Lunar June 8th, 2020 9:58 AM

I'm almost certain I've had quite a few, but unfortunately not recently haha, they all seem to fade as well! But, I do vaguely remember several just about me being a trainer in the Pokemon world and having adventures etc, would really like to have some more actually!

icycatelf June 8th, 2020 5:40 PM

Yep, but mostly about the games or a "new generation." Very few in which Pokémon were real.

From an older post:
Spoiler:
  • I used to be scared of Electabuzz and dreamed that my Electabuzz keychain came to life and was chasing me.
  • Before building-up my IRL Mew collection, I remember dreaming that I got a bunch of different Mew cards (Lilyad Mew, Mew with bubbles, etc.), but all of them were in the style of Ancient Mew. (This might be a fun faking project someday.)
  • I used to have nightmares about bad things happening to my Pokémon games. In one, I found an Articuno in Red's overworld. When I "talked" to it, I got the following message: "Articuno ate all your Pokémon. Articuno ate your game!" and then my Game Boy exploded.
  • I also remember dreaming about encountering a Pokémon called Millingo in Red Version after finding a "secret switch" in the grass. IIRC, it looked like a mask that combined features of Entei and Brak from Space Ghost.
  • Prior to photographing Gyarados in Pokémon Snap, I dreamed exactly how to get it. (Oddly, this isn't the only time I've dreamed a solution to a video game.)
  • In some dreams, Pokémon were real. I remember having an "Umbreon" in one dream, though it looked more like a sickly dog with yellow spots. I also remember having a Dunsparce in one and both a normal and Shiny Persian in another. Not long ago, I had a rather apocalyptic dream that involved Him from The Powerpuff Girls wreaking havoc on the world with a Venusaur. In that dream, I remember finding a Pikachu (which later turned into a human girl) and catching a Pineco in a Poké Ball made from a walnut shell (Apricorn Balls?). Seems like I may have had Leafeon in another dream, but I may have been daydreaming that one. I've also dreamed of riding a Lugia.
  • I've dreamed that I was a Pokémon, once a Mew and once a Nincada. I can't remember if I was ever any others.
  • Imakuni? has appeared in my dreams a couple times. I think he stole the family cat in one.
  • I've dreamed of a new (fake) generation or game a few times. In one, there was a new anime opening that featured a plethora of new Pokémon, though the only ones I can recall were a Grass/Flying-type that looked like a falling leaf, a brown mammal Pokémon with similar anatomy to Oshawott and Pancham, a bird that rode other Pokémon and could talk, a Slowbro evolution that resembled a giant squid, and a dinosaur-like Legendary that reminded me of Lugia mixed with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh! In another, I was looking through a new Pokédex in a magazine that included two Dark/Fairy goblin Pokémon (one appearing mean and the other one more friendly), a very colorful/clownish walking stick, a new Ice-Type form or evolution of Omastar, a Dragon/Grass Legendary that appeared to be made of twisted wood or tree roots and had huge arms, and a cut-out paper dragon. Below is a short description of a new game I was playing in a dream, recorded in a DA journal some time ago:

    Spoiler:
    I wish I could've remembered more about it as soon as I woke up, but I couldn't remember it until now and have already forgotten a lot of details.

    The villains apparently had some kind of bone to pick with the Pokémon League, but when a natural disaster strikes, they are forced to choose between their ultimate goal or saving the world.

    The "Fly" screen sort of resembled Soaring from ORAS, though it didn't show the player and looked more like a classic NES take on 3D (kind of cheap and ugly-looking, but neat at the same time). It panned to the Pokémon League HQ, which looked like a simplified version of the Pokémon League building from ORAS, then panned out and showed a storm with swirling purple clouds off toward the ocean. It zoomed into that and a very detailed cutscene started. It was like the sky and ocean were fighting, with the sky blasting purple clouds at the ocean and the ocean blasting what looked like wind razors at the sky. Eventually, Lugia popped out of the ocean and the clouds parted to reveal Shadow Ho-Oh! O_O

  • I've dreamed about getting Shinies.

Can I personally thank you for sharing those dreams, they are hilarious and great lmao :)

Neon Pink June 10th, 2020 9:17 AM

Oh i'm sure most definitely. Too bad I forgot ALL the details of those dreams, but I know they were Pokemon related.

