OK, so you know how dreams tend to switch from story to story, and you usually only remember one or two of them? Well, once, I remembered all of them. It was...interesting.


It all started when I was woken up by my dad, who had come to my house to take me to my eye appointment. This is odd, because my eyes are perfect and I have never seen a doctor about them in my life. My dad explains that this means I am over-due for eye-problems, and I should see a doctor just in case. Unfortunately, I've overslept and now we're late, so I have to get ready fast. I get my clothes and climb out my window to change (naturally) but then I feel a bit creepy because there's small children outside, and they start riding tricycles around me in circles. Anyway, I get my pants on before someone can call protective services, and climb back into my room, where my dad is busy fighting a werewolf with an enormous spear. (That is, he's using an enormous spear to fight a werewolf) We get it locked my bathroom and head out, because apparently we have bigger things to worry about.

Unfortunately, when we arrive, I discover that my eye doctor is Gus from Breaking Bad, and the "doctor's office" is his super lab. Naturally, he has to kill me now. (My dad has disappeared by now, and it appears the whole "eye appointment" plotline has been dropped) So we have a massive ninja duel, and eventually I defeat him and his army of henchmen with my airbending powers. (I forgot to mention, I became Tenzin from Legend of Korra at some point. I have no idea exactly when this happened) With the danger gone, I take my family (that is, Tenzin's family) to the beach, to calm down my frightened children.

This proves unsuccessful, as the beach soon becomes a landing pad for a Cthulhu-like monster, who crash-lands into the ocean from space. This generates a massive wave that pretty much destroys the world, but I protect my family with an air-bending bubble. By the time the water calms down, Cthulhu has arrived at the shore. I get ready to fight him, knowing that I'll probably lose, when Gandalf arrives in a flying shopping cart. We all climb in and he flies us to safety.

Posted a while ago in a different thread but still a good description of my bad dreams.

I have reoccurring bad dreams. Frequently I'm back in high school failing all my courses. Then there's the one with the staircases without railings where I *must* keep moving upwards and the stairs get narrower and narrower to the wall and I end up falling...

The worst reoccurring one is seeing my family killed. Doesn't happen that often anymore but for a bit I would regularly wake up in a sweat.

Here's my dream chat group if you're interested in talking about dreams. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Dreamer-Society]
Usually however I don't have bad nightmares. I can have really good mornings where I remember vivid details but if I work (and I do work 4/7 days a week) I can't get to my user group to describe them as I'm on my way to work.

I love dreams, dreams have inspired me in many ways.
