You guys have weird dreams?

[Omega Weapon]

It was more like, you build your own fort like in Minecraft. If you get challenged to a duel, it goes all Yu-Gi-Oh!, but the monsters themselves fight like they are in Skyrim.

Some of the dreams I'm seeing here, are pretty strange, even by my rather, um, "open" definitions of strange. I have trouble remembering my dreams, so I try that much harder to hold onto the ones I do remember, so...

- Not sure if I was asleep and dreaming or in that odd half-awake-half-asleep state that can occur when you're trying to fall asleep, but I remember one from when I was a kid where humanoid (shaped vaguely like a human, I mean,) radioactive bugs (I wanna say roaches, but I'm not sure that fits my memory,) rise up from within mines worldwide and try covertly attack and take over / destroy humankind. 

- A few years after the above dream, still a kid, I'm walking to my bus-stop 2 or so blocks from my house and I find a strange blond girl. I think I remember talking to her in the dream and then following her for a little while, only to find that I've wandered into a nest of giant bees. They attack me and I run back to my house, shut the door, and then put a bucket lego blocks in front of it. And then I proceed to wake up.

- And finally, probably the strangest one I remember, and the most recent ( 2 years ago I think,) I'm exploring an abandoned barn that's on the property my grandparent rent and live on with my cousin. On the way there / in the barn (forget which,) we encounter a strange Hyena / Panther creature. We then explore a shed a little distance away, and I realize that who I thought was my cousin seems to be wearing a mask. I pull it off, only to find it's my cousin's sister, except that doesn't seem right either... And then I wake up.

Why do dreams always seem to end before we can get anything resolved in them, or at least get some kind of ending?

I need to keep a dream journal.

The most horrifying dream I've ever had involved me hiding in a convenience store (More specifically, an ice cream freezer. Why is there ice cream in Hell? That doesn't sound like Hell to me. Oh well, it's a dream. Screw logic.) in Hell to escape Satan's wrath. It ended poorly, with Satan catching me and throwing me into fire and stuff. And that's when I woke up. The scariest part? I had a thin red comforter over my face. That means that when I opened my eyes, all I saw was red. It freaked me out.

I've had more dreams, but I don't remember any of them.

Why do dreams always seem to end before we can get anything resolved in them, or at least get some kind of ending? 

Sometimes I'm able to go half-lucid deus ex machina mode and quickly resolve any problem that wasn't resolved before I wake up. Like if someone's in trouble and I'm about to wake up, I instantly make up some new ability to be able to help them and easily defeat the antagonist in mere seconds. Sure, at this point it's getting blurry, but...it sorta works. And sometimes, very rarely, I'm able to fall back asleep immediately and the dream continues where it left off, it's amazing...except for the fact that it's happened with nightmares before.

I once had a nightmare that I was being chased by the fry guys from McD's (you know, those colored pom poms with chicken legs and shoes from about 20 years ago).  

...they were trying to eat me.  Gawd that was horrible.

You all have such nice, interesting dreams. I don't dream usually (well it's said we all dream, but I almost never have one that I remember if it is true that we do dream every night) The only dream I remember having in the last ten years was about a month and a half ago and if I don't ever dream another dream then it will be to soon. I'm not going into any details because it was really really hosed up but it basically involved one of my best friends from childhood raping my daughter... I don't know what brought that on, my daughter doesn't even know this person and I haven't seen him in over two years and I know there is no way he'd ever do something like that, he just isn't the kind of person that would. But that didn't stop me from staying up sleepless the rest of the night and verifying that there was no way that anything like that could have happened (I'm attentive enough that it couldn't have, but I couldn't sleep at all for the next three days for fear it would recur) and even now over a month later if there was to come a chance for the two of us to catch up or something I would refuse, not because I believe that that scenerio could ever happen in any way, but I fricking dreamed it, therefor the vision of it happening is actually in my mind, and I don't know what I would do if we then came face to face, its scary and stupid but I honestly can't say that I wouldn't completely lose it if I were to meet with him after dreaming something like that, I mean, yeah it was just a dream but it was so hosed up that it actually influenced my real life relationship to the point that I don't know if I will ever see this guy again, even though he's one of my best friends and it pains me to think that I'd completely sever that relationship over a dream... but it's all that I can think of to do at the moment... dreams are a horrible thing.

edit: So Frick and hosed are changed but fricking is not... whatever mod is in charge of forum censorship might want to fix that...

