Dreams from 2008-2012 Originally Posted on Facebook
The solution to their lawsuit was for humans to put the puzzle of Pangaea back together and once again live on their single continuous piece of land while the Ocean Creatures reclaimed the more than 2/3rds of the planet back for themselves. They offered 10 miles off of all sides of the coastlines, but said humans really had no business venturing any further out into deeper waters.
The 10 miles of coastlines were provided so that the use of water transportation for goods would still be available, but no more oil tankers.
The kicker to the dream, and this is where i woke up from the stupidity .... was the biggest objection to this ruling that humans had were the Real Estate Lobbyists ..... they cried out that 4 entire continent-long coast-line properties would be lost in this settlement.
Oh .... and they wanted Planet Earth renamed Planet Ocean.
8-20-2014 - Had this dream about something called "The gosine way of life" or "the gosign way of life". It was gosine or gosign. The context of it had to do with identifying that there is a societal custom of maintaining relationships with people throughout your life. (As opposed to not making friends.) one of the examples had Jason Lee in a relationship with Megan Fox where he was able to observe her age rapidly in like 1 minute throughout until turning into a corpse, and everyone Jason Lee would observe, he would see them age before his eyes until they all would rot and turn to dust. And he would have philosophical questions regarding our existence. Most were lame defeatist questions like "what's the point of having relationships when we all are going to turn into horror show corpses."
"The gosine way of life" would keep flashing on the TV screen that I was watching Jason Lee on.
WTF IS GOSINE?
Had other dreams of running a Lawnmower through property, but just a single line.
Explaining to cigarette smokers that smoking is like punching your best friend in the face.
Configuring Cisco switches (really annoying dream - really really annoying - because it was a training drill where you had to configure a switch while 3 people would be talking to you all giving the wrong information about IP address, subnet mask and gateway and bad advice for partitioning the network info VLANs and all swear their info was right even though it was like 3 completely separate configurations.
Going to seafood restaurants that only sold ice cream and cake and had really confusing lines to place your order where all of your ice cream is melted by the time you get to the cashier.
Hotels with sinks in strange locations and electric outlets in really dangerous locations.
I had other dreams too but those are the ones I can remember.
I went to bed earlier than usual and thus dream world was altered.
I type these dreams into Facebook because I can't see in the dark and then I read them when I wake up.
9-30-2010 - Dreamt about a caravan parade of gigantic Chinese elephants that had sunglasses and chinese rug design elephant clothes + a rope that hung from the sky.
Another dream was password enabled elevators, where if you had a login and password in the elevator, you could activate a person search from facial recognition cameras placed around the hotel. Creepy but cool
Amelia: I'm more interested in the aggressive iguanas....do elaborate....
Jonathan Lippe @Amelia: now that the full day has expired, the memory of the dream begins to fade, but i remember the iguanas as someone's pets on leashes, there were two of them, and they weren't the chillin stoned iguanas that just take in the sun, they were agressive, like untrained dogs. They had an ovular shape to their body like a smooth fish, and the weight of a heavy fish (think baby catfish) when they'd bump into you. They'd kinda morph into Komodo Dragons briefly, real strong, muscular menacing Komodo Dragons. The iguana scene was a lead in into another dream scene. I don't remember which came first but there were animals that kept trying to get my attention and following me, one was a cartoon that looked like a real-world version of Bambi, (which in retrospect i dont know why i was trying to escape Bambi, Bambi is a cute deer that I would like to talk to) and eventually the Bambi deer and some other animals finally caught up to me and pointed out they were really humans going through a captured-in-an-animal-body-phase. I felt guilty and shameful from running away from them, and I did notice they really were trying to catch up to me and did not look like they wanted to cause any harm. All they wanted to do was say hello to me because they knew me in human form and kinda wanted to blow my mind with this interesting revelation of changing form, and while they were currently not in human form, i knew them as humans at a previous point. It was that classic scene in the movies where someone gets turned into an insect and trying to shout to the humans to not kill them. "hey, its me, your buddy!!"
One of the dreams was of myself running into old friends who all said they were back in school for high-tech training - things that i wouldn't picture them doing. And then when i'd ask them to explain the courses and subject matter to me, they all said, "well im signed up and paid for the class but i never go, the teachers suck."
Each day when I leave the new Tampa building in real life, there is an animal party in the distance at the lake. At least 7 different species of birds and other things all congregate there and hang out. Its like a freakshow. And I see this scene when going to my car each night and everyday I forget to bring my HD videocamera to capture the lunacy of the animal kingdom in human-eye-viewing distance.
You saw the picture Chris took of the walking catfish that were outside the building. Sometimes this human size bird family blocks the door to exit the building. I always go out the other door, because i'm not walking in between them. Its 4 against 1, and they're all my size. Its a freakshow.
April 5- 2012 - I had a dream last night of a movie starring Jim Carrey and The Fat Boys. I only remember the scene where they were on a passenger airplane together and were creating jokes and disruption for the other passengers and stewardesses.
