Disturbing Dreams/Nightmares

[Tenka]

I like to hear about them and, sometimes, tell about them. I don't want to start though.

[Arlekino]

oh i got so often nightmares, and why do I so dream so much? when I wake up uh I am so happy is only dream not real. Can you image if real.

[PC LOAD LETTER]

Oh jeez. First off, I don't "dream" in the happy-fun-time sense, I always have nightmares. But I don't often remember much about them. I'll try and remember more, but these are the ones I remember off-hand ... the first one I've dreamed a couple of times, sometimes with more or less detail. This is the most recent rendition ...

One, I parked my car in the parking lot of some public park, but it was kind of in the woods already. It was overcast and probably early evening, but still light outside. Maybe late autumn. It was also completely empty of people and cars and, really, all signs of humans - even the grass was overgrown. I walked through a main clearing-soccer-field-thing and into the woods. Eventually I happened upon another clearing, circular and about 1/8 mi in diameter. There's a wooden bench on the other side with a man sitting in it, dressed in a 40s-style charcoal suit and reading a newspaper. He's wearing glasses and looks to be in his late 50s. The foliage moves behind him and out steps what appears to be a woman in a wedding dress with the veil over her face. I can't tell what she looks like or how old she is. She quietly reaches up, covers the man's mouth, and slices his throat open. She stands there holding him with the knife lying across his chest as he bleeds out and tries to scream for help. Then she looks up at me. Within a second, she's standing in front of me. I turn to run, but she grabs me, holds my mouth with her hand and holds me against her, only to cut my throat in the same way. But instead of continuing to hold me, she lets me fall to the forest floor and keeps walking in the direction I was going.

Another dream, this one was two weeks ago I think ... I was in an empty one-room apartment somewhere in the city. Just a mattress lay in the room. Blood was splattered across the walls. I get up from some kind of daze, grab a knife from the floor, and immediately begin frantically slicing and pulling off bits of my flesh, until my skin is gone off of my legs. I wake up pretty early into this one, so that's it.

Umm ... there was another one a while back. I was in the forest, building myself a single-room cabin. I think I was supposed to be a frontiersman in the late 1800s, because I was rockin "lumberjack plaid" and a mountain-man beard. I was working on the fence outside when something comes running out of the woods - a kind of bigfoot-looking thing. It jumps over my fence, breaks down the door to my cabin and begins eating me alive.

Being hunted by a grizzly bear or lions is a reoccurring dream with the setting changing frequently. Sometimes it's almost terrifyingly fun. Along the lines of terrifying but not disturbing would be another reoccurring dream where I'm in a car either driving or in the passenger seat and going up a hill and the hill just gets steeper and steeper until it's going straight up then the car loses contact with the pavement and falls backward all the way down to the ground and sometimes I feel the impact with the glass breaking and everything getting obliterated. Sometimes this dream will simply involve driving off a bridge accidentally although the most recent dream like this I was driving on the road which suddenly turned into the edge of a skyscraper.

I have pretty odd dreams, when I remember them. Sometimes they're in recurring settings, or a dream 'world' that is so expansive that I haven't completely explored it yet (but there's a touch of familiarity to every dream occurring there). I also used to have recurring nightmares every so often, but while in them I know that they've happened before. I actually used to think that they happened because I told people about them, and that they were intentionally trying to do me harm.

But anyway, the weirdest dream I've probably ever had that was more disturbing than frightening is probably this, though I had it a long time ago.

So, it starts with me leaving a house (I have no idea if it's my house, I never turned around) and there's a guy dressed as a waiter. He tells me that I need to go into another house and get something for him. He then shows me this weird thing with two fireballs rotating in a sphere, in the air above his hand. It was supposed to threaten me into complying.

Once I got to the house, I opened the door and there were two people there. One was meditating, and the other was watching me. I knew both of them from my waking life. I somehow got away by saying I needed to borrow some milk (apparently the fridge was in the other room) so I then went upstairs and it suddenly cuts black.

