Only for people who are racist, I guess. Usually when people say Asian they're referring to somebody from *any* country in East Asia (West Asia doesn't exist in common conversation)

No blockbusters... I can't figure out why I dreamed of an asian lady/asian place. And yes, Asian just means anyone from the regions of China, Japan, Korea, etc. Don't think it is racist around here...
Edit: it is about the same as saying European for anyone in Europe. Eurasian, I was taught, means any country in the entire European or Asian continent, since it is actually one continent. That is why I was confused earlier about what you meant by a Eurasia.

I had one of the coolest dreams today. Some time ago somebody asked if you enoy dreams while you dream. Yes, I defnitely do. And it wasn't even a sexual dream.
It began with me playing Assassin's Creed. And I've never even played the game in real life nor watched let's plays of it, so there's that. There was no fighting or anything, just the main character (whom I was seeing from third person view) was going through some caves while solving puzzles, which, for some reason, used these long shelves that came out of the ground. Lol.
Then, I was sort of playing Tomb Raider. I even heard Kurt's (kurtjmac on Youtube check him out) commentary over it. Altough I was controlling a dude, an not Lara Croft. I also made excessive use of my nunchaku. After I got to wherever this storage of glass, which was apparently where I had to break into, I picked up some guns and started shooting the guards. It was kinda weird. The guards looked like low-resolution game sprites and were shooting so slow I could dodge the bullets while they were going through the air. I remember noticing three bullets right after each other shot by just one guard, wo which I responded "hmm, so there's probably 3 guards in that same spot". There were just 5 guards in total. Throughout the fight I was ducking under some shit. The fight began after some guy - who I thought was also a guard walked into that huge hall and started shooting.
Then I met up with my friends, who were there with me for some reason. We cleared the area of the rest of the guards together. They were dropping this ammo that looked like vodka bottles. Just like ammo in some games. It floated on the ground and also rotated on axis. And was untangible. You could pick it up without using your hands, or even noticing. I remember identifying only one of my classmates, which is the one that drinks, like, a lot.
Then we started shattering the glass. It was so much fun. I really felt like I was doing something good. I could break huge glass cups with my bare hands wuthout getting hurt.
Then the police broke in. We started running away. We got split up and only one of my friends, whom I didn't really remember from that glass room, was running with me. We ran slow when passing by strangers, but when nobody was around, I yelled "full transvestite power!" (WTF?!) and ran faster. I remember jumping on some cars and trucks along the way in an awesome fashion. Also, the previous day, in real life, I remember haivng a random thought to jump on top of a car. It was also weird how we were running through a neighbourhood that looked like nothing I've seen in real life. I mean, it looked normal, houses and stuff, but I've never been there irl. As the police cars approached, I hid inside this block of flats. It was when I kinda got out of my body (all that was in 1st person view) and started getting out of that hall in the same Tomb Raider style as before. As it usually is in Tomb Raider when you go back through places you've been, there's shortcuts. One of them was going through a toilet. I got deeper and deeper within the sewers, and then the surroundings started looking totally like Skyrim. I saw a body of some Draugr (Skyrim zombie) and searched it for loot. I found some pretty sweet necklaces and stuff (also, I had the option to take the actual body of the Draugr, which you can't do in the actual game) so I wanted to keep it. Then the gmae I was *playing* switched to Heroes of Might and Magic. And my dad was with me, altough not physically. I could talk to him and stuff, but couldn't see him anywhere. I wanted to give him the loot I found, but he kept saying he doesn't have the place in teh inventory for him. I checked out the armor he had on his character, and it was something like "Boots of a Blue Rabbi", "Hat of Isobel" (which instantly reminded me of Isobel the Sorceress, you know, from the forum) and a "Chestplate of a Necromancer" or something like that. He also showed me that this thing I found works exactly the same as the thing he already has - I forgot its name, but it, like, repelled undead from your castle or something. Necro Night Wall or something like that was its name. I also saw this pretty sweet art piece of his city, which I vaguely remember.
Then the dream ended.
So cool.

That's not what was said. He said "I think for people in your area Asian=Chinese" which is not true because people who aren't from China are still Asian.

It's not racisism,it's generalizing,eg.we say we google something,even though we don't nessasarily mean we search something exclusively using Google.A bit like a generic nickname.
Anyways,I had some dreams which are weird:
1.I was in a clearing in a forest.There was wild grass growing in the clearing,and also an electric pylon.I was in the dream for what felt like several hours,looking around for an escape.Finally,I saw a door in the ground,and entered.I was in a rectangular room(like the basement)and I walked into a tunnel.And then I couldn't remember what happened next.
(Throughout the whole dream,I had M83's Wait as a earworm,which added to my sense of hopelessness)
2.I was in a dimly lit room,and I could hear the sound of liquids dripping,a bit like a leaky tap.I found a light switch,and turned it on.Then I saw there was a whiteboard n the room,and that the room looked like a typical office-style room(pendaflour lights,white walls,whiteboard etc.)except the room was covered in blue ink,like somebody wrote an entire composition and used the room as paper.I looked up and saw the lights and ceiling were also scrawled with blue ink,and some of it was dripping onto the floor.In one corner of the room I saw a body,and the body's face was covered with a piece of paper which had some words on it.After that I turned to the door,and walked away.
3.I was in a cylindrical room and a blue bionicle(it seemed more apt to call it that)gave me a bright red piece of fabric. I said I had no use for it,when she gave me a lightsaber(?).I suddenly realized I was a bionicle myself,and I had to get out of here.Then I had and interesting idea.I willed a pencil and paper into existence,and tried to draw my dreams.She asked me what I was doing,I told her I was good at drawing in the real world,so maybe I'm good at drawing here too.So I drew my dreams before,and this one.Then I heard my digital watch chime the time.She told me it's 10am,and I had to wake up fast.I tried to wake up,but I couldn't.Obviously,it wasn't that easy,so I had 2 options;Someone wakes me up(and my parents will be mad at me),or I wake myself up the "proper" way.She told me to wake myself up,I had to put this metal plate onto this rectangular thingy(funny in my dream I don't know what a cipher plate is or root-system portals are),and then much later,I ended up in this bare spherical room.I could hear the sound of my mom's car engine and knew I had to get out FAST.In desperation,I pressed a small grey button I never noticed before,and woke up.

I had a dream,but I don't remember what I saw.But I do remember what I heard:In the dream,every song I heard on the radio in the last few days became a earworm one at a time.That felt terrible.
The other thing I heard was the sound of the inner workings of a watch.
(I wonder if everyone's dreams are this ambience rich,because most of mine are(if the don't have a music video feel to them))
