Nov 03 2018

• I was in some sort of real time combat MMO featuring character classes. There was also a crafting system, as well as a housing system where blocks were placed in a 3D grid, similar to MapleStory 2.
• I had built an outdoor house with couch and furniture next to the walls of some other building. Satinel and Jahandar had both built farms out in the open next to each other, Jah had his on some jigsaw puzzle mats so it was easy to lift up and carry it around. I realized that I had forgotten, and had no real space to include, a logical farm without some serious rearranging.
• Satinel and Jah were both rearing mounts and creatures. Both had a chicken cage placed down like in ArcheAge. The chicken cages would spawn little baby chickens that would wander within a 4 square radius of the cage. Other creatures were then reared nearby, and when hungry, would wander over and eat one of the chicks, and the cage would then spawn a new one over time. This part was exactly like the food source in Dungeon Keeper or War for the Overworld.
• Later, I had a special mode of transport by combining mounts. I had a bicycle that let me pedal and was also riding a pegasus that let me fly at the same time, and I could steer in the air by kicking my legs sort of like swimming.
• I was on the opposite side of the map with Ronnie and we needed to get to the rest of the guild that was going to kill a dragon boss. There were 7 of them, and we could see their dots on the map. I told Ronnie that I’d give him a ride and to hop on my vehicle. Otherwise he was just going to take a slow taxi. It was a bit slow moving but since I could fly and pedal we bypassed lots of obstacles.
• On the way there, we noticed that our guild members were no longer going to fight the dragon. Either they had already killed it or they had a change of plans. They were now heading northeast so we followed them in the air. We passed some cheap roadside coffee shops, and then crossed above and over some wide overhead bridges and terrain that reminded me of Singapore. We had to dodge lots of zombies along the way, that were former construction workers and could be found around or under the void deck of buildings.
• Finally we caught up to the rest of our guild. They had used the roof of an apartment building as a gathering point. They marvelled at the mode of transportation that I had cobbled together with the bicycle and pegasus.
• We then moved to the top of a nearby pyramid and someone made a speech that basically said that this was the final boss and we needed to defeat it to ensure peace. Each level of the pyramid had powerful alien overlords in it. The top level had 1, the next tier had 3, then 9, and so on. He said no one had been even into the 3rd tier for the past 25 years.
• All in all it was a rather small pyramid though, like a blocky Minecraft creation. He was also speaking rather loudly to the group and I was afraid that the aliens might be listening in.
• I shifted into astral psionic mode with one of the other guild members, a tall man, and we tried to coordinate together and get in sync. This took several tries, and consisted of us both spinning and orbiting each other in concentric circles. We had to align up and stand still in that area as part of the plan to get into the pyramid.
• When we finally did, some astral zombies came by and latched on to us, threatening to immobilize and kill us both. He managed to reach down and disconnect me from my astral psionic mode, sending me back to reality. This meant he was fine too after that. Either that or we loaded the game or rewound time. I recognized that this astral psionic part had happened before in a previous dream, although not the alien overlord bit.
• We tried the syncing again, and this time, knowing what was coming, we managed to do something to avoid the astral monsters. I’m unsure exactly what but the dream ended soon after with a wave of satisfaction.

Nov 04 2018

• Kel and I were playing a game modelled after Gloomhaven, but in first person and 3D. There were mini adventures with connected plotlines that branched out, and we could do them in any order. Each adventure gave loot as well as increasing or decreasing the campaign’s prosperity and personal wealth scores, similar to Gloomhaven. We did 7 or 8 at least, with my sister keeping tally of the quests and writing a summary on a piece of paper.
• One of the adventure chains had us going out into space and visiting a derelict space station to find a business tycoon knight and his squire, Angela. We found Angela by the ruined front desk of the station, looking like she was standing in front of a locked gate, arms crossed. But she was quite dead, with old matted blood all over the gate and walls and a disappointed look on her face.
• The knight businessperson came out and welcomed us. He said that he had found that his business competitor had planted a chip into Angela‘s brain that allowed him to spy on the knight and learn his secrets. He was quite angry about his competitor’s shady business practices.
• Another earlier adventure had us visit a river in the middle of some newly settled land and help the villagers by laying down some pipelines in the river to connect two water processing plants or some other weird machines that were sticking out of the water. The two machines had to be connected to each other underwater, via the very bottom of each machine.
• I dived down and laid the pipes quite quickly, it was a grid-based system so the moment I laid each pipe in the right square, it automatically connected with the machine and/or the neighbouring pipes.
• I had to “move” an on/off switch from the right machine because it was jutting out of the bottom of the machine. I moved it so it was still connected to the bottom square but was coming out the right face of the cube instead of the bottom face of the cube.
• Snippet: I think there were separate dreams in a residential flat too, that involved Dad.

