The portrait of the man on that website is just really really creepy. I don't want to go to sleep now ;_;


EDIT:

Neither of these links are actually credible sources, but they're positing that it's a hoax.

I thought it was a hoax because when I saw the picture, I didn't recognize the man. If I don't recognize him that means I've never had a dream with him in it. That and the site didn't look all that professional to begin with.

[Maelstrom]

Lol, never seen that dude, ever.

Well arguably, it doesn't have to look professional to be true. (Does Snopes look "professional"?) And the site clearly said it doesn't mean you have to recognize him, it could just be a problem of people wanting to follow others.

My dream last night turned into a tactical RPG version of Peter Pan. I was on Captain Hook's side and we were fighting tactics-style, trying to take back a ship that Pan had stolen. Every time enough pirates got close enough to the ship, we'd attempt to take it back again and there was a big cutscene each time that involved us failing miserably. The last time we tried to take it before I woke up, the ship ended up falling apart until we were left with some sort of rowboat that slipped over the cliff we were on and landed safely on a road. Hook ran after the ship screaming "Noooooo, my shiiiiiiip!"

Somebody should make that game.

[Kamau]

I think it would be a pretty sweet game to play. :3 But I don't have the patience to learn to code, sooo.

Last night's dream overcomplicated itself, I'd say. The actual dream was boring (it figures, right? I try so hard to fall asleep with fantasy on the brain, and I get a mostly realistic dream). The parts in it that I recall are... Going to a movie by myself, but I got there super early, so I went to a food place right next to it to grab something to eat before the movie. I went inside and made small talk with the cute blonde guy working there, and then some other people ended up showing up (I can't remember if I knew them or not). Then randomly, I discovered that my tooth was loose. It fell out after a while and, like every time I lose teeth in my dreams, it went from one tooth to two, to three, and as always, mixed in with the teeth were small hard pieces of plastic that I kept having to spit out because they kept showing up.

I eventually realized that it was ten after five (the movie started at five), so I said my quick goodbyes and bolted out the door. I made it to the movie a bit late (no clue what I went to watch), and then we fast forward to the middle, where I'm suddenly sitting with people I know, and my friend Meghan is sitting in front of me. We start talking and giggling and not paying attention to the movie (I guess it wasn't that good of a movie, since we didn't get shushed) for a while. Fast forward to the end of the movie, where Meghan's leaving. I talk to her for a moment or two and then spy another girl, Erin. I suddenly recall seeing (earlier in the dream, I guess, though it feels like I might have seen it in real life too) that Erin was off to buy a new cell phone. Now, I had for some reason discovered Erin's phone in my bag (I knew it was hers because it definitely wasn't mine, and when I opened it, in the corner of the phone it said 'Erin').

I excused myself and bolted after Erin, calling out to her. At first she didn't turn around, and then when she did and saw who it was coming towards her, she turned away again and continued walking. I guess I finally shouted her name loud enough (along with a good enough reason) for her to stop. I walked up to her and said I had her cell phone (which I left in my bag for some reason). The scowl on her face was instantly replaced with a smug look for some reason, and she came back into the theatre to get it from me.

Switch to the next part of the dream. I'm driving, currently alone in the car though part of me was telling me that I had dropped people off and gone for a parking spot. I was driving along and not paying attention to my surroundings at all when I look up and see a large crane on the side of the road in front of me (this made me realize that I was in the area they were preparing for the fireworks later that night). Looking in the rear-view mirror, I saw that I had gone through a barricade (though it was open to let the construction people in and out, I guess) and that there was an angry woman by the barricade shouting at me. I yelled 'sorry!' and backed up, out of the restricted area. Then I went and found a parking spot right nearby, and then ran off to find the people I had dropped off.

Enter overcomplicated part, though I guess it helped me remember this much of the dream, so it worked in the end (boring as it is). Apparently, I had only dreamt that I had gone through the barricade (uh, duh), and I found myself explaining to this old guy walking next to me all about what I had dreamt. Then I found the people I had dropped off and explained it all to them (saying that I had already explained it to someone else, but the old guy had disappeared). So I explained my dream, in detail, twice, while still inside the dream (and inside the same setting, without missing a beat).

I believe that dreams hold no secret messages or meanings about ones life, subconcious, or the future. Case in point.

I had this dream just last night. I had built an interdimensional time traveling spaceship, and traveled into an alternate universe where cars and houses are the dominant form of life. They were not any different then they are now, the only difference is that they are alive and eat people when they are awake. My ship was damaged so I couldn't just leave, I needed to fix it when I was finally awarded the opportunity to when the house car creatures were asleep. During this time, I befriended the cast of Home Improvement and we went and stopped a cult of vampires who were living on this planet/dimension. Eventually, with the help of the Tool Man Tayler I was able fix my ship and return to space. Also it turned out it was Centepede all along.

