Your Dreams

[SleepyWitch]

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.

thanks Dori :) I usually spend half an hour lazying around in bed between the time I wake up and get up. but I don't normally manage to go back to sleep, I'll just doze a bit.

[SleepyWitch]

oh my, I had my first litnet dream the other night.
I dreamt I was taking a walk with Countess! there was a river with funny rocks at its bank. they were greyish purple with glittery pink, green and yellow lines and Countess wanted to have a piece of those rocks, but they were made from styrofoam. then she talked very enthusiastically about Byron and her recent poem about him, which I have read but not commented on :blush: a unicorn jumped across the river and I felt kinda guilty for not commenting :)

[Countess]

Sleepy, what a great dream, and in color! Finally we have met, and over psychedelic river rocks no less. (-: I suppose those rocks are my words, which appear all shiny and pretty on the surface, but are really worthless nuggets that disintigrate in the eternal river, and the unicorn represents my hope of ever becoming a real writer. You really don't have a high opinion of me, do you? :lol:

But I jest.

The dream is about you, and I represent something in your psyche much like the rocks and unicorn (probably your insanity, lol). Seriously, you're the only one who can decipher meaning - is it the peace of your imagination, the insubstantial ether of capricious fantasy? The colored rocks, the unicorn - they all sound wonderfully romantic.

Or did you drink laudenum before bed again?

PS: Don't feel bad; no one has commented on that poem because (I suspect) no one understands it. But it makes perfectly good sense to me - then again, insane people usually understand their insanity.

[Countess]

Okay, now you shall all know how mad I really am.

Last night I dreamed I met Anthony Hopkins on this massive ship, and we were all there to watch this huge, giant white shark (the size of "the white whale" in Moby Dick) which had been discovered (and captured) in the region.

Somehow the shark broke out of his holding tank, and swam back and forth, using his tail fin to slice off parts of the ship so as to eat the people. Anthony became my protector and lover, and led me to the safest places (which was, really anyone's guess, because the shark had his own mind). When the last of the ship was sinking we managed to jump to another ship, and then another.

Soon the ships became fields of land and we ran (others were running too). I kept thinking "what's it going to do, grow legs and run after us?" But there were waterways parallel to the land, and the shark followed us. It mutated or something, and came after us, but we hid.

Then my son woke me up.

This is my nightly theme: a storyline of being chased by something threatening to consume me (usually it's demons). The night I stop running and surrender, is the night I suspect I'll die.

seriously? I dreamt about Anthony Hopkins, too, the night before last...:lol: a very old Anthony Hopkins with a big potbelly, not the younger one from Silence of the Lambs

Two quick thoughts about Dreams in general.
1. The Freudian notion that dreams represent suppressed
sexual desires has largely been discounted. The Jungian idea about archetypes still has followers, but that type of
dream interpretation isn't as trendy as it once was.
2. The news stories I've been seeing lately about dreams all seem to point to the theory that dreaming is a way for the brain to "keep house," or perhaps process information,
much like a PC does when it's in its "sleep" mode. I first read about that idea way back in the late 70s, early 80s in an article in Psychology Today. In that article, Sir Francis Crick (half of the Nobel-prize-winning duo who first came up with a model for the DNA molecule) believed that dreams are ways for us to form memories and maintain information. By the bye, one of the DNA team was also in recent news for making an inflammatory, insensitive remark about ethnicity. (I'm not sure which one it was, Watson or Crick. But either way, it doesn't necessarily mean that the DNA or the dream research is therefore invalid.)

oops, sorry Pensy, for some reason I thought the two threads were merged.. which they weren't of course

[papayahed]

I think I have a cold so I took some Nyquil last night AND I just finished Good Omens which may account for part of this dream.

So I dreamed I was a demon but it wasn't so bad because all I was doing was floating around and sort of teleporting to different people sometimes holding a tray of food. I was worried about being a demon but reasoned it wasn't so bad because I was human too and I really wasn't a demon. Then I was in an airport and was told I had to go into this shop to buy something (it was either a toy store or a candy shop) but once we got to our destination I could return it because I only needed it to get to the plane. Then my best friend and I were waitresses and she was holding a tray really high in the air and grabbed a full pitcher of water of a table, I took the water pitcher and handed it to another waitress and turned around and my best friend had the water again. It was so funny cause she was on her tippy toes holding up the tray....

Does anyone know what running in a dream means?

www.dreammoods.com (http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/r3.htm) says:


Running

To dream that you are running away from someone, indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.

To dream that you are trying to run but cannot make your feet move as fast as you want them to, signifies lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. It may also reflect your actual state of REM paralysis while in the dream state.

To dream that you are running alone, signifies that you will advance to a higher position and surpass your friends in the race for wealth. Alternatively, you may be running from some situation or from temptation.

To dream that you are running with others, signifies festive and prosperous times.

[TheDakrHunter]

My dreams are complicated cause I always have alot on my mind or have watched a movie before I want to bed. I mainly dream about adventures I can go on and the characters I have created. I had dreams about Vampires, Dragons, Fairies, End of the world type scenes and so on. I think my favorite will always be the one were I was in another world were it was dying and it was very surreal (like the art style), it reminded me a lot of Dali. Anyway I was saving them from a life of death and in the end it worked out. It was interesting because the characters were easily seen and I can hear them well. In normal dreams they sound like whispers but in this dream it was more realistic.

Sometimes I dream that I am shopping or working but I always try to bring element of interest into the dream like I own the shop or a monster is coming to get everyone. Something silly.

[Niamh]

hey thanks dori!

I had a nightmare yesterday morning that took me two hours to come out of, wake up from or realize it wasn't real. It was so awful; I've never cried because of a dream but yesterday I did.

[TheDakrHunter]

If anyone played the game My Sims for the Wii or for DS then you understand what I dreamed last night. I had a dream a long the lines of My Sims were I was wondering around towns and going on the fast speed boat to the entertainment zone. It was at first game like but it did manage to become realistic. I played with it and it was fun.

[crazefest456]

I had a bad dream (not a nightmare; something worse), and I tried to wake up, as anyone would. Then I dreamt that my eyes opened and my soul/spirit/whatever was floating above my body and then it fell inside my body. Then I really woke up. I was paralyzed with fear when I was floating above myself in my dream, but now that I think about it, I think that was the best dream I ever had.

[Silvia]

A few days ago I dreamt of a house, not mine, a house I have never seen before. The balcony had no railing, it was very little and bare and it looked dangerous to stand on it, whereas the bathroom was terrific...it was bright, clean,technological, so large, the WC looked like a seesaw and I remember I felt very comfortable and serene while I was there (actually, the bathroom is the place of a house I prefer...)

If it was worse than a nightmare, it was a sleep terror (according to my psychology textbook).

I had a dream that I was at the school library doing research on Russian history. :D

I've had dreams like that, that you think are really bad but somehow are good. The one I described in the post above, however, wasn't. I suppose it might be a sleep terror- I don't usually have nightmares, but this one I couldn't come out of for a couple hours (after I was awake I still thought it was real) and it made me cry and shook me up terribly, even though I eventually realized it wasn't real.

Dori, I researched a bit on sleep terror(with not too much of a reliable source-- Wiki :) )
Nikolai, your dream might be more like a night terror (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_terror)/sleep paralysis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis) than mine (possibly a lucid dream (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream) combined with a false awakening (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_awakening)) with more intensity, I'm sure. Doesn't it feel like you can't stop thinking about it for weeks? But I had something similar to your dream when I was 5 or 6:
I had a dream that my parents got divorced and that my mom remarried, and I was crying in the wedding. It took me a long time to wake up because I kept crying , and incidentally, my grandma was in the room so she kept praying in front of me so that I feel better and that I wake up eventually. When I woke up, I started calming down after a long while. My grandma didn't tell anyone of this; even till she died.

i lucid dream. i killed my family because there would be no consequences. beat that. its done. thread ended

[I AM JINX]

I have had many dreams about weird things, I have kill people I love and hate in dreams before, however I mostly dream about showers lately... I do not know why though... Last dream I had I was just looking at a shower head for about two hours fully dressed wondering why I was taller then it... I never quite understand my dreams.

[papayahed]

I had a dream that I was in the beauty salon, I don't remember going there I was just in the chair. I was kinda bending down looking at my shoes (brown with the white stripe) and the hair dresser said I could look up. I looked in the mirror and my hair was cut to above my shoulders and it was kinda in a bob. And I was like "OH I didn't know you were cutting it." But it look ok so I didn't fuss. Then a few dream minutes later I looked in the mirror and my hair was a little longer (about an inch below the shoulders) and had highlights.

Next I was looking in a catalog to redeem my credit card points and I came across a fake ipod that I was considering but it had a bunch of knobs and dials on it which seemed weird.

[papayahed]

Last Night I dreamt I was at work. I was standing near a ditch on our property but there was one of those big cement drain pipes near it. I heard a noise and looked up, flying really close to the ground was a plane, not just any plane but one of the planes that carry the space shuttle. The plane kinda bumped into a little hill and land really hard in a field. It didn't explode but it did come apart throwing debris everywhere.

Then I was walking into town to check out where the debris went and I ran into the plant supervisor from a previous job and she was talking about quiting. Then I found myself in a dorm room. Then I was with the maintenance supervisor and an FBI agent that looked like a young Donald Sutherland and we were going to look at the main crash site. I asked Maintenance guy what crashed and he said it was our material and I was like "No I saw what it was" and the FBI guy said no it was blah, blah, blah - cleary our material.

I had this terrible dream last night that I was at an art museum with my friend and she started drawing all over an Andy Warhol screenprint. The alarms went off and the guards came and AHHHHH. I felt so bad! I didn't want to be a witness nor did I want to see the work of art get ruined!

[LadyW]

I always have the most incredible dreams and I can usually remember them very clearly too. I've heard people talk of having the most bizzare dreams that dont directly relate to anything in their lives but mine tend to always reflect things I have been worrying about, thinking about... things that could've happen things that might happen. The only problem is, they tend to exacabate my worries further or make me think about things I don't really want on my mind. People I know in my life change in these dreams, sometimes they are so much... "better" than in reality; sometimes (especially people I love the most) change for the worse... I'd say the one dream that stood out in my mind was one I had not so long ago. It was a series of murders all over my hometown commited by this lunatic.. I wont explain it because it's too long. One thing did stick in my mind though; I was stood on the dark street with my Boyfriend and the killer came up behind him with a gun to his head. I was trying to move and stop it from happening but something wasnt letting me move, it was torture. So he fell to the floor and the killer left. It then skipped to like in the future and I was dressed formally in an office-type-place carrying some folders. The killer appears and I plead with him to shoot me dead there and then, quite content to die..and I did. Strange? Yes. I learn alot from my dreams.

Last night I had an extremely vivid (very realistic, very realistic) dream that Pete Burns was a crazy bum who ransacked the thrift stores of Los Angeles looking for the perfect outfit.

I had a bad dream (not a nightmare; something worse), and I tried to wake up, as anyone would.

I was paralyzed with fear when I was floating above myself in my dream, but now that I think about it, I think that was the best dream I ever had.

I've had a similar sort of a dream several times, not in recent past though. I can't recall it particularly well either. But my soul floated around the room for several minutes or seconds, dunno. My body was as if anesthetized, felt the immobility so powerfully. Pure terror.

[crazefest456]

I had that dream only once, so far...I thought it was some sort of sign (about a separate conscience of mine existing in an extradimensional space..)

Okay, I had the coolest dream last night! It was about my two fav detectives in Law&Order: SVU....
So Detective Stabler and Olivia were out exercising, and it was Olivia's turn to run to the "perp" (it was actually a frisbee on a tree..remember it was an exercise). So Olivia was running on the track and Stabler was giving her pointers on how she should run in a straight line, not zig-zaggy cuz the perp might see her and she was getting annoyed of him. SO she ran to the tree perfectly to show off and climbed up, above the frisbee and was looking down and from that view we saw olivia imagining that there was a real perp and she just cornered him...Then we saw Stabler say, "No, OLIVIA!!!" and we see her just staring at the perp. THen the camera zooms out and shows that she actually falls from the tree and dissappears in mid air. And then she appears again, and continues falling and then dissappears again with her childhood form falling, instead. Then Detective Stabler runs to the little Olivia and hugs her in worry.
Then Stabler goes to her parents to find out why that happened, because her dad was a shrink. And then we see the dad and her two brothers acting really goofy. The dad was eating cereal like a 5 year old kid and the two brothers looked old and bald just like the father. Stabler asked the father if he'd ever seen anything like this, and the father acted like it was a normal thing for anyone, like it wasn't a big deal.
And that's it, I woke up-- I think I dreamt this because I was hoping a law&order marathon would come on yesterday but it didn't...

