The Dream Thread

[Bramble]

You'll pardon me if this is somewhere in here already but I did not find it in my exhaustive search. I have some real effed up dreams at times and decided to make a thread where we can all share the doozies. Freely of course! Maybe we can even try interpreting them! Mine alone should keep y'all entertained for awhile.


Last night, for example this one was really odd, I think I played FAR too much video games before bed. For I dreamed that I was leading a band of outcasts that consisted of: several werewolves, a vampire, a half-dragon and myself(i have no idea where this part came from)a half-demon. We were all in a house doing I really don't know what(perhaps planning a world domination lol) when the entire US Military(well not all of them mainly the Navy SEALS) came bursting in. Got a little fuzzy after that but then I was caged up somewhere(pissed as hell even while dreaming I was pissed when I woke up too!)

Somehow I managed to escape(I hate when my dreams teleport me randomly. It's confusing.) I(magically I guess)found my self in a clearing in a forest. I looked around and howled out to my werewolf buddies(they were on a map that popped up in the dream. No I'm not joking lol)They come running up in wolf form(the vampire and half-dragon were behind me when I turned around. Yeah. I know.) Then all of a sudden we're all watching this news report on TV(No I don't know how a TV got out into the middle of a forest. Or how it was even working.) They were going to demolish our house(the one from the start of this whole mess) We were all PISSED.

So the wolves/vampire/half-dragon all went off to get into position to raid the people demolishing. I on the other hand figured we'd need some major backup. So I went off and found Alma(FEAR character, Google her) and somehow ended up convincing her to help us in our mission. This next part is REALLY weird. She agrees then JUMPS on me. She says to help me she needs to....it's not really possession but she like joined minds with me. Ok then I turn around to travel to the house(which incidentally somehow is magically behind me. I hate that sometimes) As the demo team is getting ready to begin destruction, I drop out of the sky(still not sure how I got up there or why) I landed in the middle in demon form, and told them there was no way in hell(no pun lol)that we were going to allow this to happen. My buddies all pop up, the effing SEALS ninja in(of course). So I tell Alma "It's time. Watch our backs." So then........

My damn cat poked me and meowed and woke me up. She wanted fresh food -.-
So anyway I win the award LOL. But I always have odd ones so stay tuned! And put in some of your own if you so desire!

You can actually make your dreams lucid to an extent by deciding beforehand that if you find yourself in a situation in your dreams, you will do X.

For instance...my friend has anxiety dreams where she can't find her car in a parking lot. So now, in her dreams, her car has a big red flower attached to the antenae, that flashes a light on and off. Next time she has the dream, the flower should alert her to the wherabouts of her car.

Next time I dream I'm in my car stuck somewhere, the back seat of said car will contain one Richie Sambora circa 1990, he will be dressed in jeans, a cheap white tshirt, and no shoes.

I'll let you know how that works out for us.

Today during a nap, I dreamed that I was back at work, and CEO had moved around all the offices and I couldn't find my desk with my computer.

Stupid CEO....invading my vacation in my dreams...

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I dreamt I was out camping with friends and staying in my vardo.

I love living in my vardo.

Last night's dream was about me stealing an f16 and flying it through my neighborhood trying to dodge the air force. I landed it on my street and hid it somehow(that wasn't clear) I woke up after that lol.

[r2cagle]

I sometimes dream that I'm swimming... I wake up still holding my breath

I once dreamed that a cow sat on me, woke up to my husband's arm over me!!

RK -- I do that too, especially on a nightmare... I wake up in terror and have to imagine a 'peaceful' ending in order to not have that same dream several months later.

I too have bizarre dreams, and many times I've had conversations with people that actually happen word-for-word months later. That is the strangest sense of deja-vue to ever have.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I learned that trick as a little kid. I read it in one of my mom's "ladies" magazines. I was having nightmares and so I read an article about "how to help your kid cope with nightmares". It said something about before going to sleep, imagine that you have something to cope with whatever is bothering you: monster repellant spray, a ball bat, etc.

The ball bat served me pretty well. I have automatic weapons in my dream world now.

Say. I wonder if I could arrange to have Richie Sambora circa 1990, clad thusly, in my vardo for next time. I'm in my dream vardo a lot more often than I'm in my dream car. And there's...you know...ahem...furniture....in the vardo. And usually alchohol.

