Dreams

Nov 17 2025

• I went to an off-site work meeting with a bunch of my colleagues, but even though there was a chartered bus from our office to the place, most people either went by themselves or by using direct public transportation from their house instead, so I ended up being the only one taking the chartered bus there. I met my team there, but I did feel a little bit on-edge and left out due to that.
• At the location, we took part in what seemed to be an RPG and an anime filming at the same time. It involved us going into the a building or cavern with enemies to fight and various tunnels to explore, but several corridors were blocked with artificial invisible walls even though it would have been more efficient to go down and clear those ways first.
• Ronnie said something about the filming rearranging the source content to suit their needs, and nowhere was this more evident than after one of the corridor paths that we completed, where an NPC said something that seemed to imply that the story was now over. But in fact, we were only at the end of episode 5 of the anime. The pacing was bad and the order was switched inexpertly as they had missed things like this.
• After the entire shooting was done, I thought that more people would take the chartered bus back to the office and split off from there, but to my surprise once I left the room and stood outside the door I realized that I was again the only one taking this far more efficient route back. I decided I wanted to stay with the others this time even though it was a less optimal route, so I went back in.
• I had also left my umbrella behind, and Ronnie brought over 8-10 umbrellas left to one side of the room and asked which one mine was. I was looking for whatever I thought my primary umbrella was but could not find it. I did recognize one of the pink umbrellas as my secondary umbrella though, and I took that one instead, although I remarked that I didn’t remember bringing this one here with me.
• Lastly, I started to build a spreadsheet with the names of people who would be going home via public transit, noting down their names and how they got here, in order to help out with making sure that no one was left behind.

• I was messing around in some friendly PvP with Jah in a top-down game that was inspired by Half Life 2. It was an immersive simulator game and we had control of boats inside a canal maze and were peppering each other with shots.
• There was a multiple server system where we could join semi-public servers with the chance of meeting other random players, which we initially did, though they mostly left us alone. Eventually, some of Jah‘s friends from his former LotRO kinship came online, and we swapped to a 5-player coop RPG dungeon based on Left 4 Dead 2 instead.
• We were also going to mess around in PvP mode in that game, however one of Jah‘s friends mentioned that he had not completed the PvE dungeon yet, so Jah suggested that we might as well do that instead while we had the numbers, and everyone else agreed.
• Characters were locked to certain classes, and I took the backup healer character, which was a lady with a raven-haired portrait, and slotted a sub-skill from a golden-haired man that reminded me of a lion as that skill gave me a backup rez. The new player took the main healer role and also used the raven-haired lady, but specced a different way that gave her less DPS and more support. It was noted that we both needed kills on a particular type of monster for our class and that we needed to be aware and split them properly.
• The PvE map mode had foggy weather as we explored the first zone, and I remember that the first monster we killed dropped a nice +6/+6 hit chance and damage bow that I didn’t want at first as my current character could not use a bow, but I eventually decided to keep it to help gear out one of my alternate characters.

• I visited the house of an indie band member with Dad. The house was rather stylish looking from the outside, with a front door made of dark wood, but that front door was also blocked by a pile of packages and we weren’t sure how to get in. As we stood there though, a wall on the left side slid open and the guy who owned the house beckoned us in. Dad and I were surprised at the secret door and the three of us had a good laugh as we entered.
• Once in the house, we were on the person’s ground floor studio area of the three-storey house. There were six rooms in all, three round rooms stacked on top of each other on one side and three rectangular rooms stacked on top of each other on the other side, with a staircase connecting each floor in the middle area of the house. There was no first or second floor ceiling in the middle area so from there, we could see up to the third floor ceiling as well as all six rooms.
• He had four speakers or sensors or something similar set up through the house, each one governing a different part of the house — one covered the 3rd floor round room and the stairs outside of it, one covered the 2nd and 1st floor round rooms, one covered the 2nd and 3rd floor rectangular rooms, and the other covered the 1st floor rectangular room and the other staircase. This was important somehow and I had scouted all this out in advance, though it never became plot-relevant as far as I recall.
• I also had a plane trip overseas at 7:30 or 7:45 pm, and thus had to leave for the airport at 6:30 or 6:45 pm. The time in the dream was around 6:10 pm or so, so I didn’t have much time left.
• While we were at the house though, Dad chatted up the band member as they stood in the first floor rectangular room. I went toward the other first floor room, which was a studio, and located at the bottom of the stairs was an alcove with the band member’s computer on it.
• Mart had seen a couple of the band’s music videos online and had been asking about acquiring a copy of their songs, so one of my goals was to see if I could get that while here. The band had two singles, both of them with one-word titles and one of them starting with C, though neither word was a real dictionary word.
• In the studio, I looked through their hard drive, nothing that he had a bunch of folders named after fan nicknames, most of them with pictures that he had taken of them when they came to visit him. For the fans who had bought some sort of database access, there was also a text file with their decryption key in the corresponding folder, or else a digital copy of the songs that they had acquired.
• Most of the pictures in the folder were of female fans in their early 20s, though there were a couple guys as well, one with frazzled hair and a lightning bolt-shaped tuft sticking out above his head that was as tall as the guy himself. There was also a young girl, perhaps around 10, and I felt like maybe they shouldn’t have retained that photo.
• I realized that I had seen many of the photos before — they were used as a montage near the end of one of their music videos. I also noticed that there was a Dizzypixie folder with a picture of me in it, in my red Dunman High PE shirt. I had taken this picture with them earlier in the dream without realizing that they might use it in their music video eventually.

