December 2nd

I just remembered a weird ghost dream that started sillier than it ended.
Started off Ghostbusters but then turned Ninja Turtles and when the ghost showed up
no one would get off their turtle asses to help me so I was left staring down this shadowy
thing that looked like a human shape but with cat ears and tail and piercing eyes.
I woke up confused as hell as it went from silly to "don't let this thing catch me alone" and weirder
for me was that unlike a lot of dream about the house this one was very close to our own.

December 3rd

1. Some kind of circus with animal people, namely girls and tight fitting outfits... Also a gorilla with attitude.
I think I was supposed to be some new hired help, a handler perhaps given how much I was expected to interact with everyone?
I recall some of the girls walking by either after a show or practice with plenty of eye grabbing areas thanks to the suits/tights,
I also recall looking away bashfully when they noticed my attention though they seemed more amused than anything else.

2. Something about shooting a bunch of bug like creatures pouring out of a tunnel with high tech armour and weapons?
Not a whole lot of detail since it wasn't a very long dream, I recall using a jump boosters at some point and an energy shotgun?

3. Some sort of vampire and dragon type of setting though there were probably other types of creatures as well.
I recall having to fight off ghouls at some point, the vampire slave kind or otherwise undead not the irradiated Fallout kind.
I remember having relations with a dragon that would at times take human form, a she I believe though who knows for sure?
There was something about having powers myself though whether they were dragon or vampire specifically I don't know.
There was a point where we were cracking down on some group of vampire criminals that among other things were part
of a cat theft ring, not that cats were the thieves but rather that they were stealing cats and selling them off and even a tiger!
I don't know why I felt the need to elaborate on the cat theft part, but this is my brain/dream were talking about so all bets are off by default.

December 4th

Okay so I recall HAVING two epic ones but... I've lost sight of them, I remember something about digimon and being a tamer but that's about it...
Something about humans and digimon more or less living together, I think my partner was a Kotemon?
I remember crying near the end over something to do with them, I know it was emotionally charged but now it's kind of hazy.

There was another one that looked like some kind of movie for Bucky O'Hare though still animated, I recall seeing a run time of like 140 minutes?

Another dream that was something about petting Renamon, belly rubs were included.

And some kind of Halloween dream and sitting inside the house with candy.

December 5th

Had a Halloween party kind of dream with me in a Ghostbusters outfit.
The dream started at a house with myself, a girl, and her grandmother prepping for or having just done Halloween night.
The girl was dressed like Hatsune Miku and we seemed to be in the same age range, it seemed to be made clear early on
from a narrative point of view that the girl and her grandmother were witches (the good kind) and I was friends with them?
I remember an odd and small creature with a pumpkin on it's head running around and the girl trying to catch it,
once she caught it the pumpkin fell off and revealed it to be some small ghost like thing that was child like.
She then placed the pumpkin on her own head while talking to them I recall standing on the porch with the grandmother
and both of being amused by her own childish behavior with the pumpkin as she then awkwardly walked around like that.
I recall finding it adorable and chuckling lightly, there was a second pumpkin now with the creature and it seemed identical.
The grandmother said something about that if you have two identical or "twin" jack'o lanterns and the magic needed that you
can communicate with them like walkies-talkies of sorts and that it used to be a popular form of long distance communication
for magic folk and the like before the telegraph and telephone came about from regular folk.
The girl then walked the creature down the street and said goodbye, and then came walking back with the pumpkin still on her head.
She was a cute girl and definitely my type, it seemed like we knew each other well enough despite me not being of the magical sort.
Time passed to the next day I assume which was either the day after or the day of Halloween given that there were actually people
walking around in costume including myself in the Ghostbusters overalls though the girl was wearing more of a ladies suit with glasses.
I saw that there were a number of people in similar Ghostbusters outfits and that they were all grouping up near where some cars
were parking like they were heading off to a party, I was then approached by a man who asked if I was also joining in.
It sounded like a fun idea, a bunch of people in similar costumes getting together for a costume party.
I said I'd check it out at least and he carried on walking toward the cars and others he was inviting, I stopped by the girl
who looked like she had nothing better to be doing was trying to hide that fact when I told her about what happened.
I said that the majority if not all the people gathering were Ghostbusters related for outfits and she could probably come along
saying hers was supposed to be Jenine or such and also that I got a not quite bad but still odd feeling from the guy so maybe
she'd be interested in finding out if something magical was going on, she seemed interested in that at least and agreed.
We went down to where the cars were as one of them pulled away packed with people, a white limo like one looking a bit like Ecto-1.
We saw two other cars that were smaller and black though only one had a driver in it so we walked over to the further one with a driver.
The guy with the car was kind of small to be honest had a slight Irish accent like he was trying to talk through it, I asked him if
he was with the group involving the other car and the party to which he said yes, he then asked if we were both going and we said yes.
The car was also on the small side so fitting was a little troublesome as I seemed to be myself for this dream (6'1 310lbs) so it was
a bit cramped for me but I made it and we set off, the driver was a nice enough guy and he appreciated it when I stopped a box
full of glow-sticks for the party from flying out of the car on a sharp turn.
When we got to the destination which was poorly lit and in some underground structure like a parking garage we were getting out
of the car and asking if this was the right place when we saw some of the other cars but when we looked to the driver he was gone.
Yeah like we'd figured there was something going on here (personal theory, he was a leprechaun) so before heading off inside
wherever this was I grabbed a couple of the larger long life glow-sticks and cracked them handing one to the girl.
We started to see more people and even came across a guy who pulled off an impressive Ron Weaselly from Harry Potter outfit, I think
we got asked about our age and I recall replying with "26, though I've looked like this since 14" (which is actually true).
When we walked further in we came into a eating and drink sort of space with tables and chairs, lots of costumes about
including one that stood out to me being a decent Jamie Hyneman from Mysthbusters near the back chatting with buddies.
I don't recall much after that since I'm pretty sure I woke up just then, but yeah... Still having Halloween dreams.