Nov 05 2018

• My family and I were on a school campus looking for a good place to have lunch. We went over toward a building that seemed to be the student union building. It was the one on the left side of one of my recurring dream campuses, two stories tall, that hosted Chinese exams in previous dreams. Jon was with us and noted that we had looked around here before but they didn’t seem to have very good food choices.
• We did find a canteen in the back of the building though and settled down to order. Jon and I were slightly ahead of our parents and Kel, who were coming to eat with us too, so we sat down first after I grabbed a chair from the neighbouring table so we had room for 5 when they arrived.
• We were carrying 3 grocery bags from a previous dream event. I noted that it was initially 4 bags, but someone must have combined 2 of them, or we had lost one somewhere or something. I did check to see if something was lost but everything seemed to be there. Dad had one, Kel had one, and I had one. I placed mine down upon the spare chair.
• Later on after lunch, we returned to the car that we had come here in. We found it was now undrivable because Dad, in his infinite wisdom, had drilled some percussion cymbals down into the floor of the car, under the front left driver’s front seat, because he had become tired of it sliding backwards as he drove. The end result of that was that the drill had hit some part of the driving mechanism that ran under the floor of the car, so the acceleration and brake pedals no longer worked.
• We had to rent a truck, and someone who was not part of our group suggested that we tune the radio in to a certain frequency. We tuned it just in time to hear a station jingle that this was Classic 98.7 FM. That person told us that this radio channel was also the channel used for truckers and people trying to hitchhike, to communicate with each other by leaving messages, and also let us hear in on police chirpers and such. He mentioned that he knew someone who had used it for over 30 years, but then Dad said something along the lines of not trusting someone who had been trapped in that kind of job for 30 years, as it signified something or other, and everyone including the recommending person agreed.
• The dream then shifted. At one point, I was playing a turn-based game with a grid map, and a rather big character party. We were lining up and taking turns to move.
• Later on, I was playing a different grid-based, turn-based game. This time I had troops and transports. I loaded the troops onto four transports and they became special units that could attack on their own. I guided the four transports into gates to reach the objective. I was playing against someone else who had the same objective, so it was a matter of who got there with their troops first.
• Among my troops, I had 12 skeletons and a giant spider; I left 6 and the spider to guard a building outside the first gate, which was providing me and my empire with an important resource like power or population or something, similar to holding a resource producer in an RTS game. The other 6 skeletons went onto one of my transports. These troops were just a small portion of my total troops. The gates were timed once I opened them and so the transports let me get everyone through quickly.
• The dream then shifted again. In another portion of the dream, possibly connected to the first part, I was still with my family, and we were checking out of a hotel.
• Kel was taking her own sweet time packing so I helped her. There were a lot of plushies, most of them were ours but three or four of them were the hotel’s. There were some pink rabbits and a weird-coloured giraffe. I put them all in the suitcase to bring home anyway. Kel didn’t notice me do that.
• There was a bag of garbage which may have been from a dream 1-2 days ago, at the back of the pile of stuff to pack. We just took it out with us to toss away on the way out.
• When we reached home I went straight to bed but it was only 10pm or so, and I couldn’t sleep, I heard Kel talking outside my room and left my bed to go out and help her unpack. I also reclaimed my plushies from the suitcase, and I showed Sis the plushies that I had annexed from the hotel room too.
• There was also a portion of the dream where someone I was with wasn’t going to go to a school-related sporting event because he was late and he knew they stopped allowing people in after some time. He was supposed to be there but was basically playing hooky. I convinced him that they would eventually close the gates but he should go and try anyway as they didn’t do so immediately, it was only half an hour or so past the start time out of the full two to three hours, and that I’d travel there with him.

Nov 06 2018

• I had a dim memory of a dream about germ types and nurses with different types of germ disease, and trading them with each other, and some sort of PSA about it or how to avoid doing it.
• In another dream section, I was registered for a competition with a guy partner and we were competing against 10-20 other teams. We had an overhead view of a large ice continent and had to pick a spot along its coast to journey to. It was sort of a survival game in that we had to survive there by gathering firewood and fishing for food, but since it was entirely top-down, our actions were also all automatic to some degree.
• The object of the game was twofold – firstly, we weren’t allowed to use three particular debuffs, stuff like bleed, plague, and something else. Secondly, we periodically earned points based on how far away we were from our closest neighbours, as in any other team in our vicinity. The more isolated we were, the more points we would get each tick.
• We let every other team head off from the center to the edges first, as we could see everyone’s locations on the map, and very quickly we got a notification that another team had already been disqualified after setting up a wooden hut and campfire.
• We then headed up into the northeast corner and set up camp there. I had to constantly remind myself and my partner that debuffs were illegal and not to accidentally use skills that added them as an effect. Teams started to drop like flies, though there were still 2-5 others or so alive at the end of the game. We finished second overall, a team in the bottom left corner won.
• We decided the game was silly because it was very heavily weighted toward luck, as in which teams around you got disqualified and thus increased the number of points you got for being isolated even though you could go visit and use their abandoned camps.
• In another dream section, Sandy was talking about bitcoin and he talked about having mentioned the price to everyone when Tyler P joined our team at work, and that we should have bought it then when he said so. Tyler vehemently disagreed and I pulled up the chat history from email so they could see the price now and price then.
• The price was definitely a lot higher, with one extra digit than before, but Tyler pointed out a number that showed the actual return you’d get on it at once, and it was a really low number that started with 0.00. Sandy disagreed back and said he paid his rent with bitcoin now and that he got a 10% discount on it from the landlord by paying that way.
• I left the two of them arguing and went to the bathroom to get changed and have a shower, but I soaked my old clothes and my phone and had to quickly dry the phone before it would turn on again.
• Jon had passed by while I was trying to dry the phone, and because that action was silent, he didn’t hear me inside the bathroom nor peek into the ajar door and just switched off the light. I peered out after the phone was fixed and said hi to him as he was still sitting nearby on the bed doing something. He said hi back.

Nov 07 2018

• Returning alone from a plane trip at an airport, I went off to do some other things at the airport after landing, including some paperwork at an airport desk with a staff member. I realized after some time that I had not collected my checked luggage from the rotating carousel yet. I was so momentarily panicked by this that I jerked awake.
• Later on, I was playing what I remember as a gambling game from a previous dream while travelling on a moving vehicle. This game had a top-down grid map with hidden passages in the walls everywhere. The walls were made of white blocks or bricks. I pulled open the walls with someone else to find hidden passages, and there were dice hidden inside some of them that we could then use. One of them had a large die which was actually a container that contained a bunch of smaller dice packed inside.
• Jah was around and reminiscing with Rin, he was trying to find out the name of an old employee of his business to whom an old yellow bird plushie belonged to. We had just found the plushie in the area we were in. I eventually found the employee for him by looking through some old payment chit for his company. It was Michelle something, an Asian name.
• He said that they had assigned all employees one plushie in the past and they had used it to play some sort of game with them.
• We may have been in a vehicle, or may have been watching someone use one, and Jah said that he could control them remotely or let the person who rented the vehicle control them, which he said was better. He said that people would rent them for all sorts of things, like going to pick up their kid from daycare.
• Rin was travelling around between cities as usual. I told him to come visit Edmonton someday.

Nov 08 2018

• I got to knock unconscious and rob, among other things, a bus of hockey players, a quarter-full plane of passengers, and a number of military guards. It played out like a typical stealth game, where I crept up behind someone, strangled them to render them unconscious, and then pulled out their generic brown wallet. In the wallet I would find a generic amount of money, from $1-$100.
• But I also realized that the contents of the wallet mirrored the contents of the person’s wallet in real life. So the brown wallet and the money was simulated, however the credit cards and various other things they kept in the wallet were copied over to the game for realism purposes. So I started looking closer at the cards and found all sorts of things — a big pile of ID cards, multiple $100 vouchers to Starbucks, pieces of paper with what seemed like credit card PINs written on it, etc.
• I was taking too long to rob some military guards at some point and they started to stir again so I had to knock them out again.
• I had played some of this game before, so I knew that there was a checkpoint inside a hollowed out hill with two guards, and a road leading to them, and I knew that really quickly there would be a patrol of three guards or so coming out the right side toward me, and then a few moments later one guard on an all-terrain vehicle, and then that would be it. So I waited for them to go by and then snuck in and knocked out the stationary guards.
• For the plane scene, I was robbing the place with 6 other friends, and I had to knock out some of the passengers when I noticed they were still conscious and huddling cause they were scared. We weren’t sure if the objective asked us to knock them out or not until one of the others said to do so.
• There was a piece of thread snagged on and hanging from the ceiling of the plane, and one of them pointed out that that was from my shirt, and he said that I had left that there from the last time we had done this. I didn’t remember ever doing this part before, nor did I remember snagging my shirt there, but he seemed pretty convincing.

