Title: What's A Dream, And What is Real?
Post by: Anonymous on July 06, 2005, 08:30:27 am
I wasnt quite sure where to put this thread, so I'll put it here. So, I had a weird dream the other night, figured I'd share it with you all, It was kinda weird, I dont often/ever have matrix dreams or dreams about video games. (except one time when I was like 7 and dreamt I was in SMB3).the following isnt role play or anything, just me trying to give you guys a visualization of how this dream played out...

*ouch*..
*what's going on?*...
*I'm...being dragged? by who?*

My eyes slowly open. I dont know where I am, or what's going on for that matter. I look forward and see my boots, making lines in the dirt, as Im being dragged behind someone. I have very little strength, and feel a bit woozy. i start to gain a bit more of my strength, and eventually manage to speak.

Adrenaline: WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON!?! WHERE AM I?!?!
Unknown Monotone Voice:He's regained consciousness.
Monotone Voice #2: Take care of it.

(*slam*)
I feel the cold steel of the side of the Desert Eagle Handgun hit my face. Im out like a light. again.

...*helicopters. Im getting sick of those damned things.*....
....*ow, my head...why does my head hur..oh. those men...*...
...*wait..that voice....no..no, it couldnt...*

I open my eyes. and there he is.it must be a dream. I go to rub my eyes...but I cant use my arms.I look around and notice im tied to a chair...on a rooftop. but...wait.. this rooftop. this might sound funny, but this rooftop looks familiar. It is. When I sometimes need to think, I like to find high places. I knew this one, because it was the highest. I was downtown.I look up and all I see is the night sky, the stars, the rooftop lights, agents, and...him.

But..I thought he was gone.I thought he was dead. or rather...erased? A lot of us thought that. a lot of us assumed. did we assume incorrectly? but..the clones.. they were all gone, surely, he must have been gone as well. Suddenly, im filled with much confusion. If only I knew, the confusion was just beginning. I look up at him.

Adrenaline: Smith?
Smith-like agent:c'mon, you know me as more than that.
Adrenaline: what?

what did he mean? this surely wasnt helping the situation.

Agent2: Sir, are you sure it's...
Smith: yes. oh yes, im quite sure. it's him....whether he knows it...or not.
Agent1: sir, this is not logical. the truce..
Smith: to hell with the truce! dont you see? dont let him fool you. we need to take care of this situation. if we dont, he'll continue living as he was, among those..'angels' as they call themselves. As time progresses, so will his mind. and they'll continue to help him exercise it till that happens. till he realizes he isnt just one of the others. we have to stop this, and stop him now, before he realizes his capabilities...

what in the hell was he talking about? Im no one, just someone fighting for zion, and for morpheus, along side those who I am lucky enough to not only call teammates, but friends. I was very confused by the entire situation. and then...

(*thump*......*thump*thump*....thump*)

those noises. I lifted my weak head with what little energy I had left. and there it was. a forming wall of white, with the gaps filling in quickly.

Agent2: it's them, sir.
Smith: what?!

the smith like character looks down at me, looks me over and looks up again.

Smith: he's got a trace program on him, how did this happen? you didnt check before you brought him here?
Agent1: one of his 'angel' associates must have tagged him as we took him after the battle with them in the streets earlier.
Smith: you know what to do.

I looked around and my furious teammates to my amazement were all hyperjumping onto the roof, and the numbers were piling up fast. I thought I was a goner. They all came to my rescue. now they are fighting these agents, for me. I wish I had strength left, any energy at all. I felt completely drained. then...

Smith: you..

he punched me in the face, so hard it knocked over the chair I was in. still conscious, but boy did it hurt. I looked up at him again, and this time, he grabbed the chair and threw me a good 100 ft or so towards the outer wall of the stairwell.my back and back of my head hit the wall. hard. I felt the broken pieces behind me come down and run over my head, my body had just left a pretty decent crater in this wall. then they hit, and I clinched in the pain. the smith like character had just shot a round into each of my shoulders while I was against the wall.

Smith: come out! why do you holdback?! do you not see it!?!

he preceded to empty 2 more rounds into each of my arms. as I looked to see what he had in store next for me, I noticed the agents, falling back from the angels onslaught. smith looked around, then down at me.

smith: this isnt over. even as I speak now, you're starting to see it. and if not, you're going to very soon.

with that, they all left. there I lay, strapped to a chair on the ground, in a puddle of blood and smashed concrete. the angels rushed to my side, and I lost consciousness once again.

(*beep*...*beep*...*beep*...)

when I awoke I was laying in a bed, I looked down and say the IV, and heard my vitals beeping on the machine. I heard one of the female members say "he's awake". I didnt quite have the energy to move a whole lot, so I just laid there staring at the ceiling. I heard footsteps, and then saw a figure above me. it was Tbone.

Tbone: amazing. you know you should be dead right?
Adrenaline:yeah.
Tbone: I cant quite figure it out, and I dont know what the business on the rooftop was about, but rest up. There's a lot to be answered, im hoping I can figure out what they wanted with you soon enough.

*...you and I both T, you and I both.*...

-out-

==================================================
yeah. it was a weird ass dream.it was even weirder, because it made me realize I think Ive looked at everyone's pics/galleries quite a bit, because in the dream you were all mostly real life, not computer generated, and had your real faces as ive seen them, and were in real angel uniforms. it was interesting. I dont hardly ever have dreams that weird. but alas, that's where the dream ended, and where the speculation begins. hehe.

Wow, you have awesome dreams, and you remember them well. My dreams always seem to be fragmented and don't really have a beginning or an end. They never seem to really tell a story. I wish there was a way to peak into your brain and watch the dream! What could it mean? Maybe the Matrix trilogy was just a softer way of trying to get people used to the Truth! Du duu duuuuuu!