Worth checking out.

my dreams are weird

and i have a handful of reoccurring dreams

a few:

the camera

i have a dream about taking pictures, or trying. but something always goes wrong. i either run out of time, i dont have my battery, the memory card, or i just never get to see the picture

storms

almost every week, or every other week...i have a dream of an impending storm. thunderstorm, sometimes a tornado. dark skies. i dont like those. wheres my warm weather and rainbows

my reoccurring public bathroom dream hasnt shown up for a while. im in a public bathroom...its dark...wet..drippy...doors broken. never get to pee.

theres always work dreams :P but the store never actually looks like the store

then theres the ones where i think i wake up and am getting dressed only to realize that im still sleeping and still have to do that :/

Right now, my dreams, for some reason are of people I used to consider my bestest of friends. (One was one of my bridesmaids @ my wedding when she was 8 months pregnant, and I'm the Godmother of her son).

For some background: Up until Child Rum was 2 years old, I was dealing with post partum which flowed into "regular" depression (post-partum is "only" supposed to last 6 months, and then anything after that is depression - at least according to the therapist I was seeing at the time). I was also having panic and anxiety attacks and by the time Child Rum was 2, my MIL was insisting she was deaf (because she wouldn't respond to my MIL - but she'd respond to everyone else, so no, she wasn't deaf). It took almost a year of therapy to admit that my daughter might be Austistic and it took me that long to actually say the word "Autism" without flinching and thinking I was the reason she was Autistic. (Thinking about it, I know before she was 1 year old that there was something "different" about her, just didn't know what it was).

Anyways, so I'm dealing with this crap. I have a husband who is in la-la-land, a MIL who is being herself, and a mother who won't help me, even though she knows, I'm overwhelmed, etc., etc.

Then there's my friends. Friend A has a husband who is in a band. His band plays practically every weekend. She'd invite me. I'd tell her I couldn't do it. I had no babsitter, and Mr. Rum wasn't going to watch Child Rum while I went out and "had fun without him".

I even told her & Friend M about all my problems. In one ear and out the other.

As to how this pertains to my dreams?

Now I'm having dreams about them. At first, I'd encounter A & M and I'd be angry. Yelling at them, confrontin them, telling them how they hurt me, and they'd ignore me.

But within the last week, it's been the opposite. They're the ones crawling back and asking for my forgiveness as they miss me and want me back in their lives.

*le sigh*

And this is why I've been melancholy.

Ok so the werewolves made a reappearance last night. I was a werewolf this time too! We found a new world and were exploring it. Everyone decided that half the people on earth would transfer to the new world and populate it. My pack and I ran around in the woods mostly.

[CaroPhoenix]

Bramble - I want to have dreams about werewolves! I have boring dreams. Harumph!

[Bramble]

You can have them if you wish. Last night I was a demon again and I was trying to climb a tower. I've no idea WHY I needed to climb it but damn it I was climbing it. I kept getting knocked off by people. It was annoying.

[cewfa]

I once had a dream where I was driving with a girl I knew in high school from my home town in Michigan to another small town about 23 miles away in reverse in a stick shift.

I think I ate something that night before bed, but I don't remember what. I'm fairly certain it wasn't magic mushrooms.

Maybe the climbing the tower part means there's something tough ahead and the people knocking you off the tower are really hard obstacles ahead.

I don't have dreams often and if I do most of them I completely forget. I remember a handful

This dream I had was after I met Scott McNeil (funny guy)

I'm at a Q & A panel ad Scotf McNeil is there. I was asking tons of questions. One of them was if he ever met the queen of England. He said.

"I met her i even have picture of her and me!" He puts an arm around nothing as if someone was there. But I was giggling. and I asked if she was nice...I don't remember his answer. Then somehow this entire the conversation turned to ear wax. I think was picking my ear and then he asked if I wanted to see how full of ear wax his ear was...I was a like..ok....and so he showed me his ear. i looked real good. guess what I said? "Is that it?! My Dad's ears have more wax than yours!"

and Scott was like O_O....and then i woke up.....

My dreams can be hard to remember, I only remember one dream so clearly and I had it over 12 years ago and still clearly remember it all.

I'll tell it later because this dream still hurts me emotionally after all these years because it was so bad and it came true.
