Feel free to move this mods to wherever if it should go. In my dream last night, I dreamt that my city was being attacked by a huge monster (we’re talking Godzilla stylee here) and in the dream I remember saying to my friend, “Shall we go inside the buildings or try and run away from it?” And then I thought, "nah, don’t go inside the buildings 'cause the monster might knock the buildings done.
In the event of that situation or something similar happening, what would one do?
I would thank og that I had stocked up on duct tape and bottled water.
Nope. Compared to the dreams I’ve been having lately that’s about as weird as the postman delivering post in the morning.
Hey, I have dreams about giant monsters on a fairly regular basis! The last one I had involved Wonder Woman (TV Series style, with Lynda Carter in her prime stuffed into that colorful skintight outfit!) fighting an almost-Godzilla size creature
in a crowded Manhattan-type city! But I digress…
I always thought the best tactic would be to run to the side and then to the back
of the creature, avoiding the buildings, since they may have sustained damage enough to cause them to eventually fall down!
Which leads me to a question – since we are about ant-size to such a creature,
would he really notice humans all that much, or see them as significant enough to attack? I would think he would tend to concentrate on objects closer to his own size (the buildings!), unless he was actually being fired upon by humans. What do you guys think?
I was obsessed with Toho monster movies as a kid, taping them off of TV, collecting them, etc. To this day, I have “giant monster” dreams at least once a month. Bizarre!
In my dreams, it’s usually safe to remain in a building, as long as you’re not directly in the monster’s path and stay away from windows. I had one nightmare where I was in a skyscraper that was covered with windows, and I couldn’t find a hiding place where the monster (who was actively looking for me, peeking through the windows) would not see me.
In my dream, the monster was a HUUUUUGE female wearing black stuff with a cloak and a brimmed hat. She was being fired upon by helicopters and that’s how I noticed, because of a huge boom and then a roar. The roar is like a bear roar, very un-feminine.
Based on my experience playing both Rampage and Rampage World Tour, your best bet is to quickly put in another quarter.
i recall a dream i had similar to this; STAY OUT OF THE BUILDINGS! they will fall on you. The best bet is to try and scurry up the monsters back, and shoot or stab him in the eye. i think. Upcoming ps2 game Wanda and Collosus (ico2) features the main character facing off against scyscraper sized foes, if you want to test any theoritical courses of action…
How about just waking up instead?
Find three additional friends, and then the five of you combine your spaceships into a single mecha-warrior to duke it out with the monster.
General Questions is for questions that have a reasonable expectation of receiving a factual answer.
This one asks for opinions, and so off to IMHO.

If you’re talking about what to do inside your dream, that’s easy! Hell, you can do anything at all in your dreams. So fly (yes, fly!) over the beast and karate shop it from behind! Now, if you’re talking about what to do in “real life”. RUN! Take this from someone who has seen every Godzilla and Kong film, don’t hide in a building (remember what happened to Fay Wray!). RUN! No, not towards the monster. Run away from the big guy.
Yeah, I would fly if I could actually lucid dream…
