Your Dreams

[mono]

I usually do not report my dreams here, but I had a particularly strange one last night.
I dreamt that I worked as some sort of biologist, observing the nature of large turtles, though these did not appear as average-sized turtles, but very large (like dinosaurs), and they had horns.
Peter Jennings (http://www.abcnewsstore.com/store/customer/images/products/images/jennings_50636_42_pre.jpg), of all people (a very honored television reporter recently deceased), stood next to me, while we watched two very large male turtles battle with their horns. One of them broke one of their horns, dove into the ocean nearby; Peter Jennings and I got into a very small submarine and followed it. From there, the dream got very depressing; Jennings, allegedly quoting me from another time, reported to his camera that all giant turtles who lost a battle would sink themselves to the bottom of the ocean until the immense water pressure would take their lives (I should mention that I rarely, to never, speak in my own dreams). We followed deeper and deeper into the ocean, until we could no longer see the turtle, because of a lack of daylight.
After that, we surfaced on some nearby sandbank on a river that I know, no where near the ocean, and paddled our way back to a nearby shore.
Strange, eh?

i don't usually remember my dreams and i almost never dream of people i know.
but there was a span of several years where i had pretty much the same dream a couple of times a week. i know where it came from because i remember being very small and sitting in the front seat of the car. the man who raised me forgot to brake the car, he was upset or something and i started down the road. he ran and reopened the door and stopped the car.
but in this dream i was the one at the wheel and suddenly forgot how to stop the car and i was careening down a steep bank. i couldn't remember which was the brake and which was the gas pedal.
then years later i was sitting in the car with my first born beside me. we were just relaxing and i let him sit in the front while we waited for someone. i was very pregnant with my middle child. suddenly baby travis reached over and somehow started the car and i was totally unprepared. we started down this steep hill we were on and worst of all there was about a ten foot drop because the road h ad been dug up and the men put those little cones about it. i remembered my dream, totally froze, forgot which pedal was which and about three feet from the drop off i pulled myself together and stopped the car. i held my son and shook a little. never had that dream again.

"youth is wasted on the young" i have no clue who said that.

[querida]

Wow, Rachel ... trippy story


"youth is wasted on the young" i have no clue who said that.

George Bernard Shaw is the one that said “what a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.”

I really like that quote.

I almost always dream of people I know and almost always of the next day.... like say tomorrow I have a project to do for school; my dream would be that I forgot my papers, or just forgot to do it totally, or get there late when the plan was to get there early and work on it there.... basically the worst case scenario of the day to come. You can imagine the relief I feel when I realize that I dreamt it all.

[Taliesin]

We had a sort of a lucid dream lately.


But actually the contest of the dream was so pleasant - us and a familiar person were talking about speculatice fiction and passing time in a beautiful location. we understood that it was a dream, but thought that it was good enough- why spoil it?
And then soon we forgot that it was a dream and then a Game Master went by and shouted at us for talking Out-of-game and then we had to leave and then the geography got really mixed up and a house was totally at the wrong direction and confusion.
Don't remember what happened after that, but:
In the end we gaped our mouth in the dream really wide and the same with the eyes - it was hard, but they also opened our eyes out-of-dream. We guess that we did it on purpose but we didn't know that it was a dream.

[papayahed]

I had a dream that there was a rat in the house (it wasn't my house), his name might have been Ben, I dunno. Anways, I was weirded out that there was a rat in the house but noone else seemed to care. I opened the front door and the rat started to run out really fast but stopped on the porch just before it got to the steps. I tried to shoo the rat off the porch then the rat turned into a dog.

[underground]

i had a very strange dream last night. i was walking down the street when i ran into a white goat and it became my pet. someone told me that as the owner, i had the right to change it to whatever i wanted. so i molded the goat, but before i was done, it melted. i was freaking out thinking i had killed it, but that same someone told me i had to finish molding the goat into the shape i wanted and it would come to life once again. it felt disgusting to touch that, but with the help of mind i ended up with a camel with horns sticking out of its hump. then the goat/camel approached me, and it was freaking me out because those horns looked like they could kill me (and after all i'd done, i didn't see why that goat/camel thing wouldn't try to kill me).

it was creeping me out so bad.

this is why i don't like cloned animals.

[Kaltrina]

I had a really weird dream at 6 o'clock this morning. I was dreaming that it was still night and I was in my bed when suddenly the door of the room opened and my boyfriend came in. he came to see me because he missed me and I was happy of course. I hugged him and we talked and then I felt as if was the afternoon and all the house was full of my family and cousins. I didn't want them to see him because I knew they were going to ask me stupid questions and stuff, so we stayed in the room but then my young cousin came in and saw him and ran to the other room to tell everyone that my boyfriend was there. then my aunt came and with some critics in her eyes I introduced her to my bf. then all the family came and introduced themselves to him. we were all staying in the room when my uncle started teasing my bf and my bf felt so bad, and one of my cousins sat on his lap as if he hadn't seen him and my bf was forced to sit somewhere else and when I looked at him he was pretending to do something with his phone while he was trying to hide a tear he had shed, and I felt awfully bad. I went to him I gave him my hand and he stood up and followed me outside. while I went out I whispered some bad words to my family but they all heard me of course... we went out and it is strange because we went in the lobby of the building I used to live in 6 years ago...I hugged my bf and apologised to him many times. that's when I woke up with an awful feeling. :(

[rachel]

kaltrina,
i know that awful feeling and sometimes it can come back unbidden for a long time after. do you think you have some hidden worries since your dream seemed rather logical and didn't turn into anything totall wierd and unrelated as it went along.

[Kaltrina]

yes I do have worries how members of my family, I mean uncles and aunts will receive my bf into the family... and I guess it was some kind of a sign because I had a quarrel with my bf the next day... :(

[Nightshade]

I had a wierd dream I was trying to sgte ready for the start of nex years uni so I called the uni and I get the secratry from my school ( who is hopless at dilevering mesags) so I say never mind Ill just come in and look so I go to talk to the person in charge ofthe course who turns out to be my old psychology/form teacher and as usal shes piling all the hom,ework and thigs you have to do on and then I leave and as Im walking past reception there is this computer screen thats turned towards me and what do I see but the random thought thread and the secratry isnt at the desk so I stop to look and its someone called skylark whos on but in invisable mode then she comes back and Im thinkig should i ask her or not so I decide not to and keep walking down the corridor wheare there are loads more computr screens all showng the forum index.

Just plain wierd or what?

[Kaltrina]

yeah pretty weird, but I think the forum and the thread are there only because you are dealing with the threads all day.... but the name is interesting... it is good you remember it, who knows what it is..... your dreams are very similar with mine... :D they almost allways represent something

[papayahed]

I've been having a lot of dreams lately, most I can't remember. Last night I had a dream that there was an earthquake in the New England area of the US which resulted in a huge cervice cutting through NY and Pennsylvania.

[starrwriter]

I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night
Alive as you or me
Says I to Phil, "You're long years dead."
"I never died," says he

The music business killed you, Phil
They ignored the things you said
And cast you out when fashions changed
Says Phil: "But I ain't dead."

The FBI harassed you, Phil
They smeared you with their lies
Says he: "But they could never kill
what they couldn't compromise."

Though fashion's changed and critics sneered
The songs that I have sung
Are just as true tonight as then
The struggle carries on

The song of freedom rings out loud
From valleys and from hills
Where people stand up for their rights
Phil Ochs is with us still

[Taliesin]

Is it normal when we have dreams that some goup kills people to make pi into 3 or close to it.

We think it was like that that when they ritually killed a 14-year old person, then they got that pi= 3,0015926535... . Then they killed a 15-year old and got that 3,0000926535....
We don't remember if they wanted to get pi=3 or pi= so close to three that anything that is left over is so small that we can ignore it.

Only, they couldn't do it, because we woke up.

Are dreams like this normal?

(how about demons in human skin who sell you concentrated sulfuric acid instead of a soda and don't tell you, but you understand it and pour it over them so that they dissolve and then it happens three times over again?)

[papayahed]

Are dreams like this normal?



No. :D :lol: :nod:

[Nightshade]

Like Jesus, I'm surrounded by philistines.

[starrwriter]

I LOVE PAPAYAHED. i think you are the one person that could make Starr end up in a ward making baskets.
I often fantasize about residing at the Hawaii State Mental Hospital. Basket-weaving classes in the morning, a lunch of poi, then guarded walks through landscaped grounds on cool rainy nights. Not a care in the world -- a long rest for the spirit. Some day, if I'm lucky ...

So.... What, should I give it my best shot??

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamt i was at work - but it was also a grocery store.

[rachel]

Starr, I thought you ARE a Philistine, all blustering threatening and little yield in the scarey department.
And then along come a little David called Papayahed and smack, down you fall. She can do it with just three words -who's Phil Ochs. She is such a perfect straight man to your hilarious diatribes. I have a feeling you had better be nicer or there will be about a hundred forum people buying tickets to Hawaii to 'have serious speaks' with you.

Oooo, I'm trembling in my boots. Besides, it's more fun to be naughty than nice. Santa Claus is not coming to my town.

[AimusSage]

Santa Claus doesn't exist, I saw it in my dream, he is just a figment of a marketeers imagination, Saint Nicolaas on the other hand, he exists. died on the fifth of december, born on the sixth. And has been granted eternal torment, He now has to come to the Netherlands everyyear in November on a steamboat and give presents to annoying children. He is not allowed to leave until his day of death, when he has to relive the moment. At that time everybody celebrates his live by unpacking the presents he provided, and don't actually care about him at all. He dissapears again, untill the next year, when the process repeats itself again.

[rachel]

Saint Nicholas, once Bishop and imprisoned for his faith is my patron saint.
He's not in eternal torment. He became known for helping young women who would have been forced to marry a man they didn't choose because they were poor and could not afford a dowry. He was orphaned as a young man and used his money to help these girls. He was a very kind and honorable man and was known as a hammer of heretics.
Starr those boots you are shaking in , they are not gum boots with little duckies on them are they? See no matter how you try that little drop of sweetness shows thru. Methinks you are like the Oz as in Wizard of . Once the troop got thru all that nauseating yellow brick road bit and found out the guy was nothing at all really well there was only the good old witch that was interesting past that point.

[AimusSage]

Rachel, I am familiar with the history of Saint Nicolas, but I also know what has become of him in the Netherlands. Here his fate is very similar to that of Santa Claus, the little jab of eternal torment was referring to this. His actual life has little to nothing to do with it.

[starrwriter]

Starr those boots you are shaking in , they are not gum boots with little duckies on them are they? See no matter how you try that little drop of sweetness shows thru.
Towel again, please.


Methinks you are like the Oz as in Wizard of.
DON'T LOOK BEHIND THAT CURTAIN!

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamed that I was on atype of balcony looking at 5 of me, all dressed differently with different attributes, standing in a circle, I think they were manniquens because I had to pick one and that was what I was going to whwear for the day. I think, I woke up before my choice was brought to me.

