MechoBioNonNightmare Dream
Last night I had a dream that I was having a picnic with a few people. I remember that Snackrabbit and Nikki were there. It was a nearly cloudless day. A giant cloud formed in the sky and started to take the form of some sort of giant machine like form - very difficult to describe. But basically it looked like some sort of anime organic machine. I made a comment about how strange this looked to Nikki and as we stared at it it actually formed this machine thing - a giant - very giant and ominous looking machine. Then it started shooting at us - these blue energy bolts that were like flying barbs. It took several seconds for the barbs to reach us and when they did, they just vanished. Some of them hit me but it felt like a puff of air and they dissolved on contact. I kept thinking that this was very strange and new, but it never occured to me that I was dreaming.
Sooooooo, remember, if a giant organic anime robot machine forms in the air and shoots non-destructive barbs at you it means . . . .
YOU ARE DREAMING!!!
So pay attention and don’t take anything for granted. If something weird happens, do a state check. Read your watch, if the numbers swim, or close your mouth and hold your nose - if you can still breathe, or eat a rock, is it soft in texture with no taste, or breathe under water, if you don’t drown, or close your eyes, if you can still see, or if you can just fly . . .
YOU ARE DREAMING!!!

I have to say, Beesucker, that I think your “advice” to assume that what you’re seeing is a dream, is very dangerous and socially irresponsible. So listen up people; if you see a giant organic anime robot machine, don’t wait around for it to start shooting at you. Don’t assume that if it does attack you with electrical blue barbs, that they will be non-destructive and pain-free. RUN!!! FIND COVER!!! When you finally reach a giant organic anime robot machine proof structure, then and only then, is it safe to start looking at your watch, hold your breathe, and eat rocks. Live to dream another day.

Danimator’s words are indeed wise, only I would extend this general strategy to include ANYTHING you have never seen before AND things that you already know to be dangerous. This obviously includes people. If you are at work and the guy who normally changes the water cooler doesn’t show up and is replaced by some other guy…RUN!!! FIND COVER!!! When you finally reach a water-cooler-changing-guy proof structure, …
It also might be appropriate to be cautious around anything that:
is taller than you
is shorter than you, but has fangs or beady eyes
can comfortably be described as “giant” without argument
looks at its watch several times a day to check if the numbers are swimming
suggests eating rocks for any reason barring some sort of bizarre mineral deficiency
Never assume you are safe. The world, dream or otherwise, is a vicious, dangerous, and wholly inconclusive place to conduct your existence.

Okay, you caught me. I was really trying to get everyone to drop their guard so that me and my minions can board our organic anime robot machine and take over the earth. We are really interested in the earth, but you humans are just way too smart for us with all of your ‘warnings’. In our dimension we don’t have these ‘warnings’. It makes me think of my little son bleep blop who walked off the edge of a black hole while I just watched thinking, ‘there must be some form of communication that could prevent this from happening’. Ah yes, the human ‘warning’. Very clever. Right now I am scratching my tentacle and shaking my third head. One day, earthlings! One day!

Wait. You can create fully formed human English sentences, and yet you named and/or translated your son’s name to be….”bleep blop”?
That’s almost as bad as naming him after the savior of a popular religion…

how can you mock me, earthling? I have lost a son to a blackhole! What ‘warning’ could I have received to ward me away from this very low-class planet with all of you running around buying ‘beef tornados’ from Circle K? My slipdanor is misting!
