Really, REALLY weird dreams...

[Kimarous]

I once had a dream that Dio Brando from "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" was having sex with a little girl and, next to them, a chihuahua was humping a grown woman.

Conclusion: never visit Encyclopedia Dramatica right before going to bed ever again!

Spoiler: On a less disturbing note...

I had this weird pair of dreams when I was a kid. I dreamt that me, my brother, and my aunt were all driving up a really steep hill, my aunt being the driver. I comment to my aunt that I think the hill is too steep. She asks why, just before my legs go flying back and hit the ceiling, whereupon I say "that's why". We reach the top of the hill, only to suddenly find construction is blocking our way. My aunt swerves out of the way and promptly sends us speeding towards a cliff. My aunt and brother manage to jump out, but since I was left in the back seat with no side doors, I was left behind and went hurling off the cliff with the car, in slow-motion no less. I woke up right about this point.

After falling back asleep, I have the same dream again, only that time when we reached the top of the hill, we encounter a construction worker who alerted us to the work ahead, pointing us to the detour route. Dream stopped there. I may have woken up again afterwards on account of how weird that was.

Oh damn, I've been wanting to share this one.

In my dream, I was a pink Sonic and I was running along this Mario Kart road with a paraglider and on my right was like, a Togepi and on my left was a Gengar. Then suddenly Sonic was hanging on as we launched into the air to cross this bridge, which looked like the Confederation Bridge connecting PEI and Nova Scotia. So as we were soaring, Gengar shouts, "We're not going high enough! Sonic's too fat!" And so I had to use all my will power to bring the glider higher in the air so we wouldn't crash. Eventually we got to the other side, landed on a random piece of grass, where a Lapras was waiting for us. It apparently was there for us to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

That's when I woke up. I was like, "What the fuck?"

A dream where I had to stop a mad scientist from taking over the world with hypnotic ice cream.
Analysis: I was a kid, I was a fan of saturday cartoons, and I really liked ice cream. Enough said.

i used to have a recurring nightmare once every three monts or so, i was up in a belltower, with a sort of walkway around the edges and a large squire hole in the middle all the way down to the floor, an every single time, i did the same thing and just walked off, whatever i tried to do myself ( e.g. no controll, while i can usualy controll my actions in dreams )
and plumeted to my doom.
and every single time when i in the dream would fall down the belltower, i fell from my bed on to the floor at the same time, so when i would have hit the floor in the dream, i was awake and hit the floor in real life. quite disconcerning XD

also i once had a rrreaaaly weard dream.
i was in a house, but the inside of the house was like an old fashioned pirate ship. dimly lit, lots of shadows. some people sleaping in the corners.
i went round to exploring, and found a door that led to a bedroom of sorts, with a gargantuan box of treasure in front of the bed, but on the bed, was my current girlfriend ( who was not so back then ) dressed in a HIGHLY arousing version of a pirate costume. trying to pursuade me that shes much more interesting then a box of treasure. long story short, i ended up with no treasure.
after which, i left again. -pan away from me to the room with them in it, the pirate king ( fat man, impressive hat) told my GF that she did good in saving the treasure XD
-back to me- i left the house/boat and wandered outside, it was cold, i was in some sort of housing area close to a park of sorts, so i entered the park. where i found a grassy area covered with snow with men on scottish highlinders (large, horned, hairy cows) led by some guy called wild bill XD, talked with them, went on, turned back, found they were gone, and only grassy holes in the snow caused by the warm cows were there.
then i went back into the residential area. got lost. got chased by some evil shadow thing.
then i encountered some old man, the shadow would not come close, he led me 'home' then i woke up, in q comfortable way. go old man!

One time I was cracked out on a new energy drink (dyno energy, avoid it like the plague). I was helping my friend with his eagle project and just passed out while I was walking, I dont even remember what hitting the ground.

