what is the weirdest dream you've ever had?

have you ever had a dream that came true?

Twice, but one was rather indirect.

The first was that I dreamed I had lost somebody very close to me. I remember crying in the dream, and when I woke up I felt like I had been crying (stuffy nose, swollen face, sore throat, etc.). My boyfriend at the time (who spent the night with me) mentioned how upset I was when I woke up. Less than an hour later, my father called to let me know that my grandmother had passed.

The second happened the night before I was to fly to Baltimore from Cleveland to see my boyfriend (not the same as above). I dreamed that he broke up with me, which really happened. I think I knew before that day that my boyfriend and I would break up (from the conversations we'd had over the phone), so I don't think that much of the dream. But, the dream I had before my grandmother died is a bit more spooky. She had been in perfect health until she passed (in her sleep).

I love talking about dreams. It's fascinating!
I seem to go through periods of dreaming. It's weird, but when I seem to have alot of deja vu experiences during the day, I end up dreaming that night.

Here's my dream.


The dream always starts out with me walking home from public school. I am approaching my apartment building and I look up to see the whole building is covered in ash and burned. But you can still see the outline of the building and each apartment unit. I look up to see my mother in our apartment sitting in a rocking chair knitting in the middle of all the ashes! Really weird.

So I enter the lobby of the building and go to the elevator. I get in the elevator and there are no buttons to push to select what floor you want to get off at. So then I freak and the elevator returns to the lobby and I get out. Then I run to the staircase and I figure I'll walk up to my apartment (but the inside of the building isn't burnt). I'm in the staircase but their is no 10th floor where my apartment should be.

I've had this dream for 10 years and nothing ever changes.

oh yeah. two summers ago i was on a drug called amaytryptiline (sp) for migraines (used to treat chronic pain and stress disorders -- i've heard it mentioned for cats here). what they didn't tell me was one of the side effects is nightmares.

for two days i had been walking cornfields with another guy hooked up to a gps receiver and we were being followed by another guy on a mower with a 6 foot cutting deck. the corn was way over our heads and my job was to make sure the guy on the mower didn't hit my coworker.

so for a week after this job, had dreams about cornfields and being lost or being buried by corn stalks. one night i woke myself up by jumping out of bed screaming at the top of my lungs "oh sh**! oh sh**! oh sh**!"

that same summer i would wake up jumping out of bed and crash into my nightstand because i was dreaming that a red dragon was circling over me and i was trying to get away.

and they use this stuff to treat stress?!

I always have this weird dream about trains. I don't know why. I'm not in danger or anything, but the train is following me. The only thing is, it's not going fast. It's going at a snail's pace, and the colour of the sky is usually pink. And then when I reach the city limits, the sun rises and the sky turns yellow, and the train is gone. It's really weird. (And I swear I'm not on any strange/illegal drugs!).

I often have a dream where I am slipping on ice, and it actually causes me to flail around in my sleep, trying to "keep my balance".

Speaking of jumping out of bed, I'm a really bad sleepwalker and talker. Rob has a million stories of me doing weird things in my sleep.

I usually do this when I'm stressed. In the middle of the night I'll try to pull all the sheets off the bed because of 'huge spiders' or I'll jump to Rob's side of the bed because of owl attacks!! I've moved objects like lamps from the living room into the bathroom.

I never remember this, Rob has to give me a report of my 'night actions'

i dream there are snakes or mice in the bed. i can't fall back to sleep until i am sure there is nothing in the bed.

But at least you wake up!!

I don't I'm still in a dream state and I continue on my merry way!! It's crazy! I'll even turn the lights on in the bedroom and go back to sleep. Rob will wake up and ask me why the lights are on, but I'll be asleep and have no recollection.

I think I should get my own bedroom!

that reminds me, i had just moved into my place back in NZ and my furniture had not arrived yet so i borrowed my roomates cot and i set it up and i was barely drifting off (half asleep, half awake, but asleep enough to dream) and i dreamed that there was a huge spider hanging right in front of my face and i screamed that my roommate came running in and i made her look for the spider - she must have thought to herself 'what am i getting myself into???'

And look at you missy!! One month difference in our registration and you have way,way more posts than me! I remember at one point you were only 200 - 300 more than me!

My mom used to have dreams that her clock radio was transmitting very important messages, and she would wake Dad up in the middle of the night to tell him about it. He finally learned that if he just said "Ok dear. Yup, you're right" she would go back to sleep. I've only had a couple of those types of dreams. The first time I was still living at home and I dreamt that there was a bear in my room. Well, our dog Felicia was sleeping with me, and was I reached over in my sleep I felt her really coarse back hair and freaked out and of course, Felicia left my room. Still mostly asleep, I went into my parent's bedroom to tell Dad that there was a bear in the house, but at the last minute changed it to "there's an animal in the house" (I must have woke up enough to realize I was nuts). So Dad goes trapsing through the house trying to find this animal that I saw, which was really our dog. Poor Dad. I admitted the next morning that I must have had a dream like Mom's. Fortunately he was used to that!

For weird dreams, the ones I remember take the cake.

I had a recurring nightmare when I was younger (from about 5 years old to about 15) that our dog turned into this monster-dog (still looked the same but drooled and bared her teeth), who also said she was a "shark" in a real demonic voice and then came to kill us all. But if she just bit you, you would turn into a "shark" too. That's what happened to my sister.

I had a dream that all the postal carriers had become demonic dogs who all looked like my dog at the time, Felicia. You had to stay inside when the mail was being delivered because if the demon postal dogs caught you outside they would kill you.

(Almost all of my nightmares have dogs in them, and usually my current or past pet dogs. Very strange because I'm not scared of dogs at all.)

The strangest one of all, though, took place in the Old West, and I was riding a talking horse. We came upon an Indian ceremony where a disemboweled white buffalo, about 20 feet tall, was jumping around a fire. I got an Indian guide to help me cross a mountain, but we couldn't cross this one fence. As we were going up the mountain, the horse made me get off and walk because he was getting tired. I told the guide that the snow was really deep, and he replied "And warm too!" and that's when I realized that I was barefoot and had stepped on a dead body.

Told ya I have strange dreams!! My best friend told me I needed professional help. LOL I think she was kidding.

i know, im a real chatterbox
im so embarrassed

(not)

I go in cycles of remembering dreams. Sometimes I remember just that I dreamt, not the dream itself.

I have several types of dreams which occur fairly often. I used to have recurring dreams of tornados. Scary! Recently, I have had several dreams of exploring a large house. Some of the rooms are dark, and it is possibly haunted, but I still go poking around.

I used to have dreams that I was in public, and suddenly my skirt was gone, or my shirt.

One time, I was in danger in my dream, and I somehow realized I was dreaming and saved myself.

Even though I have never been suicidal, I had a very vivid dream where I committed suicide. I was sitting with my stainless Ruger 357 in my mouth, and my s/o and this girl I hate were standing there watching me. I pulled the trigger, and felt the life draining away, and watched them turn and walk away. I didn't sleep for weeks after that. To this day I still don't talk to that girl.
