I fear the day that I experience that for myself if I do. Sounds absolutely terrifying from the stories I've heard from other people.

Anyway, my hype for the upcoming Watch_Dogs has gotten so strong, that now I'm starting to have dreams about it.

A few days ago, I was dreaming that I was walking around as Aiden Pearce inside of a local Chicago high school that suspiciously looks like a mix of the two high schools I went to. (I had to go to two because that's how you progressed. One campus for 9th and 10th grade, and the other for 11th and 12th. The former school was built with a circle motif while the latter had more straight hallways.)

I was looking around for info from the students' smartphones to see how that info differs from the info I have seen in Chicago. Most just displayed stuff like "*Insert popular boy band here* fan" and "failed ACTs" with pretty much all of them listed their occupation as "Unemployed" for obvious reasons.

I was following around a girl who was on her cell phone (funny, seeing that my schools had really shitty cell service.) I almost intercepted a texting log she was in, which would have triggered a side quest that I could complete. Unfortunately the door she entered locked behind her which cut my cell phone's ability to hack into her phone.

Knowing that I'd probably be called out for creeping around the school and had the cops called on me if I stayed around, I acted as a lost parent, asking a nearby teacher for directions out of the building. Which I eventually exited and got into my car and drove off, which was when I woke up.

Can it be the 27th now? I've waited for almost two years for this game to come out.

I had two dreams. One was a cross-over between Star Trek: TNG and The Walking Dead. The other one had me waiting to do a job interview. There were puppies, and one guy kept giving me advice involving remembering what signs say and being able to recall three items in my backback.

Dreamt that my family moved to a new house with an unfinished basement. Drywall and insulation were up in most places but there were holes in the ceiling where bugs around 5 inches long would come out and take my food. They were also sentient and disregarded my personal space, which bothered me more than the fact that they were GIGANTIC. How rude.

[Raijinili]

Dreamt one of my friend's family was a family of psychic users. They were at war with another family who had some other power. People close to my friend's family could also gain temporary psychic powers, mine was seeing glimpses of the future. My friend's brother had the power to move objects around and use them as eyes in order to spy and provide security.Apparently my friend was MIA or KIA which is why I was helping his family fight the other family.

I was on a car trip through some mountainside village with my "family" (Who were not my family) which kept growing in number. I discussed actual real-world politics with some guy while some robed people served us deep fried cakes that tasted awful.

Then there was something about going through some store on Christmas, and they had a train you could ride through the store for some 'event'. I somehow glitched the ride so it'd keep giving me Christmas presents, Summer food samples, and prizes.

Then the main dream took place in some dark castle which was also some kind of academy for knights and magicians. So dark you could barely see, and I was some kind of intruder infiltrating the place for some unknown purpose. The real frightening thing was that if I was caught, i'd be killed immediately, and everything was extremely realistic. So imagine a stealth game using your actual athletics and your only perspective is through your own eyes. I went around setting these beacons around at key points, being paranoid about being caught by all the patrols, to the point where it felt like my heart would give out. Then I did eventually get found out, and spent a while running from this whole army of scary looking people who would predict everything I did. Never did find out how that ended, though.

I had a nightmare where my teeth started falling out :(

Dream #1

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

This dream began as more of a movie, I was just viewing it while it "played". The focus was a small family; two kids and their parents. A new person moved in to the house next door, he came over and introduced himself. I don't remember if the guy had an actual name but he looked like a combination of Jack Nicholson and Terry O'Quinn. So after all the pleasantries he went home and... nothing remarkable happened for the rest of that day otherwise.

Some time later, I'm guessing the following night or something, Jack O'Quinn broke into our attic and stole something. I don't remember what it was. The dad figured out pretty quickly that it happened and who did it, so he went to confront the guy, but the dream didn't show me that part.

Cut to the next night where Jack was shown stealing from them again. This actually went on for a while, instead of taking as much as he could in one go he only took one or two certain things from this family, trying to terrorize them I guess. It was working, the mom and kids were afraid because the guy was moving to other rooms of the house and not leaving any sign of entry.

Eventually the dad had enough. He got a weapon (I don't remember what) and stayed up waiting for Jack. When he came, they had a fight, and the dad was stabbed to death. Jack went into their bedroom and stabbed the mom too, then killed one of the kids and left the knife. It was a pretty disturbing sequence to watch almost in person.

The dream jumped ahead to whenever, and now I was the kid Jack left alone. I was over at a friend's house for a sleepover, and the other kid's dad said something to the effect of "Isn't this the kid who killed his family?" which obviously upset dreamme and I was kicked out. The dream ended with the kid outside, and Jack O'Quinn was approaching him from behind.

