I've dreamt Americans were unable to say "The only proper English is the Queen's English" without faking a British accent.
Exploiting this, and the fact Canadians were too polite to argue against it, the British imposed an international agreement where the British accent was the only true accent.
Then World War III began between the northern and southern hemispheres, because the Australians would have none of that.

@zecc someone pitch this to the movie makers!

Have you been reading up on the Battle of the Golden Spurs or something? Because that is practically what was done during the Matins of Bruges. If you pronounced 'schild en vriend' wrong you where French and killed.

I dreamt I got phished.
Probably related to my push to get a safety clock on the wall where it displays how many days since someone's been phished.

Last night, I dreamt that I work for a newspaper in advertising department.
There is a startup car vendor that aims to produce high-tech cars want to hold a trade show somewhere, and therefore decided to order cross page full page Ad. I designed the Ad for them, and therefore they invited me to join their trade show, and maybe take some photo for a follow-up Ad too.
The trade show is a success. Although that is a new brand, there are thousands of orders signed on those two days. After the end of trade show, when all the customers are gone, the company owner goes on stage to thank everyone for their effort. That's when the thing start gets awkward.
The owner said although with such a huge success he should have serve everyone a nice dinner, but the parts of cars are expensive and the company now lacks adequate cash. Then he asks everyone in production department to be very careful on planning the production steps because if any step goes wrong, the company will be in deep trouble. And after that he tried to light up things a bit by stating that after the orders has been fulfilled, they'll treat everyone with a multi-day trip and paying working days. However, the effect is no good and there is uneasy silence that growing into rumble.
I woke up after that so don't see how it ends, but that's really strange as I had never been in advertisement design job nor automotive industry before.

I dreamed something about taking a college Chemistry Lab course and James Hetfield was the instructor. I don't recall any other details.

I'm guessing you'd spent lots of time on ionic bonding. Maybe even Metallic(a) bonding.

The idea goes back a lot further than that.
Judges 12:5-6The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a survivor of Ephraim said, “Let me cross over,” the men of Gilead asked him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he replied, “No,” they said, “All right, say ‘Shibboleth.’” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce the word correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.

I dreamt I was in a world-ending situation. Everything was being converted into snow. There was a spell that helped me see into a parallel universe. I was running from the evil. Found myself in some kind of restaurant. Memory corruption, I can't recover any more.
-
I dreamt I was driving to the airport by myself. The roads were significantly more angled than normal. When I got there I realized I didn't purchase a ticket, so I pulled up Google to start searching. For some reason the keyboard kept incorrectly auto-correcting the city name to something else. How hard is it to spell Phoenix and San Francisco international? Whatever. Prices were three times higher than normal (probably because last-minute ). Problem after problem.

I vaguely recall dreaming about 1-megaohm resistors. But I don't recall any other context or details.

I dreamed that I woke up and found that a corner of the fitted sheet had come loose (a relatively frequent occurrence in the past). This bothered me because I had just installed devices intended to prevent that from happening. Then, when I really woke up the bed was normal.
A recurring pattern for me is traveling:
- I'm usually late.
- The route is familiar, but new pieces keep getting installed in the middle/the distance stretches out.
- I have difficulty moving (keep falling down, car turns into a bicycle, route detours through a house with dead ends, etc).
- The dream usually ends before I arrive at my destination.

@tsaukpaetra I roll a lot in my sleep/going to sleep, so I tend to pull the sheets around quite a bit. Finally decided to do something about it. They're basically straps that you clip across the corners on the underside.

Last night, I dreamt that I was in a lecture theatre, listening about a talk on recent advancement in study of cancer treatment.
They found that the nature of cancer is a bit different from common perception. Cancer is, their team believes to be, how our body attempts to repair severe damage to organs.
If you played a famous PC game Command and Conquer, cancer is much like the process to packing the cells into "mobile construction vehicle". There will be an initiator cell, causing the cells near it to stop it's normal activity and reverse differentiate itself, flow into bloodstream and travel to the new destination, normalize itself with function of nearby cells and replicate itself if needed, and that severely damaged organ is regenerated. That's why if we remove the first colony with surgery, the other relocated cancer cells will grow out of control rapidly.
Now what's going wrong is the near last step - normalize itself with function of nearby cells. (Now thinking about it, the team in dream implies the cancer cells are potential stem cells here... :O ) They believe the genes responsible of correctly activate function for the replacement part is deactivated or lost in human, so it simply replicates the non-functioning cells and becomes "cancer" as we know today.
Their team is attempting to search for the "missing gene" for supporting this theory, but currently they advise people who have cancer also look for malfunction of other systems in their body. If their theory is proved to be correct, it would provide new opportunity for medical treatment for patients with various internal organ failure.

Had a dream where I was back in college, except they had put draconian parking regulations in place. 1hr max, parking passes validated by classes, etc. I was furious because I had classes back to back. The end.

A surprisingly deep and not wacky dream from me.
I dreamed I was married, and one day my wife came home and admitted she'd had an affair. I was very disappointed, but not angry, and wanted to do whatever we could to move past this, and she also claimed she wanted to patch things up. But she was too overtaken by guilt and quickly grew distant from me, even though I'd already forgiven her. For some reason, that was hard for her to accept. Not long after, she left home and said she wasn't coming back.
Later that night, I got a call from authorities saying they needed me on-site to identify a body. She'd jumped off a bridge to kill herself. While I was there and giving my side of the story to the police, the EMT's suddenly announced she had a heartbeat and was breathing again.
Then we were at a hospital, and she was asleep. I kept my distance because I wasn't sure what to do, or if she even wanted me there. But I was always nearby, just not in the room. I left her a note that said something along the lines of "I don't really understand what you're going through, but I love you and I'm here for you and want to help. All you have to do is ask for me and I'll be there."
Then, I was outside her room and talking about everything over the phone to a family member. It was either my mother or my sister, I'm not sure which. After I explained everything that happened, she finally asked me how I was handling things. I replied, "The hardest part about all of this is that I'm still there for her, but she's just too far from me to accept it."
Then I woke up, and about a minute later my alarm went off.

