I dreamed that Thomas Sanders did a video where he revealed that he used to be a member of the NTWF. To which I was very "!!". He went into more detail, and revealed that he was "Garr", with the avatar of an orange Buizel, I think. And I went "oh, Garr, he was always nice!". (??)
In his video, he scrolls through some old posts (including a very old one from me, and on it I don't have an avatar but I'm using the name "Gelquie" instead of my acronym name, which hinted at me that this was a dream), and then he decides to contact and check in with some of the members he knew!
He checked in with me and I ended up saying some very personal things, only realizing too late "wait, no, I don't want that on video!", and suddenly stressing about that. xD (I'm sure the RL Thomas would be very nice about those boundaries, but I also didn't vocalize them and kept answering very personal questions.)
He checked in with the others (though my dream didn't go into detail; apparently my brain does not like to assume how others would catch up!), and we were all like "aw, yeah, Garr. Good times."
I woke up later and remembered we never had a forumer named Garr, nor were they similar to any other forumers of the past that name or avatar could be close to.

I had one of those dreams where you keep waking up, getting up and then realising you're still asleep. Every time was similar: I would wake up, either want to get up and fail, or get up and realise something was weird. However, the weirdness was very mundane and believeable. In one reality, my mum was wearing a very gaudy rabbit necklace which I have never seen in my life. In another, she was in my room doing some chores and I was complaining that I could not get up because I was still dreaming. It was almost like shifting through parallel universes and seeing different versions of me.
I did eventually wake up. I think. Pretty sure I did. >>

I dreamed a story about a maid and her lady as they were getting ready for some event. The maid was new, and she kept making all sorts of blunders that made the lady mad. Calling her by the wrong titles, bringing forth things that were not asked and made things inconvenient, making inane comments while people were trying to admire a painting. The lady was not thinking much of this maid, and saw her as incompetent.
Later, everyone was in the garden and awaiting a specially made cake in another room. It was a cake with a very complex shape, that made it difficult to cut equally. The lady saw fit to try to cut it equally, but she knew from the first cut that she'd done it wrong, and she'd ruined the cake presentation.
She was gone from the room, worrying about the cake presentation, and the people in charge found out about the incident. The lady followed them to the room, pondering what to do.
They found the maid there with the cake knife in her hands, presiding over the once-cut cake.
The lady knew that the maid was taking the fall for her, and that it was more dangerous for her to do so. So she began to make excuses for the maid, and reasons why the cake would still be fine, and suggested cuts that would make it work.
The lady didn't think so poorly of the maid after that.
I woke up before there was any indication to how the incident turned out, but the cut of the cake turned out to not be a huge deal. EDIT: No wait, I remember! The lady's cut suggestions worked, so that even though the puzzle cake (as it turned out to be) wasn't solved so that all pieces were equal, the smaller pieces could be made with delicate and artful cuts and go to those who didn't mind having less cake; in fact there were those who preferred it. So the cake was still a success.

Two weird dreams! Number one. So I was at home with the dog ready for the groomer or babysitter (I'm not sure) to come and pick him up. Except the dog was actually a small brown and white terrier who at the moment was very bushy, and was not the dog we have now. The groomer/babysitter said she'd come pick him up at around the time I normally get up if I don't sleep in. I wake up the next day and it's several minutes past. Whoops. I look outside and see the groomer and her husband. I put on some basic outside clothes (something that doesn't take me long) and rush out to greet her. She opens her car window all placidly. Her: "You were late. =| " Me: "You didn't ring the doorbell?" Her: "No, you should've been out and ready!" Yes, her entire personality was like that. It was super acerbic and everything. I was afraid of her the entire dream. But she picked up the dog, I chatted a bit with the much more amicable but quiet husband, and then she's gone for a while. They come back later and my terrier is all groomed and everything and the groomer says that he was okay, and the dog was just very happy to see me. My family gets along with the groomer lady, but she still gives me the short acerbic treatment for pretty much everything. At least I got my fictional dog back. --- Second dream. (Second dream is Euroatlantis related, so I'll put it in a spoiler box.) Second dream, Euroatlantis had gotten big enough to have its own... webcomic? Production? I don't know? The acerbic lady from before was a director for it, by the way.
But there was a profiles section and apparently, Faith the demon (who looked much different in the dream than in my mental image) had this huge arc in some earlier sessions where she was a very important character, with a very sympathetic character arc that seemed fulfilled with her doing well.
And then comes the session where my character up and kills her for being part of a group that attempted to murder us and not being able to promise she wouldn't murder in the future, and I'm puzzled why everyone is mad at me.
I look at the profile and the production and go "wait, that Faith?! I didn't know it was the same Faith!". Because despite the production levels of the dream, all sessions are still done audio-only, for some reason? And I didn't piece together that this was the Faith who had a big arc that everyone liked that I just killed anticlimactically.
Cue crisis because of the identity mix-up, and cue me wandering the set trying to get my mind off of it. I think the production set was in Hell, based on the backdrop. I have no idea where the production was going. I wasn't about to ask the director to find out.

