Is there like an actual statistical analysis on this or just anecdotal? Because I had Bionicle and never had a dream about it. Considering my age I'd imagine I'm due one by now.
I can confirm that as a bionicle fan, I have had such dreams on several occasions. Then again, I was completely obsessed with bionicles as a kid so that's probably why.
Nobody will see this but the scariest dream I ever had was about me and my group of friends being attacked by a bionicle in the garage we would hang out in. I was like 7 and had just seen (and loved) this one bionicle movie but my subconscious sure didn't.
I get dreams of finding items of 'nonspecific sentimentality' like I'll find a secret loft in my childhood home filled with boxes of old stuff that all feels like its my old stuff that I miss dearly but even in the dream I'll never be able to pinpoint any single item that belonged to me or that I actually miss, despite having a general feeling of nostalgia and like the childhood toy I loved is just in the next box.
It's honestly kind of creepy like some kind of sentiment/nostalgia angler fish.
I get the exact same dream sometimes. Often, the room in the house is one that never existed before. One time it was an attic loft accessed by a staircase that was hidden behind my childhood closet. The content is always the same though, just as you described - full of cool old stuff I feel nostalgic love for, whether it was actually mine at some point or not.
I wasn't ever a huge bionicle fan but this post kicked loose a memory of the little ball bionicles on Toys R Us shelves back when both of those were things
and now I have to go be sad that I am old and fat instead of small and cute, so thanks for that hah
But what is that? Two entirely non-fluff balls appear. Unfolding their bodies, one of them hits a little lever at his back, and his head rushes forward. Full of horror, you realize that they are bohrok; descending upon you to retrieve the golden mask of mata nui.
Closest I get is seeing cities burning as I watch over my work. I like those dreams. Better than the ones where my fucking teeth fall out or I get vivisected, or that one where I witnessed what I could be and boy did I not like those implications.
Okay cool, pretty sure I've seen your stuff Before.
Can you put (OC) or something that represents you made it next time? This post is technically breaking the rules, with no attribution. We had a great debacle at one point over attribution so I gotta enforce that rule sorry.
I don't get it.
There's a thing with people who grew up as fans of Bionicle having dreams where they see sets (either old or non-existent) on store shelves

Definitely anecdotal and played up as an inside joke in the community

Maybe that's more the case for people who never had one, but wished for it a lot
happens with me and ball jointed dolls. It actually came true today
Congrats, I guess 🎉

I very often dream I entered a store and it had tons of old forgotten tapes of bands I never heard of and old zines

You just think your visit to the backrooms was a dream, you actually got eaten by a mimic.

You and me both. I shall have to console myself by imagining us as fluffy bunnies lazing about together.
You are just cute balls of fluff now, eh?

Old and fat and cute. ^_^
I just had the Bionicle dream last night wtf

You motherfucker! >:V
@[email protected] gonna need a source for this.
For the comic? I made it; I'm also pencilcomics on Tumblr and Bluesky.
I'd say to edit the post to link back to your Tumblr and/or BSky then
I have an old Bionicle comic somewhere. I wish they would bring those back.
What is the term we should be looking up?
"Bionicle dream"
Okay cool, pretty sure I've seen your stuff Before.

Of course! My bad
Its all good, just doing my job. Keep up the quality comics!
Nice
Because they don’t make them anymore?
I have so many Bionicles
Yup—I've had this. A few times, actually. We really are living the same lives, huh? XD
^man, I wish they'd bring bionicle back ToT^
I have had dreams where I found old roleplaying supplements that never existed.
