Geekhack Dream Log

[YoungMichael88]

Anyone had any weird dreams lately?

[YoungMichael88]

I had a weird one last night. I was taking care of a one year old and he kept turning into a water balloon and exploding. Then he would come back again from the bag of balloons as a human baby again. The same human baby. He exploded 2 or three times in total. I brought him to a water park

I HAD A DREAM THAT MACS WERE GOOD. (WHICH THEY OF COURSE ARE NOT)

[demik]

i had a dream that i was driving on the freeway and my car magically said **** you to gravity and started to float. and then gravity said **** you back and it came down hard making me lose control and crash into the divider which made me fly across lanes and kill one person.

this guy:

dream or reality?

[noisyturtle]

A few weeks ago I had a really vivid dream in which Edward Norton was trying to murder me, and was chasing me around this house that was built of wires and rotting wood with a hand axe. I kept running upwards to try and get away, but on each floor of the house there were more and more dead bodies until it got so bad that I was having trouble walking through them. I don't remember much else about it, nor how it ended. In the beginning of the dream we were friends though, not sure what happened in between.

I had a dream this morning that I found a bunch of Cherry G80 keyboards in a thrift store that I had not visited for a long time...

Windows is the reality of modern computing.

[nubbinator]

I just have dreams about my teeth falling out of my mouth.

YOUR TEETH WOULDN'T FALL OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IF YOU USED WINDOWS 98.

[YoungMichael88]

I just have dreams about my teeth falling out of my mouth.

I get those dreams ALL the time. My brother does too. In fact just last night I dreamt one of my teeth was loose. Didn't fall out but still very concerning. Other times my teeth shatter into thousands of shards. The thought of it now makes me cringe.

[hashbaz]

I have a dream once or twice a year where I'm falling from an incredible height in slow motion.  As I near the ground I think "Hey I'm not going so fast, I'm gonna survive this!"

Then I hit the ground and feel my bones shattering, in slow motion.  Thanks a lot, brain.

[hashbaz]

Also, the one where it's the end of the term and I realize with insane panic that I've totally spaced an entire class and will fail that class, and life.

I still get that one pretty frequently.

I HAD A DREAM THAT MACS WERE GOOD. (WHICH THEY OF COURSE ARE NOT)

Don't know what your experience with Macs has been, but my Mac Pro runs Windows (7/64) far better than any PC I've ever owned. Not a single blue-screen crash in the 1-3/4 years that I've owned it. By now I would have expected dozens of crashes on a PC. This is based on over 20 years of PC use. The Mac has been remarkably stable, although I hate its email app which is often very sluggish. On the other hand this may have more to do with Yahoo's imap server which some have said is itself sluggish.

Its possible that MSW is more troll than TP4. He is trying to get this exact response out of you and other Mac users. Myself included. Just don't buy into it.

I get crazy lucid dreams every night....... I have journals of them all the time. I guess I'll share interesting ones. I've had dreams of you guys,

For example today I thought I PM'd iArson about his LZ-F since I was on my phone half asleep reading GH... turns out I didn't PM him irl, but in my dream.

[YoungMichael88]

I've dreamt of Clacks once....it was during the Octoberfest EK sale. I dreamt that I was in a room full of people (I'm guessing all of GH since at the time I didn't know what any of you looked like) in this room there was a draw going on. A live Clack lottery. I WON!! It was a blank candy corn! Except these clacks were the size of the palm of my hand! It was crazy! I then woke up to find out that in reality I had won nothing from that crazy EK lottery.

[Jack]

My favorite is still the one where I found a pristine industrial grey SSK at a thrift shop. There are others but they're all chaotic and inane and I can't remember all the good stuff.

[iri]

i have a ton of weird colorful dreams every night. in the one i saw last the least weird thing was skyscraper rocket.

Also, the one where it's the end of the term and I realize with insane panic that I've totally spaced an entire class and will fail that class, and life.

I still get that one pretty frequently.

these dreams are so international that antiglobalists can riot against them.

[noisyturtle]

I don't like dreaming. For the past decade or so all the dreams I remember are either frightening or very violent and not fun to remember. Not sure what that means, because I'm a peaceful person when awake.

[Tarzan]

I had an odd dream about two weeks ago, still sticks with me.  Actually motivated me to download some screenplay writing package, see if I can put down the details and make it a little more coherent.

Did you have to work to get lucid dreams, or do you just get them naturally? I used to keep a dream log when I was into lucid dreaming, but all my dreams were really dull so I lost interest and stopped and I can't have lucid dreams anymore.

[iri]

more than a half of my dreams are naturally lucid.

