Any Duke related dreams?
#1 Posted 15 January 2016 - 02:28 AM
I had a weird Duke3D dream last night where there was a secret in Incubator that wasn't discovered in years and it was discovered recently, I remember finding by accident. It was found underwater (near the end of the level) and it contains a green nuke button that was supposed to take you to Faces of Death (the hidden Dukematch level) but the nuke button didn't work for some reason. During that time, I had in mind the user map FBSP003 because I remembered that map also had a green nuke button that sent you to Faces of Death. Anyway back to that room, it also made a creepy sound when you discovered the secret, it wasn't the usual "secret level" sound but it rather used the EXACT same sound as the one from Knee Deep in ZDoom mod where you find the Tormentor's head easter egg but it was much creepier in the dream. But that wasn't too bad as when later I visited infosuite site that shows Game Secrets and entered on Incubator to see that weird secret being mentioned here, it showed a very creepy wall with a crack in middle and 2 images of mutilated babes.
I remember there were more details but this is all I remember right now.

However, I sometimes dream of the urban areas where I grew up in 80s California, and Duke 3D city levels can capture the essence of those areas very well. Especially when the monsters are dead and I'm just looking down a street or at an overpass. It's very peaceful, without the monsters/gang members and it gives me a nostalgic, almost sad feeling, like the ghosts of my childhood are there. Maybe that's why I keep coming back.

I can't remember much but this was a dream in a few parts but I remember the dream as two big parts. The first part was a hunt after a goal. I'm not sure what this was about. I think I dodged through a caravan and got on its roof. After more running I was on top of what was the ground which was a roof of a building. I know this sounds weird but dreams can be weird. This guy in a white tee was trying to push me around. He had butch masculine ideas of what he wanted me to be but I needed to defend my own sense of femininity against him. I'm not sure what I was wearing. White vest and jeans most likely and some light jewellery. Maybe a watch or bangles. I knew I couldn't win against him and was trapped in a no win situation. I really felt I needed to play him super cute to wiggle through his traps and escape. I was heading out and these killer whales swam up to the building I was on the roof of overlooking a compound full of crates. This was really weird like it felt like the first level of Tomb Raider with the pool where you fight the bear. Okay, so after maybe three times they buzzed me I needed to escape. This is when a loads and loads of baddies dressed head to toe in black (who I sense were men) arrived on a train and swarmed through the stacks of crates to storm my position. Just writing this it reminds me of a level in Half Life - the one with the Ninjas. I felt these ninja or commando types were thuggish and toxic. Classic never listen to anybody and don't stop bad guys. The final last moments of this dream were me dithering. I felt hemmed in by this attack and needed to break through and make for the train or diagonally over the compound through the crates then I would be free! I know I was beset by baddies in the dream like I had dropped into the zombie apocalypse but I actually felt good about myself. Most anxiety dreams I remember left me feeling really bad. I didn't feel bad about myself or terrified after which does surprise me.
So, basically, this dream seemed to have a mix of Duke Nukem, Tomb Raider, and Half Life with a dash of Walking Dead. I'm sure other things were in the mix but I can't untangle these associations.
Oh. I also can't remember having a gun. I think I had a sense of a gun or knife but can't remember seeing myself in this dream carrying or using them. The bad guys had rifles...
After I woke up I felt this dream was super important. I wanted to spend time interpreting this dream to discover what it was telling me. I tried really hard to remember this dream because I knew I would forget if I didn't try and was falling asleep again. I had forgotten about this until you reminded me!

Yeah, it wasn't much was it?... I think it was a reaction to the sexism topic in general discussion. I have wondered about the mapping aspect too. I've been neglecting this and not sure whether I will or won't do maps. I don't know... I'm guessing my brain was garbage collecting. I like dreams and can't remember dreaming for ages. I liked this dream and am glad I dreamed it.
I like people telling me their dreams and doing dream interpretation. I think it helps you better understand what your subconscious and emotions are saying.

I was inside one of the maps I was making at the time since I spent so much time on it I was thinking a lot about it, ended up there in my dream/nightmare. I guess I was in Duke's shoes lol. Maybe Duke was saying you see what you put me through arrrghhhhh. I woke up and took some enemies out

That's always the case with monsters in dreams isn't it: "ahh I'm safe, they're outside and can't get in." Nek minut "fuuuuuuuuuuuuu....."
It's like the very thought process of identifying them as a non-threat makes the brain change them into a threatening status.

In one dream (this was a lucid dream, so I could control what I was perceiving) I had just teleported to 3DRealms to take a look at DNF, and I had caught George huffing butane to get ideas for DNF.
In another dream I was Duke and I had to fight against an acid-spitting monster that could knock helicopters out of the sky, so I defeated it by shoving a number of pipebombs up its ass with a baseball bat, and then blowing them up.
In a third dream, I was looking at the 3DRealms home page and noticed an update advertising the release of new screenshots and a new video for DNF. However, the new screenshots were just tiny pieces (16x9 or so) of the 1999 screenshots, enlarged to 1280x720, while the video just showed a drunk Joe Siegler goofing off.

Anyways, the dream... I dreamed I was in a backroom of sorts, with gray walls and a leaky pipe from the ceiling. This man directed me over to a big buff guy, who was wearing a gray almost black tank top, blue jeans, and boots (I had seen the Nightstrike Duke action figure for sale on 3DR, and that's probably why he looked like this). It was Duke, and he turned around and looked at me and I got to see what was behind the shades! He had one blue eye, and one green eye (he had heterochromia)! He then said something to me along the lines of "Stay safe, kid." and some other things but I can't remember. I then woke up and I absolutely believed that was the reason for the shades for many years, and though it isn't, I still like to think it is

I remember playing the Last Reaction & Water Bases TC. It was a bit different in the dream, such as having FOUR new episodes instead of two. And the episode selection screen was a bit similar to Quake 3 Arena Single Player menu with a picture for each episode. So I decided to play one of the episodes (I think the first one), which starts in a canyon with a lot of lava and there were a lot of monsters, some of the game bosses, some regular monsters and some custom monsters. I noticed that the max health is 150 (in the original LR&WB mod the max health was increased to 125) but I already started taking damage just as level started (maybe I was standing on lava?) so I had 146 and then I decided to activate God Mode cheat to avoid dying and for unlimited jetpack. I remember that I had EDuke32's own HUD enabled like I usually do but the font was 1.3D, or rather the HRP 1.3D font, but the screen resolution was not set up correctly as the image looked a bit squashed and the numbers were a bit out of the screen. Funnily enough, yesterday I actually installed Quake 3 and messed around with screen resolution, so that's why this happened. I probably also had in mind a playthrough of LR&WB by Mikkel Frost Gaming because in his playthrough, he uses HRP (for textures only) and in few of his videos, his resolution wasn't set up correctly. Too bad he gave up on level 3 with the jungle. But still his other Duke3D playthroughs are better.
Anyway back to the dream, I don't remember much else but there was one weird thing happening in one of the "office" rooms with shits spawning on the floor. Oddly enough, even if you stepped on them, they would still respawn later and it was a room filled with them. The monsters could also step into them. That's all I remember.

What is weird is that today TerminX actually showed a picture but it was about Bombshell prequel, not TM mod.

That's why the mod hasn't been released yet. It usually happens at 100%, but they skipped over that and missed the opportunity.