Now I have no idea if that is part of the dream, end of the dream, or something in the middle that I've forgotten, but it continues on from there without a crease or stretch in my mind.

I'm now sitting at the side of a really long dinner table, made out of some kind of stone. To the left of me, is a man sitting there, no plate in front of him, but at the back of the chair (the place where you rest your back) I can see two hands sewn together there. They're in a sort of wing shape, and have no blood or gore on them. You can tell they're real hands, though.

Directly across from me is another man, who has a hand on his plate in front of him, with the implication that he's going to eat it.

To my right, sits a man in what looks like casual fishing gear (with the hat, and the clothes, etc) but he has blood pouring down his entire face, completely obscuring it. It may or may not have been covering the hat as well.

And then, a person to my left that I hadn't noticed before (also known in the waking world) leans sideways and whispers into my ear that this is because it's alive. He doesn't mention what, all he says is its name, which I can't remember.

(I know, it sounds stupid, but to me at least it was creepy as hell)

[Os Cangaceiros]

I had a dream last night that I saved some random woman's life...I saw her car fly off the road into the ocean, and swam down to the bottom, smashed her windows out with a hammer and pulled her to the surface. That's pretty much all I remember, though.

[Jimmie Higgins]

This isn't one of the scariest dreams I ever had, but it's one that sticks out because until that point I thought dreams like that were a Hollywood contrivance.

I took a nap on my mattress on the floor one hot afternoon in my one bedroom LA apartment I shared with a roommate. I hate naps, but that day I was totally overcome with drowsiness and I passed out as soon as I hit the bed. A loud repetitive banging woke me up from my sleep and I groggily struggled to figure out what the noise was. I realized it was coming from the front door and was getting louder and more ferocious. As I struggled to get up from bed suddenly there was loud crack and crash - the sound of something busting through.

Then I woke up. I was sweaty in the heat and from panic but I breathed a loud sigh as I came to understand that I had been having a nightmare. I heard a knock on the door and reasoned that that was the sound I heard and misinterpreted in my dream. I sat up with the blankets around me and then I heard the knocking and the sound of my roommate talking to me. He was begging me to let him in and becoming more desperate like there was something or someone after him. I tried to get to the door but he started screaming.

I woke up again. I was under the covers and all wrapped up in them. I heard the knocking still and I understood that I was probably so confused because I got caught up under my sheets on such a hot day. So I tried to pull them off of me but the material kept coming and coming without end. I was trapped under an endless tarp of blankets.

I woke up again. This time for real I think. The knocking had been from a UPS driver (in amplified and time-distorted dream-mode, I think - otherwise a Teamster on some serious roids!) I think because when I got up there was a package at the door.

Anyway, that always stuck with me because I never thought the "dream-within-a-dream" thing was real.

Another nightmare I had that was kinda cool was when a pride of city bus-sized African Lions chased me and my friends through homes in a recently completed suburban housing development. I distinctly remember giant paws coming in through the windows pawing for us. It was frightening during the dream but I immediately woke up and though "that was awesome!":lol:

[Tenka]

Your contributions are all very much appreciated!

I've gotten those several times in the past, and always with nightmares of some sort.

I seem never to remember my dreams unless they're weird or disturbing. I woke up a few minutes ago but sadly have no new material! Here's an old one:
Years ago I had fallen asleep on a mattress in a dark room (usually I slept with some light on at the time) and dreamt that I had found a big, flat book in that very room. I opened this book over the ironing board: it was full of big glossy photos of deformed and mutilated infants. The pictures themselves wouldn't be frightening in my awake state, but in the dream I became extremely alarmed at the sight of them, as if I feared the things were crawling or walking about, and woke up in the dark feeling... off.

[Small Geezer]

Being chased by a giant anus ranting at me in hungarian.

[Nox]

I had a dream that I was at the WTC on 9/11, detonating a bomb in one of the buildings, but I detonated the wrong one and the building I was in collapsed. Luckily, I woke up before I died!

