Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Weird Dreams.... Post

Weird Dreams.... Post your weird dreams here.

Ahem. Here I go. So this morning at approximately 4:43, I had a really cool dream that would make a great novel or something. There was me and 11 friends, 6 girls and 6 boys. Some people's names were changed though, one girl was called Blossom (what the heck?) and one boy was called Collis (like Collin but not). Oh and Blossom's brother in real life wasn't her brother, but two other guys were. And the whole thing pretty much took place at my old elementary school.

So I'm just living my average middle school life, all hunky-dory (don't you love that word?) but there is suddenly this new procedure thingamabob (don't you love that word too?) that occurs at recess. Very routine, you have to stand on this platform for a few minutes with a couple of other people, nothing suspicious at all. You have a turn every few days. Run by the goverment. Starts when you're in fourth grade. Nothing suspicious. But by the time the dream started, somehow our little band of 12 had figured out that the platforms are making kids grow older quicker and at the exact same rate. It also changes their personality. Girls become your steroptypical shopping/puppies/boyfriend loving type, while boys become your sterotypical video gamer/music lover. The sterotypical teenager. But one of us (I'm going to call him Jack, he's Blossom's "brother" along with Collis) figures out that by standing on the edge of the platform, you don't get "washed" (that's what the procedure is called). From there, we figure out that the goverment is injecting hormones into children to make them grow up faster. So of course, we have to go and stop this.

We've all been trying to avoid our "washing" turns but 3 of the guys are kidnapped and have to be "washed", but the effects wear off in a few days. So we figure out that the "washing" isn't permanent so it has to be done over and over, but it builds up a lot. Later, I get caught and and I have to undergo the "washing". This is such a terrible feeling as you can feel your personality changing, but I feel like I'm turning into another one of my friends who doesn't happen to be in this dream, which makes me start laughing. Instantly, the effects vanish. Laughing stops the hormones (don't ask me why). So I end up regularly attending the "washings" but I laugh inside so I'm fine. We've found a personal cure, but now we need to help everyone.

Blossom's  brother in real life says he knows an old neurologist who lives near his house, so we set out to meet the neurologist (why are we looking for him? I don't know.). He tells us that the goverment's plan is to make sure that all children grow and develop at the same rate, so there will be less bullying and fighting (hey, this is just a dream.).  He has created a solution that will stop abnormal hormone growth. I, being the most spylike, sneak into the underground chamber under the platforms and switch out the hormone solutions. Then we head back the old neurologist's house and he tells us something disturbung: laughing during the washing not only stops the artificial hormones, but hormones you have in your body. Less than 20 times will stunt your growth, but more than 20 times will stop you growing and developing all together. The others have been "washed" 6 times, so their growth will be stunted a little, but I've been "washed" 23 times. And because I've laughed during each of them, I will stop growing. But we are not going to lose hope! We end up blowing up a bunch of factories that produce the artificial hormone, and destroy the blueprints. Every one on Earth has had their memories erased about the "washing" except for us. At the end, I'm reflecting how in the past year we've all grown up so much (while some really reflective studio Ghibli style music plays in the background). And I know that I am growing too. Not physically, but mentally I have grown much and can continue to grow.

O.o Wow. Your dreams are a lot more coherent than mine.

Spammy says "find"! Maybe he means I have to try to find meaning in my dreams. Or not.

That dream was a particularly long one... 2 hours... I actually cut out a good portion of the dream because it wasn't completely essential to the plot.

How do you know how long it was?

Spammy says "awkz", and I feel the need to celebrate a milestone. I have submitted enough posts to the chatterbox that I actually managed to get the same random captcha combination twice.

Because I fell asleep around 4:43 and woke up at 6:45.

Wow, that is a really awesome dream. Can I steal that and write a story? :D

 

I usually don't remember my dreams very well, but I know I had one once about some missing prince, and a crown, and a maze of purple and red rooms, and I was a detective or something. Too bad I can't remember how I solved the mystery. :( Then there was the one where I went the the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my friend. THAT was really weird. It kept changing, going from an aquarium to an indoor tornado room thingy to a sushi restaraunt to a long flight of stairs to a room where two old people were having tea. The Geico lizard showed up too, at some point...

But I think the best dream I've had recently was when I dreamed that I was Elyana from the dragon RP in Inkwell. I even got to ride Xell. SO AWESOME.