Also just remembered something about going to an otherwise non-inhabited island and finding what I first thought were dog people
form a distance but turned out to be horse people with a sort of tribal feel, I recall mentioning the book I read a while back about
called "The Michigan DogMan" while observing them with a group at a distance on a hill.

December 6th

1. Yet another dream that felt like playing a co-op Fallout game with my friend, we were looting a bandit camp and running low on ammo.
While looting a tough former living enemy my friend spun around to say there was a "witch" (think L4D) that spawned right
nearby, I told him to hold on a minute since we were sneaking and hadn't been detected yet and I wanted to finish getting the loot.
He ends up standing and running while I'm still looking at an inventory and attracts the witches attention which gets me killed,
I believe he then also gets killed and I see a brief "you died" type of screen before waking up with my back feeling like it was
on fire for a moment where I'd been clawed at by the witch and holy crap did it hurt for a little while like my spine had been hit.
I described that pain in more detail to my friend on Skype just now but I think I'll leave it out of this version, little graphic.

2. This dream, was about a power struggle between the forces of good and evil, an eternal rivalry represented by Chocolate and Peanut Butter...
On the side of good was a man by the name of Dr Chocolate (Doc Choc for short) and a boogieman esk thing that I don't recall the name of
so let's call him Mr Lumpy or something for simplicity sake, Doc Choc was a nice fellow with an almost Doctor Who like visage while Lumpy
was more like some sort of sandman esk peanut butter slime creature with a crunchy skeletal center he liked to expose to scare people.
Three youths, myself and two others (a boy and a girl) were targeted by Lumpy either before or after Doc Choc found us and brought us in.
I recall something about being told about how things were messed up and that we were going with the Doc to some community for safety.
When night time came I was still awake when I heard a door pop open, like when you walk by and the shift in the floor makes it wiggle.
It then started to slowly open horror movie style to reveal darkness, when I managed to get the courage to try and close it Lumpy popped
up and was trying to get into whatever we were in (don't recall if it was a house or some magical/tech thing that changed shape and traveled).
I was calling for help and smacking him in the face in between trying to keep the door shut, eventually someone woke up and tossed me
a hockey stick that had been laying around for whatever reason which I then used to lay a Canada sized smack down on his face.
He retreated after that and Doc Choc came out looking perplexed, we explained what happened and he seemed surprised.
I remember that at some point in the journey we were attacked yet again by flying creatures that were something between insects and birds,
again laying the smack down with the hockey stick while another one of the group members used a net gun to snag them from the air.
I think they were made of Peanut Brittle, I recall the crunching and loot of it and seeing as two characters were already food related?
I remember use crossing the sea at some point and being attacked by a giant shark or something, forget how we got out of that one.
When we reached our destination I remember saying something like "the ship sank" when they asked us how it went.
I'm not 100% sure but I feel like I recall something about powers starting to manifest for the three of us with mine being super toughness,
if I was going to go for some corny super hero name I'd have to go with "Rock Candy" or something like that, Maybe "Jaw Breaker".
After all this whole dream seemed like some kind of Candy Land like story so why not right?