[crazefest456]

Had another dream while I was taking a nap (with my homework next to me).
I dreamed that I was in school and my friend said "Hey, Let's go get our uniforms" and I said "okay" (I do anything for no reason). Then we went to the office and saw my former english teacher there and I said "Why do we have uniforms right now" and she says "Why wouldn't you? Do you wanna have a multi-colored graduation ceremony?" and I said "It's not that; we're not even supposed to be at school today!". And my teacher's eyes widened and I realized that, I actually knew I was dreaming all this and that since it's sunday, I'm not even supposed to be at school! So I yelled out a "YES!" and I quickly did the first thing that came into my mind and that was: BALLET. I knew it was a dream, so I could do anything that I wouldn't know how to do in real life. I knew I had control, and my dancing around the hallway made me the cognitive actor in the dream. Finally I had the chance to have fun. But then when I got to the end of the hallway (my school's small), I realized that everyone started doing their own thing and that they started singing and talking to their friends. I was left completely alone and once again, I had become the invisible narrator that we so often are in dreams.
Yup, and I woke up...But that's so cool, I got to play around in my dream and test the environs...And I know for sure that I saw everything in color.

My latest crazy one that I can fully remember: my friend was impregnated by a parasitic worm.

Later when I was awake I realized that would be a good headline for those sci-fi tabloids sold in the super markets.

I was in the Dickens section on a thread about Great Expectations and suddenly remembered this weird dream that I had when I was studying at Cambridge for a couple of weeks my last summer before I graduated. I wrote it all down in my journal. (Dr. Foyles was one of my instructors. He's sort of an architectural archeologist. Also the maze is the one from Hampton Court)


I must break here to write about this strange dream I've just had. I was taking a nap on this second Monday here, and as I had fallen asleep reading Great Expectations, I dreamed that Jaggers and I were dodging the English guards for some reason and that he found me a place to stay in an RV in a parking lot though I never saw the inside of it. One morning I found out that he had been arrested and while inquiring about it I was arrested too. I was put into a rather medieval looking prison that had its jail cells surrounding a chapel. For some reason, I was allowed to roam around though I couldn't leave the building. There were several priests walking around aimlessly chanting Latin, then, partly in defiance of the Catholic faith and partly because I was thirsty, I ran around drinking up all the holy water cups that were attached to all the post all over the chapel. And though I felt that I was in the middle ages, each cup had a plastic insert, like at Saint Patrick's, so that I didn't have to lap at the water like a dog. One of the higher priests was chasing after me matter-of-factly, all the time chanting his Latin. Instead of being thrown into one of the cells, I was allowed to be part of Dr. Foyle's tour of the dungeon. He was pointing out all the different details of the architecture of the chapel and I kept hearing recorded harp music. I noticed somewhat of a harp but I really don't remember the shape of it. All I remember is that there were ten strings pushed up close to a picture of a peacock. I sat down and tried to play the left hand accompaniment to the song that I was hearing, which sounded like it could've been part of the soundtrack to the maze yesterday. I was having trouble because the picture kept getting in the way of my fingers, and Dr. Foyle was walking around, very disinterested in my music.

The other day, I watched a play done by these extremely talented students, 'Darcula'
it was creative n all,
the creepy chic that played the psycho in the NutyyHouse

[Pensive]

I die trying to save my family, and later my husband doesn't re-marry and there are the lives of my kids, whole dialogues which go like a story.

A very funny dream. Never had any of this kind before, as far as I remember.

[pussnboots]

last night I dreamt that my husband cleaned his study. It was so clean I could see the floor. I said to myself what the hell happened ? All his books were neatly put away, no mail on the floor, it was just immacculate. Of course when I woke up this morning the first thing I did was go into the study and sure enough it was only a dream. I knew it was too good to be true.

[bouquin]

Last night I dreamt that burglars came into the house and took off with the earrings that my mother gave me!

[SleepyWitch]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh :flare:
tonight my hubby and me both woke up around 5 a.m.. we had both dreamed of my thesis. he helped me a bit yesterday, counting examples for the appendix. He had to look at different sentences with "make a start", "make a statement", "make a decision" in them and when he woke up he was like "my head is spinning, I keep thinking 'decision about' 'decision to', 'make a start', 'make a start on' 'make a start with'". Plus, his ears were buzzing with Iron Maiden, because I listened to Iron Maiden while working (with headphones):
The funny thing is, I woke up at the same time and I was exactly the same, Iron Maiden and "make a decision" etc fighting for attention in my head...

then I tried to go back to sleep and while I lay there (still more or less awake), I saw myself sitting in the prof's office for his office hours. it occurred to me that there should be four of me, because the words I studied had 4 forms (make/made/makes/making a decision). So I split myself up into four. it didn't really work and I was only 1 again and I thought "hey this so wrong, there really need to be 4 of you" and I split myself up again and this time it worked. this was while I was still awake and feeling totally lucid :eek:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar rghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I had the most horrible dream. I dreamed that I was about to be overdrawn on my bank account, so I rushed to the bank, which for some reason, was closing at midnight instead of at a normal time. I was going to try to take out a cash advance on a credit card and put the cash in my bank account so that I wouldn't get hit with overdraft fees and insufficient funds fees and I had all these bank statements and inter-office mailing envelopes and all kinds of crap in my hands.

I waited in line FOREVER. The bank was a thug bank and it was set up in a gymnasium that had been converted to a bank and there were all these seedy characters in saggy pants waiting in line to do their transactions. There was some kind of drug deal going on in the corner and I realized that I had forgotten something I needed to do my transaction.

So, my husband materializes to wait in line for me while I go to my truck to get the rest of my paperwork. So, I go look for my truck and I keep walking up to what I think is my truck and then I realize that it's the wrong model or they don't have the same vanity tags, and I can't remember where I parked at all. So I keep walking up to all these green trucks realizing that I'm not at the right truck, when I remember that I don't even have a green truck. Mine is black and I am panicking because I know the bank is about to close and I don't want to be accosted by all the criminals in the parking garage.

When I finally reach my truck, there is an explosion above my head, but I get my papers out before my truck catches on fire. But, since I know that my truck is insured I am not real worried about that, and I get back in line at the bank so that I can make my transaction. And then I woke up. What a crappy dream.

[SleepyWitch]

that sounds really scary Shalot :(

I very often dream of being in an elevator that just keeps on going and going and never stops at where I want to get off.

Last night I dreamt of Herna Belle, my room-mate from college. She was smiling at me; her face looked more plump.

[NikolaiI]

I have wonderful dreams which I sometimes remember.

I dream of my wife and of eternal moments. I dream of sunshine and open space and country, and all sorts of different weathers and climes and environs.

[papayahed]

ack!!!! Last night I had a dream about work. I was at work but for some reason there were cabins attached to the work site and we all stayed in these cabins. I was looking at a sheet of paper with a coworker, lets call him Pete (He is the head person at the site, he is not my boss but I have responsibility to him). As were are looking at the paper He then kissed me, the kiss wasn't a romantic kiss in any way, and took that as a sign to go further so he took off his cloths and was standing there naked. It was in a common room and I was worried about other people seeing this so I pushed him into my room. I turned to close the door and to make sure no one else saw but as I was looking into the hallway I saw another coworker close his door. This coworker could be a troublemaker for Pete, that worried me. I turn back to the bedroom and Pete's in my bed - naked still. I explained I didn't want to sleep with him, at least not at that time (I was trying not to be mean), besides coworker saw everything and no offense but he had to go. He understood completely and we both walked out the other door onto a deck that lead to a lake. And that was the dream.

It's gonna be weird when Pete comes in, after all I saw him naked!!!

[Shalot]

he he papaya -my husband was once mad at me (for real) about something I did to him in his own dreams. Dreams are screwy. Are there any Jung experts out there who could explain the meaning of my dream?

I dreamed I was getting a tire changed at an off-the-road gas station/nightclub variety business. My old flame was working there at that gas station pumping gas. He was wearing a hula skirt, and so were the other employees. I must have been on my way to Hawaii, but the dream was really about the old flame in the hula skirt. He was nicer to me than he had ever been and invited me to a back room, where he started taking drugs. We talked awhile, and the two of us came to the decision that the timing on our relationship was off, and maybe in another life it could have worked.

Then I set off on my task, which was to deal with meth addicts and their meth mouths.

I woke up thinking about that old Garth Brooks song that does something along the lins of "What's she doing now." Though, in my case, it would be "What's he doing now, it's tearing me apart..."

Then got out of bed, and went about my day and thougt about the old flame a lot. Dreams are evil. I want to thank them for rubbing it all in.

[papayahed]

maybe the dream is showing you how much better off you are now?

[LadyW]

Recently I have had dreams about romantic attachments to people that I barely know...or donot see anymore. But in my dreams I appear to know them very well, and their characters are somewhat improved. Grrr, get out of my dreams! :lol:

[Remarkable]

I saw last night the very strangest of dreams.I don't remember it very well,but it involved the one I love.It was a part where,after talking something happened and we kissed and he said he loved me,but then he left and said we were going to meet the next day.He left me at a hotel I was sleeping and I was there with two other girls that love him(one of them I know for real because she does love him but the other was a complete stranger).Then he left.
Some times later,that other girl that loved him peaked out of the hotel's glass door(it was even a rainy night,very wet)and saw this woman that we knew in the dream who was in her expensive black car.She continued to drive and when she returned,he was in the passanger seat(she had apperently picked him up from his hotel).Then,I continued to see the dream as a third party,where I was no longer me.He went to a wooden house(we must have been in a village)and there had a conversation with a girl that was very cute but obviously not very intelligent or intellectual.She was smiling in a strange way and I think they were talking about an affair.They seemed to be lovers but one of them had conquered the other.I think they were making a conspiracy.After I woke up,I did have the feeling that he was wrong and had done something immoral(not physically).He seemed to have been evil(while he isn't,I know him well enough to say that).I really don't remember this dream very well,but it was so absolutely strange and I don't understand it at all..

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamt that I cut my hair. It was all short and spiky and I looked in the mirror and it completely changed my face. I could live with my hair but I wanted my face back.

[papayahed]

I've been quite prolific lately. Last night I had a fe dreams, first I dreamed I was trying on some shoes, teva type shoes, and they were really comfortable but damn ugly and I was trying to decide if I could ear them in public.

Next I dreamed I was in someone elses house and there was a huge roach that I tried to step on but my shoes were flimsy and I couldn't crush the thing all the way, I went to tell the owners ho were in a theater watching auditions.

[papayahed]

Last Night:

I first dreamt that we had built an identical office building next to our new control center building and we had three new people moving into them and I still didn't have an office, these new people were carrying in boxes and I was like huh?

Then I dreamt a very large woman in a lab coat was building a large metal cube right next to our drainage ditch. A maintenance guy came up to me and said it wasn't safe to clean out the ditch and I asked him why and he said because she's there (talking about the large woman) so I told him to start at the other end.

Then I dreamt I was napping in my car, I got up, exited the car and I was on a city street and people were sitting on their stoops watching me. I brushed off my clothes and straightened them and walked down the street.

This one is a doosie:

I dreamt the Zombies were invading, my mom and I were packing to make a run for it. There were other people in the house but I don't know who they were, they were all packing too. We packed and got into a bright yellow mustang at some point we were not in the car and the zombies were all over the place. We learned that if you walked and moved like zombies they ignored you.

I dreamed this a while ago, but since this thread has been bumped up, I thought I would post it:

I dreamed my mother and I were downtown on the roof of one of the towers we work in (I work at the same place as my mother). It was necessary (life or death) for us to jump from one tower to the next to be saved. I jumped and was telling my mother to come on from the other tower, but she said "you go on now" and that was it. I hate that dream.

Also, a long time ago, I dreamed that my home had been invaded by bad people with machine guns. My mom and I went out on the patio, and they were going to shoot her, but I really didn't want that to happen, and the patio swirled up and saved her. It was a reality shift I think. But the patio swirling moved her out of danger and then it was fine. Weird. Where's Freud? Wonder what he would have to say about that.

i dreamed i was a host of the lonely planet

[papayahed]

My first dream was that I took out the strawberries I got from work and they were fuzzy.

Then I had a dream that I was with a group of around 5 people and were in what kinda looked like a military base, in the lunch room we walked outside and a helicopter was about to land but it was on it's side but nobody seemed to be worried about it until it got close to the ground and pieces started flying off, then we were told to get down.

