The majority of my dreams are bizzar in one respect or another. The problem is that I have a rather bad tendency to ignore my alarm half the time so I'll end up having a couple of different dreams before I actually get up, making it impossible to remember most of them. Even then I usually only remember small chunks of the more recent one. Although there have been several times where I recognized the dream due to having had nearly the exact same dream before and am able to see the differences for the most part.

I've had a few.
Some are the usual "I'm naked as a kid in front of a group 'cause who knows" to the weird "this unicorn I'm riding transformed into a X-Wing from Star Wars." Apart from those, I've actually had one or two that's given me a story idea.

Imagine you're floating in a calm, gargantuan, cerulean-coloured ocean. The stars are many, as if someone swept a layer of dust off a old bookshelf. To your side, in the ocean too, is a city of boats, that all connect together to form a settlement. You're just there relaxing, embracing this somewhat warm ocean. Then your vision is blocked, it almost looks like you're being absorbed by the ocean, yet, it isn't that. The ocean is curving, not into a wave, but curving literally above you.

Then you realize that this is a large body of water, about 50 meters deep and 1km wide, floating throughout the galaxy.

Funnily enough, even then, it was darn calming dream... at the time. When I woke up, I was intrigued yet mildly disturbed. Maybe it's just my brain demanding I go stargazing in a place where I can see many of them.

...

Not in a ocean, I'd be scarred to death since this is Australia.

I have a bunch of the ones that I can actually put into words written down and saved in a text file. I'm just going to dump some of them here raw, so the grammar and sentence structure is not going to be great.


dream 1

Four kids / teenagers. Two boys and two girls, either friends or family. Moved to a new big house in the country. Deep in the massive garden, in the hedge is a little door/well type entrance that takes them to a 'forest tunnel'. The tunnel is green and leafy and grassy. Sunlight filters through the leaves above and the tunnel is dim and peaceful. It goes up a short hill and then down a very long and steep way. It levels out and opens onto a new scene/thing every day. It could be a town, a house, a character doing something. At first this is delightful and mysterious. There is something fun and new to do every day, and the children go through the door every day.

Over time though, it becomes darker. The forest tunnel begins slowly being overgrown with thorns and blackberries and the light in the tunnel becomes darker and colder.The scenes the tunnel opens up on in the field are darker and more surreal. It begins affecting the children's own garden and home as well (in a way I can't quite remember or wasn't shown).

They keep going through the forest tunnel though. After a time they get stuck in the tunnel infinitely. It just loops them back to the start. It's near pitch black now and full of thorns. Eventually though they come out into an orchard. The sky is grey and it's beginning to rain. They see a wierd Mad Hatter/Michael Jackson figure running from them between the trees and chase after him. They come to his house. It looks like a generally normal house but the floors and walls are painted very bright colours and it's full of old furniture, scattered papers and smoke. The Mad Hatter figure tells the children that this is his dream land. He made the children a special fantasy land to visit every day, and now they can stay here forever. He begins to laugh and rave and threaten the children. The sky outside grows very dark.

As this happens the eldest girl rushes into another cramped little room of the house and finds the 'vorpal blade' which is in the shape of a silver meat cleaver with a white handle. As the madman laughs and is preoccupied, she sneaks up behind him and beheads him. There's a lot of blood.

As the dream master dies the dream fantasy land begins to decay and fall apart. The children rush back to the forest tunnel and scramble out of it. The door locks and can never be opened again (concrete?).


The character I was 'playing' seemed to have some self awareness of the situation. As we were chasing the dream master I laughed aloud: 'Are we actually following Michael Jackson into his special fantasy land??'


Lots of disparate dreams intervening and intertwining with this story. None of them come to mind. There was a beach.



dream 2


I was part of a story (playing some sort of character) in which me and a big group of rag-tag colourful characters travelled around a world having adventures. It went on for a long time. I don't remember a lot of it and it was full of dream-logic where different things interrupted or intersected the story, but it culminated in our group opening a white door that was hanging in the air and coming out onto a circular stone platform in an endless sky. One side of the sky was pink, red and orange like a sunset and it faded into blue and then into night on the other side dotted with millions of stars. There were massive bands of polycoloured clouds stretching away all around us. When I walked to the edge of the stone platform I looked down and saw arrayed in a circle dozens of different worlds and universes. There was one that was represented by a stone cube with a massive petrified grey tree that was growing from it from the inside. The rest were all different colours and shapes and forms. I felt a massive sensation of nostalgia and recognition as I looked at some of the different worlds. Around the edge of the circular stone platform were outward facing seats, each one overlooking one of the different worlds. Some of them were completely empty, and some of them had old worn-away skeletons dressed in colourful clothing, jewellery and wearing crowns. A bodiless voice spoke to us and told us that we could take any seat we liked. As the others in the group looked at each other and some started walking towards different chairs, for some reason I felt a strong compulsion to leap off the platform. I went to the edge, looked down into the sky and jumped off. As I fell away, the sky resolved itself around me into thick bands of descending gradients of blue-grey which faded into black. I fell like that for a while, and the voice spoke to me as I did, talking about a lot of different things about me and the choices I had made.