December 7th

Had a short school sort of dream, seemed to be after school at a cafe or the like that had a special for green tea menu items on.
Stuff like green tea ice cream and milkshakes and so forth, I recall students some of whom I recognized (for the dream).
I find it funny that my brain does, not sure if others have the same thing happen or not where you just sort of know you're
supposed to know this person as if they were a real friend or such but it happens a lot for me.

December 21st

Had a dream, about unearthing something, there was talk of metal blocks and thermite to burn through them in order to access something.
I don't remember a whole lot, there was a woman who seemed to be in charge of the project and heavy equipment?
I think titanium was mentioned though I'm not 100% sure of that's what the blocks were supposed to be made of, though I recall some about
"it has a lower melting point than some metals so you're in luck" and "no a flamethrower would not be a good idea, use thermite".

December 22nd

Had a dream that spanned most of the night while broken up into different sections from waking up and falling back asleep,
it started just before what was to become a magical war/apocalypse/fallout with monster/demons/dragons/magic.
The dream seemed somewhat influenced by a recent anime I watched called GATE where modern warfare went up against fantasy.

I recall walking around town on what would have been a normal day, forget if I did anything in particular before the action the started.
Suddenly there was panic and screaming followed by fire and smoke, gun shots and ungodly horrible sounds.
Around a corner came running people followed by monstrous things, everything was happening so quickly.
I recall being chased by SOMETHING and waking up when it caught up to me and attacked, I remained in bed and fell back asleep.
When the dream continued I was with some group, I was on the floor and getting to my feet when I noticed uniforms and guns.
It seemed implied that I had been saved by what was either local police or reserves, possibly both or a mix of a bunch of groups trying to survive.
I think we were in a ruined bank or police station, I recall seeing bars and office like spaces so it could have been either I suppose.
Once again I reached the point in a dream where my real world nature interfered with the setting, we were being given weapons to
help keep the group armed and safe but I couldn't bring myself to use a gun though I wasn't the only one but my reasons were different.
I recall a small group going out for scouting and "hunting" as well supplies, I remember more gunfire...
I'm not quite sure if the dream just fast forwarded or if I'd woken up again and fallen back asleep but things advanced all the same.
Now we were in a larger warehouse like space with a larger group, we had weapons and vehicles, there were even non humans with us.
From what I gather, we had reached a point of mutual destruction where neither side had a significant advantage.
We had numbers and weapons on our side but the "enemy" also had numbers along with magic and sheer brute force.
As with any war though, not everyone of a specific background is part of the fighting and as such there were civilians of both sides.
I seemed to have moved up the ladder in rank with now being some sort of pilot, a decorated one at that.
I recall one non human child in particular, some kind of aquatic race with webbed hands and feet, his name was Malachi.
A human woman was watching over him as a guardian, she seemed nice but I got the feeling she had seen more than she had to with the war.
I remember something about tiny raptors that looked like the main "villain" from Jurassic World, all white and such.
They were lovely though and seemed to more or less look to me like a parental figure, they may have been more dragon like
rather than dinosaur like now that I think about it but I don't recall anything of the sort so I'll call them tiny raptors.
There was a dragon living with us as well though they normally took the form of a cat through transformation magic of some sort,
I think they had a human form as well or at least I hope they did because they seemed to register me as their "hubby"...
I recall one point in particular where I was in a commons sort of area and some lady soldier was going on about how dragons were no
big deal anymore and how they were just tougher then most, she was doing this while giving something to the "cat" and I couldn't help
but inform her that "you know SHE'S a dragon, right?" to which she flinched back a bit but the "cat" just looked pleased and hopped off chuckling.
I recall combat at some point though not with any real clarity, there were energy balls flying around, I remember that much.
I also recall what I can only really call "hell hounds" attacking the settlement, I also recall seeing about 7 or so cats outside.
I'm 99.9% sure they were also supposed to be dragons, young ones at that considering how small they were and that one of them
didn't seem to have a strong transformation yet with some of their scales still showing, from what my "waifu" said ones age
was still clear when transformed because whatever they turned into would be roughly their actually age or maturity level.
She for example while a cat looked like a full grown cat, or when human (though I don't seem to recall much of her features) an adult woman.
The ones we saw outside seemed to be around kitten or child age, the problem being I don't think we could have taken them in
do to how much they would eat not to mention if they were even trustworthy or not, it was heartbreaking.
I remember looking for my room at the end of a long day and when I found it, the lock on the door was broken and the door open a crack.
On the door there was a piece of scrap paper with the words "to my sweet pilot" written in marker, the penmanship was terrible.
I could tell who it was by the words and how "gently" the door had been persuaded into opening, especially when I peeked inside and
saw a human form under the covers with some of my things disturbed in the room including some clothes.
Knowing or rather hoping it was the dragon I entered and shut the door as best I could and started to undress, I mean hey if she's
willing to take the next step why not right? I remember the form twitching when something would land on the floor.
When I eventually most of my stuff off save for the undies or pants, I pulled back the covers to reveal the "waifu" wearing not much
more than a smile and one of my shirts and well I doubt I need to go into much more detail than that here... >//>