[rachel]

AmusSage

oh, oops forgive me. The word Netherlands sounds so ancient and Tolkienish.
I confess I don't know much about the land or peoples or customs. I will try to learn and not sound so ignorant on posts in the future. :D

so perhaps you were a cashier?
I so love Charlie Brown, the most misunderstood boy in the universe- besides dear Starr

No problem, The Netherlands is hardly tolkienish though, It's all flat and infested with highways that are filled up with trafic and which I have to travel almost daily. And Cows, lots of cows to.

[starrwriter]

(I was raised by bears.)

I have a question then, when it rains does the air smell like cows??
Or is that just the english country side??

Hey, we had the best basketball team in the whole state when I was a senior in high school. Beat the hell out of those teams from snobbish Detroit suburbs. All-pro Chet Walker was an alumnus. Go Tigers!

[AimusSage]

:D

It does in the little village where I live, but in the cities the rain kind of resembles a chemical spill, the air then smells like burning hair extensions mixed with mutated bunny poo, and it rains a lot too! :brow:

[Nightshade]

I suppose most big cities spell lke that :D

[starrwriter]

I suppose most big cities smell lke that.
Honolulu smells like frangipani (plumeria flowers) and salty sea spray. It's invigorating.

[AimusSage]

Honolulu smells like frangipani (plumeria flowers) and salty sea spray. It's invigatorating.

I find the cities in the Netherlands invigorating to, some people actually grow new limbs after the rain, it's that invigorating. :D

Basketball was invented way back then?

[starrwriter]

Basketball was invented way back then?
Yep. For hoops we used real farm baskets with the bottoms cut out.

(And don't be such a wise guy or my ghost will haunt you after I croak.)

[RobinHood3000]

Hear that, papayahed? You'll probably want to find an exorcist, and fast. You've got what, three, maybe four years at most to get one.

I'll outlive all of you and urinate on your grave stones! (From a wheelchair if necessary.)

Oh, and won't it be fun!

Oh, and won't it be fun!

Now that's something to look forward too.

[rachel]

pardon me Starr but basketball was invented by James Naismith from Ontario Canada.
Around 1895, a year before you were born Starr so it is understandable that you might not know.
Isn't that true Kilted?

[kilted exile]

Yep, basketball was invented by the first Dr J in Canada.

[starrwriter]

Enough bragging by Canadians who never learned to play the game nearly as well as Americans. Can you say Michael Jordan?

[AimusSage]

Oh, Michael Jordan, isn't that the guy in that Looney Tunes movie? :D

[RobinHood3000]

I'll outlive all of you and urinate on your grave stones! (From a wheelchair if necessary.)

Remind me to plant an electric fence just underneath the topsoil on my grave.

You gotta love Canadian humour, eh? They try so hard (and succeed so seldomly.)

Starr, a reminder for you:

[AimusSage]

You gotta love Canadian humour, eh? They try so hard (and succeed so seldomly.)

I guess so, I don't really know that many canadians. Never been there before you see. I did fly over it once, on my way to the states, I did like all the clouds and New Foundland, so it can't be all bad in Canada.

[Nightshade]

I want to go to New Foundland!!
Kilted! How scottish!
And its not canadian humor Star because I was about to say exacvtly the same thing but Aimus beat me to it!

New Avy!!!
:D
not sorry for what?

[AimusSage]

Just to get this page back on topic, I had a dream a few nights ago, which was quite odd actually, and funny at the same time. It went like this:

I was at a swimming pool, filled with milk. There was a really high diving plank, with three stairs. But only one stair let to the top. After I figured out I climbed the wrong set of stairs, I just jumped to the right one, and got to the top first. When I reached the top I had to dive really cool, because otherwise the Island Fortress floating in the middle would win. Obviously I Manage to make an olympic dive, and the Island was defeated.

To celebrate, John Travolta came with a big trophy, that I could win if I competed with him and a bunch of other celeberties in a game of soccer. Being the Soccer player I am, I accepted. But not long before the match started, Christopher Walken came and told John that his nuclear powerplant had a big blow up doll on the cooling tower, so John had to take care of it. He did invite everyone to his place.

When we got there I asked him why he didn't have a boeing 747. He said he was quite happy with his boeing 707. So, we had a nice barbeque, and it was decided that me and my friends where going to have a sleepover at his place.

The next morning I woke up early, as I had to be at my soccer club to be a referee for a youth game. I went to the toilet, but someone was puking all over it, so I took the bathroom instead to take a shower. After the shower I stepped onto my bike. I first had to go to the pub to ask for directions. In the pub I found a few Dutch politicians discussing politics. Unfortunately I didn't quite have time to listen, as the police was there to give me a ticked for a busted tail light.

After all this I finally made it to the soccer club, and that was the end of the dream. I had a great time in the dream, and it is one of the few dreams I actually remember.

[Basil]

not sorry for what?
Oh, nothing.

*whistles innocently*

[starrwriter]

Starr, a reminder for you:
Prison humor with a map. Not bad, Kilted.

[Scheherazade]

Prison humorFeeling nostalgic?

[rachel]

STEVE NASH HE'S THE MAN.
Thank you Kilted. Night you JUST noticed how Scottish that sounds?
Starr if we Canadians so seldom score with our humour why is it that you keep tuning in to see what we have written hmmmm?
No one is arguing that Americans are great at basketball.
Sure I can say Michael Jordan. what of it? I hear his mom is better at the game than him.

PLEASE SANTA pay attention to what Scher has said. SHE HAS BEEN GOOD....ALL YEAR( coughs and coughs and then turns red with embarrasment for her dear co forum person)
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST GIVE HER WHAT SHE WANTS I cannot bear to read that one more time...it is like listening to baby Hasia when she wants something. arggggggggggh

[starrwriter]

Feeling nostalgic?
Never been behind bars myself, but it seemed as if Kilted might be recollecting his bad old days.

[kilted exile]

it seemed as if Kilted might be recollecting his bad old days.
nope, the only time I have spent inside of a prison is when I return to Glasgow and visit a friend who is currently residing at her majesty's pleasure.

now, more on topic....I have been having this recurring dream recently that everything in my life currently is back in glasgow, but I am still the foriegner.

[starrwriter]

nope, the only time I have spent inside of a prison is when I return to Glasgow and visit a friend who is currently residing at her majesty's pleasure.
Did you know that many Australians call everyone who lives in England POMMIES? It means prisoners of her majesty. I love Aussie humour.

[papayahed]

Never been behind bars myself, but it seemed as if Kilted might be recollecting his bad old days.

I'm really surprised that you have never been behind bars. I thought for sure you would have spent sometime behind bars after being hauled away from some protest or another....



Anyways, back to dreams:
Last night I had a vivid dream that i remembered when I woke up but for the life of me I only remember the part where I'm standing in the car rewntal place returning my car and the guy is telling me that the antanae is broke.

[starrwriter]

I'm really surprised that you have never been behind bars. I thought for sure you would have spent sometime behind bars after being hauled away from some protest or another....
I once witnessed a protest at the Berkeley campus of the University of California. The tear gas was so thick I could barely breathe.

But actually participating in public protests is beneath my dignity. I'm a loner. I get even on dark nights in dead-end alleys. The flash of a steel blade, the look of terror on the victim's face -- you get the picture.

[papayahed]

Why do you think I carry a blade in my shoe?

[Weeping Willow]

So i wanted to share a dream that is hunting me in the last month since i got back from Amsterdam..
I already had this dream twich since i got back..
In the dream i discover that we find a store that sell doughnuts (yes i just wrote doughnuts) then me and all how is with me in the dream are all happy and quickly going to buy ourself some doughnuts!! :) just like we did in Amsterdam (you know why.. :) )
Then i allways wake up and realize i was dreaming.. and we actually don't have doughnuts here...
Yes i know it's a stupied dream but what can i do we really don't have doughnuts here since duncen doughnut closed all its stores in Israel.. how sad.. :).....

[RobinHood3000]

Bah to knives. People run a great deal faster from a bow or crossbow.

[papayahed]

I had a dream last night that the braces on my back teeth came out, one of them still had a piece of tooth attached to it, which is slightly weird dince I haven't had braces in .......holy carp! 20 years.

[Kaltrina]

so you're saying you took out one of your tooth right? and did it hurt, the tooth I mean in your dream?

[RobinHood3000]

I once had a dream that precisely one quarter of my teeth fell out at once...the lower left side, if I recall correctly. They, too, were held together by braces as an odd unit. Subsequently, I just stuck 'em back in like a demented quarter-set of dentures.

[papayahed]

so you're saying you took out one of your tooth right? and did it hurt, the tooth I mean in your dream?

Nope didn't hurt in my dream. Just the enamel on one side of my tooth came off.

[Pensive]

I dreamt that I failed my Maths exam. I became very sad and depressed. I had brain tumer. I became sick. I was not able to go to school due to my brain-tumer. My loved-ones came to visit me and made Get Well Soon Cards for me. *to tell you guys the truth, it was a happy feeling. Then my brother became really worried and then he wrote a book about a girl who has suffered brain-tumer but she died.

The book became the hit one. I became mad because my brother had showed that I died, so in revenge I tried my best to be ok and in a matter of few days, I got up from the bed and became alright. Then I wrote a book which was about a girl who has suffered brain-tumer but she was leading her life happily and she was also sharing her feelings, thoughts and adventures with the readers and that girl was ME. The book became even more hit.

How was the dream? Good or Bad? I am not able to decide...
What do you guys think? *confused*

I say, and no offense, bad. I didn't like the fact that the book was written out of vengeance. Your brother did no wrong at all, there should be no reason for you to write a book just to get revenge on him for doing nothing. Of course, it was a dream so, bleh. Anyhow, yeah... I'd say it wasn't such a good dream.

You know, I once had this dream which was odd, interesting, terrifying, cool, peaceful, and extremely extremely frightening. It eventually became both my worsest, most frightening nightmare and my favorite, favorite dream (thus making it odd).

[Pensive]

Lol, it was a dream.

I know that if he would have written a book for me like that in the real life, I would have been very happy but in dream, we can't choose. I liked it because all my loved-ones came to me and my brother even wrote a book for me but I hated it because I was suffering brain-tumer.

Lol, it was a dream.

I know that if he would have written a book for me like that in the real life, I would have been very happy but in dream, we can't choose. I liked it because all my loved-ones came to me and my brother even wrote a book for me but I hated it because I was suffering brain-tumer.

Everybody has dreams, everyday. People just simply forget their dreams. After 10 minutes from waking up a person has already forgotten 90% of their dream, and I'm not mad at you for doing that, just saying it isn't a good dream

[Kaltrina]

Nope didn't hurt in my dream. Just the enamel on one side of my tooth came off.

oh that is nothing then. because in my country when interpreting dreams they say that when a tooth is taken off and it hurts then someone dear to the person is going to die, which is why it hurts but if a tooth is taken off without hurting then the person will hear of someones death but of someone that is not his/her relative. but in your case it is neither of those... that's why I asked. ;)

I wonder if a dream journal might help. It's a way of scribing one's dreams, kept near one's bed for easy access before one forgets. Some people even set their alarms to unusual hours to "catch their dreams off-guard." The idea behind it is that patterns may eventually emerge over a long period of time.

