In many ways, the computer dreams are a microcosm of the larger dream world. Positron got e-mail from a dead friend. Cary-2 was chased through the school by a computer with arms and legs, and a death dealing floppy disk. David-2's computer tasks are getting in the way of his finishing a term paper, and he shows up to class embarrassed and empty handed.

In these and some other examples the distribution of themes seem to reflect the general distribution of dream themes.

Yet other groups seem to show an unusual distribution or frequency of uncommon themes. I was surprised by the number of Alice through the Looking Glass themes.

Bill-Ben was enjoying lunch and surfing when he got pulled right into a virtual reality where his sandwich and everything else was pink, a color he detested. Eventually the computer blew up. Jack-2 was typing when he fell into his computer. Frank-2 was pulled into his computer monitor and converted into tiny electrons racing through the circuitry of the computer, then blasted out into the entire network. Intuitively taking the right paths, he eventually zooms into space and sees indescribable astronomical sites. Andrew was watching porn online in the basement and ended up having sex with her on the pool table, but something went wrong with the connection over the Internet. Sary was pulled into her computer and pounded on the other side of the glass monitor while her friends searched through the files on the computer to find her. Mary-2's computer would fly around the world when she pressed the enter key. It was not like flying in the air, but more like in space with no surroundings.

There will be many others like this in the collection. It is almost as if the desire for communication is actually a desire for a deeper connection which then manifests in the dream.

Other computer dreams seem to give a new twist to old problems.

Beth-2 stared out having a Garfield Telephone Problem dream where she couldn't hear her grandmother on the phone. Later she can't read what the grandmother writes on the computer screen either, due to the "color" of the type font.

Nothing works in Moe's world, nothing opens unless you have a computer you can hook up.

In Erik-2's dream, an alternative history Japan connects children to cybernetic snoops that scan and check their DNA, putting the good ones in a line marked "Life" the others in one marked "Death."

Carissa-2 can't read the code on a computer monitor which looks like Japanese. This top secret information will help her save a girl who is wrongly prosecuted.

Precognitive and problem solving dreams seem to be slightly higher than expected.
Fred-2 got an instant message from a friend of his dad's back in high school, and the next day his father was contacted by an old friend. Dreadlock9 plans new video games in his dreams, like the one where a spaceship can shoot bi-directionally. Henry-2 found that bug in his program during a dream that he had been working on for weeks, and it turned out that this was the bug in waking life.

I hope by reading though these dreams you too will get a look at the new emerging images in dreams.

In one (I think it was what whould happen in Japan if Hilter was never born) I saw a bunch of Asian children. They all had what appeared to be cypernetic implants in them. I saw several large computers to which young children (between 0 and 2 years of age) were being connected to through their implants. The computer appeared to be scanning their DNA. Then, each child was put onto one of two lines. One was marked life, and the other was marked death.

-----------------------------------------------------

Dream date = Jan 9th 2001

Dreamers Computer Dream = Once i had a dream that I had broken into an apartment in order to get some top secrete info I needed to save a girl from being wrongly prosecuted. Inside the apartment their were 2-3 of what I thought to be TV's. They were actually computer monitors with info on the screens. I couldn't read it because it was in code. The code was similar to that of Japanese type. I figured it was some sort of programming language. The screens were black with yellow characters. I was puzzled as to what it might be.

-----------------------------------------------------
Dream Title = dads best friend
Dream date = 12/2/00
Dreamers name = Fred-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = First off i would like to say the weirdest part of my dream was the fact that it came true the next day. that's how i found this sight i wanted to know more about déjà vu course i've been having it a lot. My dream starts out i was just surfing the web as usual talking to friends i was really happy for some reason and i found myself home alone. All the sudden some one i dont know ims me. He talks to me for a while telling me he knew my dad in high school and how they were best friends. I asked how he got my s/n and he told me he had gone to the aol yellow pages and looked it up because he knew were we lived. After all him and my dad were best friends. Anyways the went on about b/s (were u from, how old r u/ kids) so finally he signs off and get off and go to sleep. the next day (not dreaming now) i do get im'd by the same guy and i could tell what he was going to say before he would even say it... Scared the shit out of me. Later that day him and my dad made plans and he game down and stayed with us and when i met him it was as if i already new him. But ya anyways that's about it.
-----------------------------------------------------

Dream Title = the screening room
Dream date = 01/20/01
Dreamers name = Evelyn-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = i was first wondering through a hall with white paint and black curtains then at the end of the hall was a small dark room. the only supplie of light was coming from the screen of a computer. all of the sudden a message scrolled acrossed the screen and it said "I see you every other week, when i see you i feel joy. I lie but just enough to keep my love for you a secret frpm you and everyone else". then i woke up

what does this mean? could this mean that my crush likes me?
-----------------------------------------------------

Dream Title = email from a suitor
Dream date = January 2001 (mid month sometime--night time)
Dreamers name = Florra-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = I logged onto my computer. I downloaded an email. I don't recall an image of seeing the monitor or reading the email, but the premise of the dream was that a man (with whom I sometimes spend time in real life) wrote to tell me that he was afraid that he was "going to lose me", if he didn't hurry and find a way to put down roots in my town".
In my dream, it was morning (like a Saturday--no work), and I immediately called my best friend to "read" the email to her.

