The Dream Thread

[Magpie]

The two kinds of dreams that I dislike the most are unfortunately the ones I remember the best.

I don't like it when I have to keep editing my dreams. Like when you're trying to run away from someone, and eventually you have to change what's happening, because the guy with the chainsaw has you cornered, and if you want to get any more sleep that night you go and re-do the last little bit so he doesn't see you hiding under the table.

I'm also not very good with dreams where you think you're awake. I'm getting a little better about some of them, I can tell it's a dream. I haven't had the kind where I'm convinced I'm awake but I can't communicate with my roommate (who for some reason was in my bedroom, despite being a guy), to tell him that I can't move in ages.

What I did get recently was one where I kept dreaming (I probably had five or six of these in 10-15 minutes) that I was awake, and had gotten up before taking my temperature. In some of them I got out of bed and then realised, but then they started getting worse. I was on Bridgeport, standing outside the thrift store, and trying to hold my thermometer in my mouth. It was awful, because I had forgotten to take my temperature, and there I was trying to do it, and it was on the street so everyone could see that I hadn't done it (I was with my parents and in-laws I think). The annoying part, looking back, is that it wouldn't have done me any good to have taken my temperature, so why did I bother?


I had a very nice dream a few months ago, I was at some sort of provincal park, and there were buffalo there. I was looking at the pamphlet they had, and it talked about how they cared for the buffalo (so it must have been more of a farm, but this was a dream). Part of them caring for the buffalo included collecting the wool. I was so sad when I woke up and realised that that was a dream, and the buffalo wool has indeed been discontinued.

I just woke up from a really cool dream!

It was like a water park theme of Sea World and Discovery zone. It just didn't have Orcas. But it had Sharks! And it was all in one giant pool.

One of the intro rides was a reversal water slide. Instead of going down, you go up. And the water currents were like a powerful vacuum that pulled you until you reached the top and you go air born for a second before you land back on the slide that continues on throughout the park.

Another one was something like the Disney Jungle Safari boat ride. Except the sharks were real and it was kinda like a pirate theme. First one to point out the sharks gets kinda thrown into the play acting. (How was it play acting when the sharks were real!)

When you left you either left in an inflatable boat or without one. If you left on a boat, the boat went over a waterfall and into a deep pool. If on foot you go over the water fall anyway. The water fall itself is like a ten foot drop.

Thats all I remember from it. It was still an awesome dream.

Had a dream this morning about a long dead high school classmate.

I was walking past a young lady and noticed that her hair looked familiar. She turned around and I called out her name, asking if it was her.

She replied "Yes."

"But you're dead, you shot yourself."

"Was dead," she corrected me, smiling.

"But how?"

"You really don't want to know," she said, with a look that told me the process wasn't pleasant. She then proceeds to tell me, "You know, there are others all around you that you can see, if you choose to look."

At that moment, I caught a glimpse of shadowy movement at the corner of my vision, then a bald headed man materialized and walked past me.

"See?" she said. "They all need help."

At that point, we are in a movie theater and more of them start to materialize and take their seats.

There was more after that, but she stopped being relevant to that portion of the dream.

One of my recurring dreams is where my mom or a professor has given me a chore or an assignment. When they assign the task, I feel like I'm completely overwhelmed and stressed. So, I shout, "No!" But that just seems to make the task more complex, so again I shout, "No!" I'm not only shouting; I'm kicking, thrashing, and tangling myself in the sheets. Yes, I am doing all of this in bed, including the shouting. Funny thing is, I'm aware I'm thrashing about in bed, but I'm not awake. Whenever I have these dreams, I wake up my parents with my shouting and they have to wake me up so they can get some sleep!

Another recurring dream is where I'll be doing something completely normal, like in a classroom for example, and then suddenly, I realize this is just a dream! So I try to wake up. I wake up, get out of bed, do my morning routines or just go to watch tv, but then I realize I'm still dreaming! So again, I try to wake myself up and again while I'm doing my morning routines, I realize I'm dreaming! This will happen again and again until I actually do wake up. They are so convincing too. There is this one day that went on like a normal, but it seemed to end too quickly. This was when I was about 5 or 6. To this day, I still have no idea if it was just a dream or reality. Sometimes though, after I realize I'm dreaming, I like to mess with the characters in my dreams. Like this one time, I told my dream sister that she didn't exist and she was just a figment of my imagination. She looked at my like yeah, ok crazy lady, you just tell yourself that... But I knew I was right, so I kept bugging her shouting at she's not real and lauging histarically. Sure enough, I woke up for real.

lol I wish I could have lucid dreams like that.

