In Dreams (New Dream added)

[Crimson King]

So, I cannot draw with pen or paper, but I have extremely vivid and odd dreams (not as odd as another member...), and I had this idea for a while as a means of possibly developing interest in dreams. In short, I summarize my most recent dream of interest, and people draw it. I cannot promise any rewards, but I think it'll be fun.

Anyone interested?

Dreams are one of my main inspirations for my video game design pieces.

This sounds like a fun social topic for people to just join in on a whim.
Yeahhhh I can see it now

Sounds like a good idea :D

Make me a mod and I'll make all your dreams come true + sparkles

That's the general idea. I just want to see how people interpret my dreams (or anyone who feels like posting). Take this lucid dream I had:

I become lucid in a theater. I know this theater is different because anyone who wants can have their dreams projected on the screen. I choose a random girl with bright blue eyes to follow me. My plan is sacrifice her to Death, but I am unable (by law of the dream) to actually do it.

Anyone want to attempt this one?

I assume the other member you are speaking of is Chu Dat. Man, The Chu Dat Chronicles will never be forgotten. But that's because the whole time i was reading I was repeating "What the ****?"

Anyway, Isn't the definition of a Lucid dream being aware that you are dreaming, but unable to move. You have complete control of what you do within the dream. At least, that's what I've read.

 

[Geist]

I'm not sure how long it would take with other stuff I have to do.

Well I'll give that a shot, and post it whenever I finish.

Edit @ Zio, I always thought lucidity was defined by an awareness of the dream.
I don't know too much about it though. Crazy stuff that.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that she or he is dreaming. When the dreamer is lucid, she or he can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment.

Bren, you have the right idea thar.
CK, that dream sounds intense. Can't wait to see Bren's depiction.

 

[Geist]

You should try doing one too Alyssa

I dug up some of ChuDat's stuff
wuuuuuuut

 

[ZIO]

I wasn't man enough to read all 14 chapters.

I think it was the 4th one when it got weird. Weird enough I didn't continue.

 

[Neon Ness]

I think I'll do this. Sometimes I get insomnia and this would be a good way to practice my speedpainting during the evenings.

Plus for some reason sacrificing a blue eyed girl in a theater sounds like it would make an awesome story to write, which is always a plus.

Weird dreams are cool.

Lucid dreaming is, as pointed out, simply awareness you are dreaming. Some, have control enough to span an hour in a dream, doing whatever they want, and some, like Robert Monroe, claim that via an OBE (not totally unrelated to an LD) he spent 100 years in a two-hour session. There's more and more science in LDing thanks to Dr. Stephen LaBerge, but it's still a new frontier of sorts.

Neon Ness: feel free to do whatever you want to express the dream. I may add in some flash fiction inspired by the paintings with my feelings from the dreams.

Anyone feels like adding their own feel free. My dreams aren't always interesting. Last night, I dreamt I inherited a company.

 

[Geist]

Update:
This is really hard.

What kind of company was it?

 

[Crimson King]

Company? I don't understand the question.

 

[Geist]

Oops. Yeah that was pretty vague

Last night, I dreamt I inherited a company.

Because once I had a dream that I started a business that made the glue for seals on card envelopes.
Man what a dull dream.

 

[Crimson King]

Oh, you don't have to draw that one, but essentially, I just had to make business decisions. It was extremely pointless. I may try to lucid tonight. We'll see what happens.

 

[Neon Ness]

...I'm pretty sure speedpaints aren't supposed to take 10 days.

Maybe Crimson King will have some more lucid dreams though, lol. This was fun to do. But I want to try to get more complicated looking results next time. Might try the company one as well if I feel up to it in the near future.

I thought at least one other person would do this Oh well.

 

[Crimson King]

Epic! Looks very close to the dream. Last night, I had two non-lucids that were really ghoulish. I'll post the dream when I get home.

Edit: I really liked Neon's interpretation of my dream theater. The theater is dead-on to my dream, and since in my dream there was a woman with blue eyes, it fits perfectly that the theater would show her eyes.

Short entry in my journal, but:

Dream 1 was strange. I can remember a colony of people, all with distorted faces who were super natural in some regard. A man in an area where they lived was a criminal, and they were trying hard to destroy him. Strange.

The second dream had people I know looking for a musician, but the people looking were shapeshifters.

On the first, I remember more was their eyes. It was like when you paused a VHS movie. Their mouths were like the old gameshark ads (see below). The man wasn't touched by the people. He as terrified. I was a viewer, but they didn't like me. They were killing him with their mind.

The second was strange because my view was 3rd person. I watched a man hunting for a musician I like (Dax Riggs), and he hunted in a Werebear type form. This was a very colorful world. Similar to Pandora from Avatar.

 

[Neon Ness]

Awesome, glad you liked that one.

Whoa. Can't wait to try this one

I'm not sure what old gameshark ads or pausing a VHS movie 'look like', but hey, the fun part is trying to figure that stuff out.

 

[Crimson King]

You can see the teeth in that one.

The eyes only weren't QUITE like this, but close:

The eyes were more black and white streaks. It's hard to explain...