There isn't anything really baffling about this dream to me, as he has often discussed with me, his desire to move to my town and settle here (he is currently in the military, and moves around). What I found odd was that it was the first time I ever incorporated "email" or my computer in a dream. In my dream, I felt a little flattered, and hopeful, that I might have finally captured someone's heart.
-----------------------------------------------------

Dream Title = Electronic Flow
Dream date = About a month ago.
Dreamers name = Frank-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = i remember being sucked through my computer monitor and being converted into tiny electrons, racing through circuit boards and resistors and capacitors and diodes and transistors. Then blasted out into an entire network, not knowing which path to take but somehow choosing the right source, where from then I am zoomed up into space. I'm assuming a satellite, from there I can seem nebulas and quazars and millions of different stars and planets, the colors are undescribable, something which is only seen through an Acid Trip.

Dream Title = The Super-Continent
Dream date = 1994
Dreamers name = Helen-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = In my dream I was standing in a room which was large and dark grey, with a giant computer screen on the wall. I can't remember much else about the room except for this giant screen. I was completely alone in this room and suddenly the computer screen switched. It began to speak it's words were displayed in green bold writing on the screen. It said that, "The super-continent is wrong". I became filled with a sense of fear as the computer spoke these words and then I woke up.

-----------------------------------

Dream Title = Solitare
Dream date = Last night (01/21/01)
Dreamers name = Isadora-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = Lately, I find the more time I spend at the computer, especially playing games, the more the cycle of computing enters into my dream life. For example; playing "spider solitare" puts me in an emotional state of searching for similar groups of things in my dreams, and the need to catagorize them. More than symbolic of the computer system, I'm using the computer's sense of organization as a defining factor in my dreamlife. This level of needing to categorize actually is tormenting, and denies rest.

-----------------------------------------------------
Dream Title = mario brothers
Dream date = i have it all the time
Dreamers name = Jessica-2

We had to take a plane to Jerusalem and we had computers to open the doors to the plane. When we got their we had to get some guns from under the ground that was hidden and the man had to open the ground by hooking up his computer to a socket that was connected to the ground. It was like nothing did not work unless you had a computer.

----------------------------------------------------

Dreamers name = Katheryn-2

Dreamers Computer Dream = I was flustered because I was working on my computer when these desktop icons kept coming up on my desktop--they were being added by one of my buddies. No matter how many times I tried to delete them they kept coming back up.

----------------------------------------------------

Dream Title = spaceship game
Dream date = 1/21/01
Dreamers name = dreadlock9 (male)

Dreamers Computer Dream = The first computer dream I remember having was having some weird form of Macintosh... but I don't remember the details, since that was long before I ever wrote about my dreams. I have been a computer programmer since I was 10... so it would be nice to have computer dreams more often... but I hardly ever do.

Lately I have been trying to think of concepts for computer games, so last night I had a dream about my brother and I playing a game where we were flying spaceships across a playing field that generally expanded from the left to right... and the guns were bi-directional. Maybe there was supposed to be some other goal other than to blow each other up.

I have been seeing a lot of thinks from my waking life appear in my dreams, like ideas for games, and some guitar stuff (I play guitar in a band)... It encourages me to write about this stuff more... I will explore the rest of this site later... sounds cool. I need a place to explore my dreams.
-----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------

Dream Title = Convenience Store PC
Dream date = 12 January 2001
Dreamers name = Gracie

Dreamers Computer Dream = I am in a store which most closely resembles a small grocery store or a convenience store. It has moderately bright fluorescent lighting. Next to a shelf containing potato chips or some other kind of junk food is a public PC. I am on the PC, checking my Yahoo! e-mail. I have a new message from my friend Paul (name changed to protect the innocent!). He is at another state but I'm not sure which. He is writing about a tape of songs that I had mailed to him a few days ago. His e-mail sounds very excited, like he thinks the tape is so great. It is a brief e-mail, about 2-3 sentences long and with multiple exclamation marks. All he has to say about the tape was that the part of it with the pope(?not sure) talking was amazing. He doesn't comment on the other stuff I recorded on it. I am not sure what he is talking about, because I don't recall if I had put anyone's spoken word on the tape. I think "that's it?" and wonder why he doesn't say anything about those songs I thought he would really like. Then Ethan with 1 or 2 male friends pull into the store's parking lot, in a convertible. It seems they have driven a long way. They enter the store and he gets on the PC. I am now sitting beside him, to his left, and his friends are sitting to his right. He checks his e-mail (which looks to be also Yahoo! mail). I look inside my backpack and partially take out my red-orange pouch bag (I don't completely take it out of the bag, just pull it enough so I can open it). It is a sort of Japanese gift-bag that opens and closes by red drawstrings. Inside it are CDs of one of my favourite bands. I don't want Paul to know that I really like this band, so I close the pouch and shove it in my pack before he sees the CDs. I leave while he is still on the computer. I go out into the parking lot and get on my silver bicycle. It is like a small, low child's bicycle. It is 3-wheeled. I don't particularly like it because it is not comfortable. However it is my only means of transport. I ride the bicycle on the freeway, staying on the far right lane. I am riding very fast, as fast as the other vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) on the freeway. I see someone ahead of me who is riding an identical bike. I realize that I had forgotten my bag at the store. I go back to the store and Paul and his friends had left. No one is using the computer. The store owner or manager is standing nearby. He is a middle-aged male with dark hair. (He looks like a man I saw in a dream I had last year..could be the same one) I search the floor around the computer for my backpack. I realize that the owner is holding it and he gives it to me. He also hands me a piece of paper, saying that Paul had left his phone# in case I wanted to call him. I take the piece of paper but don't really think I will need the number anytime soon. The man says something like it might be a nice idea to give Paul a call because we seem to be attracted to each other. This isn't true because Paul is gay and I am not attracted to him. I didn't feel the need to explain this to the man, so I just thanked him for keeping my backpack and giving me the note. Then I left, got on my bike, and got on the freeway again.
-----------------------------------------------------

