I dreamt I was in a prequel to the Final Fantasy saga and it was just your typical medieval setting. This was partially brought on because I was going to play Crusades with ACD's b/f but I havent gotten around to it yet. Anyways, it featured beautiful auto-mapping as well as first or 3rd person play. I was figuring the controls out as I went and figured out how to open a treasure chest. Eventually I acquired two henchmen and went into first person mode. There was a guy who was throwing arrows at people but he could not attack through a sheet that was hung at eye-level to him over a railing. I thought it was funny (at this point I knew I was dreaming) because most times in games an enemy can't attack through a wall, but this was just a sheet - the equivalent of a bush - and I could see him, he could see me, but he had to wait until I walked in front of the stable he was in because that would allow him a clear opportunity of attack; also coupled with the fact that the AI was supposed to be real-human level. Just made me laugh.
Not familiar with game controls or cosplay. However, the part which you say was unique was when he could not attack through a sheet. A wall is considered firm and impenetrable. A sheet however, isn't. A sheet could be seen as transparent and would make anyone vulnerable except to hide their identity. So, question is why he wasn't able to penetrate a sheet but only when you were out in the open. Maybe there's a sense that who you are not being perceived by someone who knows you. Unless you tell them who you are, you will be like a mystery to them. It could also mean that no one can hurt or harm you unless you reveal yourself to them. In other words, you are in control, and hold the power in your relationships with people. They don't see things you don't want them to see. They only see when you want them see and how you want to be seen. They are clueless otherwise.
But the dreams are usually very similar, and the people coming after me look the same. I am usually in a house that isn't mine, and something usually goes wrong with the house in some way. Last time it was set on fire and I was stuck on the roof. A dream before that I fell through the attic ceiling.
Sounds like a dream about being out of control, since it's not your own home. It's like you're on someone else's turf or having your sense of stability or certainty constantly undermined (fell through ceiling). There's a sense that things keep changing and you feel almost as if you escaping tricky situations.
The tidal wave dreams are all quite different. Once I was in a beach house looking right out at the shore, watching a huge wave come closer and closer until it hit the house. I woke up when the water hit. Another dream I was in a forest and suddenly a wave came over the trees and engulfed everything.
Same like the other dream, there's a sense that you're being overwhelmed, or overtaken and feel powerless to escape or protect yourself. You may feel as if you've lost control of what's going on and can't escape. Maybe next time you have the dream, consciously try to build a fort or dome to protect yourself from the oncoming waves.
This is going to sound out of place but a week or so before the tsunami hit in Indonesia
I dream of being in buildings close to the ocean and where waves began to overtake everything eroding the foundations. I personally was scrambling to get to higher ground. I never had dreams like this before it happened, I had one or two after it happened both seemed to correlate with lesser similar events.
I think there is more going on in this world than we known and I think dreams sometimes give us insight into things like this. But maybe I just speculating a little too far. Besides even if I am right and people can have glimpses of the future either dreaming or not,
its not like it helps anyone in any great way.
Also just looked this up.

I didn't look at the link before I posted my interpretation. So, yeah, sounds similar to Jill's dream in that tides and waves overtaking suggest lost of control, or a sense of powerlessness. Unhinging foundations can also suggest some aspect of life where things are topsy turvy, and overturned expectations. Things are moving in a completely different direction than they were before. Waves overtaking everything means, possibly your world turning upside down and going in a vastly different path then you originally thought or planned. Maybe there's a sense that things need to be overturned or destroyed to make way for something new and better.
I have had a lot of very unpleasant nightmares the last few months. In most of them I am trapped in a small space and being constricted. Sometimes I am physically held down. In others, there's too much space and I am too alone. Does that mean something, have you dreamt something similar to that?
Small spaces usually mean claustrophobia in terms of circumstances. Perhaps you may be feeling as if your current circumstances are limiting at the moment and making it difficult to really pursue the direction you really want to take. In the ones where there's too much space and feel alone, may suggest that having support is important. You want freedom but you also want to feel a sense of belonging. You want to feel connected and too much space implies loose or no attachments or commitments.
