I had a pretty amazing, Pokemon analysis fueld dream last night that checks off a lot of classic "Theorymon dream" boxes. I'll point this out along the way.
First off, this dream fufilled a reoccuring thing in my dreams right away: this dream has "phases". Basically, very loosely related parts of the dream that transition into each other. That's how I'm gonna divide this dream up!
Phase 1: The Mission
I was summoned to the Queen's chambers in the country of Smogengland. The queen by the way, was
emma !
Queen
emma tells me that I must go on a royal mission: a strange miasma has been coming from Gamefreak's headquarters on Mars. My mission is to not only stop them, but also bring back some pernil, because apprently, Masuda is good at cooking Puerto Rican dishes.
Yeah this checks off several boxes: I have a lot of dreams where Smogon has either dominated the world, or become its own country. Often times, random members I remember head them too!
Also, it appears to be a running thing in my dreams that Gamefreak is located at Mars. I have no idea why this is beyond maybe "lol Gamefreak is weird", but I haven't seen that in a dream in a long time.
A court jester asks me if I want to write an analysis for Rapidash, but I tell him "there's no time, I must make haste to the rumpus room!" (It's very rare I remember exact lines in my dreams, and in fact I speculate that my dreams have me "feeling" someone said something rather than it happening!)
The rumpus room by the way, is a giant boot that literally kicks my ass so hard I land on Mars. In this dream, this feels like a totally normal idea to me.
Phase 2: Mars
When I land on Mars, I see a tombstone. The tombstone turns into a clown with blond hair that claims to be "the god of spray tans". It screams and asks me a riddle that I can't understand, and when I stare at it blankly, it gives me the middle finger. I look away for a moment, and when I look back, the clown has transformed into a toilet that rockets into the sky and explodes into fire works. I view this as totally normal, and walk into a door that has suddenly appeared.
A common thing in my dreams is that there's a lack of "permanance". So, when I look away from stuff, they change. This is gonna sound weird, but over the years in my dreams, I often look away from stuff I don't like to specfically change them. For some reason, that clown freaked me out, and I'm not even scared of clowns! Conversly, if something is cool, I try to focus on them so they don't go poof!
Phase 3: Gamefreak HQ
Turns out that door was to Gamfreak HQ! I walk in, take off my coat, and grab myself a ham sandwhich that's hanging off the coatrack to eat. Gamefreak HQ looks exactly like my house, except Masuda is doing a hula dance on top of my couch with
Blitzamirin . I view this as totally normal, and walk into my bathroom, which has a sign that I somehow know means I know Pokemon Gen 9 is there!
Places looking familiar happen a lot in my dreams, and so does the next generation of Pokemon!
Phase 4: Pokezoa
I don't remember what gen 9 was called, but on the cover I saw a giant butterfly with horns, and the other cover was a giant green scorpian. As is common in my dreams, when I "play" the game, the video game takes up my entire field of vision.
I appeared to be at some post game mission, where I was to catch "Pokezoa". They were sorta like Ultra Beasts, except they were all based off of microscopic creatures, and they all had unique abilities. Here are the ones I remember
Pokemecium: Ghost / Dark, had an ability that restored 50% of its health when it got a KO. Seemed to be a dark red Paramecium
Pokegrade: Steel / Water, all I remember is thinking that it was the best defensive Pokemon in the game. Seemed to be a blue tardigrade, aka water bear.
Pokealge: Grass / Water, had an ability that made HP sucking moves restore 150% of their health.
Pokecoli: Pathogen / Poison type, had a move called "smell blast". Seemed to be based off of E.Coli.
Pokeyeast: Fungi / Food type, had a move called "british bread" that restored the health of benched Pokemon. I speculated I had this in my dream because I fell asleep watching a youtube show called "Tasting History" LOL
Pokerus: Pathogen type... OH SHIT! Yeah this is where my dream ends! At the climax of my dream, it's revealed that Pokerus is in fact, the strongest microsopic Pokemon of all. It has a move called "Effort Vampire", where it literally steals my Pokemon's EVs, then smacks me with a 100 BP STAB.
I decide to Master Ball it, but Pokerus catches the Master Ball, screams "FUCK YOU", and then throws a knife at my face. And... that's when I wake up in real life!
Weirdly competitive bents to my Pokemon dreams happens a lot!
I know I'm known for my wacky dreams, but it's rare I get a dream as epic as this one, this is like a once in 6 months thing at best! I blame writing and uploading Pokemon analyses, watching cooking shows, and reading about microbology being my main activities yesterday for this absurd dream lol.
