Bathroom Buffoonery

Date Dreamed: 2014-01-19

Dream

Jimmy and Ryan are taking a bath together, but not in a homosexual way or anything. For all appearances it is a normal shower tub combo (aka not big enough to fit one person comfortably), yet they’re sitting in it as if it were a hot tub. I’m also in the bathroom, and manage to generate a large wave in the toilet, and splash a bunch of water on to the floor (I don’t think there were any waste products in the water since I wasn't grossed out by it, but it still held the stigma of being toilet water). I soak up the water with a pair of towels while a crowd gathers outside the bathroom. We all reach an awkward impasse, as the crowd is waiting to get into the bathroom, Jimmy and Ryan are waiting for me to leave so they can get out of the bath, and I’m waiting for them to finish their bath so that I can hang my towels to drip dry over the tub. We all seem to be using the standard locker-room practice of refusing to acknowledge that some people in the room may or may not be naked.

Context Explanations

Jimmy and Ryan were friends of mine in high school.

Plot Holes

The design of toilet bowls makes it practically impossible to generate a wave large enough to splash out. 

Erection?

Awkwardly Yes

Analysis

I should probably start by saying that the nudity was used to heighten the awkwardness, and wasn’t really sexual. The whole dream just seemed to be a veritable cornucopia of embarrassment, and a bathroom is probably the best setting for such a dream. My subconscious seemed to be crafting the most inelegant situation imaginable, but nothing too awkward has happened to me recently so I can’t really place this in my life.

Auguries

Water played a large role in the dream, and can represents the ability to change to meet the needs of a situation. A future awkward situation can be avoided with fluid behavior. 

Undead Assault

Date Dreamed: 2013-12-21

Dream

A group of British space travelers are colonizing a new planet. Shortly after they arrive a plague starts to spread that causes large red sores on the skin and is deadly after a short time. Before they get that sorted out an army of undead arrives. Their town is on a hill with a fortified wall built around it, and the undead are landing boats in the nearby bay. The dream turns into a real time strategy game and I’m trying to repel wave after wave of undead with medieval infantry. Two huge ships of undead arrive and the odds are overwhelming so the British retreat behind the fortifications. Now I’m controlling a vampire unit and trying to fly over the wall. The flight controls are terrible and I can’t get it to work. The undead army moves away from the city after this (I’m guessing because they can’t breach the walls?). I notice a building near the beach that has multiple squads of pikemen standing around it and realize it is a unit spawner for my army. I debate if I should use these units to pursue the undead or guard the shore.

Context Explanations

A unit spawner is a video game construct the continuously generates game pieces. In this case, squads of pikemen (dudes with long spears). All my other video game jargon should be fairly understandable.

Plot Holes

I’m not real sure why people capable of space travel were engaging in medieval style combat, and this is possibly the first time that an army has ever been defeated by poor flight controls.

Erection?

Strategically Yes

Analysis

This seems like a big amalgamation of media I’ve experienced in the recent past. I see some Age of Empires II (real time medieval combat), Game of Thrones (undead armies and siege battles), Lego Marvel (poor flight controls), Dr. Who (British space travel), and Heroes of Might and Magic (unit design, especially the undead). The general plot is very similar my last dream, so you could probably copy that analysis for this one. I sure have a lot of dreams about vampires. Also, I think colonizing a new planet is crazy dangerous.

Auguries

This dream sounds kind of like Ragnarök. We’ve also been getting plenty of snow recently so this might be the start of Fimbulwinter. I’m pretty sure the apocalypse is coming.

Vampires with Vision Problems

Date Dreamed: 2013-12-09

Dream

A family of vampires is concerned because their daughter is losing her vision. They somehow find a fruit that fixes the problem (convenient). An older male vampire comes to visit and also an aunt and cousin. The adults are having a discussion at the kitchen table while the girl and her (female) cousin eavesdrop outside the room. The adults get angry that the visiting man is rich and that the aunt lost her version. My dream retcons some coke-bottle glasses onto her. The dream switches to a scene with the mother and daughter and they are trying to fix some problems (unspecified) by putting the house out to sea (?). The mother leaves because the process will age anyone inside the house (?!?), but tells the daughter that it will be good for her to stay, which the daughter resents. The daughter then has a large dog with her whose name is Worf and she hugs him (awww). The seas turn rough, Worf is gone like he was never there, and one wall is suddenly missing. The daughter is considering if she could survive the swim to shore.

Context Explanations

Worf is a character from Star Trek: TNG, but he’s a Klingon not a dog.

Plot Holes

Putting your house out to sea to solve a problem is pretty illogical, but the part that really gets me is that they're vampires for no reason. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Erection?

Peculiarly Yes

Analysis

I’m disturbed by the fact that my vision is getting worse as I get older, I pine for the simplicity of a life at sea, I want to hug Worf, and I think that making everyone a vampire can make any story interesting.

Auguries

The rough seas and the idea of swimming to shore mean that I will face hard times and need to make a difficult decision.
