| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

I used to have loads of really weird complex dreams which I would put together into a world. The main city had flying frilled lizards that took the role of pigeons and giant flying penguins. North of there was a war zone where humans fought the chimera from resistance that rode giant coelurosaurs fhat took the role of tyrannosaurs and had high tech droids. West was a huge desert that giant kangaroos with elephant seal heads that were hunted by Tartarusautus. South was a mountain range surrounded by lowland mangroves inhabited by Giant carnivorous oviraptors, rock crocodiles, mammoth boars and giant amphibians that took the role of deer. I will add more later.. |

Not sure if this counts, but, I had a dream where I was exposed to a lizard, and literally my skin began to turn black, but, somehow, I was cured briefly, then it came back.

I had a dream a little while ago where I was in some neighborhood, and I was running in peoples' backyards. When I got to one of the yards, I had to climb the trees and jump from tree to tree so these creatures wouldn't attack me. In my dream I remember them looking like a mix between Jurassic Park raptors and a dog. This is about the best representation I could make of them.

Wow... Today I had a dream where I was being chased by a large dog-like animal. But it wasn't a dog, it was probably some hyaenodontid, and it was grey. |

Midwest, definitely. I usually don't dream, but when I do, I dream Dos Equis. Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyways, I try to make a note of strange creatures I remember from my dreams. I'll have to find the notebook that has my sketches in it. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

Last night I dreamed that I found a kind of snake called a lashtail snake. I was out in my yard in the summer looking for four-leafed clovers, which were unusually common, and frogs, which died when I looked at them for some reason, and then I found this lashtail snake. It was pink, with darker pink scales forming stripes down the back. On its head were a set of elongated scales that extended backwards in spikes that were almost like feathers. As I grabbed it, the snake started lashing its tail around, which is where the name comes from (apparently more specifically it is called a plumed lashtail snake, because of the feather-spikes, or also a whiptail snake). It also started thrashing its head around as an attempt to grab anything it could bite, so I grabbed it by the back of the neck to keep its head away from me. Then it expanded its throat like a frog, making a quiet croaking sound like a frog, and I worried that I might choke it accidentally, but I kept a hold on it and it was fine. I wanted to keep it because it was rare, but I didn't have a place for it to live in my house. I do believe I'll add it to my speculative hollow Earth bestiary.

I dreamt about someone exploring an alien world. Some of the aliens include: A raccoon like animal surrounded in a cage like growth, it could move the "cage" around prey to ensare it; and large sessile filter feeding organisms that stretched from the bottom of the ocean, all the way to the top, they could easily swallow a man whole, and some of the explorers were killed by them. Also, alot of the animal life on land lived mainly on the top of the mountainous lands, the shores and flatter areas were devoid of life. Also, a few days ago, I dreamt I found an old tank that had brine shrimp that somehow managed to stay full all that time, and was filled with grey worms covered in all kinds of appendages, and a few small red triops looking crustaceans.

Just last night, I dreamed for the first time in a while. Like usual my dreams came in threes, but it's the middle one that's of interest here. I dreamed of a world where the sky--a dark blue--was filled with these enormous (maybe 300 meters long) gasbags, which were light blue with a purple fringe across the top and around the side, somewhat resembling a Portuguese man-of-war. A large tail fin kept them stable, and many tentacles hung down from the bottom. The tentacles were apparently poisonous and constantly dripped a highly saline liquid, which fell to the ground and formed salt crystals. There was no multicellular life on the ground, which was rocky except for the crystals of salt that covered most of it. However, I knew that these salt crystals supported countless colonies of salt-metabolizing bacteria and archaea. Also in the sky were "blimplets", which were orange, cartoon-pig-like blimp-shaped creatures with orange bodies, diamond spikes down their sides, back, and top, large eyes, and a fish-like tail. In the dream I though they were a different airborne species (these were about three feet long), but upon waking, I've decided that they're actually a larval stage of the gasbags that lose their eyes as they grow. At one point I thought it was an alien planet, but one of the people in my psychology class (we're doing dream interpretation) said that it was probably a future Earth. |
