So if I wanted to get access to a better chem lab than my college one, who would I need to speak to??

I keep hoping that common sense will prevail but then someone uses Gorilla Glue in their hair and is then surprised at how big of a mistake it was.

I do not have the same hair care needs, however, I would imagine that nobody is keeping Gorilla Glue near their hair products. If you do, you should consider moving it.

I am so ready for a break from classes already 😩

I did get a completed Lego Death Star arrive from my dreams, though. Is it weird to miss a friendship you’ve discovered in the dreams but never had in real life?

My baby book showed up out of nowhere! I can't remember the last time I saw this old thing. Is it terribly selfish to wish for Peter's to show? I know I had it around somewhere...I want to play embarrassing aunt and post some pictures of him.

Really happy that the Addams Family films are on Netflix. I know what I'm doing this evening :D

I'm really glad classes have started up again, honestly, because it means I can stop trying to do chemistry in my bedroom and go back to doing it where it's not likely to explode and destroy my aunt and uncle's apartment.

Turns out reverse engineering this cannister of web fluid I got from my dreams was easier than I thought. I'm really glad I don't make this stuff myself. Could you imagine? O_o

[Aunt Peggy & Uncle Steve]

So, like, you know how I've got superpowers from these dreams? And Uncle Steve is in them too but like, in the now as a hero as part of the Avengers? Like, I'm sort of being a hero too. I have my own youtube channel, which might be kind of dumb but no one's caught me yet.

Thing is even as a hero here I couldn't save him again. He died again in my dreams. Promise me you guys are sticking around for real?

Anyone know roughly how much a bus weighs?

Asking for a friend.

Nothing like dreaming about an alien invasion destroying New York.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get shawarma?

( Personal Entry )

I really love when strangers snark at me to learn English when I switch to my native tongue for any reason.

Sure, random person in the grocery store, for your comfort I will hold this private conversation with a Romanian in English so that you can understand, but she can't. Maybe learn to mind your business instead.

Apparently I should start having all my private phone calls on facetime so that other people can complain they don't understand us.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Steve!

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.

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?

Who do I contact if I woke up with a dragon in my room? She practically pounced on me when I woke up.

Edit/Update: Got her to sit still long enough to take a photo: Blazey

So, I dreamed about getting bitten by a spider which feels like it should be totally unremarkable but considering I broke my alarm clock this morning feels like maybe it's not?

[Peggy & Steve]
I maybe also crushed the handle on the bathroom door. I'm really sorry, I don't know what happened. I haven't touched anything else with my hands and have done everything with my elbows as much as possible.

One of my patients was going on about games today.

I have no idea what any of them in.


I invested in the Switch? I think that's what it's called.


I'm open for suggestions of games.


[Peter]

Help me set it up?

Maybe it's cause I'm so close to graduating that my dreams are getting weird but I've noticed others talking about them.

So, here goes:
I woke up on my 16th birthday. I'm a blue skinned/blue haired elf, as well as my family, and my mom's dating a centaur police officer. We have a pet dragon that acts like a dog, except that it's capable of blowing fire. His name is Blazey; and dad's college sweater finally fits me...but dad's not around kinda like in my real life. Also, Barley, my brother has been protesting the demolition of a fountain so mom's boyfriend isn't pleased about that. Oh, and Barley accidentally almost unthreaded a sleeve from dad's sweater.

I've been thinking about this dream, all day. Seemed so real but like I said...could be nerves about the end of high school.

Since senior year is almost at an end, I've been encouraged to try and find ways to network.

Oh yeah, I'm Ian, btw.

Ugh! This is terrible!

Okay so I had the best day ever yesterday! My lunch did get stolen by an Ewok but, like, I really don't care. Whoever organised this whole thing is like the best.

I mean the shooting and stuff was kinda scary, ngl. Felt pretty dangerous.

All right, everyone. It's time to get excited. Professor Senku here.

Do you like to know how things work? Curious about the world around you? Or just want to try blowing things up?

Then the Science Club is the place for you. Yeah, that's right! I'm ten billion percent sure that you'll have fun. Interested? Got hate mail? Wanna through some shade at me? Bring it.

To the Science Club!

Friday night. At Berkeley student union. You in?

So, the easter bunny came?

Uncle Steve, Aunt Peggy- i'm guessing that wasn't you. I'm a little old for easter eggs. Still. Thanks. Whoever it was.

Also, uh, how do you know if a dream you had is just a dream or if it's one of those Dreams?

