Strange, Scary and Odd Dreams
 

Does anyone here have very confusing dreams, not always in content and meaning but more in location? Whenever I have dreams, which isn't every night but still often, the area I'm in always seems to be something Salvador Dali or some othersurrealist would have painted. Anyone else have odd dreams?

I used to have dreams in tropical forests guess with whom? * drum rolls* TARZAN! That's pretty odd.

I rarely have dreams but once when I was young, I had a REALLY weird dream. I dreamt that Armageddon took place,and that my friends and I were crucified in our school, and people were torturing us,and there was fire around us,and it was raining....But then,Jesus came and saved us.(I think)

I was about 8 or 9 when I dreamt this, but I don't know why I never forgot it.

Everyone dreams every night. You just don't remember them.

Yeah, I know. I meant to say that I rarely remember my dreams.
I was kind of sleepy when I wrote this.:)

I don't dream so much about surrealist landscapes. Think that happened more often when I was a kid.

Usually now, I'm in some specific city, here or abroad, that is part realistic, part a confusing and fragmented construct of other places and skewed perspectives. Kinda like a gritty film noir cityscape, a lot of the time. Often I'm with my friends, or other people, in some strange situation. Like, the other day I dreamt we were Palestinian kids being shot at by Israeli troops... And, also recently, I dreamt I shared a joint and had profound conversation (can't remember it all, though!) with Antony (as in ... & the Johnsons).

I liked that. :) At least there were no cops... I hate dreaming about cops.

I keep having this dream where I’m being eaten alive. Not very pleasant, but the thing is I’m not being eaten by a T-Rex or big monster or anything that’s expected. No. I’m attacked by a big thing with pick fur…. Did I mention that is have big teeth.

It not frightening but I just think that that’s a little strange. Some times even funny.

I had a dream a little while ago that I was kidnapped and placed in a room with other people, like in Saw, and my leg was shackled to the floor, and I had a hand saw nearby. I used it to saw through my chain and once freed, I helped save the other people, Morgan Freeman being one of them. When we escaped, Morgan Freeman adopted me, and the guy who kidnapped us was really impressed with me and sent me a lot of money. I can't remember exactly what happened after that, but it involved Meatloaf falling in love with me and singing "I'd Do Anything For Love". I rejected him, however, as he is much older than I.

I have really funny dreams.

I keep having a recurring dream when I actually do sleep. I am in a field next to a giant oak tree. The tree reaches out and grabs me and then I wake up.

Weird, huh?

It isn't scary but it is a bit unnerving.

Scary dreams are the ones you have when you work out that your in a dream. A lode more crazy shit then happens. You try to wake up but can’t for a little while.

I had a few of those when I was young. Anyone ells?

I did! I'd be screaming in my head for me to wake up.

Know whats really creepy? Anyone have The Hag? I think its also called "sleep paralysis", when it seems like you're awake lying in bed, but you can't move, and you see things sometimes, most commonly an old woman who sits on your chest. I have them occasionally, but luckly I haven't seen anything yet.

Yes I did once, and I thought for a second some thing stupid like I was being abducted, or I was about to die. Yes its scary.

No “The Hag” though I just couldn’t move an till I settled down.

I've had those lucid experiences a few times, the last one not too long ago. I find that, when awake in a dream, you can make things happen.

True story: Once, I was maybe 14, I woke up in a dream. Whoa. And what was the first idea in my 14 year old brain? Have sex. So I ring the doorbell of the house where a cute girl my age lived (I was in my neighbourhood). She opens the door. No way... she's a lot younger than in reality! My brain working surprisingly well, I remember another girl I know, who lives not too far away. "I need a motorcycle to get there", I think. Suddenly, I have one! Driving to her house goes really fast, over hills, at times flying, and I reach her door feeling like I'm about to wake up. She opens it, and looks beautiful, everything as it should be. Of course, this is where the dream ends.

I remember this pretty well, because it was the first time I woke up in a dream. I've heard it's an ability you can train, to a degree, but I could never be bothered with that...

Lucid dreaming is fun, so I’m told.

