Dream Radar (dream research thread)

I had a dream where I was on a road trip with my mom and I couldn’t get the door to stay shut. I asked for her to pull over (as we were going into the freeway, to which she said she’d get it checked tomorrow. Obviously, this doesn’t help with me having to hold the door shut, and after trying and failing to bring the door in or something, it would up falling beneath the car, after which she wsked me to check if it was still there. (It obviously was not)

I had a dream where I was in a weird lecture hall (really tall but like 9 seats wide seperated by 3s) to do an assembly from my high school (more populated by students from my college i think) but over the computer, i didnt have mine so i was moving back and forth to hear well. Then @Jaiden s grandmother appeared (or rather she was part of some commitee?) and I agreed to do a task with her and she was indeed (<- i forgot where i got this fact from) crazily fast i literally could not keep up. Somebody else was kind of there to talk about invading jaidens privacy and such when relevant & otherwise nonexistent but we were assured jaiden would ‘be able to [lock] anything she didnt want us to see from the computer’. This is odd since I saw Jaiden at the assembly before she disappeared.

We got to the car and after a bit of entering car shenanigan (mostly closing door. It was electric and two way and she had a button but even then took some time) we started driving and the car was really cramped. Then we got to her house and. Uh. I dont remember. I was wearing a mask, the vibe was puzzles but i dont think thats really what we (I?) were doing. Oh well. I nearly remembered just now. Trivia on jaiden? Also wrong. I think we were standing around the table doing something and then i was sitting in a chair. I wanted to make a good impression on her.

Then it became this dream where im with unidentified people and we’re by a ‘bridge’ (small metal structure no rails lots of holes)’ in a trail and we ‘recreate the video clip from Friends’ dunno what that one means besides crossing the bridge repeatedly often on your belly and being overly scared. I think ive dreamt this before but unsure.

Substantial levels of gore and also Mike Deltarune for some reason

I dreamt that I had an arrow through my head and had to remove it before school, but after doing so there was a thing of general gore and shit that was similar in structure to a straightened out paper clip of some presumably bone-like substance where I had to try and push all the important shit back in, but there wasn’t enough room to do so and also moving it hurt like hell. (Also, by this point, my head was very bloody.)

And also it was weirdly Mike-themed outside of that? As in like we were also dressing up as the three Mikes for some reason? with the other two being Battat and Jongler (though I saw little of them) and me for whatever reason having the Pluey costume??? And I think the only one with the actual Darkner underneath was Battat, who at one point asked if the whole Pippins head shape thing under the helmet might be a concern with our objective(???).

ive been having some weird af dreams recently. i might be getting sick? idk my dreams are usually not vivid anymore
anyway

i dont remember this part as well, but at the beginning of the dream I wa shanging out with some friends at a party i think, then for some reason the cops were after me. i hid out at anoother friends house and gave him my phone so he could call my sister to let her know was going on with me. then i left and kept trying to hide, but the cops found me and arrested me, but they couldn’t make anything stick, so i was out by the middle of next day (it was like, midnight when I got arrested)
and i was supposed to work but i kinda had already missed half the work day so I just didnt go and I got transported back to like, my middle school? my dreams have involved a lot of middle school stuff lately, but weirdly not even my ex. anyway I remember being in the corner of the gym playing a game on a VR headset, it looked like half life alyx kkinda, but like as soon as i started playing another kid made me stop. so then I went and played with the other kids, but for some reason that got turned into like, this multiplayer platformer where evreryone was racing into a hol in the middle. there were some more kids i ahvent thought about since middle school there, i was able to talk to my sister too but like, she wasnt there, it was like telpathic almost. i remember one level where we spawned up on a platform and everyone jumped out, but we all died bc there were poison mushrooms and if the poison mushrooms were looking at you you took dot but there were a ton so u died immediatley, so people had to carefully navigate out and collect these mushrooms (dying in the process) in order to open up the path to the exit, and the exit opened and i was late to get it bc i had wondered so far off trying to get more poison mushrooms

there was one part where someone was driving a car super ercklessly and like htiting tons of people and it seemed super real (in the dream) and the person doing it was real (in the dream), so like they were actually hitting people, but they were a stunt driver and managed to bail and be completely fine after like driving off a 50ft high highway. idr where this fits in in the order of events though

