This is a thread about dreams, not about growth.

I dreamt that I was throwing a huge tarantula off the balcony. Probably because I'm afraid of big spiders. Recently, a huge spider crawled into my room. I was terrified, thought it was a banana spider, chased after it, and barely managed to throw it out.

I had a dream the other day (probably because of the experience), where we and some guys were playing a board game, moving around a square field, and we needed to get somewhere quickly, so we used an invisible wormhole and teleported a certain distance forward. It was probably because the game board was collapsing behind us, so we had to hurry. The camera was isometric, but during the teleport, it switched to a first-person view. It felt like being pulled somewhere, but not torn apart, just blown away at high speed and then you're already there. That's how fast the movement was. I wish we could move like that in real life. :)\n\nToday, it was a different game. There were two of us, and we were characters (I remember there were character sheets with bios, etc.). We arrived in a stagecoach at a door, as if it were the entrance to a dungeon. The environment looked like Diablo 2 or something similar. When we were inside, I only remember that we and the other guy were trying to save a streamer who was being "put to sleep" by some kind of mushroom zombie mutant from The Last of Us, although I haven't played it and don't remember them well (a colleague just posted a meme about the game), but these were clearly smaller and acted differently. In the end, we had to fight off the zombies and drive the mushroom away from the streamer, but while she was slowly recovering, new zombies kept coming, and the mushroom would capture her again.

The Nebos and Jack, consumed, have risen from the dead, and now Ferrus is trying to stop their fungal vengeance!

I dreamt that I started watching the Polish-Ukrainian adaptation of Game of Thrones, but the doorbell rang and woke me up, and I only remember the first scene, which, however, doesn't really fit with Game of Thrones.
That's what it means to spend the whole night fighting Poles and Ukrainians in Might & Magic.

And if you fight them in real life, the dreams will be even more interesting.

I had a dream that I was playing an online game like GTA, but I was inside the game myself. And of course, everything there was more realistic, more elaborate; you could equip different clothes in all the slots, get various skins for cars (I had a pink one), fight against other players, and so on. And so, we were driving in a group of three(?), and some guy started shooting at us (like in PUBG); maybe we had messed with him earlier. In the end, he wounded me, and I quickly stopped and got out, hiding behind cover, and started healing. Meanwhile, my companions were hiding behind other things. In this game, food restored health, so I started eating some chips and something else (that I had looted). Then, Locke appeared (maybe he was with us) and started saying that we needed to eat different kinds of porridge; they were healthy. And if there was no porridge, we could make do with cereal, although it wasn't very healthy, but it was better than chips and other junk food. He was such a nag, it was awful.

A monstrous machine appeared in the sky above the city, resembling a flying tank with statues of knights and demons, and began to drop bombs. In response, a local superhero – some guy with long hair wearing only a diaper – started flying around the streets, but not to fight evil, but rather pretending that he was the one causing the chaos and destruction. Seeing this outrage, I got into a bulldozer and drove over a diner, which broke apart into identical pieces as if it were a construction set.

And then I became a member of parliament and gave a speech from the podium about the need to raise tariffs. (Am I Trump?? O_o)

Asugukh expansion in a nutshell.

Spoiler: the dream wasn't very interesting.
I don't remember how it started, but in the end, my friend and I were getting on public transport, but somehow we ended up on different buses. He was standing across the street and getting on his bus, and I didn't have time to get to him, so I decided to get on another bus on my side of the road. And even though it's strange, they were both going in the same direction. I even gestured to him, saying that I would catch up with him on this bus, and he should wait. By the way, all this was happening on some narrow, winding streets outside the city, as if on a hill, like in Italy or something. However, mostly trees and small (nice) houses were visible around, and in the distance, it seemed like there were already mountains, who knows. So, I'm riding in the transport and getting ready to pay for the fare, but it turns out that they accept some colorful little things there, like various kinds of pills (both round and long). The currency exchange took longer than planned, and I missed my stop, ending up in some wilderness. There were almost no houses nearby anymore, but there were more forests. I started thinking, I guess I got distracted and rebooted. As a result, I was already observing, as in a movie, when the camera suddenly moves away upwards, and the character in the movie screams "NOOOO!". That was me. And around me was some kind of green labyrinth, and I didn't know how to get out of it. Also, at some point, I remembered that I had already passed my stop and got lost. And this was in another dream. For some reason, it seemed that I was in approximately the same place, but now I doubt it (even though these places don't even exist). In short, I don't remember what happened next. Maybe I remembered a previous dream, in which I was either riding a tram or in the subway, considering that I ended up in some kind of underground, then went upstairs and walked past garages with bushes until I reached the "center". There was also a lot of other stuff. So, it ended with some familiar girls (relatives?) trying to catch something that was me out of three aquariums filled with algae using toy fishing rods. That is, I had to guess in which of the three aquariums this "me" was, and then somehow manage to catch me in that pile of grass (presumably instead of the green labyrinth). At the same time, I was flying nearby, like a ghost, and trying to point with gestures in which aquarium I was, because I couldn't speak.

So, what's the point of this dream? I just thought that it might be interesting to create a map (for a game?) based on my dreams. Yes, the terrain and locations are usually completely unrelated to each other, separate pieces of land, etc. But if you try to remember/memorize them, and then put them together and draw them, it could turn out to be something cool. Some locations will be similar to the real world, others will look like something completely different. Why bother coming up with some worlds and settings for games when you can take material from dreams and get something original.

I dreamt that we, along with the Hvshniki (I don't remember everyone who was there, but most of the active forum users and expedition members), were living in the Donbas region, working two jobs: as waiters during the day and as cleaners in the evening. Drones were constantly bothering us, and we had to clean up debris and falling concrete all the time. I said that this was some kind of messed-up life, and we should start a business and make something of ourselves. I suggested developing a video game that would be a mix of Darkest Dungeon and Endless Summer, a psychological horror-eroge set in a dark fantasy world – it would be a completely new genre, and we would definitely succeed in the market. But the Hvshniki kept missing deadlines, and I spent the whole day just calling, writing, looking for them, and trying to get them to finally work on the game.

working two jobs

I'm ready if you are. I even have my own ideas. (different ones)

Considering some of the issues that arose during development, I can't even imagine the level and scale of the conflict that would occur during any collaborative activity. Especially something as complex as creating a game.

Whoever comes up with ideas or figures things out is the leader, and the rest contribute ideas as needed and vote. Easy peasy 😎. All that's left is to learn how to code and draw properly.
