Have any of you ever had a realization about a game after years of playing it that after you realize it is just so obvious that you can't figure out how you never got it before? That was me today with Pokemon Go. Ekans is just snake spelled backwards and it's the name of a snake pokemon.

I literally...just remembered today is my birthday.

My dream life just never gets a break. This time, when the group of us was headed back to the highway, some chick rides up on a horse just in time to save Andrea from a walker, and she's looking for Lori, says Rick sent her because the kid's been shot. The boy, Carl. Not the girl we're looking for. So Lori goes off with her, and the rest of us head back to the highway. Group's split up now, and we gotta make a choice. Go to the farmhouse where the chick on the horse took Lori, or stay and keep looking for Sofia. Ain't no easy choice, and me? I'd rather stay and look for that little girl, but I think we're gonna go to the farmhouse a few miles away.

My real life isn't so high adrenaline. The restaurant is doing well, we're making a decent profit. But I got a couple positions I need filled. So. Yeah. Anybody's looking for employment in the restaurant business, I might have something for you.

Success! Maman has decided with everything that happens around here she would feel better if Casper lived inside the house with us and the dogs. So now I just need to take him to the vet to get his shots and a collar and he'll be safe inside from anyone trespassing in our yard. She says his bed will have to be downstairs in the living room but that's fine. He's going to be in the house now.

Had another cycle of dreams and I honestly feel like I'm starting to get whiplash or something. My life seems to have more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Only you know, it's my life so... Or dream life anyway. Either way, I'm feeling more than a bit overwhelmed. I don't even want to go to sleep, because who even knows what's next at this point!

So.... is there any sort of consensus or whatever on how similar the Dreams mirror your lives? Obviously not like magic or the time period or anything like that since that seems something only here. But....events or dynamics or something?

Also...can you have a nightmare in a Dream? Is that a thing? Like you wake up from a nightmare but you're still in the Dream that people talk about on here? Also why is part of my hair white?

So. I think I understand why you all talk about dreams so much. because I had one last night that was super intense. Like it started with me going to my best friend's house and hanging upside down on his front porch which seems like a thing I do often, cause I was really comfortable with it and it just felt normal. But then we went looking for a dead body in the woods, because I'd been listening to my dad's police scanner cause he's the sheriff. He caught me, I abandoned Scott in the woods and the next day he said he got attacked by something, like a wolf but there are no wolves in California.

I started putting the pieces together, and realised my friend had been bit by a werewolf. Completely absurd, I know. He blew me off, but then he invited the new girl to a party and the party was the night of the full moon and I had a really bad feeling about it. I did a lot of research and when Scott came over, he got really angry with me which never happens because he knows how I am, and he slammed me into the wall and I thought he was going to hit me, but he didn't and he went to the party, but he had to leave because he started turning into a werewolf!

LYDIA! You were there and you like completely blew me off. Like that was normal. So rude! And DEREK was there too! Being broody and creepy and sulky too.

Wait, did Kanye West really announce he's running for president or was that a joke? Cause I really can't tell. Although, I'm guessing that everyone else is pretty much in the same boat.

Shout out to my boyfriend who built a blanket fort for his dogs and me for us to hide under while fireworks go off. I'm sure they're still going off, but I've got noise canceling headphones on and we're watching cute animal videos on youtube. I hate fireworks almost as much as I do storms.

My sister took me to fireworks on the beach and it was amazing.

And I woke up with more dreams. Man the Auradon kids are so stuck up. For a place that invited Villain Kid's over…they sure try and blame them for everything. Granted I caused all the problems apparently. I stole a Mal's bracelet. A suit if armor mascot uniform and left the bracelet in it's place. Stole Audrey's dress. Kicked the couch while Mal was pouring tea and spilled it on Ally's dress. And a magic carpet. A magic freaking carpet. Cut the wire to the music. But that one was so Freddie could sing. And I might have kidnapped King Benny.

[Maren/Vanessa]
The same carpet turned up in my room this morning. I haven't checked it out or anything. But it looked exactly like the one in my dream! I figured maybe tomorrow since today was the fourth.

I guess it's safe to assume that these dreams are going to be a frequent thing?

It's hard to believe that there are any truth behind these dreams. My life in my dreams is very different than the one I live. Yet it makes sense all at the same time.

Oh my god, has nobody else heard of the term "birthday month"?! The barista didn't seem to agree with me that you have a whole month to celebrate your birthday.

Tonight's celebrations come with fireworks. I take no responsibility for how they turn out. Obviously I don't have control of the presentation.

Well.... More dreams and a necklace. Waking up to things from your dream...is that just normal here? After going back in time to see who was following my best friends...now we went back to present. Except those landings out of the tunnel are not predictable. I dropped us in the boys locker room practice right when the water polo team finished practice. I think Vanessa may have wanted to kill me for that one. From what I can tell it wasn't even my fault! I got a pink demerit slip and it definitely was not my first one. Dream me is just as much trouble as I was in high school it seems.