Nov 09 2018

• Snippet: I was in HUB Mall and having a one on one meeting with Ronnie, reporting in on the past week or so. James was also there. For some reason, even though we were all at the same table, Ronnie wanted me to text him everything instead of talk about it. There seemed to be an air of resentment there between us too, though I was unsure why.
• Snippet: Mom, Dad, and I were at a train station operating a train control booth, while also waiting for the trains. I had $9 or so in my purse which was good because I needed $8.40 as fare for the train I wanted to take.
• We noticed the train communication system in the booth wasn’t attached properly while we were there, so Dad told us how to fix it. There was a little machine about the size of a telephone affixed to the wall below the window, and we had to pull out a walkie talkie on a cord from both the left and right sides of the machine and attach/slot it into a wall holder about a foot away on either side of the machine.
• Snippet: We were outside a LotRO instance and asked the guild to see who wanted to run it. I was there as an overlevelled healer, we had an overlevelled tank too, and two people more on level that wanted to run it. There were a couple other people in the guild that were there but didn’t want to run it. The instance was ice-based, and had multiple parts to it, chained one after the other. I warned that with our group we could maybe only finish the first one. We went in and someone pulled the first group right to the door, they were little plants with angry faces and lots of AOE attacks so the other two people besides me and the tank immediately died. We pulled through, though.
• Snippet: This one might have been connected to the train station fragment earlier. Nearby to where I and a few others were, we had a tall indoors open area and about 3 or 4 stories up was a balcony with cameras pointing out left and right, but not down. One of us, or someone else below with us, would bring something in, jump onto a bouncy patch on the ground level wall that looked like some repulsion gel from Portal 2, and use that to propel themselves upwards, at which point they would throw the something up onto the balcony.
• At some point, the something was someone that we all disliked, and once they landed up there, they realized what was happening and took a third video camera from their pocket and attached it there, pointing downwards. That was fine with us because we were also considering tossing a camera up there to try to get it to record us doing our stunts.
• Snippet: A small goblin character was walking by an underpass below a pedestrian road bridge when the people there started screaming and running away. The goblin also turned and ran, not realizing at first that he or she was the reason they were screaming and running, as people saw a goblin and got scared, until the narrator told him or her so.
• The goblin then ran up a slope or some stairs and adjusted her disguise before heading to a hawker centre not far from there. For some reason, due to the commotion or something else, most of the food stalls in the hawker centre had lowered their food prices so nearly every dish was on sale for 30 cents each, with a couple things on the far right side being on sale for 20 cents.

Nov 10 2018

• There were aliens or robots that could turn people into demons or zombies or just outright kill them, in a way that was similar to Tales of Berseria.
• The scene zoomed in on a middle aged man living with his wife and kids in a house. He found a tiny pulsating red egg, and sold it to a grocer which was set up in an open space next to his house. The aliens or robots came and melted his family for that in order to convert them into something. But they left him and the grocer alone. He became seething mad at this, although when he left the house and went to the grocer next door to buy back the egg, the aliens scanned him but could not sense any defiance at all.
• The neighbour on the other side of his house from the grocer offered him their vehicle to use for his revenge. He saved the game, then drove to and stood by a radio tower. This caused damage to it after a few seconds, which aggroed all the aliens or robots nearby on him and his vehicle, the latter because it started taking damage somehow. He was stunlocked and killed but then loaded the game.
• Snippet: I was in a packed room and completing a math test or quiz. I did really well, and was one of the first to finish. The person next to me was trying to get hints from me because he was stuck, and I was trying to send him hints, but after I completed the test I had to go to the other side of the room. He eventually said that he’d just take the test home, or skip the test and take extra tuition instead, I’m not sure which.
• Snippet: There was also a scene where for some reason I was slightly mad at Kel and had to open a display case, take out all my plushies from it, including Tigey and Cruiser, and then rearrange them in the case so they were all in appropriate spots. There were rows of white circular spots in the case for the plushies to roughly sit depending on size, though realistically there were a lot more plushies than dots so a lot of animals would have to squeeze in between them. I had Kel change the radio station while I was doing so. It may have been part of what she had done wrongly and I had been mad with her for.

Nov 11 2018

• Snippet: I was playing some kind of a realm management game. The prince ordered some of his minions to do something, but while he was gone from the land, the replacement zombie caretaker of the prince’s land held back a couple other zombies with the highest intelligence because the prince had given orders to send them all out and left none for defence.
• Later there was a scene upon a train, where I was invisible and used my powers to stealth through the train looking for something. Once we were at a station, I stealthed out and onto a neighbouring bus as well. I’m not even sure I was looking for something as opposed to just practicing staying invisibility at this point and avoiding the people on the train and bus.
• But then the train left without me and I still had some things on it, so I had to go to the bus driver and tell him that I had left some things on the train and to please ask the conductors at my actual final train stop (University Station, 2 or 3 stations down the track) to collect my items for me. They wanted me to answer some sort of quiz question first as verification. The answer to the question turned out to be a monster NPC named after the creator of the Sims. I didn’t know the answer but the bus driver gave me hints, and then eventually just told me the answer.

