Dreams/Nightmares

[mako88sb]

I don't know if this is been done here before but thought it might be interesting/entertaining to hear about the strangest or most memorable dream/nightmare you had. I've had some doozies over the years but most of them I forget pretty quickly. Here's the one I had a couple nights ago:

First off, I'm Canadian but my dream started off with me being a sailor on board an aircraft carrier somewhere in the Caribbean. I'm much too old to be changing careers so don't ask me why. No idea of which carrier but definitely American. So far not a bad dream but I'm sure a bit of a nightmare for the USN. Things deteriorated pretty quickly when the lady captain of our ship who vaguely resembled Captain Janeway happened to notice a food container had been tossed overboard. Nobody would admit to being the culprit so she decided on randomly picking 15 of us to be abandoned on a deserted island and of course I was one of those selected. Hmm! A bit harsh even for a dream. In pretty short order the 15 of us were dropped off with pretty well nothing but the shirts on our backs. One of the stranded also happened to be a pregnant ensign.

Some of the dream is already a bit fuzzy but I do remember asking the captain that if can make it to the US border somehow, will I be allowed to walk back to Canada? She rather rudely told me NO!! She then told the rest of us that they would never be allowed back home. Something I thought really odd was that I was worrying a lot about my teeth and wondering how long they would last without regular dental care. I've always had great teeth with minimal problems so why I'm worrying about this in a dream is a bit weird. I also remember flipping out a bit about how somebody could condemn 15 people to a fate like this over a bloody food container. Strangely, everybody else including the pregnant ensign just seemed to be accepting all of this and were giving me funny looks as if to say, "shut up and quit with the whining".

So, at some point during this dream, I decide to head over to the north side of the Island thinking I might be able to see more islands that might be close enough to swim to. Everybody else seems peachy-keen about just staying put so I'm off on my own. I soon find following the beach around to the other side is a no-go because of high cliffs and have to climb up some pretty rugged terrain. This climb seems to have been the longest lasting part of my dream and I remember coming up against impassable terrain a couple times and having to backtrack a fair bit. Finally reached the top and sure enough there's a island off in the distance. Close enough though, that I can see what looks like a resort area.

This is when I really get to feeling distraught about my situation. How can I swim that far? Is there sharks around? I have no money or passport. Will I ever see my wife and kids again? I woke up around this time but it took awhile before my groggy mind was able to figure out I had been dreaming. Wow! What a relief. None of it happened! I'm sure everybody has had that feeling before. My wife was sleeping soundly or I would of told her about it. I rolled over and was asleep in minutes.

This is when something very unusual for me happened. I resumed my dream. I had a friend who did this quite often, especially when he was younger. This was the 3rd time for me that I can remember. I didn't resume were I had ended up at the top of the hill. I had skipped over the swimming across and fighting off sharks part and was now in the resort area. Not much to the rest of this as I woke up again soon after. All I can recall is trying to find somebody I thought looked friendly enough and might be willing to help.


I found a site that might be able to help me analyse my dream. Just not sure if I should bother. Has anybody here ever taken the time to figure out what their dream is about? Anyway, if anybody else has one to share, go for it.

My wife often gets up and says she had a brilliant/scary/bizarre dream. I pretend I didn't hear because I've learned not to ask her what happened: she will describe every last flaming detail. Just like you did :har:

Seriously, though, when I was a kid I dreamed my Uncle John turned into a griffon, and then another one had an Egyptian mummy's head on a wall (like a hunting trophy) which started coming to life during a thunderstorm.

Maybe I eat too much cheese.

You ought to ask Catfish, he has them while he's awake... here's a selection:

I often experience dreams but usually have trouble making sense of them when I wake up :doh:

Oops! Not a good sign. That's twice in a month that somebody said I sound like their wife. :doh: Sorry if it was too much detail but like I said, I usually forget my dreams pretty quickly. I think I will see about what kind of meaning might be behind this one. Must admit I've been thinking about it a lot. We have a young lady who's a lead-hand in our department who I think is getting fast tracked by somebody in upper management. Wouldn't be one bit surprised if she becomes our boss someday and maybe my dream is a warning about what it will be like to work for her. Does, your wife get paranoid sometimes? lol

[Eichhörnchen]

I can remember a dream if I make an effort to go over it as soon as I wake up, otherwise I usually forget all about it.

If my wife has a nightmare I like to wake her up and ask her all about it, because the scary ones I do like to hear about. She doesn't like me doing this at all, however, because she doesn't want to be thinking about it all the next day.

