It should be pretty clear to most everyone that dreams can be categorized mainly into 2 groups: dreams and nightmares. To be more specific, dreams are those that give you a tingly feeling inside and make you feel special and worthwhile, those you never want to end; nightmares however tend to make you scream at the top of your lungs (which you can't do under sleep paralysis) and usually involve falling down, drowning, being eaten by wild animals, or something of the like. You never want to be in nightmares, and it is preferable for them to end as soon as possible.

It has come to my attention that during dreams, in which you are having the time of your life, there is a kind of fear of being woken up, because that would just ruin everything and you will come crashing back down to this materialistic world. One too many times I have dreamed of being the richest man in the world or having a one night stand with Jessica Alba, and just as it was reaching a climax someone somewhere disturbs my beautiful fantasy.

On the flip side, you just want nightmares to be over with as soon as possible. Because they are not pleasant experiences, you wish someone does actually wake you up while you're having one, but usually what happens is that just as you're about to die in your nightmare you wake up.

But, enough of that...

Last night I had a "dream" where I was talking to my (potential) girlfriend's parents and making a complete ass of myself. I was really extremely embarrassed of the whole incident during the "nightmare" and I wished dreadfully that someone would just wake me up and spare me the pain. Although I wasn't lucid dreaming (yeah I went there), I felt like I was watching myself as some kind of audience member, and I was itching to slap my ethereal self across my grim mug.

But then what happened next truly defies all explanation. My (potential) girlfriend took me by the hand to her room, where she began to strip down for me until I was staring at her in her bra and undies. The feeling of wanting to snap out of the previously nightmarish world transformed into an avalanche of euphoria and ecstasy, and you can bet I wanted to indulge myself for a long time. As soon as we were about to "do it", she suggested that we play some Starcraft 2 first (I can only suppose it was some kind of perverse foreplay). In what can only be described in Freudian terms, her banelings were consuming my marines, until I tried to perform some kind of MarineKingPrime-esque micro...this was when things completely changed for the worse. She accused me of not being interested, as I was getting too thoroughly absorbed in the game itself and forgetting about having fun (I swear I wasn't cheating on her, though I can stand guilty to being a playa), but I then went on to throw some IdRa BM onto her bronze league face. At this point I couldn't quite tell if it was a dream or a nightmare but, in any case, be it for better or worse, someone, somewhere, was creeping just beyond the horizon. I could see Incontrol himself just beyond my peripheral vision. All of a sudden Tastless and Artosis were suddenly in the room, and mentoring me on the finer points of SC2, while my (potential) girlfriend had shifted her interest from me to...IdRa, to whom she was now giving a slow and sensual lapdance. Before I could make sense of any of this, I abruptly heard my mum shouting at me to get up or I would be late for school.

I distinctly remember feeling a state of shock and panic, but empathy and sincerity as well, upon awakening. Nerdgasms had consumed my entire body. I had a new found inspiration to do even better at SC2, and also to ask out that girl. I would definitely do it, because now I knew she liked bad boys. All I have to do is show her some RL BM and it's a done deal as far as I'm concerned. If that doesn't work then I should make an ass out of myself in front of her parents again. Bloody Brilliant

Dreams are awesome, but now I know nightmares can be too...

Wow, really?
I have dreams every night. They are so weird and wonderful.

The only "nightmares" I get are the ones where I fall or hurt myself or something like that.
Otherwise the scary parts in my dreams are still good. I wake up and I'm like "lol f yeah!"
you are perfect porcelain.

I once had a dream where it was PvZ on blistering sands, there were roaches in my main killing probes and zerglings in my natural killing probes. It was horrible.

Awesome blog by the way, made me laugh haha. Hopefully it all works out for you.

I've had dreams of running home after a weird, happening. Then started to dream about unit engagements.

Shortly woke up though.
Why don't we see who is the wizard and play some one on one, I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya when I've won, It seems you've got the brawn to beat me if this was all it takes, But I've got skills to pay the bills and punish each of your mistakes.

Huh. Cant say I ever dreamt about a videogame. The closest I ever came was a very convoluted dream where I died with a lover and went to hell with her. Only hell wasnt bad at all, most everybody there was happy. There was no fire&brimstone, instead it was like a giant mall and instead of stores it had different dreams that people could experience. Somehow I met up with geoff incontrol robinson and we played some marvel vs capcom together. Somehow the game was tied into hells power structure, and as our game got more tense hell started breaking down and as a result started "flushing" souls back into the mortal world. Incontrol won in the end and my soul was flushed back into the mortal world as a ghost along with my lover. Once there we engaged in a kind of guerilla warfare with angels from heaven, only the angels showed no respect for human life and used them as hostages to attempt to manipulate us "demons".

Like I said, very convoluted dream. I havent had a nightmare in like 20 years, and I average about one lucid dream per week. Theyre never sexual though, Ive found that trying to make a lucid dream sexual almost always causes me to wake up. I dont see a division between nightmares and dreams...just last night I dreamt that I destroyed reality by time traveling, but it certainly didnt feel like a nightmare or anything like that.