A few years ago, I would dream about forgetting to do my math homework. I graduated in 1997, and even when I was in school, I didn't care whether I did my math homework or not.

Now I tend to dream about not getting a parking spot at school. Again, I didn't drive to school.

So, i had quite a doozie the other day: Settle in..its a long one.

First thing I remember is I was running (escaping). With a group of people and we were being shot at.

We make it into an abandoned building and this older guy immediately breaks away from the group once were inside and goes up some stairs. We all made the decision to make the place out hideout. I go upstairs to look for the other guy. And he gets pissed that i invaded his territory. He had claimed ike half the house. I was trying to explain to him that it wasnt fair and we would divy out rooms later but he wouldnt listen. He was also walking in FULL VIEW of these HUGE windows. So, im trying to tell him to get away from the window, but he wouldnt listen. Shots ring out, this guy is shot dead. I hit the floor and peak out the window carefully. I see, all over the next house, the guys who were shooting at us: MIDGETS IN TANOOKI SUITS. (ie Mario in Super Mario , when he looks like a raccoon http://www.mariowiki.com/Tanooki_Suit). They then raid the house and its over.

But my dream resets again. And Im running again. With a different group of people. We end up in the same house again, sans older guy who fucks everything up, but then we all decide to go out to get something to eat...and get caught that way...by midgets in tanooki suits.

Then it resets AGAIN..and Im running with a different group. I forget how it ends, but it ends up with us being caught...by the midgets in tanooki suits.

THEN it resets and actually starts from where we run from. Some kind of laboratory where theyre doing experiments on people, The only one I can remember is them (the lab people) cutting LIVE peoples skulls open and boiling rice...

They then asked a group of us to volunteer for a late night experiment, but I remembered that we were escaping and gathered the group of people I wanted to save and we all volunteered. We set fire to the place and run away to the same building with midgets in tanooki suits chasing and shoting at us.

We get into the building and someones been shot. Someone had a baby with her. Maybe 6 months and the baby had been shot straight through the cheek!! But no other damage and other than that the baby was fine. This girl hands my husband (who appeared out of no where) the baby and then I realize that this baby is his....but im not the mother!! The mother was the girl who handed her over, who happened to be a friend of his in RL.

So somehow Im walking the streets with my sister, still trying to escape and every time we get caught, my dream resets until it meets favorable cirumstances and only then can I move on.


Sorry it was so long, but so fuckin weird! I havent had a detailed one like that in a long while.

Last nights dream, bizarreness, went on for ages

I was at work and was asked to take some documents to another part of the building.I opened the door and this office was situated in an outdoor car park, inside the building.There was mud everywhere, on top of this the workers were just gnawing on huge steaks and throwing the bones and bits of gristle everywhere.They said I had to collect it all so there I was all muddy collecting stinking bits of meat and bone which had been there for weeks.

I felt ill.

[sarasquirrel]

since i just woke up and they are fresh in mind

all night i had crazy dreams, that i didnt want to have...ill try to remember them as best i can

heres how it starts

i was hanging out with a friend who i was friends with in high school (but not anymore) so we're doing whatever..(i cant remember) but i then remember i had made plans with another friend for later that afternoon, since the 2nd friend is on spring break. friend 1 gets mad but i leave anyways. so i then am walking across campus and a jack-ass starts following me, for realz a donkey, jackass whatever you wanna call it, and he was scary and kept like hitting me with his head or something. so then i leave, driving on the highway but not really it was like an invisible car

then im at the movies? but realize i actually have to babysit some kids. so i get up from the front row and kinda walk into the movie haha. but theres this really creepy sound playing. it was def really creepy and i still dont know what it was. i was talking to the mother i guess and told her i couldnt stay becuase i had plans with friend 2. she told me it was too bad. then the father comes and i tell him and he doesnt care. i told them i quit and run off, i had tried telling them about the creepy music/sound i heard earlier. the only thing i could relate it to was mike meyers? (but i saw the most recent movie and dont remember any sounds)

so im running and that dream kinda ends

im then at work. oh joy. i dont remember that part very well... just that there was a body in the basement and i knew we were about to see it, so i close my eyes to not see it. and like in a movie a scary sound plays when you do. thank god i didnt look

then i have a dream where me and a bunch of my friends are getting chased, and some killed of. nice huh? i remember in one part we were in this building looking for something and i notice the guy working there has a big knife on a stick, but his job was to work on them, but i had a bad feeling and asked if i could go outside for some fresh air cuz i was feeling a little cramped. so he lets me out, and i think a few more people went in, one looked like Seal haha.