I had a dream that my teeth were falling out.
Also I was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson trying to solve a homophobic murder that took place in a town square in the early nineties.

A well-to-do crime-solving family is kidnapped!
And now, the only witness to the kidnapping--a random local street pigeon--is the only one who can save them!! =O
(Most of the dream was just the pigeon trying to lay low as it and the family were herded to different rooms in a big mansion by scary dogs. And also the crime lord was a terrifyingly tall hypnotizing witch, and the pigeon struck a deal with her to do a talk radio show for her in exchange for the family’s freedom.
...I like the dream’s basic premise more than its ending. xP I kind of want it as a thing, now. xD)

I had a dream that felt like I was in some sort of point and click adventure game, and I was Amani-ish? (My D&D character in Euroatlantis.) At some point I was teleported to Amani's Varentari home which looks nothing like how I imagined it and is instead some cluttery mess with no sense, but there's bedrooms and a hub of a game area and a "just hang around here I guess" area or something in ways that don't actually look like their respective rooms. Despite being gone, Asariel (their elven parent) and Isra (their sister) barely said hi, as if they were just there. I made some small talk with Asariel with some awkwardness as usual.
So the reason I felt like it was some sort of point and click adventure game was because it was clear I had to do some things to progress, and it was really important to the overarching quest! Somehow. Because one of those things was playing a console video game and beating a particularly hard level. It fits in with the quest because... reasons.
So I picked it up and I was in a game within a game, that involved some sort of fantasy war epic. At first the character was just going around and gathering information, for which they would later choose a side and then be involved in some dangerous quest. There came a point where I got stuck because I couldn't decide which faction was better and what was better to beat the game. Asariel came in after getting out of the shower and changing and saw this, and saw how important this was to the overarching quest (they could've spared a few seconds to explain it to me), and knowing that I would struggle, offered to play this section for me so that I could progress. I hesitated for a long time; there were a lot of things going on in my head. Eventually, I gave Asariel the controls.
Asariel immediately picked the Loyalists side (to which I was really surprised! Not that I remember what the other side was about), and explained that it's the 'correct' choice and the easiest one to beat the game with. At this point I notice that the controls I gave Asariel had some casing removed, but it didn't seem to be a big deal. Cue Asariel playing this hugely complex sequence, with some dialogue and command options, but otherwise they were playing this huge action sequence that hugely ramped up the difficultly level from before. I watched with the same intensity as if it were real, as the character went from place to place, jumped onto an enemy dirigible, did mid-air sabotages, and after a very long time, eventually, somehow, made it through. To which they finally got the concluding cinematic.
"I" went to third person Amani and commented how I could never reach that far ever! Their Ren (parent) is so good at gaming and really saved them! "...Ren?" My character turns around, and the "screen" focuses on lightning-shaped scars on their hands; Ren had collapsed. Dramatic music swelled in the background, and Isra came in and looked shocked. My character realized that Asariel was in the shower, and it must've electrocuted them!
To which my brain went "no, this is stupid, that's literally impossible and makes no sense". So as the music swelled on and the choir chanted in the background as the characters went to Asariel's side to see if they were actually dead as the music implied or if they could save them, and before I could suggest that my character take out their healer's kit to stabilize them in case they're just unconscious, my dream took offense at my logic and complaint about the dramatic twist and woke me up. =|

So my dream gave me an idea that would've served me better in my college days, but here it is anyway.
I dreamed that I was in my college dorm (different college than what I attended, I think?), and a friend from high school and I were planning to have dinner together at one of our places. (Even though we went to separate colleges; whatever! We're hanging out! If only in my dreams.) I had some sort of idea I wanted to share with her, and she was intrigued.
I got into the dorm via the crawlspace (?) with McDonald's fried chicken in hand (??), and I met my friend inside. I let her know my plan for a cheap but good and healthy dinner. For I had rice, a rice cooker, frozen peas, soy sauce, and now McDonald's chicken. So I could make a very quick and easy rice dish! It wouldn't be high quality, but it'd serve well in a pinch! My friend liked the idea. So the rice was cooked, the frozen peas prepared, and the meat shredded. We put it all together and gave it some soy sauce, and we had a good time together.
Afterwards I was crawling back and forth through the crawlspace out of indecision for going to an event or class, and I don't remember much of the dream after that.
I don't even know if McDonald's sells fried chicken, at least not by itself. o_o If it does, I'm sure it wouldn't look as good as it did in my dream. (I don't even like McDonald's. xD ) Maybe a fried chicken place would do better with that.
Well, of all dream meals, I don't think I'm going to try it because I can do better than that, but if this dream came many years earlier, then maybe.