Nov 12 2018

• I was somehow teleporting back and forth between three theatres. I was with two others but they didn’t travel with me whenever I teleported.
• Different things were being done at each theatre. One had a play going on. In another, we were painting the inside with colours and flowers. The third was by the side of a road and was playing music on a radio. There were a bunch of people at each.
• There was a global clock running and counting down toward the “end of day”, at which time I and the other two would go back to our homes. We were trying to pass the time effectively. The “day” was divided into two periods — the morning before lunch, and the afternoon after lunch. 5pm or 6pm was the end of day.
• The flower theatre was multi-levelled and I could plant three different types of flowers. One of the types was a small blue flower. There was someone asking people to plant more.
• There was a bathroom with a bunch of stalls to the side of the one putting on a play that I visited. Several girls from work that I knew were at that theatre, although I think I knew people at all three theatres. I had watched a white car pull up to this theatre through a security camera. We had suspected that the driver was involved with the mafia. But he got out of the car, picked the car up by the front, turned it vertical so the back trunk was facing down, and shook it. A disabled guy slid out of the back window into a wheelchair. He then pushed the wheelchair in to the theatre.
• There was a song or two from the music one that my friends wanted to remember, they noted down the song to bring home and add to a playlist. Somehow when I was there I had some sort of freeform control over the song that the “radio” would play but I don’t remember the details.
• I remember we were really satisfied once we reached home as we had spent the day in an unconventional way but had split up our time in such a way as to be super effective at something. We wanted to do the same the next day.
• Snippet: There was something about me being recommended to be the office manager at work.
• Snippet: I wanted to talk to a green-shirted robot android on an airplane, but she left the plane before me. I rushed out and took the stairs down and waited in the lobby of the airport. The androids were all taking the elevator instead of the stairs because of how they were programmed, so I knew she was still behind me somewhere, so I waited for her. But she never appeared. Someone else was also waiting to speak to that robot android and eventually became anguished, she said that the green-shirted robot had entered the elevator at the bottom but not exited it at the top, so she must have gotten recycled along the way for being defective.
• Snippet: I also had a dream snippet about catching two criminals, as they chased me and a female friend. We were on a cruise boat but had to take a smaller sailboat to shore. They chased us in a biplane or larger boat or something. But there were so many witnesses that once we reached shore, lots of police were there to help. One of the criminals was made out of five dogoos, from Neptunia. Nak was fighting a powerful T-Rex nearby by hiding in a crack in the wall where it couldn’t reach him, and shooting it with dual pistols. That criminal scared it away while running off and Nak was pissed.
• Snippet: Lastly, there was something about assembling and ordering a character’s skill list. It was made up of skills with 3-4 word names.

Nov 13 2018

• Snippet: I was playing a cat and mouse game with white wolves and other animals on the northern edge of some map I was on. The white wolves were the least dangerous of the things I faced.
• Snippet: There was a strong theme of travelling to an overseas place, although most of this dream snippet took place after I had arrived, rather than the actual airplane trip that had apparently featured in my dreams on the previous few nights. There was also a slight theme of skipping school or work for this trip. I also remember attending a presentation by a guest lecturer at the destination, although I do not fully remember the theme. It might have been something about stacking numbers.
• At the very end of this dream, I asked Satinel to take a trip overseas with me to some place, as I hadn’t enjoyed my last trip to South Korea as much while alone. She said it was a waste of money though.

Nov 14 2018

Dream 1

• Earlier: Our family was planning to move and Dad was helping someone build our new house. In order to do so, he cut a cubic hole out of our house carpet, about 1 foot long and wide, and also deep somehow, to bring over to the new house so the person could see how much carpet to put in.
• I asked why they needed the height as well and why they could not just have the carpet at floor level, but received no satisfactory answer.
• Jon, Kel, and I were leaned up against some side cupboards next to the door waiting for Dad to return. He’d return now and then and ask us to move a little so he could get something from the cupboards behind us. Eventually a couple strangers came in and sat down with us too.
• Snippet: There was something about meeting someone at a Japanese-sounding street name, something similar to Kurogawa Street.

Dream 2

• There was a radio ad asking people to send letters to Santa who needed rescue from a shipwreck and was trapped on an island, except he wasn’t really trapped and it was actually a marketing ploy. A girl in the USA tried to send the letter, but it was bounced back by the post office of the receiving country in confusion. This turned out to be because she had no way of knowing the proper address and postal code of Santa’s home in the Arctic.
• Apparently some children did get their letters through, but there were 12 letters from children, including hers, that got bounced back. She wondered why her dad couldn’t help more, as he was working with the USA post office.

Dream 3

• There was a food and game museum and I was somehow viewing it both in present time and past time at the same time.
• In the “past” version of the museum, A couple hosts from Giant Bomb were being given an interview tour of the place by a game developer, and they were outside in a garden. There was a long meeting where he talked about the history of a game or some early game levels that he worked on. A pair of novice gaming journalists were in line waiting to join the tour but they were told to take a number and come back. They were number 86 in line.
• A game or exhibit in the museum involving eating food pairs, where there was a choice of a dozen or so “first foods” that would each then unlock a different “second food” that the person then had to eat.
• In the “present” version of the museum, there was a well-dressed couple who seemed like they were from nobility. They visited the museum together with other people. The guy was some sort of rotund gentleman who may have been wearing a top hat. He started uncontrollably laughing out loud, this was part of a plan to lure the owner out so that his wife, a slim but older lady, could attack or do something bad to him.
• In the museum, there was a card matching game there named Cards of Loquaine.

Nov 15 2018

Dream 1

• I was playing a matching game where I had a list of available skills in a book. A random action would pop up on a screen, and I would have to pick an appropriate skill from my list to respond with, which would put the skill on cooldown.
• A new round in the game was started, with slightly changed rules and a new character. My new character was a flamboyantly-dressed foreign student. Her colour palette was what I thought of as “angry”. The changed rules meant I had to go to a bus terminal and look or wait for a special bus, as an additional objective for extra points.
• I had to cross a glass-encased overhead bridge near the bus terminal twice — once then and once earlier in the dream, possibly in the last iteration of the game. Both times, as I walked across, a random guy walking the other way suddenly produced a huge rock the size of a cantaloupe, and flung it at my head with both hands, as I passed him. However, his aim was terrible both times and it flew past me as I flinched but didn’t dodge. It smashed into the glass side of the walkway.
• Someone behind me and off-camera yelled to the man that he had to spin the rock as he was throwing it, for more accuracy.
• This second time, I took off and ran for the far end of the overhead walkway, past the doors, as I knew it would take him a few seconds to “reload” the rock. Probably by picking it up and throwing it again, but I didn’t stop to check.
• Somehow, I knew that the area past the doors were safe. I got through the door, and then a second later, one of the glass panels next to the door smashed and turned into flying glass fragments as the rock smashed into it. Thankfully he missed me again. Since I was safe I just walked on from here, though, as the encounter was considered to be over.
• The bus terminal was at the bottom of the overhead walkway, similar to Southgate Mall, except turned lengthwise so the buses entered the terminal area from far to near and not right to left or left to right. Just like Southgate, there was also an indoor mall next to the terminal. The bus didn’t come for a bit, and I was agitated as I sensed it was getting dangerous.
• The camera then shifted to me, the brightly dressed student, walking past a car. Through the car window, I saw a man with a machine rifle pass by on the other side of the road, and he then crossed to my side. The camera then shifted to me turning a corner into the mall, and the man following behind me. I could view the scene through that camera and thus was aware that he was after me.
• The camera then shifted once again to me passing by a security guard somewhere further into the mall. The man then came into view, and the security guard looked at him and his gun. They both raised their weapons at the same time, and shot each other.
• In the ensuing commotion, I was thinking I should stay and wait for the police to give my report as I had somehow seen all that had happened through the dream camera, but I decided I needed to leave the area because it was still dangerous.