4-4-2012 - Epic dreamworld last night: someone really needs to invent the dream VCR recorder, because I need to upload these dreams to YouTube. They are monumental. Last night's dreams were Academy Award winning. To describe: I saw a few movies in the dream that don't exist, I listened to music that I supposedly composed, performed and recorded that do not exist, and saw a music video for them, John Travolta attacked me and others with non-lethal riot control weapons. One of them was an electrocution weapon. It didn't feel like a taser, but more like the feeling when you're about to get shocked, when the charge builds in you before the shock. electric current flowing through you. Many more dreams as well. It's very interesting to view non-existing movies and listening to non-existent music.
1-26-2012 - Intense dream world adventures last night included: being in a sky scraper that fell over, exploring a location with super large animals who did not fear humans and were aggressive towards - and finding a 60,000 dollar bottle of some kind of cream for breast augmentation where these animals were grazing, being in another location that was about to be invaded by Asian savages, going to a party in another state with people my age that had very strange customs like saying weird phrases when passing by when walking. Also a dream where DOS 8-character naming limitation was somehow limiting people's ability to recall events. There were other dreams too. I like going to bed on time so I have extended dream experiences.
9-18-2010 - I had a dream last night I accidentally swallowed a star wars action figure. (tie fighter pilot) and the rest of the dream I was contemplating if I could "number 2" it out or if I could throw it up (I was concerned it would get stuck in my throat, or if I should go to the hospital. I need to go #2 right now in real life and am hesitant. The #2 I got brewing feels dry and solid and rocky. I'll report if I find a toy. I was hoping if I number 2'd it out that the figure would come out head first like a baby cause dang if he came out sideways or feet first, ouch. I'm glad I woke up and none of that was real. I also tried recalling if I chewed it up and thought was food or something. I feel like I have a toy in my stomach right now and I don't. I'm glad but I'm still traumatized from a realistic dream. I wonder what the dream interpretation of swallowing toys means. It could mean I need to grow up. Like swallow all the immature stuff I still do and expel or crap it out into a toilet and flush it away. I played madden 11 til 3 am last night. I had a lot of fun playing but afterwards felt dirty.

A Response to The Articles that Are Anti-Gaming and anti-gamers
Playing videogames like The Legend of Zelda and Earthbound as a kid improved my intelligence and created an experience that defined part of my life. (Anyone who played these games when they came out would co-sign my statement.)
I played a lot of video games growing up – but the difference between my generation and the current ones, is while we enjoyed video games, the term “gamer” was not invented yet – and there was SEVERE PEER PRESSURE to not develop what we called:
A NINTENDO TAN
The rule of thumb was the following:
· You get home from school.
· Eat a quick snack, change your clothes.
· Be on the street to pick teams in no later than 15 minutes after getting off bus.
· Whichever season was in, was the game we’d play. Football, baseball, basketball.
· You play, and you play hard until your mom calls you home for dinner.
· After dinner, you do your homework.
· Once homework is done – you play video games – BUT YOU PLAY A SPORTS video game such as Tecmo Bowl, Madden ’93 , Madden ’95, NES Play Action Football, Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, Bulls vs Lakers, NBA JAM, Hoops, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, Super Punch Out, Super Tecmo Bowl, NBA Live, NBA Hangtime, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat.
The days when it would rain, you don’t stay indoors and play videogames, you go out to the field at the end of the block and play Bears-Packers gridiron re-creation of the games where “the elements” were experienced and the mud and the glory were relived.
Videogames were for AFTER dinner and AFTER homework.
EXCEPT the first week the new games come out. Then there is an exception – but usually about 45 minutes into playing a sports game, we would all want to go out and do the real thing.
With that said, there was a RITE OF PASSAGE everyone had to do at some point – usually you’d do this at night time.
You had to complete the game “The Legend of Zelda” and “Zelda 3: A Link to the Past” because those games train your mind on how to think outside the box and complete a quest of mammoth proportion and was worth experiencing and discussing with others.
You also had to complete the original Super Mario Brothers because that is what every kid had to do.
Oh, and you had to beat CONTRA – the ultimate boy game of all time.
In fact, this guy James Rolfe aka The Angry Nintendo Nerd made a 6 minute video explaining what it was like to be our age and to complete Contra.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/angry-video-screwattack/723402
I nominate James Rolfe as the spokesperson for my generation (we’re the same age) and I’ve seen every single video (over 200) that he’s made over the past 6 years because he explains my exact video game experience EXACTLY as I experienced it. It’s like we grew up on the same block. (Except he didn’t play sports.)
He created a living for himself that I tried so hard to create for myself with video and audio but just didn’t have the same support team and talent that he had to make it possible. If you wanted to know what I wanted to be when I grew up, The Angry Nintendo Nerd is it. He does his marketing, his videos, EVERYTHING how I do it – but he is much better at it and has a much more mainstream niche.
His website to learn more about him is www.cinemassacre.com.
I’m notified on my iPad via RSS feed and his Cinemassacre app the moment he makes a new video.
Anyways, its ok to play videogames – but NEVER let yourself develop A NINTENDO TAN. (which means pale white skin from staying indoors).

Crawfish Encounter
We had a close encounter with the sea kind last nite.
i dont know who abducted who.
They invaded the land.
We took it into our mothership home and ran tests on it.
Strange creatures.
There were fish walking all over the street yesterday.
They're invading.
its not normal for me to see animals.
I live in a sterilized computer lab, void of any life, except maybe microbial.
When i see life, i'm bewildered.
Including plants.