I was in this room, kinda like a secretary's office, with Dixon from Alias sitting on the other side of the desk. Also in the room was another man who was in trouble for something, and though I don't know what, I know it was bad. I had to go to the bathroom, so I was standing up to leave when I glanced down and saw a series of sharp objects on the desk in front of me. Glancing over at the man, I somehow knew that when I came back from the bathroom, he would try to attack me. So I grabbed what looked like a pen and looked the man straight in the eye, shouting something along the lines of "Ha! Not this time!" before walking out of the room. Not the smartest idea, I knew the moment I had left the room.

Cue up me in the bathroom. It was a one-person room, and I somehow knew that rather than waiting this time, the man was going to barge into the bathroom and attack me there instead. Sure enough, a moment later there was a shadow under the door, and the door silently opened inward. I had my pen poised and ready, but I was still nervous about what was going to happen. The man walked in and smirked, like he knew something I didn't, and I jabbed my pen slightly towards him in an attempt to make him back off. I know I said something at the time, but I don't really remember what. The man, in response, said something about my pen along the lines of, "And just what do you think you'll be able to do with that...?" I followed his eyes to my pen, which was somehow now a screwdriver of sorts, and I said, "Stay back! It's sharp!"

I don't really remember what else happened in the bathroom, but I suddenly found myself seated next to the man as the two of us, my two cousins, and another person or two played a game of cards. The man and I knew what had happened, and I was still furious with him, but no one else seemed to think there was any reason for concern, as they were all oblivious. At one point I recall kicking the man in the side, or at least attempting to, but he just continued grinning at me.

We started out in something at least kind of like a house, but suddenly it was more like a boat (though we didn't know it at the time). The scene by this point had changed to me, my cousins, my sister, and my dad exploring the basement of the house. We had just reached the bottom level (there were multiple levels of basement), which no one had ever managed to make it to, apparently, when suddenly the house began to tilt. We all fell over, not expecting it, and grabbed a hold of the nearest object to keep from flying as the house tilted almost all the way over. Then it began to tilt in the opposite direction. This happened a couple of times before we somehow managed to make it back to the main level. I opened a door and looked outside to find that we were on a boat (more like a cruise ship with the size of it) and it had taken off full-speed ahead into the water. This somehow ended up translating to me hanging off the side of the boat, then to me wave-boarding over the heads of people already in the water (and not hitting them), to me wave-boarding and dueting on Jingle Bells with Brittany from the Chippettes at the same time. It was an interesting ending, to say the least.

I half remember a dream I had some months ago. It had to do with aliens infiltrating mankind (mainly the police), and because I knew about it, they turned me into a fugitive and I was running for my life with others from the resistance (who were also teens or young adults).

[rekaru]

A large, muscular bear rampaged around town and began hurting innocent people. I ran after it and wrestled it, then when I felt it was weakened enough, I reached for my pocket to pull out a...pokeball! Suddenly the bear turned into an Ursaring right before the ball absorbed it. Ursaring caught!

[Maelstrom]

I had another one of those dreams where you're body is in sleep paralysis. And as always, it was more of a nightmare than a dream. Just as your body is paralyzed as it sleeps, so too am I in my dreams. There's also always some evil entity about to do something unspeakable/unimaginable to me while I'm in such a helpless state. And I know I'm dreaming but the sleep paralysis also prevents me from actually waking up, and being aware of dreaming doesn't do much to stop the literally paralyzing fear. So to actually wake up, I have to conquer the fear and ease/relax my thoughts and body to end the sleep paralysis and wake up.

Bad times, but this time the entity was engulfing my arms so I used my limited control to stab it by projecting spikes from my arms.

This time the entity was some formless darkness. The time before, it was a little demon (like the one from Soul Eater) that was sitting on a shelf next to my bed. Two of the other times I remember, they were evil ghosts/spirits. One time it was a creepy ass cat (think chesire cat). Another time was a sudden attack by sasquatch, who proceeded to beat me down with a log (xD).


I don't know how it is for you guys, but a lot of the things in my dreams happen because I expect/believe they will. That nearly subconscious calculation of probability and all that, that tends to shape how my dreams end up being, though not always by any means. Thus, I actually tend to have difficulty flying in dreams, or doing something you can only do in dreams if I stop to wonder how I can do that. So it takes a measure of will power and pure belief to continue something, and usually in decreased aptitude compared to if I was less conscious of it.

[rekaru]

Copied straight from my dream journal without any editing whatsoever, so ignore any obvious writing or grammatical errors :3

So it was me, misty, and brock in a triple battle against six brothers that felt like bullying others at the academy. We slaughtered them fairly well, and of course pikachu and I held the spotlight. [One of those brothers is actually recurring character in my dreams. Last time he was an assassin that killed a friend] After all of the festivities and such, I head back inside my room.