Dream Title = Hacker Domination
Dream date = 1/10/01
Dreamers name = Lord Delay

Dreamers Computer Dream = I had a dream recently that an online "friend" if you will, of mine was here. I live right next door to a factory. He moved in next door, in that factory. Inside his "room", there was a vast network of computers. We are hackers. The fate of something undetermined is almost fully in our hands. It seems we share our quest with another person who is unknown in my dream. We wrote programs in delphi (in my dream it looked like binary, but i interpreted it as delphi 5). It was always dusk outside, and indoors always looked exactly like Timothy Leary's Drug Room (leary.com). My emotions all through the dream are the exact emotions i remember feeling as a young boy. It is odd, and i cant really elaborate on that. I almost felt afraid of something, but there was nothing to fear. I remember being told, "Its not all about computers up here". I dont remember who said it. i wish i could remember more of this dream, it was still with me for a couple days afterwards.!

Everything is a bit dark and eerie around the house. Every thing about the house is different somehow but I don't notice in the dream. The game is very complex. I some how end up in this weird area where the 4 worlds meet in the game. I think of labyrinths. I am outside a huge dark shaft that goes under the ground. The shaft is made from concrete but is quite old, say at least 30 years.

Dream date = Late Summer Early Fall 2000

Dreamers Computer Dream = A few months ago a computer dream instance (both lucid and also a false awakening). I went to bed to take a 4 hour nap before work (I work overnights) and so I got off the internet (left my computer ON) and laid down, next thing I knew, I woke up and looked at my clock and said it was a little after 12:30am, well problem is I have to be at work by midnight, and I am 30 minutes from work, so I was really really late. I got out of bed and walked over to my computer to turn it off, but it was already off...I thought "well I guess someone turned it off for me" and I went toward the bathroom to freshen up and then I thought..."wait a second, no one turned off my computer, this is just a dream!" and then I got kind of frustrated that I was not late for work and also excited that I was lucid in a dream. I then woke up just a couple of minutes before my alarm was to go off.

Dreamers Computer Dream = Back in the rah-rah days of the startup I worked at, I frequently had dreams where I would be going about in some normal way; when all of a sudden, windows would pop up: IM windows, application windows, notepad would pop up with html written on it, etc. It was crazy! Invariably at the end of these dreams, my teeth would fall out. This happened quite a few times...and didn't leave me with an altogether great feeling.

Other, better, computer dreams mainly consisted of me actually being inside a computer network, but on the client side. So I could literally push pixels around a screen, and I could physically go to websites and do things and such. These were better because I felt more free and more creative throughout the dream.

I've also had dreams where I saw html or pictures and such...or thought of solutions to various problems I was encountering while building and maintaining a site.

Dreamers Computer Dream = In my dream, my computer basically started making insane booping noises while I lay in bed trying to sleep (in the dream), which scared me for some reason, and then it escalated until the computer was jumping up and down and screaming Satanic references at me, asking me to "Submit" to it. It was a very scary realistic dream, and I felt like I was awake, because it all took place right in my room. Then there was fire outside my door apparently caused by the evil computer, and my parents running away from it, and the computer continued to jump up and down making strange noises, so I threw a rock at it (non-descript, I don't think I could see it, I just felt for it). For some reason, throwing the rock was a gesture of submission to it, and so I was defeated by that action somehow. Then I woke up. I keep my rock collection beside me bed, and in the morning, I discovered the rock I had "thrown at the evil computer" laying beside my computer, so I gues!
s I must have been doing things in my sleep. Oh, and colours were mostly black and grey, because it was dark in my room, except the fire was brilliant red and orange, and I think the computer had a reddish glow surrounding it, but this is an old dream, so I may be wrong.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I was sitting at a desk not normally used for a computer in my house and wondered about the strange shape, A year later Apple came out with the iMac series but it still was not right as the machine I saw was white. In October of this year my wife bought the Snow version of the machine and set it up on the desk. There it was...

In the next dream I had we were working on a bunch of computers, trying to get them up and running again. The screen was activated by touch on the bottom of the screen, BY THUMB ONLY, as fingers did nothing. To even see the activating icon, one had to (look through the machine as one does on the prints that have images buried in them and do not look like pictures at all. These machines seemed to be voice activated after the icon was found. There was no keyboard...

There were no new machines being built after the severe geophysical changes we were fighting... only the salvage of what we had left intact.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I think this dream was precipitated because of my work pager; it went off, and I woke up briefly to shut it off, then went back to sleep. When I started dreaming, I was at work. I was inside my cubicle, standing up. I looked all around me, and everything in my cubicle was inside out. The computer monitor was inside out, the keyboard was inside out, the computer was inside out. A terminal server normally sitting on the floor is sitting on my desk, with all the components normally on the inside on the outside.