I never had one. great isn’t it, I get eaten alive but no sexy girls under my spell. I’ll just have to wait and till I’m a session musician for that.

Yup, lucid dreaming is fun. Some people think you need some technical equipment (something with a laser, I think) in order to learn to have lucid dreams at will, but that's not true. You need only one piece of equipment -- your mind.

Statistically, people with lucid dreams most often choose to dream about sex or flying.

Happened to me several times, but I've only seen something once. Well, didn't really see it, more like felt it and knew what it was -- a big cat. I could feel it breathing and all. The experience is usually creepy, but that time with the cat wasn't scary at all, it was just a surprise, and a pleasant one. I guess it was pleasant because I really like cats. :)

I never see anything either, but its kinda uncomfortable not being able to move at all. My roommate gets it all the time, though, and she sees the hag and demon eyes.

By the way, the kitty in your avatar is adorable ^_^

Thanks! *purring*

I need an avatar,I've just been lazy about it XP

Not everyone. I have issues reaching that perticular stage of REM some nights, call it light insomnia if you will. But, truth of the matter.. I go as deep as the second stage and never fall deeper.. I blame this on a screwed sleep schedule.

I had a dream that my cat jumped in a pool and I had to save it and give it mouth to mouth recusitation. Not sure what happened after that. And then this morning a weighter asked me if I wanted Pepsi or Coke and I said:, "No thanks I've seen the ocean" and then woke up

I like the dreams where I'm composing a song and I wake up in time to remember it. Those are usually really good and fun. Kinda like working in your sleep.

Lately I've been having dreams where I'm traveling to exotic places on a whim, and I run into famous people. The last night I dreamt I traveled to India where I set up a spy camera in a really large hotel to catch Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt have sex--which is weird because I could care less about their intimate life... or their life in general for that matter. I went into the streets and kept getting accosted by pushy vendors. I was scared to be there alone where I didn't know where I was or where I was going, but I played it off rather well. Then I ran into my pothead friend Jeff (why he was in India, I don't know) who was driving an old powder blue mustang convertable, and I jumped in the car. We couldn't find the hotel I was staying at, so we broke into a clothing store and went to sleep on the floor. Slutty looking women and ravers kept coming into the store wanting to party, and all I wanted to do was sleep.

I had one of the funniest dreams I've had in a long time on Christmas eve of last year. I dreamed that my younger brother and my cousin and I had to save Christmas by using bubble guns to kill the aliens (alien vs predator style aliens to be exact) that were spawning out of all our gifts...I woke up before we saved Christmas though, dangit! I'm such a failure!

I tend to have incredibly strange dreams.

I had one the other night where all of the communities I'm involved in on *********** were stores in the mall, and I was trying to keep people out of the one "store" because they could get hurt... also, this friend of mine off another message board was there (and I've never given him my *********** so I don't know how he'd know about it let alone try and get me to join communities) getting me to join communities about drag queens.

Then, last night one of the dreams I had was about my father having a stroke due to one of the toes on his right foot being too long, so he decided to have a funeral for himself while he was still alive, and some rather unpleasant woman there brought me up in front of everyone to make fun of my dress (which was black with turquoise trim and actually quite pretty), and afterwards I'd gone to the movies but they had to stop the movie in the middle of the film (and for some reason it was an interactive movie) because my brother was in the theater trying to tie me to my seat with twist ties.

My other dream last night involved the creator of yet another message board trying to put me in a jail cell while they decided what they were going to do with me since I'd apparently violated some rule of theirs without knowing it.

I've been dreaming a lot with Lovecraft lately. It doesn't let me sleep. He touched a dark corner in me that unleashes all my fears (except one that's only unleashed when I remember Orlando, Fl :p)

I like the second one the best. I've got the first one :)

I had a creepy dream last night.

I was at this nightclub and everyone there dressed like cyergoths.

When I stepped up to the DJ to request a song, he screams and he melts, then everyone turns around and yells 'By the god! The Anime Queen had killed our music provider!" They all started shooting me with Rayguns then I used my hands to shoot moonbeams at them until they fell down and couldn't get up....like turtles.