I'm taking some notes about these dreams that everyone keeps having. What stages are there? I'm gathering that many people seem to have a different opinion on them or are experiencing them at different rates.

For example, I've only had one dream so far, but maybe some other people have them more often. I wonder if you can have a way to make the dreams come, you know?

Last time, I got male-fied.

I'm kind of disappointed I didn't end up a kid. Might have been fun since the twins are in town. They've been traveling between finishing high school and going off to university.

I remember when they were 11 y/o dorks coming into my life with their big sister. Part of the package deal when we got together. Now they're grown up and I'm not even thirty yet, but I hope she'd be proud of them.

As for why I'm up this late, Dreams getting interesting.

Went to investigate someone who claimed we killed or kidnapped her husband. After I, uh, destroyed some illegal ivory we ended up fighting wanna be Lady Deathstrikes.

Most of you have no idea what that means but imagine a really badass supervillain with adamantium claws on each fingertip and then imagine a cheap knockoff.

Emma

We're still getting along and it's disconcerting but nice. Like. You joked about what would have happened when I wondered about if I'd gone with you instead of Xavier.

And now I know you give the best hugs and cheek kisses and I don't know what to do with this information.

It feels like Forbidden Knowledge.

My dreams are amazing! After we escaped the First Order we discovered the ship we stole originally belonged to this super famous smuggler! I read all about him on some of the databases I scavenged! He did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs!

Then there was a situation with some people he owed money to and there were these scary rolling alien monsters and then we escaped by jumping to light speed from the shuttle bay and it was exciting!

Really glad my classes have switched to online-only. I kinda miss the whole... interactive bit though.

I know no one's meant to be meeting up in groups or whatever, but there's definitely a way of using technology to hang out. Anyone want to make a virtual study group?

[Steve & Peggy]

You guys gotta tell me what I can do to help, okay? Like, at your work or wherever?

Okay legit the best thing I have seen on the internet today.

I mean you gotta give her credit for her ingenuity and creativity but they still look like what she's trying to get away from.

For real.

Things I should be doing:

studying
homework
practicing
probably taking care of the weird hangnail on my toe
sleeping

Things I am actually doing:

discovering archive.org has video games


Does Oregon Trail count as studying?

Normally, I'd think learning a language from dreams would be pretty cool. It's a new language and you learn it just from dreams, and that's pretty cool.

You know what's less cool? A language no one else will speak.

Ruf ec drec rambvim?

I doubt I could put 'speaks fluent Al Bhed' on any resume ever.

[Rapunzel]
There's a super cute Korean restaurant opening up not far from my place, do you fancy giving it a try?

So this is Orange County, huh? Tell me what's good. The crazier the better. I'm not even joking, I want to know all the weird random shit that they don't tell you in the tourism guides.

I have a real short attention span so bear that in mind.

So moving across the country seemed like such a good idea at the time but I've got lost on campus twice and I have three classes to make up reading in because even though the class is similar they've covered different things.

My brain's fried.

Also, hi. I'm Peter Parker, nice to meet you all :)

Tomorrow me and Dragon are giving out candy so I went and got costumes for us. He's less than impressed with it, but come tomorrow night when he's getting a ton of attention from all the kids, he's gonna be fine.

Looks like I'm losing my mind along with the rest of you. I even woke up with a cold gun after dreaming about it.

I hope everyone's days are going alright, but if they're not, maybe this baby polka dot zebra will help brighten your day. My ex-wife used to I used to be told that mixing polka dots with stripes was absolutely taboo, but I think it looks just fine to me.

It's 2019, who is out there still making prank phone calls? As though every cell phone doesn't have caller ID on it. I can see who you are.

Also they sounded like they were eleven, who is giving eleven year olds cell phones?

Okay.

I'm either having a stroke or ...no, I have to be having a stroke.

All day, out of the corner of my eye, I've been seeing a ..dinosaur? A little one?

And I'm sober today, not even hung over

I might actually break my rule and have a cup of coffee. I'm clearly dreaming.

Back in August of 2017, astronomers detected two neutron stars colliding, which created gold and platinum and sent those materials flying into space. It's the first time this sort of collision has been recorded, and it's absolutely fascinating. And not a place you'd want to be anywhere near when the collision is happening.

Who got their story printed front page above the fold? That's right, I did.

There is definitely something to that which you can't get with online only news publications.

