Gulliver was showing me around the apartment block he owned, and the courtyard in the middle which he had landscaped into a desert reminiscent of Tatooine (though my father got it wrong and said it looked like Kefalonia). Then I was a female zookeeper, and I was carrying a lion on my shoulders to Africa. Then I was watching David Attenborough talk about Tierra del Fuego, on a big projector screen in an old cathedral, with some other witches and wizards, when a troll jumped in through the window and starting trolling us.

It was difficult to keep track of so many different bits and pieces, so that's all I can remember.

I was in an electronics store near my house in an industrial park. They dealt mostly with business customers and therefore could get away with charging high prices and pushing the customers into buying things they didnt need on the rationale that it would be at least easier to use. Two of the employees were mentally retarded and not able to do much, and a third was not disabled at all, but was a friend of the other two and pretended he was also disabled. He walked out of the store in the middle of his shift and the manager said he was getting fired, The other two followed him out so they were not likely to come back either. That was good for me, as it meant I might be able to get a job less than a mile from home. Unfortunately this store does not actually exist.

I dreamed I was playing Super Smash Brothers Melee, or the characters in it were the characters in my dream, and Peach and Donkey Kong were fighting on a spaceship in the middle of outer space. They went down to the open loading dock because they wanted to see if they could throw each other into the abyss and still jump back in. As soon as they left the ship, however, they became 80s action heroes (real people now, not cartoon videogame characters) in leather jackets and sunglasses driving a Knight Rider style car. Since you can't drive in outer space, they were severely screwed. The car didn't have great insulation, so they were freezing to death as their space ship drifted away without them. Eventually they got a message over the intercom saying that the ship had gone too far and couldn't possibly come back to reach them before they died of the cold. Donkey Kong/the male action hero did freeze to death pretty soon, but the dream cut to an Oprah-like talk show wherein Peach/the woman action hero who somehow had been rescued was telling her harrowing story.

I had a dream where I was in some sort of role playing game, and someone was making an outfit for me. They were making it quite quickly, actually, like they had some sort of replicator type thing that was actually making the clothes, though I didn't see how the clothes were actually made. The first part that had gotten done were the plants, which were made out of a denim type material, and they looked like they were made entirely out of patches of all different colors. After I had put them on, the rest of the outfit was ready, which consisted of a belt, and something that seemed to be a dress or robe or something (probably a dress as there wasn't any shirt that I remembered...), and was also quite heavy. Both were made out of the same multicolored material as the pants were, but then I woke up shortly after they were handed to me.

I dreamt of visiting people in some town in Kansas or Nebraska who never ate fruit or vegetables, only fried junk food. I remember being very disgusted with the breakfast they served, which may have been fried cheese. Also their house was very noisy and they never turned off the lights or turned down the TV. And there was something about the people of the town they lived in having to do with Walmart and twittering, such as they were all so stupid or all so co-opted by Walmart consumerism that they perpetually twittered about Walmart and shopped nowhere else. Then I was watching Canadian election news and a lot of seats were won by only a handful of votes (such as 1, 2, or 5). The MPs also represented different parts of the world; for example the Greeks got to vote for a Montréal MP. As I live in Oklahoma, my MP was the one who represented Regina South, who used to be a Liberal but was defeated in the election by an NDPer.

I was in a town situated in a hilly region. There was a house of brick with few windows or adornments. I entered an opening in the earth under the house, and entered the room, which had a dark blue glow to it, but no actual light source. There sat a dead and facially mutilated clown in a metal chair in the center of the small room. There was someone else with me, and when the (now zombie) clown sprung up at me, this other person smashed something in the wall, letting in light, killing the zombie clown.

I had a dream involving Loony Toons, Star Wars, Legos, Lord of the Rings, and awkward family get togethers with Mickey Rourke (?!). Needless to say I wish I could remember more about it.

I'd find it a strange dream more than anything. How does one classify the US as European enough to join the EU?

It’s a dream. It’s not supposed to be logical, or even sensible.

I had a dream, where for whatever reason, the Russians were involved in the US Civil War. I was flying over someone's encampment, (For some reason very slow and also very low) and someone eventually launched rockets at me, though they moved at an even slower pace, and were easy to evade.

You mean like the Soviet Union or the Russian Empire in the 1860s?

My dream wasn't any more specific than just "Russians," so I don't know.

I was having hot gay sex. And then I felt less lonely and more loved, for a while. And then I woke up and realised it wasn't real.

Goddammit i hate dreaming.

I never have sex dreams at all. It actaully embarrasses me a bit to post here because everything I dream is so mundane.

In a mall I was playing an online Metroid tournament on an emulator, with Janko in charge, but I used too many savestates (e.g. cheating by saving right before you get hurt, and then reloading to give yourself another chance) and had to pay a fine. It seemed he was more annoyed I was messing up something on his end than that I was cheating. Everyone was playing this game, even people who stereotypically never play video games. Being able to play the game was seen as a mark of a good person and people were talking about it in everyday life like it was actually important somehow and not just a way to have fun. The boss was simply a larger flashier version of myself, and I "won" by getting her down to below 0 health, but somehow the battle went on.

My Latin teacher from last year decided that we all needed to do some chemical experiments by combining iron, sulphur and radon (!!). The radon was a gas but poured out of its glass like a liquid. We weren't wearing any protection. Then my friend ate some of the iron, which was a bright yellow paste, and started having convulsions. Then we cut to a convention center, where I pulled a lever that said "PCP", and a light came on, and out of hundreds of doors came thousands of hallucinating people from the Bronx in a conga line. They only stopped when my freshman math teacher, who had a buzz cut, yelled at them to shut up. Then Bob Dylan came and did a rap song.

A friend of mine decided to attach a small revolver to his penis, so that his cum would shoot out like a liquid bullet, and kill people. :?

I rarely do, but I had a pretty steamy one last night.

Before that, however, I was trying to raise an infant in a cave up to my neck in salt water. Fortunately the waters did retreat long enough (tide going out?) that they could play in the sand for a bit.
