I don't know why but recently almost all of my dreams are related to Super Mario 64 and I haven't played that game in months. From what I can remember, the dream I've had today involved some airships and I had to infiltrate some kind of village. A few Zelda characters showed up to help me, and I don't remember anything else aside of that.

My only touhou-related dream was a few days ago, and it was only touhou related because Nitori was one of the main characters. Duke Nukem, a guy strong as fuck and Nitori were infiltrating some sort of base, Metal Gear style, and Nitori was providing intel support.

Sup janitor

I dreamed I was dead, then I woke up

I dreamt I was in the Korean War, bursting gook melons with a Lee Enfield.

i dreamed i went outside and got beat up for no reason

ill get revenge once i fall asleep again

My dream for today had to do with zombies on motorcycles.

I hope I will have a lot of Touhou dreams tonight and I will remember them.

I dreamed that I lived a peaceful life in a rainforest. I spent all day playing Timesplitters 4 online.

I dreamed that I was walking through a desert, wearing rags. I came across a man in knight's armor. He ripped me open and began to munch on my intestines. Red balloons floated out from inside me. They popped once they left the atmosphere. Purple liquid came out of the balloons. The liquid formed two moons. The moons then flourished with a variety of different flowers, with the sun shining behind them.

I dreamt that I was a korean commie winning the war. Then I was a vietnamese starving peasant and I was also winning the war. Lastly I was a poor afghan farmer winning the war.

Do you keep your dream diary on paper or digitally, /jp/?

I write my in a little green notebook every morning, but I'm thinking about switching to my phone or notebook computer.

I had a dream that I went to a big city with my mum and it started storming really badly and they closed the interstate exits on our way back. We couldn't take the one back home so we had to drive back a long way around. The storm passed, but the exits were still closed. Before we got back home, I left the car and flew down an exit I was really curious about for some reason.

Daylight was beginning to break, and there was this huge cliff towering over the right side of the interstate exit, which seemed to be leading me off into the mountains. The cliff was really imposing, and I was pretty worried some rocks would fall off and crush me to death because it was hanging out over the road.

The exit led out to a dead end, and the road turned into cobblestone as it meandered up towards a giant plastic castle, several tens of stories tall. There was a "Chuck E. Cheese" logo emblazoned near the top of the giant castle near the center of the castle facing toward the sunrise which was a little up and to the right.

I was presently being stopped by two middle-aged men in black suits and aviators, with earpieces. One was black and one was white. I assumed they were security, and was proven correct when they stopped to scan me with metal detecting wand. They took my pack off my back, which I was unaware that I was carrying, and flagged me ahead toward the castle entrance.

There I was greeted by a couple of lolis in maid uniforms, who greeted me in turn. I asked what I should do next, and the one with dark hair replied,

"Just give me 100 bucks and head into that door straight and to your left over there."

>>9088229
I used to keep one on paper. Nowadays, I don't keep shit though.
I don't really doing this kind of stuff on the computer

>>9088229 cont.
"Just give me 100 bucks and head into that door straight and to your left over there."

"Isn't that a little much for a tip?" I replied, brushing her off and heading for the entrance, which was two ornate wooden doors. Not that I had any money at all anyway.

Inside the castle, the floors were lined with red velvet and green marble. I looked around, and saw my mum waving at me as she had just caught up. Knowing that she is afraid of heights, I asked her if she wanted to peer down at the ground off the top of the castle with me. She gave me an irritated look, and reminded me that that wasn't something that she was particularly keen on. Wanting to ditch her, I told her I was going to find a restroom.

I found one a few corridors over. It wasn't at all what I was expecting. The bathroom looked like something out of an abandoned mental hospital, with unidentifiable brown-red liquid stains all over the green tile on the floors and wall.
The lights were dim and flickering bare fluorescent tubes that appeared to be attached to their fixtures with spiderweb. I had already seen 3 roaches in the time since I entered 30 seconds ago, and the place reeked of shit.