It's around 2am-ish..just as I lay me head down on the pillow of my bed, I hear very faint voices. Looking outside of the peephole, I see two of the six brothers looking at my door and planning to kill me, all because I had humiliated them at the academy. Suddenly, I turn into Krillin from Dragonball Z. I decide not to become another casualty to their great fighting skills. I open my door and prepare for combat..but wait? where did they go?!

Suddenly, a dagger flies toward me from the right and sinks into me. The eldest brother drops down from the ceiling and quickly disables me through quick chops to my pressure points. I manage to throw a few punches, but I'm far too fatigued for them to make any difference. I fall.

So there I am on the floor, with the eldest brother now perched atop my bed staring straight down at me. He administers a shot full of a toxic substance straight into my knife wound on my side. "It's too bad. You should have escaped when you had the chance." [At this point I begin to lucid dream. I am seriously determined to kill this bastard character from my dreams] But no..I can't go down this way. I won't let him attack Misty either. I need to settle this right here, right now.

It takes all of the strength in my body to fight off the serum. Surprised that I am still alive, the eldest brother observes me carefully. Then, I feel a rush of energy surging through me.

"Let's rock."

I quickly throw a barrage of punches toward the eldest brother, then send him backwards through the door with a forceful kick. I'm far outnumbered though, as I'm sure the other four brothers are going to arrive. I still do not know where the fifth one hid. I decide to leap out of the window and climb onto the roofs. They're traditional Japanese roofs. I hop across a few roofs before I spot all six brothers leap out of my window.

"He knows our mom prohibits us from climbing roofs. Well he won't escape this easily."

All six climb roofs and catch up to me, and suddenly I'm in a one versus six brawl. My shirt tears in the process.

I quickly raise my arms up and release a regional ki shockwave to send all six back. The youngest brother and the eldest brother get up first. I leap across roofs and the eldest brother chases me down and throws a kick that sends me flying straight into a tank of some sort of liquid, possibly petroleum. I leap onto the nearest roof and power up.

A smirk beams across my face.

"There is no way in hell I am letting you win this match. This is far from over"

I power up once more. "Where is he getting this energy from? What the hell did that serum do?"

I look straight at him. "I'm running off of pure pride right now. It's time to keep my promise."

As the eldest brother charges forward, I shoot a ki blast toward him. Somehow, the petroleum on my hands amplifies the power, and the eldest brother is nearly disabled as he falls toward the ground.

The other five brothers surround me. The youngest feels like escaping, but I won't let him. I fight four of them in hand-to-hand combat, send them backwards with a shockwave, then throw a ki blast to kill the youngest.

I jump off the roof to grab more petroleum..but just as I land, the eldest reappears.

"You know what?! I've just about had enough of you!"

"The feeling is mutual."

I instantly kick him upwards, then fly towards him and place a hand on each part of his chest. "Galick Gun." Sure, it was Vegeta's signature attack, but at this point I needed something more powerful than a basic ki blast. Somehow, his body absorbs it, but because of the amount of ki focused within that single "Galick Gun", his body begins expanding. Realizing that I can make him explode (and in the process cause him extreme discomfort and pain), I focus all of my ki to disable his sensory perceptions, then throw in all of my energy to cause him to explode.

The other four brothers at this point are running away. They've caused far too many deaths to get away this easily though. I use "Flamethrower" to set the house on fire, and then send an amplified "Vascuud Crisis" (Eureka Seven) to kill them.

As I watch them die, I see an afterimage of Goku smiling at me and telling me 'great job, thanks buddy'.

[Maelstrom]

lol, I love it, especially the end. xD

I had a dream somewhat like that one, except I was a ninja and also the world's martial arts champion, so I'd get a lot of people wanting to challenge me. I'll post it later, since that's one of the dreams I wrote down in a binder of awesome dreams I've had. =D

I constructed a cake using parametric equations...yeahh...math tends to permeate my dreams frequently.

[kspr]

im riding my bike, or running, i cant tell but im moving fast, through some woods that ive had a dream about before. the paths are all numbered, and im on path number five. It winds through trees and tall grass, and underneath a hollowed out tree like the ones in the redwood forest. there, a bench stands by a slowly flowing river bank. I wade in, and try to catch a fish, but get back on the path and start moving again. I follow the path to its end, where i look out over a ridge of tall grass, and see a street in a town i used to live in. im standing where there should be an office building, but on my side of the road, it's all tall grass and forest. across the road is a highway, a guitar center, a sushi restaurant, a toy store called zany brany, and a hotel.