It's also to be able to lucid dream. Heh, I just had one this morning, actually I think I just did a WILD this morning(waking induced lucid dream). Not sure though. To bad I couldn't really control anything... man... I've gotten bad at controlling my dreams, I was pretty good before. It was odd though, I woke up(without moving or opening my eyes), and slowly drifted back to sleep with knowledge of being awake, and so when I appeared at my school... I knew I was dreaming. The dream didn't last though... I actually woke up in a little while. The dream felt somewhat real though... no dream haze or anything. Well... anyhow... I tried falling asleep again just to have another lucid dream but failed. Oh well... I'll probably have one some other time :D

[Weeping Willow]

For me i have found up that when some one wakes me up and i jump up right out of the dream i tend to remember all of it and very clearly..
But that doesn't happen very often.
When i wake up as usual by my alarm clock i don't remember much.. :)..

Last night I watched a movie on TV that reminded me of a childhood experience. It was the original 1950s version of "The Thing," which I first saw in a theater when I was something like 8 years old.

For months afterward I had a recurring nightmare. The Thing chases me. I run into a room and hide under the bed. I watch The Thing's feet as he enter the room and moves around looking for me. Then he bends down to look under the bed and I am face to face with him. I wake up screaming.

I remember my mother telling me that was the last scary movie she would let me watch. The film is so well-done it still scares me a bit, even though I now know it is James Arness behind the makeup (Matt Dillon of "Gunsmoke").

Ive just woken up so my dream is still abit with me and I must say another odd forum dream. This time Im reading a post and its a newbie whose posted it talking about A smiliey member intreeged by rubber duckys (me) but then it sort of got wierd because he was asking me to speak rubber duckese and did I know that Quackedy was being misprnounced and I remeber I got quite upset at thespelling mistake.
But since Ive woken up it suddely occured to me I dont speak rubber duckese Robin does.
I guess the BFG gott confused and I got a dream thats mean for someone else :rolleyes:

Perhaps I should start a thread for a Rubber-Duckese workshop?

I had a dream that I was trepassing and got arrested and I had to go to court. Yhr courtroom was huge and I showed up in my pajama's and I asked my lawyer if I should have dressed up and she said no then she borrowed a suit jacket from another lady and put it on, then stuff happened and it looked like I was getting off the hook but I woke up before the verdict was handed down.

[starrwriter]

The most unforgettable dream I ever had was decades ago and I never had it again.

I am walking down a big city street that looks like a canyon of tall buildings. Suddenly, I hear a noise behind me. I turn around to see an incredibly huge wave rushing toward me. It must be 500 feet high. I begin running, but I know the wave is moving too fast to escape. In seconds I am struck from behind, tumble underwater, and suck liquid into my lungs.

The scene shifts. I am in space, as if orbiting the earth. As I look down on the planet, I am overcome with a feeling of melancholy witnessing all the misery I see below. A hand touches me on the shoulder and I turn to see an old man with a long white beard.

He says: "Do not worry. You have all eternity to find joy."

It is only then I realize I am dead.

At the time of the dream I lived in a Florida city that had never experienced a tsunami. This was long before there were any TV programs about tsunamis or end-of-the-world movies involving tsunamis. I don't think I had ever heard the word tsunami up to that point, so I have no idea why I dreamed about dying in one.

Today I live in a big city in Hawaii that has a fairly high risk of tsunamis. Hundreds of islanders have been killed in tsunamis over the past half century. When I remember that old dream now, I sometimes wonder if it was a precognitive glimpse of how I would die.

Were you naked?

[rachel]

papayahed-what in the world kind of a question is that?
that is a terrible dream, dreadful. I am sure it will never come true.
I had a dream once before my life turned to rescuing children and trying to help change their lives for the better. I dreamed I was in a sort of subway, underground at any rate and people were walking without any expression this way and that going to and coming from work.They were smartly dressed and were all prosperous. I had a baby, a newborn(I don't think it was mine) and held it tightly. It was hungry and I had not the milk to give it for I was not nursing. we were both wrapped in a large black plastic bag and I was so weak from crying out for help that I laid on the cold cement with babe pressed against me to keep it warm.
No one, not one person even glanced at us, never mind heard our cries. I wept so bitterly and felt my heart so broken that I thought I would die.
I suddenly woke up hearing my first born yelling at his siblings for he thought they had done something to make me cry. I sat up and was still broken hearted and wondered at the fact I had fallen quickly asleep in the middle of the day before my graveyard shift and was crying so loudly my son could hear me downstairs.
after that child after child came my way and my life was altered forever. one day a little boy came to our door hungry. we fed him, I made him a lunch and got him to school. another time some children brought a small boy to us for food. it just snowballed.

No, but the old man with the beard was.

you flatter yourself. I am claiming another master - an ex-coworker, old guy. He's a diabetic, I came in one day to find a small snowman on my desk with a needle stuck in his arm and a note saying "Why is this snowman so happy?" You'd like him. You can be a co master...

well done Papayahed, brilliant. You have just garnered my vote for member of the year next year, and I don't even believe in that sort of stuff. You are sharp as a tack, quick on your feet and deliver your lines like a yuk yuk's pro. And you are pretty to boot.
Starr, I think Papayahed is already who she is and you had zero or less to do with it.
That is hilarious about the snowman though. perhaps the gentleman in question was having a diabetic delusion at the time from too much insulin.

On the first count, brilliant posts? have they been on this website? I think I missed those. Second, I am not so weak minded nor adle brained to change my personality from several mediocre posts. Thirdly, I find this website to be a bastion of niceness and wholesomeness I have not had to pull out the guns and show my acerbic tongue until you forced me into it.

I dreamt last night that me and my boyfriend were in the shopping centre and we were holding hands, and this girl came over (who in real life fancies Luke :() and she said; "why are you holding hands with her?" and I went off crying and looked back and they were laughing at me hugging each other! It was horrible!!!! I hate those dreams!

[AimusSage]

Recently I have been having some freaky dreams, where random people die due to freak accidents, like last night, I dreamt a girl was walking in between two parked trucks, and suddenly the trucks backed into each other at great speed. The girl died obviously, and the dream is actually quite graphic in that department, with blood splatting all over the place.

how horrid! the worst dreams I've had are simply ones with demons chasing me... oh yeah... and that priest who kept his dead daughter's corpse under his bed in a black bag and somehow fed her each day.

[rachel]

Rachy,
I know how you feel. I have had dreams like that too, they are devestating. But I am quite certain that Luke is gaga over you. That girl can just go get her own person.
AimusSage and Digital those are dreadful. could it be something you are watching or reading that is really gorey or from too little sleep or anxieties about something?
I hope your dreams are perfect tonight.

I don't think so. I had that dream a couple of months ago, turned out to be my favorite (as I have stated earlier in this thread) of all my dreams.

From what I can remember I started off being at school playing volleyball or something. It was a special day where we apparently only had 2 classes. First I had PE, then my group and another group were suppose to switch classes, so we had English next. Of course, we never did that in my school at all, but of course, in a dream... that feels natural. It was very dark and gloomy outside, a chill could easily rise up your spine. Once we finished playing volleyball we switched. Everybody went on to English class but I for some reason, all of the sudden, forgot where English class was. My heart all of the sudden felt cold for no reason at all, and the atmosphere changed abruptly. Time started to slow down, like it usually does in dreams and nightmares. You think they were long but you think back to the dream and it turns out it wasn't that long at all. I headed towards school, which turned out to be apartment-like. The air felt cold and somewhat frightening, while the clouds covered everything in such a way that it made everything a cold-bluish color.

It was as if there was an invisible veil of darkness in the area, I couldn't find my way to the classroom, and I searched for minutes which actually felt like hours because of the dream, until I finally came across a reverend (yeah, it was actually a reverend not a priest). He looked normal, but there was something about him, as if that normal look was just a facade hiding something, a dark secret, which made him, to me, frightening. There was also something in the air, a presence that was following me. He invited me in to his room, I went in.

I just wanted an answer to my question, but he kept talking about sins. As he did, he started to light a menorah, and it felt chillier all of the sudden. I can't remember what he was talking about, eventually though, he starts talking about his daughter, how she had sinned, died, and how she now can't move on to heaven, and is trapped in Limbo. He told me how she died, my heart started to race, I can't remember what had happened though. Then he said something odd.

Like I said, he told me he kept her corpse under his bed. As he said it he held the menorah in front of his chest while looking up at a wall, in the same way one looks out the window while being in a moment of thought. He told me he fed her every morning, regular food. He told how he unzipped the black plastic bag that held her in, got food and fed her each day in the morning. He asked me to do a favor, and if I did it he would tell me the location of the class, he gave me some food and asked if I could do the honors for that day's meal.

I accepted, I would do anything to get out of that terrible room, if I got the location I could simply leave and head to class. I got the food, and the spoon, and once again he did that mournful thoughtful, yet evil-like look towards the wall, with the menorah in his hand in front of his chest. I searched under his bed for the bag and slowly pulled it out. I unzipped the bag, I can't remember how she looked, but I fed her. It was one of the most frightening things I had ever done (both in a dream, and well... dreams are a part of your life, right?). I couldn't feed her more, it was too horrid to continue. I zipped her up again, and put her back to where she was.

I walked towards him, and asked for the location, with more fear in my spine than ever. He didn't tell me the location, he kept talking about sin... I simply left him how he was and walked out of the room, once more in search for my class.

Well... that was half the dream...

[Anon22]

Continuing from where I left of, I began to search for the classroom once more, but this time I was completely frightened by what had just occured. Once again, it felt like hours of searching. Something was not right though, something bizzare within the air. I couldn't quite figure out what it was, but deep inside me, from what had just happened, I knew exactly what it was. Wherever I went, it followed, it's presence becoming stronger as the time went on.

Eventually I entered this elevator to go to the next floor, which was when the presence became intolerable... I began to panic, my heart racing once more. I knew exactly what it was at that point, the lights within the elevator started to flicker. The elevator door opened, I walked out of the elevator in haste. The halls seemed long and confusing, I didn't know where I was at all, it was like a labyrinth. As the lights flickered I continued, my pace getting faster and faster. I could not really run, or I could but I didn't. The lights behind me, as I walked quickly, flickered and turned off.

It got to the point where all the lights in the area turned off. Not even a glimmer of light was seen. I felt tired and scared, and I clung to the walls feeling my way around. Time still moved at its slow pace. The rest is a blur, I do not know if it talked to me, I think it actually grabbed my shoulder once, I don't know if I confronted it face to face though. I knew it was there, and in case you don't know what I mean by "it", "it" is a demon, or was one. I would've returned to the elevator and left, but I couldn't find it at all... it was too dark.

I was starting to give up, there was no way I could get out of that mess. I was stuck there, for what seemed like hours. I was tired, I was scared, I couldn't move any longer. I lay there sitting next to the wall, as it got near.