So... Despite my insomnia I still had odd sleeping hours last night, 8:10 PM - 1:15 AM.... Within those few hours i had an odd dream.

There was a lot of people inside this church. Which oddly enough also doubled as a bank. O_O. Anyways, apparently the bank wasn't very good because people were reluctant to deposit any money. Aside from that, everyone was in the church because there was a hurricane whisping around outside. Alright, now for people I was randomly talking with inside the church. EPS was there, and for some reason I was asking when Manimal would get better (I'm guessin' he was sick or something). Disfuction was there as well and when my attention turned towards him we started playing World of Warcraft. (Was wondering if you do actually play?) . And Xnguela was there talking about the different threads on here (well, the subjects, like general, introduction etc..) and lastly one of my friends from childhood was in it as well talking about whether or not he should deposit his $13.54 into the bank. It was really weird 'cause he kept saying it exactly... over and over $13.54.... then it ended..

Last night I dreamed I was breastfeeding Napoleon Dynamite.

I woke up a very unhappy girl...how's that for a strange dream :)

Very symbolic... Do you feel like you are acting like a mother to a nerd in your life? ;)

I remember a dream I had when I was about 4 years old, still quite vividly.

I was on a tricycle trying to get up a driveway to a cottage were I knew my family was. Behind the cottage a volcano was erupting, and I was desperate to get to my family to warn them. But I couldn't. I just could not work the peddals properly, and every time I got a little way up the hill, I would roll back down. All I had in the world was about to be engulfed by liquid hot magma and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. I tried and tried to move up that hill. I was frustrated and terrified and wretched. I woke up beofre it was resolved. Probably when the emotion got too much.

Strange how it never occured to me to get off the trike.

Well, just a bit ago I had a dream that I went to go play the marimba, and every time I went to go hit it, the mallets would turn into vegetables. It was quite upsetting, and soon I had a large pile of celery, asparagus, carrots, and corn sitting next to me.

I have dreams that are weird versions of reality like weird versions of my school. I also have nightmares. Recently I dreamed that my fiance had died. I woke up sobbing. That was unpleasant.

I had a dream that I was standing on the porch of my childhood home, which was in the foothills of the Wasatch mountain range in Utah, which afforded a view of the entire Salt Lake Valley. Which was nice, because it let me see the strike point and flash of the Nuclear Bomb hit near the lake, and I got just inside the screen door before the blast wave caught up to where I was... the scary thing was, I got to feel myself lifted up from the force of it, and the feeling as my flesh was torn from my bones, and then as my bones disinegrated and everything went white, I had this odd sense that there was something the bomb hadn't touched... anyway, it offers little comfort now, but at the time it made me feel a little better about mortality.

With patience, practice and concentration lucid dreaming and astral projection can be achieved on a regular basis. This can open up a whole new opportunity for relection on life, it's meaning and how to get the most of it.
I have had both of these occurences my whole life, however learned more formally how to control them over the last few years. These experiences can be both terrifying and awe inspiring depending on your state of consciousness and your true intent.

Something as simple as focusing your gaze and concentration on a lit candle, then with your closed eyes recreating the image can do wonders for concentration.

Has anyone here had those odd 2 seconds dreams where you fall asleep, feel like you're falling through your bed and then wake up straight after? It's only happened to me two or three times that I can remember but it's scary. Wonder why that happens, is it something to do with your brain?

if you're waking up very suddenly and then falling asleep again immediately afterward then they could be dreams associated with the jolt that people experience when shifting into REM sleep...I trip over a tree branch...some people trip, some people jump or fall off things, some people even connect getting shot to this brief jolt, and still other people aren't even aware that this happens, or it doesn't happen because they don't ever shift into REM sleep

It's usually your consciousness shifting from your physical body into your etheric/astral body, providing the sinking feeling. Many times during this your subconscious creates a dream scenario to mimic the physical sensation that your are feeling, hence tripping or falling off things.
Many times during falling asleep or dreaming I have the sensation of being pulled forward, falling, tripping, etc. usually then I can convert the regular dream to a lucid, OBE, or astral experience. Also when sometimes you feel like you moved your head or one of your limbs, even though you know you are laying perfectly still, this is a another sign. Hope that helps....