[Sifo]

natural

also to further elaborate on the dream i mentioned it was really confusing cuz I knew I PM'd him in the dream while I was dreaming but then when I woke up I thought it wasn't a dream cuz I forgot.

[Dubsgalore]

The only Geekhack dream i've ever had that i can remember was once over the summer, i dreamed i woke up, ran downstairs and outside, to discover a package in my mailbox. got back inside, jumped on my bed and tore it open, and it contained 30 julysicles in a custom bag addressed to me. I got really happy, and then a lot more happened in the dream, but i can't remember the details..

ask photekq, i told him when i woke up lol

[Photekq]

it's true

[Findecanor]

I dreamt this morning that a Dutch kid's TV-show from the early 80's called "Professor Hump's erotic contrangle" had won an award for having the weirdest name for a TV-show.

[YoungMichael88]

Am I the only one who enjoys horror dreams as long as they don't involve the death of family/friends? I find them exciting!!

[Tym]

I don't like dreaming, they're generally not too pleasant for me...

[YoungMichael88]

I've had MANY zombie dreams, murderer dreams, dreams where I'm lost etc. and even tho they are frightening at the time, I wake up and think "wow that was totally awesome!!"

[YoungMichael88]

Last night I dreamt I was in this building with lots of hallways and there was a trail of purple and green toxic dip caps. I literally filled my pockets with them and I was wearing cargo pants!

[JPG]

Last night, in my dream, I went to a GH meetup and I tried Mx Clear switches (never tried in real life) and I loved em and was convinced they would be perfect with a softer spring and lube!

That would be ergo-clear I believe. Right?

i had a dream that i was driving on the freeway and my car magically said **** you to gravity and started to float. and then gravity said **** you back and it came down hard making me lose control and crash into the divider which made me fly across lanes and kill one person.

this guy:

It is actually a White Mandingos show. I have seen Murs many times over the last 12 years or so, so this new group thing should be interesting.

[Phedran]

I spent most of my dreams dying, running away, or flying. Latest dream the world fell off it's axis.

[YoungMichael88]

Last night dream is unclear but it had something to do with holding a log cabin from an attacking group. I had a gun that's all I know.

or panda clears, when spring actuation force is equal to that of mx black springs.

[Findecanor]

This morning I dreamt that I was rebuilding a full-size wood keyboard case for a tenkeyless.

[YoungMichael88]

Last night I dreamt that an alien race came to earth and we played a round of driveway soccer to determine the fate of out planet. We won and then we proceeded to sit with the aliens who were very human like and ask each other question after question about our cultures, planets and behaviors etc. it was probably one of the greatest dreams I have ever had!

[rowdy]

YM suggested I post here, as I have now dreamed about keyboards or keycaps 4 nights in a row.

Can't remember last night's, but I think it had something to do with finding out that those Candycorn CC space bars are real!

I was very disappointed when I awoke from my slumber.

[Sai]

well, i had a dream where i was having lunch together with the late dictator of my country.  )

I HAD A DREAM THAT MACS WERE GOOD. (WHICH THEY OF COURSE ARE NOT)

Don't know what your experience with Macs has been, but my Mac Pro runs Windows (7/64) far better than any PC I've ever owned. Not a single blue-screen crash in the 1-3/4 years that I've owned it. By now I would have expected dozens of crashes on a PC. This is based on over 20 years of PC use. The Mac has been remarkably stable, although I hate its email app which is often very sluggish. On the other hand this may have more to do with Yahoo's imap server which some have said is itself sluggish.

Blue screens are usually caused by crappy hardware or drivers.  If you buy good quality parts for your PC you won't have that issue.  Macs have good hardware from solid vendors, so you can't compare it to a PC running cheap motherboards, RAM, add in cards, etc.  If you buy only top shelf hardware for a PC, it will cost a lot more, but is still less than a Mac for the same quality hardware, and is just as stable if not even more.

On topic, the only dreams I usually remember are nightmares, and are too dark to discuss for most people.

If they were too dark you would not be able to see very much

[quickcrx702]

I grew up in pretty crappy areas, and have seen people get murdered in broad daylight starting from around age 5.  My dreams have a lot of murder themes.  I could only imagine what war veterans have to deal with in their dreams.

And I thought the areas I lived in were a bit rough.

Hope you're coping ok with it!

No keyboard dream last night, but I woke with a vague impress that I had dreamed about having a dream about keyboards.

[dustinhxc]

Michael, your dreams are intense!

[YoungMichael88]

Michael, your dreams are intense!

Yea, I really should write them in here more often before I end up forgetting them. I just read back through some of my logs here and they are pretty good memories.