 

Spamdragon says "eeoo". Eeeeeeeooooooooo!

All my dreams are copywrited, trademarked, regestired, etc. so please don't make a story on that.

Last night's dream: I could use magic and I was part of this special socioty designed to save the Earth. So we had to keep a couple of lions in our house, which was really my aunt's house. And I had to explain it all to my mother, and she got really mad because I stayed up after my bedtime, so I had to sleep in the basement (we don't even have a basement).

I think I also had another dream that had Ender's Game in it. It was like the game at the battle school, but with the people from Pokemon Conquest (random!). And I think Red was in it, too....

Playing the Battle School game. If that wasn't obvious..... I think we were on the same team because I wasn't trying to freeze you. And I think our commander was Mitsunari becaue our commander had a really awesome headdress and Mitsunari has a really awesome headdress.

My last dream was that I was at fencing camp and it was at the end and I happened to give my number to this really cool guy I had crushed on. He apparently thought I would be back in about a month (for the year class) but then I said I was moving or something. So for that last day, we were boyfriend/girlfriend and all, even though after he gave a love poem and we talked for a while, he started ignoring me. Typical.

During some break, I went for a jog in the big field behind the building (it was a cemetery in real life, but in the dream, it was just a field). But then, halfway through, it turned into a bog with this massive and poisonous water snake. I was starting to run away, but I couldn't and I started crying out the guy's name for help (damsel-in-distress--I should hate myself). But he didn't come. I did get bit on the leg and lay delirious in this clear water pool for a while but then someone came to save me (I didn't recognize him) and then I came back to the camp and everyone was there, looking at me. Then I just leapt up and started crying hysterically on the shoulder of the guy I liked.

Then I woke up.

I kind of wish I had just slapped him for not saving me. But I would have first slapped myself for not saving myself. It was a total romance novel dream, but in a way, I wish it was real life. Even with the snake!

I would post my latest dream, but it was really boring.  Most of my dreams freak me out, and barely any of them are pleasant.  But I will post them anyways... *sigh*

I dreamed about my grandfather the other night.  He's been dead for twenty-four years.  It was the oddest thing.  He was sitting in a lawn chair on our patio reading the newspaper like it was the most normal thing in the world.  I walked right past him without saying a word.  I didn't see his face.

My grandmother (still living) was in the kitchen at the sink, fixing something.  She also said nothing.  The house was really quiet, and so I went upstairs and saw my mom getting dressed.  She looked like she'd been crying, and when I tried to tell her that her dad was apparently alive (and this is the father that she still misses and gets really sad when we talk about him) she wouldn't listen.

My uncle was there.  He was the only one that actually talked.  He cried "Dad-" and that's all I remember.

I dream of death a lot, and darkness, and other things which I won't put here.

My most terrible dream was that I was shot in the back on some secret fantasy spy mission. Very, very, very scary.

And, as Sakura says, everything I post here is copyrighted by me, so no one get any funny ideas about stealing my stories and plot ideas. Thank you.

Once I had a dream where I was part of this game where spies had to break into certain people's houses and place tracking devices. And it was a city wide game (probably in Japan, judging by the fact that everyone spoke Japanese). And I was a spy. And I won. So funnnnnn.

I had a dream last night that I met some of you guys... We got together at this park and sat down at a table.

We were discussing a problem that had come up, which was, we had written an RR on the Chatterbox, and some person had written us a letter and threatened to plagiarize it if we didn't meet their set of demands. We all disagreed about what to do. It was very strange.

Last night, my dream was based on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but it had an evil overlord thrown in. I viewed it all from the PoV of this awesome guy called Coran and in the end, I ended up having an Epic Duel with the Evil Overlord. Then the Evil Overlord took off his mask, and he was some teenage girl! And don't ask how, but I knew that it was Alexandra from the Chatterbox. Then everyone else came down from the sky with cloaks flapping and also turned out to be Chatterboxers -- I remember that Barbossa was TNÖ -- and then Gigi (again, don't ask how I knew who was who) was like, "That was such a fun RP! Too bad it's over!" And then everyone was muttering in agreement, and I was still in the form of Coran, then some unnamed Chatterboxer went for me with a sword. And I woke up.

Don't ask. Please.