[Elly_blue]

Lately I´ve been having the same dream.
I´m aware of the fact that I´m dreaming, but somehow I just can´t wake up...and troughout the entire dream I´m trying to wake myself up . :confused: very weird

A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book.
Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.

my mission in life is to die and my dream is too die in my room

[djy78usa]

Does anyone else ever have dreams where you get so mad in the dream that you are still angry when you wake up?

The other night I dreamt that I was staying in a hotel and was awoken by someone else's alarm clock beeping. I got out of bed and started walking down the hall to try to find the culprit's room. The volume of the beeping never changed, so I could not figure out where it was coming from. I began kicking down every door in the hallway, looking for the alarm clock, but I couldn't find it. When I woke up, I was still fightin' mad. It took me a few minutes to realize what was going on and calm myself back down.

[blazeofglory]

This was an old thread too, but I love talking about dreams, so nyah. If you have a new dream, or an old one to talk about, or just something in general about your dreaming habits, this is the place to put it.

I will go for a long time without having a memorable dream, then a week or two straight of like two a night, then none again for months. I can usually recognize where all the things in the dream came from, in my waking life. I don't think I've had too many good ones... maybe two or three in my lifetime. Or at least those aren't the ones I remember. Or maybe it just says something about my life. :rolleyes:

When I was little I had falling dreams a lot. Even non-falling dreams ended with me waking up to that falling-jolt. Also when I would start drifting off to sleep, all of a sudden I'd feel like someone shook the edge of my mattress. One time I thought I still had my eyes open, looking at the light of the open door, and all of a sudden there was this bald, androgenous, calm figure in the doorway. It walked silently over, sat on the edge of my bed, and looked into my face. Then I woke up and realized I had fallen asleep.

Most of my dreams are either overtly scary, or just pervaded by a strong sense of dread and weirdness. Only a couple of times, in recent years, have I actually woken up because of them. When I was little it was all mummies and corpses and skeletons -- the first dream I ever remembered was when I was two, and a skeleton was chasing my mother and me around in the library, and I tried to save her, and it bit my arm and latched on there. In recent years I've written whole books and symphonies, only to wake to realize that they were the lamest nursery-rhymey things ever. :p

Okay, so obviously I have a lot to say. :D As always. But I'll shut up for now. I want to hear about everyone else's.

I have amazing dreams, and I can not synchronize it with reality.

[Pensive]

Some days back I had an internet-related dream in which I found myself instant-messaging with a contact (a lit-net member) and I got really angry at that person which resulted in me using some really offensive terms. So maybe it's better not to disclose who that person was. :p

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamt (I think it was a dream) that a being (it was human form but not exactly there, like an opaque cloudy form) came into my room and sat on my chest and pinned my arms down. I could barely make my arms move to push the being off but I tried really hard and was able to start pushing once my hands were able to move I could squeeze the being and that seemed to make it weak until it final got small and flew out the door.

[Taliesin]

So, there was some old acquaintance who had a child, a small son of about four or five years old. He was talking to his friend near a car a bit further and I was watching the child. He took a match from some edge and started playing with it on some newspaper.
"Er, does your father allow you to play with this?" I asked and took the match away.
Then he took a lighter from his pocket and I reckoned that if he has a lighter, his father probably gave it to him which means that that the father is okay with his son playing with fire and it is okay for him to play with it. So I watched as he set the newspaper on fire.
Then I suddenly saw how the leaves of the apple-trees in my back yard started to burn away. They didn't burn with a flame, but like some kind of paper sometimes burns - a hot edge starts crawling over the paper leaving everything it passes into ash.
Then I realised that this cannot be real and it must be a dream and I woke up. Well, at least it seemed to me I woke up.
Now, I am not certain what happened in the next dream level since that dream took place quite a long time ago, anyhow, in that level of the dream I met someone, I think it was some girl and then I understood that firstly, this level was also a dream, and secondly, and more importantly, that I was chasing someone over the levels of the dreams. Then, of course I woke to the next level before I could capture the girl who was the incarnation of the hunted person in that level.
In the next level I managed to see the person quite early on and me and my friends gave chase to him/her. It took quite a long time but we were still following him/her although we didn't catch him/her.
So, we reached a place where the trail went up and where we had to vlimb up the ladder. The girls went up first. Me and G. were supposed to follow them. The ladder was quite weak so only one person at a time used it.
When the girls were up and I started to climb up, G said:"Taliesin." Just that, nothing more.
I turned my head. And understood. He stood there, with his big puppy eyes, looked at me with a small grin and then I knew - it was him. He was the person we had been hunting, the incarnation of the creature.
Then I woke up. For good.
I still felt weird through the whole following day.

Wow Tal! Pretty complex but one can refer these to be very 'symbolic' especially if she/he happens to be the reader of this unit in magazine in which they recommend meanings for dreams (not that I believe in them of course but still it's fun for e.g. there was this dream in which a girl said she had lice in her hair and she was told that there was a parasite in her home:p). :p Hmmmm let's say what that guy would say now.....hmmm maybe something positive....like 'G' is what you are looking for and finally your search for a marriage partner is over. Looking at that 'one more' stair reference, you have maybe won his heart too or something and all is well and good for you. Damn it they mostly seem to associate the meanings of dreams with marriage partners in the magazine. Don't know why though. :p

Was just acting the magazine guru part.

*edit to add*

What might the magazine guru say about my dream I wonder....but it happens to be pretty boring actually and brief too. I was examining a book that a lizard fell out of it and I shrieked. That's it.

I dreamed of Zombies again. I was in the neighborhood that I grew up in and it was nightime. There were three of us but i don't know who the other two were. We were walking down an alley and decide to break into the neighbors house and it was immaculate - just like I always thought it would be then my mom called she was driving to some event and I told her to be careful. Next it cuts to a shoe store/dress shop where me and another group were picking out bridesmaids dresses. The mother and aunt of the bride were there and kind of directing what we were going to get. Kwame Kilpatrick (the embattles mayor of Detroit) and some semi famous football couch were also in the dress shop, they were sitting at a bar? in the middle of the shop, they were worried about the zombies and if the football game was still going to take place.


(I just checked - first mention of zombies in my dreams was in 2004)

[Leo The Lion]

I had two very vivid dreams last night. In one of them, I was at a friends house, showing him a short story I had just recently finished. We ended up getting into a very heated argument because he told me that he didn't like the story because I had used to many pronouns..(I know, don't ask me).

My second dream emotionally moved me, especially upon awakening.
It was very distorted. I was driving down a road, but the road was full of buildings and stores that you had to drive through to get to your destination. In one of them, I noticed this girl that I had english with in 11th grade. She was standing with her boyfriend, and I stopped and talked to her. From their we ended up on a bus, driving down the road, and once again stopped at a gas station. We went inside and their were sofas, and chairs everywhere. Her boyfriend dissappeared somewhere in the middle of this, and she sat next to me, putting her arm around me and kissed me on the cheek.
I'm sure that their are details that i'm leaving out.
Every few months I'll have a dream about this girl, and it's odd because I wasn't even friends with her. I talked to her every now and then, but nothing more. I had no concious 'crush' on her, or anything to that nature. I'm friends with her online, but never talk to her. I wish I knew something about dream analysis, or why I would be having these dreams about a girl I haven't seen in almost three years.

[Dinglingzi]

my dream...to be a time traveller...~let me back to those scenes of my precious memories~

[papayahed]

I dreamt I was walking with my brother on some road. We were reading that a couple miles away was the spot where bonnie and clyde were gunned down but then someone said we were in illinois. Then we came to a familiar bar. We went inside and the brothers girlfriend was there. The bar had these machines, kinda like jet packs where you put them on and could fly around a bit except it wasn't a jet pack more like a small box with vents and two antenae that you strap to your back. The girlfriend and I signed up for the packs and off I went it, it wasn't like flying but more like very giant leaps - above trees for a couple hundred feet. The girlfriend was afraid to try (she looked like farrah fawcett) then we were back in the bar. Brother was mad about something and stormed out so I followed. He was yelling about not wanting to do his job and I asked him what he wanted to be and he said an engineer. I asked him why doesn't he go back to school he replied i don't want to go to school. We were walking up to our parents house and there was a junk yard next door. My brother (who looked like jeff foxworthy) hopped in an old green pickup truck with his friend, not the girlfriend and stoled it. I went into my parents house and it was a cross between a hobbit house and the keebler elf treehouse. I walk in and my parents are yelling at me to call my husband and kids because they're worried. I don't want to because I have to tell my husband I'm leaving him. I walk in my room and one of those jet packs is sitting on a chair and I blame my brother for stealing it. I get ready to make the call and look under the door and see my my mom standing there easdropping.

Weird.

[papayahed]

Last Night: I dreamt that I was entered into a 5k afterwards there was a party at a downtown bar near the finish line. I decided not to go because I was still in my running outfit. It's a good thing I didn't go because everyone else changed into real clothes. Then I was at a John Mayer concert, it was at a small auditorium which was only 3/4 full. We could smell illegal substances. Then we were driving home at a light I pull up to my coworkers and a contractor (they were in the same truck). They had all the windows open and could barely keep their eyes open because of the illegal substances from the concert. I asked them if they were serious? The people in my truck and I were all perfectly fine. (What's with all the trucks??)

[papayahed]

This time I was with 4-5 other faceless, nameless friends in a store like TJ Maxx. Two friends were standing in line and the rest of us were sitting on a bench waiting for them. Either a security guard was nearby or talking to us and someone said something about a price tag and I said "Yeah the price tag I go from your butt". The security guard then jumped up and got management and they were reprimanding me for saying that. When a friend standing in line exclaimed "This is bull****" and thats when management told us to sit down because they were calling the police. Then I woke up I tried to go back to sleep to see how the story ended but my alarm went off..

I had a nightmare about my fall classes.

Tomorrow is my first day of fall classes. I couldn't find anything that worked out with my work schedule, so I am taking all night classes, which means there will be days when I will leave the house at 7 a.m. and won't get home until 9:30 pm or later.

Anyway, the night before last, I dreamed that it was tomorrow, and I hadn't purchased my books yet, and I got a ride to the campus to buy my books. I couldn't drive myself because the tires on my truck had burst into flames. My ride was in a hurry, so after purchasing the books, we quickly left the campus and I went home. While sitting at home, I remembered that I actually had class, so I started walking to the campus. The thing about my school is that there are three different class locations in town alone (there's a fourth in another county). I started walking to one of the locations, which is in the worst part of town and I didn't like walking on those streets. Also, there were more crazy drivers skidding off the rode because their tires were bursting into flames.

I kept walking and eventually got to the campus, which in my dream, resembled the public high school I attended when I was a sophomore. I realized as soon as I got there that I was looking at last semester's schedule and that I was at the wrong campus all together. I look at the time and realize that I was already 30 minutes late for class, and I wondered if I could catch the last hour if I start walking to the correct campus.

But, I really needed to go to the bathroom first, so I start looking for bathrooms but I can't find a bathroom. I go up a flight of stairs and find a lounge. I open the door to a huge area complete with comfortable couches, book cases, a giant pool and spa, workout equipment, a kitchen and several instructors and professors hanging out. One of the professors is bearded and is wearing only sweatpants because he had been working out and was headed for the shower. I explain my predicament to him and tell him that I need to use the faculty lounge because I couldn't find a bathroom , and he steps away and laughs at me, and I look down only to realize that I am not wearing a shirt.

Needless to say, I woke up in a panic. The good news is that I already have my textbooks and I am going out later to restock my paper and pencils and I am packing my bag so that it will be ready for me when I leave for work tomorrow. What a bad dream. This one is as bad as the one where I went to work without pants.

And I don't know what's up wiht the tires - I just bought all new tires. It was costly. Maybe it's a symbol for burning money.

I dreamt I had a fridge full of Papaya (the fruit, ofcourse), and that is all what I saw in the dream.

[blazeofglory]

Man is a stupid being. In fact we lie and truths go unsaid more often than not. We keep on rationalizing things, that means to say we are opinionated or we are busy with opining things, and things are not or do not go the way we rationalize them. We mask ourselves and hide our real shelves and we unwittingly or without knowing our real natures do think funnily.

