I had a CRAZY dream last night. It involved a new Sonic game.
So I was playing, getting used to the controls and everything... fast foward, where Sonic and Tails are heading to a fortress. I'm guessing it's the final zone, but the dream was hazy.
Sonic was feeling depressed for some reason. What I can tell from the start of the story, Sonic had another big fight with Eggman, went Super, and trashed Baldy McNosehair's toys. Tails was also along for the ride. They, however, fell for yet another elaborate trap and were sent to another planet.
Fast foward again, where Sonic is homesick. Tails tries to cheer him up, but Sonic doesn't budge.
Then, out of nowhere, Alvin and Brittany- yes, I said it-of the, well you know, show up. They cheer up Sonic, which somehow works. He thanks them and runs into the fortress. (Guess what the setting is.):)
Into the fortress, where I can tell, I basically mastered the game. Sonic was running full speed, collecting rings, boosting, running on and climbing up walls (Homage to Sonic Lost World), everything you want. The goal ring was in sight, and 5 seconds later, I'm there.
And that's what I remember of the dream.

You really need to let go of this new sonic game thing >.>
Did lost world let you down in more then one way that you feel this is needed?

^ As a moderator in a chatroom for lucid dreamers, I have to ask that you don't analyze his dream as some sort of extension of his posts from yesterday. He frequents a Sonic forum, so it's only natural that he'd eventually dream of something Sonic-related.
Besides, the cool dreamers don't play the games in their dreams; they star in them. No fanfic can beat a nice lucid dream; it's the one place you're allowed to act like a self-insert fan character and not be teased. :)
-
The Kid: No. I actually like Lost World. The stages are fun, yet challenging. The story line is a bit confusing, but get past that, and it's fun all the way.
Thorn: This isn't an extension of my posts from yesterday. This is a true dream story. If you believe in God, like me, you have visions of the future galore.
-
First off, I wasn't the one saying your dream was an extension of your post; I was actively telling The Kid not to say that.
Secondly — and I'm opening a whole can of worms here, but whatever — I don't believe that God is giving you precognitive dreams about Sonic games. You'll have to deal with my skepticism there.
-
Thorn, anything can happen when you sleep.
Anything... even... this....
*turns into a super human*
-
I didn't say this post was an extension of his previous. My words may have gave off that meaning but that wasn't what i was getting at
-
The Kid: If it wasn't meant that way, then it was just meant as a derisive message. At that point in the conversation, I don't think there was any reason to be derisive. However, now that dwhitethegamer is saying he may have received a message from God about the next Sonic game, I think there's reason to take the piss out of him.
dwhitethegamer: I've already mentioned that I'm a moderator in a lucid dreaming chatroom. I am aware of much of what can and cannot occur in sleep. One thing I've noticed over the years is that the moment people start to believe their dreams have some connection to outside, supernatural forces — God, Satan, the Astral Plane, the spirits of the deceased, etc. — they get crazy. Really crazy, in fact. Considering that many people don't even recall their dreams, it seems that dreams would be a silly place for God to get in touch with you; he'd be taking a huge risk of just having his message lost. There's also the Occam's Razor principle, wherein the explanation that requires the least amount of assumptions is usually the most correct one. I think it's safe to say that you've had some exposure to Sonic over the course of the day, so you had a dream with a Sonic-style plot. In fact, I often dream of Sonic games, and not one of my dreams has turned into a Sonic game.
Let's put the icing on the cake, though. As a lucid dreamer, I've run fast, done flips, sported some grinds on rails, leaped from platforms, flown around at top speed, and other Sonic-style stunts. The avatar I just put up is how a friend of mine (another lucid dreamer) claimed to see me in a lucid dream of his. If we assume that God is equally likely to contact you, me, and my friend, then I'd say the odds are 2 in 3 that the next Sonic game stars me! That's fucking awesome!
-
That was too much win from thorn
Edit: If thorn WAS in the new sonic game i would most likely buy it. Would be the best game of 2014
-
Thorn: Uh, no. Don't work like that.
-
^ Do elaborate, then.
-
Thorn I think you're making the mistake of arguing that religion has to be logical. It's not and if he's convinced that some sort of God is communicating to him through dreams about Sonic then there's not really any logical arguments against since belief is illogical to begin with.
That said, I do think you should take Thorn's advise to heart. Use your common sense and not what the voices in your head tell you to do. You hear a lot about those people on the news.
I personally believe in the word of Asatrons Sånnickföljare. I'm currently the only member but that's likely to change as soon as the word gets out. We believe that Ask and Embla just were mistranslations from runes of Sonic and Sally and that since salvation through war with Denmark isn't really an option anymore you have to compete through the internet in various Sonic games in order to reach Valhall. At least that's what it says in the ancient notebooks I found under my bed so it must be true. No need to ridicule me for my belief, I understand it might be hard to swallow at first but give it time to digest and hopefully you too will realise the truth of my words. Anyway I need to do my daily prayer routine so I probably won't answer until I found my Sonic 1 cart. Cheers.

