A dream I had two nights ago concerned my girlfriend and I trying to physically hand-assemble colorful, 3D backdrops for a fighting game. The most vivid one was a grassy path crossing a small wooden bridge with a stream in the background. Afterwards we went snowboarding with my family.

Had an incredibly surreal dream that I was playing the not-yet-released GTA4.  In it, the player was sucked into abstract worlds where they were handed random items (bolts, oddly shaped metal filings, playing cards with strange illustrations), and were required to match them up in certain ways.  There was no sense or order to any [...]

I had a short dream in which my girlfriend kept stealing my second monitor, and hiding it from me somewhere in the apartment.

My latest dream took place outside in a sunny rural environment.  There was a small model town that my girlfriend and I journeyed through.  When we went outside, I caught a plague that resulted in everyone around me, with the exception of my girlfriend, dying immediately when I came within 10 feet of them.

In the first part of this dream I was in a department store with an old friend, helping him shop for a bike. The area was well lit, but the floor was strangely uneven, and the walls were oddly angled. We soon left the store, but later in the same dream I found myself in [...]

In this dream I was with my family and girlfriend.  We were in a high-altitude remote mountain cavern, exploring unknown ruins that we thought no one on earth had touched in thousands of years.   There were ancient wall carvings, relics and monuments, and an extreme sense of solitude overall. Exploring a side-passage led us to [...]

In a short dream I had, I was wandering through a Sears-like department store, in the microwave and oven section.  As an advertising gimmick, each of the ovens and microwaves had a live chicken, turkey or duck wandering around in it, all looking understandably frightened.
