Your Dreams

[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 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.

I bet if you had dreamt a little longer, you would have discovered that people actually liked you there!

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.

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.

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 think it has to do with eating before bed..

You're not related to Donald Rumsfeld are you?

I dreamt the nail on my thumb was moderately long. I looked down and was like "that's not mine".

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.

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

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.
