I created Steps: The Video Game. It was pretty much a Just Dance/rhythm game knock-off where you'd go around challenging various 90s and 00s popstars to a dance-off. From what I can remember, you'd learn their songs and there wasn't a single actual Steps song in the game.

I was on a train, and I was naked except for a towel wrapped around me. I think I was travelling somewhere I could have a shower. A 15 year old white boy mocked me, and I said "fuck off n*gger". It then cut to footage from the bodycam he was secretly wearing, of me saying the racial slur. He tried reporting me to the train police, but my excuse was "why would I call him n*gger when he's white?".

I got to my destination which was a large changing room with many shower cubicles. I dream of this changing room a lot, not sure what the significance is. I had a shower and got dressed, the dream ended.

Do you two sometimes have dreams about former flats or rented rooms you used to live at?

The other night I had another dream of being back in my old student housing room, and secretly overstaying my tenancy, which ended automatically after graduation. But this time, in this iteration of that dream, I wasn't an actual person but a spirit that was haunting the place. And I was watching the person who was now living in that room, knowing that they couldn't see me.

Since moving at the end of 2023, I've also often had dreams about my old flat that I moved out of, from just being there to going on one of the 5-minute walks to the shops and the area where all the pubs were at night.

One of my standard stress dreams is that 'they' are going to find the body I buried in a previous house.
It does little to alleviate the stress. Thanks, brain.

I was a on a hill somewhere in the Pennines trying to take a photo of a nice view over Manchester that's the weirdest part, but as I tried to get a better view further up, it became steeper and steeper, and I struggled not to fall. Eventually I was caught beneath a landslide IN A CHAMPAYNE SUPANOVOH, and only narrowly survived, coughing up and spit out big mouthfuls of mud and dirt.

I may have posted about this before, but does anyone else get nonsensical fake memories when they're very tired/almost asleep? Just now I had a thought about the wet clay I put up at work, you know, all over the wall so people can take their shoes off and wedge them into the wet clay, so as not to lose their shoes.

What?!? For a split second I thought that was a real thing that had really happened.

I was ill last week, and I was drifting in and out of sleep, so while I was asleep for most of the relevant time, I nevertheless did spend over 12 hours absolutely convinced, each time I woke up, that I could cure my illness by piecing together all the thoughts and ideas and events in the world like a jigsaw, based on their unique angular shapes. I made quite good progress, too, although obviously I didn't manage all of it because I stayed ill. I have no idea if this was illness-related delirium or a dream, but I assume it was a dream because I'm pretty sure you only get delirious when you are much, much iller than I was.

Weird one last night.

I inherited an old Mercedes from my parents after they both passed, and it's still in my garage awaiting restoration. Nothing too exotic or valuable, just a weathered daily driver. So last night in my dream, the Merc was suddenly gone and then my dad said, "Oh yeah, I took it to the breaker's this morning". So I said, what have you done Dad, I was going to restore it. So I went there to get the car back, but they had already stripped it down to the shell. And I felt really sad, because it has some of my most cherished memories of my parents attached to it.

I do need to get cracking on that project, it's been sitting in the garage for the best part of three years. Friends have told me to get rid of the car, as there has been no progress in over a year. But I could never bring myself to abandon the project.

I went to a restaurant with my dad and older brother. I was bragging about harassing women on the internet, showing them screencaps of me trolling women on Instagram. We went to a football match, I think it was places that didn't have football matches.

There was a restaurant within the arena, and lots of plazas, with unusual buildings looking over the pitch. I sat in a grassy plaza and spoke to two women. One was a fat dwarf woman.

We were flirting and then we compared feet sizes. We touched a lot, then the other woman asked if I had precummed my trousers. Which were actually thin pyjama bottoms. I tried to deny it, but when they smelled it they knew it was precum.

I went up the stairs out of the plaza into my dad's house. He told me how ashamed he is of how I treat women, so I said I didn't want anything to do with him.

Then we were on a stage at a conference where he was giving a motivational speech, and he said something like "This is for the family in your life" (he hugged my brother), "And the family that aren't", (and hugged me). Then I told him I still love him though I don't want anything to do with him.

Good job I don't believe in the thing of dreams reflecting my psyche.

Chris Martin talking to me about sustainable small net fishing. I would make fun of him, saying things like 'fish Martin' and 'Codplay'. He was visibly annoyed.

Do you ever have someone make frequent appearances in your dreams?

