And in an unrelated dream... (I usually have two dreams per night, one that picks up where the last left off and a random one that may or may not be awesome).
I had inhuman strength, durabilty, speed, and the ability to fly. I put these abilities to good use fighting off an alien invasion alongside what could only be described as Wonder Woman's fiery-tempered red-headed sister. lol
This is what happens when a nerd like me tries to unfuck his derailed Circadian rhythm.

I had a dream where I was making out with the Incredible Hulk. I told my mum about and asked what she thought it means. She said "I think it's that you want to have sex with the Incredible Hulk".
I said I don't, and I was hoping for a more figurative dream analysis than that, and she said "You feel pressured by doing our gardening".
She doesn't often try to be funny, but she absolutely nailed it on that one. xD

May I ask how old you were when you two had that particular conversation?

Guys, guys!
GUYS! HOLY SHIT!
YOU GUYS!
I had the most indepth, vivid, ab-crunching face melting, skull twisting, asteroid obliterating, laser rapier "ZZZT"ing awesome System Shock dream!
The dream, imagine this as I saw it: A slow pindrop ambient sound you hear in suspenseful movies or videogames (the opening credits of Blade Runner, or when you find the corpses in the original Exmortis flash game. Come on you know what I'm talking about right now). It clearly says, which I'm convinced is Irrational Games Proudly Presents, then goes quiet and dark for a moment. I can feel my heart kind of beating a little heavier than it should, even as I sleep. A very brief message, and a few flashes of images and light, (which two of which I could have sworn were SHODAN's face and the other being SYSTEM SHOCK 3, but only for a minute) pop up before it IMMEDIATELY pans over into the dark of space, the whole thing OOZING the original Alien's opening, ambient industrial music that sounds vaguely like Trent Reznor's Quake 1 soundtrack playing as the title card pulls up this message (what I vageuly recall since it's hard to read in your dreams):
January, 2133 Nine Years After the Tau Ceti V Expedition
New Hamburg Orbital Metro Major Exports: Gas, Fuel, Minerals (From Orbiting Moons) Major Imports: Dry Goods, Computer Equipment, Weapons Population: 20,000 TriOptimum Corporation Influence:
.....
........
...
UNNACCEPTABLE
Then it's me (a bigoggled cyborg hacker much like the protagonist in SS2) laying dormant inside a docking pod as it autopiloted me towards a space station metropolis built in high orbit over a gas giant (it was never mentioned what the name of it was, but I know it wasn't Jupiter). The interior is super lit with awesome-ass green and purple colored lights, this whole thing was just PURE FUCKING SCIENCE FICTION, yo. I pull a jack out of my head after I'm finished downloading information and intel into my cyborg head, and this cheery lady's computerized voice comes on and says "Initiating docking! Have a nice day! I hope you enjoyed your flight!", and I hop out, getting out my two pistols (one is the pistol from SS2, which strongly resembles a Jericho 941 with a laser sight on the bottom, and the other was the magnum from SS1 which basically looked like a glorified Walther P38/Beretta 92 hybrid). I look around the docking bay area, aiming my two guns akimbo, the lighting rather quaint, but one small one above the door is strobing like a ravey motherfucker. I go in, tapping on the door control and open it up, heading my way toward the main control area only to find that it's deserted. A bloodstain near a chair, but no bodies. I get on the main communication channel and ask what the fuck is going on, a reply (with hazy video feed) of a dude in a security uniform tells me something along the lines of "Jesus Christ, you picked a shitty place to dock at. You're gonna have to fight your way all through 'em!" Before the video feed is abruptly cut off.
I then take the elevator and drop down a level toward a weird cross between an ecological sort of deck and a maintanence shaft, with some gardeny stuff, tools, and a whole greenhousey feel to it, especially since it consisted of nothing but winnowy Skywalk halls made entirely of thick glass. The whole thing is very creepy, felt like the air had dropped, and creepy throbbing music (this time remiscent of Super Metroid) was playing, the whole place having a tint and lighting that more looked like an old farm out in Iowa at night than a space station. I moved my way forward, checking a security panel, hacking it and deliberately inducing interference to the security cameras and sensors temporarily, in case a hostile force had hijacked it.
Turns out I was right. I was spotted by hybrids from an adjacent skyway, and it was really advantageous that I could see them coming miles away. I blow one away with my magnum, sending the hybrid in front of the others back and knocking two others domino style and I run the other way to try to find the exit. I pass by a protocol droid with his bottom half completely missing, stuck to an alien growth in the wall as he's yelling extremely harsh cuss words at me (pretty much everything in the book, including out of place ethnic slurs) and basically telling me "YOU SELLOUT PRICK! WHY ARE YOU DOING THE BIDDING OF THAT DESPOTIC LITTLE SHIT?!" in the most vulgar way possible. I quickly run away, Terminator 1 style action music playing while I enter an elevator, turning and popping off a few shots at the hybrids that are trying to follow me in, before the doors close and I descend into the commercial/department store sector of the space station.
