Glitch Dreams

I'm posting this here because I want to share this with someone, but I don't think anyone else would understand it.

Whenever I play a new game, I usually have a dream or two about it, maybe my brain is wiring how to play, idk but it happens with every new game.

So, in this dream--which at the time, I believed was real life--there were people like monsters (or monsters like people?) who lived in the world, and we were all really short, and people had egg plants as pets, except the eggplants were like dogs in that they would growl like a dog does and bark and generally be like a watch dog. But they were a bit smarter than dogs, more or less sentient. And some monster-person had this really cute eggplant that he carried around behind him in a cart (the eggplant was potted). And it growled and was really cute. Then he got hungry.

And he sort of cried, and said loudly and clearly, with a sob, "Gop!" Because gop was the food that they eat. And it just broke my heart, this dream eggplant, because it was so adorable. And we fed it. The end.

  • That's pretty cool. I rarely remember my dreams anymore so I don't know if I have been having them. I like the concept though. Neat!

  • Crucial, I have had numerous Glitch-y dreams, but like Fokian Fool, I forget them pretty quickly upon waking up. But I KNOW I've had them, and I actually had one last night in which I was walking (I myself, as a human) through this super spooky underwater type area with lots of eerie decorations and items surrounding me, and as I walked past them they lit up blue so I could interact with them. I passed some actually existing items like Plain Bubbles, and more that were just the invention of my brain. It was bizarre and awesome. I think there might have been some sort of action as well - I think I met a friend from college but that might already have evolved into a non-Glitchy dream and I'm confusing the two.

    Basically, yeah I dream about Ur a lot. I don't think its all that surprising - its a game of Giant Imagination, and its obviously affected my brain quite significantly :)

  • That is an awesome dream.  I want pet eggplants!  But I'm getting this Little Shop of Horrors visual all of a sudden.  Most definitely has to be "gop!" and not "FEED ME!", right?

    Actually, the dream thing happens to me a lot, too.  I'll pick up a game, become really enthused about it, and it works its way into my head like a fever.   And for a while, my dreams will, if not be entirely about, then at least include several key elements of said game.

    (What was really weird was when I was seriously into a couple of MUDs.  MUDs are what MMOs were before we had fancy graphics.  I'd have these dreams that I swear were partially text-based -- I'd dream "look", "north", "sip health" at this vague wall of bold, cyan characters.)
