Fever Dreams

Been battling a viral infection lately and haven’t slept in days due to endless nightmares about DOPs, SOPs and VOPs. Tangled Houdini messes that don’t make any sense at all, sometimes even my blankets feel like node wires wrapped tightly around my body.

Sounds funny, perhaps. But its starting to get frustrating.

Ever had CG-related nighmares?

Funny you should say that, i did have a dream recently that was related to this…

It’s kind of hard to explain, as it didn’t even make sense to me after i woke up… but during the dream it all felt natural, like things had always been this way…

Basically, it was as if i was seeing the world as a “Raw Render” if you get what i mean? everything was rather dark, noisy and literally no physical effects like glare or bloom existed in my vision at all… it was as if i was living life in an “Un-Composed” world… Staring at lights caused no blur or glare, i could see the direct light source… even the sun was just a round yellow shape in the sky, being overlapped by flat shadeless clouds
Strangely for some reason, the whole dream felt extremely disturbing to me, even though nothing scary or un-nerving happened, it just had a real “Impending Doom” feel about the whole experience.

I’ve had others, but they are so abstract i don’t think i could actually explain them very well… It would sound like the rantings of a mad man lol.

Great idea for a thread, as i’m sure many people who spend the bulk of their time working in a 3d environment will have elements of it seep into their sub conscious and effect their dreams :slight_smile:

I assume that you, like me, tend to have very vivid and involving dreams, almost lucid on occasions?

The times I dream of CG every now and then is mainly just me using Blender on my machine rather than anything totally immersive and weird. Though sometimes I dream of my machine having some weird virus which could do things like air infomercials (that I can’t escape from) and changing Windows 7/10 to something akin to Win98 or before.

In fact, quite often, my dreams don’t have any relation whatsoever to whatever media I consumed the day before. Sometimes I wish I would dream of whatever I viewed during the day but my brain doesn’t appear to work like that. Strangely enough my dreams can have an appearance of things seen for only a few minutes the previous day (while again, big things like movies have no effect).