Then my hopelessness was washed away by a white light, a bright one too, escaping from the gaps of a door (from the edges). I quickly scurried to it and before it could reach me(and perhaps this is the moment it grabbed my shoulder) I opened the door and entered. My worries, my tiredness... everything negative just simply washed away, leaving only the positive. As I entered my English class with everyone there, I looked outside, it started to rain, but I did not care.

That is how my horrid dream has become my favorite dream, my most wonderful dream, my favorite nightmare, my most frightening nightmare, and my worst dream.

[Nightshade]

I think off the top of my head the scariest dream I ever had was the first I can remeber.
I was 5 and I though I was a wake and the witch from snowwhite was coming towards me with the apple nd I couldnt move from my bed. Sounds stupid now but I was petrified.
Mind you I could have been awake and she be the dressingowns behind the door there was a little light on the red sleeve.

That made me wonder what is the first dream any of you remeber?

[rachel]

wow Digital that is intense. But first a reverend, then lighting minorah for Hanukkah which we are celebrating still right now as I write this(last night was fabulous) which is Jewish, how very odd
there are many evil people that don the garb of nobel professions and bring their terror and horror to them. The white light is beautiful and I can see how it would be your favorite dream coming out alive after all of that.
Night you are positively the FUNNIEST girl, really you see t hings in life in such a special awesome way.

[Anon22]

That made me wonder what is the first dream any of you remeber?

The first dream I can remember, is the dream where I first attained the power to fly. Now I don't remember when I had this dream, so I'm not sure if it was my first dream. I can't remember much of it at all.

This dream was important though, because in this dream, I learned how to fly in dreams, which in later dreams I would use. It's basically my first dream with flight and I can still remember jumping in my neighborhood and realizing that I can jump and stay in the air and float around like a feather being pushed and blown gently by the wind. I've known people who dream that they can fly, but their version of flying is different(Like superman flying, airplane flying) my version of flying is most likely that of Peter Pan(which I had only watched once during that time and could not remember much of it at all). There was now glitter falling from me though, I just jumped and I could fly.

Which brings me to this question, in your dreams how do you fly? what style of flying that is?

Yes, if it weren't for that white light I would've woken up with intense fear, but because of it I woke up with its peace still embedded in my heart.

[samercury]

[Anon22]

See, told you they were, nice avatar :D

[RobinHood3000]

I've flown a couple of times in dreams. Not exactly Superman-flight, but more of a feeling like if I jumped, I could just keep going. I had to focus, though, or else I'd sink again. The vast majority of times, it was a combination of Chinese kung-fu flight and Peter Pan-flight, although there was that one bizarre dream where I was simultaneously me and behind a computer keyboard controlling me, in which I had to alternate shift keys in order to stay airborne...

[Anon22]

Heh, interesting

[Nightshade]

Do you know what the freudian sugnficance of flying is??
But I used to fly when I was younger it was always the same dream.
I was in an aeroplane going to egypt I tink. And just as we were flying over the compounnd where I live dthe plane broke up and disnitigrated in the air and first we (my family and me) whizzed around on plane chairs then gradually they became the rug we had in the lounge and we fly around the buildings then I cant remeber anything else. That was one of m,y faviourate dreams to have as a kid.
:D

[Anon22]

You know a couple of days ago I dreamt I rode an airplane with a friendly pilot which did tricks on his airplane. The airplane was odd, it had lights and stuff and as it spun around you could see rainbow like patterns being made in the sky.

I dreamt I was pregnant last night! I was going around like, but I don't know how I am! It's not possible!! and then I got woken up by my phone but for a split second I thought it was true! VERY scarey!!

[Themis]

Huh, I'm glad I never dream something like that.

The only thing I repeatedly dream is about me still going to school. It's quite interesting actually because subconciously I *know* I passed my final exams nearly three years ago and my mind always comes up with the weirdest things to explain my going to school again!

At least, I don't dream about the final exams again.The only time I did that was between the written and the oral examination. That was really scary.

I regret having to tell you, but it is true. Last night you were abducted in a UFO, implanted with alien spawn, then returned to your bed with your memory erased. Or so the aliens thought. They still haven't perfected total memory erasure.

The Exorcist and The Omen, however, are still fine for at least a couple of years.

I had a wacked out dream last night. First I was at some type of cabiny - type house, there were many other people there and we were trying to go to sleep. My friend from grade school was there and we liked each other and were planning to put our sleeping bags next to each other (I'm not sure what age I was in the dream) in the living room next to the TV. Some time passed. I got up and went into another room, it was a bedroom and there were 2 other people in the room. One had the satanic bible and the other was trying to get that person to get rid of it. The one handed it to me and the book wrapped around my finger really tight and I was freaking out. We got the book out of my hands and was about to throw it out the door when the table next to me started shaking and something was trying to pull me towards the door. I was fighting to stay in the chair, it was like I had to use all my strength at that point I woke myself up. Slightly freaky, haven't had one of those in quite a long time.

Dont you bully my rachy!!!*glare*
lastnight ( I think) I dreamed I had this fern like plant and it was all drooping and dieing and I was watering it and twisting it in the light and on half would unfirl (like on tv when they showed speeded up plant growth) and spread in the light and the other half would droop then Id twist it round and they oppoise sides would do the same , then the sun set and it all sorty of curled up. And all I could think was wow Im watching a mirical.

Maybe I should expolain I bouht one oif those red christmas plants and am determined it will stay alive till the second weak in january at least if I have to shift it from roonm to room every night.

[omgitsMK]

i keep having the same night mare everynight and each time it ends at the same time, except it gets more vivid and vivid like, like i can smell things in my dream, i dont know what it means but its really starting to upset me and scare me.

[emily655321]

If you take the side of those who believe that dreams are a reflection of your emotions regarding things that happen in your real life, then perhaps there is something worrying you that you have yet to resolve. The longer the problem persists, the more worried you get, and the more intense your dreams become. I'm sorry you're having these frightening dreams. Nightmares can be the most upsetting thing in the world, because it feels like you're being attacked inside your own head, but even if they don't stop right away, identifying the problem they represent can at least make you feel less helpless. And even if your problem doesn't go away, the nightmares probably will, because thought is at the root of the dreams, and knowing what they're about will make you think about them differently.

[emily655321]

Good luck, Night! I know, I kill my plants all the time, and it makes me feel like a bad mother. :p But the last tenant in my apartment left a little aloe plant behind, and I've been very determined to take care of it. I take it out of the window at night when I close the curtains, so it won't freeze, and I water it every day. Right now it's in very poor soil, but I can't re-pot it until the weather is warmer, because I'm afraid the combination of the cold and re-potting would shock it. So right now I'm just trying to water it and keep it warm, and praying it won't die before the winter's over. :nod:

Do I have to teach you people how to do everything?

Emily, no plant should be watered every day -- especially not an aloe that is native to a desert climate. Once or twice a week is more than enough.

Since you have no doubt washed away all the nutrients in the "poor soil," you should repot it now. Go to a garden shop and buy a bag of good potting soil, Miracle Gro fertilizer and B vitamin for plants. Transplant aloe into new potting soil without breaking any roots, then water with a weak solution of Miracle Gro and Vitamin B. The combination of fertilizer and vitamin will prevent transplant shock.

Just call me Mr. Green Thumb.

[emily655321]

Thanks for the advice, Starr. I'll start watering it less frequently, but it doesn't look like it'll be getting Miracle Gro or vitamins from me anytime soon unless a) Home Depot starts giving them away for free, or b) I wake up to find the plant has started sprouting dollar bills.

You need a Money Plant. They are tropical plants with narrow leaves and many people in Hawaii plant them as ornamentals in their yards. They don't normally grow legal tender, but you could play mad scientist and experiment.

Anyone else here usually have trouble going back to sleep after a nightmare?

[AimusSage]

Dunno really, I never have nightmares, I quite enjoy dreams with death and destruction or that are otherwise unsettling and terrifying, because when I wake up I know the world isn't nearly as wicked and disturbed as it is in my dreams. I go back to sleep ASAP, in the hopes of jump starting such a dream again. It makes the real world such a beautiful place, when dreams utterly destroy everything.

Sounds strange? Well it is, but it helps when you go to sleep expecting the worst to happen because it usually does. :)

[smilingtearz]

don't know if this sounds wierd, but i can continue a dream, like... I had this dream once that my dad was about to gift me a car, but i was shaken awake by my sister just when he was about to hand me over the keys.... i remembered the dream next day, and the following night i thought of that dream, thought of it so much that when i fell asleep, what followed was the rest of the dream, I got a new car!

and this once, when i had participated in a music competition and i was waiting for the result, my cell phone rang...which I percieved in the dream as the instruments being played for another contestant...but realized in some time that it was the phone...

and i was so curious, i thought over the whole dream again, and when i fell asleep, what followed where the results of the competition...

[emily655321]

Anyone else here usually have trouble going back to sleep after a nightmare?I've only had a couple of proper nightmares in my life (where the dream actually made me wake up). I remember one time I fell back asleep very easily, and the other that I remember was in the morning, so I just got up. Even if a dream is very upsetting, I usually sleep through the night and not remember it until the morning—or, more often, not until the following evening, when something will spur my memory. Most of my dreams, though (the ones I remember, anyway), are neither frightening nor happy, but just pervaded by a strong sense of weirdness and dread. I'll often attempt to describe a particularly disquieting one to someone else, but realize that the objective events of the dream weren't scary at all; yet for some reason everything about it felt wrong and surreal.


and this once, when i had participated in a music competition and i was waiting for the result, my cell phone rang...which I percieved in the dream as the instruments being played for another contestant...but realized in some time that it was the phone...

and i was so curious, i thought over the whole dream again, and when i fell asleep, what followed where the results of the competition...That happens to me, too, sometimes. :nod: If someone wakes me up briefly, then I go back to sleep, I'll often pick up dreaming right where I left off.

And it's funny that you should mention your cell phone! When I was living at home I used to have a very loud alarm clock, and if I was awake when it went off, it sounded like the whole world was coming to an end. But I usually just slept through it, and it would get incorporated into my dream as techno music. Go figure.

[emily655321]

[Rachy]

This isn't one of my dreams it's my boyfriends that he was telling me about:

We were walking down the road and these guys surronded us and he looked around and I was gone and he was trying to protect me but he couldn't find me and he kept looking, and then he saw me and these guys were trying to kill me and he was trying to get me and he got beaten up and died.

He is a rather odd child!! Hehe

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamt that I was showing someone my dental bridge and it had a rotting tooth. Then I dreamt that my uncle and his family were helping me an my mom pack up our house because we were moving to New York. I was getting ready to throw out al these little "army men" type figures but they were more like cartoon characters and my cousin kept pulling them out of the garabage.

[rachel]

wow, cool dream.
I dreamed last night, when I was actually sleeping and not bringing drinks to half the household, that I was talking to jrr tolkien. It was awesome except I couldn't understand half his words and he talked about all his essays and speeches and by the time I woke up I was so exhausted I felt like crumpling up like an accordian on the floor.