It can't be helped, when you have to go, you have to go. I looked for a toilet that wasn't still clogged with used toilet paper and excrement and couldn't find one.

Just then, a corpulent old black dude in a wife beater entered, with armfuls of supplies. I figured he might work here, but then realized he was just staying here at this castle/hotel/scat resort. He had fresh toilet paper, hand sanitizer, air freshener, disinfectant and those little sheets you stick on the toilet to sit on. I asked him for some of his supplies, and he offered me enough for more than a few rounds of chocolate thunder.

>>9088229
Paper, though I just jot notes.

In fact I use it for more than dreams. I wake up about four or five times every night with thread ideas or posts I want to check on the archive.

>>9088247 cont.
We decided he would use the back stall, and I would use the one closest to the door, in case anything bad happened. He went in his stall and locked it, but before I could go in mine, the maids appeared in the doorway, apparently taking a break on the clock.

The dark-haired loli handed me a coin roll she pulled out of a pack of cigarettes, and said.

"You want one?"

"Uh... sure." I actually really didn't even smoke anymore.

"Um... aren't you a little young to be doing something like this?"

"Fufufufu, and what's a worthless lolicon who lives with his parents doing chiding me? To be honest, I really didn't expect you to even accept a cigarette. Didn't you quit?"

I was about to light it with a lighter that I for some reason had in my pocket, when she put hers up to mine and lit it that way. With the first inhale, I immediately regretted accepting the cancer stick. It was nasty, light menthol shit. I also wasn't used to the smoke anymore and coughed a lot, like a teenager. Just then, my mom walked by the carry-out window a little up and to my right. She asked what I was doing and gave me a disappointed look.

Then I woke up.

Not only is it impossible to remember a dream in such detail, but dreams by their very nature are almost entirely arbitrary and would not have anywhere near as coherent or chronological a narrative as yours.

Seriously, it is so easy to tell when people have invented dreams that I can't imagine anyone is actually stupid enough to believe you ever had this. You can't even claim to be able to lucid dream because this isn't evident in your description at all.

What exactly are you trying to gain from lying?

>>9088352
Okay, but that's completely wrong. I have a notebook full of them.

If that isn't arbitrary, I don't know what is. It doesn't make any sense to me and I had the dream. That's word for word what I wrote, half-asleep this morning recalling what I had just woken up from.

Also, remembering a dream in that much detail isn't impossible. I've been doing it for years. Instead of bombarding you with more walls of text from the night before last or some other night where I actually had an interesting dream, I'll just suggest you go to a community that frequently talks about dreams and see that this isn't at all uncommon.

I normally have 3-5 pages worth of dreams each morning, but I still only have DILDs very rarely and can't WILD at all yet.

Also, my memory better than average normally, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Besides, why would I bother writing all that? It wasn't even an interesting dream. Nothing happened really, no one died, and there were no fights, sex or tea parties.

>>9088392
Oh but he is not consciously lying.

He's lying to himself.

>>9088392
>>9088473
Just because you don't have any type of awareness doesn't mean that everyone is like that.

>impossible to remember a dream in such detail
You're new at this aren't you?

Peace. I am on war.

I don't rememeber... But it made me really depressed today.

I think I had a dream about Shou and Nazrin today, but I don't remember shit.

just started practicing dream recall..
i dont have a notebook yet, so all i could do is try recalling them the moment i wake up.
funny how i can remember them clearly when i am still on the bed,
but once i get up and turn on my pc i usually forget them

I had a dream that I had to cum inside a test tube to get a girl pregnant. I came on her stomach and scooped up the mess into the tube. Then later to see if she was actually pregnant i had to poke resistors into her egg cells but I kept fucking up, finally I gave up which is when I awakened.

I've been writing down my dreams in my computer for years. Depending on how you split it, i've got 1327 or 798 dreams. The first number is if you count individual dreams, second is if you count days I remembered dreams, because some nights I have 2 or 3 different dreams.