Had a dream i had been randomly dmd by someone i hadnt talked to in years back when I used to play gmod a lot and they asked if i could be staff on a garrys mod server. I said sure and started playing on this server, and while i was on there there was a group of people who all had different sprays of like, a celebrities nudes? So i went to go ban them, and i tried to get all of their steam ids but i forgot to write it down so i ended up losing all of them bc the console log reset for some reason, and by then people had realized a staff member was there and they all scattered but there was one person left. It was someone who i tried to get their steam id previously but it got lost and i got frustrated and froze them and tried to ban them using “@” (affects the person youre looking at) but they moved last second and i banned someone across the map for a day and i got super embarassed and even though i managed to eventually ban the guy i still got made fun of by everyone and i got really sad bc i eas also the only staff online and the console reset again so i couldnt even find the guy i falsely banned name

Had one where my school’s QB Discord made it illegal to say negative things about the team or talk about other teams. Whenever someone made a post that violated that rule, someone would reply with an @modesa ping, and the bot would send a copy of that message to the mods. In my dream experience, it would always be the same guy doing this.

This is also how I think Fortress of Lies should conduct itself. In this essay, I wil-

I had a dream the moon got too close to the earth, I stood out by the lake and watched it fly by, looked like it was gonnahit us but didn’t, but it did cause the fiery lava fields of the moon to set fires on earth and ended up burning down a lot of the neighborhood. We were fine because our house was covered in enough snow. Then the small dog (we’ve never had a small dog) kept going too close to the fire because moon-fires produce a chemical that looks like this:

and it was like breaking his brain, and he kept wanting to lick it, so my old dog Spike helped get him out of the laundry room (we’ve never had a laundry room)

Then I had a second dream that I was going through some obstacle course with people from middle school and when I got to the end some group started hunting me down and I had to run back through a security checkpoint and a sledding section and escape on a plane and play baseball(?) against them. And eventually we lost the baseball and all died, but then it reset, and we won the baseball they killed us all by throwing a grenade through the bars of the sewer we were in and getting a head start on running. Some guy promised he’d kick the grenade back out but failed

had a dream about my former best friend again
there was some kind of fortress that was also a school that we went outside of. after a while we went to a Secret Hideout she had apparently built. Weirdly spacious but ig that’s how dreams work. I had more I was trying to remember but I forgot

All of this was after some other kind of dream involving a spaceship mission and Perry the platypus but that one is way more hazy

Dream 6 June 2026 (Afterthought)

[Those] (?) [REDACTED] f***ers finally reached my dreams. Birdman has been compromised. Hostage’s return has very high odds of being poisoned. [Poisoned present.] Information has been confirmed to be compromised within the span of three (?) days. Birdman’s partner (Zapdos) remains unseen. [Paranoid rationalist] says it is still [REDACTED]. Birdman’s affiliation could be compromised. Mind path, Minecraft, contraption, small 1x2x2 dimension.

…Lionman won’t like this.

“How do you know birdman was compromised?” You see, foresight isn’t the only curse around. Though many know Prometheus for his foresight, not many think of his twin brother Epimetheus’ hindsight. That [hindsight]… is another name for [retrocognition]. Birdman’s mind has been compromised when we saw the glitches appear when [the enemy] started asking about 『菜月昴』.

Dream 17 June 2026

I dreamt “I” was being doxxed by some mentally ill woman. He was stupid to open the door for her, believing she was some sort of mechanic. The house in my dream was not mine, but the postcode was. I do not say “mentally ill” lightly; due to this being a dream, we (I and “I”) was able to see fragments of her last as a story.