[papayahed]

I was at work, but it was bigger and we had a river and docks on the property. There was a kayak race that I wanted to be in but I couldn't get down to the starting line, by the time I actually got down there, there was no one left to be a partner with, then I was under a bridge near where the race was being held for some reason I thought I needed to go down this drain pipe to find some friends. Then I was in the balcony of a gymnasium and Bon Jovi was giving a concert, it was a pretty small place and the crowd wasn't very enthusiastic. The drummer was up in the balcony as well, he was preparing for his fire breathing act.

[Pensive]

I dreamt something terrible last night. It was:

The country is being ruled my extremely religious people. A country (I have forgotten which) attacks Pakistan. I dreams that my grandpa's home is the whole Pakistan. They attacks at my grandpa's home and their soldiers are coming with swords in their hands instead of guns and their president is in the middle of all the soldiers

And then they starts to kill everybody. I, also have sword in my hand and I also starts to murder them and then I kills a lot of people. In the end, I have killed their President. Now, the people of my country left (their number is six) are congratulating me for murdering the President.

I asks them that now only six people are left in the whole country, so what should we do now?

A person of those five people replies that we should call some people from Begladesh.

(It is one of the most terrible dreams that I have ever dreamt)

[papayahed]

I dreamt I was at work and a coworker was working on a computer in the label room (they don't have internet access) as I passed by the screen caught my eye. He was posting a poem to this website. I was weirded out but felt more comfortable when he started typing in the info to become a new user.

[chmpman]

I dreamt that I was trying on a jump suit and parachute for skydiving but I had no plans to jump. I was just trying them on for the heck of it.

[Pensive]

No More Telling because now, nearly all of my dreams are concerned with politics.

[Taliesin]

Guns are actually very thought-provoking.
Especially if they are being aimed to you.
Happened about a month ago. We were taken from our cell to the execution chamber. A depressing thing was, that one of the soldiers was once a friend, a former classmate. We understood that it was the war and so on, and it really wasn't his fault and that you had to pick sides, and so on, but that didn't stop us from berating him - we really wanted to be remembered and we believed that he would remember then.
There were four people being shot at a time. One of them was also a person who had been a classmate for eleven years.
We knew that one of us had a slim chance of escaping. We didn't hope for anything. We forgot about that chance quite soon.
We had no eyeband. We didn't ask for it. An eyeband is somehow humiliating.
In the execution chamber, we knew that we had exactly five seconds to live.
It was a terribly interesting experience.
I didn't have to do anything. A last cigarette would have been a new experience, but any new experiences didn't matter anymore - they were going to be deleted forever after five seconds. That what i did wouldn't change anything anymore, they wouldn't make any difference.
I did not fear death. I liked life. I loved life. But well, all good things must end and when it ends then there is no me to feel the nostalgy. I understood that i had only feared the nostalgy for life not feared death. So, everything was okay.
There was no possibility of escaping. I was going to be bloody shot in two seconds. No difference what i did.
I just thought stoically: well, this is it. Goodbye and thanks for the fish. Fare well
If my hands hadn't been tied, I would have made a peace-sign.


But then i remembered that one of us had a chance of escaping. Then i understood that this was a dream and that i could escape by waking up.

I woke up. I wonder if i should have.


I find it kinda funny,
i find it kinda sad,
that the dreams in which i'm dying
are the best I've ever had.

[Pensive]

What a rhyme! :nod:

[Taliesin]

It comes from the soundtrack of a (brilliant) movie "Donnie Darko".
We'd like to suggest the movie to anyone who hasn't seen it.

[Basil]

I don't remember whose version is on the Donnie Darko soundtrack, but it was originally by Tears for Fears. The song is called "Mad World."

[papayahed]

I dreamed I was at work talking to some coworkers and I felt 2 guys come up behind me, I looked around and thought it was my ex-boss so I continued my conversation with my coworkers. I turned around again and realized it wasn't my ex-boss. The 2 men introduced themselves and told me they were from the Department of Health and Environment and they wanted to tour my plant. I said ok. I started to walk out on the shop floor then realized I needed to put on my steel toe shoes, I told the men to hold on and went to a door, I opened the door and it was my closet - I had the hardest time fnding my shoes but envetually I gave the men a tour. We stopped at a process and they asked me how it was done, I told them and they both looked at each other and shook there heads and said "Oh that's where the problem is occurring". Next thing I know my coworkers and I are waiting at a bus stop/train stop to go to a concert. Some unknown guy, but familiar, comes up and sits on the railing next to me and put his arm around me. The guy I have the hots for walks up, sees this and says "What's this about?" Then the alarm went off.

[Pensive]

Strange and interesting Dream! Well, dreams are always weird.

Hey papa, whats your occupation/job/profession? Do you work in something related to Health and Environment?

[papayahed]

I'm a Chemical Engineer. I deal with the department of Health and Environment in relation to Air Permits, Waste generation, Storm Water, lots of reports about the chemicals we have on site, etc. They can/have come in to do inspections. They're kinda like the state level EPA.

[papayahed]

Last night I had a weird dream (surprise, surprise). I know there's more to it but the only part I remember is that I was in a beauty shop dying Pete Rose's hair.

[papayahed]

hmmmmmm... It seems this has become my own personnal dream journal....


anyways last night I had a dream that I was in a pick up truck with a guy and his son (I think it was a friend of mine who is currently having trouble with his 13 year old - but I can't say for sure because I didn't really see faces) anyways we were going to pick up a pizza. The son says the pizza place is on the corner of a street we were pulling up to. We couldn't see it from the direction we were coming from but sure enough as we passed the corner there it was. The man kept driving, the son slightly indignant. We drove a few more blocks and pulled into a strip mall that had another pizza parlor. Ww walked in, we were only get salads at this place then go back to the first pizza joint. The salad bar was set up like a grocery store. While making my salad there was this large (as big as my head) potato/yam/squash looking thing - it seemed slightly obscene. Then I woke up.

[Stanislaw]

I had a weird dream the other night, I dreamt that I could speak italien, and could play the accordian. It was really weird, I also had something inthere about csi, it was pretty bizarre.

[Taliesin]

So:

We were supposed to have a game of dragon later on that day, but since some people needed to go on a competition (a competition where we should also have been asked to come, but somehow didn't which was kinda drag, but we swallowed it) so i killed time in a cafeteria. I was thinking over something and wasn't eating so the waiter probably thought i had finished and took the plate away (although half of the food was still yet to be eaten) and threw the food away.
We suddenly recognized it and went protesting. He was sorry but said that if we wanted to finish, we would have to buy another portion. We bought a half-portion and went back eating and we felt that it was unfair.
Well, we started thinking of something, and our gaze somehow wondered to the TV set that was hanged in a corner.
Now, we understood that the TV set was abnormal and here's why:
The TV-set was actually a box containing a giant lizards' eye. It filled the whole TV-set. It was watching us. And we knew that it was connected to the rest of the lizard, but that it was incorporeal and invisible.
We had to do something about all those eyes that were scattered throughout the city.
We knew that if molten iron was poured on those eyes, everything would be okay since it wouldn't see anymore.
The next thing we remember, we were in a helicopter hovering over urban wasteland where there were about eight smaller manholes and one bigger and in all those manholes were the living eyes of the giant lizard that were watching us. We only had molten iron for only four of those eyes, but we somehow managed to fill all those holes and since the wasteland was a lower area, we filled it with iron.
But then the lizard took corporeal form and the iron shield wasn't strong enough and it broke through. It was a really big one, but we felt that we had succeeded somehow.
Then the lizard swiped us out of the helicopter and we fell into a grassy canyon-like hole and we thought that we would die of the fall, but the edge of the hole was really a really steep stairs and we fell all the way down so it wasn't so bad although we were quite battered.
Don't remember anything after that.

Saving the world isn't easy business.

[Koa]

I incredibly remember a dream I had :eek:

I had to go to St. Petersburg but I had to change flight in Riga (Latvia) for some reason... and I was at the airport, supposedly in Riga, but I wasnt sure of where I was and I finally read the signs and posters to guess where I was by the language.
I think I eventually made it to St. Petersburg...:nod:

I hope this is a good omen for a 'project' of mine, although saying it out loud here might spoil it...

[papayahed]

I've been having this dream for a couple of nights now. I'm at work sort of and it's like a survivor episode sort of, I've already been kicked off and I'm hanging out at another location. Anyways I'm skateboarding (something I don't know how to do) near a river where there building all kinds of new homes and stuff. Then it becomes way to jumbly for me to describe.

[SleepyWitch]

the other night I had a really weirddream...
i was a member of some kind of crew or tribe or clan of weird people who fought evil witches and monsters in a medieval/fantasy world... the clan's leader was Patrick Stewart in a sort of barbarian outfit. we camped in a kind of attic, only it had two stories. i was on the lower one together with lots of weird fantasy warriors and the clan leader and some other folk were on the upper one. there were huge gaps between the planks of the floor though, so you could see through it... there was a crazy witch girl on the same floor as me and somehow i knew she was a traitor and wanted to kill the boss (Patrick). so I stayed up at night pretending to sleep and when the witch girl made to burst through the floor to go to the upper story i attacked her....
then the dream skipped ahead and I was the boss/ or another senior member of the clan.. we were in a battle against the foul monster creatures and i could shoot beams of energy out of the palms of my hands to kill them... We were right in the middle of a battle and I was trying to climb a kinda Renaissance style balcony. as I was clutching the rail i happened to look back over my shoulder and saw a deep ravine below me. it broadened at the end and there was a big city in the distance.. it looked like New York or Chicago around the end of the 19th century/ beginning of 20th c. and when I saw it i thought "home". One of the other good witches helped me climb the balcony and said "After this battle is finished, you can return to your own world"...

... *weird* it doesn't make too much sense, especially since I'm not from the U.S. and have never been there, so why should this city be home?
any ideas what this dream might mean????
i think it's got to do with the fact that I'Ve watched Inuyasha- The Movie and read The Chronicles of Narnia recently... :D

[Riesa]

Maybe it means that you are obsessed with Patrick Stewart? :lol: Darn, he never makes it into my dreams. ;)

what can this mean?
i have an idea but what do u think, anyone?

[RJbibliophil]

I had this dream last night or early this morning that there was this machine making a road in the middle of my property. It just rolled forward slowly on the grass and then there was an asphalt road. It went in the middle of my woods for no reason and I didn't like it.

[Virgil]

This is only a joke, but I thought it fit quite well in this thread, and it should serve as a warning to those who take dreams too seriously.



Dreaming

Pat did like he always does, kissing his wife, crawling into bed and falling asleep. Suddenly, he woke to find an elderly man standing in front of his bed. "What the hell are you doing in my bedroom and who are you?" he demanded. "This is not your bedroom," the man replied, "I am Saint Peter, and you are in heaven."

