  • Dream: Giantpaper in Wonderland?

    Cast:

    • Jeidai: cousin
    • L: sister

    (Most of the earlier half of this dream is a bunch of seemingly unrelated fragments…kinda like Alice in Wonderland. This is what I get for not writing this one ASAP.)

    Jeidai‘s immediate family and my immediate family were on some kind of vacation in Japan. We stayed at this warehouse-looking hotel and played this game where Jeidai’s dad dressed up in a Yeti costume and would try to scare the beejeebies out of us. The cousins (my siblings and I and Jeidai and her siblings) explored the city, but were on the constant lookout for Jeidai’s dad umm…dressed up as a Yeti…

    Then we met our match on a train where Jeidai and I sat in the back, surrounded by school girls in uniforms. Someone in a Yeti outfit came up to spook us, and just when we thought we had lost, Jeidai’s dad NOT wearing the Yeti outfit came up, next to the Yeti person. For a while, we were confused, until the unknown person took off the mask, revealing…

  • Dream: Hogwarts…Giantpaper-style B)

    Cast:

    me: me

    Jeidai: cousin

    Dream:

    Note: Everything I know about HP comes from either the movies or Wikipedia. I don’t really have the attention span to actually read the books. o_o

    I went to school in San Luis Obispo, CA (where Jeidai currently goes to school at CalPoly). My mom and I stopped off at some checkpoint nearby the school when she said that’s as far as she could take me. Since I had my car, I could drive the rest of the way. I decided ‘nahhhh, I’m going to walk instead!’ Buuuuut since it was about 30 miles away, I rode my bike instead (which I also conveniently had :3). When I was done with school for the day, it was time to head home for the day. I went back up to the checkpoint and thought about having my mom pick me up (and as for my car still being there…what car? :O).

    But instead, I decided to go to Hogwarts (wow, looks like “Hogwarts” is in the Firefox dictionary…it wasn’t underlined when I typed it), which wasn’t too far away. Also, I am now Harry Potter, since everything was in my POV, but I looked and sounded exactly like Harry. XD

    In this Hogwarts, the houses were in modern-looking CalPoly-esque style buildings. Except for one which is also kind of abandoned. The only ones who lived in it were…Harry, Jeidai and some others. Also in order to get to it, you have to crawl into this hollowed-out tree and into a hole in the ground. Then you would appear in one of the CalPoly-esque buildings (which doesn’t look so CalPoly-esque on the inside). This was so only residents of that house/dorm could access it, but pretty much everyone knew about this “secret” entrance.

    (In a previous dream where I was Harry and Jeidai was Hermione, we lived in a Hogwarts-style dorm that could only be accessed via hollowed-out tree.)

    One day, I was talking with my zombie friend* and he wanted to know about this “secret” entrance. I told him that only residents of that dorm could get in. Oh yeah, I also accidentally hinted about its location. o_o The zombie took off to notify his friends and I knew I better tell someone fast.

    *I was up really late last night playing as a zombie on Gaia’s Halloween Hysteria event. 😀 Two factions down, two to go (zombie and human).

    I immediately went to the dean of that dorm, whose name was similar to Cornelius Fudge (I think his first name was Cornealus?). His face looked a bit like the Mad Hatter’s from Alice in Wonderland, only less cartoony-looking (but he was just as goofy/silly). And he had hair like a jack playing card.

  • Dreaming in…PHP?

    Anyone ever get really tired and nod off and these random dream-like thoughts enter your mind? That happened to me today.

    My entire “dream” was a poem about a heron with a long gray beak. And it was entirely in PHP. XP It was sort of object-oriented programming-like (since I’m just starting to play around with OOP). It went something like this:

    var $heron;
$heron->grayBeak;

    If it really were object-oriented programming, wouldn’t it be more like:

    $heron = new Heron();
$heron->grayBeak();

    There were more lines describing more characteristics of the heron. And there was another heron, who was introduced like:

    var $heron2;

  • Dream: Where Natalie Portman was Disguised as a Turtle

    The four Ninja Turtles (from the 80s cartoon) were camping on the beach, when another turtle (a regular, non-anthropomorphized turtle) showed up on the waves and approached them. They took it home, only to discover that the turtle was actually Natalie Portman in disguise. She told them that they had been chosen to save the world from impending doom.

    And then followed a series of events, involving other characters (including myself :D). Mainly Disney characters. (There was a scene that took place on a railroad on the side of a mountain, that looked similar to the train scene/mission on Mt. Corel in FFVII. I think the Mad Hatter was there. XP) There was another scene where Natalie had to disguise herself a squishy, green, glowing slug when she and the turtles reached some far off city, and some guards were questioning her authenticity…

    Eventually, everyone ended up at one location, which looked like it was in the woods. They were told that the mastermind behind this entire mess would reveal himself. There was a large cauldron in the middle of the crowd. Purplish pink smoke billowed up and started to resemble the Cheshire Cat. I wasn’t too surprised, since the Cheshire Cat always did seem like a trickster-type of character to me (but I was hoping for something more…menacing and epic). But no, the smoke cleared, revealing the Tramp from Lady and the Tramp. O_o While everyone was in shock, he said “:/ The color dark green never lies” (I think he was wearing a dark green collar at the time).

    I “woke up” and somehow some movie producers found out about my dream and wanted to make a movie out of it. But when I saw the opening of the turtles finding a female anthropomorphized turtle instead of the regular-looking turtle that Natalie, I started to think ‘I think that’s wrong…?’

    There was actually a lot more to this dream, but I could only remember what I wrote. X( I was also involved as one of the more semi-main characters, and the main, central character was actually Natalie herself.