First? A stupid dream that could've given me a near concussion. No thanks. Dream me found a way to get that 130 year old escape pod down to Earth, though. Unfortunately, it was a bumpy landing. Actually, that's an understatement. It was a bit worse than a bumpy landing. But I found out who was waiting on the ground for me. Or why dream me went to the ground. All over a guy.

Also, what is with random objects showing up? Is that going to be a thing?

I'm not one to believe in the whole idea that the Dreams like to 'troll' us or the like.... but doing the supposed 'greatest hits' of my relationship/marriage in them on the anniversary of when my divorce was finalised? Sometimes I have to reconsider that belief.

I can't even say why I decided to check this forum out.

Just saw it mentioned in a customers browsing history while I was fixing up their computer. Maybe I was expecting something like Reddit, but um...hey everyone!

I'm Bow.

I'm pretty excited for the fourth. And my parents are taking the twins with them to some party so I can go to the fireworks without the little terrors.


What are everyone's plans for the fourth? Beach and fireworks? What are we doing?

Dream me is pretty good with kids. That part is similar at least. I have to say I'm a pretty awesome uncle. Not to brag or anything but I've even been called the best on occasion. This was one of those dreams though where it felt like more people were dying than we helped.

And woke up to the necklace I wear in them. These random gifts will never not be weird.

It's a good thing the delivery guy can't see what's in the box. Otherwise he'd be judging me on the quantity of duct tape I just ordered for the garage. Somehow we're out of it already.

After that dream? I don't think I ever want to fly again.

So, in the dreams, the group is moving on, trying to get to Ft Benning. Honestly, I don't have much hope. But at the moment it doesn't matter. We got caught by a hoard, most of them had to hide under cars and hope for the best. The asshole who left my brother cut himself, and I ended up saving his sorry ass by dragging him down and throwing a corpse over him. Not a fun time. Then one of the kids caught a walker's attention and she ended up bolting into the woods and I tried to track her. Apparently dream me is a survivalist or something, because I know my way around hem woods. Didn't find the girl, though, and by mid afternoon a bunch of us headed back to the highway, Rick and Shane and Carl stayed back to have another look around for Sofia. What chance does a 12 year old kid have, alone in the forest that's infested by walkers? It don't look good for her.

So it looks like the Loch Ness Monster was just a catfish all along. At least, the most recent image is.

So now the fog has turned into big Giants made of rocks meandering around town....

Yep, I'm definitely staying inside. If anyone needs a suggestion of what to watch I highly recommend Floor is Lava on Netflix. I think I might keep an eye out for casting for the next season and drag Helen and Julian on it with me. The best part is how teammates react when their team members fall into the lava never to be seen again.

So now we got Earth Giants. Because the scary mist, blackout, and tremors weren't enough, now I gotta hope I don't get squished just driving to a crime scene.

Okay of course if you see any Earth Giants wandering around, just leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.

Otherwise they'll smash things and no one wants that.

I'll probably be offline the rest of the day as there's some place I need to be...

This...isn't normal, is it? Snow, and fog?

The last time there was measurable snow was January of 1962. It has happened before. We may call it a snow storm, but it is nothing compared to the Plains and the midwest of this country.

[Added later, once the Earth Giants happen]

Okay. Who rolled a natural 1?

Um no.

This fog, no.

NO!

Snow I was good with, fog I am not! NOT!

Has anyone seen the Mist - don't go outside! Lock your doors, don't be near windows.



bbl setting up a pillow fort in my bathroom to live there FOREVER!

This reminds me of winter when I was a kid.

Playing in the snow, making snowmen, stealing a atv running into snow banks.

Good times.

Why is it the lost and found box seems to fill up quicker during the summer.

If you lost an item at Fangtasia, come to the bar, asked for Tiffany.

Any unclaimed items will be thrown out by Sunday midnight.


My bar isn't a suitcase for anyone items.


Other news, first night off in awhile, the snow is crazy, right?

I plan a self-care night at home with a bottle of wine and binging whatever reality show I can get my hands on.

It's still almost two weeks until the 4th of July, and the neighbors are shooting off fireworks. It is SNOWING IN JUNE and the neighbors are shooting off fireworks.

Just. ...Wake me up in 2021.

It’s snowing!. It reminds me of snowy days in New York. I don’t know why but I’m not complaining.

Yes, this sounds about right. I thought we were overdue for freakish weather.

Snow.

It's June. Note to Mother Nature - you suck.

Hi. I'm Michael. I don't know why someone pointed me at this network as a place to network or whatever. I thought it might be like Tinder, which is complete shit, but funny at the same time. I have an audition today, but it's snowing, the traffic is brutal because nobody can drive in it, and my cat spilled my coffee everywhere. How is your day?

As if it wasn't bad enough we get snow every damn December. It's fucking June.

I bet it's not snowing up in Canada right now. This is bullshit.

Well my dreams just keep getting more and more insane as well as awkward. For one thing, Finn and Bellamy men are idiots; especially when they're teenagers. They really make the dumbest decisions. Other than that, we found out that on the Ark they're planning on killing 300 people to conserve oxygen so we need to let the Ark know that we're alive somehow. So that they'll know Earth is habitable. We end up shooting up rockets and hope that we're not too late.

