Dream from 2019 (Part 1)

These are my dreams from the first half of 2019. Whether it was due to stress from work or awkward sleep schedules, the frequency and strangeness of my dreams increased over the year.

March 2019

March 12

My dream involved a microbe that swore revenge upon me and then kept trying to evolve into something more dangerous so it could kill me. I managed to kill it by burning it in a fire.

It’s likely the dream was inspired by the game Spore.

June 2019

June 17

A short disjointed dream where I fought Thanos in Super Mario Odyssey. I didn’t actually fight Thanos much in the dream, and just fled from him using the ability to warp between checkpoints. The other part of the dream told me Wooloo from Pokémon Sword & Shield supposedly originate in Russia.

June 20

This was a really active night as I had three separate dreams.

The first dream involved me being in school with a Twitter friend. When school ended, Mom and Dad came to pick me up, but then the dream suddenly transformed into a bike ride though the forests of India and South East Asia.

The path I apparently travelled in the dream, entirely on a bike

The second dream was historical and was set in Europe, probably inspired by the Civilization games. Europe was divided into three factions, and Germany and Russia teamed up to conquer Italy. Then suddenly Genghis Khan showed up and ravaged the country.

The third dream was a short one. In it my dad was showing a cassette player (remember cassettes?) running on MacOS.

June 24

A short dream where Banjo & Kazooie where in a platformer in the style of the New Super Mario Bros series. It was an underground level, and they were running on gears.

June 26

This is one of my favourite dreams, and something that might potentially work as the setting of a video game itself.

The dream began with an ad for a new Apple fast charger, narrated by a robot voiced by Siri (something entirely plausible).

The dream then changes tone into a robot zombie invasion, and the I had to fight them off using guns named and modelled after graphics cards. The gun I had was the GTX 1050, the graphics card in my laptop that I had at the time, while there were enemy drones equipped with RTX 2060 guns.

The dream curiously ended with me waking up and posting to Twitter about it, within the dream.

This wraps my dreams from the first half of 2019. It only gets crazier from here on out. I’ll be posting the Part 2 very soon. See you all then.

Dreams from 2018

Note: These dreams are nearly two years old at the time of writing, so I don’t have any information about them besides the posts I made on Discord and the tweets. I’ll be linking the source alongside the dreams.

August 2018

August 15

My dream on August 15, 2018 is the oldest dream I can find online.

The dream was a mishmash of a few things – a doujin I had read recently from a popular Japanese artist who goes by the name “kirome”, and, crossplay had been announced between the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions of Minecraft.

The dream had a large breasted woman who looked like kirome’s original character but one breast was an Xbox One and the other breast was a Nintendo Switch.

(About the “Drs.” in the name, I was experimenting with my gender identity at the time.)

September 2018

September 13

I dreamt that there was a kitten at the window which refused to enter the room as it did not want to disturb my roommate who was studying, so I took it somewhere else.

(This dream is strange in hindsight as I took in a stray kitten in 2019 so it feels like seeing the future.)

October 2018

October 4

In this dream, I had carried a bottle of beer to school, but I lied about it and said I was drinking… oil to save myself.

October 18

A lot of my vivid dreams seem to occur due to my awkward sleep schedule, and this is one of those cases.

I dreamt I was in New Donk City (from Super Mario Odyssey) as myself and was hosted by… another me who already lived in New Donk City. Also ate at a Ramen shop run by a Bengali speaking Japanese family for some reason.

Despite being two years old as of writing this, I actually still can remember how that dream looked like, albeit barely.

December 2018

December 6

This is arguably the most vivid dream I had up to this point, especially because I remembered most of when I woke up.

I had a very weird dream where I was in Istanbul and in some kind of Grand Theft Auto situation, but Turkish. Someone in the dream was running away from her family (because she wanted to transition but her family won’t let her) but was kidnapped and brought back. I was a witness to her kidnapping.

Later I found myself stranded in Istanbul without money to go to India so I was planning to scam someone. But the dream ended before I could do that.

As a minor detail, there was a Ganesha temple in a back alley of Istanbul.

December 14

A rather nondescript dream where I was a Hindu, a Muslim, and a Christian, all at the same time.

So that’s all the dreams from the year 2018 collected in one blog post. Tomorrow, I’ll add my dreams from the first half of 2019. See you all then.

Dream Journal

So it has been quite a while since I last used this blog. A lot has happened in my life since, but that’s a story for another day. I figured I should revive this blog from its sleep and reuse it to record my dreams, like a dream journal of sorts.

Since my dreams are rarely long enough to merit an entire post for each dream, I’ll normally collect the dreams over a month and make one post about them.

That said, me posting about games and anime isn’t really out of the realm. Writing is still a something that I enjoy.

See you all around.