In middle school I had a tough chavvy girl living on my street who was always fighting other women and had her own gang. We played out though as kids do that age and she fancied me, we didn't really do anything obviously but we went to the same school and I must've seen her once or twice when we were on nights out but didn't really talk. Naturally she was much more outgoing and I was more of a typical awkward boy who didn't have much confidence, but we joked around and had some borderline warm friendship at school even if we were in different classes.

And yet decades later she appears in my dreams sometimes, normally we have a sordid and passionate affair getting absolutely blackout drunk and can't keep our hands off each other. The bars stop serving us so we go home and crack the booze out while I finger her which makes for a pleasant dream I don't want to wake up from. This is the 21st century though so I can look her up on social media and see how her life has turned out as a predictable mess of kids, pit bulls and stupid photo editing like dog ears - but my dream state doesn't remember this fact.

No clue what that's about or why she of all people has come back over the last few years instead of all the other people in my life. Maybe I'm just imagining the different routes my own life could've taken with the chance that we might've found a middle ground between us. Obviously it wouldn't have played out like that but still, I dream about her (as an adult) and not women I've actually been with in my life.

>>470623
Fucks sake. I live a sensible life at 35 with money in the bank and I'm clearly dreaming about throwing away all my stability to be a tough bitch. Please keep me away from any chavettes left as I may start a midlife crisis early and end up a step-dad.

>>470623
My family appear in my dreams more often than I would expect, but I wouldn't say they appeared too often or anything. The weirder ones are the things that are completely random which regularly appear in my dreams, like how I am frequently in a giant German bierkeller despite never having visited one in real life nor having any inclination to do so. And everything in my dreams is always so brown, with wood panelling on the walls and wicker baskets everywhere no matter what I'm doing. The brownness is the one thing that really stands out in my dreams as a recurrent theme.

>>470625

My family appear in my dreams all the time.

Which probably hits differently than for you two. Because they're all dead. It's often not nice waking up after a dream like that.

I sometimes jokingly tell people that I'm the Highlander of my family. But there are limits to how funny that joke really is.

>>470623

I always have dreams involving people I used to be mates with at school, which I interpret as being because school was really the only time in my life I remember having a stable, core group of consistent friends. In adult life my friendships have been much more transient, what with people moving and getting jobs and developing family lives and killing themselves and all those various things.

I was at a concert with my family, and for some reason there was a big screen showing an advert for a pixel art 2D beat em up set in India called Bhangra Boys or something. My family were all looking away and my brother asked what it's called as it looks good, and I said "GOOD MORNING SAARS" in a racist Indian accent.

Then my family kept talking about how Good Morning Saars is a really weird name for a game and repeating Good Morning Saars, and I got embarrassed because I didn't realise there were Indians behind me, and I was propagating racist anti-Indian internet memes.

>>470640

That's pretty funny though.

I wouldn't feel bad, because if the Indians in your dream were anything like the Indians I've known in real life, they were mad racist themselves and could handle a bit of bantz.

I went with some friends and family to visit Warhammer World. Some of them were people I've not even thought about in a decade or more, including a bloke I think I only ever met once at a gig in Manchester in about 2011.

Anyway, when we got there it hardly had any Warhammer and most of it was some Ninja Warrior Total Wipeout Takeshi's Castle obstacle course things, and you could watch contestants from overhead catwalks. One of them was skateboarding and people mainly had to avoid crashing into each other on some oddly shaped half pipe setup. They were playing some really good music though.

They had Blackpool Tower on the roof only it was about ten times taller than real life. You could see all of Nottingham below us like the sky box from the bit of Half Life 2 when you're at the top of the citadel. We all went up, but the walkways were exceptionally unsafe and several of us almost fell off the edge, and we had to keep pulling each other back up.

I was a member of the cast of Friends and I had just been let go. Joey was the only one who was nice to me about it. He had a ponytail.

I've consistently been having really bizarre dreams for the last few nights.

The other night I was moving a desk chair through a city, but it rolled away down a hill and I had to chase after it, and the entire city was seemingly nothing but long downhill slopes. Last night I was driving a bus and I went over a draw bridge right as it was raising, and only just jumped out as the bus fell into the river below. Luckily it floated so I could go down and pull it onto the shore.

They seem to be very anxious dreams but in real life I am probably the least stressed I have been in years. I feel like my brain has become so conditioned to stress and anxiety over the years that in the absence of it, my brain is trying to compensate.

