{{quote|I am prepared to repeat that hundred times from the bottom of my hurting heart.|Chris, to Megan Schroeder, 12 March 2008}}


Nowadays, it is widely accepted that '''dreams''' can provide valuable insight into the mind of the dreamer. While they provide, at best, a warped reflection of what goes on in the unconscious mind, dreams are nevertheless made up of more than just random, meaningless images.
[[Chris]] has a tendency to '''repeat himself'''. He's famous for the use and overuse of his many [[CWC-isms]], new words or short phrases that he's made a regular part of his vocabulary, but over the years, [[trolls]] have also discovered that Chris often uses and re-uses longer canned sentences and sentiments, changing them only a little or not at all.


[[Chris]] adheres to a simpler, primitive belief in the significance of dreams. It's part and parcel of his religious mysticism - he believes his dreams are messages from God. Dreams, in Chris's mind, provide accurate portents of the future, and much of his strange behavior can be connected to his attempts to make these dreams into reality.
Working out the whys and wherefores of this behavior is more of a job for a psychiatric professional, but it could be another symptom of his [[autism]]. Just as autistics often retreat into routine, repetitive physical behaviors, Chris may keep a catalog of routine verbal statements -- when he comes up with a statement that works in a given situation, it's easier and safer to repeat that later on rather than come up with something new.


==Theory==
==Examples==
Chris has often claimed that his dreams represent communications from the divine. On [[IRC_(02_January_2009)|IRC]], when asked about his purpose in life, he explained it like so: "To eventually be married to my Sweetheart, then give birth and raise my daughter, as God has pointed it out for me in my dream." Likewise, when [[PandaHalo]] asked him why he wanted a daughter so bad, he said, "it was fortold to me in multiple dreams."
*When complaining about [[Bob Chandler|his father]], Chris often says that Bob "starts more arguments than there are flies at a garbage dump." This comparison debuted in an [[IRC (03 January 2009)|IRC chat]] from 3 January 2009, appeared again in another chat about [[IRC (20 January 2009)|two weeks later]], popped up once more in [[Mumble 1]] on 31 January, made another appearance in [[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.5]], and finally showed up some time later in the [[Father Call]].


During the [[Father Call]], when Matthew Devoria pointed out that his belief in prophetic dreams was both highly unlikely and potentially blasphemous, Chris was willing to back off from some of the weirder implications of his philosophy -- "I am not saying that I am a prophet," he admitted. However, he continued to cling to the belief that his dreams represent the future. "I'm not saying that it is the definite future," he explained, "but that it is a POSSIBLE future."
*In the [[Surfshack Tito Emails]], Chris first called Tito a "God Damn Trollin' Stupid Nigger," then upgraded the insult in a later message to "trolling stupid, pickle-suited NIGGER." He repeated the latter insult in the [[Chris Drops the N-Bomb]] video, where he again called Tito a "trollin' stupid pickle-suited nigger."


==Significant dreams==
*During [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8]], Chris first complains about Alec "killing characters left and right" in [[Fan:Sonichu Revolution|Sonichu Revolution]], and uses a similar "killing left and right" phrase later in the conversation.
Chris has discussed several of his more important or influential dreams in many of his comics, chats, and videos. There may be a great many more that he's never felt like sharing with the outside world, so this section is by no means comprehensive, but it should at least provide a basic overview of the sort of prophecies Chris believes that he receives.


===The Crystal dream===
*After [[Clyde Cash]] and [[BlueSpike]] forced Chris to, among other things, announce that he was gay and that [[BILLY MAYS]] was the new mayor of CWCville, Chris walked back those statements on several occasions. When doing so, he seemed to make a point of saying that he was not just lying, but lying "out his ass," in his [[CWC Update 1 July 2009|1 July 2009 Captain's Log]], in the [[Chris-chan Discusses...]] interview, in the [[Chris Destroys His Vibrator|vibrator destruction video]], and in the [[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]].
By far the most significant of Chris's dreams is this one, where he saw himself married to an unspecified woman and raising a daughter named [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]]. This represents the genesis of his [[Love Quest]], or at any rate his favorite excuse. When he's not willing to admit that what he really wants is [[china|pussy]], Chris claims that his search for a sweetheart is intended to fulfill God's will and produce his prophesied daughter.


{{quote|You see, I have a dream, I have my dream, and that dream is to give birth, to have, to share a daughter with my wife-to-be, and her name would be Crystal.|Chris, during the Father Call}}
*When Chris wants to get a point across, he often tells the listener to "get it through your skull." This is usually embellished with insults and profanities, like "get it through your damn fucking skull" (in [[CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!]]) or "get that through your stupid skull" (in the [[Kacey and Liquid Call]]).


Chris, always one to share too much personal information during conversations with strangers, sometimes brings up the Crystal dream while introducing himself to people. In one of his [[Facebook_messages#Christy_Backe|Facebook conversations]], he sent a new contact the following question: "Do you know any 18-25-year old single women who might like me? I would appreciate any help I can get in finding the one who would be my Sweetheart, and help me realize my dream of me fathering a pretty daughter named Crystal Weston Chandler."
*In [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE]], Chris characterizes homosexuals as those who "stray away from the straight path." A similar construction appears in his e-mails with Megan Schroeder, where he talks about his fear of "falling off the straight path."
 
