Why do you have so many dreams revolving around a classroom? Also, you definitely must have been dead tired to sleep while sleeping XD.

I have no idea, haven’t been in a classroom in more than a year but I still dream about them almost every night.

Last night I dreamed we were doing some sort of simulation of evolution in class, except it wasn’t really a simulation because it felt real asf. We were pretending to be prey, and there were 3-4 giant predators floating above us. Everyone was hiding under 3 big blankets. The predators were glowing blue and kind of transparent, like ghosts as big as houses.

The only one I remember was the giant snarling wolf, although there may have been a bird of some kind, perhaps a chicken. The wolf was so real and scary in the dream I couldn’t even watch. It swooped down and in one bit, ate everybody under one of the blankets. I took a peek but it saw me, and I was almost too paralyzed with fear to crawl back under the blanket (I managed).

Then it swooped down and ate half of the people under my blanket, just about missing me. Then all the predators flew away, and the second phase of the evolution simulator began. Everyone who survived was allowed to get pizza in pairs from a pizza stand. My partner ordered our pizza with nothing on it, just sauce and dough, without asking me. When the chefs weren’t looking, I added a line of cheese on our pizza.

I had a dream...about trash, firefighters, vacuums, a new restaurant, cars, and China.

Most of the details have been forgotten, so I can only tell the main parts. I saw an advertisement for a real life game of being a firefighter in China. I was given instructions that I should report to the address shown when the alarm rings on my phone. The alarm rings not long after when I'm at my house. My mom drives me to the address. Turns out it was a drill that brought me to a training session.

Before that, we park the car in a nearby parking lot. The owner of the car next to us gives us something, but I don't remember what it is. I go to the training session where I am told the real game will begin in a few weeks in China. Alot of time passes by, but it's still the same day. Reality starts to bend to the point of weirdassness.

I come back to the car with my mom, intending to return the item given to us by the car owner next to us, but that car is gone and is replaced with an impossibly thin, small, all bright red, futuristic car. I then get this sudden urge to clean the area of trash. I do so. Evening comes and I notice a bunch of teen girls seem to be running up and down the road (which is a hill) carrying things.

I look up from picking up tiny white pieces of something that are everywhere and see them putting up a sign for some sort of restaurant on a vacant building. Mind you, the entire street is filled with vacant buildings. It's now dusk and I yell at my mom that I'm getting the vacuum. I run up the hill which somehow turns into a house and get the vacuum.

I bring the vacuum back and start vacuuming the tiny white pieces, without a plug. Then I notice the girls and an older woman talking, take down the sign, bring it back up the hill, bring it back down, and put it on a different building. By the time I finish vacuuming, the new restaurant is finished. I wake up.
As I was writing, details started coming back to me. The firefighter part is more foggy than the cleaning and restaurant.

Last night I dreamed I was at the top of a very high ladder on the inner side of a 30-story C-shaped building, and there were kids playing in some kind of playground below, but then I noticed an oddly-shaped cloud in the sky exactly above the middle of the playground. It started spinning around its axis and turned into a very weird and creepy and supernatural-looking "tornado" that sucked one or two kids into it while everyone else was running away. It started moving towards me, so I jumped down the ladder (idk how I survived that) and started to run away, but I saw the thing was catching up to me so I climbed on top of a tree and gave myself a swing and started to jump from tree to tree, however the swings were always throwing me in the wrong direction. It somehow turned into a 2d game where my character was a circle in a maze and I had to escape the tornado, but the tornado now looked very "electronic" or "video-game-y". It didn't take me long to reach a dead end and I woke up as I saw the tornado approaching.

I know I'm weird

Not as weird as mine. I swear, mine are some of the most unnatural. They have smooth storylines (most of the time), but are extremely eerie, unnatural, weird, creepy, and very often dark. By dark, I mean both by light and by concept. Very few involve children.

Last night I dreamed I was at an outdoor car dealership. There was a red and gold car with a crown but the guy said it was $45000. I said I couldn’t afford it and walked away, trying to get them to lower the price, but then someone else bought it before I could negotiate.