Dream 2

• I was part of a group of superheroes, but we all had different visions so we weren’t working as a unified team. We were all holed up in a hotel room, but we could travel to another alternate dimension while in there. However, we were talking about what we wanted to do before we did so. We were all good-aligned, but there were different ways of achieving the same goals and we were disagreeing on how to do so, with two in favour of using a quick method, two wanting to take it slow, and four of us in the middle.
• The guy in the pair that wanted to do it quick was convinced by the girl pair who was exchanging lovey-dovey kisses with him on his lips. We disagreed with htem and disapproved of the seduction, but let them continue anyway, and after we went to the alternate dimension, they charged off on their own to do their own thing, despite us asking them to stop and talk with us.
• We couldn’t wait long enough for the pair that had left to return before we returned to the main world, so we left their corporeal bodies in the hotel room on the bed while we went away.
• We had some chicken from KFC, splitting a box of six amongst four of us six. They called it the 2-2-2 Special or something. Two of the neutrals, a pair of girls named Emyla and Scylla or something close to that, said they’d join us next time as they already had some sweet tea to drink instead.
• At one point the hotel room was also represented in a top down grid, and there was a game scene where I had to do things in a certain order to achieve some goal, possibly involving summoning something. The objective involved setting fire to one of the side rooms and have it spread to the door before putting it out.
• I basically had to corral the other 6-8, who were NPCs in this mode, and put them under direct control because I could only light certain squares on fire. The squares within a 2-square radius of the door were immune to directly being set on fire and I had to let it spread there, but the NPCs on their own would just put the fire out if I let them be autonomous, so corraling them was my answer.
• There was also something about getting onto a crowded train with a couple of them, and how while talking to them I found out that they weren’t getting paid for their superhero gig because they had set up their “will” (which represented game settings) wrongly, and they had to explicitly set a selection box to Money, instead of Love or Vote, in order to get money. I learnt that Vote would get them a reminder to vote during the next election, but I didn’t learn what the Love option did.
• I had to repeat this scene a couple times as one of the heroes was a magical creature that kept falling onto a burning crucible and then onto the train tracks, and despite that he still was fine but couldn’t climb back up to the train again. I think everytime we tried the scene the people there with me were different.
• Once we were on the train, I met two teachers I used to know, one was Mrs Douziech, but instead of teaching Grade 12 English Literature, she now taught Grade 9 Science, and she looked a lot older. She didn’t recognize me after my transition, but asked permission to gently poke me on my skin to touch it and commented how soft it was.
• The other teacher was not someone from real life but had been on an in-game newspaper report, so I recognzied her from earlier in the dream sequence. She and Mrs Douziech were exchanging pleasantries and teaching techniques.

Nov 16 2018

• University classes had a phone app that teachers could add students to for communication. I got added by a popular teacher to his class’s app because I had either attended a talk that he was doing or had gone to see one class or something, so I started receiving friend requests from other people in that class too. I told the teacher over the app that I was not part of his class as it clashed with work on Thursdays, although it looked like I was considering it for next semester. He then removed me and I deleted the friend requests one by one.
• There was a transgender class that I signed up for that I had apparently done before, it was done to prepare you for the transgender journey and for the final surgery. I told the two lady teachers that I wanted to give back to the community by helping guide the people in the class. Apparently when I had gone through the class before my surgery, I felt that I and the people I was with were really confused after the class because they didn’t actually cover the surgery and post-surgery recovery period, but now I would be able to talk about my experience to the current crop of students if they wanted. The teachers were grateful for that.
• I don’t remember much else except that as part of that class, everyone with super long hair had to have their hair cut until it was just past shoulder length at most.

Nov 17 2018

• I was a ship captain and had two first mates reporting to me. They each had control of one end of the ship, east and west. Both ends of the ship had an entrance that led into a giant maze where monsters wantered with JRPG-style aggro, where they would attack people that came too close.
• The dream mostly focused on the west end of the ship, where a fast food stall was set up at the western entrance to the maze.
• Most people were ordering a new dish that the stall had, and I was following suit but changed my order at the last minute as I had a coupon for a juicy burger, so I requested that instead as it was cheaper.
• I let a wheelchair-bound customer move in line ahead of me. He was originally behind me but knew the person ahead of me, and that plus his disability plus the fact that I was in no hurry meant that it was the courteous thing to do.
• Inside the maze there were orange vines and plants that I could hide behind or inside of. I went in while waiting for my food, but didn’t hide very well. Some snakes were obviously hovering around the vine I was behind cause they caught a glimpse of me and were waiting for me to emerge. I managed to run away and escape back out the exit though, where they couldn’t follow.

Nov 18 2018

• I was at a workplace meeting where most of us were in an office. I wanted to go buy lunch from the canteen downstairs and bring it up. But there were 6 of us and only 3 chairs and I didn’t want to lose my seat by leaving the room.
• The canteen also featured in an earlier scene where I was trying to decide which stall to get my food from, and to then bring the food to another room and eat it with my mother and younger brother waiting in there. I don’t think they were aware of the stalls and what exactly they sold, so I was going to settle on Hor Fun because I knew Mom would recognize it as Singaporean food and that would pique her interest.
• Later, I was playing a side view automatically scrolling minigame where I hopped onto some overhead tram carriages attached by their tops to an electric rail. The first two broke, but on the third try I found one that didn’t break. It started moving.
• When it reached the end, it fell down onto the land past the gap that it was travelling across, and I realized that it turned into a car and I could steer it up and down as it automatically travelled right. I could also speed it up and slow it down, which moved it nearer or further from the right edge of the map.
• I avoided a bunch of vehicles on the road, and eventually the game ended in a weird crash after a minute or two of driving. I think I had 1937 points, which was a pretty good score, but I thought to myself that if I had the time to do it again, now that I know how the game worked, I’d do a lot better.
• Snippet: There was also a weird dream segment about a continent map divided into provinces, each one with an optional quest that I could have worked on, but I was holding off on doing them for some reason.

Nov 19 2018

• A friend and I were visiting our school even though it was our day off from school. We took the bus there to avoid being tracked by someone.
• When we arrived I went right to the unisex toilets and secured a musty-smelling stall. The toilet flush had just been used by the person before me, a Chinese girl with short, straight hair, and it apparently only had one charge and needed a bit of time to recharge before it was able to be used again.
• The girl who had left knocked on the door a few seconds after I had locked the door, because she had forgotten something in the stall, which was a fairly big booth with a sink and some shelves, so I let her back in momentarily.

