Dreams

• Snippet: I ran around the roofs of a city, visiting the tops of towers to tag them like in Assassin’s Creed games. However, different factions in the city had a different task to do at the top of each tower to tag them, and ours was either to bring a giant rat to the top of each one, or talk to an existing giant rat at the top of each one, in order to tag the towers.
• Snippet: In a separate dream, I was in an assembly hall in school with some friends getting ready for the school prom. Everyone had one or two invites that they could send to others, and we could then form groups by sending the invites to each other, however a girl I didn’t know sent me an invite as well and so the principal grouped the two of us up even though I had nothing linked to her. It looked like she needed friends though, so I took her around in my car and made it so she could join our group anyway.

• Snippet: There were two large outdoor wooden towers that I needed to hit with green wind orbs. I also had a green, wind-themed sword, and two red, fire-themed knives that I borrowed from someone else, that helped me clear up blockades with those towers, though I don’t remember if those blockades were things or people.
• Snippet: Later, I visited a narrow but tall apartment building, carrying two rattan stools and hoping to give them to a girl that I knew lived in the building and was being stalked by a guy. However, I couldn’t find her, even when I attended a party in the building that was supposedly being attended by everyone in the building. I didn’t want to carry the stools home with me however, so on my way out the door, I offered the stools to two old women instead. One of them was delighted upon seeing the stools and took both of them.
• I then went to catch a bus home at the nearby bus terminal with two friends, and we ran across the overhead bridge and joined the queue to catch the bus that had just arrived, but the bus was full up by the time it reached our part of the line so we had to wait for another bus anyway.

• Snippet: There were a couple small islands upon a lake connected by bridges, with green banisters going around the edges of all the bridges and islands protecting people from falling in. Someone in my dream went there to sulk at one point and that’s all I remember about that snippet.
• Snippet: There were also a couple tall towers on a map that needed to be activated, and I couldn’t figure out why some of the NPCs under my control could trigger them whereas some others could not, so I ended up sending everyone out at once and that worked, it just caused me to need to do more upkeep afterwards to herd everyone back home safely.
• Snippet: I was in a foreign country with a friend and we went out for food at a roadside stall that he recommended. The owner of the stall only spoke Chinese and asked me if I understood the language at one point in our conversation. I said yes. He gave me a bowl of rice and food and refused to accept any payment when I brought out my wallet full of weird dollar notes, because he knew my friend and knew that I was a friend of his. I asked him if I could have some curry for my rice too and he gave me a ladle with holes in the bottom of it, but I used the side of the ladle and scooped up eight small spoonfuls of curry for a decent amount of curry to put over my rice.

• There was a new patch in a game that involved two school classrooms in a fantasy world. The new patch came with an assignment to do and both classes had a different assignment. I went to the other class that wasn’t mine as they had an easier task, to watch a short film and then to craft a wooden platform that allowed them to climb up to a meadow-like zone to look at new flora and fauna that was introduced in the patch.
• After a bit, I went back to my own classroom as the assignment there was starting. I saw Allen there, among other people that I knew. Our assignment was a practical exam where we had to enter an instanced room with a hole in the floor and fix it. The entire classroom was an airship and was travelling in the air, so we could see the world moving down below through the hole in the floor and many of us had some form of vertigo as we listened to the teacher explain the task.
• Each room was equipped with a couple of sticks, a ruler, some paper and tape, some plaster, a laptop, and a USB stick. Our task was that the floor was a little bit uneven where the hole was and we needed to figure out a way to even out the floor before we applied the plaster over the hole. From my seat on the floor, where I was in order to counteract the vertigo, I listened to her explain how to apply the plaster, but she got distracted and wandered off before she told us how to use the laptop and USB stick.
• Someone else with another instanced room further down the passageway had completed his assignment already, and I flagged him down as he wandered by and asked him to teach me how to do it. He agreed and I followed him back to his room. Unlike our room, his room was warm and had a glass table and a chair along one wall, whereas ours was completely bereft of furniture.
• He showed me how to stick the USB in the laptop and then run a program which would detect how horizontal the laptop was on the floor, and if there was any tilt with it, then we could use the ruler and sticks to prop up the laptop to try to get the tilt value to 0, which represented a perfectly horizontal plane. I thanked him for my help and returned to my room.
• In my room, I only had a few minutes left before the exam was over but I successfully followed the steps to activate my own laptop and USB stick, and found that the floor around the hole had a tilt rating of 2. Sticking the ruler and stick under the bottom part of the laptop got it to 0 though, and I then moved the ruler and stick over the hole in the floor, attaching them in place using the paper and tape, and then applying the plaster all over it to seal up the hole.
• There was something like one minute left at this point, so I wandered out of the room before remembering that there was also a worksheet to fill in, and hurrying back in again to do it, even though it had been used to help seal up the hole and was thus stuck on the ground. The worksheet asked some technical questions about the hole sealing, which I answered, and then also had a questionnaire with 5 multiple choices per question, about whether we had seen some of the flora and fauna that was the new patch content and what they looked like.
• I was surprised they asked questions about them since our class didn’t have time to explore the flora and fauna yet, but I did recognize a few of them from when I visited the other class, so I selected the descriptions of the plants and animals that I recognized, and selected the “I don’t know” option for the ones that I didn’t know.

