062810 DIE SPIDER DIE I don't care if you're magical

In-depth one this morning. Unfortunately I can't remember all the details. There was a ghost in this house... and... legends... and a spider that kept avoiding me when I tried to squash it which was actually a person of some kind... come to think of it, that probably wasn't very nice BUT I BET SHE WAS WITH ARACHNOPHOBIA ANYWAY and no one cares about Arachno-mooks. And then all the legends were resolved and it became a normal house, except there was this... sealed crypt thing in the backyard. (The backyard = NJ backyard) Also, very small sunflowers or very large black-eyed susans. I was a guy and I was walking my daughter through the backyard, wondering when I should tell her about the house's history. And then this guy came and wanted to exploit the legends, so he went into the crypt. There was a "coin" involved, but it was actually a washer. I went in after him to stop things from getting screwed up. Except by going in, that made the villain take action again, kidnapping my wife (......). At this point, I realized I was dreaming, so I had to make a quick decision: wake up and remove the stressful situation, or stay dreaming and figure out how to deal with the situation. I chose to keep dreaming, just in case I ever run into the same situation in real life. /voice drips with sarcasm

In any case, I made an effort to save my wife based on something I'd "done before"--I don't know if it was something I'd done earlier in the dream, or if it was a false memory, but in either case, the villain was expecting it. Now the guy who burst into the crypt earlier appeared from where my wife was supposed to come--wearing the dress my wife had been wearing--and the crypt changed into a tennis court. And we played... uh, it was tennis except with six people on a side like volleyball. My side was all awful. I heard something from real life and decided to wake up.

062210 Err... sorry.

Let's try to get back into this. The dreams I'm recording now are from between when I woke up at 6:30 and when I was re-woken at 8:40.

I cannot recommend reading about Death (from Soul Eater) as a method of falling back asleep.
I dreamt up a new episode in which for some reason Death was wearing his robe as a cape instead and had the body of a fairly well-muscled human. So the impression was kind of like Ashura when they fight, except wearing black cloth instead of pale skin. Umm had markings all over his chest too. I'm fairly sure the whole getup is an effect of those DeathxStein pics I saw a long time back. *twitch* And his hair was taped down with blue tape. Yeah... Wait...... shouldn't he have had... Brain, you lose like twenty billion points. Anyway Kid was there too, but Death was yelling at him for some reason after the battle. Which I think was in like South Africa or something (thank you, World Cup). Except it was my backyard.

After that, I had those bacon-grease-and-sugar biscuits which are so tasty as long as you don't think about what you're eating. I texted RB about them. Then we went to the Nygrens', and they thought they'd sent the biscuits from Germany a while back, which made perfect sense to my dreambrain even if we couldn't figure out why they were still good. Then C. picked on RB (who wasn't there) for using "2" rather than "two" in his text. Then Z. knocked on my door and woke me up to take him to soccer.

Between 4:30AM and waking up at 7, I dreamt that it was yesterday and I was wandering the neighborhood and seeing cosplayers and getting excited for Tekko, and then I saw AL-san and arranged to go to the con with her. And as we were hanging out, I ran into Dan C-C and I think Rich from Quiz Bowl, which was probably my mind remembering that I have to write those questions and get them in.

040710 Something particularly notable...

I dreamt that I dreamt that Soul Eater 17 came out.
:|
And it totally appeared in my (school) mailbox without my ordering it. So I squealed and started reading it right away. I don't think much of what I know about it so far actually showed up... my brain made no attempt at the upcoming battle between M. and J. I was reading something about Medusa trying to take over Stein's body (from chibi form: minus ten points), and for some reason she wound up in Maka's instead. D: And then she... bit Maka's finger off? To make her bleed to death? Dunno really how to deal with that other than "Thank goodness Kim was right there," which she was, for an undisclosed reason.
It was around this time that I explained to my roommates that I was very excited, because I hadn't expected it to be out for another three months and hadn't even realized that it was out until it appeared in my mailbox. Which made me start thinking that it might have been a dream, because I certainly hadn't ordered it, so then I combed my memory for exactly what had happened between interesting pages and failed to come up with anything, and I realized that the cover wasn't exactly in the style of most SE covers, so I realized I was dreaming. Which caused me to "wake up" into another dream. And tell several people about what I'd been dreaming.