Dreams tell us who we are, the ones we are. I try often to associate things of dreams with real life situations but we failfai

[InspireMe]

oooh, interesting thread. i love dreams! i have them frequently, sometimes mulitple in one night!
my dream felt very long last night, but i can only recall bits and pieces because the moment i wake up, i begin to forget what happened unless i write it down. so from what i can remember, i dreamed i was awake in bed staring at a corner of my ceiling. suddenly i noticed a patch of black that seemed peculiar to me for it was increasing in size. focusing more intently on the black patch, i realized it was a mass of black ants along my ceiling! they rushed along the top of my wall and began climbing down the window and spread out all along my bookcase. of course i panicked and with a magazine i began swatting and slapping in every direction in order to kill the ants. i was so disgusted i couldn't even look at the magazine, horrified at what it must look like with all the squished bugs on it. however the ants kept pouring in and all i could do was swap away. the ants began growing larger in size! i remember i was whacking a huge gathering of them on the windowsill but they kept ducking and avoiding my attacks.

that's all i remember :/
i woke up in the middle of my dream. thankfully! that dream gave me the shivers.

[clumsy angelle]

I have always dreamt of flying or stumbling. However, my most unforgettable dream is one wherein someone is trying to kill me. I hid from that person and when he almost saw me in the cabinet, I flew. Then I realized that if life seems dark, I can fly and free myself from all the chaos in the world;)

[blazeofglory]

I often see wild dreams and I get lost to a world and that are really mysterious. I often have an inspiring dream and I write things out of inspiration many a time.

Life is so short and if it is not for dreams it becomes boring and dull. I really enjoy dreaming.

I beleive dreams offset all our problems and oddities or something we can not cope with in life, in the ordinary course of living.

Dreams vitalize us and transport us to a world of fancy and wilderness.

[wilbur lim]

Dreams are invaluable and tranquil,I dream of anything.

[papayahed]

I was in a hostel-like place and we were going to a car race. Someone was lecturing about drinking and driving from a hole in the ceiling. Then a group went to the bar, we ordered a few shots and drinks it was $45 and I paid for it with a credit card and I got change back and I was like huh? the bartender said they return tax and tip in cash and it's up to me to repay so I gave him $5. There was a bunch of people at the table including the people from the tv show "How I met your Mother" except Barney (Darn shame). We ordered food. They brought over a tray with our meals and left it on the bar / cooks window. I got up and started passing out the plates. Mine was missing. I asked the bartender and he got super mad because we were getting crappy service from the start. He stormed off to talk to the waiter but then turned back to the kitchen and saw my food laying on a baking sheet on the floor. He put it in the oven and said it would be ten minutes and started walking away. I was like hey wait a minute, the bartender turned around and I said never mind. I sat back down at my table and was like "What the heck, I'm not eating food that was sitting on the floor" then I woke up.

[Annamariah]

In my dream I was back in high school and we were doing another musical. It was great, I've really missed those musicals.

[Judas130]

If I had had a dream this is what it would have been:
I am a frog with a top hat wearing a cream colored tablecloth draped over my shoulder, that magically changes sizes whenever I need to get bigger, which I do frequently. As to my frog capabilities, I have the radical ability to not jump as my fellow frogs but to sashay round dance floors in a tango that would drop dead anyone in my path. In fact many frogs end up being dead, and in reality, the reality of this dream, they are really all cane toads and thier deaths are caused by cars swerving to hit them strategically, and I am one of them drapped and standing out in my tablecloth in the middle of the road, but before I can be hit a newspaper man sees my dancing capabilities and turns me into a sensation which then turns me into a person, but one covered in warts. And the only way to cure these warts which the public don't approve of is to be launched off into space with a camel, but not just any camel, when we land on hte moon this camel reveals himself to be the camel of camel cigaretts and he is escaping his binding lifestyle becuase he hates smoking and has alwyas hated smoking so he came to outerspace. And together we find a planet and build a playground and swing all day on the monkey bars and make goat cheese from goats that deliver speeches on why roadkill is just another conspiracy theory and drink gin and tonics, and we wear sunglasses becuase we have lost our eyes.

yeah, you're right...the camel-cigarette trade is a sick business. :thumbs_up

When you are writing about your dreams, should you use the past tense or the present tense? I guess you should use the past tense since people who talk about dreams are always talking about dreams that have already happened.

I was just re-reading my dream post above and I was amused at myself for going back and forth from past to present tense and present tense and past tense through-out the whole post.

Clearly, I didn't edit my post. But actually, I was aware that I was switching while I was writing it. I couldn't decide which presentation I liked better: should I get on lit-net and start typing about a dream I had, or should I get on lit net and try to bring anyone who reads my long post into the dream with me. And the finished product was this crazy, back-and-forth post that possibly resembles the weirdness of the dream. Or, I am just a sucky writer and editor. Or maybe lazy would be a better way to describe it. I know it's bad to switch tenses when you're writing, but a lot of the time I just like to get on here and type.

[Nyu001]

I mostly dream of my wife.

[Idril]

I had the weirdest dream experience last night. I was dreaming about my friend Mallory, we were sitting at the bar waiting for Riesa (:lol:) and I was telling her about a dream I had about her where she had twin baby girls and we took them out bar hopping with us and the truly bizarre thing about that is not the fact that we were taking newborn twins bar hopping when her husband and parents were sitting at home, it was that I had actually had that dream a few nights before (for some reason, I dream about Mallory on an almost nightly basis). I've never dreamt about a dream I actually had. :rolleyes:

Oh no!!! What if it's you?? :p
Hopefully, it's someone who wants to be pregnant!!

Not a chance of it being me! that would be a real miracle for the news!!!!! :p

[Sarida]

Ever have a recurring dream that is exactly the same, and then the ending changes? I had a creepy dream like that. I mean, really creepy. But, it would take way too long to write out. Besides, while I can see the dream playing in my head, I don't think I would be able to express it in writing, you know?

[papayahed]

This one is fuzzy. I had a dream I was at work and I was doing something, but then we didn't need a license to do something else so I started working on that, and there was a checklist for me and another safety person from an other company. I wish I could remember what the other tasks were.

:lol:

Reminds me of a school trip where we played truth and dare. As on the first try bottle faced me I had to choose between dare and truth. As I mostly do, I took the truth (the kinds of things I fear to reveal people just can't guess them so truths are not that much of a problem for me :p). And they all started singing this popular Hindi song which begins with something like this:

Meray khawaboon mein jo aye (the one who comes in my dreams)

I looked at my friends questioningly...and they were like who is the lucky person you often dream about (maybe the meant some romantic-crush-like-thingy). And I was like, "If it can be a fictional one, and not necessarily a lucky one then it only has got to be Lord Voldemort I have frequently dreamt of." :p

Seriously I have had many dreams regarding this guy. Both as Tom Riddle as well as Lord Voldemort.

I dreamt I was walking down a street, the street was full of people all walking in the same direction. Two friends and I went into a Restaurant (like a Fridays) our waiter wasn't very good. It was the type of restaurant that encouraged the waiters to sing and dance, our waiter wasn't a good singer either. During the meal all the waiters did a rendition of One Singular Sensation from A Chorus Line. Then the waiter came over and started singing a slow ballad and leaned on our table putting his hand in my plate (I still had some rice left.). I put my utensils down and told him I was done. It then changed to like a resort/mall type place. I was standing at the serving station and my cousin walked up threw a fork in a bin said hello and walked away. Next it's jumble of talking to people, walking from room to room, and looking at T-shirts. Then I was standing on a deck and there were some religious people below on the lawn, I was hanging out on the deck and the religious types started laying on hands and healing each other. I looked behind me and they were bringing some horses over so I said to my friend "Evangelicals and Horses, Jesus!" I said it quietly because I didn't want to offend the evangelicals. Then I left.

Papaya, that was crazy!

I dreamed that I was working in a restaurant and I didn’t want to take the order from one table because an ex-boyfriend was there (It was a relationship that ended badly). I got in trouble and somehow ended up taking some kind of sandwich to him. Then I went upstairs and found myself in this huge house with endless rooms and so many people. They were all just sitting around watching TV and having drinks. My youngest son was with me and the other kids were somewhere in the house, but I couldn’t find them. Then there were bad people there and they were going to blow up the house and we were all held hostage. Even though we were all hostage everyone else just kept sitting around having drinks. I begged and begged and they agreed that my youngest son was too young to be blown up in the building, but his car seat was broken so I couldn’t send him in a car. I tried and tried to get one of the bad guys to take him with them when they left. I told all of his best qualities and they were considering it when my husband woke me up. I was glad to wake up.

I have some anecdotes to share herein.One dream is regarding of being in a sweltering place when bombs were exploded ubiquitously and made me transfixed.I could not depict the place well enough as I had overlooked.The bulk of my dreams are gibberish,there is no purport in them.I loathe what I am dreaming.

[blazeofglory]

I dream all the time, and no moment goes undreamed. I live with reveries even if I am awake in this mundane everyday reality. I recall a Chinese anecdote: I forgot who wrote it, but I know the story in a synopsis. A man dreamed of a butterfly and when awake he was confused as to he was a man dreaming of being a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of being a man. The line that separates a dream from a reality was blurred.

I often times become in that state.

[papayahed]

Weird. Last night I had a dream about a ghost/spirit, I can't remember any of it except it was coming towards me but some how it was stopped. Then I dreamed I was in a mall, there was barely any people there. My best friend and I were walking into the mall from a conference, on the second floor there was an easel and we decided to act like manniqeuns as the rest of the conference attenddees past.

When i woke up "The Merry Wives of Windsor" book was laying next to me in bed. I don't remember bringing the book to bed, I brought Norwegian Wood and I remember putting Norwegian Wood back on the nightstand and there wasn't any book next to me when I went to sleep.

[Shalot]

Last night was one of those busy dreaming nights. I didn't actually sleep too well - I was in and out of sleep all night. But, I did have a brief little dream that I was in bed holding a baby while it slept. Weird.

[blazeofglory]

I dream funny things; I flew in the sky like birds and got overjoyed at the fact that I could fly.

[Emil Miller]

This is not about a dream that I have had but about somebody elses.

I once had a colleague working in the same office as myself and one morning she came in late having overslept. She sat at her desk and said : 'I had this vivid dream that I was making love to my husband when Malcolm (the office manager) came into the bedroom.'
I replied; 'It's a good job it wasn't the other way round.'

[hoope]

[papayahed]

Weird dreams last night. I think for this one I was half dreaming half awake but for some reason I thought everybody in the world disappeared and I was trying to decided if I would get up and check or just let whatever was going to happen happen. I decided to deal with it in the morning. The next dream I was in a plant that produced some type of grain product and we extruding grains through these huge grinder type things.

I have a dream. Me in suit and my family were going to drive in jeep with Vladimir Putin - his suit was grey - :lol: funny dream (I don't know him much-Putin)

I've been dreaming of our drama thing, our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream... and me not getting off the stage at the right time at the start :rolleyes:. But in the dream we had this MASSIVE stage and a FULL audience so that was cool :D

[Niamh]

I dreamt of a guy i met back in may. A friends brother that is!
Strange dream. Was attending a birthday, that was being held in this massive hotel, which wasnt quite a hotel, as the third to fourth floor was like massive food halls and shops with some bedrooms at the end of them, and the fifth floor was very random as it started off as regular rooms but then some how ended up out side on top of a mountain and the rooms suddenly because apartments, chalets and houses before a masive cliff.
So we where ttending this party, and the birthday girl in the dream we in like some girl banned that was only locally famous, and completely up herself. He, in the dream, was her boyfriend. even though he really wasnt happy, and i was dragged along by my friends who got married, and their was an attraction there. I was staying in a room in one of the small chalet apartment blocks directly above my two friends. But it was just so randomly weird. Was like a soap opera. I wore a nice dress though....

[papayahed]

This one is sort of convoluted: I was at a lunch type thing with a bunch of work people, most faceless. It was at a pizza place and it was summer so the windows and doors were all open. A current contractor was sitting there and said he was picking up the bill but then my bill came and I had to pay for it, by this time we were sitting at an outside table. I had two bills and both were like $2 so it wasn't a big deal. Then I started walking. I got to the house where I was suppossed to met some people. I had to cross over a small muddy area to get to the door and I got my shoes all muddy. The door opened to the basement. I was looking around the basement, there was a pet feeder and some dog food and a small refrigerator. I opened the fridge and it was full of food. I took out a bag of oranges that looked good but underneath was a moldy tomato and eggs that looked deflated (?), so I put the oranges back. Then, there was a knock at the door. I didn't want to step in mud again so I opened the garage door that was on the otherside of the building. There were two women standing there, both were black and one had a hairdo like the suspect that killed Jennifer hudson's mother, brother, abd nephew. The other one asked again for a job and told me her qualifications (I think i previously had a dream or thought I dreamed that we were trying to fill a position and this woman already applied). At that point a VW van showed up, those were the people I was waiting for so I excused myself and got in the van. There were about 8 work people (from various jobs), a couple managers from my current job, and the same contractor that didn't pay for lunch. We went to another house, apparently we were the committee trying to set up a party and raffles for some work function. The eight of us were sitting in the living room and we looked at one wall that had like a stop light on it. An alarm went off and the red light went on and we were all like "so who won that prize?" We thought we were here to determine the prizes and games, but then the contractor said "Are ya'll ready?" and we were like huh? then the living room started moving, like the pirates of the carribean ride. We were all like "whooo hoo" the living room kept moving until finally we were going in a complete circle. Nobody had seat belt and it didn't seem like we were going fast enough the keep us in our seat but nobody fell. When the ride was over we went out to the van. At this point everybody except me and another person were wearing tyvex suits and I was thinking when did they change??. The van took us to my best friends high school home. We got there and the same women were there and there was a spread of cookies and cakes.