Fairy June 10th, 2020 10:39 AM

I’ve mostly dreamt about playing the games, not so much the Pokémon themselves. But I remember one very vivid dream where I was on a school bus and there was a Pikachu running along with it that I could see out the window, lol.

ZeoStar June 12th, 2020 2:05 AM

I don't recall the dreams but they've probably happened. If so, it's been a long time since I've dreamed anything related to Pokemon.

colours July 19th, 2020 2:27 PM

i'm deeply saddened that i sank over 800 hours in swsh and i've yet to have one dream about me being in a max raid battle. maybe it'll happen someday.

TepigLover101 July 19th, 2020 3:49 PM

Yea i legit did a few nights ago

Uecil July 20th, 2020 12:21 PM

Yes. I use to have them a lot, if I was watching the show or playing the games.
Usually it would be very brief moments with my Pokemon team or me travelling with them, or even about to battle. These would be very realistic and even the Pokemon would come out in a real depiction.

Tanya July 21st, 2020 9:54 PM

When I was a little kid, I did!!

I can't remember the exact details but sure I was catching Pokemon in my dream.
It was all too real not until my mom wake me up in the middle of my good dream :c

Spoiler:
Not just Pokemon..

I've dreamed of me being a fire bender and my hand was shooting fire. LOL

Roni July 22nd, 2020 2:58 AM

I think I dreamt once that a Gengar was haunting my house. Or at least it was a Gengar-like creature. Aside from that, nothing too coolio to talk about.

AkameTheBulbasaur August 2nd, 2020 2:46 PM

I think it was during the summer when I was in high school (probably in between 9th and 10th grade). I had spend pretty much all of my free time working on a ROM hack, so I ended up having a dream where I was in the town that I had been working on that day.

I remember talking to a few people and Pokemon, and then I remember I went to a landmark that I had put nearby because I wanted to find an Entei (because that location was centred around Entei).

I forgot if I actually did or not. I remember telling my Dad about it the next day, and he said, "Wow you've been working on that thing too much, haha."

I'm not surprised I dreamed about it because it was usually the last thing I did before going to bed.

--------------------

There was another dream that I had where I was in the Free Store (a recurring element in my dreams where you can get anything you want on the shelves for free, but you have to wait at the checkout counter while they scan everything - so if you take too much you wait for a really long time).

I saw these Pokemon cards, but they were only about 3/4 the size of normal Pokemon cards. They were called 'Poke-Minis'. I thought it was an odd thing to have. I remember when I woke up I ended up making some by printing out some sized-down card scans. I must have been 14 or 15.

Hyzenthlay August 2nd, 2020 11:03 PM

Am I the only one who never, ever has Pokémon dreams? :( It's such a shame! The one or two I did have were amazing. I just find it so weird because Pokémon is part of my everyday life and I used to write fan fics all the time; you'd think that give me lots of dreams!

RedDragonThunderzord December 10th, 2021 7:40 PM

I don't think I have, but since I don't remember a lot of my dreams, that's not saying much.

XNaut December 11th, 2021 1:09 PM

This dream I had was 3 years ago and I wrote this in my dream diary. In my dream I was Mewtwo and there was an evil gang team that were after legendary Pokemon. Me, and five other legendary Pokemon got caught and we were put in a big tank together. The gang leader wanted to absorb me completely till I become nothing. I was already weakened from getting attacked by them and when I saw the gang leader point a machine at me, I teleported and the machine started tracking me down.

100 years passed and people were talking about a Mewtwo that successfully escaped from an evil gang team and it was rumored that the machine is still tracking me down while I am weakened. No one knows where I am or if I am still alive.


Another dream I had was in my cereal box there was supposed to be a Pokemon toy inside. I digged inside my cereal box and I got a toy Jigglypuff. This also happened in real life in my cereal box a Pokemon toy was inside and I got Jigglypuff. What was amazing was the dream I had happened before I got the Jigglypuff toy out of the cereal box. I used to have dreams that eventually happen in real life and this dream was a good example.

