You're not a real CM player if you don't have CM dreams

I’m playing CO. It’s actually a 1st person CM IRL. It’s not a map I recognize. I left Charlie at a different level to scoop it up. Alpha and Delta are told to hold the same facility which is some kind of a bar. I go scout around further alone. By the next building, there are a few guns lying around, so it seems like someone got napped from there. Since I’m alone I decide that I need to get out of there…

But after falling back I notice that while panicking I removed my armor and dropped everything, including the rifle, belt, pouches with the pistol and the tablet. So I’m embarrassed to just go back and order a squad to back me up.

I decide that I’m going to go back there alone again. After sneaking in, I pick up some of the stuff, but have to carry it in my hands. Then a drone jumps out from the second story of that other building. I know that it’s a drone, but it actually looks like a random woman. I pull out my pistol and start shooting, but the pistol I have is one of those extremely small caliber ones and it does no damage. The drone tries to tackle me and I have to run away.

I start running back to where the other marines are, while the drone keeps trying to tackle… I pull out my boot knife…

Alpha and Delta squads along with plenty of civilians partying in that bar are watching near-naked CO fight a random woman in the street and then try to stab her with a knife while incoherently screaming that she’s a xenomorph…

That moment when you suck as a CO even in your dreams.

P. S. Had CM dreams a couple of times before, but this one was too funny to not write down.

This is what happens when you don’t get enough night sleep for a few nights, while also probably playing too much CM.

I have CM dreams and I am not ashamed. Usually I get PBed in my dreams though.

Yeah-yeah, it’s already there to the point that I’ve running an underground resistance movement aiming to bring it back for a few years already. Also, we’re taking in new members. Fax your application to 1-800-CONGA.

But that colony was more like Chances look-wise, but also had whooping 3 z-levels. Charlie was on the second one, while the other squads went lower…

In my dreams I’m on the cold damp floor, surrounded by 9 prime KOBA berserker ravs, who them proceed to cut off each of my limbs while I scream and beg for them to stop, and then a prime empress reveals themselves, they all back off from my nuggetified body and I breath a sigh of relief, but then my mouse hovers over her and it turns out it’s Prime Empress KOBA, and she laughs and begins slowly lifting me into the air, wrenching my corpse apart and then I wake up, log onto CM and then it happens to me in game and I go to sleep and then the cycle repeats itself

I try to sleep but all I can hear are queen screeches and the sound of OB’s overhead.

CM is not real and is not your sleep paralysis demon.

Today I had a nightmare where xenos got Queen’s beacon back, so the Queen remote weeded the beach behind marines (the map was LV) and teleported everyone including like 6 ravs there, marines never stood a chance.

I had an aliens dread the other night. I got facehugger but it was just a prank so I was okay.

I think that’s other Aliens adjacent projects doing it to me though, not necessarily CM.