Then, quite suddenly, there's a square table inside my cubicle, with people sitting all around it. I don't recognize any of the people. And I suddenly realize there's no enterance to the cubicle anymore. Two people walk up; My boss's boss's boss, and a person directly underneath him in the scheme of things. Neither of them say anything, but they stand just outside my cubicle and stare at me.

None of the person sitting at the table say anything at all. They stare at me with absolutely no expressions on their faces. I look down at the ground, then at my body, then back down at the ground again. I get the oddest feeling something isn't right in the world, and a doorway opens up in the cubicle wall, and I walk out into the walkway. Every where I walk, people just stand (or sit) and stare at me.

The feeling I just experienced comes back again, and I mutter to myself, "I'm dreaming, aren't I?" It's the only rational explanation for everything that's going on; so I ask myself, "How can I prove to myself I'm dreaming?"

I tentatively lift up my right foot, and I place it in the air approx. six inches off of the ground, and I do the same for my left foot. I'm suddenly standing on air, and I feel a rushing exhaltation from the discovery of me being asleep and dreaming. I suddenly get a huge grin on my face, and I can't stop laughing. Everyone continues to stare at me. I ignore everyone, and start flying around the building at blinding speeds. The dream turns very sexual for a brief moment when a lovely young lady in a red dress shows up, but then I quite suddenly wake up.

This was my first and only lucid dreaming experience. I very rarely dream of computers at all, which is suprising given I work with them every single day. This is probably the only dream I've ever had (which I remember) about computers.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamed I got a message from my daughter's school, that it was urgent I call there. I dialed the number, couldn't get through; dialed again, no luck. Dialed & dialed, no luck. Suddenly:

WHOOSH! Wow-- where am I? What is this place? Everything is pink and white here, a pink sky with white puffy clouds, a tiny bit of orange too... it's rather sunsettish here. This "sky" is all around me, even below my feet... Oh, and I'm floating effortlessly, suspended in mid- air, weightless hehe! This is wonderful!

And what is this in front of me... icons? Yes... rows and rows of them. Icons of folders and other things... Oh, I get it! I have entered someone's computer program! That's what this is. This pink sunset is someone's "background," and I have simply entered his webpage. Yes, it's a "him," all right; I sense him. I think he's working on the page right now, in fact. But he doesn't know I'm here.

Oh here we go, switching to something else now... poetry? No, maybe not... song lyrics? Yes, it looks like song lyrics. Oh, and there's a picture-- a young woman. Oh, haha! I see, this guy has created a web page in honor of this woman he's in love with. Or rather infatuated with, as he barely knows her. But he has quite the crush. These lyrics-- oh my! And there are some words of her! He has plastered her words everywhere. He can't get enough of reading her words. And these colors he's chosen for this cyberspace "background", the pink & white, little bit of orange... very romantic. I have basically walked into his secret shrine.

Hmm... secret, yes. I'm feeling embarrassed now. I shouldn't be here. This is terribly private, and I am an intruder. I should be leaving.

Oh-- oh my gosh! It's an oversized cartoon character, popping/ floating right up in front of me, haha! I guess this guy must like cartoon characters too. Maybe. Wow, that was soooo realistic! Hard to believe I'm only dreaming. I'm in a simulated environment, but wow, how real it seems. I'm bobbing up and down in this limitless pink cyberspace, no ground below me, moving only by the direction of my will.

Oh, there's something else off in the distance, a mere fragment of an image... Oh, this must be something Computer Guy is working on right now, something in its beginning stages.

Gee, I wonder what's behind me... If I were standing on my own 2 feet, on solid earth, I'd be able to easily turn around and look. But floating as I am in this cyberspace, it's not easy to turn around. I must focus my attention, concentrate... turn around... yes, here we go... turning to the right now... I can bob up and down a little... Ah-- here we are! Nothing? Nothing but pink sky and white clouds. Well I guess this proves I'm not on a stage, otherwise I'd see an audience. Well good, it's nice to be able to move in all directions, even if there isn't anything special to see.

I just can't get over how real this is... an excellent simulation. But if a mere dream can seem this real, what then is my waking reality? Could it be a simulation too, a grand illusion?

* * * * * *

When I woke up from this dream I tried to get on the internet to type it up, but wasn't able to. I dialed and dialed and dialed, many times, no luck. I never have any problem connecting to my AOL, but this time I did. It was down for hours, was told it was probably earthquake (Seattle) related. So this dial-up problem was kinda coincidental, considering this was how my virtual world dream started in the first place!