Unknown date, multiple nights, December

1. There was a dream that seemed to be anime inspired for design and plot, there were spirits and exorcists.
I remember a young boy who carried a sword similar to the one used by the main character Rin of Blue Exorcists.
there was also a girl dressed like a shrine maiden with some sort of musical instrument (the Biwa seems the most likely fit).
There was also an old man that seemed to be a priest of sorts, possibly related to the shrine girl and was the leader of the group.
I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be part of the dream and not just an observer like some dreams, I recall interacting.
We were at some abandoned shrine grounds hunting the spirit of a woman with long hair that used said hair to attack others, as well as some powers.
She could for example twist things such as cloth, hair, strings etcetera which she would use to attack and kill others.
At some point I recall the priest being wrapped up in his own robes and made helpless, the boy being caught up by rope, the girl being
snared by the string on her instrument or at least by some kind of strings since I recall the instrument still being usable?
My own hair began to twist and move as though she were going to either rip it off or strangle me with it, neither of which was good obviously.
I grabbed the instrument the girl used and without any other ideas I began trying to rock out on it, Master Exploder instrumental if I recall correctly?
It had some effect at the very least which was that it seemed to weakening the spirit or at least making it want to cover it's ears?
Once the others had gotten free I called to the boy as I passed the instrument back to the girl "Throw me the sword, the sword!" but as he was
doing so I recall feeling something strange again with my hair which I'm guessing was the spirit not liking what I'd done.
I woke up around then with that kind of jolting awake you get from a bad dream, figures that it was almost over anyway...

2. Something about the post apocalypse only this time it was more the regular type with pollution and guns and cars and raiders.
I don't remember a lot about it, something about trying to rescue a girl that had been taken, there was also something about a vault?
It felt like Mad Max crossed with Fallout and possibly a pinch of something like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?

3. A short dream about my father learning to walk with his new prosthetic leg rather than being kept in the wheelchair...
He already has one but it's not the right size do to "shrinkage" of the stump so it's uncomfortable to wear more so than usual.
I really hope this is one of those dreams that has something come true, it's heartbreaking to see my own father like this...

December 27th

1. Had a dream about it snowing, which would be nice given that we had a green Christmas here... (Ontario, Canada)
Funny enough, my mom said it snowed a little bit while I was asleep, but only just, it's gone now...

2. Had a Fallout dream with looting and such, I recall the prompt on screen being to press the E key to interact.
Now having dreams about playing Fallout 4 on PC I guess, still waiting to have enough cash to get my new desktop to play it, among others.

