What did you dream about last night?

[Dreambiscuit 9,671]

I had a dream that took place at a shopping mall at night, with a raging rainstorm outside. I came in from the storm to an eatery, and there was a gigantic snake inside, about 20 inches in diameter, dark green and scaly. Someone there took a sword and chopped its head off, so everyone could enjoy their meals. Later, Henry Winkler as The Fonz, came in, wearing his signature Fonz costume, only rearranged; the leather jacket covered half his torso, with the other half re-cut to cover one of his legs to the knee, and his blue jeans conversely came up to cover half his torso. It looked weird. Then another giant snake came in, this one dark grey and scaly, and this time I was the one with the sword; a amalgamation of a samurai sword with a cutlass handle. So I chopped the snake's head off and pinned its head to the floor with the blade while its disconnected body continued to writhe around the room. There wasn’t much story beyond that, but The Fonz was cool and I enjoyed meeting him. This was not a typical dream for me, thank goodness.

I dreamed about my PC overheating and exploding.

Last night was the first time I can remember that I actually had one of those infamous 'naked in public' dreams. There was nothing sexy or even interesting about it. To be honest, it was more embarrassing than anything else. I had somehow, over the course of this dream lost my clothing, and spent the rest of the time trying to preserve my modesty and find something to cover up with. There wasn't a lot of staring by others in the dream; it was more a matter of, 'poor girl, she lost her clothes' so it was more sympathetic than a case for ogling. Normally, I'm not that concerned about nudity in its proper time and place, but this was just matter-of-fact nudity and no fun at all.

Those dreams happen to me too, Dreamy.

My latest dream had Zipp and Pipp in it. I don’t distinctly recall why they were there, they just were I guess. Dream logic. They might’ve been considered IRL royalty in that dream because I do distinctly remember someone calling Pipp “Princess”. Interesting how the only pony related dreams I have seem to be G5 related.

I had fragments of dreams loosely strung together without much storyline, but one recurring theme took place at a house I once lived in, and there was a mountain lion making a home in the back yard with a litter of cubs. She was so scary but under the circumstances was skittish and afraid for the welfare of her little ones. In the dream I kept forgetting she had taken up residence, so every time I ran through the yard and accidentally upset her, I felt really bad about it. I didn’t want to bother a mommy cat and her cubs. That was all there was to the dream really. 

In reality she probably would have ripped my gizzards out as soon as look at me, especially if she was protecting a litter.

I don't remember my dream well. I only remember that there was a massacre in the city. I will not describe the details of this dream. I don't remember having such dreams.

[Envy 6,145]

I dreamed about making the move that I already made. It was very weird.. Reliving feelings that have now mostly passed. I wish my mind wouldn't do that to me.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 2,878]

Today I had the most interesting and best dream I've had in a while. I flew to the USA. I was in the city center and there I met someone from this forum. We walked around the city and met Biden and Trump. Then I remember that I flew back to my country and then returned to the USA again and met someone from this forum again. We met Biden and Trump again. We all went somewhere together. On the way, Trump recited a poem. We came to the stage, there were a lot of people next to the stage. Trump and Biden began to speak on stage, and we stood next to each other. I don't remember anything further.

My female dog, Freya, visited me in my dreams again. But as usuall she went back to where she belongs now. Miss her so much... But when she visits me in my dreams, I wake up very Happy and full of energy.

I used to visit another pony-related site now and again that had a regular thread regarding dream experiences related to the franchise. It was quite a surprise to see that a couple of the same things that happened to me also happened to others, and I would like to see if that also applies to the users here as well.

1. The Crypto-Favorite

Despite extensive efforts to do so, some people just can't seem to dream about their favorite ponies no matter what. There could be many reasons for this, but one that I have experienced personally is the phenomenon of the crypto/shadow favorite. In my own case, the member of the Mane Six that I have had the most dreams about is one that I don't think of frequently at all: Rarity. You could hardly choose a personality more dissimilar to my own, and I always thought I would find her annoying in real life. To my surprise, this turned out to be something that others had experienced as well.

By far the most common thing to happen to me is to see MLP figurines or other toys in my dreams instead of cartoon ponies. Many of these are singularly excellent in their design and frequently follow patterns that I'm all but certain do not exist. One dream I had was about wandering around a big house during a party and finding a room with miniature plastic Trixies scattered all over the floor. I'm fairly certain that most of them were different from one another in terms of posing, but they were all fairly uniform in size. They definitely weren't mine, but there were so many that I stole a few thinking they wouldn't be missed. I've had numerous other dreams that followed a somewhat similar pattern of going somewhere and finding pony-related items. Recently, I dreamed about entering the back of a closet to find a room filled with fantastical items that almost seemed to have been left there as a "gift" for me to discover: among these were some well-crafted plushes filled with beans that depicted a variety of MLP characters in a stretched-out prone position.

When I shared my thoughts about this, I was told that it wasn't uncommon at all: probably easier for your brain to make a pony into a 3D object than it is for the opposite to occur. 

Has anyone else experienced similar things in their own dreams?

I’ve only ever had one dream where the ponies themselves were in it. And in that case it was just Pipp and Zipp from G5. Neither of which are my favorites from that generation.