Anyways, my dreams from that day were as follows:

First I dreamed I was at Winco, looking around the frozen foods section for something. I looked in a freezer and saw a bucket of something, it was labeled "Bucket of English". I picked it up and bought it. After that, I woke up and proceeded to my friends house to sleep on his bed.

The next dream I had started with a rainbow descending from the sky. Where it hit the ground, a meadow begin to grow, there were birds and bees and it just had an overall happy feel. The next thing I knew, an army of black blobs stormed the meadow, destroying everything, turning everything black. Death was everywhere, the rainbow disappeared and it was raining black blobs. I woke up and just thought 'wtf?!'.

Very interesting thread, I'll read it after I post. I just wanted to share mine, because I have two recurring dreams, and by recurring, I mean that I dreamed them as a child, and I still have them on occasion now. I never know when they will happen, I don't know why, but they always come back, and though the setting changes, the world doesn't.

Spoiler: Dream 1 - Flying

This one is pretty standard and cliche, your average flying/floating/falling dream. In these dreams, I have the ability to levitate myself off the ground. Now what I remember is that when I was younger, I was always able to do this to a great extend. It took some effort, but I was able to fly. I showed my parents, I had fun with it being able to rise a good 30-40 feet off the ground. This is a very real dream, as in it's not entirely lucid, but it is extremely sensory heavy. I see, hear, smell, touch, and taste everything in detail that could only really be topped by actually experiencing it. As well as my reactions, elation, vertigo, fear, the whole bit.

As the years have progressed, my ability to fly has...lessened, somewhat. When I dream, I still can float myself off the ground, but it's gotten harder. Generally, I can only fly when I feel I really need to, when my will is really in it. If I'm in danger or trouble, I can fly myself away from it, but if I'm trying to for no other reason, it's very difficult. I've also grown a bit afraid of it, because my control has lessened. I have a harder time staying up when I get up, and landing safely. More often than not now, I tend to fall, catching myself just enough so that I don't injure myself when I hit the ground. It's lent itself to a very real fear of falling, because it does hurt when I hit the ground to hard, and sometimes I will wake up and feel the parts of my body still hurting from where I landed. I suspect that fear of falling is the reason I cannot fly as well anymore, as my will to fly just isn't in it except when necessary as that fear was something I lacked as a child, but I haven't yet been able to overcome it. So that's that dream.

Spoiler: Dream 2 - Underwater

The other recurring dream that I've had since I was a child(I'm almost 25, by the way. I've had these dreams since as far back as I can remember, six or seven) is the one where I can breathe underwater. I remember very clearly how this one started. I remember being home and the water pipes in the wall all burst, sending fountains of water into the house. All of them at once filling the house with water until there was nowhere to go. it all happened very quickly with no time to react, and just as I couldn't hold my breath any longer, I breathed and I breathed just fine underwater. The feeling was incredible, like, well, like breathing water. It was hard, but I adjusted. This dream has taken me to a lot of places, from sitting on the bottom of a swimming pool watching people swim and running away from lifeguards that tried to *save* me to walking along the bottom of a lake admiring the scenery, to just laying in the bathtub enjoying the silence. It's just as vivid as the flying dream, full sensory and not quite lucid. I know I'm dreaming but I don't have any control over it. Unlike the flying dream though, this one has never lessened over the years. The abilty to breathe underwater has never become anything more or less, and it provides the nicest of feelings when I do have it. However I havve that one less often than the flying.

Spoiler: Dream 3 - Prophetic

I know I said two dreams, but I feel this one is worth mentioning it. I should put a disclaimer that I am a believer in the paranormal. Ghosts, ESP, all that good stuff, I believe in it to some degree or another. I do, however, have dreams from time to time that seem to have absolutely no real intrinsic value at the moment, however I remember them for a long time. Sometimes they are simple images that I'll dream for an entire dream sequence, sometimes it's a short vision, sometimes just a feeling coupled with a place. What they have in common is that all of them, at a later date, come to pass. My most notable one was a dream I had when I was about 6-8 years old. It was just an image, of a red building like a large pole barn, sparse trees in the background, the time of the year was autumn. The leaves had turned and begun to fall, but hadn't completely gone yet. The time was late afternoon, not evening yet, and I'm standing in an open space, like a blacktop parking lot but not as well done.