 

[Dark_Metamorphosis]

I have the weirdest dreams all the time.. the silly thing is that I never remember them.. I usually just wake up from them and say 'that was a weird f-ing dream' and remember what it was all about for 5 minutes tops, and then it's completely blank. My memory is pretty damn crapy in general so I'm not really surprised. Even though I have dreamt some seriously crazy dreams I can't really remember them to the point as to share them in any reasonable text-format.. I do however know that my recent dreams have involved people that I havn't met in ages, people that I never even think about when I'm awake.. but for some reason they end up in my dreams in the most weridest fashion you can think off.. (Anyone that has experienced this as well?)

 

[Seacliff]

Okay, my dreams have no set plots whatsoever, but I usually remember them unlike most people...

-I had a dream that went on for 20 years... there was time skips, but it sure felt a long time between going to sleep and waking up.

-I was in japan, and everyone was speaking English, I could also fly, and the weirdest part was I knew I was dreaming and I had this song stuck in my head.

-Just last night, there was a yellow giant spider drinking milk in my fridge...

Wow what an interesting thread haha... so many bizzare dreams.

I'm really a fan of dreaming, and done allot of studying about them. The most interesting aspect of it for me is Lucid Dreaming. I missed it if anyone talked about having those, but I'll just kinda explain really quick what it is (if you don't know)

Lucid Dreaming is where you suddenly realize, in the middle of a dream, that you are in a dream. You come fully into awareness while still in the dream world. People who lucid dream often can change the world around them, fly around, and talk to people they know, and when they awake they remember it all clear as day, because they were completely conscious. And it lasts for hours or seconds, until you wake up or drift back out of awareness. Some people naturally have these, like my friend growing up, some people (most) never have them.

The only time I ever did this, it didn't last long, and it was pretty weird. I was wandering around an entirely empty closed down mall, and I ran into a wall covered in a giant stone sculpture of a lions face with a clock in its forehead. I looked at the clock, and saw that the hands were spinning crazily in all directions. This is the key for lucid dreaming, because time in a dream does not stay the same, (the same goes for text on pages, you look away and look back and it is different every time) and when I saw this, since I have kinda trained myself to see the signs, I suddenly went 'oh geez! I'm dreaming!' And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt like I roared into awareness, it was the craziest feeling I've ever had in a dream. My senses became so acute, and my vision seemed to clear like a fog was lifted from my eyes. I turned around and basically tripped out, saying 'Oh man, oh man what do I do, what should I do?' and then I just completely lost it and drifted back into sleep. I don't remember the rest of the dream until later I was standing in a group of girls who I haven't ever seen before, talking about something I didn't remember, when I looked at a magazine one of the girls was holding. The cover was some woman's digest or something. I looked away, and then back, and saw that the cover had turned into a car magazine. I instantly had the same rushing feeling of awareness. I looked around wildly at the oblivious dream-women who were nattering on about whatever they were saying, but all I could think was 'AHHH ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!!!' the exhilarating crazy feeling of lucid dreaming is just apparently too much for my brain to handle, because I slipped right back out of it again xD but when I woke up I knew what had happened, and remembered those moments like they had happened the day before.

Either way, I dream of some day being able to control the lucid dream and stay in it. My friend said he spends hours lucid dreaming, learning to fly around, talking to his deceased relatives sometimes... crazy stuff!

Anyway, I know it's not the most interesting story but I thought I'd share my bit xD

 

[ChaosDecides]

All my dreams are weird.

