Dreams are creepy. And weird. So here is one of my really weird ones: I think I played this game called Oblivion too much... Because I was dreaming about last night. I was in this jail with this NPC and we needed to get out. So we found this convenient big hole. The NPC and I went through the hole into this watery place.... And then the NPC had a sword fight with Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean. It was so dramatic. And then I woke up. Another one I had I think a year ago: I was walking down a street with my dad and I was very sad because he said we would have to move somewhere else. So we walked up to this huge house. I turned happy almost instantly, and said,"Is THAT are house???" My dad said nothing... And we suddenly appeared in a house that strangely looked like my friend's house I was hopping around the floor, since it was moving. And out of the corner of my eye I saw a Japanese lady sitting down. I asked,"Why is the floor moving?" My dad replied,"Because woman have special shoes that let them walk across moving floors." So, post your dreams here... If you wanna... I guess....

Um... some of my dreams are pretty morbid... lol... This one isn't, though. I had this a couple nights ago: I was new to this village, and I had been exploring during the day, and I had come to this place, like an unused church/school and the person I was with showed me I could sign a slab made of cream coloured stone. There were also a lot of fountains and statues around. Later on, I was walking to a friend's house, when I saw a shop (I think it was actually closed, it was very dark outside) but I went inside anyway. There were a gathering of kids and the shop owner, and they were playing this game. They welcomed me and I began to catch on to the game very quickly. Before I new it, 1 hour had passed just playing this one game. I got up suddenly, remembering that I was supposed to meet my friend. I ran out, but in a panic, went the wrong way, got lost, and it was rather scary, lol.
Another one, this one is kinda morbid: It as ww3, but the streets and stuff were totally empty... apart from me, and I was walking along these streets, and the streets were all just big, grey buildings and pipe structures... all deserted... (kinda) Then, I got to these massive flight of stairs and got up, but when i was climbing people were coming out and beginning to fight... so I continued running up, then at the top there was this cylinder-shaped building, where people went if they weren't fighting... like a shelter... anyway, I went in, and there were all my friends, and I sat down and we started talking. But then, this one guy stodd up, started talking, and produced a grenade put of his posket. Me, having quick reflexes, managed to get out of the building on time and leapt onto a big metal telephone pole which had fallen and was balanced against 2 buildings. The cylinder -shaped buling exploded, leave me on this pole thing. There was a guy at the other end of the pole doing target practice. I came up to him and then, after coming to an agreement, he shot me, and I fell off the pole, and kept falling... O.O Oh yeah you actually saw quite a lot of bood in that one.

I actually don't dream. I kinda think at the same time. I was able to think how the dream would work!
I used to dream:
I was playing 'moron soccer,' as game common in the school I went to before. But it was in a field with large rocks, quite odd, since you can only play the game in a specific area, also of concrete. Somehow, the ball was kicked into a shed (which would probably happen IRL too), and I went off to get it. I came in and saw large tupperware-like containers full of papers, and a child asking me to help him find his frog. I found the frog, but it turned into green slime on my shirt, and then became a soccer ball. I proceeded to chase it until it reached the cieling.
The rest is blurry, but when I try to recall what happened llater, I think of throwing a large log...

In my dream a was repeatly playing a game were you elove, and everaully a got kiddnapped and bound, but I wearing a magic shirt and sweat pants that made me teleport. But a iended up in this basket ball court with a parabolic floor and changing gravity and they discovered my magic clothes and stole them. My main captor was capacitn from inkheart and he was born during the course of this game. The person who captured me was rude so I slapped him and chalanged him to a duel to the death, after which I would give myself back up to capacirn. We both wielded serrated swords with slits in them, but a secretly picked up the sweat pants. I was doing will at first but then he started to get advantage so I used teleport powers and killed him. Then I woke up.

It was weird and stupid and different and possibly disturbing, for I don't remeber what it is.

I seriously don't dream anymore... I know, me either. I think its relative to my brain activity. I can be laying there in bed, physically drained. And aware of it too. But my mine never stops. My memory just eventually shuts down. And i don't know that i thought it if i can't remember thinking it. If i cant remember thinking it i can't go back and say i thought this but i don't remember it. Real confusing... I used to dream occasionally as a smaller kid. I can't really remember anything too well. I remember occasionally, in recent times, though, sort of being half awake - concious, sort of, but in some alternate story line that i have minimal - if any - control over. I usually have to get up for school or jolt awake from dying in my dream sometime - ive more than once had a violent shake from my sudden alternate reality death - or something like a large fall that would invaribly cause death, even before the death itself happens. ive heard, for those of you who dream more than me and sandmaster, that you can attempt to control your dreams. If you can think about it in your dream, try to force yourself to look down at your hands - in your dream. And thats the first step to control. Eventually you could control yourself - and play through whatever you dream. I don't know if you can get to the point where everything conforms to the way you want it to. I think a big reason i don't really dream is i don't get enough truly deep sleep. I often get only 3-6 hours of sleep to function nearly a whole day, and my schedule has been off recently. I slept in till about ten before six, and i usually get up ten to fifteen minutes ahead of that. I didn't have time to wash my hair. Rest i get. Deep sleep i don't.

