dream friends

Similar to imaginary friends, when you have a dream and people in it are your friends but they don't look like anyone you know and don't exist in real life. They just represent the concept of friends in the dream.

"I had this dream last night where me and my friends fought a battle but they weren't my real friends, they were my dream friends."

"I dreamt that me and you were sailing in the olympics, well it wasn't you, but it was a dream friend that was supposed to be you."

Dermy Wermy

The most homeless gay man. A state of being in homosexual purgatory. When your dad forgets to tell you to jack off with the magazine and you shake the woman instead. A rotund man-child that has an unhealthy obsession with Po-Kay-Mon, back tacos, and V-tubers.

I used to be Dermy Wermy, but I got my life on track, went back on diet, and stopped participating in the fagging system.

Dream

I did the thing Emma. I said a racism to Frannie. Kind of. I told her not to think of the N word but I know she did and then I told her to picture a Persian guy without it being racist... Which is literally impossible.

Hym "Yeah, that would be dope. If my dream was real my grandma would be alive. I was at their house (where I grew up) and they had these giant stacks of cookies. Multiple plates full of these massive stacks of cookies filling the kitchen. And I remember thinking 'Why the fuck did she make that many cookies?' And then I woke up..."

Dermatise

To preserve the skin of a deceased animal via taxidermy for the purpose of artistic, functional, or technological transformation.

Dream Sciences

The multidisciplinary study of the cinema that plays in your head while you're unconscious, featuring you as the star, director, and bewildered critic. It attempts to answer why you're giving a presentation to an audience of giant chickens, why your teeth are falling out (again), and why your high school crush is there, looking disappointed. Despite decades of research, the primary findings of dream sciences remain: dreams feel longer than they are, and you will always wake up right before the good part.

Example: "According to dream sciences, my recurring nightmare about being chased by a giant rolling cheese wheel suggests I have unresolved anxiety about... something. Probably lactose intolerance. Or debt. The science is unclear."

Dream Technologies

The burgeoning market of gadgets and apps that promise to decode, record, or even influence your dreams, usually failing at all three. This includes headbands that flash lights during REM sleep to "lucid dream" (but just give you a headache), journals that claim to spot patterns (but just prove you dream about falling a lot), and the classic "dream catcher," a web-based filter that catches bad dreams with about the same effectiveness as a colander catches water. The ultimate dream technology would be a DVR for dreams, but so far, we only have blurry sketches drawn upon waking.

Dream Technologies Example: "I bought a dream technology headband that promised to let me control my dreams. I spent all night trying to will myself to dream about flying, but instead, the headband just recorded that I dreamed about being stuck in a meeting about spreadsheet formatting. Progress?"

Dream Engineering

The ambitious, and largely unsuccessful, practice of attempting to architect your own dreamscapes with the precision of an urban planner. It's the art of trying to build a beautiful, coherent fantasy world in your sleep, only to have the construction crew (your subconscious) show up drunk and build a Escher staircase leading to a room full of clowns. You might go to bed intending to dream of a peaceful beach, but your engineering fails, and you end up on a beach made of broken glass during a tsunami warning.

Example: "He tried to use dream engineering to construct a serene forest glade where he could talk to his deceased grandmother. Instead, his subconscious built a DMV staffed by angry squirrels where the number was 47,382 and his grandmother was nowhere to be found. The engineering was a total loss."