Her story was not even depicted with realism; it was cartoon. She did not even perceive herself as a humanoid. It was as if she was a jelly bean with two oval eyes, an oval mouth, and two squiggly hands. She was red/black, indicating she was not normal. Only when she ate (cartoon) pills, did she return to light blue.

“I” went nuts over this matter. She was ill, but there was a cause as to why she tried to change the passcode to my dream-house’s interior door. (It is not how it works IRL, but uh… dream-logic. The passcode was reverted after she left anyway.) She was angry at me (fortunately not enough to engage in physical assault) because -according to her- “I” desecrated a musical artpiece with graffiti.

We know I have been forgetful over the past few years IRL, but “I” was heavily doubting whether we have ever done any form of vandalism. It simply did not sound like something we would do. Even when I was drinking alcoholic beverages, I always put up my superego on guard in fear of doing me something stupid. I am not lightweight, and drinking always gives me headache. “I” even thought we may have been under the influence “somehow”, but I (now) know (or rather, properly remember) that that simply never happened.

“I” wandered around, finding himself at some balloon-ish triangular-prism-shaped billboard, which had some mentions of the incident the woman was talking about. “I” eventually looked at it properly, and he kept reading until he realized that our name was not actually mentioned in there. He even brought “another person” (IDK who; felt like a police officer though) to double-check it.

So “I” went to think about this matter further, and he found an instance where he had an incident with some bullies (which I never had IRL because I was fortunate enough to grow up in a nice neighborhood) “three years ago” and we guess it was supposed to be resolved with some sort of lawsuit, but it got forgotten?

Anyhow, that’s where my dream kinda ended. “I” went into a dark spiral, getting angry about those bullies (whose faces he didn’t even know) until I woke up.

Huh… There are many themes, but the ones the present me believes I remember the most would more often be bad dreams than happy dreams.

I find myself often switching between 1st and 3rd Person POV, though there was that one time when I saw myself (as a bully) through another person’s eyes.

Attached to reality… I’d say so, yeah. The dreams I remember often revolves around my family (parents and older sister) and friends.

I think my dreams tend to be in the present; neither the past nor the future. Oftentimes, they take place in alternate presents though. Events that never happened IRL; events that are straight up fantasy; etc.

Plot points… I firmly believe that my dreams have a stable flow, but uh… suppose that you have watched a B-rated movie a couple hours ago. That’s often how my dreams feel; if I like the general plot, then I remember those plot points. Otherwise, I’m most likely not going to remember anything that didn’t stick on my memory bank.

Phones… I… don’t think I have 'em? Maybe there was a dream where the focus were phones, but in general there was no advanced technology in my dreams that I can remember. –oh wait. There was that one time when I dreamt of essentially being a god watching over some AoT-like world through a phone-like device, which can also spawn mobs.

Architecture: I’ve seen many buildings in my dreams (mostly educational facilities or plain houses). I’m fairly certain they are all European structures, which makes sense because I don’t travel often to East Asia enough to familiarize myself with their structures’ interiors. There was one odd case though, where there was a grand school of sorts that was so big and odd-shaped, that it ought to belong in fantasy. It reminded me of the castle from the Disney logo.

Geography: I didn’t… pay much attention to geography in my dreams. It’s mostly been buildings. The only non-building geography I can remember at the moment is… a body of water, where I dreamt of riding a motorbike over water at night, escaping from some sort of monster.

I had an odd dream (from a nap) where my task was to program a “basic” sorting algorithm. The words were not there, but my thought process for the structure of the program was. I kinda ran into an issue where my program could not process subjective inputs such as “[very good, good, bad] relationship”. If it was just a sorting algorithm, then it was doable, but “the algorithm I vaguely imagine I needed to do” is something I don’t think I can do on my own.