I dreamed I was fighting a small furry creature that just wouldn't fuck off. Grabbing it, slamming it against the floor, walls, furniture, stamping on it, crunching bones and twisting flesh. Yet it kept running right back yapping and biting at my ankles with its vile maw.

A young black woman took a liking to me in a public place and became increasingly playful and intimate as we found ourselves getting on better and better. Publicly approriate physical contact with the hint of more, eye contact, social connection. In her eyes was a relection of a Ghanan flag. She had a non-english accent. Her face was painted white - I'm not sure if it had a racial connotation.

It's a bit worrying that I keep having dreams about murdering people. Last night I had a dream that I had murdered one of my exes and had encased her body in the concrete foundation of a house. I then heard that they had arrested somebody and put him in prison because they thought he was the murderer, and I thought, brilliant, I'm actually getting away with it.

Maybe I should bring it up with my therapist.

>>470790
I had a dream recently that me and my wife murdered a glamorous 1980s-looking woman so we could steal £80,000 from her. We put her body and possessions into her red sports car and dumped it into the sea. Afterwards I was thinking "great, I've got eighty grand , and noone will ever find out", then I started worrying that actually, why wouldn't anyone find out we murdered her, it could well be discovered, and specifically that if we were found out that my name will be remembered as that of a murderer for eternity. Towards the end it felt like I was doing actual thinking rather than just stupid dream logic, and then I woke up. The end.

>>470847

We're all wronguns.

Had another dream about my late mum last night. It's not really nice waking up after that. She had dementia at the end, and so my dreams often revolve around her doing another daft thing and me sighing with exasperation, like I often did while I was looking after her.

Be there for your parents. Spend time with them. Make their life a bit more enjoyable. You never know when they will be gone. And then all the remorse will start, because no matter how much you lived by that, you'll still feel like you didn't do enough. And every harsh word you ever said to them comes back to haunt you in retrospect.

A very pretty black lass was apparently my girlfriend, and I was sleeping on the sofa at her nan's house. She came in to check on me during the night and asked if I wanted to go to bed with her but I declined because it's her nan's house. I asked her what time it was, and she said it was 3:15, and I said oh good, I thought it was far later than that. I then realised what was happening and woke up to check the time because it was, indeed, five minutes until my alarm.

Dream harlots trying to make you late for work, lads. Don't believe their lies.

Hang on why have two of us been dreaming about black lasses recently? Are we race fetishists now?

>>470864

Are you two also the fatty chasers?

>>470871

Certainly not.

The one in my dream was petit and slim. I think she was based on an old work colleague's sister (who I worked with... So just a colleague, but I always saw her as "Otherlass's Sister" first, if you know what I mean) who I got along with very well, because out of the four 20 something girls I found myself having to train at one point, she was the only one who wasn't a fucking boring "like ohmygaaawd" type of cunt.

>>470864
Now?

I went into a nightclub in a large dilapidated building in the middle of nowhere. I had to go up metal stairs outside to enter on the first floor. It turned out to be a "rape shop", where you order people to rape and sexually abuse.

I was disgusted by this concept, I ordered a skinny woman and a large butcher's knife to torture her with, and for the man who brought her up to rape her too but to not kill her. He said "no promises there mate". My plan was not to rape, but to kill the rapeman when he was raping the woman, then I free the woman and kill the other workers.

As I was waiting I noticed lots of hen do's and office parties in the nightclub. One woman looked like she worked in HR, and she had a bouquet of flowers and a naked man on a chain leash. In another room, a brown had his feet on a table while three naked leashed white girls kissed his feet.

It was taking a long time for the raped girl I was going to save to arrive, and I was getting anxious from the crowds. My jaw really hurt because I was clenching it so hard. After a while I had an anxiety attack and left.

I had an anxiety nightmare last night where I'd managed accidentally to shave my moustache into a Hitler 'tache, but not even like a big full one, it was all thin and whispy.

>>471209
You drempt you were a visage of Hitler? That's gotta mean something mate what's going on in your mind?

>>471209

>where I'd managed accidentally to shave my moustache into a Hitler 'tache

Maybe it was really a Charlie Chaplin 'tache.

The so-called toothbrush moustache was actually quite fashionable and widespread from about 1900 to the 1930s, without negative connotations. It only really fell out of favour after Hitler adopted it, having worn a Kaiser moustache previously, as evidenced by photos of him from WWI.

>>471221
I'm not a big believer in the idea that dreams have some kind of hidden meaning to them (because it's made up Fraudian nonsense), so I think it's just the oft felt concern I have about slipping up and ruining my moustache. I have some big events coming too up so if I ruin it now, the whole thing's got to go. There simply isn't the time to regrow it.