@Neverward

Though it doesn't happen often, whenever I do Lucid dream it sticks with me for at least a while. I do love it when it happens, but I always worry, thinking of things like: "I wish I could know what time it is" or "My mom might wake me up any moment now...".

And yes, flying is fun, but it's difficult to master sometimes. 

 

[senpoRiot]

[Solo]

Frostyfirefly, on prophetic dreams of games: I don't know if you played the game or not, but I dreamt of the underwater tunnels at Pinnacle Rocks in Majora's Mask when I was about five years old. In the dream, my viewpoint was inside one and looking out. They're mostly black if I recall correctly, with rings of azure blue; just as one appeared in the dream. When I got there in the game all those years later, I was like: HOLY CRAP.

I actually do keep a dream journal of my most interesting dreams. And lucid dreaming is always nice.  One time I dreamt that I was playing Mega Man 6, and there was a Sniper Joe in Tomahawk Man's level. I knew that couldn't be possible, so I realized I was dreaming. I consciously walked downstairs into my living room and out through the kitchen to the back yard. Out my back door, there are stairs, but there was also a deck in the dream. Two people were there - my deceased grandmother and a mysterious "other woman" whom I couldn't identify (but I have an uncanny feeling that she may have been someone who lived at my house previously...). I looked up toward the roof of the house, and made a huge leap up there. Looking out over the whole neighborhood, I leapt again and achieved levitation/weightlessness. The feeling was utterly exhilarating. It felt so real. I REALLY felt the grip of gravity leave my body, and it felt amazing!

However, when I tried to move forward and fly, I couldn't, and ended up crash-landing a few houses down the street. It didn't hurt, though, and I got back up and tried lifting myself into the air again. This time, everything faded to white, and I saw a silvery circle in front of me; its silvery shades were swirling around. Then my viewpoint shifted to the floor of my living room, and I heard the voices of my mother and my nephew, who was staying with us at the time. After that, I was suddenly in my grandparents' living room with a girl I might have met before, not sure. Anyway, she was watching (and scoffing at) a documentary about aliens on TV. The dream then became a view of a drawing on paper of a UFO sucking up peoples' souls. I was then in the UFO with the aliens, and the dream suddenly ended there.

...Wow.

EDIT: Just thought to add, I've had numerous terrifying nightmares of alien invasions. And I mean they were realistic. In one, there was a massive "mothership" with its cannon pointed toward the city I was in. My father and I were listening to the radio, which said the aliens were tearing people to shreds all over town. We even went to one of the sites of the massacres (a Burger King they had demolished). Other such dreams are mostly about me looking up into the sky or out a window and seeing enormous UFOs that strike fear into my heart.

Yeah... hopefully THOSE aren't prophetic...  One explanation is that I've watched a lot of UFO Hunters.

But I totally believe in prophetic dreams... and a whole lot more about dreams, too, but I don't want to get into differences of opinion there.

This baby's substantial enough to warrant being posted in this thread.

I was in my old house, in the spare bedroom with a group of people I didn't know. We had an overwhelming sense of a vague danger coming for us, and I didnt know how to react to it. The group and I were collecting and checking weapons, and when I was handed a gun, I felt the pressure to escape and shot myself in the temple. The rest of the people were like "aww.... No!" but for some reason I didnt actually die. I just lay there for a while able to see everything going on.

A little while later a second group infiltrated the house, and my group fled to the rest of the house. A brawl ensued, I could hear it from my position. When someone entered the room, I stayed perfectly still. For some reason I was fine despite the bullethole in my skull, so I used this to my advantage. I played dead and when the stranger's back was turned I sprung into an attack. Wham. Bam. Predator style. 

Later I would learn that there was a battle going on, it was an every-man-for-himself kind of deal. The few pieces I remember after that mostly revolved around trying to find safety, playing dead, evading enemies and protecting myself where necessary. 

Eventually, I got to a point where I was confronted by a guy carrying a sword. Somehow I knew he would be a difficult opponent. He fell for the playing dead trick, but I wasnt able to inflict a fatal wound. We found ourselves in a battle with one another and it culminated in a sword duel in the middle of a street during the final hours of the battle royale. We were evenly matched, neither could get the advantage on the other. Seemingly, we enjoyed our fracca and decided to end the battle only in non-fatal wounds so that we could have another duel the following battle royale.

