Well, I put this thread here cause I don't know if this is the correct place for it.

Anyways, last night I had a weird dream.

In my dream, I was back in my hometown, but for some reason, it seemed empty, no people around, no nothing. It was somewhat abandoned, and I could see a few pieces of paper/newspapers scattered around here and there, on the ground. Then I just started to walk, trying to figure out what the hell was going on, when I noticed this small paper on the ground. I picked it up and it looked like this:



So I was like "wtf?" and I just folded the paper and put it in my pocket. Eventually, after walking some more, I reached a cemetary and I went into one of those mausoleum things, and it looked sorta like this:



Then I remember the paper I had in my pocket... so I put my hands on the skulls and I said "Plato" and then the ground started to vibrate and shake.. I thought to myself, "an earthquake?", but then I realized that there was a new opening on one of the walls, and that that opening was somewhat illuminated, then I realized it was like a tunnel, so I went in there, and walked for a while.. and then I noticed stairs that went up (just like when you're coming out of the subway)



So I went up the stairs... and fuck, lol... it was a very busy city, it looked sorta grayish/gloomy (it wasn't my hometown anymore) and there was a very busy population... most of them were demons and other weird creatures, and I did see humans too, but there were way more demons than people. Funny thing is, there was not a lake of fire, or people tortured or crazy stuff, if anything it looked like a normal day (as in, people rushing to work, open restaurants/various businesses, you know), and then I realized that I was in Hell... except that it wasn't like "we're told it is".

And then of course I woke up. I wanted to see more of it!

Thanks for sharing kuma. This seems like as good a place as any for a dreams thread.

Nice insight into the workings of the kuma

That's pretty fucking intense Kumatora!! I'll be back to re-read this later when I've formulated some decent questions for you.

This afternoon's dream was a short, and a bit weird.
I was sent through the mail, a piece of toast. There was a message on it; "Here are the pics, I hope you like me" Anyway, I downloaded about 400 pics from this piece of toast, and there was gorilla's, naked women, and a load of other random crap.



I did sleep with my mobile phone next to my bed and it was switched on...not sure if that had anything to do with it or not

Weird.

EDIT: Can I post this here? I know it's a bit of a rubbish dream

Holy shit! you found the way to this world in your dream... But without the goggles of programming denying the demon identification.

I can tell you for sure that in my town, most creatures are more like demons than people. Haha, in my workplace alone, there besides me maybe five actual people and the rest are lizardemoniacs from 9th circle.

Very interesting dream you had.. And it's interesting with the skull symbols and you had to say "Plato" in order to open the door. Hmm, makes me wonder anbout Plato, if his work contains some secret really eyeopening stuff or something.

Dreams often tell very interesting little things about "real" life.

Can I visit your dream, please?

Very cool dream, Kuma! Hell seems more like a place devoid of character and creativity by the way you described it. For some, that would be a fate worse than the biblical eternal hell-fires. I have to agree with Hex, that the portion involving Plato is interesting. He was allegedly privy to some ancient knowledge. I too wonder if there is something a bit more profound behind this symbolism and Plato's involvement.

I thought that too, about Plato... but meh, wish I had this dream again with "extra time" so I can see wtf was that about!

Ive been dreaming about zombies ever since Ab's zombie apocalypse thread.

lol at Irre's dream - I understand a bit about dream psychology, but I won't embarrass you in public by saying what the dream reveals about you. Nah, just kidding, havent got a clue, but I'd say maybe better not to sleep with a phone by your head.

@ Kumatora - that sounds like theres probably lots of hidden meaning to decode in that dream. Maybe this should become a dream posting thread - then we can find a way to decode them all to see how fucked up we all are

Wow, I love your dream!!!

It reminds me of many of the ones I have had where there are artifacts I find and li'l clues given to me as if I am on a journey of some profound discovery. Something at the end always surprise me then I wake up and left hanging! I truly find that kinda annoying, especially if I cannot recall the details of something written on a document in the dream.

And i hope your dream isn't prophetic because YIKES! Demons strollin' about?!

Orrr ... maybe that is symbolic of people actually walking around with 'demons' or a possession, if ya knows what I mean

I had a very surreal dream last night...

First part of it is kind of blurry, but I remember that I discovered Oioioi was actually a secret internet identity my girlfriend used to spy on me.

The other dream was also quite weird... I was just joined Immortal(norwegian black metal band) to replace Horgh on drums. I was in meeting with Abbath and Demonaz, discussing recordings of a new Immortal album. And then there was Robert Trujillo(bassist of Metallica) working as a studio engineer... And he was going to record and coproduce the Immortal album. Haha, that was quite awesome dream, I would really like to see that happen for real.

I always knew there was something not right about that Oi guy...

The second dream sounds amazing. Waking up from that must have been rough.