LuminescentUmbreon December 12th, 2021 1:45 PM

I have a few times, the only dream I can vaguely remember though is walking around with an Eevee in my arms for some reason.

Mario60866 February 10th, 2022 6:40 PM

Oh definitely a ton, I've had dreams about swimming with Manaphy, dreams about cuddling Eevees, and even dreams about battling a Hero of Truth's Reshiram with my Zekrom.

Sprigatito April 28th, 2022 4:37 PM

The closest ever had was one that looked like black and white, but was completely unrelated to pokemon otherwise

Mintaka☆ April 28th, 2022 7:08 PM

I've had lots of dreams about Pokémon ever since I got full-time into it! Some of them I won't tell here, but there are a few I can spill the beans about.

First thing first, I have recurring nightmares about glitches in my games, or glitched Pokémon. The earliest I recall was encountering a glitch Pokémon called Cirilia, which looked like Sky Forme Shaymin with Jirachi's star-shaped head. I have also dreamed about a glitched Diancie in my Y game, about my Black 2 cartridge going kablooie and displaying Pokémon names as random strings of text (e.g. "A wild Fjejfhewfs [Wailmer] appeared!") and a messed-up version of the Kabu battle in Sw/Sh. Needless to say, considering the amount of glitch dreams I have, I always get uneasy when my games start remotely malfunctioning.

I also have recurring dreams about Pokémon plushies, which are usually happier ones than the above. It's usuallly about me getting a Pokémon plush from a crane at an arcade in my city (that doesn't exist in reality, or barely resembles its real-life counterpart). However, after getting my Mimikyu plush buddy... I started having dreams about having two Mimikyu plush buddies - the one I already have, and a new one that comes out of nowhere. For the latter, I blame a funny series of fics in AO3 where a Trainer accidentally adopts a second Mimikyu after mistaking it for her first.

Lastly, I have had dreams about the human characters as well. Those are the ones I refuse to tell here because of their rather... intimate nature, especially involving some of my husbandos favourites. The most recent one (from earlier today!), however, was rather tame. It was just Ingo wandering into a shop in his PLA get-up... plus a pair of round glasses not very unlike his monocle in his special costume in Masters. I went "almighty Sinnoh, as if you couldn't get any more handsome!" on sight, and he was receptive but also flustered. It was so cute!

RadEmpoleon April 28th, 2022 8:44 PM

I don't think I've ever had any Pokemon dreams, but if I did then they probably happened a long time ago.

ReKoil April 29th, 2022 8:11 AM

A few times. But who knows, I rarely recollect what I dreamt about after waking up so who knows what happened in 99,9% of dreams that I can't recall xD
I don't remember any recent ones though.

Jiggykoopbob April 29th, 2022 9:00 AM

Not too long ago, i once had a dream where i was playing Super Mario 64 DS and i was in Jolly Rodger Bay, There the creepy Eel in the second mission of that level was replaced by a beautiful Milotic, I managed to make Mario swim over to it and it noticed me to which is started to majestically swim around Mario. I didn't move Mario after that. It was so breath taking. Can't remember what happened after that.

I hope i'll never forgot that dream.

Devalue May 16th, 2022 5:53 PM

Yes. Tends to be based in the real world than in a Pokemon world, however. Recounts last night as an example. Saw a booster pack of Pokemon cards in a shop. Wanted to buy one out of curiosity. Asked $628 for one. Cited a bridge being out. Caused a shortage. Expected none in for months. (Sounds a lot like an excuse in a Pokemon world, honestly.)

Recalls another from a few weeks ago. Was out among people for some reason. Attracted the attention of someone desperate for conversation. Shot down several topics. Responded positively, if lackadaisically, to their suggestion of Pokemon. Launched into their idea for a new Pokemon game. Replaced wild encounters with lootboxes somehow.

Roni May 17th, 2022 3:50 AM

Recently had a nightmare about Beedrills and Minecraft bees banding together to continually sting me while I was at some random botanical garden just wanting to admire the plants :<

Also some random purple pus was seeping out of where they were stung me and it was sort of a nightmare from there.

over two years later and still haven't had a pokemon dream sobss

ZeoStar May 29th, 2022 9:40 AM

I had my first dream about Pokemon a few days ago. (that I can recall).

