said "begone, spirit." The hall fell into darkness, and then fell over the man, and I woke up with a sharp gasp. Something reached over me and darkness enveloped my room, and then I woke up with a gasp. My little brother was standing in my room, but something felt wrong and I was scared, and darkness overwhelmed me again and I woke up for real, scared that I was still dreaming.

Two weirdly underwhelming dreams last night.

In one dream, I was a professor, but I taught with a Windows Vista laptop, which was weird. That's kind of it. I remember Gmail was having some issues, I think there was like a 403 error, but it fixed when I refreshed. I also forgot how to move stuff from my Gmail inbox to spam, since in the dream I was getting a lot of spam on Gmail. I kept misclicking while trying to move emails, and then I realized I was teaching a class and should probably do this later.

In real life I use Outlook.

I also had a nightmare that it was November 23rd, and that really upset me, because it meant I missed twelve days. I woke up with a sharp gasp.

I did have a more exciting dream between those two, where I was involved in a massive gunfight at a mall. It was some sort of game, and we each agreed to meet at the mall to have this huge fight between factions, but the civilians in the mall were clueless. It concluded with my friend driving us off a cliff, the car smashing into the ground, followed by my bemusement, as I told my friend via voiceover that I usually wake up when I die. He was equally unimpressed with our crash. I think after that, the camera sort of zoomed out to show that this first-person footage was actually being viewed on a computer screen.

Since I don't have the dream journal thread anymore, now I PM my dreams to a guy on twitter, and screenshot them for my dream journal.

Last night I woke up from a nightmare, sitting at my desk. But everything was out of place, and there was a large pile of my stuff to my right. I started to move it, when I realized the pile was stacked nearly to the ceiling. I looked around, and everything in my room was stacked precariously in a handful of pillars. I figured I'd been fuckin haunted, and shouted myself awake again.

Fuck, I dreamt that Egg was in a coma and not dead and had just woke up and was posting all over again...

This young woman kicked me out of my dream a few nights ago. I can't believe it. I can't believe she kicked me out of my own dream. She made me wake up. She KICKED ME OUT of my OWN DREAM.
And even worse, the story of the dream was that I was in the real world. Usually when I dream I make up a world, but not that time, no, I was visiting the real world for the first time. The world I got kicked back to, the world I normally live in, the world in which I type this, is all fake. Unbelievable. I lost my chance to stay in the real world.

Since I have not much to do at work, I'll write down that weird dream I had last night. I dreamt that I had a big DVD case (about twice as large as a normal DVD case) with an artwork and the title "The RPG" on it. I put the DVD in the DVD drive and the game started. It looked like a RPG-Maker game at first. The first scene showed the protagonist waking up in what appears to be his home (all set in a top-down 2D view). Then for some reason his home was set on fire and he escaped through a window. Suddenly the game was in 3D. The graphics and character models looked dated and simplistic at best. The characters were anthropomorphic goat characters with one of them resembling Asriel from Undertale. They were all standing in front of a forest and some kind of cutscene happened, of which I don't remember the details anymore. Then a battle started against some sort of bugs, which looked realistic when compared to the games graphics. Here's what makes this weird dream even weirder: the objective of a battle was not to gradually decrease an enemy's HP until it reaches zero but to impale the enemy with some sort of needle (?) in a single attack. That was dream number one... Now on to the second dream! In that dream I owned an ultra rare DVD box which included multiple DVDs. The DVDs were numbered and had a blue design. The box set included the entire Super Mario World cartoon series in HD.