• There was a town with three outdoor city street zones that I went back and forth between in a side-scroller game view. Two of the zones had a water area that I could dive into and swim between. One had exactly 3 jellyfish spawns, where the jellyfish were small, white wispy things that were shaped like large, white shrimps. The other water zone spawned between 15 and 40 jellyfish, according to the code.
• I had a quest to collect 20 jellyfish, so I dived into the first one and caught the 3 there, then swam to the second one and caught all the jellyfish there while a swimming creature was chasing me, but I only ended up with 18 or 19 jellyfish, and failed the quest. I restarted the quest, and this time decided to do the larger pool first, as I figured that perhaps other people were catching the jellyfish there too and that’s why I didn’t find enough. This time, I managed to both avoid the chasing creature and catch enough jellyfish with my butterfly net to complete the quest.
• In between the two attempts, a friend got a dog and dressed it up in some clothing, and I met and patted it and commented that it looked very human-like. And after the second successful attempts at the quest, I went over to the third city zone where my hideout was.
• Snippet: I wanted to play a co-op game with Derpie and a couple other people from Nomakk‘s stream, but we were having trouble deciding what. In the meantime, I was lying down in a grass field with my bolster, next to a friend, while fiddling with my phone. There was a large group of low-levelled WoW players nearby balled up together and waiting for a monster respawn on the field near us.
• Snippet: I also remember a scene later on where a friend wanted to turn a scarecrow in front of a town hall into a guard for me, but I had to undo and remove it because it was killing things too fast and I needed my enemies to stay alive longer.

• I was running a trade route with various types of gemstones from one trader to another, as was another acquaintance that I recognized. I had run this route before and was familiar with the route while he was figuring it out still. However, he almost beat me to the destination trader because I got distracted by something shiny partway there, and to catch up and overtake him I needed to jump onto a ledge, then onto a giant mushroom, then onto another ledge as a shortcut towards the destination vendor.
• The reason I wanted to beat him was that I had three types of gems, and he had two, but both his gem types were gems that I also had, so if he had gotten to the destination vendor first, I would have gotten less for my gems afterwards. Although my third type of gem, a diamond, was worth about as much as my other two gem quantities combined anyway. Still, since I beat him there, I nonetheless made a little bit more profit.
• I chatted him up afterwards and suggested nearer but much shorter routes that he could try too, for example the trader in the town in the zone right next to this destination trader was still considered a valid trade route partner since he was in a different zone. It would mean that profit margins were lower, but he could get a lot more runs done in the same amount of time and also guarantee small profits each time as long as he watched for fluctuation in the prices between the two regions.
• Snippet: There was some plotline about paying $1 tax per $12 of food that some friends and I bought at a food court, which we didn’t like. This food was needed as part of a larger plotline to fight against something though.

• Snippet: There were four flags going by on a racetrack, like they were each on an automated conveyor belt that followed the curve of a running lane. There were other things going by on the conveyor belt as well, but the flags in particular needed to be shot with a gun from the sidelines where I stood, and I remember trying to convince a couple other people that I was with that that was the correct thing to do for a quest.
• Snippet: I also remember a scene where I was seated on the floor of a room in a bank, and for some reason I and my parents had to switch banks so I had to move myself from that first bank’s room to a room in a second bank. However, that second bank’s room was a lot dirtier, and in particular the floor’s carpet had lots of bubblegum and other dirt stuck in it. There was a carpet that partially covered the floor and so I sat on that instead of the floor itself, but nonetheless I complained about this to the manager and was told that this was the way the floor was and they weren’t going to clean or renovate it. I had some choice words about this with Mom afterwards.
• Snippet: Lastly, I remember a scene where I was walking along a city street late at night with the family when we saw multiple aurora in the sky, both to the left and right side of the road, though the right side had a lot more ambient light in the sky. We tried taking photographs of this and then showing them to Mom, who somehow couldn’t see them properly in the sky even though she was with us, and I commented that a couple of my right side pictures were too bright to actually see the aurora but she seemed to like those ones and had no problem looking at them.