I dreamed that I caught a shiny Crobat.

Palamon May 31st, 2022 12:11 PM

I pretty much have Pokemon in my dreams in some way all the time. Mostly plushies, though. I haven't in awhile, honestly, it's been more about Genshin in the dream world for me as of late, aha. ^^;

Fact Checking Gardevoir June 2nd, 2022 11:35 AM

Why, yes! I once had a dream in which I was an Aerodactyl! Crazy, isn't it ? 😁

Mintaka☆ June 8th, 2022 8:25 AM

I had a nightmare about Volo last night. Under cut for PLA spoilers.

Spoiler:
It was a cloudy day, and I was walking along the neighborhood around which I lived as a kid (and attended school as a teen.) Said area now happens to be full of beerhouses, and some of them have tables put on decks which are parked on the street like cars. Anyway, I was walking around trying to get to the big department store there when I spotted Volo serving tables at one of such beerhouses. I was naturally flabbergasted; what the heck was he doing there? He was, on top of that, chatting with one of the customers and telling him he had a son he was looking forward to getting home to.

I was like, "bruuuuuh, you're like 150, isn't your son dead by this point"? Then it hit me what he was trying to do; he was distracting the customers with his chit-chat to pickpocket from them, and extremely fast too. Unfortunately, just as I was going to snitch on him, he, charming bastard that he is, saw me and greeted me as if we had been friends for a long time. His voice, may I add, sounded quite nasal too - something more fitting for Melli than for him.

I woke up right then, not knowing if I should stay awake or go back to sleep. The worst part is, it was just one of a grand total of THREE nightmares I had last night. The other one was about Star Wars and the last one was of my usual "electronic devices acting up" nightmares, but this was easily the most unsettling.

icycatelf June 9th, 2022 7:16 PM

I had another Pokémon dream last night. It was about a movie on the origins of Pokémon, and it was pretty unsettling for the most part. Not only were Pokémon feared in the past like we see in Legends Arceus, there was a point that they weren't even Pokémon. They were demons. From shadowy figures, gremlins, and ghouls. But before that, there were spirits that people actually got along with. It seems that something changed them...

Fast forward, we got to see a really cool and realistic CG scene of Ho-Oh and Lugia's evolution. The two shared a common ancestor that resembled a cross between Reshiram, Birdramon, and Curse of Dragon. The movie was starting to delve into Mewtwo's story shortly before I woke up. (The whole thing was probably leading up to the debunking of Mew being the ancestor of all Pokémon.)

I also seem to recall ancient "Poké Balls" being talismans and later ones being super hard-core and launched from a railgun.

Fairy June 10th, 2022 1:59 AM

Had a dream about Pokémon last night! Well.. the TCG anyway lol. Dreamt that the fiancé and I went to a concert and the outdoor venue was selling Pokémon boosters and singles. Not very exciting but I suppose it counts! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gravyard June 10th, 2022 8:45 AM

I dreamed of seeing a new trailer of Scarlet and Violet revealing more Pokémon, yet no final evolutions for the starters was at sight.

Angilaroy45 June 11th, 2022 2:59 AM

Indeed my fantasies about Pokemon will generally repeat, and have done since I was 10 I think. When they start, they don't necessarily in all cases pause and will generally give me desires of playing my numero uno adolescence Pokemon games, or watching the anime episodes 😆. It is so entertaining when I figure gracious I might dream about the characters regardless of whether they're in games, and it will in general work out.

icycatelf July 14th, 2022 4:30 PM

Had some more Pokémon-related dreams last night. My favorite was one where I had a Frosmoth and Mothim IRL. Can't really remember the premise of the dream, but Frosmoth loved to dance and Mothim was a shy Shiny boi. <3

In another, I was playing some kind of VR(?) where I was trying to catch Darkrai and somehow turned into a flying squirrel. Not an Emolga, just a regular flying squirrel. I also dreamed I was part of a team responsible for getting Dunsparce into the Isle of Armor DLC and that I found an Oshawott and Chimchar plush in a bucket when a little girl started crying. Maybe they were hers and she though I was going to take them? Woke up before I could figure it out.
