Hahaha. Wow, that was something to watch. Granted, I do that sometimes as a 32 because of lag. Spent my entire super arc blading 1 titan last night (his connection was very red) and he didn't die until after my super had already been exhausted. It was bad, but somewhat amusing at the same time.

I consider laggy games a kind of performance art.

I actually really, really enjoy insane lag games. Not in a "I feel cool playing this enjoyable FPS future-simulator" sort of way, but in a "this is what it's like when I try to run in my sleep" sort of way.
As a side note, ever have that dream where you can fly, but only as fast as you can walk? It's a total let-down, right?

Never had that dream. (Tangent to follow)

I've actually never had a flying dream in my life. Typically my dreams involve being "somewhere" that I know, like my home town or my apartment, but the architecture is completely different and often not spatially possible/logical/correct. I go from room to room, or house to house knowing exactly where I'm going, but none of it actually corresponds with anything in reality.
Anyone else have crazy dreams like that?

According to one of my old dream journals, I've had similar. Except there was flesh behind the paint or wallpaper, and all my friends were hurt in every room, with broken legs or arms or what have you. So I kept ripping bones out of myself to set their wounds. And bees and butterflies would fly out of one of my arms where I'd ripped the bone out, while kittens would crawl into the other. And Freyja kept turning her back on me, but a white toad kept giving me moral support. But other than that, totally similar.

If that's not a real dream then that was one of the most inventive, creative paragraphs I've ever read in my life. Kudos!

That's not even one of my freaky dreams. That doesn't even count as a bad dream. What I don't get is that a lot of the time I can recognize that I'm dreaming, but I can't change anything that happens in it.

The old house is a walmart with a bowling alley in the stock room dream. Get those all the time.
What I've been doing is watching my dreams change from one dream to another. According to the internet, which we all know is true, you usually only have a dream for about 45 minutes at most, then it turns into another dream. Watch it next time. Even though you maintain continuity, it starts to have a totally separate storyline after about a half an hour, and it even has different characters, even though it seems like they're the same dudes.
For example, I have old house walmart bowling stock dream where my sister is Kevin Bacon in drag and we are having a pinewood derby along the lane, and I used graphite and cocaine to grease the wheels a little bit.
Then, seamlessly, I'm now driving the pinewood derby car, which is now a Cadillac, and we're in Seatac, WA complaining about the town being named after the airport, and my sister turns into MoltenSlowa, now my business partner, who convinced me to take this trip to visit U-Haul's corporate headquarters, which are definitely in Arizona, but they're moving here since they got bought by that Canadian company.

I only ever remember the dream I'm having just before I wake up, but perhaps their craziness is a result of amalgamating all of my night's dreams.

Sounds dumb, but try a journal.

Yeah! And I've heard that it also helps you to have lucid dreams as well!

I kept dream journals up until I stopped being able to even remember that I was dreaming. If nothing else, it makes it really entertaining to read later in the day and ask yourself "What the hell?!"

Most definitely

I remember every single one of my dreams now. You have to start with a journal right by your bed, and you have to write in it the very instant you wake up. At first you might not remember much, but as time goes on you will remember a lot.
Also being more aware in your dreams helps too. Eventually work your way up to Lucid dreaming, and remembering your dreams will be easy.
My dream journal has almost 2000 entries.

I used to be like that, but I never got to actual lucid dreaming. Nowadays, I'm lucky if I can even remember that I had dreams, even immediately after I wake up. I'm actually pretty envious of you for that. I used to run great Call of Cthulhu sessions based off of my dreams.

Lucid dreaming? Never found it hard.

I remember my mom telling me once when I got a nightmare that next time I had one, I could control it, because it was in my dream. I was very young at this time, so my nightmare I kept having was a giant teddy bear attacking my house. So, I decided next time I had that dream I'd just make the bear my friend. So I did, and we lived happily ever after in my attic.
I then proceeded to do that with nightmares until I was around 11, and I realized I could do it with any dream. So, I'd say "Today I'm going to drive a Buick Grand National at 130 miles per hour." Then I'd go to sleep, and boom. Pop right in like a game of GTA3 where I entered a cheat code. I got bored with it some time in high school, now I don't bother any more.
I wonder if I could still do it. I'll try for a DBO experiment tonight.

For me, it was like watching a TV show that had a high emotional and sensory impact. "I'm dreaming, so I can change this, right?" Except I couldn't. Not in the slightest. Sometimes I'd be trapped in "my" body (be it as myself or as a character in the dream) and sometimes I'd be an observer without a body, but I could never force it to do something, or change my outcomes in the slightest.
Again, my sincerest envy for your ability, especially since you could control your nightmares as a kid.

I've had similar dreams. But for me it's a city. A singular city is where all my dreams take place. Its nowhere I've been in real life, but when I'm there I know where everything is.
And it sucks you've never had a flying dream! They're the best! My flying dreams always require me to "take off" like a plane, running along the ground with my arms outstretched. Once I'm in the air, however, I can fly like superman. Heh, when it comes time to land I have to descend in a slow spiral like the space ships in a Flash Gordon episode.

Remember way back when you played destiny with us and we had that one super awesome lag fest at crotas? I just remember thrall teleporting around and not dying. Oh and the hole where the crystal is supposed to spawn was fun to drop into.

Played a game during IB just after xmas like that...

My team was all level 31s with one 32.
The other team was all in the 22-26 range.
We won 20k - 3k. Four of us got Reign of Terror medals. At the same time.
Kudos to those guys for sticking it out. Can't have been fun for them.