After a while I saw below me a green-golden light fading into view. The sky reversed its fade and became blue again from below. My falling slowed and I floated down into a new world that resolved itself around me as I came to a rest in a green, grassy, hilly area with trees and rivers, birdsong and a warm, deep-gold sun. The voice spoke to me and told me I had been brought back to my own world, but everything was gone and had started again. I felt this massive, overwhelming emotion come over me and I began to cry. I recognised the exact scene from a stained-glass window I had seen earlier in the dream. The dream sort of trailed off there. I woke up in tears from that one.


dream 3


I haven't been dreaming a lot lately, but a recent one was a recurring dream I had several nights in one week. I was on a white crystal shoreline with a dark sky, and a slow, thick, shifting cyan ocean washing up on the shore with strange exhaggerated shapes. From the ocean right to the horizon there trailed up into the sky these strange tendrils with leafy appendages, they went as high as I could see.

In my first dream the beach was empty. I waded into the thick, slow-motion syrupy ocean (it felt very real and vivid against my body) and a dark rainstorm formed on the horizon and washed over me as I stood there watching it come in.

In the second dream the beach was crowded with people as far as I could see, some who I knew but many who I didn't. Everyone was wading into the ocean and I was walking along the beach in the shallows trying to find someone I knew. The storm came in again and the strange waves grew very high and crashed down onto everyone. The tendrils were glowing softly and twisting into almost painful, jagged shapes.

The third time I was alone again and I remember standing on the beach looking inland and wondering if there even was anything except this beach. I think I walked along the crystal sand and cried for a while, before again walking into the ocean and watching the storm roll in. This time it was quite gentle and peaceful.

I remember I had a short dream where I open the fridge and there's some leftover fried chicken in a takeout box. I open it up and take a bite out of it, but there was a distinct hard crunching sound as I bit into it. I go in with my fingers to fish out the chicken, and I pull out a big black cockroach.

I don't really remember my dreams, which sucks because I've had some weird ones.

I vaguely recall one where I'm being chased down by an angry Magical Girl, (Maybe I should lay off the Madoka Magica quizzes for a while?)

Another time, I dreamed I was in the TV room of my house, when the TV started showing what looked like the [adult swim] logo, only it might have been a cry for help, then the screen filled up with words, or were they eyes? Then there was something that looked like a Smurf but the face was all wrong... and then I woke up.

...Yeah, I have no idea either.

I had a recurring nightmare when I was younger where I was sitting on a large red jelly (about the size of a car) which was spinning around while long tentacle like bits of it snaked out from its and tried to suck bits of my skin, fingers and hair off...

I feel like I should probably be sharing this with my psychiatrist...

I once dreamed I ate my girlfriend...
Alive and whole...
Because she wanted me to.

Want to know the kicker?
I actually told my girlfriend about it, and her first reaction was, and I quote: "Ooh, hot!"
Now tell me, am I the crazy person here?
That's actually a fetish. It's called 'vore'. (Tip: Don't google it.)

On topic: I once dreamt that I was Thor (the Marvel superhero), trapped in the cargo hold of a fishing boat that was being filled up with tons of live fish. Growing heavier by the second, the great, flapping mass constantly threatened to crush me.

I woke up lying on my back with my arms and legs pointing straight upwards, holding my blanket above me like the canopy of a four-poster bed. I was soaked in sweat, and my ear had been glued to the pillow by melted earwax. I should note that I had a bad fever at the time.

That's a standard nightmare my dream needs too be shared with my psychiatrist. What sane person dreams of being breastfed by a giant black creature?

Why's is it that no one seems to see my dream as bizarre as I see it? I don't think you can beat it in terms of weirdness

Matty, I don't think many people are interested in analyzing the dreams and nightmares of others.

That said, I found out who won in the fight between the demon-squid and dragon-girl me:
Neither. On one hand, the squid laid it's eggs in 'me'. On the other, it's now a charred mess on the control room floor. Next dream in that sequence is gonna be all kinds of weird.

I can't speak for everyone, but sometimes it takes actually having a dream to think about what it meant.

Maybe the black thing in your dream was a metaphor for something, but you need to figure out what. Maybe it was just a dream. Until you sit back and note down everything you remember, there's no way to figure out whether it's the first or second.

I've had so many weird dreams, it's hard to keep track of them all now. I almost think I should keep a dream journal just so that I can always look back and chuckle at the insanity my mind conjures. I usually don't get the crazy dreams unless I've had more than 8 hours of sleep. It's like my brain gets bored because it's done fully rejuvenating my body and mind, so it says "hey, you're still sleeping.... wanna see some shit?"

A particularly memorable one:

I was Bart Simpson. I don't know why, but I was. I was skateboarding around a random parking lot, when an announcement came on from somewhere about the move to year 2000. I skateboarded over to this big tube that was taking us to the next year. The tube was basically just a gigantic slide that was filled with flashing lights. A girl I knew was floating in the air dancing the whole way down. When I landed, I was no longer Bart Simpson, but instead just the normal 12 year old me (side note: I was actually 9 in the year 2000, but 12 when I had the dream).