3. Now for the longer dream I was talking about at the beginning of this post, it was a fantasy dream with world travel.
The dream started out already in the fantasy world with myself and three others acting as a party of heroes with the
idea being that we had been summoned to this world from our own and were now trying to save it from evil.
Like a number of stories this one begins more or less where the tale of them being heroes would be ending with the defeat
of the villain and then being sent back home because they completed their mission as intended.
I recall climbing a mountain like thing that was made up of broken floating masses of land and the boss at the top, I don't recall
the other members of the group very well though I'm about 80% that out of the four of us there were two guys and two girls.
I was supposed to be the beefy tank of the group in armour with a shield if I'm not mistaken though I forget what my weapon was,
the others were probably the generic classes of a four person party like: Knight, Wizard, Healer, Rogue or something like that.
I think we were supposed to have known each other in our own world but maybe hadn't been friends until being thrown together?
There was also a dragon with us an ally and friend, a female I believe given their personality and voice.
They weren't big enough to carry all four of us so we were climbing the islands by foot with occasional help from her, I think her name was Lina?
We reached the peak and confronted the final enemy which was some sort of mix between Bowser and Ganon with a pig/turtle look,
they were supposed to be some kind of demon lord or otherwise end boss like character that was threatening the world.
We fought atop the mountain were able to defeat him, he revealed his plan to invade our own world which explained the light behind him.
As he died however we were enveloped in the light and when we came to we discovered that we had been thrown back to our world...
The enemy was slain and our quest complete, of course we expected to be sent back at some point but this was was far too sudden.
We didn't even get a thank you from the countless people we had saved or the allies and friends we had made on our journey.
No grand farewell or celebration, no tears of parting or kind words, only a hollow feeling as if we'd been abandoned.
We still had our memories and powers we'd gained during our time in the other world, but we had not choice other than to try and carry on.
We had to try and re-integrate with the society and standards of our world which we had left behind, worst of all being school.
From what I gathered, we were supposed to still be in high school or something like that, oh the joys of trying to fit in all over again...
Needless to say we weren't very good at it, we spent the majority of our free time hanging out in an abandoned lot and talking about
how much we missed those we had left in the other world and wondering what they were up to.
Our dragon friend had come through with us and was using some kind of cat form to not stand out in our world, that's the second dream
I've had where a dragon can take a cat form for some reason or another for the sake of hiding amongst the mundane?
I remember that at one point someone had picked a fight with me in school, they were the stereotypical huge beefy bully.
I judo flipped them with on hand and then threw them against a wall, I then walked over punched the wall causing to crack.
I recall saying something along the lines of "anyone else?" which got the reaction you might expect, fear and distance.
While we were gathered at our meeting place in the abandoned lot and building on said lot, we were confronted by some group
clothed in black with obvious magic going on as they were all wispy and far more intimidating than anything our world would have.
They attacked and to our surprise we couldn't seem to hurt them let alone defend ourselves, I remember picking up a pipe or something
and twirling it like a propeller which seemed to keep them back but my friends had fallen once by one until only Lina and myself remained.
I recall finding the one amongst them that was the leader and managing an attack along with Lina, the attackers left after that.
The leader seemed familiar, like they were someone we were supposed to have known or trusted, possibly the one that had brought
us to that other world in the first place as I recall being incredibly upset with them not only for attacking us.
I think they may have some kind of goddess or the like and that they were doing this to help us move on?
My friends seemed fine or at least they weren't hurt or dead, but when they came to I tried talking about what had just happened
they seemed confused, they couldn't remember anything of what had just happened nor could they recall the time spent in the other world.
They knew we were friends and that we'd spent a great deal of time together, but they couldn't recall anything to do with the other world...
Worse than that however, they also seemed to have lost their powers gained while in the fantasy world, though I supposed the memory loss is worse.
Something the attackers had done to them had taken their memories and powers, I could only imagine the method as I was still fine.
They didn't remember Lina at all either though she had chosen not to speak since it was obvious that would alarm them, they thought her a cat.
I tried to stay in touch with them after that but, it was just too painful, though they could tell we were friends they didn't know why.
The only one I could even speak to about any of this was Lina, who was also not taking any of this well, she was now the one stuck in another
world not her own where no one knew who or even what she was supposed to be, aside from myself of course.
As time passed I realized that maybe they had been the lucky ones, they no longer felt out of place and didn't feel the pain of leaving that world.
I recall countless conversations with Lina about trying to find a way back to the other world, for her at the very least if not also for me.
The slow monotonous days of "normal" life draining me more and more as time went, my only salvation being Lina's company.
I kept remembering faces and places that we had seen and known while in the other world, one in particular being a girls face.
I'm not sure who she was supposed to be in hindsight but I'm guessing they were supposed to be important to the dream me.
A princess perhaps from a kingdom we had saved or maybe the very goddess like character that did this to us...
I remember leaving with Lina and traveling at some point, at times we even let loose and flew with her dragon form when others were absent.
I forget if we were just trying to run away from the monotony or if we were trying to find a way to get back to the other world, maybe we
were just trying to enjoy what would be the rest of our lives in this world, though Lina's would be longer and lonelier than mine in the end.

Well that's it for this year, next comes 2016!