I used to dream, and on occassion I have quasi-realistic dreams involving peers. When I say "on occassion," I mean 1 dream for every 3 months.
I remember an excerpt of a recent (past year) dream:
Imagine a circle of diameter D and a chord of length 2D/3.
Imagine a point on the chord that would divide the chord into lengths of D/6 and 5D/6. Don't worry about being exact with the measurements. Call that point A.
Imagine a perpendicular bisector to the chord. See the two points on the circle that that segment passes through? Label the one closest to the chord point P.
Forget about the circle and chord and points momentarily
Imagine a large, gigantic, stone, cylindrical building of Grecco-Roman origin with Doric columns several meters/yards tall (no more than the height of an AT-AT leg standing straight up).
Imagine snow everywhere except on vertical surfaces, such as the pillars of the building.
Imagine some Rebel troopers from Hoth scattered.
Remember that circle I asked you about? Assuming the circle is the floor of the cylindrical building, place yourself on point A and look in the direction of point P.
Imagine length D to be a large value such as a kilometer or ten...
If you haven't already, make this dream first person.
Imagine an AT-AT and an AT-ST at 2:1 scale.
Imagine that the 2:1 scale AT-AT is walking from your left into your field of vision, one foot at a time going at a slothful speed. Imagine the Rebels fleeing for their lives into the building while the AT-AT shoots at them with its medium blasters.
Now imagine the wall and columns where point P is exploding (relative to the center of the circle, imploding) before you. You are outside of the blast radius. The AT-AT stops firing. Imagine some smaller debris falling as you slowly gaze upward.
Imagine that you see the 2:1 scale AT-ST. Now imagine the entire "face" of the AT-ST becoming a television screen (shape of face is still retained). Imagine in the screen that, against a dark-grey backdrop, Grand Moff Tarkin is dressed up in Adolf Hitler's uniform. You can only see Tarkin's head, shoulders, and as much of the body as the face of the AT-ST will fit.
Imagine Grand Moff Tarkin asking the Rebels to surrender or else to face annihilation. Imagine him asking for any response in a mockingly puzzled voice, e.g. "Well, do you surrender?" Imagine him confirm that no one responded to him and that he is telling you that you all must face the consequences. Now imagine the screen turning off.
Imagine that the AT-ST and the AT-AT begin shooting again.
Stop imagining.

Umm, well, I had one really wierd dream once but I am positive that it would not be suitable to post here. I think I can remember another though.
Ok, so I was sitting in my first class, and my friend says something to me. I didn't hear him, so I looked over at him and asked him what he said. He said something about a new brand of, condems he had started. Then I looked back at the teacher, it was a man before, and it was suddenly this woman. And then she started talking about "reproduction" (First block is history class). Then I looked over at my friend and he was "reproducing" with someone else in the class (a girl).
And that is the one that IS suitable. xD

Hadn't your profile already displayed your age, I still would have been able to make a fairly accurate guess based on your dream.
Careful, and I don't necessarily mean of your age revelation...

Everyone has something wrong with his/her mind. It's a matter of perspective.
And where did I lose you, FoxtrotZero? I'll see if I can make it easier to envision...

Well, see, i'm kind of FAILING Advanced Algebra (I know it all well enough, its one of those things) so you lost me with all the math. I don't take geometry.
As for the weirdness, i think i got it.
Speaking of ages, i am old enough to be a legal member of the internet as of last sunday. But i can't change my @%#$ing birthday, so i won't display my age (it says i am like, 20 or something).

Ah. Here is a crash course through SOME of the geometry necessary to understand my post.
Lines are of infinite length. Segments have finite lengths and therefore can be measured.
You know what a circle is: a set of all points that are equally distant from a specified center point.
A chord is a line segment that crosses a circle at two points (i.e. goes through the circle). A diameter is the longest chord possible in a circle.
A perpendicular bisector is a line (or segment) that goes through the midpoint of another line or segment and is perpendicular (at a right angle) to that same line or segment. Interestingly enough, the perpendicular bisector of any chord is always the diameter of the circle.
Ultimately, when you figure out where to put point A on the chord, the point should be at the 1/4 mark or the 3/4 mark of the chord.