then last night- im living in a small, rustic town along a lake. there, i am the only person who has lived before, and therefore know exactly what will happen to everyone there. my neighbor is bart simpson, and the community, which is kind of organized like a trailer park, is supervised by Jim Lahey. As i'm walking towards my house, jim passes me jogging. he's wearing some sort of freddy mercury getup with short shorts and suspenders. as im walking home, bart skateboards up to me saying how he's all mad because they left springfield, and he references his girlfriend laura from an episode in season 3. i tell him not to worry, that there are hotties a few blocks from him, and he skates away. i start to walk away too, going to a town meeting that i for no reason knew about, that was going to take place at this exact house. I get there, and a ton of people i know are already there waiting for the meeting to start. there are some of my neighbors with their old boyfriends, people i know who know each other now, but didnt in the dream, and jaidyn, with her mom and some other random guy. there are huge mattresses on the floor that everyone is sitting on. none of them have sheets, and nothing sexual is happening or implied. i walk in, and taunt a few of them, knowing what their future is, and eventually just sit down among them.

then i wake up. i think this one could have gone on, and im kinda pissed that it didnt since i remember it so well. i think ive also had a dream that took place there once before. i was living in my trailer in virginia, and i was on the middle level of a hill, and there was a town below, and another town above. this must have been in the lower town due to the lake... anybody else get this?

I dreamt about war last night... I don't know why we were fighting the enemy, but we were situated around an old fashioned house. I was towards the front of the house while most of the fighting was going on in the back. My gun was a giant orange and yellow water gun that looked like a rifle, but I know that even when it shot water it still drew blood and killed. I shot a lot of people with that gun... But I know I was terrified that someone would come and shoot me. I was in hiding, practically, even though I was still shooting the enemy. A couple of times, I saw an enemy round the corner and I shot them with shaking hands. Another time, I saw the enemy dragging one of my comrades away. They were inching closer to me, but I was afraid to shoot because I thought I had been forgotten in all the fighting, and if I fired another shot the enemy would know someone else was still alive. But then I saw that the comrade was my Little, Tara. The enemy continued to inch backwards, coming further into my range. My hands continued to shake. The enemy soldier had just started to congratulate themself for what they were doing when they turned around and saw my gun pointed at them. I fired and drew blood, but somehow I ended up shooting Tara. I shot again and killed the enemy soldier, but I saw that Tara had been shot in the chest, and there was blood everywhere. She told me to shoot her again, to end it so she didn't die slowly because there was no way to save her, I somehow knew that. So... I did. I shot her again, and she died.

The scene changed, but we were still fighting. I seemed to be in charge of a small group of soldiers, both male and female, and we were all worried that the enemy would find us inside our little two-story shack that we had found. I had my eye out the window when suddenly, a young boy with a gun came into view. For some reason, none of us fired, and he didn't immediately fire at us despite being the enemy. Instead, it was almost like he...danced into our base? No, that's not right, but he silently walked right past us, headed towards the upper level, moving very gracefully. We all watched him for a while, and as I looked around I saw the worried faces of my comrades, who were all in regular clothing and I almost felt like I was protecting them. The boy started to leave again, and one of my comrades moved to intercept him - even if we weren't shooting him, we wouldn't let him leave to tell the enemy where we were.

We ended up outside the hide out at some point. Now the enemy was among us, but we were being friendly with each other and socializing. Now, I was taking photos of the event, trying to make sure people saw the pleasant bonding that was going on. People of both genders and all ages were there. That went on for a while before I woke up.

[Maelstrom]

I had several dreams, as I ended up going back to sleep after waking up. Anyways, it was about school field trips. But not just any field trip, epic, dangerous field trips, though it also felt like the paths were designed like gameshow. I don't remember the first dream much, but it was the first field trip. Then in the second dream I was going on the third field trip, the second one being a trip I'd not been able to go on. So yeah, I remember jumping across a river on these floating steeping stone things in which alligators were lurking. Then on the other side, I had to wrestle one to keep its jaws closed and protect the others from it as the others made it to the band and continued on ahead. Then, my memory gets fuzzled again and I mostly remember the comraderie and excitement each of those trips bring out in the students able to make them.

Oh yeah, there was another dream where sometimes I was in Spartan armor (halo one, not 300 one) and sometimes in just regular marine greens. At the beggining I was in the middle of a fight and I picked up a big piece of debris (part of a building?) and started killing elites by smashing them with it, one or two hammer blows does it. Then after the fight I see my little bro and mom and I end up getting a cool trible tattoo design on the underside of my forearm below the wrist. Next thing I know I'm in a truck with two marines in the front driving some cargo to my next station when they get snipershots to the head and not wanting to get shot, I let the one that slumped over onto me stay there as a shield while I drove the rest of the way there. Then I woke up.

[Stars]

I had the most vivid dream about my mom dying.
It was horrible, and I woke up crying.