I dreamed that when I was between 6-8 years old. Some years later when I got to high school, I played in band and it was mandatory that all band members not in a fall sport participate in the marching band. So I was forced into it. WHen I went to the marching band training, I still remember the deja vu when I saw the barn. The image that I dreamed so long ago was a parking lot behind the high school right next to the football field. The barn was used to hold the grounds keeping equipment. The parking lot, when not used for parking, was spray painted with lines to be used as the marching band practice field. I was 14 as a freshman when I was in the marching band, leaving about a 6-8 year gap from when I dreamed it to when I saw it come to fruition. Since then, I've dreamed of things like internet chats, traffic on the roads, and other things that have never been of any real consequence. None of it has ever been under my control, but I have learned to take the dreams as lessons. Knowing what is about to happen and what to expect, and sometimes even what to change to make things go better. Maybe it's just deja vu and my imagination, or maybe they are actually prophetic dreams. I don't know either way and there's no way for me to prove it either way, so all I can say is what I've experienced. Take from it what you will.

A few of my more recent ones:

1) I was roaming across a post-apocalyptic wasteland in a burlap poncho. I came to a pier near a dried-up sea, and there was a bar full of evil dudes there, including Freddy Krueger. I had to fight Freddy, and had some kind of awesome laser magic spell. So we started fighting, then Cassandra Cain (one of the former Batgirls) swooped in and helped me. Then all three of us went and sat under a crumbling ferris wheel and ate peanuts.

2) I was riding a double-decker bus around a lake and talking to some dude in a charcoal-colored wool coat. I think the conversation was about comics. And then he held my hand for awhile. ...Yeah, it's not very interesting or exciting, but it's a fondly-remembered dream, because I am a loser. XD

3) I was in some abandoned, Silent Hill-esque town, running from a whole cult full of Slendermen (Slendermans? Slendermun? How is 'Slenderman' pluralized?) They kept popping up from every shadow, so I kept running until I got tired and hid in an abandoned laundromat. One of the Slendermen caught up at last and... gave me a new pair of shoes and patted me on the head.



Analysis of all three: I really need to stop spending so much time on the internet. God I'm a nerd. XD

What it means? Probably that you've been playing a lot of New Vegas and like that comedian. You feel conflicted about your opinion of Benny. He's likable, yet he's a monster who shot you in the head and left you for dead.

My weird dream: I find a copy of Demon's Souls lying on the floor in my basement. Out of curiosity, I place the disc inside my XBox 360 (my only console at the time) and booted it up. Turns out that the disc runs! So, I sit down to enjoy some demon slaying goodness, when the Sony Police break into my house and shoot me in the legs. I'm then dragged off to a Sony re-education camp.

Flash back to 1999 or so. I'd spent an entire day playing Panzer General and trying in vain to get a Decisive Victory in the Stalingrad scenario. I was having about as much luck as the actual Germans did when it came to winning that battle.

I went to sleep that night and dreamed I was the field operations commander for the battle for the Wehrmacht...and it was right out of a war movie. I solved the problem and the Nazis went on to win WW2.

So what did I do when I woke up? Fired up the game, applied the strategy that came to me in my dreams, and...Decisive Victory.

Panzer General might very well be the only game I've ever literally beaten in my sleep.

I've done this many times. It's been a proven system for me. When it comes to strategy games that I'm having a hard time with, I tend to sleep on them. In my dreams I'll run through senerios calculating variables in ways that I'm honestly not sure how it works >.> but running every possible dice roll and every possible formation and tactic in a single night has helped me beat a lot of games.