Nov 20 2018

• I took part in a D&D game in school. I don’t remember who was GM, though I know that it was someone I knew. It was a mid-level game, and we started at character level 9. I rolled a wizard, but I was unsure about all the mechanics so I had the DM look over my spells and also told the others I wouldn’t mind other spell suggestions in character, once we started playing.
• We attracted a couple onlookers, who came over and remarked that our game was more interesting than the table next to us, which had people who were running a level 8 campaign party. Our DM admitted that he had chosen level 9 as the starting point to outdo them by 1 level.
• I visited the bathroom to wash my hands before we started. Raji and another unknown lady were using PCs set on tables in the washrooms, analyzing data from a drone that was sitting outside the washroom and pointed down the hall, slightly tilted toward the wall, recording any movement down the hallway.
• Rin was around and complaining that it was difficult to get food anymore and wondering if his online food order app still worked. He hadn’t been around for some years, so I told him it had stopped working a couple years ago after the Amazon-like company that owned it had gone out of business.

Nov 21 2018

Dream 1

• This dream took place in a first-person game-school hybrid of a place. The classrooms were based around four corridors that formed a square but they weren’t equally spaced out, and the entire place felt like a mystical ruined structure.
• I was in the 2nd year class in this school. I also had magic powers, and could fly up to the top of the classrooms, and sit down on the roof with my legs dangling over the side.
• I volunteered to be kicked out of one of the classes, which were similar to guilds in an MMO, as a sacrificial scapegoat for something or other that happened earlier in the dream, even though it wasn’t really my fault and there were other people who were acting far worse than I was. Only a couple people seemed to accept, or even care about my proposal though. And though those couple people accepted my proposal and demanded explanations, which I gave, the idea about being kicked out didn’t feel like it would have any effect on the rest of the dream or game storyline, which I could feel was continuing on anyway.
• I then decided I wouldn’t bother with the kicked out part and told the people who had accepted my offer that my opinion had changed and they were the only ones that wanted me kicked out.
• There were online forum-style notice boards posted on walls outside and above the classroom roofs, and people could read them using their own apps or by physically going up there. The confession and explanation for what happened was written there, but again no one really cared about it and I didn’t care to take it down after I rescinded my scapegoat offer.
• There was also a message board post from someone recruiting for one of their classes/guilds, with an avatar picture of a cheery looking moustached man which I recognized but couldn’t quite pinpoint where it was from. It said that they had prior MMO experience and reliably had 13 members progressing to a certain point in a raid where they got to a gate and then simply didn’t have enough people to progress further.
• I was chilling in an empty classroom on the east side of the hallways, when a teacher and some students filed in. A girl sat in front of me and then began chatting me up. She was a first year Chinese girl and someone I found cute, and I felt that I definitely recognized her from somewhere, but again could not place where. She said that she knew me, and that I was in first year, but I said no, I was actually in the second year.
• She showed me a class list that she had printed out with rosters of everyone in the area. I pointed out that even though her 1st year classes were all right, ours was on a 2nd page that was listed as 2016, and since now it was 2018 I was obviously no longer in the 1st year. At least, last year was the 2016-2017 school year and now was the 2017-2018 school year, so it was early 1st year versus late 2nd year.
• Another two people in the class were snuggled up against each other, and the teacher didn’t care at first but soon afterwards frowned at them, because she noticed they had smuggled a dog in and had it snuggled between them. She told them to get rid of it.
• One of the other members of the class told me this was a first year English class for people that had flunked or hadn’t done well in English, so I left the classroom and moved on.
• I do not remembering many other details about the overall game going on or the reason for the self-scapegoating. I think I had to give up a key or similar item when I scapegoated myself though, which is why eventually I was convincing the one or two people that cared that I should get that back because it didn’t fix anything and other people had behaved much more rudely anyway. Whatever item I had given up, it felt like it would inconvenience me or stop me from participating in a game and that there was a sense of leaving a community that I wanted to avoid.
• I do remember the very end part of a game segment where I was being chased by lots of enemies of some kind, but I could fly out of their reach and they had slow animations, so as long as I kept afloat I could just attack them from the air and destroy them. There was a Tesla coil from Red Alert in the area placed on a grid-like map that belonged to the team that was chasing me, and I destroyed that too even though it could only attack ground units.
• At one point, a girl was leaning excitedly over me from my right to speak to someone in front of me, and referred to me a couple times as a him. I told her matter-of-factly that I had already transitioned for over a year and she was sheepish and extremely apologetic.

Dream 2

• We were a group going around and completing adventures and missions. Our group membership changed a fair amount, and ranged from 2 to 4 people at any given time.
• I dug up and created a small farm in the soil on the outdoor grid map in one of the missions, consisting of just one big cactus-like plant and a number of smaller ones. There were also some baby animals nearby that looked like ducklings or chicks, and I brought them into my farm to grow.
• By the time my friends came to visit, the outdoor farm was a full fledged room with walls and such. I realized that the animals had grown into friendly little animals with hedgehog-like spines or quills all around their upper body. Someone touched them tentatively and said they hurt.
• The animals were also eating or going to eat my plants, so I had to watch over them. They came and went as they pleased, and would leave during the evening to their own home. Eventually I was headed out on another adventure, so I told the a female friend chilling in the room to watch over the animals and make sure not to open the door until the animals had given up on coming back. But after a while I realized the animals were already gone anyway and I think the girl was coming along on the adventure as well, so I decided that it was safe to just leave the farm as is.
• I drove my group around on our adventure in a car. At one point we needed to change our car ride to lower suspicion, and we were discussing how best to do it. We had a house with a driveway and were talking about loading/spawning in and a nice blue car there and then transferring into that new vehicle, but someone pointed out that everyone nearby would see us changing vehicles.
• We decided to load a big trailer truck there instead, and drive our current car up and inside the truck. We’d then either drive the truck until we found a new vehicle, or change to another vehicle inside the truck and drive out from there.
• Later, one of my group members and I were running back to our car after a mission objective, and we had brought a random guy we had encountered along with us. We told him to just hop in if he wanted to come along for the ride, as we were still waiting for a third party member to return to the car but didn’t have a fourth party member. We had had four people to start, and a couple more we had picked up en route, but a couple members along the way had left too.
• A creepy old lady was circling the car checking the doors, and my female companion in the front passenger seat screamed at me to lock the doors. I locked mine and was fairly sure it was locked properly, but the old lady tried my door and it opened anyway. I was still holding on to the door handle so it didn’t open very far, and the girl and guy went out of the car to help pull the lady off the door and chase her off.

