These dreams were written down the moment I woke up and turned on my computer, otherwise I would not have been able to record nearly as much.
I still have the F.E.A.R. entry,

I had not updated for a while but today I thought my nightmares were worth recording. If there are any spelling errors or anything, I woke up at six in the morning and had foregone putting on my clothes in favor of chronicling the horrors in my sleep.

Wait a minute... DREAM LOGS?
You are totally the first and only person to think of this. I'm not even joking. Except that I am.
Today I had a dream where I was playing a game that was a lot like Total Annihilation.
It started out with a small base with some basic robot types, the infantry type building could create four types of units, which were something like worker/engineer, explorer, soldier, and something else (maybe researcher or soemthing.) A key difference here was that instead of mining ore deposits within the earth you would mine out of the walls which would reveal more of the map (kind of like Dungeon Keeper), maybe we were fighting inside some enormous caverns, as the map certainly looked very rocky and barren. As I expanded my humble outpost into the great unknown it was inevitable that I would find adversaries, who immediatly started killing my poor defenseless dudes. I quickly built up some military units who guarded the pass through which the enemy lurked. Although it took a long time I eventually built up an enormous army (I think something else might have also been happening but I don't remember), within my ranks were not only basic footsoldiers but also attack cycles, missle tanks, and mechs.
The AI for the game was rather weak as my soldiers stood there like common mooks, waiting for the enemy to come close and then only attacking if they were very close to them (or were attacked by them), I recall fixing this problem by going into a diplomacy menu and switching my stance with my opponent from to something like 'enemy' to 'war'. Once this was done my army marched forth upon the enemy, as though they were merely waiting for my order to attack in force.
The Enemy Commander (who was a building-sized spider-like mech) was sighted and somebody in my army had the brilliant idea of suggesting we drop a nuke on him. It was brilliant, in fact the nuke was even a homing nuke, but I underestimated the power of a nuke. I should have ordered my army to retreat from the blast radius, but I didn't (I think I wanted to charge the enemy base after their defenses were obliterated) and thus they were all destroyed spectacularly. As I attempted to rebuild my army I woke up. In retrospect nuking the enemy commander was not overkill, commanders in TA were the some of the strongest units in the game with their high health and firepower, but more importantly destroying them caused a nuclear explosion anyway. There was more to this dream but I forgot it because I always seem to concentrate on the last part.
Cool dream though.
...Then again maybe I was playing Supreme Commander at that time. Hard to remember.
I had dream where I was in a city, an enormous city made of subways and highways with a colossal megastructure as the center. My friends and family were there with me. I recall there being a rather futuristic police force looking something like those guys from Fifth Element and being part of it, we carried guns that had long antennas on them, which we had to use to puch buttons for some reason. The antennas could be retracted and made funny noises when all the police officers surrounded some kind of box and all the antennas bounced around. The subway trains were completely empty inside and all the front windows were broken. One of my friends said that jumping through the window would allow you to do something impossible, I think that something was shapeshifting but I don't remember exactly. The only name I can recall pertaining to the entire place was "The Empire." but I believe there was more. Many people were walking on the (elevated) streets, all of them obviously very busy.
The megastructure I mentioned contained many towns inside it, the towns themselves were as though they were in another dimension, as once inside all traces of the enormous, gray city were gone. There was a town called Afternoon, where it was a perpetual warm summer afternoon, with vibrant colors all around and fountains and pools. I remember it being very warm and I remember a large building, maybe a hotel or mansion. The people here were all relaxing and playing and stuff. I also remember the dream ending here, a swarm of something that looked like flying fly-sized fish attacked us by one of the pools and I woke up. I think there was a town called Sunset, I don't remember what it was like but it implies that all the towns had theme names around a single occasion in time, I would not be surprised if there was a town for the each of the holidays and the rest of the times of day.

The second was a dream likely inspired by my playing of Total Annihilation at the time.
The third was without doubt inspired by F.E.A.R.
Still care to see?

They used to be about small spaces filled with bugs. Now they're about school and, judging by the dream I had last night, some really sick ****.
