Welcome to the dream gameshow, the object of this gameshow is
a)fun
b)learn a little more about each other
c)enhance our abilities to lucid dream by acquiring a more questioning attitude toward reality( <= what makes this “on topic”
The first set of experiences is to follow, simply decide whether each event happened in a dream, or in my real life, simply no? Find out. . .
Chased through a farm by an ostrich that wanted to hit me with a table.
Swing dancing on a train platform (there was no music)
Shopping at Safeway.
Riding the train dressed as a pirate (mid september)
I’ll post the answers next time I’m on. Feel free to answer and submit situations of your own. Just remember to tell us which ones your guessing at.
1. Chased through a farm by an ostrich that wanted to hit me with a table.
Dream. Then again, we’re talking about Canadian ostriches, right? It’s a close call.
2. Swing dancing on a train platform (there was no music)
Real Life. You were probably trying to get a girl’s attention. (j/k)
3. Shopping at Safeway.
Dream, no wait, nightmare.
4. Riding the train dressed as a pirate (mid september)
Real Life. If it was a dream, you probably would have said “as a pirate”, rather than “dressed as a pirate”. Maybe.
gee, thats a tough one… its probably the least obvious ones that are the dreams, so i’d say the safeway one is a dream, and probably the ostrich one(a table?), and the rest are “real”
just a guess

ps. you dont know me, but i like you(could i get any freakier?)
My grandfather owns an ostrich farm(yes he’s in Canada too, also owns llamas) but I’ve never been chased by one weilding a table as a weapon. So this was a dream.
I was more specifically doing east coast swing, it would have been strange had I not been dancing with a girl I’d known for ~1 hour. Anyway, it sadly was real life
I’ve had 3 Safeway dreams in the last 13 months. Including this one.
Real life. I was coming home from the first day of Frosh Week, and my faculty was designated as pirates. I only had 3 beer before crawling onto the train.
Come on! Someone add some of their own experiences. . . I guess mine were just too easy(swing dancing on a train platform! it seems so like a dream but you got it ). . .
1) Running around door to door asking for donations for leprosy, which I conveniently had.
Mmm… a dream?
2) Having sex
Mmm… it depends on how old you are. thinks I’ll say that it’s a dream.
3) Presenting my kickass cell project presentation for science class.
Mmm… that’s easy… almost everyone do that so I’d say it’s IRL.
4) Attending a seminar for lucid dreaming.
Mmm… that’s hard to say. I never attended a seminar for lucid dreaming so I don’t know what it’s like… so based on my guts feeling… no… it’s just a dream.

Here’s mine…
My left foot is wider and longer than my right so it sometimes is hard to find right pairs of shoes to wear or to buy.
I was born three months prematurely with a twin sister, but she died 5 weeks later.
When I went showering in my bathroom, I got myself stuck in for 1 hour while my dad had to break the doorknob just to get me out!
I noticed that the noodles are around my Uncle while he was laying sick. The smell of noodles were disturbing.
they are all pretty detailed and possible so i think all are rl except for maybe the noodles w/ uncle, but then again uncles are weird.
Some of mine should be easy if u’ve herd me say them in the chat room b4.
1.)played a prescreening of Halo 2
2.)went on a spiritual journey involving a cat, fungus, and balloon all white
3.)helped the riddler and two face finnally kill batman
4.)got costume fitted for a movie by a fashion lady with a funny accent
5.)shot someone with a lethal gun

Dream but I may be wrong.

Real life

ooooh I’ve just seen some more Raging Canadian
Talking to a mentally handicapped man about an abstract branch of math. Real Life
Trying to buy my sister a sword for a wedding present. Real Life…people get weird wedding presents!
Running from the cops in Vancouver. Right either 3 or 4 are probably RL…or they may be both dreams (running away dreams are quite common) …mmmm…Dream???
Running from the cops in Calgary. Real Life?
I thought you said these were easy? they are harder than the first group.
Well… #1 sounds like a dare or something, I’ve known people who’ve done that, so probably irl. For #2, you’d probably just have nightmares about swimming if you didn’t like it irl. But I’ve had some awesome swimming dreams, so both, I think. #3 happens to most people, but it happens especially often in nightmares, and if you don’t run, the dog probably won’t chase you., it’ll probably just growl and stuff. And if it did chase you, it’d probably catch you pretty quick. So…
Running around door to door asking for donations for leprosy, which I conveniently had.

Having sex
-RL (j/k…)
Presenting my kickass cell project presentation for science class.

You are a crazy, crazy, RL brother.

Sure, RL, what the heck. Your picture certainly does look malevolent.
Running from the cops in Calgary.
What were you doing in Calgary in the first place?
Moogle’s:

You just seem like that kind of person to me, so I’ll say RL!

You can’t be dreaming that.
3 I have been chased by a very fierce dog
Unless you live by pit bulls, dream.
