First off, I think Greatflash needs a thread or two to talk about nothing in....

Second, feel free to post your own dreams if you want...

I have these dreams that if someone could capture the terror that I feel in them, would make great movies!

Here's a clever one for starters...

I'm a carpenter. I recently finished a project.

In my dream, I went to check on it, and the house wasn't there. The foundation was there, but it hadn't been backfilled yet. One of the concrete guys was there, I'll call him Aaron.

Me: This doesn't make any sense!

Aaron: It does if it's all a dream.

Me: Hey, that's pretty smart!

Aaron: Yes it is... I'm glad I thought of it!

Me: You? I'm the one who's dreaming!

Tonight I was working on an old house that I had bought to fix up.

I was doing a walk-thru with my sister, during the remodeling.

I was explaining to her what I had in mind, and how we could make things better, by adding a door here, and other Ideas I had.

She asked me why I would buy a house that needed so much work.

I explained to her, that at the price I paid, it didn't really matter what shape it was in.

Then I looked outside (through a broken window), and the trees next to the house were burned.

I hadn't noticed the trees, or broken window before...

(I think this is like "The Sixth Sense", where you see what you want to see.)

It is at this point that I realize that the house had been on fire before.

I turned to two people standing there, and say "somebody died in here didn't they"

They nod their heads.

I say "It was me wasn't it"

I start to move towards where I know the body is, but they try to stop me.

Suddenly I'm laying down, and there is a small child next to me.

I reach for the child, and say "Baby"

Finally the child reaches out and says "I'm here, it's OK"

It's my wife.

waking me up.

I call her "baby" all of the time.

Edit: it was 12:34 AM when I woke up. One of my favorite times of the day.

The other one is 12:34 PM

It just seems "organized".

[Stub]

Well I guess as long as we are way the hell off any topic

I dreamed have 4 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was

in line to check out.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no,

I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't

because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50

pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out

of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that

it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply

eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is

nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now

enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.

Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition

because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been

sitting in the street licking my ass and a car hit me.

Haha! Nice!

I had a dream I was getting laid. Then, to my terror, I awoke smiling, and I sadly came to the realization that I'm married. So that will obviously never happen.

After all, the food that sucks the sex drive from women is wedding cake. Of course, we all knew that.

I had a dream last night.. Tho it wasnt as strange. I have a dog named harley.. She's a good dog,. She has a really bad habit of ripping things up she can get a hold of.

So in my dream I was at my dads house having a steak dinner. The dog decided to steal my steak off my plate. I take the steak back from the dog (in my dream the dog belongs to my dad) and he flips out saying how Im going to hurt the dog my taking back my steak and I could have ripped out the dogs teeth etc... Gets all up in my face and we almost go to blows before I wake up...

Me and my dad have a great relationship... I wonder where all this comes from.

I had one of the most thought provoking nightmares last night:

I was still living in Seattle (a good start to any nightmare, haha) and I had moved into another apartment a few months ago. I had my brother, mother, and father over and we were packing up to get going back to Montana because school was over.

As we were packing things up for the long ride home, a horrific realization came to me when I remembered that a lot of my more 'knick-nack' stuff I had kept in a storage shed. I also realized that I hadn't seen any bill from that storage shed in quite a while, and it was likely that I never updated my address with them.

So I checked the storage shed's website (remember, this is a dream so it's bound to be rediculous) and infront of me was everything I had kept in the storage shed, all up for public auction.

What was (more) odd was that as I scowered through everything that was going to be sold, I never cared much for things like the video games, the movies, or the pieces of furnature. It was the scraps of paper, the drawings, the notebooks, etc that I was horrified about losing. Pieces of paper that I once put my innermost thoughts onto were now teetering on the edge of being lost to me forever.

So my brother and I jumped into the car and raced to the storage shed with checkbook in hand. However, we kept driving in circles. The tension was building by the thought that every moment we spent driving nowhere, another piece of ME (not physically, but more on a mental/spiritual level) was disappearing.

I woke up and spent several hours reflecting exactly what around me was truely valuable. If I had to save a handful of things from a fire, would it be that pile of tattered notebooks in my bookshelf that I once doodled and wrote in, but I haven't even opened in ages?

It's raining outside, otherwise I would go for a drive to clear my head.

I do, however, have Captain Morgan and Coke

It's always about the steaks with you isn't it?

I had a nightmare last night.

The GameEx forum got completely out of control, and everyone started posting off topic bullshit since we had this new user named after a black and white vector game join.

I was glad when I woke up it was all a dream...

Or was it..

AAAAHHH!

Do you think an off topic forum is needed? you know just for everyday chattter?

Im ok with how things are for now, I actually like the off topic posts and I think its a good things for us that have been around a while (including me).

I was only kidding above, I think everything is fine, as long as honest help requests from new users dont get hijacked.

If theres demand for a seperate forum Ill create one though. It does seem to be a lot more social lately, which is a nice thing.

Its only a couple of minutes to create one.

I figured youwere kidding... but at the same time.. An OT forum for every day stuff may not be a bad idea...

Tom, Tom, Tom....

Tempest is a COLOR vector game! I changed my personal photo to B&W after Greatflash claimed that Asteroids (a B&W vector game) was a "defining moment" in video game history. On second thought , you probably knew that and are messing with me too. Why does everybody do that? What did I do to deserve it?

I think a seperate forum would be good. I have found it to be annoying myself, when Greatflash goes off on a rant while I'm trying to learn from all of the "true" Ultimate Gameex Guru's!, and others who may not have the title, but are Ultimate Gameex Guru's! in their own right.

First off, I just realized that Tom & Brian have Hi-jacked my thread...Where is HK when I need him!

Back on-topic...if there is such a thing!

There was alot of stuff right before this dream that I can't remember...

I was pouring some concrete...

The next day, I was leaving (maybe I was going on vacation for awhile?), and my friend Ann said that she wished I had gotten all of the work done before I went...

I took her outside, and showed her that I indeed had gotten it done.

Ann said "That looks really nice, can we open it?" (sure why not, this slab is about 4' x 15', and would weigh in real life about 3000lbs)

So we both grab an edge, (its on a hinge) and just as we have it almost open, it crumbles (that does make sense, I just poured it!)

A squirrel comes up and starts eating the concrete, and I look down, and its some kind of food (it looked like gingerbread maybe?)

I tried a piece for myself, it was quite tasty!

The next time Brian, his dad, and his dog have steak, I'm bringing dessert!

You just noticed that? hehehe

As long as you bring some of that tasty concrete I think we got all our bases covered.

Hmm back to thread jacking it is.