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

I have had some weird dreams about being catched by nazis and ending up in the gas chambers.
Really really weird and scares me to death.

[Deicide]

In my nightmares.. it's me doing most of the killing.

I can recall one where I was trapped in a typical american high school, full of zombies, haha. The scenery in my dreams tends to change instanously.

[#FF0000]

usually my bad dreams are just of normal scenery around my neighborhood except different in some way. e.g. my neighborhood looking abandoned and overgrown on an exceptionally bright and sunny day, with high school being replaced with an exceptionally tall hill. Climbing the hill I find it's a graveyard, with a massive, unnatural looking, perfectly circular hole so deep one couldn't see the bottom. Throughout that dream, the only other person i saw was some tall, bulky white figure that was always in the distance.

I remember feeling feverishly warm during the dream. Not warm like one would be from the sun, you know? I always imagined that what radiation felt like for some reason

[Prometeo liberado]

I always have this one where a cheesebuger is eating me!

[A Revolutionary Tool]

One nightmare I remember clearly was a vampire dream I had. In second grade our P.E. teacher would have us do yoga before what we were going to do that day so in my dream we were doing that. She instructed us to close our eyes and everybody did but me. Then she went around the classroom biting kids before I ran away with her chasing me. But when I went outside most of the townfolk were vampires and it was nighttime. So I was just running away from them the whole time but it freaked me out when it was my dad who was the vampire that finally caught me and killed me.

Another one I vividly remember was one where I was stuck in this one old house. My dad said he needed to go there and fix something in it and my friend and I decided to go see what was taking so long when he didn't get back fast enough. We got there and the place is just full of these flying demon things. It was like a mansion and we were just trying to find my dad and escape. But the terrible thing was every time I died I would just respawn at the entry way at the front door. Usually you wake up when you die but I just kept dieing over and over again and that was terrifying. Never found my dad and got out either...

[Drosophila]

Wow, Spongebob much?

[Small Geezer]

I've had lost of wierd Kafkaesque and Munchian dreams but one of my favourite ones was being a FARC militant and wasting about 6 US soldiers who were there for some reason.

[Nox]

I had a very disturbing dream where I saw the prophet Mohammed

[Jimmie Higgins]

I had a dream where I was a stand-up comedian in this small club. My whole act revolved around really specific jokes about Malcolm X's life and Islam and the Nation of Islam as well as a fair share of jargon-y Marxist jokes. As I remember it in the dream, as I was delivering the jokes I was also kind of experiencing them for the first time as if I was an audience member. The jokes flowed out of me and I was amazed at how hilarious they were and how politically insightful they were (I actually woke up and wrote the ones I could remember down) and how good my delivery was. But as I looked out into the audience I saw a lot of blank stares coming from the almost uniformly white audience of yuppies on dates. No one was laughing and I was becoming furious, thinking: what the fuck, these jokes kill! It's almost as if my audience knows nothing of the Koran or the history of Black Nationalism in the US! You'd think they'd never even read Capital before!

I don't know how accurate these are, but I'm having fun with your dreams!

To dream that you are in or walking through the forest signifies a transitional phase.�Follow your instincts. Alternatively, it indicates that you want to escape to a simpler way of life. You are feeling weighed down by the demands of your life.

To dream that you are lost in a forest indicates that you are searching through your subconscious for a better understanding of yourself.
To dream of a forest fire indicates that transformation and regeneration is only possible through some hardships. Alternatively, it suggests that your anger is out of control; it is affecting those around you.

To dream that you are driving a vehicle signifies your life's journey and your path in life. The dream is telling of how you are moving and navigating through life. If you are driving and cannot see the road ahead of you, then it indicates that you do not know where you are headed in life and what you really want to do with yourself.

Perhaps you do not want to see what is ahead for you or you are afraid to confront certain issues. You may be feeling apprehensive about the future. If your view is blocked or obstructed while you are driving, then it symbolizes your lacking awareness of something in your life. You are overlooking certain aspects in your life.