I had a dream last night that I was back at University and it was nearly exams. Except that I had missed off nearly all the modules from my timetable and simply hadn't attended any lectures or done any coursework. The rest of the dream was spent trying to log into the Uni's god-awful student portal and print a valid module list while panicking.
I haven't been at University for a decade.

@cursorkeys I still have dreams like that (or even about high school). I usually realize near the end "why am I doing this, I have a PhD!"
-
Two dreams, which I will not describe other than to say that both involved doing in public (or semi-public) things that are generally considered acceptable in private but socially and legally unacceptable in public.

@tsaukpaetra No. While neither dream was particularly unpleasant, they were also not that satisfying.

Humm... Sysprep-ed machine ready to clone? Except it won't travel to elsewhere by itself.
Or maybe a packed RV ready to go? Except that it won't modify it's function or generate new object according to the need of the destination.

I was in an office building, going down the hallway, looking for Brandon Sanderson's office. Eventually I found him, and asked him if I could interview him. He said sure, but not right now because he's really busy; could I come back in a couple hours? I was fine with that, but as I left, I remembered thinking, "that's strange, that didn't sound like his voice at all." But I didn't really follow up on that, because dream.
A few hours later, it was time to go back for the interview, but just as I was heading out, the world got invaded by aliens. And then I woke up.

Seeing this in Unread reminds me...
I had a dream a few days ago in which I quit my job because the diamond saws used for slicing wafers into individual chips were too slow. My job has nothing whatsoever to do with chip manufacturing, I've never even seen that sort of equipment, most of that processing is done in the Far East, and it makes no sense to quit over it rather than, I dunno, fixing it. But dream.

I dreamed I got up and went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and something about my face was just... wrong. After a bit of closer examination, I realized my teeth were in horrible shape, excessively decayed to the point that a few of them were falling out!
Then I noticed something strange, so I opened wide and saw a tiny Sonic and Tails running around my teeth destroying everything. So I used my toothbrush to swipe them out of my mouth, washed them down the sink, and suddenly my teeth were back to normal.

I was on some sort of combat training game. First round we were just using pistols. Next round they could use grenades. Next, then had on heavy armor. The next, I gave up and started sexing one, Duke Nukem style.

I dreamed I was an FBI agent sent to investigate a failed terrorist plot, and when I got there, I found out that the person who had somehow blundered into stopping it was... Napoleon Dynamite! Who of course was completely insufferable now that he had actually been the hero of a real adventure...

My son and I were flying to Europe together. I think we were just going as tourists; nevertheless, we had some kind of special role on the flight, like an Air Marshal or something, but not; I remember something about "CAP uniform." (I know that's not at all what CAP does, but dream.) For some reason, I board the plane before my son. Apparently, because of this special role, I can sit anywhere I want, not the seat assigned on my boarding pass, so I pick a seat at the front of the upper deck (747). I'm waiting for my son. And waiting. I walk around while I'm waiting. I walk around on the ground outside the plane. (At this point the plane is like a cartoon plane, short and stubby, much smaller than a real 747.) Finally I call my son. He's with his mother, and I can't get either of them to actually say where they are. His mother takes over the conversation, and keeps talking about some town in Arizona; I don't think that's where they are, but I can't figure out whether they're on their way there, or on their way back from there, or she want's to move there, or what. I keep trying to focus the conversation on the fact that plane is about to depart and he'll be left behind if he doesn't get on the plane within two minutes, and she just keeps talking about this town. Finally, my son suddenly teleports onto the plane, in view of other passengers, who've heard my phone conversation and cheer that he made it onto the plane in time. Several thoughts occur to me (and it's not entirely clear which of these were in-dream and which occurred after waking up and thinking about the dream, trying to remember it long enough to post it). First, relief that he's finally on the plane. Realization that he's bypassed security and passport control, there's no record of him boarding the plane or leaving the US, and this may cause difficulties on arrival in wherever we're going to (maybe Germany?; neither our destination nor reason for travelling are clearly defined). If he has the ability to teleport, why the heck are we paying money to fly? Finally, and I'm pretty sure this was after I woke up, the ability to teleport from one arbitrary location to another arbitrary location would render border control entirely ineffective, and pretty much make the whole concept of national borders moot. (Immigration thread is
.)

I keep having 2nd-repetition dreams. As in, I've dreamed that scenario before (or seen it in a movie/read it in a book/played through that game) and so I know how it needs to go. So I keep meddling, trying to choose the optimum conversation choices, pointing out the right path, etc. Basically speed-running (without the exploits) my dreams, while being in the dreams (not a separate player).
This is not lucid dreaming--I'm conscious in my dream that I've seen that scenario before, but I don't know it's a dream (it feels real). It's more like conscious deja vue or limited precognition.
I've had these patterns multiple times, but often I don't remember (when I wake) having actually seen/dreamed the scenario again. I'm dreaming of my second playthrough, having totally skipped the first one.

I'm a fucking changeling that just wanted to wash it's clothes. But no, had to get shoved on that train and to to grandpa's house. Mom gave me a massive toad. I carried it.