One of my favorites was a dream I had where I went on a rafting trip with a bunch of touhous and few Turok characters. We stopped for the night and had dinner with a mad scientist, he poisoned us all and we beat him to death before we all died. Not a really interesting plot, but I don't remember it for that, I remember it because it was the most lush and detailed dream i've ever had. The jungle, shrubbery, water, and buildings were unreal. It's the dream that got me to start writing down my dreams.

Last night I dreamed Ranka Lee and I walked along a highway barefoot holding hands while a meteor barreled toward Earth. Don't remember what we talked about.

>>9088564
I usually spout off a few keywords as soon as I wake up. Like minigolf treehouse bernkastel; just remembering a few key points is enough to recall the whole thing when you write it down.

I dremt about gigantic fumo dolls that played and snuggled with me.

do you guys dream in 2d or 3d?

>>9088492
>>9088504
>http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/categories/non-lucid/

None of the dreams on that page are as specific or as 'neatly' chronological because our mind does not think in this way when we sleep. The whole point is that part of our brains shut down or function only in part.

This is why it's very unlikely that a dreamer would be in the same 'scene' (sometimes called a mise en scene among psychologists) for more than 10 seconds (weaker visiospatial sketchpad), and why you're unlikely to recall motion well (lower motion perception as dorsal stream and visual cortex shut down in REM sleep).

Playing the special snowflake argument won't work - You show no regard to any classic behaviour patterns in dreaming and thus your dream is false.

>>9088603
in my dreams 2d and 3d characters blend together perfectly
I don't even know how it works, they just don't seem out of place

>>9088622
Same here.
It's strange, now that I think about it. My dreams are neither 2D nor 3D

I have a dream diary by my bed. It's been there for a year and I've never used it once. I always find some excuse not to write when I get up. It's unfortunate because I know if I mastered lucid dreaming, I could have a whole new realm of excitement to explore. But I'm just too lazy.

I could talk about my more vivid dream or my only lucid dream, but nobody cares.

>>9088608
Actually none of those things in my dream lasted as long as it took to read them or write them.

I never claimed to be a special snowflake, but if you lack an eye for detail then it's like trying to explain the hanging gardens of babylon to a blind toddler.

And you are very wrong about motion, I've flied, swam, ran, jumped great distances, fell and floated in my dreams, as well as chased things. And many, many other people report the same. In fact you would probably have a harder time finding someone who hasn't had a dream in which they were running than someone who has.

I'm sure that you think you are some kind of professional armchair psychologist or whatever, but even if that were your field of study, I'm sure you would be well-acquainted with how pseudo-scientific it often is.

Also, those dream snippets aren't a single unbroken scene, for instance the bathroom is a very different place than the inside of the castle, which was very different than the stormy city or the interstate.

I'm sorry you can't put your dreams neatly on paper, or maybe you just have terrible recall. Many of those dreams on there are indeed as detailed and chronological, some even more so. That doesn't make me or them liars, but you calling us such is very rude, and a bad way to vent your frustrations.

I always dream about things I don't want to dream about.
Stuff like school, having to do some stupid errand, or running away from some shit.
Fuck my subconscious.

I had the same powers of Spider-Man, but I never had the chance to use them.

And my neighbors discovered my power level.

I dreamt that people were dying mysterious, violent deaths all over the country, and I was in my elementary school playground at night. There was a man tied to the jungle gym to become a sacrifice for a flesh monster covered in the arms of its victims. As it approached I realized I would be a sacrifice too, but I wasn't tied down. I couldn't cut the man free in time, so I ran.

In retrospect I probably shouldn't have been reading I Am A Hero before bed.

Have not dreamed even once since waking up from my coma and that was a year ago. NOT. EVEN. ONCE.
I guess when you spend 4 years in bed you've pretty much dreamed all you can

>>9088695
>>9089014
Is there a reason for the spoilers?

>>9089016
No.

>>9089019
Then fuck off with them.

>>9089016
Emphasis. Did you actually want me to spoil something for you?

