dream

Somewhere for the annoying and/or off-topic threads to go. Feel free to post about whatever, but abuse will still be dealt with, and possibly with more force. Especially pac-porno. ;)

dream

Post by tar »

I was sleeping earlier and had a dream.
In it i was recording an .inp file.
It was crazy kong , one i seldom play.
My control was compromised for some reason
and I wasn't doing very well in this game.
On the second level , on my last man.
I jump and grab the hammer to kill the fires.
Next , after that i jump the fires and furnace
plus the spaces , up the ladder across walkway . I grab an invisible vine that is the
length of the screen.I thought perhaps this was a game secret i discovered . Swinging back and forth I notice
the areas that are passed become shaded , with the axis
at the top towards the high score. After a few swings my
character goes off the board the to the left into another level that looked something like mr do's castle
going farther north on the upswing was a board similar to rock 'n' rope but not exactly. Last level at the height of the curve looked like super mario world. Also hints of mega man & big karnak. this time i jump and scroll along over a few platforms and avoiding enimies.
when i lose my last man , i see this image of a donkey kong junior arcade machine but different from a distance. the picture becomes closer ,the game screen is foremost now and fading . I hit the escape key and wake up .

yes
a ufo can take me back in time
with a few modern gadgets
then i would be so nervous
and not be able to sleep

not the first time
dreamt of a pc game similar to descent
one cannot easily recount these sleep episodes
to the extent of the detail and impression they leave


i watched the 1 million on puzz-loop , great
large score jump near the end (bonus)
unsure how you figured the chain reactions

it is 6am
i had another dream
in this one i was in an arcade
the game i was playing was similar to afterburner (3D) & Bwings.
except more detailed and at times i found myself mapping the various stages by walking through the arcade and studing the layout of the room .
my control was like a microsoft wingman stick that pivots and multiple buttons.
some details are sketchy and i feel some aspects were significant in a way i am unable to expain.
made it to stage 26
someone was watching the game
it seemed like BBH
i only know him thru this forum and his .inp files & profile page .
he also made it to 26
his end score and time were better
and initials were not the same
we discussed strategy to end that wave
then i noticed his girlfriend and he were confronting one another
i leave the place , and wake up.

thanks! actually i'm trying to get a complete score on the europe clone where you get 1M bonus for finishing and the chains are easier than the difficult j clone with the shark pusher coming along once in a while. Big chains are very difficult to master, when first seeing this game i couldn't imageing how anyone could play this game well, but after lots of practice, periferal vision comes into play to find where things should get thrown, it's quite addictive.

my heart would not slow down until i
fell asleep from exhaustion.
plus all the beer i had that day was totally not phasing me and i was broke.
i am alcoholic , drug use or abuse - depends
coffee , cigarettes , no pills (maybe an asprin , tegretol )
i have quit smoking weed for 5 years now.
want to stop it all.
moral , emotional , physical , phychological , spiritual , financial

makes me a loser

CEH is the spacefirebird champion

I just had this dream .
At the end of it I see a game room .
Most of the games are from late 80's & 90's .
Look for some old games and my quarters .
See some big ugly dudes taking change from some smaller people.
I don't like the situation .
they grab their guns and start shooting
automatic weapons
all the persons are fear stuck and run for the door .
I escape for a few doorways , but they get me.
I am shot-up and lie bleeding and dying , then i wake up .

Taoist philosophy gone horribly, horribly wrong:
Chuang Tzu dreamed he was a bullet-ridden corpse. Upon awakening, he wondered whether he was a man who had dreamed he was a bullet-ridden corpse, or a bullet-ridden corpse dreaming he was a man.
