Yesterday I had a dream, in which I was solving some puzzles as a test subject. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and I realized the puzzle actually makes sense and I can eventually use it. I guess my brain is taking puzzle design to a whole new level.

Back when i first heard about portal, i had a dream where i was a test subject in a weird lab where they always tested surgical procedures and other weird science. i wanted my freedom and fought so much that they said, "fine.... here you go...." and then they let me run free on grassy hills and trees etc. but instead of the sky, it was a giant metal roof with lamps hanging from it. kindof like the roof of costco. cameras where everywhere.

Some day i dreamed, that i made a destroyed room in Hammer, only with a laser, an exit door, and a button+cube. The button deactivates the laser. I dreamed that i was "in" this chamber. The laser was in the middle of the room, the exit door, button+cube was on the one side, and i was in the other side. I dreamed that i cant get to the other side because i would die if i would touch the laser. I dreamed that sequence for maybe 5-10 min. ( i think,) and the environment was like a nightmare.

Dreams

Spoiler

But normally i dream every day about that someone of my family is dieing, or that im running away of bad people, or that someone trys to kill me. every night i have nightmares since months, but thats probably why because im very stressed of my high school graduation, or maybe because i have my problems with girls or friends, im alone. :lol:

After going back inside the kitchen was full of disguising flying glow-worm bug things. The owner of the house said that it was a curse and that these bugs always appear in the house. She trapped them in a big jar and chucked it outside.

My other friend was bored sitting on a chair so she asked me to go find a book for her to read. I went to the book room and found "Choose your own Adventure" books that I stole from my school library and never returned.
One was about a lion Siberian king that turned people into cat people.

This sounds like most of my dreams. Absolutely ridiculous, and completely nonsensical. Things change completely in the space of a second and nobody questions it, they just go along as if nothing happened.

My dream
[spoiler]I have had one dream, though, where I was in an alternate Portal 2 campaign. I was asleep for only a couple of hours, but the dream seemed to last for days. It just kept going. The campaign followed the same story line, but the chambers were different (It's actually how I got the idea for some aesthetics). The Wheatley chambers were quite fun.

It was weird, because I wasn't in the role of Chell; I wasn't actually IN Portal, but Portal was all I could see. Like I was playing it in an Oculus Rift.

I eventually got to the end of the campaign by escaping a Wheatley chamber, and getting onto some catwalks. Most of the BTS area was the Citadel from HL2, though, until I got to the boss fight. In which you had to use speed [spoiler](interesting note: I wrote 'sleep' here the first time. I think my brain is telling me it's time to go to bed...)[/spoiler] gel to escape Wheatley's bombs, because most of the floor was goo. I don't think I ever killed Wheatley, but at some point the boss fight was over and I was in the Citadel type areas again. I'm kinda glad that happened, because the room was fast-compiled and the goo looked ugly. Now that I think about it, it looks like a map I almost uploaded to this site when I first signed up (upload wouldn't work [phew]).Then I walked through a door, and was in a hotel. I walked down to the lobby, then up again a few times. Then all of a sudden there were people, and we were in a bus.
We were a group of...things (not humans, but we had humanoid features), that evidently couldn't be seen by actual humans. This fact was made apparent by one of my co-humanoids calling out to another co-humanoid who was sitting on the front windscreen of a car travelling alongside the bus, asking him what he was doing (as in, "What do you think you're doing!?"), to which he replied "Relax, they can't see us".

I woke up when I realized we were cockroaches.[/spoiler]

Yeah, I have some weird dreams. They're a lot of fun, though. I get to see all these new places, and experience the strangest things. Once, I had a dream there was a 5-meter high staircase in my grandparent's house that led into clouds, which could be walked on. I think it was a stairway to heaven. In fact I have a lot of recurring dreams about big houses, and hotels, now that I think about it...

Yeah, tile nerco'd it so I decided to chip in my 2 cents. And no, can't say I have, actually.

I had a dream that I looked on the roof of my house and there were dead kittens spread out all over it. I also had a dream that someone I know coughed up blood.

On less of a darker note, I do have dreams about talking cats too. And more recently I had one about being Chell trapped in a room of endless excursion funnels and I couldn't escape, I just kept moving through the excursion funnels...

My boyfriend asks me if I ever dream about him. I say no.

My dreams are always full of randoms or people that say they are someone I know but look nothing alike.