I had just closed the door, thinking it was all over. I was about to walk away, when BAM! The giant, man-eating hamster burst forth from the bathroom, seeking blood. He was white and orange. Him and I fought voraciously, but I couldn't manage to break his fucking trachea, no matter how many times I elbowed the fucker.

...It was scary T__T

That is bizarre. Paul McDermott isn't likable in the least. I hate that guy.

I think our opinions differ here. I do quite like him. But him randomly teleporting into the room is quite strange...

 

[Nikolaz72]

I remember it like i dreamt it yesterday "OH wait i did"

Anyway i was being held down/tied on top a maddress in this apartment, blood falling from the top of my head and the room covered in smoke. The maddress was on top of a piano on fire that somebody was playing while laughing. Just before the dream ended i saw embers jumping up from below lighting the room for a second.

I... Didnt feel like sleeping afterwards.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

I was playing AC brotherhood as desmond and awoke at the end of a P.E lesson in a games hall full off beds and my teacher was making some sort of templar related joke... i have a lot of asscreed related dreams.

I've also fought iron man and done the dirty with scarlett johannsen. Awesome.

I used to have this dream where I'd be asleep. Just lying on my bed, eyes closed and dozing. I'd start to feel a light tap on my forehead, like water dripping on me, but instead of waking up and looking at it I'd just wipe at it with my hand and try to get back to sleep. The dripping would slowly get worse, so I'd start to open my eyes to look at my hand which would be covered in blood. I'd panic and look up, wonder what the hell was going on and see me with my throat cut attached to the ceiling and bleeding out.

I used to hate dreaming.

 

[Terrik]

Met a guy I did my military service with, who I havn't met in 3 years now. He had a baby with him and was looking for his new girlfriend, whom he hasn't met before... So I help him find her, but it turns out he is really Captain America and his girlfriend is actually a criminal he is chasing, upon revealing this he flies away and leaves the baby on the ground...

My dreams are comedy gold, it's a shame I only remember small parts of them.

 

[ColeBarrett]

Had a weird dream where I was in the middle of my city and it is void/empty of all people. Its very dark with breaks in the sky giving off red/orange hues that provide very little light to see. The street/traffic lights work but mainly everything is dark and no matter where I go I cant find anyone....

 

[Mcupobob]

Well there was no sound and I was next to sports car talking to someone, it was in third person view and first person kept switching back. We drove down some weird street where the scenery kept shifting and then I woke up.

I've also had plenty of dreams where I will not wake up no matter what in till I finish my dream priority. Though I completely forget what it is in after I get up though.

Two dreams I had as kid and the only ones that I remember fully. They have stuck with me my whole life.

The first, well my parents used to take care of this old lady when I was a kid and we lived at her house. I had a dream where she was a giant snake thing but it had here face and I was endlessly running down a slimly hallway and she just kept chasing me.

The second, I was on a old boat out in the middle of the ocean. This guy dressed up as a wizard/pirate thing, just started speaking gibberish to me, it was just me and him and the boat and he wouldn't shut up in till everything went dark and a second boat arrived I could see on the second boat it was me sitting there listing to the wizard guy blather on, but the boat I was on suddenly changed and so did the guy. He looked evil, and just stared at me saying nothing and a stormed started and the dream went form first person to third person, like I could see some camera zooming out form atop my head then farther till I got a top view of the evil boat I was on then farther out again to a top view of the endless ocean then I just woke up.

 

[[.redacted]]

I had a dream in which I lived through nearly the entirety of my life to come, through university, through my jobs and working life, to my death.

It was really boring, and to make things worse, when I finally died it zoomed out 3rd person style to show my significance within the universe.

I have to say, I was (still am to an extent) depressed as a result: there's nothing quite as frightening to me as knowing that that life is one I could potentially lead - uneventful, dull and meaningless.

It's put things into perspective for me in a way that I suppose qualifies it as a nightmare, but it's certainly a weird dream.