I had horrible nightmares last night of being on escelators in a marks and spencers and i had to go to the top floor, but the building was a mile high. I ended up sitting on it bawing my eyes out, gripping to the side of the escalator trying hard not to look down (i have a fear of heights!) i managed to get up there but just couldnt continue on to where i wanted to go and crawled to a lift, which i got back in to go to the ground floor, which i took, but it went down, sideways, diagonally and straight down.
I somehow managed to get up there again and went for another lift, which was slower, and went straight down. It even had food in it. the only problem was you had to pretend to be a judge on ex factor the whole time yuo where it in?! ( i dont even watch that programme!)
so yeah a terrifying dream that ended a bit twisted!

[Shalot]

Last night I had a horrible dream about my little brother. He has been getting into trouble lately and doesn't seem to appreciate how lucky he has been this far, and just continues with the same behavior and it's making me really sad, and last night I dreamed that he had gone down a road you don't come back from and I woke up and I was nauseated and sad and i just wanted to cry.

[TheInsomniac]

The latest dream i had.. begins with a hippopotomus.

There were two beautiful women in bikini's with fantastic bodies. They both had giant toothbrushes, the hippopotomus was a giant hippopotomus, and the two ladies were cleaning his teeth as he lay there grinning. I looked at my hand... a normal sized toothbrush, so the entire dream was me comparing my toothbrush to the womans giant sized toothbrushes, and saying the phrase 'My toothbrush isnt big enough', over and over again.

Dear God, let's not interpret that in a Freudian way.

I almost always have good dreams, usually expansive or very peaceful. I dream of my fiancee and sometimes I feel so much love.

I had a dream last night, that consisted entirely of me attempting to return these 2 library books that I had. Nothing much interesting happened, but the whole dream just went on and on and on. I returned them today :D

Last night I dreamt I was at the make up counter and the guy was making me up. He was applying lipstick and saying that I need a liner. when he was done I looked in the mirror and it was applied really thick and it went outside the lip area.

I saw a woman at Wal-Mart sporting that look - it was hideous. And her lip liner was darker than her lipstick.

I was at work looking at equipment with two workers. The piece of equipment is about 60 ft up in a rack. The three of us were standing on three separate discs that could float and move around in the air. We were moving all around this equipment. When we were done I floated down and walked over to the warhouse and laid down and started reading a book (I don't know which one) I was laying on my stomach reading and looked around and there was debris and trash around and I thought to myself, why am I laying here reading. So I got up and walked into the hallway. The hallway was twice as wide as it is in RL and there was a coffee table against the wall. There were about 5 people walking through the hall way, one stopped to ask me a question and it was a coworker from my first co-op job. I walked further and I saw another coworker from that same co-op job.

I seldom dream myself, but since I study psychology I`m naturally interested in hearing about them. This night however I had one myself. I dreamt that my dad was secretly writing an extremely popular blog of his own, it was built around a mythical theme and kind of represented a side of him that I`ve never known. It had something to do with ancient cultures and a lot of people were commenting there every day. Maybe I`m just jealous that my own blog in the real life will never become that popular? ;)

Usually the dreams I remember are nightmares, and they tend to have always the same theme: there are small animals (mice, fish, birds, two weeks ago even hedgehogs) that I`m supposed to look after, but which always die in the end. I`ve had these dreams since I was a little girl and thus I remember the feeling of guilt in the dreams from way back.

I associate my "tiny animals about to die" -dreams with Steinbecks "Of Mice and Men". The feeling I get from some parts of the book is similar to the atmosphere in my nightmares, and when writing about the novel at high school long time ago I did a better work analyzing that one than ever before -or after. Maybe I`d analyze better if I´d dream more?

Zombies again!!

I can't remember too much of my first dream, I woke up in the middle of the night and told myself to remember it but this morning all I can remember is a coworker jumping a fence to come and help me but he was only wearing royal blue briefs. hahaha

The next dream was about zombies. We were in a smae cute town. The zombies were coming and we decided to leave. There was something about the car keys but that part is fuzzy. I walked to this old ladies house and walked in to get her a zombie came in and it was her husband. The old lady just kept point at her zombie husband kind of lke she wanted to stay with him. I threw a knife at him that completely missed, it was a week throw. I took that as a sign and left. There was a bar at the town square and I found that same coworker (blue briefs) along with a bunch of faceless people sitting at the bar and drinking. We got into coworkers truck, it was a pick up truck and everybody was lined up in the truck bed and we all drank a beer at the same time. The beer bottles all had metal rings attached to the bottom, Then I woke .

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamt I was in a small kitchen with three other people. The kitchen had a high ceiling, was pretty small and had white tile and light yellow walls, kind of an older country kitchen. Anyways somebody said "hey we're ghosts" and somehow I knew he was right, but he was only talking about three of us the one person looking out the window was not. I decided to see if I can move/fly. So I willed myself to glide along the floor and it worked. So the three of us tried to levitate, which worked so there we were hovering near the kitchen ceiling and talking.

The next dream I had was that I was sleeping right by a bedroom door and a hand reached in and touched my arm. I woke up and pushed the hand away. I looked up and my mom was sleeping in the bed. I moved to the other side of the bed away from the door and was going to wake my mom up when the hand came into the room. It was actually two hands. The two hands were attached to arms which ended at the elbows. The hands and arms were just floating in the air. The hand/arms both had on rubber gloves. I fought with the hand/arms for a few minutes until I won then I started looking at the hand/arms and I noted a pivot point where the arms were attached to each other. Then I woke up.

I have sleep paralysis. This is where I 'know' there is a presence in my room and I am not asleep but I am unable to move. Often I 'hear' it's dark voice and lately there has been anywhere up to three. They chatter endlessly in my left ear, inviting me to turn my head and look their way. I can feel that my jaw is locked wide open, like my eyes. Often I can hear the voices of family members moving around the house too because this happens if I take an afternoon nap. There are dishes clanging away in the kitchen. happy laughter and chatter. In my room, I watch in horror as my own hand rises above my face and then fixes itself firmly around my next and tries to strangle me. I am frozen as I watch the ceiling and 'hear' three old women to my left murmur in my ear to turn to the left toward them and when I do, I will die.

In my head I am amazed that this can happen while I am awake and I urge my body to move. Then I tell myself this is a scientific phenomena. i've seen the documentaries. They aren't evil spirits. Nobody can kill me. I'm not lying in my room strangling myself. Don't be scared.

One of the women presence puts a pillow on my face murmuring all the while to die.

I still hear activity in the kitchen. Feel my hand around my own neck. I fight to reach the absolute surface. I start to feel tingling in my limbs. A fuzzy feeling thoughout. My mind starts to clear as I lay on my bed. My mouth is still wide open, as are my eyes. My hands are by my side and there is no pillow on my face. There is no presence in my room. All I can hear is activity in the house.

I know this is quite common with people, but I have never heard such a vivid and most "advanced" sleep paralysis from anyone. At school, I most of my friends have experienced it, where it ranges from being just paralysed, to hearing voices and seeing some kind of inhumane vague figure looking back at them. I have experienced a couple of these myself, and I have also heared some uncanny laughing and a strange face looking back at me when every part of my body was stiff as a rock. Only my eyes were movable, and when I tried to speak, I could not. In Korea, we call this as being pressing under a rock, as it feels this way. It seems strange that I have been asking friends from different nationality about this, but mostly, Asians esp Korean experience this.

One of my friends said that this phenomena is caused when the physical, mental and spiritual energy is at the lowest. I have to agree, the period I felt this was when I was physically worned out and in depression. The reason for this phenomena is because the body is still sleeping and the mind is wide awake. In other words you are dreaming in reality. That is why your body is immovable whereas you tend to see everything in reality and breathe in reality. My friends and I believe that it is evil spirits that tend to make you suffer spiritually and mentally, but not in the physical level. I know some of you do not want a religious reference, however it is my belief after praying to God, the phenomena had stopped. I prayed to God that this paralysis may stop and since then it stopped happening to me. All of my Christian friends who did the same stopped having sleep paralysis, therefore I assume that this is caused by supernatural forces that cannot be explained by science.

I've been having a lot of dream lately but mostly about work.

One dream we were making overheads lifts, all these vessels and pipes were going overhead and I kept asking the foreman if he's cleared the area and if everything was roped off.

Last night I dreamt there was a whole group of contractors and I remember seeing a gun with the contractor's logo on it. Then it seem like somebody was shot and killed (this part didn't happen in the dream) and we were standing / sitting around talking about it and I noticed two odd pieces of metal on the table so I picked them up and put them in my pocket, nobody else noticed except one tall guy and when everybody left the tall guy was watching me and I knew he wanted those pieces and was going to try to get them from me so I was hanging around an ice cream booth.

[SleepyWitch]

I dreamt that I was sharing a flat with some friends and my best friend had a baby girl (until last year, my best friend used to hiss and splutter at the thought of having children). The baby was maybe 7 months old but it could talk already :confused: In the dream, we all took turns sitting the baby. I came home and found it in the hall waiting in its pram for someone to pick it up and take it to the flat. When I lifted it up it said "Ah, one of my papas". And I was like "Hu? I'm not a papa, I'm a mama." (I wasn't angry though, just joking with the talking baby). Then Niamh came home from work in a very fould mood and had a smoke to calm down. Heheh, apparently she lived there, too. I don't know why I thought it was Niamh, because the woman didn't look 100% like Niamh, but I was sure it was her.
:rolleyes:

[Granny5]

A few nights ago I dreamed that I had a very pretty little sister. She was about 2 years old and had curly blond hair and followed me everywhere I would go. I really loved my sister but I was trying to poision her. I would put powdered rat poision in her sippy cup every chance I could. She would never even get sick so I'd put in a larger amount next time I fixed her some juice. I would fill the cup about half full and still she wouldn't die. At one point in my dream my Mother asked me if I was trying to hurt my little sister and I told her no but she gave me one of her "I know you're lying but you're not doing a very good job of it" looks and just let it go. I've puzzled over this dream ever since but don't know what it means. I don't have a sister and I have never wanted to kill anyone...well, not really.

[Pensive]

I have been having a recurring dream recently.
It's strange and probably more in order than the other dreams I have ever had.

In my bed, while reading The Catcher in the Rye (yes, all the three times I have had this dream I am reading this book), I notice some snake and shriek loudly. Within a few seconds, I notice changes taking place in its body and it turns into a mixed form of human and a snake to my bewilderment. Now not only am I scared but extremely surprised as well.

And to further increase my astonishment, it starts speaking in a strange hissy human voice (the kind Voldemort uses with Nagini in the HP movie), and says something like the following conversation (the dialogues might sound weird as I am translating them from my native tongue in which I saw the dream).
"I have come here to warn you."
Shuddering I ask, "What about?"
"The path you are following, it's a path that's followed by several, but you, you are not the several. You are different. While others might survive on the path travelled by the majority, you can not. You have to choose the path less travelled by."
"How do you distinguish between the path less travelled by and frequently travelled by?" I manage to utter the question bugging my mind amidst the shivering.
In reply, the snake-like-human just ha-ha's, and tells me it's for me to figure out.
"Figure out? Aren't you leaving me with much to figure out? If you have been so kind enough to warn me, why can't you help me any further?" By now, my anger has taken over even my scared self.
"Alright, alright, calm down. All you have to say is goodbye. Goodbye to everything you care about/everyone you feel you are the closest to. And concentrate on one important task that lies ahead you...."
"Goodbye? But why? Do you mean I should commit suicide or something?" I ask him not getting much out of its talk.
"Just seclude yourself!" Telling me that it changes back into its snake form. I get out of my bed, and try to run after it, but no use. It's quicker than me and has escaped.

This dream really shook me. One dream repeatedly knocking on my sub-conscious's door thrice? That's too much, and what's even more weird is that apparently the details remain exactly the same in all three.