>>471222
Oh, I'm well aware. I saw pic related just the other day.

>>471223

>Fraudian nonsense

Fraudian slip?

>>471224
Sadly not, I instead spent so long trying to get that photo around the "please only upload one image at a time" bug that I never bothered to proof read my post.

How do you two see precognitive dreams?

I'm asking because something unsettling happened last night, as I had a very vivid dream about a good friend dying in an accident.

A few years ago, I had a similar dream about an ex's brother dying. I remembered very distinctly from my dream the procession from the chapel to the grave with the coffin, and then two or three years later when he did die very unexpectedly and I attended the funeral, it was downright disturbing how much the real thing was like my dream.

I don't expect my friend to die at any point now, but that dream last night was on my mind the whole day.

>>471476

The only thing that's telling of is that you are worried about it. I am definitely part of the "dreams have meaning" camp, because dreams are in effect just the nightly defrag and refresh process of the sophisticated LLM neural network you call consciousness. But unless you have outstanding predictive abilities on a subconscious level, I think it's unlikely for that to overlap significantly with future events.

>>471476
Once you realise you're living what you predicted, you have to change the events. So one time I dreamed about walking down a certain street at a certain time of day with certain weather and ambience, and months later I was in that exact shot, so I punched a wall because I didn't do that in my dream, and then the nuclear bombs didn't drop. Or turn off TV like one dream I was watching Junior Bake Off when the bombs dropped so now I turn over whenever Junior Bake Off is on.

There is a shadow, it wears a hat. Could be Carmen Santiago, Harry Copperfield, or anyone. Except the shadow is the person, who observes. Sometimes it takes the form of a long haired crying thing. It's not there, but I see it.

Those are nightmares. Hat or hair, always, always.

>>471496

You might be ska-badabadabadoo-belidabbelydabbladabbladabblabab-belibabbelibabbelibabbelabbelo-doobelidoo reassured to hear that the hatman is a pretty common hallucination from sleep deprivation and also deliriant abuse.

I've got some theories about sleep paralysis. I have pretty frequent abnormal/semi lucid dream states that I think are quite strongly linked to it. I don't think I can be bothered typing it up unless one of you is particularly interested though.

>>471500
I'll hear what you got to say. Give it a go at breakfast tomorrow.

>>471497
I know. It's a strange one where if you tell people they either nod and also know, or they look at you like a wrongun. "Have you met the hat man?", and most people laugh. The shadow person who does not exist but you can see them.

Between this "hat man" and the suggestion that precognition is real I'm starting to suspect some of you lot are "touched", as they used to say.

There was a time artifact a small pot which when destored would send the destroyer back to the time and place of the last time it had been destroyed and interupted that process, this was intially used by a person who was stealing it from a forbiden artifacts warehose (think the place at the end of raiders of the lost ark) to evade capture, but ended up being used one too many times (as the artifact would send people further back (as it corrected for previous times it had been destroyed) and sent them back to the middle ages where they encoutered someone who was actually from the far future who was stuck there and had built themselves a hidden refuge, they expained not only did the artififact send people back in time it also made them effectively temoprarily immortal as the universe naturally desired to put them back in the orginal place they belonged in the time before they continued advancing as normal, so they were just staying out of histories way and observing.

the protagonist contiued to destroy to use the device untile it sent them back to the brozen age and the orginal creator and it turned out the devices imortality wasn't an accident as the orgianl creator was a sadist who wanted people to be immortal so that they could tourture them indefinately.

I think I was Sonic, or possibly one of the Transformers (it wasn't very consistent). The bad guy was very proud of himself that he had sent some sort of robo-shark baddie after me in a swimming level. But that part was quite promptly forgotten about. He was following after me to gloat and block doorways, but I was apparently not following the script, so instead I grabbed him by the throat and pinned him down to call him a fanny and threaten to punch his teeth in in a voice very similar to Teeside Tintin (that's not at all how I speak but apparently it's how Sonic speaks). I then had to fight a climactic boss battle against a load of evil Transformers.

I had a dream that I was in the bathroom having a poo, and then it just wouldn't stop, I would wipe and flush and then just even more came out of me. And not as diarrhea, but quite solid, to where the sheer combined length was just improbable to fit inside a person's gut. This repeated several times until it seemed I was done.

>>471501

I may remember by the weekend.
