[Dr Strum]

At first I'm at a beach undergoing a tropical storm or something. My family decides to head inland where we take shelter in a ramshackle building, where something is hunting us down.

Second dream is the ruler of a kingdom is old and his granddaughter is about to marry the hero of a recent war. The old man however is either cynical or paranoid because he calls the hero up to a tower and due to a vision he has, throws him off. (The vision being, a flock of ravens flying around and then seeing a pink pigeon flying among them. The ravens are in fact real, the only things that the old man will acknowledge as his children. The granddaughter, being suspicious of the hero's death meets the ruler and inquires about it. Thinking that the granddaughter too is harmful to the kingdom he tries to throw her off the tower as well. She flees the city or goes into hiding. Her nephew, also suspicious of the Hero's death (and now his aunt's disappearance), discovers that the old man is being mind controlled by the flock of ravens, he lovingly takes care of. The nephew isn't in line to take over the throne, so the ruler isn't suspicious of him (the boy was adopted by a sibling of his aunt who has since died, and is too young to take the throne). He moves around the city in the evening, visiting the information broker/inn/house of leasure, the apothecary/tool shop (run by Dr. Brown and Marty McFly it seems), and the local grocer/guild. By running errands, he gets more and more information about the ravens, in an attempt to free his greatgrandfather from his madness and the kingdom from ruin.

Started from what I can remember with some weird FPS place, me and some woman were shooting something around the place we spawned, then went on to this cubicle area. While her cutscene was running I was looking at something outside of the game, and these floating white mines floated past us and blew up near the cubicles, killing people in them. So I threw stuff at more of them before restarting the place, but it never seemed to go very well. The last version was the most corrupt, with random pens and markers all over the place that I stole, and random family members playing with us.

I ended up at my aunt's house for some kind of birthday thing, and everyone was all talking about random school stuff and some genius uncle in the family that doesn't exist. The house had some really tall parts that I don't see how people could get up with all the food and trays that ended up there. I was trying to eat something or sit somewhere but stuff kept falling or people kept arriving.

Had many that I forgot but here's one:

I was playing a Power Ranger type of game, but it had random other things to fill the gap, since I forgot names and faces so I filled it with random characters with similar ideas. And bunny girls. I was fighting this one fight and lost, and the guy said something like "I was programmed to fight young warriors like yourself HAHAHA" or something that cheesy. Next round I won by "throwing" him. This was hilarious, because I didn't throw him at all. I knocked him out, took him into town, and ggot 999 of whatever the currency was. I laughed and told my stepfather to come check it out.

Some other parts of another dream are coming back...My college was right next door to my High School, but I believe the setup for the school was similar to another dream I had a very long time ago. It was in downtown, and I know where it was based on my real town's design. I dreamed that I went to classes this week, and I was wondering why I was, since classes didn't start until the 18th in real life.

[Dr Strum]

Started as some kind of video game. I think it was Skies of Arcadia mixed with...Dragonball Z? Goku was there with shorter hair, rescuing some kind of bandaged Krillin from slavepeople or something in a larger Sailor's Isle, then wandered around town getting into obligatory cutscenes about the battle system or some woman we had to take with us. Then something about a desert and Gyarados battle and hopping over rocks and Krillinperson getting abilities that let us jump and whatnot in the field but we were going back to the town soon anyway so the guide I was reading said to wait until then to get stuff. Blah blah, suddenly there was a ship and everyone was flying around with the sky rifts, and it reminded me of that one dream I had involving SofA's overworld map and flying around it. They docked around some desert continent and grabbed four chests near the desert town before getting to it. They did the same for some later place, but I don't remember anything in between. The world map looked like Australia with v-shaped wind current markers, kind of like null clines.

Then the cool part. I was in my college's campus center, doing whatever, and I had to go into the bathroom to wash my hands. A lot of military people were there. I was near the door when my hat was too tight so I had to go back to fix it? Then I started leaving again, except when I got to the sets of doors leading out, I realized it was nearly tornado weather outside. In the city. Other people were leaving normallysortof, but I was too light or short and kept getting blown back inside by the wind. Eventually some younger kid left when the wind died down for a bit, so I followed and held onto parts of buildings sticking out when it kicked back up. We got to the corner across from my dorm and the crossing guard was kind of flopping around while cars drove by.

When I got inside, the desk attendant took my ID and put it down, while a couple of other people got swiped in and a couple of other other people signed their guests in. After some absurd amount of time in which someone read that my name was to be held at the desk and the attendant Polish'd on paper(which looked like really fancy cursive/misspellings), she handed me some yellow piece of paper with more Polishy writing on it. I'm still not sure what it said, but it had something to do with church puddles and science. Ended with me trying to explain it to her.

I was playing the third game in a series of games; it was a 2D, roguelike/strategy hybrid, where I had to clear the board of aliens using the main character and two helper bots. I had to cordon off patrol areas so that each contained heal spots and powerup spots for each character to survive. Then I switched back to the second game in the series which required me to play as a scout, who has discovered an enemy army heading to his country. He tries to head them off by climbing through some mountains.

