I had a real amazing dream just now. Waking up now before I get ready for work, but I have to type up this dream while it's still fresh in mind. This one began in some medieval village. And I mean, it was 100% medieval-fantasy. It was as if I were back in the 1500s. So I was dressed in this white blouse and colorful skirt. I had blonde hair, with tresses and I looked just like someone you'd see in Game of Thrones. There was no doubt this was real. I left the village, and the idea was that I was going on some sort of quest. Through some woods. And I mean, these woods were spooky! I don't remember what my quest was, what I was supposed to be doing, but within minutes, it didn't matter anymore because I got attacked by this huge humanoid-looking thing. An ogre or giant! I had been sneaking around (just like we do in our games) but whatever that thing was, it saw me, and reacted! I mean, this was frightening, all the sudden. The area I was walking on was a path, through dark forest. Lots of trees. On my right was a hill which went upward, and that's the way I went. I went running up this hill. That ogre or giant came crashing from behind me. But I was too quick, or something. Eventually it got lost. At the top of the hill, the land leveled off, and the woods ended. I could see across a road, but it was a modern road. One which cars drive on. I walked across this road, and found a street, which was a modern street. It had modern houses with aluminum siding and manicured lawns. Cars. Sprinklers. The sky above was grey and cold. I went walking and found some sort of coffee bar. And just stood there, looking at all the people in there who were living ordinary lives. Who hadn't just been chased by some giant DnD-styled monster. I had to calm down. Eventually, I did try to order some coffee. I was shaken badly though. I forget what happened next, but eventually my dad and I met up somehow. And he was going to some sort of get-together for family. So I decide "sure, I'll go," and off we went in his car. This party was at a largish house, and wasn't too far away from where the rest of my dream occurred, but we were still on the modern side of things. The house had a long driveway; people were gathering. I went walking around the party. And immediately I was bored. I walked into and out of the house. Saw nobody I knew. I just wanted to go home. There was a lot of people there though. It took me awhile to get out of the house, and find my way back to the house's driveway. I went looking for my father's car. Not there anymore. I couldn't find him. He had left? I realized my own car was down the hill, back in that medieval village. In the beginning of the dream, there was no cars or modern things, okay? Now all the sudden I realized I had driven there initially. I decided to leave the party. I would brave the woods again. I could do it. Left the house, and walked back across the road, which was apparently the same road as where I'd crossed before. Straight across though, there was a tavern. I walked into this tavern, and (again) everyone was dressed in medieval finery. The place was dark and completely made of wood, iron fittings everywhere, sawdust on the floor. I walk in there, and decide I'd better prepare before I go back in the woods. There was a man nearby who was making a crossbow, and so I began chatting with him, and he agreed that he could give (or sell) the crossbow he was making to me. He had applied some sort of lube into its workings, the thing was totally functional. I was scared, but I was going to do this. The last part of the dream, I began asking the man if I could also have some bolts. Did he have any bolts he could sell me? And he looked at me in horror. He didn't say anything, but he looked at me like no, you aren't supposed to be able to use this thing! What are you, crazy? I got the sense that he was NOT supposed to hand out crossbow bolts. Oftentimes at Renfests, they do sell weapons, but people buy these weapons so they can hang them from their walls. They don't actually use these weapons. Meanwhile, I as planning to use this one, if I had to. I began running through several things in my mind, and came to a quick conclusion. Yes, the woods beyond the road were supposed to be some sort of medieval area, just like when we go to Renfests. But none of these guys knew that they had some real, live monsters running around their woods, which required weapons and preparation! This post has been edited by Renee: Sep 28 2017, 01:04 PM

Yeah that one was very different, with going back from modern to medieval. I had another one recently. Had nothing to do with gaming, but it's so bizarre ... This first part is not the dream. My daughter's become fascinated with undersea life, and we've been watching a few nature programs on YouTube about deep-sea animals, the ones that bioluminate. So the dream I had was really short, matter of fact it was only about 20 seconds long. I was underwater, that was all. I was in that part of the world where sunlight doesn't penetrate so it was completely dark. . And right before me was a bell-like sea creature, sort of like the one at the top in this pic. It was moving around, and all lit up. I got really frightened. Because we're all used to standing on flat land, yet the surface of the ocean was way below me! I got the sense that I was just floating in the middle of space. Not only that, but I could feel the crushing pressure of being deep underwater! IT is amazing what the subconscious mind can fabricate, and the fact that I could feel those tons of water crushing all around me was the final touch which was really freaky. That is all. Like I said, it only lasted a few seconds! I was glad to just wake up. This post has been edited by Renee: Oct 26 2017, 01:28 PM

