One of my dreams last night involved me going to sleep in my bedroom, then waking up in a fitness room.

Another involved me being in my room watching footage of what was supposedly some Pokémon fangames from the 2000s, yet they had high polygonal counts and ran at 60FPS, the only thing off being lower-than-normal draw distances. Just before this, I’d turned on my GameCube to a system message being read off by a feminine voice, and also got a visit from some nerdy girl who doesn’t exist in real life.

Another involved the family living room getting a rather small ultrawide TV, apparently made by Vizio, that would automatically turn on when someone walked close enough to it, and when no one was there anymore, would, display a 15-ish second countdown in the top-left corner. If no one came back in this time, it would turn off. If someone did, more time would be added to this countdown. I also recall a late grandparent being around in the house during this dream.

Another involved me playing a nonexistent Ed Edd 'n Eddy game, aesthetically and dynamically kinda like Super Mario Sunshine, where you play as Eddy being instructed by Numbuh One from Codename: Kids Next Door to shoot purple liquid at purple turrets. Each turret required three shots to be taken care of, but if you ran out of ammo and a turret remained at one HP, they’d turn red and look more menacing, and try shooting the player if they were nearby.

Another involved me planning some 3D top-down adventure game with 3D BG objects and 2D sprite objects, sorta like mainline Pokémon Gens 4 and 5. One mechanic was jumping into ventilation shafts to automatically be taken to the other end, like those pipes in the Genesis Sonic games or in Jazz Jackrabbit’s Tubelectric.

Another involved me being at a hotel, where one of the staff members was a snow leopard who could speak lucid human language, but also enjoyed rolling on the floor and being cute like a dog.

Another involved me being around some actual dogs, one being one of the dogs my family had growing up.

Dream mainly involved being in/around the area of a school gym. Walking in, I was greeted by a chalkboard sign that called me chubby. In the gym, we had some celebration of an alternate universe version of MADtv that was all-animated, more like Robot Chicken or Cartoon Network MAD, that supposedly ran from 2000-2012 (or 2014?). Part of this included me reading up on it in a book whose paper pages were interactive like a tablet. Sometime after that, the gym had a book fair set up in it. One of the books was dedicated to the Top 10 Kirby romhacks according to its authors, apparently students at whatever school this was, and the cover somewhat resembled those of the “Complete Peanuts” compilations, and contained a screenshot of Dream Land 2 DX with Kirby next to Coo against a red sky with clouds. There was another book whose cover showed Shaggy from Scooby-Doo behind Raven from Teen Titans on the water, and there were some other covers featuring Raven, too.

I also recall part of a nonexistent anime, where the protag tames and rides some feisty ice biome creature. A supporting character then takes off the protag’s arm band, which was apparently the only thing keeping the protag able to get through the previous episodes, causing the ice creature to stop responding to the protag and start attacking them.

had a dream I barely remember that started out with someone who was raised in the wilderness by animals, and ended with an epic magical quest to save the world. They weren't related in the slightest, but were somehow part of the same dream

Also the whole "Saving the world" thing locked it in a secondary timeline, so no one knew what happened