I look outside the glass viewport of the elevator only to notice that the place is fucking SWARMING with hybrids (a lot of them with guns) and rogue security bots. I'm basically like "Fuck this" and open the emergency hatch, and crawl up it. I then get into a vent shaft, clawing my way into a neon-graced cyberpunk style cigar shop (it's basically like blade runner's noodle stand, but an actual store... and full of cigars rather than noodles), loot the already dead owner's body of nanites and pistol ammo (as well as that of a hybrid he gunned down near the entrance), lock the door, and get on the landline phone. The guy in charge has a full working video feed and he's in a large security office, and I can see other constables in the background. He tells me to get to the main override control area and separate the contaminated (full of hybrids and rogue bots) from another segment of the space city with actual normal civilians and people, and emphasizes that I "can't sneak around them at this point" and that I "have to haul ass and kill any standing in my way and not waste time). I then see security personnel in the background get riddled with shurikans, and then as he looks back to see what the hell is going on, he gets decapitated by a laser edged katana, an intimidating black clad figure standing over him, squatting at camera level to reveal itself as a cyborg ninja (I can see others milling about in the background) as he holds up his hand and twiddles his index finger patronizingly like he's Sonic the Hedgehog or some shit. He then punches the camera feed out and severs the call.
Freaked out, I stand by the door, ready my pistols, take a deep breath, then kick the door controls and run outside. The entire segment is basically the first ten minutes of S1E2 of the Walking Dead TV show, but with zombies with aliens attached to their heads and lead pipes and guns in hand. I immediately plug a couple of hybrids that are in my way with the magnum, and instantly the entire posse of the "Many" is on my heels. As I'm running, the windows of department stores crack and shatter because I'm being shot at, and fast pace techno music is playing. I take a pistol and shoot one in the head as he's about to tag me with a shotgun, and he reels his body back and fires his gun into a clothiers shop's sign and sends sparks and smoke all around him. I then dodged a security bots laser ball, and empty the magnum's clip into him, causing him to explode and catch fire to the hybrids standing around him.
Getting to the main administration structure (heavily locked and secure) I get an ice node out and break the lock remotely, as I'm ambushed by the ninja with a katana. I punch it in the face and pistol whip it a few times as I reel out of the way of it's sword, then fire two times into his chest and throw him into the door controls, the sword plunging into them and electricuting the ninja to death.
Running in, I get into a very computer mainframey interior as the door shuts behind me, full of weird vats/pods of glowing liquid (most likely coolant or something) and get to the main computer terminal, getting out an old school floppy disc which has a big smiley face on it with blood coming out of the eyes and mouth, and put it in.
I wait a few minutes or so, pacing around as the files download and I hear the hybrids trying to bang their way in (unsuccessfully), then all of a sudden it sounds like I'm in a windy void (think the final mission in Earthbound right before you fight Giygas), and the walls around me start crunching off the area and get carried into a very grainy and hazy void of dark "Ones and Zeros". I start to panic, knowing what's coming, as the whole fabric of reality gives way, and all that's left is SHODAN's face peering into me, saying "Many thanks, insect. I AM IN CONTROL."
Dream ends. The result is me waking up and feeling energized and pumped as fuck. May never have one this awesome again.
Game of the Year, 2013. I wish I had more entertaining dreams like this other than my subconscious preaching to me about stupid shit in the most boring ways possible.

Lately, I've been dreaming that I'm in the realm of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (which ignores T3/Salvation). In my dreams, I'm the son of one of the few cops who survived the T-800's rampage at the LAPD precinct. As a result of what he saw, he'd retired from the force and got work at the same hospital that Sarah Connor had been held at when the T-1000 showed up (shitty luck for the win). Anyways, he'd had some major PTSD from his experiences and wouldn't talk about them at all until one day he saw a news report on Sarah's antics and said "she's right". He'd been drinking pretty heavily and spilled to me... right before going to his bedroom and offing himself (side note: dark much?). Eventually, fate led me to cross paths with the Connors and I wound up distracting the T-888 that was chasing them long enough for them to escape. After that, I pretty much joined up with them and in my dreams, I'm acting as a scout of sorts, learning how to spot Terminators and helping to disrupt Skynet's plans.

Latest dream update: one of my jobs in the Resistance is recruiting new members which is tricky as hell when you consider this is well before Judgement Day. Still, thanks to my efforts we now have Michael Ironside and Claudia Black on our side.
