So I've never really had any "in universe" dreams for any of my fandoms. Well as a kid there was an animated Flintstone's themed dream but I digress...

But I had the most vivid dream about gearing up and marching at Dragon*con. Well except my pants and boots were wrong so it sort of turned into a nightmare.

Anyone else having con dreams yet?

OMFG... It's like being in the Twilight Zone! I just dreamed of DCon last night! And Rex was in it! Go Rex!

I don't really know who else was in it. A female for sure. uh, not like that though.

I had a dream last night that there was a taipan ( a kind of venomous snake) loose in my friends house and my friend found it and stood on it to kill it but when she lifted her foot it was like a flying tadpole with the same head and colours as the snake... that was WEIRD.

I have a reoccurring dream about Dragon Con once every couple of months or so.

Usually I'm either late driving down (meaning by the time I get to the convention it's Sunday night),

Or I'm at the convention and there is a delay with my room or my pass etc. Basically something gets screwed up taking all the fun out of the con.

Very rarely do I have a dream with people that I know in real life; they are always strangers in my dreams. On the odd occassion (like once or twice a year) I have a dream with someone I recognize.

Only once have I ever had my D-Con dream with someone from our group in it.

And it was Chris.

I was in Berlin staying at the Hotel Palace Berlin (?) 2 weeks ago. I opened up the window and fell asleep. I had this dream that I was camping in the African jungle and there were these lions and elephants right outside my tent. I was totally scared that something was just going to eat or crush me. I woke up in the morning and took a leak. On my way out of the bathroom, with the dream still fresh, I heard a Lion roar.......LOUD. The hair stood on the back of my neck as I was wierded out. I opened the curtains and saw the sign for the Berlin Zoo. I just giggled.
Christian

HA! thats really strange. Sub-concious thought and all that jazz.

i think my level of geekness has been raised a few notches higher after my dream a few nights ago..

i walked into an old camera store and saw they had rows and rows of vivitar flash guns and olympus t-28's. i was so dissapointed when i woke up and realised i couldnt buy them

I hate dreams where I'm at a con or a toy store and I'm grabbing these never before seen toys or props... and poof. So sad they're not there when I wake up.

So I had my D-Con dream last night...

I had driven down as usual and arrived at the Marriott on Thursday afternoon. I knew I was early and that my room wouldn't be ready yet so I accepted a key for a "temporary holding room" to stash my luggage until it was ready.

This was a very small room (like you would find at an airport with a single bed and just enough room to move around in) in the basement of the Marriott 16 floors below the lobby level!

(Guess those renovations were pretty radical )

So with my gear secure I started to wander around looking for anyone I knew. Happened to come across Derek (uscmgrunt). He was in his BDUs. We chatted for awhile. He asked me when I was going to put my gear on (I was still in my civilian clothes). I told him that my stuff was in a holding room and that I was still waiting for my actual room to be ready so I didn't want to tear my luggage apart until then.

It suddenly hit me... My reservations were with the Hilton!

I had accepted a key for a hotel I wasn't even booked with! It was now 10:30pm on Thursday and I was frantic to get my stuff back and get over to the Hilton before they gave my room away.

So now of course everything is working against me to get my stuff back. The elevators are taking forever, the hotel is full of people and the stairs are jammed with people moving like turtles.

I think I did manage to get back to the room, and grab one piece of my luggage to take with me to the Hilton. I was worried that not only would I not have a room when I got there... but that I would have to pay extra for keeping my stuff at the Marriott!

I woke up before checking in at the Hilton.

I can't stand these dreams!

i had a dream the other night that was really strange...

first i was hunting dinosaurs in Jurassic Park...

next, i was in a shootout on a moving train as Indiana Jones...

then, i was exploring ancient temples like something out of Champions: Return to Arms (PS2 fantasy game)...

and somehow, the last part (about Champions:RTA) was actually a program inside the Matrix, and for no reason I "jacked out"...

oh, and not that this matters, but there was a beautiful brunnette who was totally in love with me...


how's that for strange?

"When the going gets tough, the tough call on the Colonial Marines."

No D-Con dreams here, but if you want strange dreams, I provide cinemascope, dolby-surround, special effects-packed, and occasional guest star (anyone ever had Bruce Willis?) dreams almost every night. I've even started keeping a journal of some of them, they're so weird.

Funny thing is... I have plenty of unpleasant dreams where I fall, I can't run, I can't move, I'm in danger somehow, blablabla... But they're only that, unpleasant dreams. The ONLY semi-recurring dream I ever have that can be qualified as a full-blown nightmare ALWAYS has the Xenomorph in it. Alone or in groups, warrior or queen, on Earth or in space, I win or lose, live or die... These dreams are the only ones that can wake me up half-screaming and drenched in cold sweat...

Says a lot for the power of the movies, really!

This maybe the weirdest, most illogical and unusual dream. Trust me, i did not make this up. I experienced it b4 and some of the Experience is coming bak to my mind. I m planning to make a story out of this dream.

A long time ago, I had this so called created dream as I was planning to cr8 a dream bout Xenomorphs since I was over-obssesed with them. ( I hv no idea how I figured out all this things. )

That one particular night, I actually dreamnt about this created dream. I was captured by some Xenomorphs while wandering alone in the streets at night.

When i reach their hive, one of them gave me a choice, either to b a host for a facehugger, or b a Xenomorph. Of course, I chose to be a Xenomorph. The Xenomorph then replied that the chances of being changed into a Xenomorph depends on my will power to b A Xenomorph. Will power low= fail, will power high = succesful (really illogical and unusual rite? XD ). The process was succesful however.

The nex part of the dream, when i became a Xenomorph, I actually helped them to build defenses to def against the pred attks on my hive. The unusual thing is, i actually travelled through time to get the components required.

After the dream, I was never afraid of Xenomorphs alrdy. I haven't finish building the defenses yet when i woke up. Till now, it was never continued......Such a weird but sweet dream for me but it was forgotten. How sad

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my insanity.

A couple weeks ago, I had a dream where I went to "DragonCon." Upon waking, I realized it wasn't DragonCon at all, but in the dream, I accepted that this bizarre place was in fact D*Con.

I wish I could remember more of what happened. I remember hanging around with the other Marines, but something went wrong. I was disappointed by something, and the experience was ruined.

The worst part is, for the rest of the day, I couldn't shake the disheartened feeling. Even after reminding myself over and over that DragonCon has NOT happened yet.