I had a dream there was a weird Ace Attorney crossover game with a certain other sort of trial game where the Ace Attorney characters were forced to go through... well, I'll explain. Apollo was at the stand, and it was the section of the game where the main characters were prompted to talk secrets or other very vulnerable portions of their lives, and they're not able to forego answering the prompts, lest they face severe consequences. So Apollo Justice was at the stand, and he was prompted to talk about the saddest moment of his life. He and the player are given a multiple choice prompt. Is it... A) His backstory relating to his childhood? B) What happened to him in the first part of Chapter 5 of Spirit of Justice? C) The latter part of Chapter 5 of Spirit of Justice? D) The history and current happenings of some random creature that he only met during this game? (Super spoiler version) A) The death/disappearance of his parents and subsequent lonely life in the orphanage? B) His near-drowning? C) The death of his adoptive father? D) The history and current happenings of some random creature that he only met during this game? Several non-exhaustive good options! Which one was correct? Why, D, of course! How could it be any other! Apollo comments how the creature's suffering just makes him so sad and that he could never compare to their suffering! Cue the camera pan to the creature, who's a sort of animu purple, blue, and sea green swirled colored creature, with big sad blue eyes and little limpy little hands. While the design could fit any cutesy animu creature, their expression and demeanor is just so sad. Clearly the one most suffering out of this terrible situation, I mean, how can you ignore those eyes! The dream didn't actually go into detail about what happened to this poor creature. It's implied that it was described by whatever happened earlier in the game to this creature that only shows up in this crossover. Clearly it must've been horrible! The poor soul! I guess! Totally worse than all that Apollo has gone through.

Huntress told me that a great prank would be to coat this person's car steering wheel and dashboard with WD-40 (in the dream, basically fancy black grease). (The person in question was either a Melville Councilperson from Town, or my dad, depending on what the dream was doing. xD) But after I applied the grease to the inside of the car, I realized that I'd need to return the car back into the person's driveway so they wouldn't realize I had pranked them--which meant that I had to drive it and get the grease all over me instead, soooo that backfired x'D

Had a dream last night where I figured out the main villain in Blossoms by Twillie. It's actually a pretty plausible theory as well, given what I know about Twillie and the story so far. But it's also out of left field and would be major spoilers if I shared, so I'm not going to share. But it basically solidifies the start of a theory I have had, so I guess it kind of makes sense I'd dream an answer.

This has me very curious now what happened in this dream, even if for spoiler reasons I could neither confirm nor deny if it's accurate at all xD

This has me very curious now what happened in this dream, even if for spoiler reasons I could neither confirm nor deny if it's accurate at all xD The dream itself is pretty boring and non-spoilerly. I was browsing the forum or discord or something, and thinking about your comics, and somehow landed on this theory. I actually have a lot of dreams where I'm just interacting with my computer, and all the interesting parts is me reading and thinking and such, much like real life.

In my dream, I had two Baby Cyubunnies. One was named BabyBunny, but I was probably going to give them up in favor of my new addition, Baby, since they were otherwise identical.
Not sure when I started getting such rare names, but they were cute, at least.

Neopets related dream this time.
I had a dream about Neopets and gender last night. So my darigan lupe Indal is genderfluid, and while they're open to pronouns, generally I either go with what they feel at the moment or use 'they'.
Last night, I thiiink there was some new thing? Either a small event I stumbled across or a battledome challenger; I don't remember. But I got through it, and there was some result at the end that was randomised. It showed Indal at full size, wearing the goofiest facial expression (think the April Fools chia) that made me go "Indal what happened to you?!". Then I looked at the description that was something along the lines of "Indal's gender has changed to neutral!". And then I was excited because "ohmygosh, they finally implemented nonbinary genders?!".
So I looked at their pet profile, and indeed, their gender marker was changed to "neutral" or "nonbinary" (I don't remember which), and it was great! Except... Indal still had the same goofy expression to them that just ruined the whole look. And then I went "oh no... I'm not going to be able to keep this gender, am I?".
I thiiink afterwards I went to reluctantly send them to the battledome to fight the lab scientist to change their gender, but the dream ended around there.