I usually don't feel a thing while dreaming (which is really unsusual for some of the people I hang out with), but there was I think this one dream which managed to terrify me, and it was, you guessed it, weird.

I was onboard a train of sorts which just kept speeding up and speeding up. And in one moment I had a distinct thought "Man, this train will speed into oblivion and disintegrate at the atomic level", (cue terror) and everything in it started to emit a strange white light - it was actually going to disintegrate. The end.

EDIT: wow, talk about being prole as fuck, according to what Que posted :D menial tasks (well, if the bus and the train are equivalents) lead into disintegration. Nice.

That reminds me of another dream ... I was on a plane and decided to commit suicide by jumping out. It was a passenger jet, like a 737. I fall and fall and fall and hit the ocean ... then I realize I'm dreaming because I survived and it turns into a lucid, controllable dream. So I do it a bunch to keep getting the falling feeling in my stomach.

I'd still categorize it as at least "unpleasant" if not "nightmare" because I was trying to commit suicide.

It doesn't get me at all!
Dreams are highly personal and so is any symbolism that may be present in them, and it's for this reason that I think dream interpretation is just sort of dumb unless one is trying to interpret their own dreams in their own way. Many things appearing in dreams can also result from your external environment while sleeping -- example: I once dreamt I slid (on like a playground slide made of stone) out of a castle into some dreamy yet cold snow-plagued forest clearing. When I woke up, it was extremely cold in my room! That dream wasn't really disturbing though.

[DasFapital]

I re dreamed the entire second season of The Walking Dead last night. Shit like that usually happens when I sleep on that couch at my dad's house.

[NewLeft]

I had a pretty messed up dream. I was holding my heart in my hand and I was chopping it up with a knife. I don't remember why.. All I remember is that I was stabbing myself afterwards and I just felt like screaming to myself.. STOP.

Totally. I felt like looking it up probably because I had just read some Freud, and what I really wanted to do was something like that website, but strictly Freudian.

To be fair, though, I believe there are times when the symbolism in your dreams actually represents something about the human condition, and those symbols could be universal. For example, dreams of being naked at school or work are fairly common, and it is pretty much established that most of the time, these dreams indicate some sort of anxiety or vulnerability.

[Princess Luna]

The other night i had a dream where I was being attacked by Rednecks, I woke up from it only to fall back asleep and have a second dream where I was being attacked by Aliens/Xenomorphs, only to wake up once again and fall back asleep and have a third dream where I was being attacked by zombies.

[Ele'ill]

As a kid I had a dream about the west coast, dinosaurs, change, vast emptiness, light wind, rainforest, desert, meeting people and a giant blue body of water that wasn't the ocean or a sea. I've been having snippets of thoughts recently about the dream while listening to music but I couldn't place these thoughts at the time. I had this dream again. Time to spontaneously road trip to Crater Lake in southern Oregon because the balance of star systems depend on this (I hope work understands). And while I'm down there I might as well do the lost coast scenic route again and check out the RedWood National Park and the Tolawa Dunes state park, and then maybe accidentally drive past Portland and up to the Olympic Rainforest accidentally and have to spend time up there then up to Bellingham WA

As you can see by the title of this website this is a sacred destination

[Goblin]

When i was five i had this fucked up dream were a witch and some green guy were chasing me in their car. Eventually they caught up with me. After they got me they took me to this castle. They put me in this cage where a bunch of other kids were. The cage was hanging over a pool of quick sand and it was slowly disintegrating (not sure if thats the right word). When the bottom of the cage touched the quick sand i woke up.

[Ele'ill]

Had a dream that some how while holstering a huge revolver that I shot myself in the thigh and it was so terribly real. The shot was so loud and the pain was intense and I could feel the blood pouring out and could feel that panicked shock feeling you get when you've been injured really bad and that horrible 'no going back' denial that it had actually happened feeling. I woke up right after it happened as I was falling to the ground.