Suddenly one of the rock faces opens, and there are four bodies inside. Turns out that I'm at church and the rock face was actually a hollow tree thing. I call the police and they discover that a congressman who had mental issues had killed them.

Something about having a house on the moon and trying to play frisbee, leaving my backpack in my 6th grade teacher's room after school, and some kid finding out his entire family are one-eyed alien squid things. Then someone tells him it's all a dream.

[Dr Strum]

Started about dorming, people I used to know and some blonde girl, I think she melted or evaporated eventually. Then it was about some ship and some guy and the ship's captain, stuff happened, whales were involved, and eventually the planet split in two and zombies from the other planet came over, except they were docile and didn't want to kill us. Eventually dogs and zombiedogs played together and the zombies could talk, and then there was a princing ceremony for the dogs, and then someone found some papers about the captain and random guy and everything was all a lie.

[Dr Strum]

First part had to deal with....some magical place? It was in the mountains, some abilities were involved.

Second part I was in class, my instructor was Dr. Fulmer. I think we were doing a really old as dirt sort of course, because we were just discussing very simple theorems, like one small part of showing divisibility criteria (just showing that numbers can be written as a+10b+100c+... with a, b, c etc being the ones, tens and hundreds digit etc. I mentioned that to my group who I was working with. Also had a hard time in class, because I was handed a..grade? It had two pages, one was a B and the other was an A. I wanted to ask, but someone behind me wanted to interrupt me and I bitched at her forever and looked like a jackass. I was pretty elitist in the dream, actually.

[Dr Strum]

The Battle on Hoth then something about the world ending and people having to participate in an elimination tournament to survive. Then something about people being inherently pokemon (sort of like how Tales of Innocence had people who had past selves). I was "Battler's Mewtwo" apparently. Something involving Bloody Roar and kissing and then fighting combine.

[Dr Strum]

I was travelling or something and then we were in some mall that contained rooms from my elementary school with a family friend. There were old macs everywhere for some reason, and this mentally troubled guy that was following us around. Then we got sucked into a game with snow and sledding, and I tried to jump onto one that was going down a hill, then there were explosions everywhere...and then I was in a strange house full of plastic toy guns.

[Dr Strum]

Had something to do with a big hill, lots of wind, Rhia, and ghosts. I think it was New Years and 666 kept popping up, not sure why >_>.

Then it was something about boxing or a DBZ tournament. Like, where everyone's fighting everyone to save the world and whatnot, in a tournament bracket. I was standing in some boxing ring with various friends around, and everyone was eating candy. Then some black guy was talking about fire drills that didn't happen even though one did, because it was ghosts. I don't remember what actually happened with the fire drill.

[Dr Strum]

It was set up like an episode of a tv crime series, where some scientist is killed by a group of people using acid and a high ranking government official or business person is targeted next. A cop and his partner call me on my phone and explain what's going on.They tell me that I need to meet them at a restaurant named 'Buddha' which I can't seem to find in the city. A black lady asks me to be her driver, and I figure it's the best way to get around the city quickly so I take the keys and drive around.

[Dr Strum]

Something about dorms at school taking part in medieval battles. I fire a crossbow at random and someone complains that I keep aiming for him. Then my roommate from last year tells me to carry a bottle of laundry detergent. Then he buys a new Sonic game.

A sidescroller about machines tryingto avoid oil patches and fire then Dr. Brown installs a flux capacitor in a bus that makes the bus travel alternate realities turning into a game where if you don't win you disappear. Ben 10 vs Giant moth fighter ship things. One of my friends and I are running up cobblestone streets to find soda for a school dance. Someone yells Dusty but hugs my friend instead, she's apparently the one who got the soda or something but she has a dodgeball/volleyball game to go to. Then the dance committee decides that they should have the fire sprinklers going and it's all surreal.

[Dr Strum]

Can't remember what led up to it, but I had a bunch of random weapons and was trying to kill my way out of some house with people who might have been my family members, because I wasn't doing something correctly, except it didn't really work. Something to do with princes and magic.

[Dr Strum]

Ran around with two girls and possibly my mother and sister for most of a dream trying to corner a demon butler and kill/exorcise/banish him.

Finally did so, then realized that to do it I'd become some kind of raving bible-thumping lunatic. Pinning him down and screaming at him hadn't woken me up, apparently having my saliva glands start reacting uncontrollably because of what he was screaming back hadn't woken me up (although it was certainly weird), but the moment he was gone (dissolved into the rain) I sort of flopped over backwards and wondered if I'd done something terrible. And perhaps lost consciousness. That was where I woke up.

Lately I've also noticed that all of my weirder dreams seem to take place somewhere inside my mother's house, even if in-dream canon calls it something else. This was the room connected to the back door.

[Dr Strum]

I was supposed to be taking over some place, except I wasn't doing a very good job and probably losing. There were three boats trying to sink one late at night, random friends eating pizza with me at some pizza place, people wandering around doing things after I died. I was also trying to learn to play the piano, because I knew a while ago in the dream so I had to do it again. Except my fingers sucked and there were notes named Q and N and O. The teacher and other person were stupid and talking about clocktower bells.