I am wondering if I am some really spiritual being that is being helped by some special power? It's reminding me of some other occasions that were what-to-say rather weird.

Oh God, I am becoming nuts!

I had a very disjointed dream, the only thing I remember was that I was looking in the backseat of my SUV (I don't own one currently) and looking at my new DVD player on the back of the seats. (I hate those things!!)

[Remarkable]

Last week I finished "The Time Traveler's Wife" and I always use elements from books I read to rearrange stories I imagine at night. I can's sleep unless I'm imagining something:it's like my nightly fairy tales.

Anyway, the past week I've put in the stories what happened to Henry DeTamble in the end of the book(I won't say it here so that I don't ruin the book for those who haven't read it). One morning I woke up from this very vivid but confounding dream. I always watch dreams for afar, just so that you know it. Even if I'm dreaming of myself, I rarely see the world from my own eyes.

Now, in this dream there was a person, sometimes me, sometimes a young man, sometimes a middle-aged man that had that same problem as Henry DeTomble(my, I feel terrible just writting it), trying to run away from home. Home was in a weird place, up on a hill by the shore. It was kind of a glass house: that is, it had lots of windows and glass doors.

The central character had gone out from the door of the studio(and it's still a mistery how), trying to slide down the hill so as to fall on the sea. Because the plan was that once on the sea, a boat could pick them up and take them to a place they wanted to see badly. So in the beggining, the young man slides down the hill and gets in the sea, which is deserted, then the middle-aged man is in the sea, trying to read a book, but getting interferences from big tides. The beach is full of people but they are indifferent towards him. Then, the middle-aged man climbs back up the hill, towards the house, and leaves the wet book, open to a certain page, inside the studio. In that paged is described how he and his wife, I think, fell in love and he wanted his wife to read it. Then the man wants to slide down again, but this time, it's me. I hear footsteps and I see my mum coming. I try to hide, but she sees me. Then, as if on a change of mind, she doesn't see me. But I don't remember anything more.

While the dream was going on, there were interferences of the type: the central character, already in the middle of the sea, found a boat.

An afterthought: both the young and the middle-aged men were very handsome.

This has been, I believe, my creepiest dream yet. I usually see beautiful and optimistic dreams. Still, when I get back to the dream, I was not depressed while watching it... Weird...

[Shalot]

I had a dream about facebook last night. I dreamed that I ran into someone that I added as a friend from high school and he was asking me why I didn't respond when he commented on my status update and I was all flustered and I was like "oh, I can't keep up with facebook - it drives me insane." And in the dream, the reason I didn't respond was because I hadn't talked to him in forever and I didn't know what to say but I didn't tell him that. Methinks I'm on the internet too much.

[1n50mn14]

I'm at home, and I have my boyfriend here, which I'm not supposed to. Mum comes home unexpectedly, so I usher him into the basement where he hides underneath a blanket until I can get her to leave to go get milk, or some other such task. At which point I quickly rush him out of the house. I have this dream almost every night, with some variation or another.

I had this dream a few nights ago, drinking preceded this one: I was in a car and I pulled into mcdonalds. Some repair work was going on so a crew member was at the entrance kneeling down doing something with tar in the concrete seam, this person was also talking orders. I ordered and pulled up to the window. A worker came up to the window and told me the price and I paid, another person handed me a bag and said here's your mushroom burrito combo and some other thing. I said wait I didn't order this. The next thing I know I'm in a hallway in the back of the restaurant and it full of people some teenagers are at one end and firefighters at the other. The teens were a little loud and one of the firefighters were laying on the ground on his side. Next thing I'm on the inside of the drive thru window talking to the manager but the manager is busy with other orders and not looking at me. I'm telling the manager that I didn't order the mushroom thing and she says "well you must be lying". I had a roll of quarters in my hand and I slammed them on the counter and yelled that I don't lie and the manager walked away. Then I was back in the hallway and the teens were having a contest to see who could press lips the longest. They weren't kissing they all just had their lips pressed together and the firemen were messing with my pants.

I had the greatest, sweetest, dream of my life last night. I don't even remember anything about it, but it was the most peaceful and blissful I have ever felt.

[weltanschauung]

i jumped into the river, what did i see?

[breathtest]

I dreamt once when i was younger that a very old woman who was just a skeleton wanted to adopt me.

The dreams i have now are too weird for me to recount. Well... that one i just told was quite weird but i would not be able to convey the right feelings

[TurquoiseSunset]

Last night I dreamt it was my wedding day, but for some reason I couldn't organize it and my parents had to. They got a terrible venue and decorated it with streamers; my mom bought me a nice dress but forgot the shoes; I didn't have a photographer; it was a morning wedding and they forgot to wake me, so I only had an hour to get ready and I still had to clean up the kitchen (???) and they even forgot to invite my friends!! It was terrible for me since I'm Miss Organized, hehe :D

[Shalot]

a few nights ago, I dreamed that I went to prison with two friends. It was our first day of prison and we were given our prison suits to wear, and there were a bunch of prisoners in a line to go somewhere behind us, and one of the officers pointed us out to the prisoners and said, "look everyone, fresh meat." and then all the prisoners laughed. So then we were somehow in our rooms/prison cells and wearing our prison outfits and it was time to get breakfast so I go to the cafeteria and get in line and my friends are behind me. This must have been a swanky prison because you could order what you wanted for breakfast, and the person in front of me ordered a waffle and I thought that sounded good so I said I'd get a waffle and the cafeteria person told me, "No." Then she went on to make someone's else's breakfast and I got left out, and was starving so I stood around a while waiting for some other cafeteria worker to come up to the counter and take my order but they ignored me for a while and by the time someone acknowledged me, my friends had been ushered away, and i was late getting back to my cell and I was going to get in trouble for being late and finally somoene took my order and told me I could have a leftover hamburger from yesterday. So, i take my leftover hamburger and go to pay with my prison food credits and they tell me that my cold hamburger will cost me so many credits and I realize that they're charging me half a week's food credits for an old hamburger. And, I'm late and I'm among other inmates who are not friendly. And then I woke up. I'm not real familiar with how food is administered in prison, so I'm not sure how I came up with the idea of prison food credits. But that was my dream. I actually woke up feeling a little panicked on that one. :cold:

[papayahed]

I think I had a bunch of dreams last night that are all jumbled together. First I was in a house but it had a large airplane cockpit. There was a small group of people and one lady was saying the place was haunted. As she was talking about it a wooden mannequin walked by then we went into the cockpit and there was another mannequin sitting in maybe the copilots chair and it's mouth was moving but no sounds were coming out. I took pictures of the mannequin. Then in my dream I laid down on a couch and feel asleep, I woke up and a mannequin walked by. Second I was walking to a campsite and was trying to walk in mud because it seemed like it would be a good mudbath for my feet. There was some construction going on and the machines were a hodge podge of new and old. There's more but I'm late for work.

[DanielBenoit]

Time to discuss those deep experiences of the unconscious. Tell us about your dreams, the weird ones, the vivid ones and the scary ones. What do you think they mean? Come on, it's time to unvail that nocturnal world of the unconscious!

[Haunted]

great idea for a thread!

[papayahed]

Alll Riiigghhttt, I thought I was going to have to dig this thread up.


Last night I dreamt I was in a house with one of those big families (the ones with lots of kids). The kids were running around and having a good time then their two dogs came over and sat by me, when I petted them they seemed a little thin. Then we were all at a train/subway station waiting forthe train into the city(I'm assuming NY) and one of the girls said she spent her money on candy and didn't have enough for the train ticket. Then I was at one of those old timey small wooden train depots.

[Niamh]

Alll Riiigghhttt, I thought I was going to have to dig this thread up.


Thats because i dug it up instead. ;) Psychic ablities. :p

[toni]

The other night, I dreamt that I was getting married. Imagine my shock. :eek2:
What's horrible about it is :
1) I don't even fancy getting married
2) I was donning a white gown! Which made me feel like a princess but still! :redface:
3) The groom was this basketball player from another University (whom I 'm not that fond of)

In the end, the toni in the dream was excited about the whole process and the prospect of having a family. But in reality, she was absolutely horrified and still vows not to get married.

[DanielBenoit]

About a week ago, I had this dream for the second time in my life; that I awoke in my bed and looked out the window to see that it was open, so I flew out and flew higher and higher into space until I was floating among galaxies and flying tables and silverware. . . . .

Last night I dreamed that I was holding a baloon and that the baloon would help me float high up into the sky. I would look down and see over one-hundred feet between myself and the ground. Then a bunch of farmers came out with shotguns and tried to shoot my baloon down :( .

I know. I'm weird. :goof:

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Sweet.:)

Well, I have dreams once in a while.

It's usually about fighting. It's a battle. I actually have to kinda force myself to dream about it 'cause, if I don't, then I dream the dreams that I don't wanna dream about. :sick:

[Basil]

I don't remember the entire dream I had last night, but this is how it ended:

I was standing behind a large crowd of people in a huge park. I was with a small group of folks who were apparently my roommates or fellow boarders or something. I asked this small group if we had dessert back at the house; one responded that yes, we were going to have ice cream and cookies once we got back. This bit of information excited me so much that I shouted, "YABBA DABBA DO!!" My joyful yelp, however, caused some members of the crowd to turn around and glare at us, with one of them saying crossly, "Do you mind? We're trying to watch the concert." It was only then that I realized that we were at a Simon and Garfunkel reunion concert.

So, in short, I disrupted a Simon and Garfunkel show by shouting 'yabba dabba do' because I was excited about ice cream.

[papayahed]

Last night I dreamt I lived in a small rural town. First I was at home looking for my stud earrings because I was going to get a second hole in my ears. Next I was at work and we were trying to figure out how to get a machine running, the machine happened to be above a McDonalds restaurant. Next I looked out the window of the office and could see red liquid floating in a ditch that runs along the river, I looked further up the river and could see a fire truck and fireman trying to put out a fire at a small building (the building had a flare which is weird) near the river. The fire was under control so nobody thought anything about it. I went home, met up with a friend and gave him my cloths to wear, which worries me because he's way bigger. Anyways he puts on the cloths we sat around a bit and he has to go to work so he jumps off the balcony of the second floor.
I look out my bedroom window and see people searching near the river, I go down to the river and as I'm walking between a house and some bushes there is a smake on the ground in the bushes. I looked back and the snake was gone. I found out that while searching for two girls another young girl went missing (the two were found). I started to walk back to the house to get my boots when there was a bull in my neighbors front yard. The bull started chasing me and I ran to my house but didn't have time to get inside and the bull rammed my house and walked away. Then there was a sheriff and someone else near my house and the neighbor came to ask about the bull. The sheriff was saying they caught the guy that kidnapped the young girl in alaska as he was trying to apply for some license. I asked the sheriff if I could sue and the neighbor chimed in saying "You know you can't win" and I said "well can I borrow your vacuum because there's potpourri all over the floor from your bull".

[KryStaLitsa]

lol!!!that's kinda movie-dream!!!

My latest dreams were very simple but still so tiring...I've been actually dreaming that I could'nt sleep,so I was walking in the house all night...kitchen-livingroom-bedroom and all over again...Sometimes I also go down the stairs, up to the street,but when I try to get back home I can't...I keep felling of the stairs and wake up exhausted... Do you think dreams could mean something??

[Basil]

Snakes, bulls...a Freudian could have a field day with the imagery in your dream, Papaya. (and that's not even including the 'stud' earrings!) :p

No, my friend had class and had to give her first speech last night.

[Scheherazade]

On a different note, here is a dream from me:

I am trying to prepare a dinner for a friend, who happens to move next door to my parent's house in my dream. Even though I don't see my friend in my dream at all, I somehow know that we hadn't seen each other for a long time and I want the meal to be good.

I cannot decide what to make and at the end, with my father's help, I decide on pasta with tomato and basil sauce... Then, I think there should be some chicken too, to be followed by strawberries and cream.

I very rarely remember my dreams and when I do once in a blue moon, it turns out to be like this. :rolleyes:

[Basil]

I decide on pasta with tomato and basil sauce...You...you MONSTER!!

[papayahed]

Last Night: I was somewhere in the woods, either at somones house or a campsite. There were a few people around doing woodsy stuff when somone said "come here, look at this" and we walked over to a pick up truck and in the truck bed there was a fairly large box full of puppies. It wasn't like 7 puppies it was like 37. I petted a few then picked up a white one.