[Book O'Dead]

Occasionally I dream I left the house and only later realize I forgot to put on my pants. No else seems to notice I'm only half dressed but I become very afraid and in the dream I see myself sneaking behind parked cars and other things, trying to get home before someone catches on that I'm bare-assed.

Also, someimes I dream that I taking a perfectly satisfying piss only to wake up just in time to run to the bathroom.

Most of my erotic dreams usually occur--it seems--at about 5 minutes before the alarm clock goes off. The snooze button has never yet returned me to the scene of action.

I once dreamed I killed a man and hid the body in a ditch. For the rest of the dream I was in a total agony of remorse and woke up crying about what I had done. When I realized it had only been a dream I was very happy that I had never killed anyone eventhough I often fantasize with killing people who in some way have offended me.

So I had this really weird dream that I lived in a house. Apparently there was supposed to be this epic shitstorm at my house between racists (skinheads, KKK, Nazi's etc) and a bunch of lefties and antifa. I am technically anti fascism but I wouldn't identify myself with the antifa movement, so I'm not really sure why they would be converging at my house like that. Furthermore, I live in an apartment, not a house, but I digress.

The details are fuzzy. The cops show up trying to stop the whole thing, and the lefties and antifa get really pissed at the cops. Not sure what happened next but suddenly I'm in some sort of altercation with a guy that pretty much looks like your typical douchebag conservative. He's wearing a polo and I think his wife was there. He's also holding a baseball bat. Anyway, he throws the bat at my head and hits me, but for some reason it doesn't hurt. So I either pick up the bat, or I had my own bat, not really sure, but I'm feeling pretty good because I'm about to crack this guy's head open, but I wake up before any violence.

Weird dream.

Several.
As a child I had a dream where I was in a Count Duckula-esque castle and met Kermit the Frog. He promptly transformed into a werewolf while a vision of Ogra from the Dark Crystal shouted at me.
Also as a kid had a random one where I was writing abusive things about Maggie Thatcher on a scrap of paper (something about how she smelt I think). Then the Spitting Image puppet of Thatcher turned up, was very friendly towards me. Then she found the scrap of paper. As she read it she tailed off and turned slowly towards me...then lunged at me, screaming blue murder.
Recurring ones where I float up and up as in weightless, then come crashing down.

I was in a school where young radicals were thrown in and taught to be law abiding citizens. I conspired, then, with others, namely a girl who I could have sworn I knew, and a fellow who I've never seen. We rallied most of the students and while the officers were asleep, we escaped and burned down the building, but I was close to failing..
everything just played out so perfectly. And after the victory I woke.

[Ele'ill]

had a dream a few nights ago where I was in a field and there was a big mirror pool just sitting there and I was kneeling by it and I fell into it and the feeling of the cool water and freedom of floating and sinking was one of the best feelings I've had in a dream. The water turned red when I hit it. I woke up shortly after and had something like sleep paralysis where I was awake but couldn't move yet.

To see or dream that you are a zombie suggests that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. You are feeling out of touch. Alternatively, a zombie means that you are feeling dead inside. You are just going through the motions of daily living.

To dream that you are attacked by zombies indicate that you are feeling overwhelmed by forces beyond your control. You are under tremendous stress in your waking life. Alternatively, the dream represents your fears of being helpless and overpowered.

I disagree, I just felt like a badass but maybe this could of been prevented if I didn't fall asleep watching the walking dead right?:D

If this is correct I'm surprised every Marxist in the world doesn't have nightly zombie attacks.

[Anarchocommunaltoad]

I've had more than a few disturbing dreams. One time i was looking for a friend (who initially was a cartoon beachball but whatever) when suddenly a giant blue burning asteroid begins its final descent towards earth. I dropped to my knees and closed my eyes and when it hit i felt a brief flash than felt like i was falling out of my body. Here's where it gets weird. Immersed in darkness the dream goes from semi lucid to full narrative mode as the only thing i hear are two beings debating. They speak in a odd mixture of clicking and what i later equate to movie ancient sumerian. I can't see them but then again i can't feel anything besides how crucially important there conversation is.