As everything was winding down and the battle over, I queried about his stab vest and where to get one. He gave me some information on a store but commented "they're pretty expensive though."

And then I woke up.

I fell asleep a second time and had a dream I was at school. I got frustrated at being bored so I left and then woke up again.

West Mains, your dream about a conflict in a house reminded me of another dream I had.

I was in this room with some of my family members, just talking, when suddenly, one of the walls exploded, and some guy wearing face paint like members of the band Kiss jumped out, holding an axe, and roared at us. Everyone screamed and started running for the door, but as for me... well, I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with those ACCURSED dreams where you move in slow motion? Yeah, that's what happened.

Fortunately, my nephew said "Jump on my back!" and gave me a piggyback ride out of the room. But the Kiss face paint guy was chasing us, and just as we were about to turn the corner and enter another room, I woke up...

 

[Davant]

...I usually just dream about the day I had. Certainly some weird things going on in this thread!

...I usually just dream about the day I had. 

In scientific terms that's called day residue.

Last dream I had:

I was walking around in town. I came across a lot of people I know. They were acting quite normal. Then they started talking like they were in a game. Asked what it was about. Then I saw them all wearing some kind of headset. Other person explained to me that it was the newest game: easy enough to get into for the casuals, with enough depth and challenge for the hardcore gamers, and it is built on your environment. They didn't notice me at first because I didn't wear some kind of headset, so they thought of me as a generic NPC. The game was really immersive, so they say. Something about a rebellion, being repeated in history, and that the previous rebellion was led by someone called the "Laijon" (Lah-ee-yon, for those who wonder). The goal of the game was to become the next Laijon, who will guide the people to freedom.

Next day,I looked up the game, top scores in every ranking, "Best MMRPG since the beginning of gaming" and such. Asked my parents if I could get it too. Obvious no as the answer. I went back to town, same people, but this time, it was like I didn't even exist! Immersion rate went off the charts, I think. Not shortly after, I found out that I could still influence the game, from outside, by leading them across the street safely and such. When talking, I was like the little voice in the head to them, who tells you what to do. I kind of played the game through them. Nice, I thought, then it became creepy. I started to see the "game world" as some kind of ghost image being projected on the real world.

A week later, I received a letter from the company who made the game. An invitation and a message. They were watching me, and invited me to "discuss" some stuff. Sudden realisation: I became the Laijon! The one who will lead the rebellion. Then, because it is a dream, a slightly different package arrived: A microphone, and an "all-seeing-eye tablet". I had to lead the players, like some kind of god. 

Then, the storming of the castle. Revolution is coming. Turns out the real life counterpart of the castle, was in fact the gaming company. We all went inside, but I had to take a different route, as I was invisible to them, but my real life hitbox still applied. We stopped the "evil king" and "regained our land". Then, the game world dissolved, and everyone got back to reality. They finished the game, but didn't know who won. Demanding an answer, I got out of my hiding spot.

The director pointed at me, "There is your Laijon". Words of disbelief and "unfair, she didn't even buy the game!" "How could she pirate it in the first place" "Da Hell?!?!". 

Director explained that it was the point all along. They developed the most immersive gaming system to date, but it still had its flaws. The Laijon had to be someone without the game, to look out for the players, because the real world is still there. "But you all enjoyed it, right? We're a gaming company, we bring enjoyment, so did we achieve our goal? Unite the people, let them play a grand game together while enjoying EVERY moment of it?"

And there was much rejoicing. I received my "special edition gaming set". The gameworld was reactivated, but with some patches, to warn you for real life dangers and such. I could still see through the game world, because I was the unseen hero of the story. World's biggest MMRPG, still played as far as I know, in my dreamworld.

This could make for some nice RPG, though.

define weird... I have lots of those... especially years ago...