I swear, it's like a completely different language is being spoken out here. How can there be so many linguistic changes from one coast line city to the next? I just moved from San Fran, not from Lebanon. I should be able to make people out.

I really hope it's the pot doing this to their brains.

Has anyone else had a dream that felt really real? I mean, I guess we all have had those dreams where you wake up and you're not sure if the dream was real life or not, but I mean a dream that's really real?

On a related note, I'm really, really not sure if my dreams know how science works. I'm actually a little disappointed in my subconscious right now.

It looks like dream!me has decided to pick up where Renegade left off. Here's hoping I don't end up with my head chopped off too.

I guess I should probably at least make the attempt to get to know new people, so here I am, on some web forum I've never heard of in my life even if the internet tells me it's the best place to connect with locals.

I'm Peter Parker, coming all the way from New York. I'm a photographer and I... don't really know what else to say. So I guess I'll just leave you with a random fact:

Did you know that beavers, those furry Canadian mascots, mate for life? Can you imagine? Meeting someone, building a dam together, and then just growing old enjoying one another's company until you die together at the ripe old age of 15? It's beautiful, isn't it?

Well that's the last time I try and get out of the house on a whim.

Lesson learned.

I don't want to dream anymore.

Attack of the Dreams have happened again.

Blossom and I were fighting about...well. Everything. We even used our laser powers against each other, which makes all of our past real fights look completely sane. Then Bubbles stuffed octopus became gigantic and started destroying the city and took Bubbles as a hostage. We stopped fighting, saved our sister and Octi was defeated.

I'm starting to wonder why people live in Townsville.

Working out lately has been kind of a breeze...no real downside to that. I've been getting some amazing shots of the city that I might post up for the hell of it.

I think...I dunno, maybe I should talk to someone about this. I found a set of two steel based components on my nightstand a few nights ago. Ignored them really, then once I took them apart and realized that they were two trigger mechanisms I managed to find the pieces I needed around town and in scraps and fixed the Spinneret mechanism witch had a teflon turbine that this shear-thinning liquid came from and it reminded me a lot of the webbing that I have naturally...was this. Was this what I used as a kid?

It's so confusing but I got them working, I just don't know what to do with them, it's not like I need them. This isn't any technology I'm used to seeing, this is like some shit out of Stark Industries or something. I dunno, it's crazy.

Anyway, I need to get the hell out of my apartment and do something. This network is probably my best chance, who wants to go grab some french fries, or coffee, or whatever?

I still don't understand so much about why things from my dreams are carrying over into my life. It was already complicated, I really didn't need all the things that come along with this new...part of it I guess.

Superhero's aren't real. I still don't believe in them and I don't care who wants to prove me wrong. I've dreamed about blind guys fighting masses of people, teams and groups of mutants or Gods from other planets taking on the weirdest things I could imagine. I was friends, am friends with a lizard. My mentor is the cockiest but also one of the smartest sons of bitches I've ever met...and has his own Tower to prove it. Doesn't mean any of it should mean something to me.

I've learned I can do things. Weird things. Amazing things. I still have bills to pay. I still have myself to worry about. I'm not cut out for whatever else these dreams think I should be doing.

So... Apparently someone I know is this Spider-Man dude. And he dies in my dreams, so I take over the role... What kind of nonsense is that? I'm no super-hero

Daredevil?

So....somebody called the cops, I think? I..yeah, someone called the cops. I was sleep walking I guess? I'm not really sure how it happened but I'm stuck.

Stuck as in I literally can't move from where I am. Pretty sure I've been here since last night, and I had to send this with the help of Siri because I'm pretty sure if I try to move I'm going to fall from the side of my building...

I can't even explain how I'm still holding on, there's nothing to hold on to. But uhh...yeah if someone could make the cops just go away. That'd be great? Kate? Vanessa? I...ugh. Gwen Somebody? Do people maybe know how well superglue works? That's the only thing I can think of.

So I get it, these things aren't going to go anywhere. There's a costume now, it's kinda patriotic but then not in a way as well. Blue and red, and a mask? Like I have to hide who I am, or what I'm doing. I'm actually doing things now, I'm....helping people. Friendly neighborhood spider-man.

I had a conversation a few days about something like this, about it not just being dreams. I still don't believe that any of this could be possible. Yeah, I'm good at photography, so happens to be my high school self in the dreams. Ok so I have amazing balance, and am quick. I ran track though, and I dunno, but it doesn't mean anything.

Things just keep getting more and more strange, and I really want that cheesecake.
