The Sleep that Leaps the Void

I passed out at my computer.

When I dreamed I thought I was awake. I was blogging away when I hear a strange sound and it’s awfully windy out.

In my dream, myself, Ev and Hype were monster hunters after a fashion. In this world there were huge beasts that were machines that attacked people; really they were just morphing animals on a HUGE scale, and damn near indestructible ones at that. I fight a couple with little incident by way of videogame.

The next one I have to fight I get a call about and suddenly I’m in the game. I beat up some crimelord and claim his fortifications as my own for my base.

And these guys call me again and direct my attention out to sea.

There is this enormous jet/planelike thing that looks like a hammerhead shark with a fine coating of moss over its top. And it is huge.

“We don’t know what that thing is but its headed for a village populated with people.”

Dreamtalk redundancies aside I felt the need to help these people and called on Hype and Ev and we jumped in a boat to speed after the creature, which took off from the water and flew away.

We jetted over a minefield I remembered from some other part of the dream. The mines were orange orbs that lit up and burst out of the water to float before exploding. They made a cool noise too.

So we get to the outskirts and start scrambling through what are simply flooded versions of places I know(The whole dream is flooded from storms long before the monsters happened) and there are more mines we comically scramble to avoid. I emerge in a strange battleground with ruins sunken into an amphitheater pit in the center, and there are huge pillars everywhere and some high tech fortifications, like a tunnel through a thick wall.

My immediate thought is “look up this thing will shoot at us and the skies are overcast as fuck” and I relay this sentiment to a few other people. Luckily the overcast skies are breaking up and I think we might have a better chance.

Until a screen turns on and shows footage of the tunnel.

Some man screams “IT’S SHOOTING AT THE RAILGUNS. IT’S SHOOTING AT US.” The sound of machinegun fire ushers in the hulking bastard of a shark-plane, flying past the lights of the tunnel. I pick up a gun and tell people to take cover.

Taking my own cover I get a few shots at the thing before I hear the sound of engines slowing down and some clanking.

The thing sails over me in slow motion… IN THE SHAPE OF MECHA GODZILLA. Like classic godzilla. Suddenly I receive an overview of the beast’s weakspot, which is under it’s throat when extended. I bash it and it drops a spool of magenta thread…

And instantly becomes something else.

It is now completely organic, a beast with the body of a brontosaur and the head of a woman. She snakes after me and tries to sniff me and no matter what I do SHE WON’T BACK OFF and she’s huge and could step on me and kill me so I just keep avoiding her.

Having this expressionless human face snake towards you in midair is really fucking unnerving okay

She even had hair with a hairband.

I continued to do battle with her whilst some narrator overlaid a story about greek legends that the creature came from. I bashed her in the face with my gun and nothing happened; my onslaught was brutal enough to bruise and yet nothing happened.

Except as I eat her my gun changed to a broom and then a plastic fisher price bat in mid swing.

Then I woke up and sat up and said what the fuck was that.

Holy shit dreams this morning were fun.

The dreamscape was inhabited by these short, black snakes that would transform into fantastically armored snakes of bone when you touched them. I am talking Yu Gi Ou monster fantastic. They would try to bite but it wasn’t very effective.

I ran around in these labs that were used to contain these dark android gods. A lot of them were sex-based gods so I was like ok that was fun to see whatever.

The last god was kept in a seperate cage and was very ragged or worn and was the vessel in which someone stored GLaDOS or some shit. Something like Glados. I dunno. Through a major conciousness transfer she HAD A CHILD with someone’s mind; specifically my character Digo. Because he is dumb.

I was given the conciousness and was told to find my way back to the cell the ragged android goddess.

In the cell was the cutest fucking little-girl formed plexiglass-framed robot like the ones I draw, with an orange, pink and white colorscheme. I leaned my head against the faceplate of the unit and transferred the conciousness, and the little girl bot came to life—

and made a portal and ran off.

So there I was

babysitting a teleporting mechanical toddler

I step onto a beach in one part of my dream. Little girls of all ethnicities are curled up in fetal position under the clear water, sleeping in their bathingsuits and swimtrunks. The sand is off-white and the sky above is kind of not there.

Past a certain line there’s a lot of dust kicked up in the water. There are more girls sleeping at the edge of this siltline in its dips and divots. I walks out in the water and look across the milky sea to a storm-darkened horizon. The sky is now overcast and looks like rain.

All of this took place in the “construction zones” area of my dreamworld, were all of the buildings are only half-done.

There was a bird in my dream that could hover without flapping its wings. It got food from the bottom of a pool, some kind of seeds or something. Then it started bugging the everliving shit out of this one kid. It supposedly loved cherries best and was colored and patterned like a sun conure, but looked like a big kingfisher.

A giant banana spider fell on my face and I managed to keep cool. All I wanted was for it NOT to crawl into my clothing.

There was a taco joint that sold hummingbird meat on their tacos.

At one point I was trying to explain something but my voice was cracking and made it hard to speak; painfully so.

There was a plant that created zombies and I fought them with these urban grafittipunk kids. Until one zombie rapped at us instead of attacking. I demanded we rap back.

Then I woke up.

One of my favorite recurring dream locations is Memoir Lake/The River of Memoirs

It’s ariver that feeds into lagoons that feed into a lake

The lagoons are shallow and at the bottom are forgotten things. Shopping carts. Toys. Furniture. Nick Knacks. All kinds of fucking stuff.

The lake has several areas and is populated by a good deal of spiders, and is surrounded by swamps marked by the occasional coffin. There are tunnels through the underbrush. The closer you get to the center of Memoir Lake, the more you begin to notice it is entirely silent.

At the center is an island with an enormous tree, three monuments not unlike graves, and three enormous coffins. The monuments tell a legend of twins who sealed a monster. HOWEVER reality around this place is WARPED by the seal and the ground, air and everything shift and shake.

Whenever I am in the lagoons and river I am often swimming and doing battle with things, for some reason. The water, though it has kicked up dirt/silt is VERY sweet and clear-tasting if not a bit earthy.

nope the title has nothing to do with homestuck

I was faced with a bit of a dilemma that ended in a nightmare in my dreams.

There was a good deal of traveling between fantasy-ish world that all had a very cold, clear feeling. In them I met and gathered a motley crew of characters, mostly warrior-types. I believe I was somewhere between being Chester and Jesse/Satchel in persona.

a few nightmares too

it’s been a lot of travelling The Abandoned I know

and there was a videogame system where you bought this gameboy thing by paying a subscription and could only get the game cartridges from locally owned specialty shops but they were FREE so long as you returned them eventually. And the shops were usually arcades so it like built this cool community vibe

someone needs to do this and then everyone needs to support this man
