The Midnight Hour: Your Surreal Pony Experiences
11 years ago
(Just like EQD has their own nightly discussions, perhaps we should have our own to cater to those still awake at this late, or early, hour depending on your region)

The following account below if part of the Lucid Dream this morning that inspired this poll: http://drawponies.deviantart.com/jo...../poll/4857859/ )

I’m sitting there, at the desk in the hotel room, staring at the paper in front of me. The words dance and shift like figures fading backwards into a foggy night. Symbols replace letters as I try to make sense of anything on the paper. There are words here and I should understand them, but they change and hide their meaning as if they were alive.
At that moment, I’m struck with a thought: this isn’t real. I’m asleep, in my bed, and what I’m seeing is actually a dream playing out in front of me.
My brain heightens my senses, trying to make sense of the world. The environment becomes brighter around me as I latch on to the growing realization of my sudden power in the slumberellian landscape. I hold tight to my consciousness and focus on myself. If I’ve become aware of the dream, I’m going to make the most of it.
I focus on my left hand. It shifts form and becomes fingerless, now hard. I’ve made it a pony hoof. But it’s off. It is a deep sea blue with a glittery smooth metallic color. The end of it has a small balloon tail. I reset its form and try again. Same results. My right hand is now a dull-earth colored hoof. They change back to hands.
Later, I confront two old men at a skate park. They sit at food tables and look kindly.
“What’s my name?” I ask them. They do not know.
“It’s just because no one has told me what I look like,” I tell them.
…
This is a telling of an actual lucid dream I had this morning which inspired the poll many of you voted on. It inspired me in many profound ways. And now I’d like to ask you all a question for the first-ever Midnight Discussion.* *(Note, it doesn’t actually happen at midnight.)
What is the most surreal thing you’ve ever experienced relating to My Little Pony?
Was it something you saw online?
How about a story you read?
Maybe a strange coincidence out in your daily life?
Perhaps it was a dream…or a nightmare?
Let’s see what kind of strange surreal activity actually happens that people rarely talk about.
You guys have engaging so much with the art and discussions. Time for something new for all of you.

I'm often actually trying to trigger lucid dreams so I have a bit of a list in this department. Most surreal however would have to be the non-lucid recurring dream that triggered the creation of my favorite non-persona OC.