[papayahed]

erm, I think this is a bunch of different dreams mashed together: I walked by a ditch at work and a guy was welding underwater, I could just see the top of his head then a truck driver did something stupid so I banned him. Then I was walking down this street at night. I turned a corner and went into this bar/greasy spoon my Mom and somebody else were ordering hamburgers to go, I walked up and my mom said what do you want and I said "What is this for?" and she got mad at me because I was supossed to know. So I walked out and was walking down an alley and this very tall thin man was walking in the opposite direction, he was in the shadows so I couldn't see his face. Then it was morning and I was in my grandparents neighborhood and I saw a coworker getting into his car and I asked him for a ride. I got in but the drivers side was on the right. We were talking and he asked me if I wanted to go on this fishing trip and I said when and he said May 5 and I said ok but he kept talking it up. Then I was with my mom in a dressing room I was worried that i would be in trouble at work for banning the truck driver, Mom was trying on dresses and she was upset because the dress she was trying on was a size 7 and it was too big.

Well, I'm no doctor, but judging by this dream, I think it is safe to say that Papaya is certifiably nuts.

Of course, the question remains: What kind of "nuts" we are talking about here?

Brazilian, hazelnuts, wallnuts, peanuts?

a few days ago I dreamt I was knitting a sweater and I hate knitting, but the thing is that I was doing all wrong. I made it with short sleeves and than I made separate sleeves and wanted to knit them on the short ones. I remember looking at it and thinking this was wrong.

I often dream of the dead: Last night I dreamed that my family had become homeless and had to come to my home to live. My mother, who had very severe dementia, had decided to steal a new neighbors red watering hose and had caused a neighborhood squable. My sister, meanwhile, had taken all of my clothes and left me with only my uniforms; she told me I didn't need clothes because I had decided not to go to church. I put on a uniform and began filling up like a helium ballon, getting bigger and bigger. My father, meanwhile, was in the front room taking an axe to my front wall. I tried to stop him; but he kept saying, "I know what I'm doing" as I continued to float away...:crash:

[Lokasenna]

I had a nightmare last night (not in itself an unusal occurence - my dreams are usually pretty vivid) which was one of the worst I've had for a long while. I was being chased through endless corridors by a vast mass of flesh, covered with screaming mouths. Every time I shut a door on it, it would beat against it until it broke through, and would continue to pursue me.

That woke me at 4 AM - I needed a calming cup of tea before I could sleep again. It really shook me...:(

:cold: :eek2: How awful, I hate vivid dreams; they usually are some metaphor for some long forgotten childhood trauma or my mind telling me I'm not "making my place in the world". Except, of course, when it decides to send my dead relatives after me; then they tell me themselves that I'm not making my place in the world.
However, if I were a young man, I would think that a dream about a vast mass of flesh with several screaming mouths chasing me would be telling me that I shouldn't marry. :as-sleep:

[Zeniyama]

I forget what I dreamed about last night, but I can remember of it that everyone I know was there, and there were all these sights and sounds and colours, and I feel as though everything in my life melded together and culminated into one big, aleatoric mess right before waking up.

[higley]

Last night I dreamed that I was the fiery leader of a ragtag group battling their way through zombies to safety. I wielded a shovel effectively and kept yelling for the others to aim for the brain. Apparently the apocalypse brings out the best in me.

Last night I dreamt: 1) that I pulled out a pair of work jeans and one leg was faded up to the knee from a time I had to put one leg in a ditch full of water for some reason. 2) I was getting ready to take a shower and I was standing in the hallway just outside the bathroom and i heard a noise like someone was moving around behind the shower curtain so I went in the bathroom, the bathroom was not my current bathroom I seemed to be in a high rise apatment complex, anyways I walk in the bathroom and there's a naked man going up a ladder into his apartment. It was like he had a trap door in the floor of his apartment that was the size of my bathroom that he could open and close at will. Anyways my dog was following the man to his apartment and I was like "where are you going?" so the dog turned around and the man said (to the dog) "that's ok you can come back up when your done here". I was so mad I stormed out of the bathroom then came back in and the man was in his apartment sitting at his desk with a typewriter - I could see into most of his aprtment because he hadn't closed the trap door and I yelled at him that I was calling management.

One, two, three...

I got a very restless night last night... And everytime I woke up, The Velvet Underground's "After Hours" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRdyDSbWg7w) was playing in my head... So much so that I began to suspect that it was even in my dreams.

I have been listening to this song a lot recently (again) so probably that is the reason it was on continuous play in my head but it really confused me 'lil 'ead!

[Shalot]

I dreamed this a while ago but I was so disturbed when I woke up that I've actually remembered it for more than a few moments after I woke up. I dreamed that I had a big black scorpion burrowing into the back of my head. I ran my fingers through my hair and was feeling around on my scalp and felt a lump and was trying to comb it out with my fingers and then i had to pry it out and when it came out and I was holding it in my hand I had some blood on my fingertips and I had the sensation of having my head clear and I knew that the scorpion was the cause of many months of confusion that I had been experiencing and I wondered what I had missed in my mental haze. :cold:

I've been seeing a lot of nightmares latetly, which is unusual, as I rarely do. It's really annoying, because I'm not very well rested when I wake up. Another strange thing is that usually I know where my nightmares come from. Usually in my dreams important things that are approaching (like matriculation examinations in upper secondary school) go wrong. Now, however, I've been seeing completely random nightmares. In one I was chased all night long from place to place (I guess someone was trying to kill me), in another there was first one insect-sized little mouse, which was really cute, but then there was suddenly more and more of those and they started growing and attacking me and then they weren't cute at all anymore :p Neither of those dreams make no sense, nor does the other ones I've been seing lately...

[Mathor]

I was betting on racehorses at a restaurant, and I went to go cash in my winning ticket, and a woman was walking past with a knife in her hand, and accidentally slipped and fell into me, stabbing me in the stomach. She then called an ambulance, but I sat for about 5 minutes in the seat bleeding. And then I woke up. Weirdddd.

I had a dream last night that my father killed me. I awoke screaming.

[papayahed]

I had a few dreams last night: 1) A group of us arrived at this beach that we had previously been to but this time the water was way more blue then before, almost like the Caribbean. There was some guy wind surfing or something and I was trying to take his picture. Next I was in a large cafeteria with some older people who didn't speak much English and I was trying to explain the menu card/program apparently we were at some event. Next I was in a doctors office, a chiropractor I think, and I moved a certain way and it felt like there was something poking out of the left side of my stomach it was kind of like a box the doctor twisted my shoulders and the box went away then the Dr started asking me questions about people I know and as I was putting on my shoes I realized my shoes stank.

[SleepyWitch]

bläh, I have lots of nightmares these days, e.g. this morning, just before waking up: it started with the scene of a forest and a background commentary like in a documentary. The commentary said that there are two types of foxes, those that don't use knives and those that use knives to kill cats. At that point, the 'camera' focused on a knife lying on the ground. Then I was sitting in a tree and fox climbed up the tree and said I had to help him kill the cat, and he showed me his knife. I could sense/ see the cat sneaking around in the shrubs below. Meanwhile, the voice from the off commented that a fox's meow is higher-pitched than that of a cat and that foxes with knives often tried to snare their prey by pretending to be a cat and meowing. The fox started meowing for a bit, but it really didn't sound like a cat. So he asked me to meow to attract the cat. Finally, the cat climbed up the tree and I had to grab its hands and pin it against a branch (I didn't want to do this, but was forced to, somehow). .... Well, the cat didn't look like a cute kitty either, more like a wild cat cum demon. It had brown and grey stripes and was rather fat and box-shaped. It's claws cut my hands while I was pinning it down. Then the fox cut the cat's heart out with his knife and ate it. :cold:

bläh, I have lots of nightmares these days, e.g. this morning, just before waking up: it started with the scene of a forest and a background commentary like in a documentary. The commentary said that there are two types of foxes, those that don't use knives and those that use knives to kill cats. At that point, the 'camera' focused on a knife lying on the ground. Then I was sitting in a tree and fox climbed up the tree and said I had to help him kill the cat, and he showed me his knife. I could sense/ see the cat sneaking around in the shrubs below.

that is disturbing. Cats are symbolic of feminine power and independence and a fox is trying to kill a cat so maybe somoene is threatening your feminine power and independence...but cats have nine lives so that's a good thing. :nod:

Last week I fell asleep during a lecture and had a very bizarre dream. The lecture was an optional one about how the rules of war are changing to better battle insurgency.
Anyway, I fell asleep and in my dream I was watching the Olympics, which aside from being the Olympics (I think I was "watching" cross-country skiing) somehow incorporated what the lecturer was talking about by also being a counter-insurgency competition.
At the same time, in my dream (and thankfully not in real life) I was yelling at the lecturer to shut up since I was trying to watch the Olympics.
Really, who needs hallucinogens when you have dreams?

Last night I dreamt a very varied version of Othello with chicken noodle soup, LGBT rights protests and the summer Olympics. What I remember most was the ending in which for some reason Iago ends up killing Othello in a Escher-like setting, in which afterwards he metamorphises into Richard III and ascends into heaven.

Another funny thing about my dreams is that I dream as through the cinematic medium, that is, I usually dream through the eyes of the camera, with usually rapid Eisenstienian editing and visual symbolization.

I was watching Prison break last night and I dreamt I was in the show trying to break out... I don't think it means anything except maybe read before bedtime so I don't bring a prison to my dreams...

I dreamed about a post that I put on litnet. It was the Guess the Member thread in the games section. It was a nightmare about that post anyway.
Anyway, the member I was thinking of was TheFifthElement and the second clue i gave was that her lit net name was also a Bruce Willis Movie. However, in my dream I had gotten it totally messed up and given the clues that pertained to some other member and I had gotten confused about who was in the movie clue that I gave...And it was obvious to everyone on LitNet that I was completely retarded but everyone was polite and no one said anything but many PM's were sent about talking about Shalot and her dumb drunk posts again LOL.

See, I used to get real drunk and get on the internet and usually I would log onto lit net and write stupid crap all over the place so I think the dream was about that more than anything else. It's kind of funny that I'm having dreams about my online life. Geez.

Last night I dreamed about folding laundry. I have no idea what this means aside from the fact that apparently I need a more interesting life.

Last night, cute but ferocious animals made of clay with wings were attacking me and my under water tribe of re-animated human corpses (they had no skin, just bones and nerves). It was cool.

[DanielBenoit]

I had a dream that dozens of family members that I didn't know at all had visited with ten or eleven prepubescent nine-year olds running around and screaming. Then the adults decided that we should make food for the picnic, so all of the kids got out their blenders and put in whatever food they liked and blended it. I was a bit worried about the one which had mixed meat and milk together.

Suddenly, I found myself in a movie theatre with all of the same obnoxious kids, and we were about to watch Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (which always seems to appear in my dreams). At the opening titles (which were quite different from what they really were) the kids started laughing uncontrollably, and I whispered to my mother (who seemed to be next to me) how I felt that I could strangle them.

Then again, suddenly I find myself on my bed crying because Radiohead had come to Green Bay, and as a result has caused a mega-tsunami the size of skyscrapers. I pictured it in my head with the most unbearable dread. The thoughts became so real, that I in fact drowned right there in my bed.

(It is good to note that at the same time this blonde girl whom I happen to know was laying right beside me with a feather in her hands.)

After drowning I found myself on a ship, traveling across the Bay and I was somehow the captain because some much shorter guy kept on coming up to me, asking me what to do. Strangely enough, I was in complete and total control of the ship, and somehow just couldn't get across these little ripples created by the water.

I eventually picked up speed and the ship crashed right into a hotel on mainland (it is worth noting that the hotel had Victorian design and was quite old). I had deliberately done that in order to "end with a bang" and upon emerging from the oddly unscratched ship, the few people who were at the hotel bar (which I had crashed into) cheered for me with tequilas in their hands.

I then was transported back the the theater in which we were watching Vertigo, with those damned kids talking out loud and laughing. I still wanted to strangle them.

[Gerda13]

I had a dream. Lily Evans returned to life. Isn't that enough for hapiness?

[papayahed]

Last night I know I had a few dreams, I only remember one. I was at a baseball game sitting near home plate and for some reason the people I came with were sitting down the first base line. The people near me had this huge blanket type thing and they were trying to spread it out but it wasn't working so they tried to fold it back up then I saw Kelsey Grammar (from Frasier) sitting right behind home plate and I thought to myself "Oh look there's Kelsey Grammar." Then I walked over to where my friends were and I was debating whether to tell them or not because they would make a scene and bug Kelsey Grammar.