Dreamers Computer Dream = I (on quite a FEW occassions) have had dreams about talking in a chat room i normally go to. It's usually just me, a friend, and some other people and we are tlaking about something, usually whos a lamer, who deserves to be /kill ed by someone, and who we hate... then somehow my parents showed up in chat and bugged me so i left, and went outside and walked to a bulding, ad once inside i found myself IN the chat sevrer, where i could walk from room to room to room and talk there and set furniture, all my friends were there as themselves and i could hug them and fool around and be myself. Then the prson whom i had a HUGE crush on showed up (net friend, we are bf/gf now), and walked over to me, he said hi.. then my DAD walked in.. "You gotta come back and set the table.." Well, he had to be living in his dreams cause i aint about to walk away from being with the guy i have a crush on, so i told him to go away and he got mad so i ran from room to room to !
room and eventually hit in a room mode +i +s, and +p. My crush showed up (since he was an IRCop) and invited dad in ebcause he kept on bugging everyone and i screamed and ran away, leaving dad there, and John (crush, real name, i love him so..) chased me, nabbed me and cuddled me, as he dragged me to the ultimate hiding spot... the operchannel... where.. strangely, the server admin was tlaking in citrust type of multi-colored text (those pale skittle type colors, light greens, oranges, pinks, yellows). He wrapped his manly, ircoppish arms around me and kissed me...

Turns out he had a crush on me too... now we are a couple, adn wish to meet irl, weve talked on the telephone and all that stuff... he is really sweet... weve left the server that the dream took palce on and now are both ircops on a friends server, which is growing quickly.

Dreamers Computer Dream = It is all written down in a memoir in storage but the 'gist is as follows:
The entire dream occured in reverse as we comprehend time to be.
It fades in at some point in a "day" out in the open bays of a HUGE warehose in which humans and robotic /yet living and evolved Dinosaurs live and work in semi-co-existance. Be it that there was no utopia it was a "real lifescape" with the twists of a typical day just the oddities of etirely in reverse time wise; and a structural accomidation to the Dinos mobility, very large doors, and walls. These dinos were not ALL cyborged out, but rather a blending of reptilian(in a few cases amphibian and psuedomamailian) dino's with mechanical agmentaions... a broken leg was graphted with a bio-mechanical area as appearently the dinos evlution had "stopped" but the mental evolution didn't hence the self awareness, and socialogical elements of a society and the whole nurture "human" qualities....
it was very cool, just dinamicly odd in the whole Time reversal was understandable yet not....

Dreamers Computer Dream = Shortly after having learned HTML, as I was beginning to get seriously into Web development, I frequently found myself, in my dreams, unable to determine whether the situation that was occurring in the dream was "real life" or was a Web page I was working on. This didn't especially cause me any distress. In the dreams I thought of all kinds of inventive HTML tricks that I could use to tweak the scenery, people, even events in the dream. They weren't always "improvements" - sometimes they were purely experimental, just to see what would happen if I tried this or that.

Sometimes I would also find myself, between waking and sleeping, not wondering "am I awake or asleep" but "is this my bedroom or is it HTML?" :)

My take on all this is that perhaps dreams symbolize life in much the same way that HTML symbolizes the resulting compiled Web page. In a way, it almost seems like "knowing it's only a Web page and tweaking the HTML" was akin to lucid dreaming.

Now that Web design is old hat to me (I make my living doing this now) I don't have these kinds of dreams as often - but occasionally I still do!

Dreamers Computer Dream = First I would like to say that the link that brought me here asked for dreams that included dreams with robots in them, so if this one helps, here it is. If not, sorry.

My best girlfriend and I were out of town. I was traveling with her through a few different cities for about a week while she attended some classes. The first few days of the trip went well. We ended up staying in a little bit of a seedy motel one night. When we woke up I packed up a lot of our stuff, we had a bunch of soda in the 12 pack and case boxes they come in, and some beer. I lined it all up against a wall of the motel room with our suitcases. We packed stuff into the car which I had moved into a spot real close to our room. There was some toilet paper on the driver's side rearview mirror outside with a dried up moldy orange, pieces of one with the rind, attached at one end. We joked about the car being teepeed and my friend took the orange and for some totally unknown reason she actually took a small bite of an edge of the orange. Back in the room, we realized that the door would not lock, it did not even latch fully when it closed. I thought about how lucky!
we were to have slept without being burglarized or killed in our sleep. I tried to engage the deadbolt lock but the doorjamb and the door kept moving, almost like they weren't really attached to the wall that well. Then this robot thing, which came with the room, came over and helped me get the deadbolt engaged. That at least kept the door from being totally insecure. I thanked the robot and was happy that it came in handy for something. It went back and sat down on the floor. She got ready and left for her class, leaving me alone in the room. I looked at the clock and realized it was about 11:30 and check out was 12:00. So I called the manager and asked him if I could stay until about 2, and explained that I was waiting for a friend who would not be back until then or later. He said okay. I told him if the robot needed recharging or something he could have it because I didn't need it. I think it either went to the office itself, because its batteries were dead or the manager came and got it. I started to take off my clothes to bathe and took off my pants when the door suddenly opened and I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my naked lower body. The guy who came into the room was apparently the cleaning person (maid), he had the cart and all. He was quite unkempt and didn't appear to be very clean. I explained to him that he would have to wait, since I got approval to check out late. I had trouble explaining to him, because he was Hispanic I think, but he finally left. I laid the towel down and started to prepare for my shower again when the door was opened again. This time I didn't have time to grab the towel and I yelled, "I'm naked, close the door" or "Get out" or something along those lines. This time the cleaning guy "just wanted to do something real fast" I don't know what. I was trying to cover my naked lower body with my hands and by sort of bending over and backing away from him. I made him leave, but not without difficulty. So then I tried again to bathe when the door op!
ened again and this time it was a handyman, also Hispanic, who was there to fix the door. Before I had a chance to say anything to him, he had the door off of the hinges and struck up a broken English conversation with me. He appeared to be slow (mentally), but was pleasant enough. I still was holding the towel around me as we spoke. Something came on TV about a missing woman, who was presumed dead and they gave a short story about serial killers and their profiles, giving a profile on someone who may have killed the woman, who had the last name of Alvarez, or something close to that. He asked me what they were talking about, and I explained how psychologists were able to "profile" killers and gave him examples of profiles. He was lounging on the floor near the front door, which was now completely gone as was part of the front wall. The cleaning guy then came in and they both left. I was relieved because now I could take a shower, but then they came back with a third guy who I had not seen before, and were saying amongst themselves how the manager of the motel told them he used to date the missing woman and they were all surprised. I, still wrapped waist down in a towel, walked toward the doorway as they entered and they pushed me back in and were obviously planning to rape me. I cried and begged them not to, but the three of them would not let me go. They got me down on a couch and I continued to speak to them trying to talk them out of it, when I realized they would probably kill me because I could identify them. I was now naked and somehow I got away from them and ran out the door (which had reappeared) and ran up the parking lot screaming, naked. It seemed I could not scream or yell loud enough. No one was around. I ran past the manager's office and saw the door just closing with no one coming out to see what was wrong. I was desperately looking for someone even going by in a car, no one. There was a grocery store next door and I was going to try to get there to escape, I turned around!
and saw one of them right on my heels and I knew there was no way I could escape. I woke up. When I dozed back off I decided that I was saved by a woman in her car in the grocery store lot.