Dream #2

I was watching a movie at home with my parents and someone who was supposed to be my uncle. Or we were about to watch a movie. Something. Anyway, there was some weird stuff going on where power was going out but it was only for certain things like lights and TVs were unaffected.

For some reason I wasn't wearing any pants in this dream and was hoping no one noticed or cared. Anyway we were watching American Hustle (I think) except it was some weird shot-for-shot remake with other people playing the characters. It was only a quarter of the way through when I got up to use the restroom, except when I got back there I didn't really use it because it was awkward without any light and the room itself felt very creepy and unsettling.

When I went back to the living room three of my notUncle's friends were watching the movie too, and it was already almost over. Oh, and my mom was in the movie for some reason. Yeah. Anyway like a minute later the movie ended and one of notUncle's friends hooked up a Gamecube and we played "Street Fighter", though none of the usual characters were in it :/ We played some kind of four player free for all, I won one match as some kind of Storm+Talim hybrid and almost won the second match as a guy who looked like Bison but was bigger and had a sword, the dream ended before I could win (or lose suddenly)

Dream #3

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

In this dream I was Lara Croft (I guess) and I was exploring some Atlantis-themed megacasino because... treasure or somesuch. At one point the dream shifted and I was at a house in some forest. It seemed completely empty except for me, which made everything worse because it was also very cold, I guess there was some kind of snowstorm outside.

Exploring this house was pretty creepy, it was all creaky and stuff so every sound freaked me out. A lot of the doors, in typical video game fashion, were locked, so it took me a while before I finally found a damn room I could enter.

The room was something like a small lounge or reading room, with two bookshelves, some assorted chairs, a desk and lamp, etc. As I looked around the room I was thinking to myself "This looks familiar, I've played this before, there's something on this small table between the shelves" so I looked and sure enough, there was a stone tree (or something) and on the bottom half a piece of paper that said "Secret of Wisdom".

I took that piece of paper and the "camera" zoomed out of me, showing something glowy happen, but when normal "gameplay" resumed I felt no different. At the top of this "stone tree" was an arrow pointing up and it said something else I don't remember.

Somehow I climbed up the bookshelf nearest to me and found a penny at the top. Just as I was wondering what the hell the point of that was, I found another penny, and then something weirder. There was an engraved "9" by the second penny I found, and across from it was, what I thought, an engraved "forums". Across from THAT was an engraved "11 - Many". Thinking this was some kind of puzzle, I began to set the pennies by the 9 because 9 + 1 + 1 = 11. As I was doing that, the "forums" phrase turned into a dime, but then it wasn't a dime, it was a token with a 0 on it.

Oh, and somewhere between the time I had first entered the house and the time I got up on the bookshelf I picked up two eggs. Literally picked them up, thinking they were important. One of them cracked when I set them on top of the bookshelf so egg was leaking out of it into a big eggwhitebubble :(

Anyway, more strange things with tokens happened and as I was messing with all of this I lost control of ... me, Lara, whatever, and the camera looked behind me. There was a weird flashback cinematic happening, showing some kind of Halloween/costume party taking place in that room. There were a lot of people, most of them in the back in a connecting room, the man that seemed to be the host was right in front of the bookshelf.

Everyone was partying and enjoying themselves, and I thought "I kind of remember this, too. Something weird is about to happen." Just as I finished that thought, everyone in the room made a ghostly "OoOoOO!" noise, and someone wearing a zombie mask approached the host guy from a corner of the room. They were having some conversation I couldn't hear, then the other person put their arms around the guy's neck, like they were about to kiss or hug him. When the guy pushed the person away, they said very clearly "I'm your mother." The guy said something that made it clear he was upset by that and the other person ran out of the room.

The host guy followed, and apparently when this cinematic took place the room I was in was actually more of a small cabin because when he exited the room he was outside in the snow. ANYWAY THE POINT IS ZOMBIEMASK PERSON VANISHED AND IT WAS ALL VERY STRANGE AND CREEPY. The dream ended there and I never solved the mystery of "11 - Many" :(

[Raijinili]

So a lot of stuff happened but the main thing I remember about my dreams was that I was watching a 'Halloween' movie, or I guess several of them. Except, of course, the one I was watching was nothing like the actual movies.

The movie used the Halloween theme a lot but I don't think Michael Myers actually made an appearance, instead there was this doctor/surgeon guy that carted around an operating table. A lot of the deaths involved someone laying on the operating table, a cloth being put over them, and... something would rip through their stomach, and you'd see some kind of shape form in the cloth around that area.

There was a plot, but what I remember of it doesn't make much sense. The heroine knew this guy, I guess he saved her somehow, and then there was this other woman. There was a scene where the other woman took off her clothes and revealed she had a medallion around her neck and also one around her waist, I think the guy was about to do the same thing but that didn't happen. Anyway the medallions and their placement had something to do with fighting evil.