>>9089016
Supplementary asides, withholding information from our cursory scanning, to imitate a beat:

Some shitty story of shoujo manga couples in one piece world or something.

>>9089046
Man you seem pretty critical of your own dreams.

this image sums them up perfectly

none of my dreams are lewd fyi

but they are colorful and adventurous

I dreamt I had a loli girlfriend last night. Shit was pretty cash.

I had a horrible dream the other night. The kind that upsets you not just emotionally but mentally. I was on patrol on a normal day in NYC and long story short I got shot. The sensation of being shot felt so real and vivid in my dream. It felt like there was a burning hole in my chest and that it just kept getting hotter and hotter.

I tried calling my parents on my phone but when they answered I couldn't talk. I was in so much pain. Fellow police said they were on their way but they never came in the dream nor EMS. I just sat there on the street staring off as nobody helped me and nobody cared.

The dream ended there. It was one of those traumatic dreams you might have once in a while except this was my first.

>>9089117

The only question is: Did I die?

I hate dreams that end with cliffhangers.

Incest with my older sister. Sadly these sort of dreams happen way too little.

>>9089122
Maybe you really died back then, and what you're living right now is just a dream.

>>9088608
>The whole point is that part of our brains shut down or function only in part.
Not at all, fine gentleman. Please read a bit about this. In fact, your brain is at 101% output trying to fuck with you and creating a whole virtual world for you.

>but how do we rest then?
Nobody knows and sleep is not completely understood yet.

>>9089122
Of course you didn't die, silly Anon.

For some reason I keep dreaming about completely normal things like going to the movies or buying a new microwave oven. It wouldn't matter if they didn't get mixed up with reality but they do. Today I found a bill (it was still in the envelope) I had supposedly paid the day before.

I was playing with little cute fairies in a forest, then I became a cute fairy....

I was so sad when I woke up.

>>9089278
Freud thinks you have mommy issues and the gay gene, dude.

>>9089288
What about mommy issues? My mom is alright? I dunno about the gay thing too much I doubt it'd work for me I can't fap to dudes for some reason.


Seriously interested where you read it from though.

>>9089300
nigga is u serious
??

>>9089318
yah nigga.

>>9089335
yo word??
u seem like a busta to me

My dad for some reason owned an anime figurine shop and I walked in one day and wanted these weird figmas, one was a strange Miku with purple hair and the other was someone with twin tails I couldn't remember. I had enough money to buy them but instead I stole them(?) and ran away.
Next scene is my dad dying next to the pool, and I was holding a bottle of clear poisonous liquid, I guess implying I poised him.

I had a dream that I flew through the air, grabbed my waifu, and started singing Linkin Park's "Crawling" while she wondered wtf was going on.

It was weird.

Someone I know baked me cookies, and I had the tin with them all in it, and I wanted to return it to her but it was raining out and I couldn't.

I keep on having dreams where I cross-dress, suck a dick, get beaten up, get laughed at, and then become surrounded by huge bugs.

What does it all mean?

>>9089340
Oh my god are you for real a black person? I've never talked to one not even online!

Is it true you people have golem like strength?

>>9089353
It means you are a self-hating faggot.

>>9089360
Is this really true? Because I fantasize about things like this as well.

Isn't lucid dreaming tiresome? Wouldn't it be a bit draining to have your brain never enter that "sleep" state?

If it wasn't for this belief, I would be a king of the dreamworld by now.

>>9089395
No, you really probably can't lucid dream every night, and the best lucid dreaming isn't done when you normally would be asleep for the night anyway. It would be a WILD done in the afternoon.

Recording dreams from each night can get pretty tiresome if you go all out and try to wake yourself up during the end of every dream and write it down. It's not as tiring as it sounds though. It's really the broken sleep that makes you tired, not the vivid dream cycles.

You sleep in a similar way regardless. You have multiple dreams every night, you just don't realize it because you haven't focused on improving awareness and recall. If you were able to achieve lucidity via DILD every night, yeah you would probably get more REM sleep instead of deep non-REM sleep which would make you a bit more tired, but you would also be in the fraction of a percent who had this level of talent.