After getting to the new year, I decided to head to my middle school. For some reason, the school and surrounding neighbourhoods were now floating islands high up in the sky. While standing at the edge of my school island, I could see this secret looking building floating off in the distance. I knew it didn't belong in my town, so I started searching for a way over to it. I noticed a bunch of people floating walking in the air towards it while many were falling down to their deaths. It seemed that there was a series of invisible blocks that would allow you to jump your way over to the new building. I decided to participate in this. I happily jumped along where I had already seen others go and if someone fell to their death, I simply waited for someone else to try another direction.

Eventually, I made it to the building. Everyone else had died trying to get there so I was all alone. The building had one room with no door. In the center of the room, there was a big red button. I decided to press it. Alarms started going off all over the place and I heard screaming coming from my school island. I decided to head back. Luckily, the button had made the previously hidden platforms visible, so getting back was significantly less perilous. When I arrived, I immediately noticed a bunch of Hammerhead Shark Burglars (imagine a man dressed in black, but with a hammerhead shark head that is also black) running around killing people. I figured that the safest place to go would be to the top of my school, so I climbed the maintenance ladder and got to the top.

The scene before me was quite horrifying. The whole island was being murdered by these sharks and I could see smoke pluming from the other islands in the distance. While I couldn't see the fullest extent of the damage, I knew in my heart that I had caused the end of the world. After this realization had dawned on me, I was suddenly yanked around and a shark bit into me. Then I woke up.

As an adult, I've had only one dream that I wasn't myself in.
I dreamt I was a 16~ year old girl visiting a friend in Florida. While there, the friend's bike mechanic grandfather gave me a bike that everyone in the dream treated like it was special and magical. As far as I could tell it was just a normal bike.
Later the grandfather was captured by criminals and tortured for information about the special bike. We rescued him, but the criminals got the bike.
Later we were discussing the situation and she/I felt that it was just a bike and it wasn't worth risking our lives over, but friend and his grandfather kept insisting that we have to go get it back.
Then I woke up.
Most of my dreams are fairly mundane things, with heavy grounding in reality, where my real life bleeds in a lot.
My favorite example of my mundane dreams is back when I was in a committed relationship, I dreamt about declining sex with some random dream-sex woman because I was spoken for.

Started a dream journal folder on my computer, looked through it to find these:

I have just walked into a poorly furnished room, where two young brothers are sharing a bed. They are roughly the same age (six or seven?) but one is tall and slender, the other is smaller. The smaller boy is crying and loudly complaining that he wants to go outside. The other is explaining that they can't because it's too cold, which is why they're sharing the bed, and that the smaller brother is blind like their impoverished father.

The blind brother starts attacking the taller one. He has to feel for the brother's face before striking, but he starts landing some serious blows. The other boy simply lets this go on, it's hard to tell if he can't or won't fight back. Eventually the taller brother is beaten to death, but then there is a quick cut of TV noise, and back to fighting with the tall brother alive again. This happens a few times, with the taller brother getting choked, smothered, and shot by the smaller one. That all fades to black, still flipping through other violent possibilities.

Fade back to outside the grounds of a church and/or cemetery, the brothers are there as young men. The smaller one is now much broader but still shorter, the other is still tall and thin. They share a few words I don't remember (or might not have heard in the first place) while the shorter brother feels at the base of a wrought iron fence. They then start walking away, and the dream ends.

I'm in an elegant movie theatre, watching Jurassic World (I hadn't seen the film IRL yet). There is a scanning shot of the research labs, and compies. Problem is, the compies are wearing little lab coats and moving full sized binders of research around. Some are pulling with their teeth, others are pushing with their heads. There are a few humans around, interacting with the compies like they are regular colleagues.

During an intermission my father and I walk out to a hall. He is wearing the white dinner jacket from Goldfinger. A set of theatre staff tackle him and a clumsy, clearly staged fight breaks out. I wonder off, figuring there is no real danger.

The theatre's architecture is a confusing mess. Stairs will lead with halls leading to dead ends, signs instructing where to go double back on themselves, and there are no maps or staff to guide people. My alarm clock goes of, abruptly ending the dream.

Both of those sequences were at the end of longer dreams, but they are the weirder highlights.

I once read somewhere that dreaming about your teeth falling out was a common sign of stress.
Then tell me what my dream means. I was captured and my teeth were being pulled off by some sort of black market thugs. Apparently teeth are valued highly in the criminal underground?

There was a spider, but it had as many legs as a sea urchin has spines, it was about thee feet across and it had hair on every one of those legs. It looked like a ball because it had so many legs and it was coming towards me in a shockingly accurate view from my bed. After being approached by a ball of hairy insect legs significantly larger than my head I woke up and started attacking my sheets because I thought it was still in there. Boy that was a sentence that needed to be said.

Too me it's just a dream it doesn't mean anything but if that stuff is going through my head I must be nuts plus it's not the black creature that freaks me out its the fact that she was breastfeeding me