[paicrai]

I had a nightmare eight years ago I've still never forgotten. It involved me walking down the road towards the kiosk thing where they sell candy and magazines and ****, but everything was abandoned and it was foggy with a slight metallic sound echoing throughout the area. When I reached the kiosk, I noticed a basement behind it that had not been there before, so I went down it. So then I decided to go down the stairs to see a small area caged in with rusty chain link fences, and fleshy rotten things pinned to the wall and staring at me, and when I tried to run out my feet got ruined or something, that part is unclear, and I got pulled back into a dark area and sat there until I woke up.

  I got this nightmare one day after I saw my brother play the Ravenholm level in Half Life 2

I almost never dream or remember my dreams, but last night I had a really vivid one:
Last night I dreamt I was swimming at a quarry surrounded by dense woods. The thick lush green trees closing around a pool of aquamarine water, rocks dotting the edge, and a deep black hole in the middle of the water. Seemingly I was with friends/acquaintances because I kept making communication noises back and forth with them like a herd of caribou, and every now and then someone would laugh and they would all start laughing in unison. The faces were blurred, or should I say swirled as if someone stuck a Kitchen Aid mixer into it and twisted the eyes and nose, leaving only wide grinning mouths.
The dream was actually quite pleasant in the beginning, sunny with bright colors, good feeling of having fun with close friends and being carefree. At some point I'd decided to swim into the deep part of the water, straight down into the black hole. Looking back up to the surface I could see all the faceless beings standing around the lip of the hole as it extended away. I wasn't swimming or sinking further, but the top was getting further from me. I turned and kept swimming down as the cavern walls grew closer and closer, turning from grey rock to smooth yellow-green limestone. Eventually the passage got so narrow I was crawling through the water with my arms, and the further I got the darker the ambient light grew. I got to a point where I could only inch forward, wriggling my body like a snake to try and slide into this narrow passage that only kept narrowing further.
At some point I could no longer move forward, my arms stuck pressed against the side of my body in this dark underwater tube. I began to panic and flail in the dark completely stuck and running low on air, when I feel something sort of tickling the top of my head. I crane my neck up to look down the tunnel and see a long crustation-like arm extended from the darkness ahead just lightly feeling me. Looking at the claw I then see the rest of the creature come into view, quickly scuttling towards me. As soon as it gets within range the thing just starts butchering my face, I'm there squirming and struggling in this dark watery tube as the last bits of air bubble out of my lungs. That's the point I woke up.

[tp4tissue]

Happy life w/ friends

Sinking feeling

Distance growing away from smiling people

Crab creature pinning oneself against the bottom.

The imagery is very similar to addicts which see their lives go into a rut, along with a demon being of sorts holding them down and back..

It could be interpreted as one's life that used to be connected and interdependent with other people, but now has become disconnected and the person can't seem to shake free..  something (identifiable, object/force) is holding the person down.

I remember reading another one similar to yours but it was a dark forest, and a goat demon dragging the person further and deeper away from the lit forest edge..

You have some terrifying dreams lol

I had a sexy keyboard dream a few months ago. It's been a while, so I may be messing up the details a bit, but basically I had a job in an accounting office; although the lighting was dim and red like strip clubs in the movies. I had three nude female coworkers who were using Model M SSKs. Of course, I also had brought my SSK to work. One of the women had a version of the Model M that I'd never seen before that had two vertical levels of keys (like the rows of keys on an organ). The sad thing is I think I was more interested in the rare keyboard than the women.

Broadly, if we look past the -Visuals-,  this is attractive female doing data-entry.

So, that day, some sort of distinctly female charged, or feminine wisdom, or feminist propaganda info  reached your ears or your thoughts,  and  your brain was typing it into your long term memory banks,   

Dreams ARE REAL,  most often a visualization of new information (determined by you) to be important and needed to be recorded..  The visualization themselves are rarely of significance, they are just the interpreted unconscious imagery of the process happening.

I had a crazy dream last night, can't remember the 'plot' but I remember leaving a building and going into an enclosed yard.  To my left was a skyscraper which I knew to be an airport but I was confused when a bell went and just like being back at school people started excitedly entering the yard from the other two sides (not where I came from or the airport) and I was informed that the yard was shared between the airport and a prison.  Only when the yard was full did I see any planes coming or going, and then they were doing vertical take offs despite being big passenger planes

You are distraught at being excluded from the societal coming and goings due to your injury,  and it feels as if those around you (the planes) are leaving port without you..

That works on some levels - I must have missed something in my isolation and I guess the airport and planes are futuristic to make them more attractive otherwise I wouldn't care, but who are all the 'excitable inmates' I'm surrounded by in the yard?