Then I decided to buy a car covered in tomato sauce because it was cheaper. The guy asked $2000 but I told him exactly, “that’s a $1000 piece of pizza” and we agreed on $1000.

Then I tried to clean the tomato sauce off the car by hanging it on a wall, covering it in cement and sticking big wood sticks in it. When I pulled the sticks off, large pieces of tomato sauce came off with them. This whole time I was regretting not just buying the other car. I woke up before I could get all the tomato sauce off the car.

The night before I dreamed I was at a cabin in the middle of a snowy forest with my friend. There were millions of tiny holes deep in the snow, as if someone inserted a bunch of combs straight down into the snow. I explained to him that it was because all the insects were burrowing for the winter.

We watched the insects make a lot more tiny holes, then he walked a few feet to a red car. It suddenly got very windy and snowy, and I struggled against the wind to get to the car. It was only a few feet away but I barely made it. I don’t remember any other details.

I’ve compiled a few notes about my dreams.

The most common settings are shopping malls, classrooms, forests (sometimes covered in snow, sometimes thick as a jungle, sometimes regular), and school buses.

The most common themes are running but not being able to move fast, running away from people/animals but they always seem to find me, hitting/beating someone up but they never seem to get hurt, and driving/car accidents (usually minor). I used to dream a lot about floating upward but not being able to stop or come down, but I stopped having this dream very often.

A lot of the time my dreams shift back and forth between scenes, some of which are so random I just leave them out because it would make it confusing. For example, sometimes girls will appear and I will make out with them, then they will leave and the dream resumes.

Usually if I am stressed about something irl, I will be stressed in my dreams (late for class, being chased, etc). I usually remember dreams the most vividly when I get waken up in the middle of them. The more I recall the events of a dream as soon as I wake up, the better I remember it.

Often as I am drifting to sleep, I can sense my thoughts becoming less and less sober/coherent. A lot of the time in dreams something will seem logical in a dream when it actually makes no sense at all, but you don’t realize until you think about the dream once you’ve woken up.

A lot of the time I realize I’m dreaming, but I still can’t control what happens in the dream. Usually I will try very over and over to make something happen, concentrating very hard, but the dream just carries on normally. This usually frustrates me within the dream.

The things I remember most from my dreams are the images and emotions. This makes it very difficult to put it into words sometimes, because the actual contents of the dream are jumbled/abstract and sometimes only appear for a second before disappearing.

A lot of the time when I’m writing down my dreams, I simplify things massively and only exclude the main contents, not all the random side stuff. However, sometimes I do remember specific phrases that I said or someone else said in the dream. Usually it’s because it was said shortly before I woke up.

When I reread one of the dreams I wrote in this thread, I almost always vividly recall the images from the dream as if they happened yesterday. Remembering one part of the dream triggers me to remember the rest of it.

Sometimes I am trying really hard to remember part of a dream that I know happened but I forgot exactly what happened in it, I will coincidentally think about something loosely related that will trigger me to remembering the dream.

The people in my dreams are often people I haven’t thought about in a long time. I don’t know if my subconscious is thinking about them or what. The vast majority of my dreams involve people from my middle school and I rarely dream about people from my high school, even though I haven’t seen any of the middle school kids for 3 years and I see the high school kids every day (until Covid).

I remember a few dreams from years and years ago that for some reason have stuck with me even though I’ve never dreamt them since. Maybe I’ll post them here if I get time.

Hopefully that was interesting to read, lmk if you guys relate to any of it or if I’ve just lost my marbles.

I had two connected dreams last night and remember both vividly, so this is gonna be a long one.

Last night I dreamed I was in a small building that had a portal in it. It looked like a cube with rippling light in it. There were other people there from my school. We entered the portal and it took us to the setting of Captain Underpants book 12. Well, it didn’t actually but dream me seemed to think it did. It really took us to a platform full of grey fog/mist, so much that you could only see a few feet in any direction.

There were two or three creepy, slowly moving statues on the platform that were trying to track us down. I remember the hunched goblin statue with angel wings, that moved by waddling. The portal was still there but didn’t take us back to the regular world when we entered it. The only way to return home was to wander around the platform and trip the secret part that would take us home.