Yeah that's a tight dream. I can't remember that much stuff from my dreams. BUT FUNNY ENOUGH...I did have a dream last night about Tbone. ok here it goes:

I was at my house on my computer. All of the sudden I hear a knock at the door. I open it and there's a really short man with black hair and he's got two HOT chicks at the side. The man indroduced himself as Tbone!

I said, "AHH Tbone wassup dude"

Tbone: Not much Nemi, just felt like comin' over.

Well, Tbone came in and we starting boxin' cause he thought he could take me. I kept punching the living crap outa him. And eventually he told me to stop hitting him.

That's all i remember from my dream. No joke that was actually my dream a few hours ago (cuz i just woke up).


(honestly Adrenaline im not making fun of your post, this was a real dream)

heh. the dream wasnt about tbone, he just happened to be there at some point, along with most of the rest of you. Im usually not that great at remembering dreams either, but this one stood out, and I kept thinking about it after I woke up to keep it fresh in my mind till I could type it out. and yeah, I dont know that it really had much of a beginning or an end, at the end I was left wondering what the hell it all meant and was confused, the beginning was weird as well, the earliest moment I remember was being dragged by my collar behind an agent. I kinda hinted at this in the above post, but I was confused as to why I was so out of energy and beat, and how they nabbed me, and from what I could decipher, apparently there had been a big street fight with agents and FA earlier, and a few of them found what they were looking for (me) and nabbed me in the fight.

haha. I didnt want to say that, nor do I believe that to be true in mxo, but it almost seemed the smith-like agent was implying something like that, or someone similar to him in some way.

That's weird. I had a dream that I was a boxing midget who was punching Agents to save Adrenaline, but Nemi kept slapping me and claiming he was owning me. In the end I gave up and got in the hot tub with two hot women. You think that's a coincidence? Hehe...

LOL, interesting... I never remember or know of anything that goes on when I sleep.  I go to work some days and my co workers ask me if I heard the storm that night. (The ground is dry when I wake.) And my reply is storm?? what storm?!

I'm gonna call bullshit on the fact that it was a dream and not just some fan fiction you made up.  While well written and cool, there's way too much detail in the dialog.  Also, anyone that knows you in real life knows that the only way your lazy ass was awake at 8:30am is because you've been up all night, which means you never went to sleep, which means you never had a dream.  You need to stop livin' on front street and just say you made that shit up.

unfortunatly, grifter, you'd be wrong. firstly none of the dialogue is 100% the exact same as it was in the dream, though that should obviously be a given. I'll admit you're right on it being 8:30 and I had been up all night. this happened the previous night when I was sleeping at my parents house. im bg into ideaologies behind lucid dreaming, and one of them to train your mind in doing such is writing down your dreams right after you wake up, to learn to recognize them and train your mind to remember them better. I wrote the dream down when I woke up the morning of the 5th, so Id be able to write it down here later. not that any of that matters, it's always great when your buddies call you a liar when you're not and dont believe you. *shrug* anyway.

Ive yet to actually become aware in a dream, but it'll be cool if it happens, from stuff I read up on it, some people are able to pull it off as soon as a couple weeks, some 6 months or longer. Ive definitly gotten better at keeping the memories of dreams in my mind after waking up though, whereas when I was younger Id forget a dream about 5 minutes after waking up and only remember bits of it throughout the next day

Back in high school I could lucid dream for about a year or so. It would happen all the time. A lot of times my dream would start to fade, or even after I knew it was a dream, I still had a hard time controlling it.
Title: What's A Dream, And What is Real?
Post by: Manic Velocity on July 07, 2005, 09:56:13 am
I've only been able to control my dreams a couple times since I read up on lucid dreaming when I was ten.  It's cool when it happens, but it's very hard to do.  Or maybe I'm trying too hard.

The last lucid dream I had, I ended up running down a long stretch of road that was shaped like a weird stairway.  I'd run down the slope as fast as I could, and when I came to a flat piece of road, I'd stomp my feet down and leap into the air.  Then I'd arc down back onto the street and do the same thing over and over again.  A friend of mine was chasing me in his busted up Ford Explorer, and some girl was taking pictures of it all.

Interesting writing, Adrenaline.  While I don't necissarily believe you dreamed all of that, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that I think you may have filled in numerous blanks in the story.

one of the key ways to get control/lucid dream: try to read something. it will almost always be upside down or backwards. of course, if you're fucked up like me, it's rarely either, which probably isn't good .... but i think my brain/nervous system was wired by someone from dell ....

Strangely enough, I just had a lucid dream. I woke up this morning, put in a load of laundry, turned on the news for a while, and fell asleep for a few minutes. While I was taking this nap, I became aware that I was asleep.

I was in a shower - I'm not sure if it was running, but once I realized I was dreaming, I wanted to get out and go exploring. As I started to move the shower curtain, everything went into slow motion. I started to step out of the tub, but it was taking forever. I could see the door to the bathroom in front of me - it was very close, but I felt like I would never reach it.

When I finally pulled the shower curtain back and stepped out of the tub, I tried to inch towards the door. At this time I heard I think the mayor of New York on my tv that was still on. Suddenly I found myself falling backwards, back into the tub.

I landed hard on my rear, and while it SOUNDED like it would hurt, it didn't, because I knew I was dreaming. Once I landed, I started getting sucked backwards, away from the bathroom door. I got sucked through the wall, which no longer existed. I tried to refocus myself in order to regain control, but when I tried to focus, I ended up waking myself up.