Really, read up on it though. You don't have to make any trade-offs to lucid dream.

was at a house with grandparents (possibly a house they bought). me, grandma, grandpa, and mom, along with one other female figure i didn't recognize. unrecognized figure acted like a tour guide. house was home to a number of strange exhibits that were mapped out in a large book. one such exhibit was a room containing a gigantic (8+ feet long) tarantula (replica?) nailed to the wall, along with several clippings and diagrams adorning the walls. the foyer contained around 100 different small boxes roughly the size of board games but a tad thinner (maybe only 2 inches tall). the boxes were all contained in a large case that resembled a TV shelf, with very tall cabinets on either end and above holding all the boxes. each box was a deep crimson and had a faded label (usually with the name of a cryptid or some occult subject) attached in parchment on the front. I pulled out one box at random and opened it, i don't remember what it was. the box contained an article written on loose parchment and several other pieces of paper that i believe had writing or diagrams on them. may have been recurring, it all seemed very familiar.

My dreams are very long, complicated, and they make me sometimes feel sick.

was in a pub with ugly light blue paint inside, random faceless people everywhere, a bus stop outside but no road and Australian type bushland infinitely in all directions. tried to talk to some people but they didnt respond

tried to wake up and couldnt, started to wonder if i was dead.

i want a hug /jp/,

I have melancholy dreams about deep oceans, cruel beasts, long-abandoned villages, and crushing darkness.

Last night's dream is pretty usual if you ask me.. Have had better dreams.

>>9089422 DILD

Hehehe

When I dream then it's only bad stuff, I can't dream about things I like anymore...

I was with some people in school and my English teacher said that she remember playing hitman series long time ago. She was showing it on her laptop and she explained what she will do next. Then some guys said that they like some werewolf game(don't remember name) and everyone in room agree that they like it too. Then one of the werewolf guys(they had fur on their heads) asked me if I played it too and I said that I don't play it cus I don't smell like dog. They asked "What you've played then?" and I said that I "play wampires" and when then wanted to hear some titles of games with wampires I only said blood omen and Skyrim, and then dream ended pretty quickly.

So stupid.

My dream today is.. continue with my NEET life, alone, without thinking in commit suicide.

I have lucid dreams every few nights a week. I like to dream about being a superhero and flying. It's really fun.

>>9089712

That whole dream looks like a metaphor for 4chan. Light blue walls, faceless people, no roads out. The only difference is that I just responded to you.

I have a choice tonight, /jp/. I have an empty notebook and a pen. I could put them by my bed, thereby forcing myself to write in it when I wake up. Or I can continue not caring and just not enjoy the world of dreams.

Worth doing?

>>9089893
Decide for yourself. Keep in mind that just putting them there won't guarantee that you will remember or have the motivation to write while you can still remember your dreams well.

I personally write tomorrow's (today's if it's late enough) date in my note before going to sleep.

Is that the same girl that's alway puking and taking drugs? Who is she? From what anime/game/manga?

>>9089923
Not from anything, I think. Vomit-chan is 4chan OC.

>>9089923
She's Mado Scarlet, from Touhou. She's the sleepy guardian of the gate to Patchy's library in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is Remilia Scarlet's older sister and tutor.

>>9089923
Pretty much this:
>>9089935

>>9089935

Googled her. Thanks!

>>9089871
oh my god, you are right.

what the fuck subconcious

>>9089965

Perhaps you just like this place so much that you even want to incorporate it into your dreams! Oh, but I'm sure that part about not being able to wake up doesn't mean that you couldn't leave! And I'm sure that the fact that you thught you had died doesn't reflect how this site is slowly killing you! It couldn't possibly!

>>9089981
gaaaah why kafuka, why?

>>9090000

I just said it couldn't possibly be those things, there's nothing to worry about!

Would I lie to you?