Addendum:

The manager, the cleaning guy, the handyman and the missing woman were all of Hispanic origin, I can't figure that one out. Actually I can't figure out much of this dream.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamed that I was in the library
at Drexel University in Philadelphia. There was a computer terminal in there with the name "CompUMate" on it. The screen was black with green letters. This was a semilucid dream so I was interested in playing with the machine and seeing how it would work. I noticed that any words I typed remained on the screen only as long as I looked at them steadily; if I looked away then back they would have disappeared. Pressing various keys would call up screens full of characters, which looked convincing in overview, but if I tried to read them the words would either be real words that made no sense taken together, or else nonsense words that looked like English but were quite meaningless.

While the bigger animals including ravens worked savagly at destroying my C drive on my computer. The larger animals worked like crazy to fix my computer. The smaller animals talked happily to one another. I felt comforted when my computer screen blacked out because them little guys were either working or sleeping on the job.

I saw it in my living room, the kitchen, my bedroom, an even in my dream-garden(it was quite different from my regular garden, a lot of pigs and oversized flowers with oversized insects). the coputer did not really do anything, it just stood there, watching me. in the end of the dream i urinated on it and woke up.

Dreamers Computer Dream = A bearded man, who is staying at my
house, wants information on global positioning systems in Mexico. I tell him I did a search for John (a friend's husband) on this once; I'll ask him. He may remember the information I have forgotten, because it was important to him. Or, if he can get me a little more information on what he wants, to narrow down the search possibilities, I will do a new search for him.

I'm sitting at the computer. I am trying to screen capture a pink panther for something. I'm obsessing over it, spending lots of time. Then I look up GPS and go to the page. It's telling us what to do.

Ick!!! It's tells how to build a GPS model and the description is long, filled with icky stuff, and it's gruesome like a horror gore flick. I show it to him. He thinks he'll do it. Then no, he says he's no good on the computer; I have to do it. I tell him, "If I barf, it's your fault!"

I start making it and John helps. He's like a surgeon's assistant, holding the tools as I tell him which ones I need. He's on one side and the bearded guy is on the other, both assisting.

The floor of what we're making is weird, and this makes it hard for us to continue. It requires big tile things, which we have. It's kind of like a Lego base.

Then I accidentally hit the reset button and oops, it's all gone.

Dreamers Computer Dream = Several people and I are trying to find the source of mechanical people we know are being manufactured. We are investigating a beach house where the key people of the manufacturing company are staying. It may not actually be on the beach, but it has the open, airy feeling and expensive but laid-back look of a celebrity's beach home. We believe only one or two of them are the culprits in the conspiracy.

It looks like it all began when this very good looking guy (if he isn't Brad Pitt, he sure looks a lot like him) moved in and became part of the company. We believe one of the women fell for him and he used his wiles to convince her to take part in this scheme. They are the two we are after. We have pictures of everyone. In all of Brad's pictures he looks absolutely breathtaking, allowing his hair to fall over his eye and smiling boyishly.

I am trying to break the code on Brad's computer. His is the only one that's password protected, which makes us reasonably sure our theory is right -- he's the culprit, and the information we need is on his computer. The others have given up, but I'm still working at it. Finally I break it! I used one my dad's prescription numbers, because I believe these prescriptions are part of the conspiracy.

Wait, there's another password behind that one! I don't even know where to begin with this one. I give up too.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm somewhere with my computer and Kevan (my boss)'s laptop all hooked up. I'm sleeping. Kevan calls and wants to know where the hell I am! I was supposed to take him to the airport! It's 2:00 in the afternoon and I have simply overslept. I feel so bad! My mind is overwhelmed with the thought, "I WANT TO BE DEPENDABLE!!" I ask him if it can be fixed. I have the strangest feeling that he was not just Kevan with his wife Bridget, he was also my dad and Chris (my dad's wife).