Here's a dream that I had in 2006 that's remained fresh in my memory all these years. It was quite profound for me.

I was walking down a rundown street. It was a mix of old/condemned industrial complexes, and old two story Victorian homes. Metal fences line the sides of the street with weeds interwoven and intermingled between the chain links. There's old garbage all over. Some of it had been there so long that it was sun bleached and almost melted to the pavement. The scent of stale decay and rust filled my nose.

I was instantly aware that I was dreaming, which was the first time in a long time. Everything about the street told me to go back, but I felt compelled to continue on. I just had to know what was there. I walked for a while in the heat of the midday sun, watching the heatwaves rise up from the street and entangled roadside weeds. Not one sign of life was present, except for myself and the weeds, not even insects or birds were around. It was eerily quiet. Eventually I started to pass in front of this brown and yellow Victorian house on an overgrown hill. I felt like I knew this house, even though I didn't recall ever seeing it before.

I pushed open the rusty wrought-iron gate and proceeded up the overgrown front walk to the rundown porch. I had a fleeting moment of wanting to turn back, but entered the house anyway. As I entered into the darkness from the light, my nose was filled with the scent of stale death. I wanted turn and leave, but the door closed firmly behind me. I gave a few good tugs on the door, but it did not budge. I stood in place to allow my eyes to adjust to the dim red haziness of the interior as my heart raced. I thought to exit a window. They were how-ever boarded up and covered with dirty plastic sheets.

I stepped forward some into the room to get an idea of where I could go next. My eyes finally adjusted to the dark, revealing old piles of human bones on the floor. The old wooden floor was stained with what I assumed was old blood. The walls themselves had really old and peeling wall paper. I heard a scuffle somewhere in the house, and I really started to get scared at that point. I heard then a really creepy disembodied voice speak. It sounded like several different voices melded into one. It said, "Oh there you are... I think I'll come visit" and laughed.

I froze out of fear for a few seconds and scrambled behind one of the bone piles. Not long after, I noticed the room start to get darker than it was. A dark mass floated into the room and paused in the middle of the room. "I know you're here, and I'll find you too..." It continued on into the next room. I stood up and crept over to the left wall of the house where I noticed a long hallway. I figured it was my best bet to get out. As I went down the hallway, it started to become unnaturally dark. It got so dark that I had to run my hands along the wall to feel my way though. The further along I went, the more disgusting the wall felt. It was soggy and smelled horribly. I could feel insects crawling over my hand as I went along. I eventually reached the end of the hallway to find a large heavy wooden door, similar to the types in castles.

I pulled open the heavy door only to have it creek loudly. I was instantly thinking that I had given my position away and paused to listen for the dark entity coming. After about 30 seconds, there was nothing. I proceeded down a set of old stone winding steps. At the bottom I would reach an old crypt that had been converted into a storage space for old winery items. Vineyard buckets, casks, and other items were lined along the inlets in the wall. Thankfully the basement area had working hanging electric lights. I proceeded along until I reached a corner area with a bricked off door to my left, and a right turn toward a larger room with a bulked. It was my ticket out of there, so I started moving faster.

Unfortunately, I became a little too excited and knocked over a large pile of metallic wine buckets. They made a very loud echoing sound that seemed to reverberate through the whole house. I stopped instantly, holding my breath to listen. A few second passed, and I thought I was in the clear. Just as I went to continue on, I heard that creepy voice as the dark mass emerged from the bricked off door. "I found you!" it said, as it began to materialize. It took the shape of an undead woman with needle-like teeth, and sunken green eyes that glowed. I was frozen with fear at that point. She grinned at me, exposing the needle teeth and said, 'You're mine now!". She began to float toward me with an outreached claw.

I was to the point where I felt like I was pushed to my personal brink. I could feel my physical body sweating. Something happened though. I wasn't about to just give in. I started to glow an indigo color and broke out of the paralysis. The creature stopped floating toward me and looked a little frightened. She tried to go back into the wall, but I didn't let her. I sent my fist sailing at her right eye. When it connected, this disgusting green ooze started spewing out. The creature started to wail loudly, dematerialized back into the dark mass, and went back into the wall. The house shook violently at that instant, and continued to. It started to fall in on itself. The ceiling was caving in, dust was everywhere, and I felt disoriented. I heard yet another disembodied voice, though this one was different than the dark entity's. It was warmer and almost powerful in a sense. It only said one word, "Hurry!" With renewed clarity, I made a dash for the bulked. Just as I got there, the doors flew open. A blinding golden light filled the room. A person's hand was all I could make out. It was reaching for me. Who-ever it was had on white and gold armor. I reached up, and took the hand. I was pulled into the light and woke up in a pool of sweat.

Wow Indigo that was an awesome dream! Thanks for sharing! And even if it was just a dream, I'm glad you made it out of that horrible place!