Last night i had a trifecta of dreams. The last was one of the most disturbing things i have ever seen or imagined. It gets interesting with me in a parking lot watching two people fight a la dragon ball z. I switch to one of the fighters consciousnesses only to be completely engulfed by the battle. I've never done any hallucigens but this must be what it feels like. Time moves in excruciatingly fast and simultaneously excruciatingly slow. Every blow comes with a narrative that is screamed a thousand times per second. The voice goes from regular dbz training dialog to horrifying. As most things in dreams fade from memory a few hours after it has occurred, i have forgotten most of what was said. But a few moments of hearing an insectlike/robotic screech endlessly stating that "TTHHHEEE EARTH WILLL DIE! ALLLL WILLLLLLL DIIIIIIEEEEEE!" will be forever scarred into my memory. Finally the distortion became so overwhelming that i woke up, only to still hear "the earth will die, all will die" on repeat in my head and the feeling of impending doom still clawing at my soul. I slept on the couch for the rest of the night.

I had a really fucked up dream where I was a barbarian. For some reason I was wearing one of those executioners outfits, black hood, no shirt, I was really ripped, but everybody else looked like your typical barbarian. Anyways we're sacking a town, I'm killing people left and right, lighting things on fire and shit. Then I run into a house where there is a family hiding. I kill them all except a woman who I rape. I wake up before I finish raping her, shook me up pretty bad, like wtf!?

[hetz]

Wow, that's fucked up man.

Sleep paralysis is funny. One time it happened to me I thought I was being paralysed by a someone blowing lots of powerful cannabis smoke under my door to immobilise me. I think I fell back into normal sleep after that.

Then there was the false awakening I had once. When I "woke up", the room was dark and I felt a sense of foreboding. I remember getting up and going to the corner of the room to look at the electrical consumer unit near the ceiling. Then it started emitting lots of fat sparks in large numbers which proceeded to spread and crawl over the entire room, causing me to start panicking. That's when I woke up again, for real this time.

When I was younger one of my common nightmares was being chased by either a Xenomorph from Aliens or the Thing from that John Carpenter movie. I've not had any dreams of being chased or pursued recently, that I remember.

Although there have been a couple of times fairly recently where I've been crying in my sleep. The second time it happened I don't remember what I was crying about, but the first time I was piloting a Spitfire or a Hurricane or some kind of similar World War Two fighter plane, dogfighting with others, yet for some reason I can't remember I was really upset about this turn of events.

I'm starting to think dreams are the expressions of unused data stored in your brain in order to preserve itself. Maybe.

My girlfriend's dad is a hardcore Randian Objectivist, and I recently had a dream that I gave him a communist book as a joke and he kicked me out of the house.

[sixdollarchampagne]

When I was younger, if I went to sleep just after eating, I would have a nightmare, some of which must have been quite frightening, since I can remember trying to yell while I was asleep, something that I never was able to do. Fortunately, I do not recall any of those nightmares. I can remember dreaming that I was completely unprepared for a test, when I was in college, but, from what I read somewhere, lots of people have that dream.

From an old chatlog years ago:

Me: I had the most fucked up dream ever. I dreamed that A Coming of Age: Albania under Enver Hoxha was given to Robert, and then he said that the school (and government) decided to ban it. Then the author decided to write a new, unbanned edition that "more accurately reflects on the tyranny of Hoxha's rule" or whatever, and then it said stuff like "Albania had an above-average national rape rate of 12%, but after Hoxha's grandson was born this figure rose to 99.8% overnight."
Friend: This is a dream you had...?
Me: Yeah
Me: I have a lot of strange dreams
Me: In one dream Gorbachev invaded my house and fell into a pond and drowned to death

[roy]

^haha really?

I saw your name and thought, 'I bet it has something to do with enver hoxha'

[Ismail]

^haha really?

I saw your name and thought, 'I bet it has something to do with enver hoxha'Yes, really.