I'm talking to my dad, who is ill (as in real life)and I need to do something and Chris can't help. Maybe she's ill too. Or is it Kevan and Bridget? It's all very confusing trying to figure out what if anything can be done.

Kevan arrives where I am, and I need to do something with the computers. I've been trying to do it for a while. Now I have to shut them down so we can go. Someone offers to help and they have trouble with the laptop. They keep trying to get it to shut off. I'm running over there going, "No, I'll do it! I'll do it!" It turns out they did shut it off, only they didn't recognize when it was off.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm sending an email to a bunch of people, inviting them to have a philosophical discussion. I also send it to a philosopher I saw at Price Club, a clean cut man in his late twenties with dark hair. I describe the discussion as informal, where all of us can freely talk about out confusions.

I get an email back from the philosopher saying that he doesn't mind listening to confused prattling for a while. I'm surprised. I didn't expect him to feel above it, but to take part and add to it. He seems to feel he is the purpose of our meeting, the centering attraction, rather than an interesting participant as I'd intended. He goes on to say that he tried all of the things we were trying and they didn't work for him. He also adds that all of the "awake people" he knows say that there are a few things that are better since they woke up -- they sleep better and other small things like that. This shows he's not awake then, but feels he's closer the rest of us are. Suddenly I want to ask, how did he know those people were awake? If their lives only change in these small ways, how does he know they're really awake? Do they glow from the inside? Are they living good lives, what? I want to know!

Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm in a room on my computer. I accomplish something and then the computer is making this terrible beeping sound. I can't get it to stop. (In real life this is my alarm going off. It went off for almost an hour before I woke up!) There are other people here, and I think they are wondering why I don't just shut the computer off. My reason is that I want to end the program properly so as not to lose what I accomplished. This may be partly an excuse for some kind of compulsion though, as I'm not sure it's actually necessary to end the program normally in order to save my stuff.

Dreamers Computer Dream = (in real life,)I was afflicted with a severe case of
Neurological Lyme Disease for many years. Often times i found that, the unhealthier I was, the more I would dream that I was in a computer game. When I started to regain my health, I would be less- and-less in the game and more and more just playing the game. Now that I am completely healthy, I do not dream about computer games at all. The games would almost always be of the fantasy genre, and sometimes would be like Myst or the Zork series, particularly Zork Nemesis. That was my favorite game for a long, long time, and it may have ingrained itself into my subconscious or someting, but I am not an expert. Okay, so here is what I remember of specific dreams:

In one I had recently, I was in a 3-d adventure game set in a cave/mine/ dungeon type setting. I was the man from Quest For Glory, and I had to run to escape a wizard guy. His minions were all around the dungeon, and like the more nervous I got, the more enemies there would be. THAT is the really wierd part. I take Effexor XR, and that augments the wierdness of the dreams. Like, there were a lot of marroon-reds, and earth tones. There were big round temple of doom boulders that would roll after me, then i would click my mouse on a door and escape to another room. But I never fought the minions. (i am spontaneously using that word, minions. sounds like minced onion. it means bad guys.)

Some of my dreams have had the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen anywhere. That is so psychological... I have never seen these beautiful things that appear in my dreams, like, in one, i was in this temple that obviously was influenced by my trip to the mormon tabernacle in '97. The architecture of the building again... it was a roughly round building, about 150' in diameter, with an 8-10 foot wide red carpeted spiral staircase all around the edge. as I climbed the staircase, nuns from the temple/tabernacle chased me slowly. they were wearing pearl-colored robes, and there were marbles somehow. like marbles had a role in the dream. it was a computer game, but i was healthy when i had the dream, so there were only faint traces of being in the game. i was mostly playing it, basically.

Dreamers Computer Dream = The dream I had was many years ago when I first started University (1995-6). I had been introduced to the internet and emailing by a friend the summer previous and had only rlegated myself to simple searches and emails. However, in the Spring of 1996, I was introduced to IRC along with another friend and the concept took off on me like wildfire. I was using the computer 12 hours a day sitting and chatting with whomever would come my way. I did meet someone on there that I had affections for, as she did for me.

Anyways, when I went home to sleep the first few nights after I had started using ICQ I had very stress inducing dreams that made me feel like had actually not gone to sleep. Instead what I had found was that I was in some etherial place, adrift in space, with algorithms, domains and voices/text (mixtures) floating all about me. At times, the voices/text would surround me like water and would impede my progress at trying to contact the girl whom I had met online. I could sense that she was there in the stream somewhere, as were others that I knew. But I was insistent on chatting with this girl and would not let anything deter me from chatting with her. I can remember having to sift through other people's typed messages (which there were a lot of) and try to find the message she was trying to send me.
I would wake up wondering where I was, and there were times where I would wake up typing and talking to whomever I was chatting to online.

As a side note, this was also a time when I was very new and into Chi Gung/Meditation, so this could have been an actual latent ability to tap into the (Electronic) Akashic Records.

Dreamers Computer Dream = in my dream i was sitting infront of my computer like always just typing away when all of a sudden a message came up on my screen saying " Virus detected" then all of a sudden i was transportedd into what kinda looked like a cave where i was fighting a dragon which probably was ment to represent the virus. Anyway I was throwing these fire balls at it and way dodging the dragons attacks.

