The Crazy-Ass Dread Thread

I think this is the right place to post this(instead of the Playground), since this is more about sharing personal
experiences(albeit dreams) than anything consciously made up.

Today, Sunday Nov 8, 2008:

I just woke up from a bizzarre dream that could be discribed as a live-action MTG game that didn't use the standard cards, but (mostly) followed the rules. The dream was quite lengthy and I don't remember the early parts of it, though it was revealed near the middle/end that we were playing over tickets to GenCon. Both sides had about 4-5 creatures in play at a time, though some of them were measly 1/1 chump blockers.

I had managed to get an advantage in life total, but I was down to only one or two cards in hand while he/they had several still, so I was worried I would run out of resources, as my opponent was making better and better plays.

And then the God-Draw: A White-Black(one mana of each) Enchant Creature card called "Strength of Light and Darkness" or something like that. The card gave +7/+4, first strike, trample and a couple other insignificant abilities(though apparently not flying).

I threw that onto a weak creature with no abilities of it's own hoping to make it take out a few of their creatures or smash them hard in the face. As this was based off MTG, they get to decide how they blocked, so they blocked with their newest creature: Wolverine.

I asked Wolverine what his abilities are and he listed them on three fingers: Fight, Fight, Kill. Well Wolvey only had 4 toughness, but it was decided that he had 1:Regenerate(even though it wasn't listed under his stats it was clearly a misprint. I mean come on: Wolverine). And so after first strike damage they activated his regenerate ability and he was tapped and removed from combat, and then trample damage was assigned to them. I was almost awake at this point and thought "God, this better be a dream." Luckily, it was, and I woke up.

Any interested dreams anyone had recently? You don't need to remember them now - feel free to post them here right after you have them! Or copy part of your livejournal post about it. I don't have one so I thought I'd post here.

I had this dream last week where I was testing out about 9-10 different toasters to see which one I liked best and our pup, River, was up on the counter watching the tests. When I had it narrowed down to the top 2 I was studying the toast making process of each one independently so I could make my final decision. When the first one was done and the toast popped up our pup came over and looked back and forth between the final 2 and then pushed the one that had not produced any toast off the counter, presumably because it was broken.

I couple weeks ago I had a dream involving a tar/muck river, my brother-in-law, a basilisk, my girlfriend, and some other 'victims'.

I'll have to explain it later when I have the full details in mind again, but this quote will make BimR happy.

"BimR! Stop hunting the Basilisk!"

A dimension was overrun by some form of rabidly replicating red-and-black demonic bacteria colony.
Each was the size of a moon, split within milliseconds, and had the shape of a fistful of distorted classical demons, some warped dragon-like shapes, and some fuckhuge limbs thrown in as if a big battle was melted down and blendered, like some kind of accidental life form that developed the ability to digest space-time as a growth medium.
It's the eventual outcome of all evolution.

I shut the portal between one dimension and that one and said "It's a lost cause" and we moved on to another dimension that might be saved.