For some reason, everyone was walking slowly, not just the statues. I guess it was to make sure that we didn’t just trip the portal home but run away before we could enter it. You can imagine how it might be scary to slowly walk around a platform searching for a spot that you couldn’t see, not being able to see very far, and knowing there were a few statues hunting us. I did catch a few glimpses of the statues but found the portal just before the goblin could get me.

I was back in the building with all the people, but when I looked at the portal, I caught a glimpse of one of the people’s shocked faces in it before they disappeared. I asked someone what this meant and they said that someone was stealing the portal. I raced outside to the parking lot and caught the person pushing the portal away in a grocery cart with a teacher. I caught up with them and smacked them on the head with the grocery cart.

I returned to the building and told everyone I retrieved the portal. I went to put it on a shelf of other portals, however all of the portals were oranges. The portal I had retrieved was now just an orange in my hand too. It seemed to make sense in the dream that the orange was the portal in another form, so I peeled the orange and put it on the shelf.

I woke up briefly at this point, and thought about the events of the dream while half conscious. This is how I remember it so well. Anway, I fell back asleep and the dream sort of continued. It was implied that we had all gone through the rift portal again and got taken to the setting of Captain Underpants book 11. This part of the dream didn’t actually happen, but it was understood by drea me that it did.

Again, it didn’t actually take us to the setting of that book, but in the dream it was implied that it did. We were in a big maze-like building, with lots of corridors and secret rooms. The portal took us to a room at the start of the maze, with a firepole leading up to a room above.

There were teachers hidden in rooms throughout the maze, and everybody had a few specific teachers that they had to find. It was a race, we had to try to be the first ones back to the starting room having located all of our specific teachers. I went out into the maze with a friend and we located one teacher that we needed in a pit full of fire. We found a few teachers that weren’t on our list.

Then we heard a big commotion and returned to the beginning of the maze to find everyone gathered around a room right in front of the starting room that had not been there before. Apparently the room was supposed to be a secret but broke. There was a teacher in the room that was supposed to be hidden but was now in plain sight. She was not on my list but I tagged her anyway and then claimed I was done the race.

Everyone got mad because the race was paused until the teacher could find a new hiding spot, and they claimed I cheated. Then a few other kids went sliding down the firepole and claimed they were done, and everyone was fine with it. I woke up at this point.

Just had a dream and a half. The first one is when I am on Top Chef (I am well aware of all the dreams with Top Chef). However, I am shopping in an enormous warehouse type grocery store. This store has alot of exposed food, has a ton of empty space, has no people, and is dirty. I ask how much I have to spend and the judges say around $15.

I ask how many people I should cook for, and they say around 7. (They actually said around 7 and around $15.) I think of cooking a type of currywurst and sauerkraut, and get some exposed sausages just sitting in plastic bags on a shelf. I run around getting everything I need, except for cornstarch, because of my budget.

I really want cornstarch for the sauce, but don't get it anyway. I remember the produce section being weird, but I don't remember in what way. I go to the register, then remember I have no sauerkraut because it's at my house and I'm not at my house. That's all I remember. My second dream is a disturbing scene with only penguins, which I will not discuss.

I keep having then forgetting dreams, but this time I remembered one. This whole dream takes place in a GTA V style animated world, but it's not GTA V. It starts with my fictional dad yelling at our neighbor. His name is Frank, and he had a nickname something to do with sad and/or torture Frank. Anyway, a little while later, Frank steals a car and starts driving around the city like a maniac.

I notice this as I'm walking on a sidewalk down a hill, much like a hill in Vinewood in GTA V. He zooms past me, followed by a slew of police. Then I start walking in the road and more police come, but slow down and don't honk at me. I get out of the after a little while. Shortly after, I see Frank driving. I come to a blockade set by the police at a turn off.

I start talking to them about how I know Frank when he all of a sudden zooms up to us. Meanwhile, the police have gotten behind their cars in a video game type way and point their guns. This whole time I'm standing in the middle of all of this. Frank zooms past, but no guns are ever fired. Then I start thinking how fun it would be to do the same.
