Crazy Dreams
ok, well I had the most bizarre livid related dream last night. I thought that you guys would enjoy hearing about it:
So I heard that The Livid were playing a show in my town at this venue I had never heard of before. It was called "The Amphitheatre." So
I got there and it was literally just a random stage out in the middle of the woods with seats on a hill in behind it. The show was in the middle of
the day (don’t ask why), and I was all stoked, and then I got there and there were only 4 people in the audience including myself, and I didn’t know
the other 3 people, nor did I have the desire to talk to them. But I was like “well The Livid are gonna fucking rock anyway… plus they’re from Canada
anyway, how would anyone here know of them?”
So the opening band got on stage and (here’s the weird part) 4 of the member were playing cardboard instruments. 3 of them were playing drums on
cardboard boxes, but they were holding them like a marching band does. And then there was a guitarist who had a cardboard guitar that actually
resembled a guitar. Then there was one other band member who wasn’t playing a cardboard instrument; he had some sort of podium box-like thing that he
was slowly pushing down on with his hands. The band was surprisingly quite good, and the other 3 audience members and I enjoyed them quite a bit.
Then right before The Livid was supposed to go on, I saw Justin walking in, and I went over to say hi. He really didn’t look anything like Justin,
actually he looked more like JeffK if he hadn’t shaved in a few weeks, but because this was my dream, I knew it was Justin. So I started talking to
him, and he came off as a real jerk, but just as he walked away to go on stage, I asked him if he’d play an old song for me. He turned around and
smiled, and he was all nice to me then. I asked him if they could do Falling Behind and he said that they couldn’t cuz they needed another guitar. I
had one and he said that he would have let me play it with them, but they didn’t have another amp for me. He said he was sorry, and told me that sadly
they couldn’t do Clear Me either for the same reason. So he said that they’d do Watch it die, and The Neural Is Me for me instead.
With that they went on stage. Now when I say they I mean Justin. For some reason the rest of the band was missing, but that wouldn’t stop him, he was
going to “rock our socks off” regardless. So he started singing, and all of a sudden the rest of the band kicked in after a minute or two. Well we
all heard it, Chris, Rob, and Adam were still nowhere to be seen. At the end of the set, Justin busted the 15 second “I’m Gone” of The Neural Is Me,
and disappeared into thin air.
What a fucking crazy dream.
Some things take more than a lifetime.

How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

well if we have had a crazy dreams thread i dont remember it. it could either be a livid dream thread, or you could move it to unrelated and make it
just a crazy dream thread, whichever you like bart.

moved! renamed!
here's a crazy one i had the other night:
went to tesco (supermarket, not sure if you have it in canada) and it was eerile dingy and quiet. it looked as if the cigarette/booze counter had been
taken away by force too, there was a mark on the floor where it should have been, and some wreckage. there were people in the store but they were
shuffling around like they didn't want to be seen or heard, some of them putting their fingers on their lips and going "shhhh!" to
each other. so i grabbed myself a basket and started shopping. this is when i noticed there was no one on checkouts. someone told me
"shhh!" and so i started sneaking around too. i whispered "what's going on?" to someone nearby and she said "well
everything's free today!" so i thought "oh, that's why the booze counter is gone already" (not sure why it was destroyed
though). so i picked up a couple of tins of beans (that's right). she looks at me angrily and says "you're only allowed one of each
thing!!" so i said ahh shit and put one tin back.
and so i started going around the store grabbing one of a lot of stuff - i was careful not to fill my basket though because i hadn't got to the
frozen chips yet and i really wanted some frozen chips. i got a box each of both golden grahams and cinnamon grahams!
i eventually got to the frozen chips and i had a terrible internal struggle - i got one bag and i really wanted another. i'm not sure if i was
allowed one of each size, or one of each brand or whatever, but i didn't think of that at the time. so i kind of picked up another bag and held
it above the basket, desperately trying to decide whether to get it or not - "no one will notice" i thought "but i'm not
allowed!" that's when some of the other shoppers gave me really dirty, and quite aggressive, looks so i put the chips back and went to
check out.
now the people on checkouts were back so i thought, damn, i can't afford all these grahams and chips. but i noticed that people were having
their stuff beeped but weren't paying, so "nice", i went to the checkout and had my stuff beeped. "that's 11.93
please" he says and i said "but it's all free today!" he gave me a form i had to fill in, and said "it's only free
if you fill in this form". so i did it and got chased out of the store because i didn't want to write my email address on it.

Did you pick up jaffa cakes and marmite, Bart?
Anyway, this isn't "crazy" or anything, but I had a weird dream last night.
I was on vacation at this five-star resort, or so I thought...turns out that I was being secretly filmed as contestant on some type of "Paradise
Hotel" thing. Very weird.
So whatever, there I am, sitting by this lawn chair thing and some hot looking guy says "Let's go take a dip by the pool" so I say
"no thanks...I don't know how to swim" which is a blatant lie, but..it was a dream, so I guess it's okay...and so I'm
sitting there watching him swim around, and he starts to do this weird synchronized swimming thing, and I got kinda freaked out.
So whatever,time goes by, and I can't get my eyes off this pool for some reason, and then I look at one of its corners, and there's Nemo
(from Finding Nemo) ..yelling for help, saying he's drowning.
So I'm wearing some weird baywatch style red swimsuit and jump into the pool, and I try and save the fish..but he's slippery, and keeps
slipping out of my fingers, and the fish starts to cry and yells "YOU BITCH! It's not rocket science" and I start arguing with the
fish, until he kinda falls into this drain thing, and dissapears...and I say to myself "I'm going after him" but then realize how
yucky that would be, and get out of the pool.
As I'm stepping out, people are staring at me, and the "hot guy" says: "That was cool, but, you touched a fish, so I'm
never talking to you again".
Yeah, it was odd.
So I remember going over to the bar and ordering a Pińa Colada, and then the dream ended.
you won't let me down...