"WHAT? Are you saying I'm dead? I don't want to die, I'm too young", cried Pat. "If I'm dead, I want you to send me back!" "It's not that easy", said Saint Peter, "you can only return as a dog or a hen. Pat considered this, and figured being a dog could be too tiring, but a hen probably has a relaxed life. Running around with a rooster can't be that bad. "I want to return as a hen", Pat replied.

The next second, he found himself in a chicken run, very nicely feathered. But man, now "he" felt like the rear end was gonna blow. A nearby hen said, "Hey, you must be the new hen on the farm. How is it going?" "Well, it's okay I guess, but it feels like my rear end is gonna blow up."

"That's only ovulation. Have you never laid an egg before?" "No, how do I do that?" Pat asked. "Cluck twice, and then you push all you can." Pat clucked twice, pushed and then 'plop', an egg was on the ground.

"Wow" Pat said, "that felt really good!" So he clucked again and squeezed. And you better believe that there was yet another egg on the ground. The third time he clucked, he heard his wife shout: "Pat, for God's sake wake up. You're ****ting all over the bed!"


Sorry if that was a little gross. I still have tears of laughter rolling down my face.

[smilingtearz]

:lol:!!:lol:!!!!!!!!!
I always love the jokes he posts!

[Rachy]

I dreamt last night that I was at my friend's house and she was being chased by Zorro, who had killed the whole of her family and was back for her, a kind of sequel, n I was trying to find this room that she has in her bathroom that is kind of a hidden door so we could hide and I couldn't find it and she just sat there and didn't seem to care. I could feel him coming up behind me and thats when I forced myself to wake up.

[Green Lady]

I once had one of those dreams where you keep jumping perspectives. First I was the "damsel in distress" for lack of a better word whose betrothed had recently been murdered and his gentleman friends were trying to figure out who the murderer was while protecting me. It was sort of set in the victorian era so they were very chivalrous. It was night time and one of the men was watching over me while I slept. I suddenly switched perspectives and was now in the man's point of view but I felt detached like I was viewing a movie through him and his thoughts were the narration. It was trying to figure out who the murderer was, and he had just figured it out. He was thinking "It was him, it was him."

When he said that I was mentally yelling at him, sort of like when you yell at the screen when the person is about to open the door and you know there's a guy with an axe behind it waiting for them. I was just yelling, "Don't say that! People die when they say that in movies!" Just then I felt a presence and the guy whose perspective I was in died and I woke up.

[SleepyWitch]

Maybe it means that you are obsessed with Patrick Stewart? :lol:

uh? what makes you think that? :D ;)
well... i have been known to say things like "I saw Patrick Stewart act today. Shoot me, run me over with a car, do whatever you like to me. I don't care anymore, the dream of my life has come true."... but don't you think it's a bit drastic to call that "obsessed" :) I've known worse...
i wouldn't call it an obsesssion.. only a temporary reversal to (pre-)puberty behavioural patterns which may occassionally be triggered by watching his films etc....
I hope this, by no means exhaustive but perhaps exhausting, analysis of the difference between the two conditions has been of value
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :

I dunno, I don't think so, it was more like I was in a holding cell...

SleepyWitch: Of extreme value to ...umm, someone, I suppose. :lol: Did you happen to see the episode of Extras with him? He talks about his deep sexy voice, in his deep sexy voice, you'd ask for a sledgehammer to the head after, mayhap.

[papayahed]

I just remembered a dream I had last night. Again it has to do with work.. I was walking ouot of my office while another manager was walking in (the guy I'm not to crazy about) but he had his shorts pulled down and a long top on and he had his arms in his shirt with just his hands sticking out - he looked like a tall dwarf. His girlfriend was behind him doing the same thing. Then all of the sudden, that same manager, me, another manager were in an office and the second manager was lounging back on the top of a side table and we were drinking beer.

[Riesa]

hmmm. Interesting, what do you think it means? lots of contradictions, especially the 'tall dwarf' part. ;)

The last part sounds okay, maybe it's like imagining someone in their underwear to cure stage fright, and now that you've seen them looking silly, you feel like you can hang out and have a pint or two?

and Here's another picture for SleepyWitch, not that I didn't enjoy the search.

I think this is right before Papaya's picture was taken (http://tiggerroo.topcities.com/SexyMen/patrickstewart/PatrickStewart045.jpg)

[SleepyWitch]

You mean this Patrick Stewart?

nope, I meant the one with more clothes on :lol:

[Themis]

I know the last portion of the dream today revolved around a cow and a tractor. And I was there too, counting them and thinking about the law. Mostly saying things like "This paragraph applies" and , now that I think about it, really stupid things too. Sometime in the dream I was discussing the difference betweent intention and negligence (and still dreaming about cows!)
And, of course, making the wonderful comment that is just disturbing me a little for its silliness with that I woke up: "If there are six farmers, then they must all be jurors - if they're not into agriculture, that is."

are you studying Law by any chance? i seem to remember you're from Germany or somewhere around here (no offence if you're not).. well, if it's German law you're studying I can see why you end up having dreams like that

on the subject of cows, here's some pics of my fave type of cows... sorry i know it's slightly off-topic, but they're just too cute.

As for the cows, you are right - they are cute!

Last night I dreamt that I was going out running and it was cold so i had my hat and gloves and was pretty bundled up. As I was leaving my house I realized my hands were really warm, that's when I noticed I was holding a bowl of soup so I had to turn back home because I can't run with a bowl of soup. That's all I remember but I know there was more.

[smilingtearz]

somedays back... i dreamt of a giant octopus... sitting on my window and peeping in... i mean this is probably sounding funny... but the dream was scary, and my mum was sleeping in the same room, in the dream... and i was trying to pull the curtains so that the octopus wouldn't see my mum... it so resembled Beer good's avtar..

[woeful painter]

:cold: That's scary....

[AimusSage]

Did it perhaps have something to do with H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu?

i've been getting these series of scary dreams lately... i told my mum... but she just said pray before you go to sleep... but that's one thing i always do before going to sleep!

yesterday night it was about an earthquake... and i was trying to save my sister... i had to leave my dad behind.. something within me was telling me not to..
My mum was not there in the dream at all..
when i came back, the wall had broken off and fallen right where i left my dad..
I sat up crying and went to my parents room and kissed my dad...
The worst part is that i remember these dreams.. the details.. it's horrible!

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamed I was in a house in my old neighborhood. It was dusk and a group of men came up to the door. They wanted to come in but I wouldn't let them, the other people in the house and I went upstairs, one of the people was a chick on TV - I don't remember her name. Anyways, I walked back downstairs and their was a guy standing in the living room getting ready to leave. I asked him what he was doing and he said leaving. I didn't go downstairs but I knew the men who were trying to get in were in the basement running a crap game. Anyways the man left, as he was leaving my dog ran out of the house. My dog ran over to the neighbors and I got worried because my dog hated kids and she was over sniffing the kids. I went over to the neighbors and my dog was now a german shepard (she was a Lhasa Apso). I called her and she put her head on her paws. Then the alarm went off.

You should look up what these dreams mean, maybe your subconsious is trying to send your consious a message about something.

[smilingtearz]

don't say that!
the last thing i want to witness in reality is an earthquake or a giant octopus!!

[AimusSage]

Obviously it doesn't have a literal meaning! :) Maybe it's just some subconsious worries or fears, they don't have to be real, could just as well be imaginary fears and worries, with no basis in reality.

[ShoutGrace]

with no basis in reality

Wouldn't be a long shot with that one . . . :lol:

Last Night I dreamed that I went to a customer's shop (a customer from my old company). They were doing the yearly changing of the pistons and it was a big deal (that isn't something that that or any other company does). They give out prizes, it's like a big party really. Anyways my friend that did something crappy was also there. She kept winning prizes. They gave us all door prizes but a manager was coming around to the tables, when they got to my table they took away my prize and I was left with a sheet of paper. Then we met these 3 ladies, they seemed very nice. Then i was driving around my grandma's neighbor hood in a van/car and wound up in a parking lot. This guy was there and he seemed familiar, we were chatting then after a bit we were making out. He was kind of a hippie gy - generally not the type I go for. anyways a few minutes into it I hear a car pull up. The door slams and a lady says "What are you doing with my husband?" I turn and it's the three ladies from the party. I tried to explain that I didn't know this guy was married and he didn't have a ring on but they were still mad at me. The guy started walking off and the wife followed him.

First there was....dishonour.
Really, we don't know if it came first in time but it came first in meaning and intenseness.
There were three nobles, brothers in one house. One was middle-aged and could stare out of the window but there was something wrong about his smile and people were afraid of that window.
The second brother was younger, in his late twenties. He watched out of the edge of the window with one eye. It was hard to tell who seemed more wrong, he or his older brother.
And then there was the youngest brother, in his late teens. He had to keep in the shadows, away from the window. We do not know whether dishonour came from looking out of that window or if it was the reason why he couldn't watch out of the window.
The youngest brother was us.
We were a member of some small team, in some very strange championship. Each team had to put up a champion for every contest. 19th century. Fantasy.
The championship took place in many small coliseums, so small that you could jump across one in one good leap. The two competing teams watched from sides.
The coliseum floor was all ice. The air was grey, damp and cold. Only one of the teams could go to the next round, to the next coliseum. There was nothing for the other team.
Despite of being the dishonoured one, we were still a good skater. A bloody good skater and the first contest was skating race. We remember winning it. We remember cold looks from the judges who knew that we were a dishonoured person. There was ink on the ice and in the area where the rest of the teams were. Everyone was silent. Everyone was in the tones of dim blue.
We remember being advised to rest. We remember playing a game of chess. All the pieces on that board were black and so it ended up that we missed a few pieces. We took out our dice from our rucksack and put them on the board as pawns. There was ink on them. We don't remember the result of the game, only cold stares that disapproved the dirtyness and the ink.
So one of our friends had trouble with her computer and called us to repair it or to recieve some files or something. We did. We remember swimming in a cool ocean in the night away from the beach, in a little isolated place for us and my friends. There was peace and colour and warmness and no ink. The night was full of power and sensual beauty. Then it ended.
We remember being called back to that championship. We remember train station and trains covered in snow with thin lines of fallen ink on sides.
We remember running heavily and desperately and just arriving, on time, to see how a competitor of our team performed in ice dancing. He was a friend. We don't remember seeing him afterwards.
There were three goes for both teams in that ice dancing. Our team had the last chance left and we persuaded to be let to dance and compete despite being out of breath and having a small headache.
They let us. The music was a mix of estonian folk and metal but not the music of any known band. Our dance had anger inside, there were no fancy slides in it. It began with stamping our skated feet against the ice (ink came out) so that little sharp particles of ice flew into the audience and at us. The dance was like something shamans use to go into trance.
We are not sure whether we had a rapier in our right hand or if the only blades we had were on our feet. There was little actual violence really, no blood but the one that comes to your throat when you have run or swom or skied or skated much too longer than you can, the blood of endurance races that are too demanding for everybody, but there was violence in the ice, the disapproving cold eyes of the unseen judges, the ink, the colourlessness, the silence, the cruelness of the competition, the dishonour.
We don't know if we lost or not, but we didn't win. We saw the other team leaving through the winners door to the next coliseum when our dance was halfway through.
We don't think there were any other doors. There was just a cold inky suggestion in the paleness of the loss.
"What are you waiting for? You lost. There is no door for you. Can't you take a guess what you should do? For the sake of the honour you lost a long time ago and now?"