Nov 22 2018

• I had to take a bus home from my school to Mill Woods and was waiting at a bus stop for it. It felt like I had either recently disembarked the train in order to take the bus, or else the bus itself had recently changed somehow, as I had the feeling that this was a new bus on a new route. The bus stop I was waiting at had two incoming roads from the same direction to watch for the bus to arrive from.
• I had some art pages with me as homework, which I had to redo because the subject of the art assignment had recently changed, but I knew I couldn’t do it on the bus anyway because of the bumpiness of the bus on the road.
• The bus that eventually arrived was evidently a Singapore bus by the way it was laid out, with the bus driver area on the front right side of the bus. One column of bus seats that sat two people each was laid out behind it, with most of the seats facing the front but a few facing the back.
• The fee to ride the bus was $10. I gave the $10 to the bus door attendant, who was a Chinese man with a sparse moustache and went up and into the bus with the rest of the crowd, who were mostly girls.
• I also had a bus transfer ticket which I gave to the bus driver. He was confused as he pointed out it was expired. I told him I had paid the attendant already but needed a new transfer ticket and that this was my old one.
• The driver looked back at the door attendant and signalled him to check if I had paid, once everyone was up and the bus door had closed and the bus was starting to drive off. The door attendant sheepishly gestured that he wasn’t sure, and they spoke in Chinese a little bit. I felt like the bus driver referred to me as a “he”, although I knew that the words for “he” and “she” are phonically identical so even if he was, no one else would be able to tell.
• I asked him if it would be easier if I just paid the bus fare again, and he nodded yes, as the bus door attendent wasn’t sure if I had used the expired bus ticket or paid the $10 to get on.
• I didn’t mind as I just wanted to go sit down, since I also noticed the bus driver was still facing me and had his attention on me even though the bus was now moving. Besides, I noticed that I had used a $10 Canadian note to pay for it, whereas most of the other girls had used a Chinese $10 note that was actually worth about double the Canadian one. So I pulled out another double-folded Canadian $10 note from my purse and gave it to the driver, and he gave me a bus ticket.
• I then went back toward one of the double seats and noticed that there were still a lot more seats available than I had expected. I took one nearer the back which had no one directly in front of or behind me.

Nov 23 2018

• I only remember the very last scene before I woke up. I was on a ship with a few of my friends and we were fighting another ship with some villains on board. We may have needed them to retreat or challenge us in order to progress in something. We had set their ship on fire to try to starve them of oxygen so they would retreat, but for some reason they weren’t reacting to it as we thought they would.
• Their ship’s oxygen or danger level was measured in tiers, and progressing from one tier to the next required 5 ticks, each one representing a fraction of th enext tier. We had inflicted a danger tier of 2 upon them, and had 4 of the 5 ticks toward tier 3. One of my friends noted that if we added more just a bit more fire, we would achieve the 5th tick in tier 2, and therefore upgrade the danger level to tier 3 with 0 ticks.

Nov 24 2018

• I was playing LotRO, and I was visiting the Moors even though my character was a bit too low level to actually participate in PvMP. I was playing as a “good” stealthed warg, and wandering around the west side of the map, which was owned by the enemy, while looking for something. My stealth skill in the dream had a timer that I had to renew every now and then.
• I noticed an enemy warg following me around, though they seemed to lack hostile intent. Their name was something like jeskitty, whereas mine was jesskitten, so our names were very similar. I thus had the impression it was someone I knew but had no idea who it was.
• After a blue keep (Tirith Rhaw, on the east side of the map) was flipped to red by the enemy, I lost my nerve and decided it was time to leave the zone. From the middle of the map, I fled south and then east through a control point (Lumber Camp, in the south) that was also red, toward safety in the form of our side’s zone exit point in the southeast corner of the map.
• I noticed that my stealth was running out but I was near enough to safety that I decided it wasn’t a problem. It expired before I hit safety so I became visible, but I ran past a few loitering players from both sides while visible, reached the safe exit zone, and left the game.
• Soon after, I was crossing an overhead bridge with a female friend and telling her all about jesskitten and jeskitty, and I noted that I had used my name when creating the character a long time ago because I couldn’t think of any other name, even though I was a warg character, which was a canine and thus the exact opposite of a kitten.
• There was a loose tile in the bridge covering a hole that we nearly fell into. We caught onto each other to keep our balance and thankfully the tile didn’t buckle under my weight.
• I told her that there was a bridge running north to south on the west side of the Moors that was also really rundown and broken, but that one probably wouldn’t get fixed because it was supposed to be maintained by the enemy players. This one would, as it was a real life bridge, and it looked like someone had already reported the hole to maintenance.
• We headed over to either a concert or a class held in a concert hall. It seemed that we were late as the next scene of the concert hall that I saw had seats on the left that were packed and the stage on the right which was also full of people dancing in unison.
• I remembered from a previous dream that those people were hired dancers dancing to the tune of a choreographer as entertainment before the actual event though, so the concert or class had not actually started. We went to register at a table on the north side of the hall.
• It was late evening once we left the hall after the concert. I left the hall with Mom, Jon, and Kel. We took the car to a Costco and found that they were having lots of sales, and there was lots of free stuff placed in front of the store too. Mom was very happy and we took a shopping cart as well as a shopping basket to fill up.
• After rummaging through the stuff in front of the store and taking several items, we entered the actual store and went to the first shelf on the left. I was shocked to see a copy of Book 7 of the Fabled Lands gamebook there. It had been on Kickstarter earlier this year and I wasn’t sure how it had already hit retail shelves. But then my brother and mother pulled at my sleeve and told me to look at the shelf below that.
• On that bottom shelf were more copies of all the available books from the series, from Book 1 to Book 7, but there were also two manuscripts for Book 9, both by different publishers, with white paper covers instead of colourful illustrated art, since neither book had been published yet. One was very empty, with a foreword and then only one actual page with a couple annotations, whereas the other started the same but had many more printed pages after that. They were all notes on linked paragraph numbers, with a short blurb for each one, but it was not a coherent book since they still were working on other earlier books in the series. Still, it was a precious and rare find and I put the book in my shopping cart.
• Later on, at night, I went to sleep with a tribal village in a round yurt tent. But before I did, I had a premonition that nuclear bombs would be dropped on us by an opposing tribe tomorrow night.
• I tried to convince the chief that I could feel impending danger but he wouldn’t believe me. I left the tent and headed toward my own tepee tent, then came back and told him more detail about my specific feeling about the bombs, and how a maxim in war was that the war only starts when both sides crest the top of the hill and meet the other side there, which meant that one side would win if they could eliminate the other side before they could reach the battle, and that that was probably our opponent’s plan.
• The chief looked at me for a long while and then asked if attacking tomorrow during the day would be too late. I said no, that the bombs would fall tomorrow evening. He told me to go get some rest and that we would attack in the morning.
• There was also something vague about magic spells but I have no context on what.