I had a dream where there was like another weird senior graduation ceremony thing with like an entire like game of mafia b plot thing to the main thing of like there being a bunch of candles with people’s names on them on a big-ass cake that would get like ceremoniously removed one-by-one as a weird crossword/scrabble sort of thing of their name played on the screen (some of which forgetting that all connections have to be words).

But I just wasn’t included in any of it for some reason. Like I was just told to kinda stand there, away from everyone else. I have no idea why the dream decided to be so depressing, but it just did I guess.

(Also someone at one point mentioned like betting someone money if they just like went over and started shooting people (before the weird irl mafia game b plot thing even happened) so I just kinda ran off and tried to tell someone, but nothing really came of it in either direction.)

Ok first i dreamed i was in an orchestra and i was reallly bad at it or maybe the rest of the orchestra was whos to say i materialized at the concert & came in way earlier (or perhaps way louder) on a section playing the same note but louder (so i thought, i got a glimpse of the score & saw a decrescendo) Over time. then i was in the audience. There was pretty much nobody there, but i was sitting next to two people (one of whom joined later), it ended and i was talking to these people but then my mom showed up so i didnt.

Then an adult i know (my mom was with me so im assuming this was the sequence) told me “i checked and youre not on the mailing list” i was confused “for the ginger”. I said we mightve bought it in person. She replied “oh yeah… At a certain point they ran out & replaced it with canteloupe”

Worth noting A: id already half woken up (i think) and started thinking before falling into this latter dream & B: im pretty sure ive had roooughly this dream before some time ago. Details probably varied but the shape was forced along an arc

guns, death mentioned

To start with i was on a bus with a bunch of people & presumably it got hijacked. I hadnt paid my fare so i would have to get off the bus. This was also the first season of greys anatomy i think? Also people died here?? I know later i recalled this happening, but i cant place it.

But then basically we’re all in a room & somebody says “hey im in charge of this thing (which is the hunger games) im in this room i will come out soon” and they really meant it this time (on the bus they said this, but lied. It was a test to ‘see if they could trust us’), because they did. Dunno really what they meant, they told me “go off and plug an electric guitar into the amp” so i went into the room with instruments but there wasnt an electric guitar, and besides i was right next to somebody working plus the door was open and i wouldnt want to be loud. However the person in charge wasnt paying attention so i ran out because they had sliding doors where the only security measure was rather slow guns. They had teleport waypoints outside (outside being roughly modeled on my college campus) and also this was Roblox we were like launching roblox, i saw basically a CG of roblox people there. This was dream roblox of course.

Cut to some time later im a different person and we’re all outside on behest of the guy in charge and we’re kinda just chilling. Theres one guy standing there and i whisper “run you dolt” and he doesn’t, then he bafflingly runs into the building, but the administrative section, which the guy in charge gets very mad at & pulls a gun on him i think he dies but lots of other people get away, this is recounted back to the first person. Presumably? And theres another group of people who also ran away at the same time just down the street, they have a campfire i think.

Then we cut back to the road and this time theres cars instead of chariots but something is supposed to be different. Somebody says something about translation errors (w/rt like chasing speeds. Gods and… Pigeons? Maybe squirrels were involved) and Danish soldiers (i think the characters were supposed to be Danish soldiers)

Had a dream where I was in a class and some people just wound up in (the google account I use for nsfw shit) by just fucking randomly guessing the login info.
Then I learned they’d also gotten into my main Google account through, again, RANDOM GUESSWORK, so I quickly panicked and changed my password.

I dreamed I stole some mushrooms (evil crime, this somehow caused people dying) but you could only steal them while holding bread that dropped crumbs, and I thought there was no way anyone would catch me, but there was a breadcrumb trail I had to hastily hide from my family (who’d come home from rec league soccer) and Bulborbs from Pikmin kept coming to the back door and I couldn’t kill them all fast enough (I didn’t close the door for some reason)