I didn't read any of the posts yet, but I'm sure they are entertaining.
I actually don't ever remember my dreams. Ever. After about 1 second after I wake up, I forget what I was dreaming about. The harder I try to
remember, the faster it fades. It's really strange. Perhaps it's a good thing. My friend remembers every single detail of his dreams, and
some of them are really fucked up.
I did have a couple reoccuring dreams when I was a kid that are rather freaky, but I'm sure I've posted them at some point on here before,
so I won't waste my time.

i just don't dream. i fall asleep and i wake up in exactly the same position, without even a glimmer of a memory of dreaming. fall asleep, wake
up. sleep is very unfulfilling for me.

My dreams suck (since they're all things that could very well happen). Here's a couple.
Once I dreamt I checked my bank account on the Net, and saw I had no money, then I went to bed. Suffice to say I woke up thinking I had no bloody
money (fuck you, stupid subconscious).
Another time I fell asleep on the couch when my sister came to visit and dreamt I picked something up and my sister said "Don't touch
that! There's spiders on it!". I freaked, first time I've ever jumped up from a dream, god I hate spiders and I hate my damn
real-life imitating dreams.

One time a few years ago I had a dream I fought Colin Powel. That's strange since he's probably the member of the American cabinet that I
most favour.

i had a very sad dream last night, it must be all this web work i'm doing. that part comes later though.
first of all i was cycling around the glastonbury abbey ruins - http://images.google.com/images?q=glastonbury%20abbey%20ruins - and it was really cool
at first, but i was being such a bastard, cycling up behind people, going past them and then immediately turning into their path to scare them. i
didn't feel bad about this, and i kept on doing it. then i decided it'd be fun to skid while turning a corner and turn the bike so sharp
that i kind of slip off and slide on my belly across the grass for a bit. so i did that and lay down for a while. then i jumped back on this bike and
cycled down some stairs. then i considered trying to do this jump, and it looked easy at first but then i was cautious and looked again, and what i
thought was the other side was simply more water. strange. so i went in the other direction.
at this point my bike disappeared but i didn't think twice about that. so i walked along and found this archway through to an area which looked
familiar. there was a river and a wall going across it, probably with a water wheel or something on the far side to let it through. on the right hand
side of the wall (i was on the left), and on the opposite bank, there was an area which i knew somehow was really really good for meeting new people -
people would walk past there a lot and you could just sit on the handy benches and say hi. but i couldn't get there so i forgot about it. i
wondered what was right next to that but on this side of the wall and so i somehow crossed the river (no idea how) and arrived at a long table with
benches on each side. there was a fridge in the wall! luckily some of my old buddies were already sitting drinking there and said go ahead and grab a
beer so i did, and sat down. there was fru and will and pilchards and a few more i can't remember. fru still had his long hair. then some fine
young ladies joined us at the table (i thought that was brave of them, coming up and joining a table full of rowdy drunks) and i was sat in between
them both.
in dreams these days i always seem to forget the names of new people i meet. maybe that's normal, since they don't exist anyway and
it's something your mind has just made up. so i thought "shit the one on my right is talking to me and i need to remember her name"
so i asked the girl on my left and she ... typed it in a box, and slid it towards me. it suddenly changed into a... font name... and i noticed that it
was the same font as the girl on my left was using but bold. the fonts they were using had really cheesy names too, like "true love gold"
or something. i don't believe i dreamt about fonts. but the interesting thing is that everything above waist height was real, and everything
below waist height was sort of virtual, and you could type things there (without trace of a keyboard) and move them around.
we ran out of beer too, but then fru turned up (he hadn't even left ) with more.
then there was something about a ball game which none of us knew the rules of, but we had to pretend we did know the rules. something similar happened
later...
i don't really remember what happened immediately after the ball game, but after all this the dream changed into a mix between supermarket work
and warehouse work - there were checkouts, but people were just moving cardboard boxes around, sometimes moving them around in shopping trolleys. and
trying to take trolleys up and down stairs! i didn't know what to do so i just kind of walked around the place trying to look as if i knew what
i was doing. there was something about radioactivity too in one of the corridoors (which looked like a doom 3 corridoor), where i kept on tilting up a
particular section of the flooring and checking that a neon light underneath was switched off. and i tried to find my friend nick because i wanted him
to check it as well. while walking around looking like i was doing something important.

When I was younger I had a reoccurring dream that I was being chased through the forest by giant penquins. The forest went from the water to my great
aunt's cottage and I could never make it to the cottage. The forest always got bigger and bigger the more I ran.

I had a dream when I was a kid....My brother and I found this open, huge sewer and we hopped in it. I walked down one way and he the other. I came to
this slide thing, that wasn't very steep, so I slid down. I almost got to the bottom, when I saw the Penguin and the Joker from Batman plotting
to blow up the world.
I surely kicked their ass!...I never found my brother in the sewer's after that though. I wonder who he beat up?
one last show.

This thread is 'Crazy Dreams'. If it was 'Funny Dream', I would've posted a funny dream.