TimpZ: Uh, say what?
Thorn: Since you asked me, I will. I know for a fact that your dreams won't come true unless you go directly to SEGA and ask them to make a game that stars you. Only then will your dreams come true. My dreams, at a majority of the time, come true. They usually happen in a real-life situation. My dreams are like the first person shooters, I'm right on the action, making decisions that impact that dream. In the start of the topic's case, I'm playing a Sonic game. Nobody knows what would happen in the real world right now, but if the Sonic game IS real, then you would expect me to play the heck out of the game.
Satisfied? I await your responses.
-
A fan going to SEGA, giving them an idea does not guarantee a game so that logic is flawed...
-
^I'm not saying it's an idea; The fact is that if Thorn is lucky enough to have a game starring him, his dream can and will come true.
-
My dreams, at a majority of the time, come true.
This is the part for which I want clarification. The rest of your statement, where you say you control the dream consciously, sounds like a normal, well-controlled lucid dream, which makes it even less likely to be precognitive because you're controlling things, not God. Yet they still come "true"? Your theory seems inherently contradictory.

what the hell is going on in this thread
You're not alone. I'm a bit confused too.
-
Don't you guys remember when this was a Sonic forum?
This is really confusing and is going increeeeedibly off-topic. Stop. Please.
-
did you just backseat mod an admin what is this i don't even
-
thorn pls
i just play the sanic and it goes fast, who is this gahd u talk abut
-
This is TSC gold, this topic. Right here.
Is this whole "my dreams seriously actually come true real talk not BSing at all" really a big deal? Just have fun inside your dream and leave it at that :P
-
^ Exactly, Kirbymon.
-
That actually sounds pretty cool.

The percentage of my dreams coming true are between 80% and 95%.

what the hell is going on in this thread
If you must know, what's going on in this thread is that I had a dream, I posted about it, and people are criticizing me for a simple dream.
If I had a dream about cake and posted about it, a phrase will be crystal clear:
THE CAKE IS A LIE!
-
^ No, we're not criticizing you for your dream. We're criticizing you for your claim that believing in God gives you precognitive dreams. There's a difference.
-
^Still criticizing. I didn't criticize about your dreams, did I?
EDIT: I didn't say God was controlling my dreams, He was giving me an insight into the future.
-
Why did you need to bring Religion into this at all? <_<
-
dwhite, that's what has me confused! You said "I'm right on the action, making decisions that impact that dream," so you're consciously directing your dreams. But God is also giving you an insight into the future while you direct it...? That implies that you control the future!
It's not your dream that I'm criticizing. I think dreams are beautiful things. It's your supernatural claim that I doubt. If you want to criticize the dreams I have, by all means go ahead, as I'm not claiming they affect the outside world. Because of that, the only one that needs to believe things is me. You, however, are making quite the broad claim, good sir.
-
I love how irrelevant this thread is to the OP.
I mean, wow. \ PogChamp /
-
Thorn: Let me just make this crystal clear...
I DON'T CONTROL THE FUTURE!
What I meant is that IN the dream, I'm making decisions. I'm not controlling the dream.
FocusSight: Am I not supposed to?
-
Since you are the moderator of lucid game dreams, Thorn, why isn't there a board FOR game dreams?
-
He frequents a Sonic forum, so it's only natural that he'd eventually dream of something Sonic-related.
Uh... that means I come here a lot, do I?
-
HermitHelmet, considering that the OP and Reply #3 combine to state that the OP is a vision of the future, I'd say inquiring about his visions of the future is very much on topic. Please stop backseat modding.
dwhitethegamer, I'm a chatroom moderator on a different site related to dreaming. Why would I open up a dreaming board on a speedrunning site? Beyond that, everybody believes that he/she is making decisions in dreams, whether normal or lucid. That's not a special quality. >_> What I'm curious about is this idea that your dreams are precognitive; that is, that they "come true", as you put it. I still don't really have any explanation on that. You're not giving anecdotes nor are you positing a reason beyond "God wills it." If you're going to make a big claim, I expect a good explanation. I've already mentioned that I've watched people go off the deep end after connecting their dreams to supernatural occurrences, so this is a sore spot for me.
Also, don't triple post. We have a "Modify" button for a reason.

You know what? This is a very good question. In fact, it's SUCH a good question that I've gone ahead and fixed this. Here you go (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?board=157)
-
As I said, 80 to 95% of the time my dreams come true...that is, if it's a real life situation. It's as if my dreams are actually something that's going to happen sometime... who knows what time it is. If you're implying that I'm just not giving reasons other than "God wills it", I don't know why I even printed the topic. You say people go off the deep after connecting dreams to "Supernatural occurrences". This isn't a supernatural occurrence, this is happening somewhere in the future.
Also, I don't hit the "Modify" button every time because I'm lazy. :)
EDIT: No, flying fox. I didn't say I don't care.

THANK YOU, PARAX! Just what we needed.
-
Yeah Thorn, geez. His dreams aren't supernatural, they're just foreseeing the future. I see nothing wrong with that. Stop being a jerk with all your fancy "logic" and "reason".
-

By bad for Backseat Modding. I noticed it changed from MORESO a Sonic Thread to a thread that had changed it's discussion.
-
Well, Dwhite, Religion is a sensitive subject. Also, the scientific research being done on dreams disproves your claim <_<

Just putting it out there, but your dream omitted all of the sports bandages, Hulk Knuckles, and the scarf (http://www.sonicretro.org/2014/02/new-spin-off-franchise-sonic-boom-revealed-will-have-tv-shows-and-video-games/). I'd've thought God would've shown you that part.