Some of Chris's discussions of the Crystal dream contradict each other on one key point. In earlier conversations, he's claimed that the dream took place when he was around 21 years old. During the Father Call, however, he very clearly stated that he had the dream when he was in elementary school, between seven and nine years old.
 
===The Blanca dream===
During the late summer and early fall of [[2008]], Chris wildly ping-ponged back and forth between a number of potential [[trolls|sweethearts]], including [[PandaHalo]], [[Sarah Jackson]], and [[Blanca Weiss]]. On September 29, however, he finally settled on Blanca, having supposedly experienced a dream where he met her in the lobby of a [[Charlottesville]] hotel.
 
Chris describes the dream in some detail in his [[Blanca_Emails,_September_2008#Chris_dreams_of_Blanca|e-mails to Blanca]], as well as the [[Chris's letter to Blanca|letter]] he sent to her along with his medallions.
 
{{quote|I FINALLY HAD my Dream that I have been waiting for for soo long; the dream revealing the name of my Sweetheart-to-be. the scenario was simply, after talking to her over the internet, I went to the local Hotel to meet her, and her name came up Often, and was Burned into my Memory and my Heart...SHE is YOU. :) YOU, Blanca Weiss, ARE MY SWEETHEART-TO-BE! |Chris, falling for it on a number of levels.}}
 
He also mentioned the dream on his [[The_OFFICIAL_Sonichu_%26_Rosechu_Blog|blog]], claiming that "God and Jesus have revealed to me the name of my True, Honest Sweetheart-To-Be." Three weeks later, the object of Chris's divinely-inspired love dumped him.
 
===The PandaHalo dream===
Although breaking up with Blanca temporarily sent Chris [[Captain's_Log,_Stardate_October_21st,_2008|crashing into slumber]], he recovered from the trauma quickly enough with the aid of his dear friend PandaHalo. By mid-November, he was having wet dreams about her and sharing the details on IRC:
 
{{quote|During my most recent dream, You were in it. You were alone in your apartment; I had just run in to see you. We talked for a bit, but then you and I, we made out, then got naked and lost our virgin ways to each other. It got soo goodly hot and wild, that I came in my sleep over you.|Chris, traumatizing a chatroom full of trolls.}}
 
If this particular dream also happened to be a prophecy, GodJesus must have gotten his wires crossed. Chris never met Panda in person, and had more or less gotten over her long before she allegedly died early in 2009.
 
==Minor dreams==
===High school dreams===
During his date with [[Emily]], Chris mentioned recurring dreams about his days at [[Manchester High School]]. Given that his high school days were the last time Chris had anything like real friends or a fulfilling social life, it's no surprise that he often revisits them in his dreams. He describes the dreams in a very wistful, nostalgic tone: "I get to see all my- all my old s- c- all my old friends... there."
 
Chris also added that Megan Schroeder sometimes appears in his dreams of high school, even though he didn't meet her until well after he graduated and returned home to [[Ruckersville]]. Clearly, his unconscious mind is cobbling together an amalgam of all his fondest memories.
 
===The Pamela dream===
During his chats with (someone he believed to be) [[Vanessa Hudgens]], Chris cited a dream that taught him a useful moral lesson. Supposedly, during the long months of the [[Megan Saga]], Chris had a dream where he "had to choose" between his TRUE and HONEST love for Megan Schroeder and his temporary lust for TV star Pamela Anderson. "I stuck by my morals and went for Megan," Chris explained. "And because the same is being applied between you and [[Ivy]], I am going to remain strong and true and stay with Ivy."
 
Given that he never got any from Megan, of course, in retrospect the sensible choice would have been to go for Pamela. Here's to the path not taken.

“ I am prepared to repeat that hundred times from the bottom of my hurting heart. ”
Chris, to Megan Schroeder, 12 March 2008

Chris has a tendency to repeat himself. He's famous for the use and overuse of his many CWC-isms, new words or short phrases that he's made a regular part of his vocabulary, but over the years, trolls have also discovered that Chris often uses and re-uses longer canned sentences and sentiments, changing them only a little or not at all.

Working out the whys and wherefores of this behavior is more of a job for a psychiatric professional, but it could be another symptom of his autism. Just as autistics often retreat into routine, repetitive physical behaviors, Chris may keep a catalog of routine verbal statements -- when he comes up with a statement that works in a given situation, it's easier and safer to repeat that later on rather than come up with something new.

Examples

  • When complaining about his father, Chris often says that Bob "starts more arguments than there are flies at a garbage dump." This comparison debuted in an IRC chat from 3 January 2009, appeared again in another chat about two weeks later, popped up once more in Mumble 1 on 31 January, made another appearance in BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.5, and finally showed up some time later in the Father Call.
  • In the Surfshack Tito Emails, Chris first called Tito a "God Damn Trollin' Stupid Nigger," then upgraded the insult in a later message to "trolling stupid, pickle-suited NIGGER." He repeated the latter insult in the Chris Drops the N-Bomb video, where he again called Tito a "trollin' stupid pickle-suited nigger."
  • When Chris wants to get a point across, he often tells the listener to "get it through your skull." This is usually embellished with insults and profanities, like "get it through your damn fucking skull" (in CHRIS!!! CHANDLER!!!) or "get that through your stupid skull" (in the Kacey and Liquid Call).
  • In Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE, Chris characterizes homosexuals as those who "stray away from the straight path." A similar construction appears in his e-mails with Megan Schroeder, where he talks about his fear of "falling off the straight path."
