Share your dreams/nightmares

[robvalue]

I sometimes have the most powerful and bizarre dreams. I thought it would be nice to have a thread where everyone can describe theirs, before they get lost from memory.

A few nights ago I had a dream where I had died, but my mother gave birth to another brother. The brother was born at 27 years old, and was black. Not only that, but I became him, with all my memories.

I had another one where I was roller skating in a hall, set up with ledges everywhere. I love dreams like this! The normal rules of gravity and how good I am at stuff didn't apply, and I was skating sideways along the walls, jumping from ledge to ledge, amazing!

My worst ever dream, which I still remember, was one where I thought I was in psychological hell. I was in this kind of dark room. There were a few exits, so I tried one of them. After walking for a bit, I was back in the first room. I tried different exits, and again just kept being put back after a while. Sometimes it let me get further, I made real progress. It felt like I was finally getting out of whatever place this was! Then bam, back in the room. I honestly believed this was it: this was going on forever. I felt total despair. I kept "waking up" within the dream, and being relieved it was all over. The back in the room again. When I actually woke up (assuming... can't bear to think about it...) my god was I relieved.

I was at a donut stand at a farmer's market in a really panicked rush to get two hand-dipped donuts with sprinkles. And I was being kind of an asshole about it.

And, well, end of last night's dream.

First world nightmares

My worst almost super-realistic dream was when I was stuck in a dream and couldn't wake up. I hear it happens to everybody eveynow and then. But I was scared as crap and I remember waking up by getting down this dark staircase that led to my bed. It was creepy as hell, even more creepier than your average Gothic emo mystic.

Btw if you are a dream-lover, you might want to check out on how to practice Lucid-dreaming (how to make and control dreams in your sleep).

I had this dream last night in which my wife and I were sleeping in a Plains Indians-style teepee, snugly nestled under buffalo hides with a bunch of puppies, while the winter winds howled outside. It was a really sweet and comforting dream. Then I woke up and found out why I was having the dream: my wife had unnecessarily turned on the AC in the middle of the night, and our place was like a damn meat locker.

Most of mine are like Robs. I'm in a situation that I can't find an escape from. In public naked trying to hide, in Nam with the VC chasing me, trying to drive somewhere but lost and just have to continue driving, at work and people demand something from me that I have no clue about.

Worst one was in color (normally I dream in b&w). I was laying on an operating table with gowned medical staff all around. They told me I had a tumor in my head that needed to be removed. However, the surgery was so difficult that none of them was willing to perform it and I would have to do the surgery on myself. So, they gave me the surgical instruments and put a mirror in place so I could see the reflection . The top of my skull had been removed and there was my brain in washed out colors of green, red, blue and grey. I started fumbling with the surgical implements and was very frustrated because I was working with the reverse reflection. At that point I woke up. Have never had that dream again.

I wonder how the surgery went?

When the assholes also crashed my individual economy and retirement plans in 2008, I kept dreaming about wads of cash in my pocket. No joke, the harder it got to pay the bills, the more I dreamt about money.

I'm sure, I can come up with some more bizare ones, since there's no shortage of nightmares in my sleep.

My best dreams are about my father - I doubt I'll ever get fully over his death.

My worst dreams involve explosions and body parts.