I have had a handful of dreams with MLP merch in them though. Plushies, figures, stuff like that. Interesting how those dreams seem to be more common among other people too!

Oh wow, it looks like their theories held up once again.

I have a feeling that it would be easier to establish a working theory as to why the scenario in your second sentence happens moreso than the first. 

Not very scientific, but the MLP personality quiz I found here said I was somewhat like Rarity which I would have never expected. The anatomy of the brain and how it works even under normal conditions is in many aspects still an open question: how dreams work, what dreams even are, and what parts of the brain are even involved in dreaming is really an open question. Throw in the question of individual personality/psyche/soul and you're headed for deep waters very quickly.

Last night I either dreamt about Lyra Heartstrings or Sweetie Drops/Bonbon. Whichever is the one @Totally Nyx doesn't like.😉

[Iforgotmybrain 5,534]

My latest dream had Princess Luna in it, pretty fitting. Although she wasn’t directly in the dream, or at least I didn’t interact with her in any way. She was in a soap opera that I was watching within the dream. I’m not even kidding, she was just a character in this one specific soap opera I watch sometimes. It was just her amongst the human characters, no other ponies. It was just like she was another actor on the show.

I had a hodgepodge of disjointed images and themes, but mostly I remember I was using GPS to find a random cactus out in the desert. There was no reason for it, but considering the poor quality of my sleep for the past few days I’m not surprised.

I remember just a fragment of a lengthy dream, in which I saw at least two girls in silk toga-like dresses; one blue and one white, sitting at a banquet table with Mother Angelica. The girls were some sort of ‘arranged’ brides to be and they seemed to have mixed feelings. Mother Angelica was giving them some comforting perspective on the matter. That’s all I remember.

Finding the Magnificent and Legendary Alicorn Twilight Sparkle

Please note this works on Dream Logic, so details are inconsistent.

It was Earth's Star Trek era, humanity was just beginning its major explorations of the galaxy.

Many years ago there had been a starship of ponies led by Princess Twilight Sparkle to explore the galaxy. (dunno where the ponies came from, but not from earth??)

However, they had been lost to space for a long time, and presumed dead. While Starfleet searched for them, the efforts seemed futile for a long time.

But many years later, a highly possible candidate for the lost starship was found, many lightyears away, very far from all civilization.

As our vessel approached the wreckage of the ship, we were able to see the saucer clearly. It was cold, but still intact. The other parts of the ship were not so lucky, yet stayed together drifting amongst a nebulaic starscape.

 

 

Once we docked with the vessel, scans showed a breathable atmosphere inside, so we gathered a large search party to search the ship. The interior was much larger than the exterior, and nothing like a human starship. Supposedly made with the Magic the ponies possessed.

After searching through magnificent structures and winding halls, we reached what seemed to be the center of the vessel, a platform suspended and converging halls and pathways around it.

In the middle was a glowing, pulsating shield bubble, and the silhouette of an alicorn, asleep in a fetal position with ethereal hair waving. As we approached, it was clear this was no small creature. It towered over us even in its weightless sleeping state.

 

 

Deactivating the stasis bubble, the alicorn descended and awoke, her face clearly visible. It was the legendary Twilight Sparkle, last of the alicorns. She was massive, her head about half the size of an entire human body. She looked at us, and then demanded why we awakened her.

 

 

We explained we were here to find her and return her home.

She refused, stating she was not going back to the life she had, and she had a responsibility here. Regardless, we said we were under orders.

She sneered at us, her canines sharp and fearsome. Through gritted teeth she demanded us to leave before she destroyed us. So we left.

Back in our ship, the outside view had changed. The starscape was now almost completely blotted out by space station after space station, all floating and operating in tandem. An entire civilization in space.

 

 

Regardless, per our orders, we fired a grappling line at the saucer and began to drag it with us at high speed. Unfortunately, it hit a few of the surrounding stations, but was fine.

As we continued through the field of ships, what appeared to be massive cityscapes opened up before us

This is where things jumped, and for some reason a friend and I were in that area, down on the ground. We knew we needed to leave, but marveled at the fractal ingenuity of it. Below our feet were what looked like tiny forests teeming with life. However, around us was a lavish hotel room, with one window-wall being made from what looked like falling rainwater. Outside of this wall was pure, vacuous space, yet we were kept safe. The entire place was obviously extreme magic, and did not seem to function in any way we were familiar with. I woke up shortly after this.

Spoiler

I woke up from this dream at about 2am, had typed this up by about 2:30am, and started working on these animations at 2:50 -ish because it was just so vivid. Finished up the final render at 7:30pm, so about 16.5 hours. This was the first dream I had about ponies in a long time, and it's such a blessing to be able to both have the dream and then be able to make it! I wouldnt be able to do any of this without God :3 Some liberties were taken on that lost shot. In the dream it was just as if they had always been there when we emerged from Twilight's vessel. Either way, hope yall enjoyed it. I'll probably repost this in another topic with more info about the process of creating the shots (post is here!)

My last dream had the “Da Vinki?!” twins in it, again. They were just out in public and I recognized them and got a picture, nothing crazy. But I don’t know why they’re such a common occurrence in my dreams, it’s honestly a bit weird.