• Snippet: I was testing out combat mechanics on a monk character and found out that my “flying poke” skill was mitigated not only if the character had a physical defence spell active on them, but also if they have a magical defence one, which surprised me.
• Snippet: I was waiting on an apartment staff member to get back to me with an answer to a question I gave him, but he never did, so I took some time to go walking around the apartment complex area instead. This looked very much like the Yishun 799 void deck area, and I passed by some teenagers heading the other way as I walked past pillars and communal mailboxes. I also ran into the staff member who was helping out another lady, and he told me that he hadn’t gotten back to me yet because I was out and about anyway. I told him that I only went out because he hadn’t replied to me yet and that I was tired of waiting, not the other way around.

• Snippet: I stayed in a room with three solid walls, and a fourth half-built wall which separated my room from a busy restaurant. I went to the restaurant to sit down and eat with some friends, and we listened to a guy tell a story as we ate. I don’t remember the content of the story but it was fairly engaging, enough so that I returned to the table to hear the conclusion of the story after clearing my food tray when I was done. Later on I went back to a similar looking room as the one I started in, except all four walls were built this time and there was a telephone in the middle of the room.
• Snippet: Someone mentioned that there was a newly-promoted soccer team in the EPL which was doing very well, they sat atop the league table and their lead extended this week after the second placed team lost to someone else. I had never heard of the team before but their name consisted of a single word starting with M. They were on track to win this year’s league trophy as a newcomer to the league, which had never happened before.

• A group of friends were gathering in a backstage studio room in a building. They were all minor celebrities of some kind, with one of them in particular being a guy with a trimmed mustache and beard that played a female VTuber online. He was also apparently in the middle of producing a DJCD, which in my dream referred to a CD whose content, like music, drama, or pictures, was inadvertantly produced as a byproduct of creating another type of media.
• Although they were friends, the relationship between him and the others were a little awkward because of his cross-gender role and because they didn’t really know how to react to that. He was first to the studio and was changing behind a shower curtain when the others arrived, and one of his brash guy friends tried to reach through the curtain to grope him playfully, he got annoyed at this and shooed him off.
• One of his female friends pointed out a poster on the wall and mentioned how it sometimes flickered to show the plain wall beneath it. That poster was made of a new technology and it was meant to work with whatever was underneath it to create a blended dual-layer poster as parts of the paper would randomly grow translucent and then turn back to opaque again, but most people apparently never realized this and just pasted it on a blank wall, wasting its potential. She also mentioned that sometimes you could get a glimpse of weird stuff under the poster that the person who put up the poster had tried to hide.
• This entire group of friends had gathered for a Dungeons and Dragons style game campaign in real life, except instead of sitting around a table, the Dungeon Master brought them from room to room in the building as they walked around, since the building was a 1-1 replica of what their characters saw in the game. There was no actual fighting required, they still rolled dice for that as needed, but they did have to solve some environmental puzzles in the real life building to let their characters progress in the campaign.

• Snippet: A construction worker or city worker came by my apartment to try to arrange a date to renovate it. He was going door to door to arrange dates for the neighbourhood, and I was okay with whichever date was left over as I had no burning need for it to be on any particular day. We went to another person’s house and he said the same thing to the lady who answered the door, and the lady requested next Monday. He said that that was fine, but that she needed to sign a few forms to finalize it and they legally were not allowed to sign it at the front door, so he stepped into the house and they signed those forms about ten feet inside the house, still visible from outside the front door where I stood.
• Snippet: I was playing an MMO with ElanaOrama and around three mutual friends. We were all in the same physical room too, and were chatting with each other as we played. The game started in some fantasy world but ended up with a couple of us flying out of Earth’s atmosphere into outer space so that we could peer at a star without the atmosphere causing the star to glimmer and twinkle, while being careful not to go past the Moon’s orbit as we would be out of Earth’s gravity field and into the vast blackness of space there.