I am fairly certain that I'm actually awake right now. XD

031510 I hate swimming...

In my dream last night, I was going to some kind of swimming lesson. My sisters were there. It was not at any pool I recognized. There was some kind of... Bible study aspect to it as well. I got a facebook message saying that I should go to the next Esther's Circle because it was a celebration for someone's birthday and they thought I was only an hour away, not, you know, halfway across the country.

On Saturday morning, I woke up too early and then fell back asleep. I had those really weird dreams in which I'm exhausted but try to get up and go about my normal life as if really waking up. There were a few layers to them... in one of them, I was listening to my iTouch and it glitched and got stuck playing "victor", which would be creepy. Was creepy. Add to that the fact that I couldn't seem to move, and I'm pretty sure that I was convinced in my dream that I was hallucinating. ...I think I may need to stop writing Stein. oO I also dreamt that Mom came in and tried to wake me up, but I couldn't respond and couldn't move. Yeah. These dreams are so weird.

030510 Riiiiight.

Two sets of things I remember.
First, I woke up around what was probably 4:30. Twenty-ish minutes later, as I'm lying there expecting my alarm clock, I actually check the time and see that it's 4:52. Whut. So I get out AAI to play myself back to sleep. As a testament to how well it worked, I was soon under the impression that, as I played, someone mentioned Markus Zusak's The Book Thief and I am the Messenger--I think it was Edgeworth listing them as his favorite books, great taste that man, especially BT which everyone should read and WORSHIP--and also that there was this guy (Zato?) with a GIGANTIC sprite. And the action wound up back on an airplane. Nuts to that. I'm playing case four. Take me out of the courthouse and I'll shoot you and laugh. 8D

In the other thing I remember, which happened after I'd woken up, saved my game, put it away, and fallen back to sleep, I was in a restaurant with a large group of friends--probably Japanese class friends. Lai-san was there. We ordered our food--pasta and ice cream (separate, of course). Half of the pasta and ice cream came, partially served on Styrofoam plates. The ice cream was laid out on these Styrofoam plates in half-scoops and covered with a metal dish cover so that it wouldn't melt before we got to dessert (...yeah, that'll work). But I was on the half of the table that never got our food. Eventually I leave on a bicycle. Except halfway through this bike ride my brain decides that (a) I'm Edgeworth, and Bratziska is there and (b) I'm playing a video game from extremely realistic first-person perspective. I'm having trouble controlling the game camera and the bike at the same time--wind up riding backwards--so I try to press the L button to center the camera behind me as it would in Twilight Princess. Well that just makes me fall over. Franziska comes up to mock and whip me, but I just lie there on the ground. Then my alarm goes off.

These sound like good signs that I've been playing too much AAI, but also note that I keep dreaming about getting the new Soul Eater volume. Like I dreamt two nights ago that I received it. Argh. It was supposedly shipped two days ago, but the USPS tracking thing still says they've received notification to expect the package for shipping. Um. D: Googling "USPS tracking glitch" reveals people having similar problems, so I suppose it's pretty safe to guess that it's been shipped and is nearing my house. Please arrive soon! There's so much information waiting for me. About Justin. About how Stein's doing. About Spartoi. About Soul becoming a Death Scythe, almost certainly going by what I stupidly read on TV Tropes, and about Death Scythes in general (also by what I read on TV Tropes). Also by what I read on TV Tropes: about Maka's soul, some reproductive details about the different races, some interaction between Crona and Medusa. DEAR POSTAL SERVICE STOP STANDING BETWEEN ME AND THESE THINGS.

030210 How did it become March??

Gosh darn. I accidentally closed this page when I was almost finished with the entry. So we're gonna ignore the "two nights ago" and "snippet from last night" sections and just go with what I remember best:
I was outside my house with a pug. The pug's master had just died. The car that the master had driven (more like an Alleged Car: it was an odd shade of yellow, very low to the ground, rather old-school, and falling apart) was being driven away by someone else, and the pug tried to run after it. I had to chase it through my neighbor's yards. In my dream, I was crying pretty badly. The pug was howling or crying somehow as well.