So I was watching all this at home in the middle of the night. I took some kind of corned beef sandwich out of the refrigerator to heat up but it was already hot. While watching the movie I kept looking down the hallway thinking Michael Myers was going to appear outside of the movie. He didn't.

[Raijinili]

I was trying to collect coins or something while underwater and holding my breath, and something about an S-Video cable...

[Raijinili]

Oh, I just remembered that I've had some very short chat channel dreams and Atma was in all of them, as if she had never left.

[Raijinili]

Dreamed the earth was infected with something and under quarantine. Much of the population flees to Giant City ships. I was part of the Avengers or S.H.E.I.L.D or something infiltrating one of them that was suspected to be an Alien ship that had either started the worldwide infection or was at least exploiting it to get their hands on human specimens. Each city ship has varying levels of stability, one was like Mega City One from Judge Dredd, where gangs rule the city and war over turf. Another was barely surviving its own malfunctioning Climate control (Antarctic Hurricanes/Storm). My weapon of choise was something like a miniature Jousting lance but small enough to wield like daggers/throwing knives between my knuckles. I could change their size into full lance size; they could also be made to explode; or shatter on impact etc. I had to stop the Frozen hurricane by leaping into the center of it with a handful of thermal explosive ones. I'm not sure if I survived that one.

A ship we visited was in the middle of being quarantined due to an infection outbreak. At one point we had surrounded a Fire escape exit where there were armed kids outside (Kind of Middle School/Elementary school age). We told them to drop their weapons (MP9s and some high caliber pistols I think) and we would take care of them. One girl refused but told us she would send over her brother. He was sent over to us unwillingly but with her combat vest and ID. We scanned the ID anyway (at a range, halfway between them and us) and it said that she was not infected. We either surmised or checked our known Database of civilians and came to the conclusion that he was infected. Before something was worked out, one of the less mentally stable kids somehow got their hands on a combat helicopter and opened fire on us killing some of the agents. I remember someone saying something about being "too soft on kids." One of the female agents fired a handgun shaped RPG launcher into the helicopter and took it out (It fell out of view, off the building). At some point I think we were getting ready to toss Iron Man's lifeless suit off the building but he was revived and got mad we were ready to off him so quickly.

In another city ship we investigated for alien interference Hulk was rampaging but was sort of allowed to lead us. He went into this weird well/water tower area that was emptied and people had taken shelter in. I tried to get him to attack a certain wall because it was only plastic tarp or something not as hard to smash as brick, but he wouldn't get it. He gave up and just went around it. At one point we must have come a cross some weird combination of Insurance company/Magic: THe Gathering convention because there were Adjusters checking cards against artist proofs to find counterfeits (which is a terrible way to check for counterfeits anyway). I told Hulk to rampage a bit and tried to grab a stack of old cards to check them but accidentally grabbed a stack of artist proofs. I met a couple of friends I had back in High school and found out that they also played Magic (they don't).

Lots of whacky stuff happen, we beat the aliens; the infection is stopped; and the day is saved (kind of).

Had some really weird dream the other night when I was dozing off while relaxing. I was in one of those farm-y houses you see in movies where it's night and there's only one random light post somewhere nearby illuminating the front of the house, but you can still tell there's fields of corn or whatever eeeeverywhere. There was a version of my room there, and I was sort of falling asleep on my bed there(sleepception omg), but paralyzed while even remotely sleepy. So I was just halfsleeping in the dream while worrying about aliens and stuff coming to do alien things at the farm house, and not being able to do anything.

Then some slightly different version where I was in a little entrance room bit with someone(family member maybe?) and bad stuff was happening outside. And then some bear holding a chainsaw that might have been a guy in a bearholdingachainsaw suit happened, except the guy inside it also had a chainsaw and was sticking it through the stomach of the suit and swinging it around like some kind of crazy bear suit wearing chainsaw guy and I was supposed to not get chainsawed. I'm pretty sure I woke up and felt very uncomfortable.

[Raijinili]

Dreamt about a lot of things. One of my friends from school doing parkour things on a farm; going on a trip to San Francisco and taking lots of pictures; and going to Japan with my ex-girlfriend. Very odd.

[Raijinili]

I was with a group of people in a speed boat with all these canals filled with water, and then there were sharks everywhere but only if the boat went into the water in a certain area, so they covered it up so sharks wouldn't happen. Then after the boat, we got into a truck to be smuggled somewhere and we suddenly ended up in Ukraine, but it was taken over by Russia and we had to stealth around to not be caught by Spetznaz.

[Raijinili]

Something weirdly sexual, then I was suddenly called into "service" for some army during a war and was assigned this 'war office.' I snuck around an army building and found tiny replicas of old antique rifles and pistols that were somehow functional.