Nov 25 2018

• Our house was a pretty open commune-style house, where anyone could wander in and out at will. Lots of people lived around there, including family, workmates, and friends.
• Suddenly, some gunmen burst in and asked us all to sit down on the sofas in the living room. They took over my bedroom and the computer there and waved their guns around threateningly, although no shots were fired. There were 4 of them in all, 2 men, and 2 boys. There were about 12-15 of us, though most of us were children to young adults.
• Over the next couple days, we were kept out of the bedroom but allowed to move around within and outside a certain radius of the house itself, to go throw out the garbage, cook meals, eat, and so on.
• The power flickered now and then, and I realized it was due to my computer. I figured that they must be heavily taxing it, which implied that they were mining bitcoin on that computer.
• Later that night, I started looking for help, as I knew no one else in the house would do so. In particular, I thought of my workmates, and how they were super reluctant to write things down. I texted the local police station as well as some other entity. At this point I noticed that the town had a 6-letter name, which was also part of the name of the police force. The second number didn’t answer, but I had texted that things were spicy at my house and gave them some details about the quasi-hostage situation.
• I received a text the next morning from the local police station asking what location things were spicy at. I told them about the gunmen and gave them the address, and I told them I’d leave the front door unlocked so they’d know they had the right house.
• One of the boys of the house was socializing with his girlfriend just outside the house and near the front door, and I signalled for him to not close and lock the door once the two of them stepped back in to the house. He closed it but didn’t lock it. I had to be sneaky about it because one of the young boys on the gunmen team was also hanging out with us.
• I also apologized to that boy because I had unplugged the router earlier on in the day as things were flickering a lot. I plugged it back in after and said I hope their bitcoin mining operation reconnected and resumed properly. He told us that they weren’t actually using my computer for mining bitcoins, but rather to farm something in Pokemon Go. Much to my relief, he soon left and returned to my bedroom after a while.
• Through the front window, I suddenly saw a car pull into the parking lot of the house, and I knew the authorities had arrived. Two pick-ups or jeeps full of policemen pulled up, and someone exclaimed that that was “the po-po — look at their badge”.
• The four gunmen burst out into the living room, and stared at the police. Someone pointed out that there was a back door to the house they could escape through. Then the police burst in through the unlocked front door. Three of them were captured instantly. The fourth took off out the back door, eventually heading across some streets, down a corridor, turning left to another corridor, then going through a glass door onto a busy pedestrian road in front of a shopping mall.
• Everyone gave chase after the fleeing gunman to some degree, though most of the policemen were lagging behind. All us residents pursued too, especially the younger kids, and it turned out that we had magic powers to assist with the chase. At least four of us pulled out small, round, and green flying figures and threw it after him, and those figures came to life like magical familiars and flew after him at high speed. We also had camera feeds behind the flying figures for the policemen to be able to watch and trail him even though they were slower.
• I also lagged behind the front boys but was in front of the frontmost policeman, and I cast a teleportation tube spell which linked my current location, about halfway down the first corridor, together with the end of that corridor right by the left turn, where the gunman had already fled past. I held open the entrance and held up my floating monitor screen where they could see the gunman through the eyes of my familiar, and as the policemen reached me they used the teleport tube to get much closer to the thick of the action.
• It was too late however, as we suddenly heard gunfire and saw death icons popping up on the game map. The gunman had gone mad and was shooting into the crowd, though thankfully there were only a couple fatalities amongst the passing shoppers. They had also all turned angry and were attacking him now too.
• By the time I reached the glass door leading to the pedestrian road, it was over, and a random blood-covered guy was stumbling toward the door from the other side as the police moved out to assess the situation and apprehend the gunman if he was still alive. I opened the door and beckoned the injured man in. His trouser leg was bloodied and he had splatters of blood everywhere on his clothes too, but he bravely said he hoped he wasn’t bleeding on the top of his head. I said that nope, that part of him was fine!
• The police handled the situation outside and we all returned to the house. I told them that they could take my computer for evidence if they would return it within one and a half weeks. The police captain that I had originally called said that that would probably be the case, and he made a call for someone to pick it up.
• A couple of my work friends then interrupted me and I turned to look at them. They had brought along a knotted plastic bag of trash for me. It turned out that I had dropped the bag onto the ground outside the house either when the gunmen had first burst in, or at some point during hostage day, and it had remained there all this time until now. That was pretty funny so everyone including me laughed, and the scene ended.

Nov 26 2018

• The only thing I remember is that Kel and I were riding horses from a town to various locations in an MMO to get objects. I was lagging quite far behind her, but I didn’t think she knew that the horses had a 10-second sprint skill, so I used it and took an alternate path around a rock to beat her back to town.

Nov 27 2018

• A group of us were making a video game, very much like in the New Game! anime. We were all located in a house, rather than an office. There was a deadline that seemed to be generated quasi-randomly and not based upon any sort of logic. At least, I seem to remember one of us having a skill that would extend the deadline, and a scene where I was told later on that we didn’t need to use that skill any longer.

Nov 28 2018

• We were helping launch and broadcast a student friend’s project across a computer network. This project involved an anthropomorphic animal with glasses, possibly a giraffe, posing as a news anchor and giving out news on the latest happenings around the land. But all the events he was talking about were regarding Greek heroes or monsters. It was broadcast at the bottom right of every computer screen in a Picture in Picture style box, and seemed to be very well received by the audience.
• A bit later, a group of people including me were in charge of a couple computer labs in school, and we were also frequently using them. As we were about to leave the labs late at night, we heard a lot of noise coming from the lab next door as two young kids were there playing a game.
• One of us, I believe Ronnie, went over and told the kids that they could play but that they had to simmer down a bit, their keyboards had to be plugged in to separate outlets so their backlights would glow red instead of green, and that one of them had to be the leader of the other one, to which the kids said okay and one of them said that he would give the other person an in-character greeting.
• The other kid then ahh’ed and pointed out in Chinese that there was a wall outlet next to them for plugging in keyboards, even though the socket was an RJ45 network socket.