We don't remember anything after that.


Who was that man/boy whose body and mind we inhabited for one dream? It was not like us. Some 19th century young dishonoured noble who is bloody good with skates, rapier and computers. But not us. Somebody else. Somebody from that world of ink and coldness and bloodless violence of sport. Somebody who could probably survive there. We know that we couldn't.
Strange.

I had a dream that I was on the set of the "Three's company" TV show reunion. I was sitting there with John ritter and Joyce Dewitt. I don't remember talking about anything. I woke up and when I fell back asleep I dreamt I was in the ""Starsky and Hutch" car and the one guy was driving. I think I've gotten my 70's fix for the week.

[Pensive]

I dreamt of dream, a dreamy dream, about a dreamy dream who dreamt. Oh yeah, I dreamt that a Lion is passing through my bedroom window. Strange...

[amanda_isabel]

haven't had any dreams lately (or more scientifically, it's too deep a sleep to actually see it.) but the last one i had was our director saying something about me at our theater but i couldn't clearly get it... i think she was saying something about me being dedicated or something, but i do remember dreaming of trying to hide my smile when i heard it.

[AimusSage]

I dreamt we won the world cup! :D

The funny thing is that I've actually dreamt it twice now! If only that dream came true :)

[thevintagepiper]

I had a very bad dream this weekend....I went to a Highland Games to compete solo on the bagpipes, and my instructor picked me up late.....we got there right before my scheduled time, and then someone caught on fire (weird, I know) and we all had to leave! When everyone finally got back it was past my time. The judge was kind and said I could pipe anyway.
"I haven't tuned yet," I said (for that is a HUGE deal in piping)

"Whatever," he said. So I was freaking out and I messed up and didn't win anything in all three tunes :(

When I woke up I believed it at first and was worried because I have a competition on Saturday. Therefore, I've been terribly jittery all day.

[mono]

Last night I had a very odd dream of a young woman speaking to me frantically, but who only knew small fragments of English; now and then, she would proceed on tangents, talking in a language I did not recognize nor understand. Obviously she spoke of something very distressing, and I cannot remember what English fragments she said, but she seemed rather panicked, though we rested easily in a comfortable room.
Surprisingly, I remained very calm, and never spoke (as, oddly, I very, very seldom speak in my dreams), but listened attentively, desiring to help somehow, but particularly by listening (sometimes the best therapy that others require).

[WhimsySA]

The night before last I had the wierdest dream ever, it was nothing special, it was just wierd! I'll tell you what happened in it now:

We were staying in a house that had a large river that ran in front of it. My cousin had come with us (we were obviously on holiday). It was freeeeeeeeeezing cold, I know because we were all dressed up warmly! The house was near the Drakensberg Mountains which made it even colder because they had snow on them! As I looked over the river at the beautifull mountains, wishing I could go and ski on them, my cousin tugged on my arm and said to me, "Jade, I want a lilly pad!" she was looking up at me with pleading eyes so I looked for a lilly pad close to the water's edge (this is wierd because lillys only grow in almost stagnant water.). I found a little lilly pad near the edge so I picked it and held it out for her to take and guess what she said to me. Yep you guessed it, "That one is too small, please could you get a bigger one for me?" Now like I said before it was freeeeeeeeezing cold and all the bigger lilly pads were way in the middle of the river! So I crouched down and leaned in as far as I could and ...

I suddenly woke to the sound of a kettle boiling and the sea roaring in the distance!

Wierd hey!

[Madhuri]

these days I sleep soundly and dont have many dreams, but often I have had dreams that in some way or the other were reflected in daily routine, where I would suddenly feel that the whole situation or circumstance I have seen or felt before, as if I am very familiar with that particular surrounding.

[mono]

I meant to post in this thread earlier of a dream I had the other night.
For some reason, there always seems this unproven myth that one cannot read things while dreaming, but, in my dream, I remember reading some kind of book, and I could distinguish certain letters, words, and phrases. Out of all of the contents of the book, however, I could only distinguish the words 'summum bonum' (Latin for 'highest good') often toward the middle of each page. Strangely, whenever I looked away from the book, my vision would get very hazy and unclear, making me feel dizzy; I could only focus on the book held in my hands, making out only those words.
Weird, eh? :brow:

[Pensive]

Oh my Gosh, I saw a dream similar to this a few months ago. It was that I went to a shop and there I bought a book and when I reached home, I started to read the book and then I was saying (in dream) what a lovely book it was but then when I tried to look at the words, my vision got hazy and I could see nothing.

[caesar]

I just made a list of dreams that have recurred to me:

1. Falling into a dark deep pit but conscious that nothing’s going to happen, because it’s only a dream.

2. Leaping great distances from building to building (1 & 2 are sometimes mixed-up)

3. Fighting on the streets - I’m almost invincible. I just chop my opponents to pieces with a sword but I’ve never used a gun. I've been killed a few times and even buried.

4. People or animal/s are chasing me. Initially I’m scared and run for my life, but I realize that they can’t catch me, so I start taunting them. I really love dreams of this type. They are full of adventure. I’ve been to mysterious places, ancient palaces & castles, jungles, huge monuments, secret science laboratories, great hotels; and also, I’ve, sometimes, met famous people from the past and the present. Normally there are plenty of hiding places like secret tunnels, where I take refuge from my pursuers from time to time.

[papayahed]

Last night were some weird ones. I was at a house, it was like a communal house looking for something. I told this guy he had to go to my mom's house to pick something up, I kinda knew he would like my mom. Later on he texted messaged me to say that he liked my mom. Then we were at a outdoor ampitheatre but it was like dinner theatre and the White Stripes were giving a concert. Then there was a conga line.

[mono]

Last night, I had a rather creepy dream, but also very clear, which distinguished it so well.
Though I will not go into gruesome details, the dream involved a bow-and-arrow, a little accident, and my requirement to go to a hospital immediately. Somehow, all of it occurred in a house where I have never seen, and a married couple, who I presume lived there, told me they would take me to the hospital, for my obvious inability to drive; first, however, they said one had to shower and the other had to cut the front-lawn grass. I felt frustrated, said nothing, and waited.
For what time seemed endless, as I nearly bled myself to shock, and even felt light-headed and dizzy, I merely decided to walk to the hospital. I had no idea of the location of a hospital, and walked around a neighborhood I have never seen, but kept walking anyway, receiving odd remarks, gasps, and avoidance from others as I passed weakly.

Strange, strange, strange. :p

[RobinHood3000]

A bow and arrow? My apologies if I was involved...

[Idril]

I'm a ridiculously prolific dreamer, I couldn't even begin to count the number of dreams I have each night, mostly because I wake up, on an average, every hour or so during the night. :rolleyes: It's hell on the body and mind but it makes for some great dreams...or I guess I should say it helps me remember my great dreams. My dreams tend to be emotionally intense and vivid and when I'm taking certain medications, like Inderal, they become even more so, to the point where I usually decide I'm better off not taking the medicine. :p

I do have a couple recurring themes, houses is one, either I'm in a house that looks tiny or rundown but once inside it has all these hidden, beautiful and grand rooms that just go on forever or I'm in a house that I know but I'm not supposed to be in, like the house I grew up in or my childhood best friend's house and I'm there 'on the sly', hoping that the current residents won't discover I'm there.

The other recurring theme I have is celebrities, I have the most awesome, bizarre, random dreams about the most bizarre, random celebrities. I would be here all day if I mentioned even just the funniest ones, like the one where Rob Lowe was shrinking or Elijah Wood was wearing a dress or the time I was making out with Jesse Ventura but I will mention the last one I had which was last night, I was in a...I don't know where I was, something to do with my work, which is childcare and I ran into Tommy Stinson from the Replacements, a great alternative band from Minneapolis during the 80's. I loved Tommy Stinson when I was in my early 20's, absolutely loved him and I was so thrilled and utterly stunned to meet him there and I was so frustrated because the people I was with had no idea who he was and couldn't possibly unterstand just how awesome this was for me, they just kept looking at me like I was nuts. We were in this...I don't know what it was, maybe a convention hall for child care providers or something and he was being outrageous and obnoxious and I was trying to explain it was ok because he was Tommy Stinson but they weren't buying it...but finally, I ran into a friend who I've known since I was 3 and was well aquainted with my 'Tommy Stinson' phase and she was suitably pleased for me and then it morphed into this really odd travel/escape thing completely unrelated to rock gods of the 80's but I was content because someone finally acknowledged how awesome it all was for me. :D

Wow, I have never heard of that side-effect to Inderal, nor to any beta-blocker, for that matter, until researching it in my drug book. Very, very strange, but at least I learned something! :D
Hopefully, however, if the altered dreams bother you too much, you can get switched to a different medication, if required for any health conditions.

I remember my doctor telling me about this side-effect when he first prescribed the medicine, he was trying to explain what the dreams may be like and he finally said, "You'll know it if it happens, they'll be no doubt." and that is very true. I have Mitral Valve Prolapse, that's why I take it and when I start having those dreams, I get even less sleep than normal and lack of sleep...well...more than usual...is a consistant trigger for the MVP symptoms for me so I usually figure I'm better off just not taking it. I can tolerate it for awhile so if I'm having a particularly difficult time with the symptoms, I take it for a couple weeks and then quit. I'd rather deal with a few heart palpatations and adrenaline rushes than those dreams. :rolleyes:

[Taliesin]

We remember a fragment of a dream where somebody from this forum was talking to us. Perhaps it was an interview.

He/She: So, Tal, where do you think the best music schools are?
Us: In Hell.
He/She: Wy do you think so?
Us: Why, there are so many musical instruments down there! Look! (http://art.gothic.ru/paint/bosch/hell_2.jpg)

Hey Idril, your recurring dream seems quite similar to mine. Take a look at my list of recurring dreams - it's in the 414th post in page 28. Even I'm a very light sleeper. Even the slightest noise will awaken me. And, I also tend to wake up almost every half an hour. Just wanted to say glad to meet you. I may be having a similar problem. But I hate to consult a psychiatrist or even to think that I have a problem. :)

It took me a long time to really deal with the problem medically and even then, nothing really seems to help in any signficant way. I would start with a medical doctor first and then if they think a pyschiatrist is necessary, they'll refer you. It's really a game of hit or miss when dealing with sleeping problems, I've tried all kinds of medications from anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications to muscle relaxants to good old fashion sleeping pills and things usually work for awhile but eventually I end up in the same pattern of waking up every hour but maybe you'll have better luck, it's worth a try.