Last night I had this dream that I was eating ice cream out of a high heeled shoe, wearing nothing but a pink bathrobe and fuzzy mules. That went on for a while until a huge gout of blood erupted from the shoe and I woke up with this nasty urge to vomit.

I have weird dreams like that all the time.

I always have stange dreams. I'm either running away from someone or something ( when i was younger they used to be vampires or monsters or tidal waves to name a few)
but recently I am usually someone else, like last dream I had I was a cowboy dude back in the ol' days, I was in the forest with some other men and we were on our horses in a river, then suddenly zippers started growing all over our skin, and then the zippers opened up and our guts and everything came out and we all collapsed to the ground and died.

Another one was that I was an asian woman held hostage with my mother in some house/barn, and we tried to escape but got cought, and they shot my mom and she died in my arms. It was so sad.


And one time I had a dream in black and white which was very odd! Actually it was that color between black and white and color, Can't remember the name of it. It looks like rust in a way.

I have so many dream stories, guess i have a crazy imagination.

I have dreams that someone is chasing me, too. Quite often they catch up and I'll have to kill them to stop them from killing me - only they won't ever stay dead. It's all very slasher movie. I also have this recurring nightmare that the world is ending and everything's just in complete chaos. Also, I die in dreams, all the time. Usually from a headshot, but after I saw Titanic when I was like thirteen I had this really weird dream that I froze to death in my living room, which was about fifty times its normal size and filled with seawater. Fun!

Alright, well last night I had a very odd dream, atleast for me, most of the time my dreams are fairly normal for dreams. Just the normal sex-dreams and occasionally landrey dreams. But this one was extremely odd, not just the dream, but how I felt it. It was one of the most real things I have ever felt, like it was more real than the waking world. So, there I was in a forest, I recognized it, it was in the santa fe moutain range, a beautiful place. And I start walking, not on the trail, just through the underbrush and around trees and such. Then, I simply stop. I'm looking around and I see a great white deer with horns. I mean huge, like a draft horse. It walks up to me, and pulls me onto it with it's teeth, and i'm naked. I dont know how, my clothes disapper as i'm pulled onto it. Then it just takes off through the forest, so fast it feels like i'm flying with it, not touching the bushes and fallen leaves, just running. Eventually, a light starts coming the horns of the deer, and then they explode along with the rest of it into a flash of the brightest light i've ever "seen". As I look to back to where it was, it's gone, along with the forest, and i'm standing at what I like to call "The Edge of the World" a cliff in colorado. Then a shadow of someone I know walks out of the air towards me, touches me on the cheek, wipes away a tear I didn't know was there, and I wake up from this "Dream". And like I said, it was one of the most real things i've ever felt.

I dreamt last night that a guy I knew and I were forced to walk extensive areas of the downtown district and nod our heads and smile at each and every person that walked by. I don't know if this was Hell or some kind of penance, but since I am thinking along those lines, it must have been.

I had a dream a week or so ago. It was on a island, and there was all these men in loinclothes making canoes on the beach, with a forest behind them. Then three of them would push off in one, and sink. Then a monkey screeched in the woods. And they all started yelling a running into the water. Then monkeys came out of the forest and started eating the men. The men in the water started getting eatin by frogs. A frog chewed my stomach off....and I woke up....

I dreamt, the other night, that my dog got into some kind of horrible accident and lost 3 of his paws. He didn't die from the injuries however, so we had to put him down. :(


That dream has been lingering for days now, what a fucking nightmare.

I had a dreams that my wife cheated on me. I my sleep I elbowed her in the head. In real life I elbowed her in the head. I felt like shit.

Your poor wife. I would have given you a fucking fat lip for that one.

She almost did. I was scared shitless. Don't wake a pregrent womyn.

Especially by elbowing her in the head...