The way these dreams are going, I'll be very surprised if we end up doing it in time. It's just hard to stay optimistic with these dreams.

After a few days of having Cesare looking at us like we betrayed him by bringing another puppy in the house, we gave my dad a golden retriever for Father's Day yesterday. I know I know, you're never supposed to give anyone an animal as a present without discussing it with them first. But. It's been awhile since Sunny passed, and I knew how much she meant to him. And.. it felt right. And I am really, really glad we did it. You can tell while he was in no way expecting it, that he was a good surprise. Ziggy's going to miss his playmate I know, but it's not like we're not going to take the boys to go visit him.

Well, I've finally had a dream. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, though.

Is it possible for game systems to get haunted or possessed? My Xbox One keeps turning itself on repeatedly.

Turns out dream!me can be a real idiot sometimes.

So after we blew up Starkiller Base, the First Order found our base on D'Qar and we had to mak a hasty exit. I suggested a plan where I would distract The First Order while the others got off the planet, which was all well and good, right? And while we did manage to blow up the Dreadnought, I got extremely cocky and got most of Cobalt Squadron and our bombers killed we suffered enough casualties that Leia demoted me to Captain since she had technically told me to come back once we pulled off our initial distraction and I hadn't listened. Am I surprised that I didn't listen? Nope. Cause it definitely sounds like something I have done in the past. I just never got an entire squadron killed in real life.

Considering how bad I am at listening to authority figures, it's a wonder I lasted as long as I did in the Navy.

Also, for someone Leia's size, she packs a mean slap.

I phoned my father today to wish him a happy Father's Day, though unfortunately, he was too busy to make it to the phone. My mother assured me she'd pass on my regards, however.

I hope all the Fathers on this network had a splendid day, and that those of you with positive relations with your fathers were able to spend some time either with them or speaking with them.

[Amycus and Regulus]

I wish you both a happy Father's Day, and I hope the girls were able to celebrate with you without causing too much mayhem.

More dreams. But I still don't know who killed Lilly, and I don't know if I will figure it out. But I hope I do, because Lilly deserves justice. Also the teenage dream me is a sassmaster and pretty damn good at karaoke.

There's something very freeing about not having to go to Japan for the summer. Father is trying to push but the court ruling was very specific - I only have to go to him during the summer until I'm 18. If I choose to visit after that it's my choice. And I'm choosing not to go.

Man. I had a dream about Johnny Rockets burgers and chili cheese fries and now that’s what I want. So guess that’s what Iunch is. Burgers and chili cheese fries.

Serena? You in?

Well, I can see what Ash likes about living here, it's so pretty.

Hey everyone, I'm Alex. Some of you may know me from my YouTube videos or because of who my dad is

I'll never understand people that want to take out all their frustrations at life on people working their minimum wage jobs. Because clearly the price on the box of cereal is not what you're this mad about, even if it's what you're yelling at the poor clerk for. No one in the history of any thing has been this angry about cereal. You're clearly mad about something else and cereal is what you've chosen to blow up about. And it's not even the clerk's fault. Either you misread it or there was a tag error, but the person ringing you out is not the one who makes the prices. Just. All of us want to go home. And learn how to treat others, please.

One of my students got offered a paying job playing piano for a party. I’m torn between being happy for him and jealous because I introduced him to the family that hired him.

Laurel decided today that the best way to convince us to agree to take her and her sister to Disney Land every day of summer vacation was to sit us down and give us a presentation on exactly why it would be a waste of money to not go to Disney every day. I'm kind of impressed that she did her research. We've got seasonal passes, because we do go that often and it just made more sense to get them. She did her research on how much it costs for all of us, how much it would cost to buy it individually, and how much money we'd be saving by going every day.

The answer is still no, Disney is a privilege and not an expectation. And she didn't take food and souvenirs into her math. But she is in elementary school and there were hand drawn graphs. So I'm still impressed.

When I woke up this morning, I instantly called my brother Michael to check on him. He had died in my dreams and I just needed to make sure he was fine. I realize it's an irrational reaction, but something in me needed to hear his voice to know he was alright.

My dreams seemed to move faster this time, I went through my whole childhood, was a code breaker in Bletchley Park, almost got married to a Fred Wells, then Micheal's death prompt me to not getting married and join British counter-intelligence.

I woke up when I was called in a office.

Finally! There is a club at my school that actually makes sense to be at a high school - there’s a newspaper club but they aren’t doing very well so they come to us for help! Wanting to highlight our club in their paper to drive up their sales since our sales are wonderful and we always have so many people coming to our events. Of course that was after I accidentally hit the president of their club with a soccer girl that the twins kicked towards me. With my athleticism at question we decide to have a games day outside the next day and play some children’s games and have fun. I show Haruhi where my hiding spot is at one of the gazebos and the two of us spend the rest of the afternoon talking about our childhoods.