Anyway in the end i lost, woke up in a cold sweat and a week later a virus trashed my compter. Freaky!!!!!!

Anyway take it easy and remember its all a dream - Later -

Dreamers Computer Dream = I was in English Class, and the computer in the class was on(or atleast I thought it was on), and my friend clint was on, on his screen name which was Lantene and I wanted to respond because he was constantly calling my name and I wasn't able to respond and then AJ from the Backstreet Boys was in my class and he asked me what's wrong and I told him "my friend is online and I can't talk to him" AJ was like "what are you talking about the computer is not even on" This dream was very weird what can it possibly mean? In this dream I was frustrated because I couldn't even talk to Clint online and sad too because at the time I hardly spoke to him since he was busy, or see him because he lives 1500 miles away.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I kept on dreaming the same dream then later on in my life after I forgot about it it came ture.

The dream was about one of my net buddy's having a problem and coming to me for help.
I told him to take it easy and every thing would work out.
He took my advise and is saying he is now having dreams about me.
I don't think he is telling the turth for some reason.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I've had too many dreams to recall at the moment (I dream almost nightly!) but I ran across this site and thought I might as well mention the first one that came to mind. A few years ago, when my current boyfriend was still only a friend and crush, I dreamed that the two of us were hanging out at school in the art room (a daily happening at the time) chatting and laughing and looking at humor websites on the computer in the room (also a common occurence). Time passed, the scene shifted slightly so that we were hanging out in the main part of the room again, I went to go see if any of my friends in my favorite chat room were online and my guy friend followed me. Grinning and horsing around, I tried to push him away from the computer and he wrestled back, eventually picking me up around the waist, holding me over his shoulder and walking out the door to our next class since the bell had rung. I think my dream was showing how I wished I could play around with him more like that since in real life (at the time) I was still extremely shy about being close. Not sure how much this helps especially since the computer wasn't a huge focus in it, but it was important to me since it happened at a time when we were still getting to be better friends, and looking at common interests online while waiting for the bell to ring was a favorite pasttime.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I have several different "flavors" of these dreams; some are in html, in others there are only interludes of a unix command line, and sometimes I am even 'coding' my own dream in c++.

In the first two, images accompany the code. It's as if I can see the "movie" while the text types over it. I am always aware that I'm dreaming during these, and they are usually what I would consider to be within the range of 'normal' dreaming for me except for the code. They most often occur after I have spent the workday building html files or working within unix.

The c++ dreams are a little stranger in their content. There doesn't seem to be any waking-life trigger, and there is *no* visual imagery. I'm not aware I'm dreaming during these. A typical one begins with being inside a program, feeling part of the code. There is always a quest involved...something I need to or want to do. It's just blackness, with tiny white command-line characters, and I manipulate these until I have built the 'program' that will do whatever it is I'm trying to do. When I ask the program to run, I immediatly wake up. The interesting thing about these dreams is that I work in html, unix, and java. My c++ knowledge only extends to having built simple calculator programs several years ago; in other words, I only know enough of the language to recognize it within the dream...not to be coding entire programs using it.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I have had many dreams about computers. They have evolved over time. I dream about the organization of folders and subsequent categorizing of relationships with everything. When I'm thinking about people sometimes I will categorize what I'm thinking about them, why I am thinking such thoughts and how that makes me feel. I think like a consious person a lot in my dreams. I love dreaming. Since the computer is an extension of the brain, I am very interested in organizing my thoughts much in the same way I organize files and folders. I recently dreamt about someone I knew in my youth. This person is destined to be vey successful. I dreamt not about talking to her, but rather I visualized files which were all under the sub-category of this person. When I had certain feelings, they went into a specific folder. The same with certain thoughts. Somtimes feelings and thoughts would correspond and their folders would be linked.

Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamed I was part of a huge hacker organization who were working on a project to translate a human mentality into digital format, so they could enter the internet and crash the system that threatened society in reality. The system was Macdonalds food franchise.

Macdonalds was buying up all the land to build shops, and when a shop owner sold his franchise or just went bankrupt, Macdonalds would just rent out the land, not sell it. Eventually, they owned half of all the worlds surface.

The industry that boomed the most was the computers, we (the hackers) could not control business and politics around the world with the "realestate" all owned by McD's.
I was just a bystander at the beginning. I just did my tasks and didn't ask questions. Then I found out from my trusted old friend (worked in realestate) that McD's had made plans to buy up all the computer corporate monsters too!(like microsoft). I could not speak to my superiors about this, as I had done something in the past to curb my credibility.

I had to take on the responsibility myself. I felt a heavy pressure upon me. If I left it, I would regret it later. So I went into the research labs one night, Only to find Ronald Macdonalds all circling me, like ninja warriors, ready to pounce.
I felt very anxious and turned around and began to run. I couldn't run far as I arrived at a blank wall. But just to my right was a case on the wall containing a Laptop computer. I grabbed it and used it to transform (magically) the clowns into hamburgers, that scurried around on the floor for a while then disappeared.

I then was suddenly in a dark place, when a light came on and I saw my father(has been dead for 10 years).
He said nothing but gave me a golden medal with a heart on it and my name engraved. He vanished and I woke up sweating profusely.

Well thats it. Hope you enjoyed it.