Also from the Gorby dream I recall looking at the side of my house to see Gorbachev assemble evil fascist police guys as they prepared to launch an invasion of said house. Then he spotted me and I ran as far as I could. Then he fell into a pond that doesn't actually exist IRL and drowned.

[Jesus Saves Gretzky Scores]

I had a dream my grandma was a vampire, and there was a portal, like the ones from the first Turok game, I jumped in to escape.

[Jesus Saves Gretzky Scores]

Another weird one I had was in a snowy forest, I imagine it as Russia or something. I lived in this village with my family, wood cabins, small community in the woods, and it looked like it took place in the 1900's, probably 1920, 30, 40, something along those lines, because of the way everyone was dressed and the guns. Some militia invaded and started shooting at everyone, and everyone was running. I think I saw some people in my family get shot, and people we're getting hit. I fell against a tree, and some guy comes up, and points a gun at me. I woke up when I saw he shot at me, and there was a light flash.

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

I had a couple where I died...one was as a result of eating a poisioned jelly / jam donut. I knew nanoseconds after I bit into it that it was poisioned, then I went limp and felt my heart slowing down and my eyesight dimming.
Was oddly peaceful right at the end but was fucking glad when I woke up.

[human strike]

I may have had one or two incestuous dreams and if I did they were MASSIVELY disturbing and I'm trying to repress the memory of them. :(

I've read somewhere that this may be the case.

[Quail]

I have a lot of vivid dreams at the moment. I think it's my brain trying to process a bunch of stuff that really needs processing. I find dreams exhausting.

One disturbing dream that has stuck with me for a while was one I had in sixth form when I was suffering from anorexia. In the dream I was at school, and I collapsed and fell on the floor and I couldn't move. I tried to move, but I couldn't. Soon, all the people I cared about were standing over me talking about how upset they were with my illness, and I think I was dead because they all started crying. I tried to make a sound to reassure them that I was okay, that I cared about them too, etc., but I couldn't talk. Wasn't a very nice dream.

Last night I had a dream about my son constantly soiling his pants, which was more annoying than disturbing. I must be subconsciously thinking about his potty training.

Having a lot of bizarre dreams recently but nothing sticks in my mind. Think it's probably due to a long term lack of sleep from baby feeds.

Had a really bizarre, vivid dream a few years back. Worked as a solitary security guard in a warehouse and as one does, I would often take a very enjoyable sleep when on the night shift alone. One particular night I dosed off in my chair without realising it. And then all I can remember is being sure I'd OD'd on something, balance was gone to shit, speech slurred, couldn't think straight and my motor skills were pretty much gone. And I was sitting in the same chair that I had been while awake. I was really terrified because it felt so real. In the dream I tried ringing my dad for help bit then I woke up with a start, phone in hand and dialling my dad's number.

[human strike]

Yeah, I hate those dreams where you can't tell if you're awake or asleep. Had one the other day. Some friends were coming over later so I decided to have a nap until they arrived. I dreamed they were already there only one of them looked like a completely different person. I woke up to the sound of them at the door. I was all like, "wait, what?"

[Questionable]

What does it mean if you keep having recurring dreams about being back in high school?

I graduated last year, but I have constant dreams of being back. None of the dreams have anything in common except:

1. I'm back in my old high school going to my old classes.

2. There's ALWAYS a scene where everyone is like "What the fuck? But we graduated!" then we just go back to normal.

Other than that, nothing in common. Some of the dreams are good, some are bad, some are real nightmares.

I had mixed feelings about high school. On one hand it was nice being with my friends, on the other hand the classes were boring and repetitive and 99% of the other students were assholes. But overall I wouldn't say the dreams stem from any kind of traumatic experience, especially since they have nothing in common.

[roy]

Yes, really.

Also from the Gorby dream I recall looking at the side of my house to see Gorbachev assemble evil fascist police guys as they prepared to launch an invasion of said house. Then he spotted me and I ran as far as I could. Then he fell into a pond that doesn't actually exist IRL and drowned.

love it!