then i go inside i think a mcdonalds to talk to other friends about whats happening.

then im off driving, random highways and then through a mall. the highway goes thru the mall yet im still smashing glass. i get out and its now like a hotel im in a room and i think my dad was there. then a little crazy lady comes in. she tells me one of my best friends got killed in the building earlier (guy with kife) and i just start bawling. i beg her not to kill me or whatever. she doesn't (cant get killed in your dream thank goodness) i try to tell me dad we need to get out of there but he wants none of it.

later on i think it was my brother who shows up and he tries to get into that hotel room i tell him he shouldnt go in there b/c someones was dead.

then i get in an elevator with some random girl, who i think was a model, she was tall and blonde. press G for ground level, and brings us to 2, she gets off i tell her nope not yet and gets back on. then as we get to ground level she tells me how she needs some chocolate or whatever. but thats gonna have to last her a few days since all she eats otherwise is 1 vitamin. yea... then im in line, for what i dont know, but i guess it kinda ended there

that probably didnt make any sense lol

the babysitting, i guess cuz i watched a tv show where there was babysitting involved
i do have a friend who i wanted to make plans with b/c she is on spring break
i watch too much ncis, the investigating the building part.
the little lady looked like a regular customer we have, i saw her last night, but shes really nice so she wouldnt actually kill anyone

[El Pollo Guerrera]

I had an odd dream last night...

I was in an empty parking lot, at night, walking to my car, and a kid (8-10 year old) on a bike rides up to me and tells me to give him my wallet. I say no, get lost... and the kid charges me. And I knock him down. And he starts crying.

Then I see in the distance another kid with a bike talking to an officer in a police car, and pointing at me. I panic and run. Really, who are they going to believe, me or a crying kid?

I don't run to my car, though. I run to an alley across the street, headed for... I don't know where I was going.

Also, for some reason, I'm carrying something. I don't know what it is but it's big and it's bright white. It's not heavy but it is cumbersome, so I'm running slowly while trying to maneuver my way through alleys and yards roads.

There's also an awful lot of trees and bushes in my way. Which is helping me hide but it's harder to move through.

Anyways, as I run I can also see the mob behind me building. The bigger the mob, the more people are crashing into each other... and people are getting hurt.

And in the very back are those two kids, laughing.




And then I woke up.

[Pairou]

Having dreams about my little sister, prolly cos she's home from college for about a week or two. She ususally dies in my dreams or something. In real life, she doesn't like me very much... despite the fact that we used to be so close! T_T

[Nurian]

Okay, this one happened last night.

I'm a pitcher for a baseball team that plays in a supermarket. The ball is a novelty skull with candy inside. I strike the first guy out who then has to go to the register and check people out. The next guy hits one back to me but gets lost in the chip aisle. I manage to get the skull and throw it in the cart we're using for first base. The last guy hits so well that we don't see the skull, or him, again.

[TelephoneAngel]

Really frustrating one from last night which seemed to go on for hours.


I was on a cruise ship and i was meant to be meeting someone, i dont know who or why but it was important.I kept asking everyone where this person was, and everyone i met knew where he was, and directed me to the right room, but when I got there he had just left and i had to ask someone else where he had gone and so on.

[TelephoneAngel]

Last night, first time i was aware of dreaming for ages.

I was buying a house which had a bright blue bathroom, the tiniest tiniest shower cubicle and toilet in the bathroom ever, and the reason was that the whole bathroom was taken up by a massive staircase with very narrow treads going round and round just like up a turrett in a castle, and the door to the bathroom was downstairs and one upstairs/I kept saying that nobody could use the upstairs room to the bathroom as the staircase was very dangerous.I was freaking out about how dangerous it was.

Weird.