I had a great celebrity dream the other night, I was offering myself as a surrogate mother for Felicity Hoffman and Ben Affleck. :rolleyes:

[TEND]

Two nights ago I had an odd dream, that I can't recall in all it's detail but, the main part was some crazy woman in a blue or green summer dress was trying to get into my house, and I would not let her in. At first, I was sitting in my living room reading and there was a knock and this wild looking woman with unkempt hair and a dress that I can vividly remember every detail about except the colour was standing there and I don't remember what was said between us, but we were arguing, but basically she wanted into my house and I wouldn't let her, no violence broke out, but eventually I shut the door and went back to what I was doing. No sooner had I sat down that she had begun knocking again, this process repeated three or four times, when I shut her out and ignored the knocking, I went to the kitchen, and she was standing, staring through the window at me (Scared the hell outta me). So I went into my basement, where I knew there was no way she could see which room I was in, so I crept along into my room, and I was crouching behind my bed sort of using it as cover, and watching the small basement window I have and I saw the lady walking and stop directly at my window, and I can't really describe it, but she sort of descended, so when I could just see her feet through the window, slowly I could see her knees, than her waist, than her chest, than her face with the creepiest smile and just staring at me, not with contempt or hate, but just a blank stare, and eventually her head vanished and I woke up. The way she descended was so weird, because my window is about 4 inches off the ground, and the whole window is about a foot tall, the only way that could have worked was if she fell right through the Earth. Anyways thats one of the weirdest dreams I've had in a while, and I woke up quite frightened, and for two days, I"ve had this picture of this woman stuck in my mind.

Just thought I'd share.....:D Please comment if you would like, as I"m so confused as of right now, it was a very interesting dream though.

[Shalot]

I had this dream a few months ago but it disturbed me quite a bit:

I was staying at my mother's house for some unknown reason. The weird thing is that the house in the dream was not my mother's house in my real, waking life. In fact, this house from my dream was just that. I've never been there before in real life (never even seen it or thought about till this dream) but I knew that it was my mother's house the way you just kind of know things in dreams.

Anyway, my youngest brother was there and he was showing me my bedroom and he turned back the covers and told me that they were having a bug problem. And then this big spider crawled out of the sheets and started hopping around like a grasshopper or something but it was a spider. It was big and black and it was hopping really fast. Then it hopped out of sight. Then the spider came hopping back carrying a biscuit with two of it's legs. And I said "that is a strong spider" and I got a kitchen steak knife and started stabbing at it.

I stabbed it a few times and it started morphing and it turned into a wolf and then I stabbed it some more and it kept morphing and it finally morphed into a deer right about the time it died. And I felt really bad about that.

"Last night I had the strangest dream" :lol: "
First, I was at a party and Anthony Hopkins was there and I said something stupid like "Hi Tony, how are you?". He didn't know me and didn't seem to like being called Tony :) (have I mentioned I love Anthony Hopkins? almost as much as Patrick Stewart ;), bahhhawuahhh woohooo Toooooony:bawling: )
Then all of a sudden, I was in a building that looked like a mixture of an old library (18th c?) and a warehouse/ food court (?) at Harrods. It apparently belonged to a wealthy guy. They kept lots of pricy food and other items there but were clearing it and drawing up an inventory of the things they had sold.
The owner also had a son who was about 9 and looked just like him (black hair, slim, long nose, straight features). Both were dressed in a black suit and white shirt.
Some friends, whose faces I couldn't see, and me worked for them and the father supervised us. He said that I was doing good and keep going.
Then I woke up.
???????

[papayahed]

This one was a duezy.

I was in like a circus tent and I was looking at what seemd like a cross between an opera box and a crows nest. There were two people in the box but they had masks on. There was a group of us and we wlaked out of the tentand were were on a school campus of sorts. Then these monkey faced people appeared and my group kind of hid in an area of the campus because we knew they were looking for us and wanted to capture us. It was nightime so we all went to bed and in my dream I dreamed I was lying there and a good friend of mine appeared in a cot perpindicular to mine and started talking in a very serious voice. It seemed important but I couldn't make out what he was saying cause other people were talking then my alarm went off and I almost fell out of bed because I was sleeping on the very edge.

[ElissaDido]

Last night, I dreamt that there was this annoying brat whom I glared at to keep her from bothering me. Not long afterwards, she brought her brother. I also glared at the kid but then he started screaming that I hurt him. I sneered and said that he was attempting to rob me. I have no idea how that dream end. O.O

I had a whole series of odd dreams last night ...

Last night I dreamt that I was with my colleagues and I had started drinking (I don't drink), this group of guys gave me some whisky (sp?) and after drinking it I felt guilty and that what will my parents think of me when they know about this. A small dream.

It maybe because we are going on a trip and all the guys are planning on what drinks they will take, and they were telling me who drinks how much and all. And also that if I sleep with my mouth open they may pour some drink :rolleyes: Probably, this talk had some effect on my dream.

[Pensive]

Okay, here is what I dreamt:

I am in Taiz Gaam (it's a name of a train), and it's driving very fast. The train is passing over a bridge on River Indus. There is this woman who has a very little baby in her hands. She holds him out from the window as a game but then the little one falls down. As I see it all, I jump out from the window into the river - and the dream ends.

Oh there are many things in it that I found strange, but that's what my dreams are always like! You see there was Air Conditioner in the train but how can windows be open if it was there? And windows can't be big enough to let me out. They might be big enough for the baby, but not for me!

[the silent x]

i had a dream where the earth was gradually falling apart. the core of hte earth split and had sent a huge heatwave throught the entire world. the on the news channels, they said earth had ten yeras to live, at a certain time, electricity wouldn't work anymore because it was so hot, then out eyesight would become distorted and untrustworthy, then our hearing as well, there was no way to escape it, we were doomed and we shoul dmake the most of the next ten torturous years.

I have a twin brother and, if I remember correctly, we told each other about a dream we had once and they turned out nearly identical!

However, most of the time, I forget my dreams. I probably should keep a journal or something.

The scariest dream I've ever had was being swallowed by the sea. I had it about a month after we moved from San Diego to where I live now. I was on the beach standing on my surfboard....it seemed nice and everything, but as I was sitting on my board on the ocean, it flipped me and pulled me down...it was so scary...and I love the ocean, but it just wanted me to die or whatever.

One of the weirdest dreams was off my crush telling me he was actually 55 and not 20. It was so weird...I woke up and was like, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!":lol:

Hahahaha. Again, that is so weird.

I don't remember my dreams much, (Maybe because I hardly get enough sleep?) but maybe I'll remember my dream that I might have in a couple hours. *yawn* Off to bed...

[Lily Adams]

I had this dream last night (Yay, I remember!) where people were trying to drown me and if I was to live I had to answer a math problem. It was, "What is the average of 63 and 33?" Luckily I had my calculator watch, (and it was working, which doesn't make sense becuase I was in the water) which I guess I didn't really need for that simple of a problem. But someone was trying to tirck me by saying I had to divide by 12 instead of 2. :lol:

Whoever it was was also trying to drown Tor Johnson, (Grah! Too many Ed Wood movies!) and my friend. I think. They were drowning a whole slew of people.

That is one weird dream. :lol:

I dreamt Darth Vadar was looking for me and I was trying to avoid him, then I realized I could be invisible. I was worried that he would be able to see me anyways, you know that whole force thing but he couldn't.

The last dream I can remember was a few days ago. I dreamt that there was this terribly cold weather with LOTS of snow!!! Kind of like it used to be around here. Then I realized when I woke up that I had my fan on, and I was kind of cold from that. So, I don't know if that helped me to get those thoughts into my head at all!

A dream I've always liked was when a friend of a brother of mine dreamt about Ken Burns' Civil War. This happened when it was first shown on TV. He dreamt that all of the battle names were coming towards him (kind of like the credits for "Superman"). While that was happening, in the backgraound there were sounds of cannons and the battles were taking place at the same time. Dramatic!

[Demian]

I think one of the most curious things about dreams is how they evoke such powerful emotions over the oddest set of circumstances. When I was a child I remember having a dream about a long friendship I had with a sad circus clown. I remember him sitting me down at the end of the dream telling me that he would have to leave town soon and would never see me again. I awoke with the deepest sense of loss and regret over that--ah, clown. I also remember having a dream in which I awoke one morning to find that my mother had turned into Aunt Jemima. I pointed this out to her and she went to look at herself in the mirror. When she returned there was a frightening look of dread on her face with the realization that the whole Universe had seemed to suddenly go askew. Then I woke up with a startling sense of fear. I was afraid of Aunt Jemima.

Last night I dreamt of someone getting married from litnet. I don't remember the details, just that the person was someone from litnet and that both of them were from different countries. :D

See this is what happens when one is on litnet all the time, it's there in the dreams too :rolleyes: :D

The night before last I had a dream I met Andy Warhol except he looked like Wes Anderson wearing blue sunglasses.

And then last night I had a dream my friend and I were running around beating up zombies in a video-game like fashion. They took over the Earth, so I don't see why we didn't submit. I mean, I think it'd be pretty cool to be a zombie. Just in time for Halloween, though, huh? :p

I actually had my first litnet dream. the problem is that I couldn't post about it when it happened and now I have completely forgotten who it was about - all I remember is that I finally did have a dream about lit net. I guess that means that it has become a major part of my life. hmmm.....

I had a dream a few nights ago. For some reason somebody lead me onto an enclosed porched and tied me to a chair. Thoe porch had a tiled floor and part of it was caved in and there was a drain close to the cave in. Then a lrge black rat ran across the porch, then the rat climbed up the chair and was smelling me and I woke up.

Lately I have been having these horrible disturbed dreams. Nothing really happens in them except that I seem to move from one horrible situation to another. In the dreams I find myself with a face rash. One night, I had red peeling blisters all over my face and was trying to function as normal, but people kept asking me what was wrong with my face. And last night, my face was covered in some kind of red freckeled rash. And then I would just find myself in bad places, or doing things I hate or nothing would go right and I woke up both days with this overall bad feeling.

I captured a jinn[ in a bottle but then somebody opened that bottle and the jinn vanished away.

I was in the same situation. Now, everytime I wake up I usually try (almost effortlessly) to fall back asleep for a half an hour or so. I usually have a short dream in those thirty minutes or resume the dream that I just woke up from. I usually remember it after that.

I'm currently enrolled in a psychology class. We are now studying sleep and dreams which is very enlightening and, despite the teacher, interesting. I learned that we could have up to five dreams a night! I think most (80%) dreams take place in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Two nights ago I could have swore I had two dreams, but I could only remember one.

The most vivid dreams that I can recall are all nightmares, unfortunately. Or they are sad, such as the dread I had last night. My cat died in my dream (or nightmare, rather).

Last night I dreamed I was at some place like a mall/resort type place and I parked my car in somebodies dining room. They were slightly upset with me but i apologized profusely and they seemed ok with it. Then I was packing up to leave the owners of the dining room were helping me and we were all buddies. Then all of the sudden I got a phone call from a guy at work saying he didn't have coverage for the following day and that I should call _________, which is the screen name of a person on another website where I hang out.

Does anyone know what running in a dream means?