Yea so I had one last night. Let's see. Mostly, this dream took place in two rooms. One of them was large, roughly the size of a school gymnasium (and as tall as one too). The other room was smaller, and set higher above the first room. If you can imagine, the smaller room had windows all the way across its width, with doors leading into the larger room. It looked down into the larger room. I started off in this smaller room. I believe I was talking to some people in there. I don't remember what I was saying though. I walked into the larger room, which sloped downward, and was full of greenery: trees, shrubs, pathways. It was a gym-sized terrarium, basically. This part gets really odd. As I'm walking in there, I begin describing to somebody (don't know who) how my gaming schedule works year-round, particularly how in summer / fall I tend to play Fallout more often, but only if it's sunny outside. I'm walking around this giant room, moving through all these plants telling somebody about Fallout. Weird. Gets weirder though. After moving through the larger room for awhile, I went back up into the smaller one. In this room were just typical room things: tables, chairs, etc. I believe it was also some sort of control room, with a circuit board of some sort, like we'd see in Fallout games. As I'm moving through this room, a LARGE green-skinned woman wearing funny-looking clothes (maybe even armor) begins following me. She looked just like Mazoga! In the dream though, she was not identified. This Mazoga-looking orc suddenly has a large rope in her hand. A lasso, basically. She begins twirling this lasso around, and casts it around me! I'm like: what the heck? She lassos me in with her rope, and begins trying to give me this huge bear hug and I was like NOOOO!!!!! This post has been edited by Renee: Nov 28 2017, 01:57 PM

Ha ha I forgot about the wonder orc. It's a good thing I type this stuff down nowadays. So I wake up this morning and figured I'd play some Fallout 3 today. It's just an easier game to get into. Anyway, had some cereal then went back to sleep. This time I had a New Vegas dream. I guess I was supposed to be Linda Hand in this dream, or maybe I was simply myself. Anyway, I was traveling with a group of others in an old van. There were three others in my group, and one boy. I had just acquired the van somehow. We left the Vegas area, and were somewhere out in the desert. I pulled into a service station which was surprisingly busy, but mostly with people just moseying around, I was the only person apparently who'd driven a vehicle in, meaning that all these others probably just lived here. The service station was not something modern, with fluorescent or neon lights, in fact it was quite messy. Stuff was lying all over the ground: trash, car parts, etc. There were dozens of hand-drawn signs tacked up all over the shop (which was mostly outdoor) listing prices in horrible handwriting. I get out the van and walk toward the place's booth. A skinny greasy-looking blond guy gets out, and I ask "Hey, how much for a full tank? I think it's 20 gallons," and the guy sneered "we ain't got no gas here, lady." So that took care of that. I figured we'd syphon some gas if we had to. There were still cars all over the place, never mind that any gas in them would be 200 years old. Later on, we'd pulled the van over, and it was getting to be late afternoon. I'd pulled over because we found one of those Rock-o-La machines (whatever they're called) and I figured we'd try to get the entire thing into the back of the van. Now we've got some tunes as we travel! But this proved to be too much work. So all of decided to take a nap. From this moment, the "camera" separated into a cutscene. It moved around, and showed all of us sleeping in a heap, like a bunch of rodents. But the boy had left us, to go out playing or whatever. Well, this guy wearing all dusty dark clothes had somehow managed to follow us all the way from the service station, on foot. He'd found where we'd stopped, and now was after my van. He snuck up behind the child, crawling in the sand, and with one motion slit the poor kid's throat. Then the camera showed him moving toward our van. He was approaching from the front (we were all crashed in the back, with its doors open). But before he could get to us, an old man got off his porch and shot the guy with a shotgun. *BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!* he was a lousy shot, lol. Anyway, when we'd pulled up, this man, and the ranch-style house he lived in, were not there. Now they were. Because the child died though, the game ended before anything else happened. And then it asked me if I'd like to reload a previous save? And I breathed a sigh of relief, because I knew the last time I saved was way back at that gas station.

Y’all believe dreams are glimpses into the future? That they can be prophetic?

I've had two dreams which turned out to be prophetic. First one was when I was in college! I worked in the college dining hall (in real-life) serving food mostly, and I had a dream in which I got fired. I scoffed this dream, blew it off. Yet later on that same day, I did in fact get fired, and the circumstances of my firing were not anything i could have predicted. The other prophetic dream happened within the last decade. I can't remember it now, but I typed it up surely. It's in my files. My hair is technically white (greyish, actually) SR, but I dye it nowadays. And I had a Fallout dream myself yesterday morning. It was short. I was with three others, all of us were sneaking into some sort of compound. We were in an open room, nice and bright, more Anchorage-like than CW-like. Anyway, we moved into a tighter corridor area, and I motioned my crew to stay put. I felt very proud as I snuck into this corridor, and got a glimpse into the next room. In the next room was a HUGE robot, which was square in shape and had all sorts of attachments: like arms and vacuum hoses and silly looking eyes. I aimed my gun, which was some sort of assault rifle. Fired. Nothing happened! But the bot was now alerted. My crew moved in and began taking care of the bot... there was no other choice now. Meanwhile, I moved back into that initial room, and quickly took my gun apart. I realized it was made mostly of plastic, like something I could have bought at Toys 'R' Us. I put it back together again, and fired at a nearby wall. It shot a small, harmless pellet, nothing to fear, from any enemy's point of view. This post has been edited by Renee: Feb 11 2019, 02:12 PM
