dreamssss
15 years ago
My dream took place in a world that was part scout camp, but also a lot like an MMORPG, with way better immersion. You were there. But game overs don't mean you die or anything.
We were picking some kids up at the road down to the camp (the smallest scouts were only to stay with us for the last 3 days of the camp), and I rode along with some of them back - even though it was no farther than they could walk, the cars were probably there to help carry their equipment though. One kid ran after us almost all the way, to point out a guy had forgotten to close the car's door (the run took 30 seconds at most).
At that end of the camp, some old farm houses stood, overgrown with trees that actually had branches dipping far over the land next to them, making it hard to drive through. These areas played a role early on in the dream, but I've forgotten it. Then I was behind the car, riding on a shovel attached to the trailer. As we crossed the camp area, it clipped a dog (a retriever sort with a more platinum coat), and I fell off. We all said we were sorry we were so sloppy with the packing. The dog just stood there like it was made of rock.
My mother came too, and got specific about some candle holder while we unpacked. She was just being her usual self, eager to see to that everyone was alright.
Other things I do remember, is my game having a lot of errors, like missing chunks of geometry, and I blamed bad mods. (Had this happen a lot in Oblivion lately, probably why I dreamt about it). There was a mountain created from some raised terrain and rocks placed on top to form the peak, but the terrain for the top was missing from 2-3 metres and up, and so the rocks from the top were floating and I could see into a pit of nothing where the game should've been. The game did not have backface culling.
A new zone was opening up next to the camp area, a beach full of shallow pools and dotted with palm trees on the sides. Perfect beach for kids? Wrong, it was full of high level thugs and crocodiles. It was probably the location of a dungeon (remember, this is an MMORPG). I was pretty surprised at all the enemies there when I explored the place. I was of some sort of rogue-like class, so avoiding trouble was not a problem for me. I went to my grandma (one of those dreams where she isn't dead, those are a dream group in their own) to tell her; you'd think that was a perfect beach to bring the kids? No, the crocodiles are lvl 70!. I don't remember what she replied, but it was implied she understood. I knew someone would try to trick her to go there and get 'killed' to loot her valuable gear. And indeed, after that, Thaylo came to ask her to go to the lovely beach and they went. I watched to see what would happen. But instead, it kind of dissolved into us watching a boss fight, which was Argorok with some guy riding on top. 2 people were fighting it (one player as Link, and another person), and if one shot his slingshot at the other, he could fire 2 bullets at Argorok. The targeting didn't seem to work though, so they generally only damaged the guy on top of Argorok. He looked wizardy and had 2 banners next to him; he fell off, flat on his back. But he wasn't down.
A short while later, I woke up.

I pictured your grandma in her valuable gear -- studded leather, maybe a little chainmail, some sweet bracers... I guess she was able to take care of herself. :P

I had something focusing around WoW, it was annoying cause the dream kept waking me up.

OP
Did it keep saying; YOU ARE THE BOMB! and you woke up to run to a safe spot away from the raid?

XD No, it was me as my Draenei running around, doing quests to get my ram mount, which I got last night before going to bed.