[papayahed]

First dream: My bra had shelves on the sides, it was like something was poking out from the sides pushing into my arms. I looked in the mirror and decided I couldn't go out like that. The next thing I'm in the bathroom at work and the tornado alarm goes off and I hear everybody trying to get into the bathroom so I moved as fast as I could and let them in, as soon as I let them in the all clear was given. I walked into the conference room and a supervisor was shaking his head saying we are going to have to have one on one talks with the operators because they let the system get to hot. Then all these people I've never seen before walk into the conference room to help us trouble shoot the problem. Then someone said we had to sit boy/girl. Then I was up on a scaffolding explaining how part of the system works. Next I was driving to a job interview in kansas and the main highway I was on kept getting smaller and smaller and I was slightly lost but managed to get to the interview site. The interview was at an old military headquarters and I was walking forever to find the person I needed to meet. I found a secretary type person and he told me to go to my room and freshen up because the interviewer was busy at the moment. I went to my room and as I was getting ready the door to the room kept opening and closing. At first I thought it was the wind but it was moving back and forth weirdly and I realized it couldn't be the wind. Then my dog was being pulled by his leash towards the patio, It looked like somebody was holding the leash pulling the dog but nobody was standing there (apparently I had a dog with me). I exclaimed "There's something wrong around here". An Indian lady and a younger woman, her daughter it seemed, were standing near the door and said. "Yes, XXXXXXXX is more active in corner rooms - there's more power here". (XXXXXXXX = The Indian lady named a name but I don't remember it)

Dreams are funny, and at times I see dreams that never happened and the places never visited. Once I became a bird in my dream and flew higher and higher in the sky forgetting the limits I had. Suddenly a monster came to me and flapping its wings and wrapped me up in its feathers. It took me to a different world wherein I saw ethereal creatures. Suddenly I saw a big animal ready to cave me in its stomach and I was so frightened and jumped off the bed. I cannot rationalize this dream and interpret its significance at all

[papayahed]

The other night I had a dream that I was with a coworker, we were at a hall or conference center of some kind. My coworker turns to me and says the his dad wants me to see his car so we go out to the parking garage and there's the most beautiful car ever - it was a large very white, gleaming white cadillac. The seat were white and looked like a shag carpet around the edges and the middle of the seats were dark red almost maroon with a white "C" in the middle and it had white fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror.

I experimented a very odd happening while asleep (i.e. a dream) last night. I had logged in on Lit Net, not as myself but as another forum member whose identity remains a mystery, and I had received a very disturbing PM from Virgil. Well, of course the PM was not addressed to me, but to the member whose identity I had taken to log in. However, somehow, as I was reading the message I began to feel the addressee to be myself and not the other person, and I suddenly felt the urge to reply, as though the member whose forum account I had taken to log in had mysteriously taken over me... like a kind of online possession... if it makes any sense http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif

Why would I log in as another person, and who could this person be? :shocked:
How could this person possess me online? :shocked:
Why would Virgil send a disturbing PM to anyone? :p
Why would I dream such nonsense? Is the Internet taking it out on me because of something wrong I did in a previous offline life? :eek2:
Why life sucks so much without asking first? ... oops... that was meant for another thread :p

This one is weird. I dreamt I was living in a dorm in the middle of a big city. I walked into the room and the two chicks from The Hills (MTV show) were my roomates and the room was completely changed around. They told me they redecorated and there just wasn't enough room for my stuff. The room looked like a cheap hotel room, they had double beds and mine was a foldout cot. I was mad but it was late and I just said we'd deal with this tomorrow but I took out my school directory to look up the number I would call to complain. Then the two said they were going on vacation. One left with her luggage and the other said I'll be out in a minute and went into the bathroom. She was in there for a long time so I laid down to watch tv. The girl in the bathroom finally came out, she thought I was asleep and I saw her open a drawer and put a child size mannequin in the top drawer, then she threw in some clothes. She closed the drawer then went back to the bathroom. In the morning I went to talk to my advisor but got lost and ran into some friends from the physics department so I talked and walked with them for a few minutes.

[papayahed]

Last week I dreamt that I was walking around a garbage dumpster at work (work looked nothing like actual work) and I noticed a drip from the back of the dumpster. I went back to the control room and we viewed the dumpster from the video. We tilted the dumpster (remotely) a little and water came pouring out an overflow line. We then tipped the dumpster about 90 degrees and water continued to pour out.

So, I had a dream that I was planning on selling some stock but when I checked the current value the stock had dropped to next to nothing.

"Bacon
To dream of handling bacon with dirty hands is an ill omen and must be taken with the dream as a whole. Bacon that has gone rancid denotes a failed affair, either love or business. Curing bacon properly is a good sign that you are doing something right."
Who dreams about curing bacon?

And I can't remember any specific dreams I have had, but the images in my dreams involuntarily pop up constantly in my head throughout the day. Does this happen to anyone else, or do I need help?

I dreamed that I kept returning to this place where I didn't like the people and the people didn't like me but I was in a rut and had these invisible chains on me and I could only go as far as to that place where no one liked me and I didn't like them...and I was just stuck.

[papayahed]

I had a dream that I was still auditing our other plant. They had this weird crane that went about 50 ft in the air then sloped down slightly to about 30ft. My boss and I were talking about who was going to inspect the thing because it was pretty windy and the crane was moving a bit. We decided we could see it just fine from our present location and nobody needed to climb it. I turn my head and when I turned back my boss was at the tip of the crane. I was like "Huh, but we decided?" then my boss jumped off the crane. Another guy was trying to go out to the end of the crane but he fell off. Both guys got up dusted themselves off and were perfectly fine. Next I was on a boat dock on a river. There was something like a trolley going up and down the river for a bout a mile then it would cross the river. It was built like a cement and steel block, there weren't any seat or anything but a few people could stand on a small deck. There were no people around and as I watched the trolley it didn't seem like it had breaks because when it came to the dock it stopped by smashing into the dock. I was thinking of hoping on until I saw it stop then I tried to decide if I could somehow jump off before it smashed into the dock or figure out another way to get to my destination.

And at some point I was in a meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi and about 5 other people.

I've just had the absurdest dream of all my life as a sleeper. Actually, its plot is so intricate that before posting it here I will have to put all the tiny pieces together, like in a short story. Needless to say that every tiny piece is a stupidity in itself, and totally disconnected from the others. The dream itself is a whole stupid feat, taking place within the span of a short nap.

I had a nightmare that I was in a nightmare. I felt knew I was asleep, but couldn't wake because I was already awake, but asleep.

But where was I? A dungeon, slimy dripping cold walls, crackling torches lined the wals, but it was silent.

I needed a guard to come so I could explain that there'd been a mistake, and so I feverishly rattled the gate.

Silence

I thought I was going to die in there and no-one would ever know the truth.

'HULLO!' I cried desperately. 'HELP!' but my words just echoed forever, and so I looked around for a way to escape, but when I accidentally pushed the gate it swung open with no resistance. Why hadn't I tried that before?

I walked out with trepidation, expecting to be jumped any second by the guards who must've been playing games, but no, no guards anywhere.

I discovered that if I put some spring into my step I could travel about 1 1/2 times normal my feet sort of skimming the ground.

Dungeon cell after dungeon cell I passed, but all empty. There's got to be at least one whitebearded old madman in here somewhere, somewhere to explain what was going on but nothing.

Finally I stumbled on an opeing - a rope leading up to the sky through a well. But was I fit enough to climb it? Only desperate enough!

So I climbed (this took an enormous amount of physical exertion, and was so exhausting that I felt any secomd I was going to loose my grip or the rope wold snap. But then it suddenly got easy; unfortunately the rope was suddenly very greasy.

Anyway I made it to the surface - but then it became a completely different dream, though I was still in a nightmare in a nightmare.

I'd tell you how it ends, but I think I'll turn that part into a novel because it was pretty interesting actually.

[papayahed]

The last dream I had it was dusk and I was walking to my office, I looked up and there was this huge, I mean ginormous, space station being pulled by another space shuttle. I called on the radio to my coworker who was in the office to look out the window. She responded by saying in a minute but I said she should do it now. The coworker replied that she did and I replied that I knew she was lying because if she looked out the window she wouldn't just be saying "I did". It looked like a space craft was pulling a space station into orbit but it almost filled the sky because it was so close. Then an actual shuttle/rocket was taking off at the airbase that is just a few miles up the road. The rocket took off but it didn't have enough thrust and fell down crashing in the lot in front of my work. I woke up.

^Your dreams are creative. Unless I have a nightmare, I always just dream things that are actually possible. It's usually boring stuff, but last night I dreamed that I was playing with a bunch of dogs in a shed. It was cool, one of them was all wrinkly.

[Shalot]

I had a dream that my husband and I were at my grandmother's mountain house (which has been out of the family for a couple of years now). We were down close to the creek on the weedy side that I never ventured through when I was a little girl because I just knew there were snakes in those weeds. But in the dream that's where we were and there weren't so many weeds but I knew we were on the weedy, snake infested side anyway. This huge owl comes swooping down from the sky and it grabs this little squirrel and eats him. And then it was night and it was still just me and my husband and we were still down by the creek and then the owl came swooping down again to devour another furry forest creature. It has been a few weeks so I don't remember what animal it was exactly, but both swoopings were in slow motion and I was sad for the poor animals.

The morning after I had this dream, I was late for work and getting out of my car all in a rush and I was kind of stressed out and then a squirrel comes hopping along and it was moving just like the squirrel from my dream and that made me remember the dream all over again (except for the detail about which animal got eaten other than the squirrel). I know it was a furry forest creature though. So, now I'm wondering if there's any special significance to this dream. There must be some significance since a squirrel visited me in the parking lot that morning after. Or not. But I know that I won't forget having this dream anytime soon.

I once dreamt that my ex-wife and I were holidaying on an island. We were walking through the cobbled streets of a village. About ten yards ahead of us was a donkey.

"Don't go anywhere near that donkey," says my ex-wife. "He's dangerous."

At that, the donkey stands on his back legs and bursts into song and dance. "Ta-ta-ra-ta-tan, ta-ta-ra-ta-taaaaan! I'm dangerous, dangerous, daaaaaangerous."

This was a werd one. I dreamed of zombies again or perhaps body snatchers. I was in a house with some people and there were zombies outside but they weren't your average zombie. These Zombies looked like normal people but if you looked close enough you could tell they were zombies and they could talk. Anyways, somebody in the house passed out these small patches/stickers and they were supposed to ward off the zombies. We looked outside and all the neighbors from across the street were coming out of their houses, we were about to call them over but then realized they were zombies. I looked to the people to the right of me and I realized they were zombies too. One of the zombies I gouged in the eye and three of us normal people ran to the backyard as we were putting out patches on. In the backyard there were a few zombies but they were on one of those playground merry go rounds. We spun the merry go round and the zombies couldn't get off so we ran out of the backyard. At this point it gets weird. I woke up and I swear I felt the bed moving like were having a small earthquake. I even got up to check the nws but no reports of earthquakes in my area.

[faithosaurus]

I've had some pretty interesting dreams. I remember one where I was in Mexico, strapped to the passenger seat of a car in a bad area. My kidnapper was trying to get some information out of my friend - otherwise he would kill me - but she didn't know it so he shot me twice in the back. It's weird since I could feel the warmth of the blood in the dream, but no pain. Obviously, once I was dead I woke up. I also had a dream when I was getting my head sawed off, but again there was no pain, just the grinding feeling (kind of like when you get a tooth pulled out while having the shot that doesn't put you to sleep).

Also, I noticed that in one dream I was drowning and holding my breath, and when I woke up after I drowned I noticed that I was holding my breath in real life.

I've had a seizure - I have epilepsy - in my sleep before, which when it happens it is quite odd. The dream I'd have would be somewhat of an amnesia dream, or there would be a complete blackout in the middle, and then I'd wake up all disoriented and unable to see for the first minute or so before I was out of the funk.

Hahaha, now that is one amazing dream :lol:

As a child I always had this frequent dream that this giant ant would come and steal my glove. The ant would always come and my hand would be left bare and cold. This dream stopped for a few years and then one night it returned. The ant came back to steal my glove and now being much older I looked at the ant and squashed it and wondered how the ant ever stole my glove in the first place. The dream never happened again.

you might have been about to have an out-of-body experience with the bed moving thing - or you were having an out-of-body experience. Supposedly things get all shaky when you leave your body or go back into it or partly leave and then get slammed back in it again. I don't know...I've never had one. But I have been in bed before and I've been like half asleep or half awake and I've felt shudders and stuff like there might be a slight earthquake going on but then no one else knows what I'm talking about. And my husband shudders in his sleep. He was sort of next to me and had his head on my shoulder and I was reading and he was asleep and he had these weird shudders over and over and over. The first time it happened it was kind of funny but he does it a lot so I am used to it. And I probably do it too. It seems like I've shaken myself awake. Weird.