Funny, my mom and I were just discussing this subject the other day. I have very memorable and detailed dreams. Sometimes i have several different dreams that are completely unrelated

Last night i dreamed I was a police officer in plain clothes on the sidelines of the superbowl as part of security. One team was losing very badly going into the half, one of the players, a half back, came onto the sideline and in frustration with the coaching play calls, punched the coach in the face and latched onto him. I tried to break the two men up but this NFL player was much stronger than I. He began strangling the coach and beating him badly, so i had to pull my firearm. By then the player realized the seriousness of the situation and complied with my instructions to lay face down on the ground. within seconds, uniformed officers were leading him away. I holstered my pistol and noticed that in the altercation my badge (which clips to the belt) had fallen onto the ground, i retrieved it and clipped it back on and sat on a nearby bench in disbelief over having to almost shoot a famous NFL football player on national television. I then realized that one of the teams was a college team, and the other team was an NFL team. I remember thinking "well, thats not a fair match up in the super bowl" then i remember thinking "This is my gun... but I'm not a cop, why am i thinking i'm a cop?" then i woke up to take a piss

I also dreamed that i was an astronaut, part of a crew of half a dozen others, there was a problem with the spacecraft and it was venting atmosphere and several automated systems had failed. Myself and another astronaut were tasked with donning suits and going EVA to manually attach a docking collar to the international space station so the craft could be evacuated. We tried and tried for what seemed like an eternity to mate the two together but i could not get the ISS docking collar (which was like a massive flexible tube) to form an air tight seal with the spacecraft hatch. I was quickly coming to the realization that the docking collar tube on the ISS - while similar to the hatch of the spacecraft - was not an exact match and it was quickly becoming evident that it would be impossible to get the two to connect. I remember the crew aboard both the ISS and the spacecraft watching out of small windows, their voices asking for updates on the progress with almost annoying frequency. the last question was ", we are running out of O2 in here, How much longer do you think you need to get these things connected?" i looked at my wrist at a small screen, my O2 was also running low and i checked the estimated EVA time remaining at current O2 levels, i transmitted to the crew "In 14 minutes I'll be a corpse drifting into space if that answers your &#%$ question!" after a few seconds of silence i said "Guys... we need a plan B here. these docking collars are two different designs, this isnt going to work." and i woke up

It's so amazing. I had the very same dream the other night too. The only difference is when I was in the water, I heard the theme songs from jaws playing right before I saw jaws coming at me. The shark was followed closely by Roy Schieder screaming, " we're going to need a bigger boat . :03:

Seriously, Some dreams seem so real it can take a minute or 2 waking up before one realizes it was just a dream.

None of my dreams come close to what you dream i dream :stare:

[STEED]

I have noticed I now sleep all the way though nightmares and not wake up suddenly. One strange one I'm in a lift and no not plunging downwards instead going up at high speed though the roof all the way to the sky! :o

What is that all about?

[U505995]

I had a dream where me and my dad worked for Jason Vorhees (that guy with the hockey mask) on a farm. We would drive to work in the cramped cab of an Allis Chalmers tractor to my grandma's house which was now strangely owned by Jason. Then we would plant corn while Jason watched from the side of the field rather creepily.

[Catfish]

When i was very young i was afraid of nightmare dreams, however at one point in my sleep it was like reading a book. A dream came to an end, and i somehow knew it, and was presented with an old-looking book. Turning the page ended the last dream, and on the new page there was the picture of a ghost or some creepy stuff. If i turned the page a very bad dream started right away. But if i decided to close the book at that point, i instantly woke up.
This lasted for several years, and took away my fear of nightmare dreams, since i had somehow found a trick to control it. :hmmm:

[fumo30]

I have repeadetly seen dreams in which I'm looking at some kind of a blue map with squares and numbers in them. I also hear diesel engines running background???
Usually in these dreams I can hear someone saying in german like... "wir sind beschädigt".

I never figured out what an earth could cause such strange and scary dreaming.:03:
Any ideas?:)

[mapuc]

Now and then I can somehow change my dreams while I'm dreaming-I so to say "start to think in my dream-that weird or I don't like this dream" and then a new "movie" start. Sometimes I force myself to wake-up.

(I don't know the exact words for following explanations)

When you are awake, you use something in you brain, when you see something or hear something that makes you "think" This part works even when I'm dreaming. Mostly that is.

It also happens that I dream in dream or dream in a dream in a dream.

I can tell you I ain't had a nightmare for years

What is that all about?

I have a recurring one similar to that except I'm not going straight up so no lift involved. It's like I'm getting launched into a pretty high arc by various different means over the years. Once was because of a roller coaster incident for example. Anyway, it's a pretty freaky feeling especially when I get to the high point of the arc and I experience zero-g briefly before the inevitable plunge at which point I eventually wake up. The height of the arc is always changing to. Sometimes it's not much and might be survivable in real life but other times I'm way above the clouds.

So in yours, I take it you just keep going up the whole time? Must be quite the view.

[Eichhörnchen]

This is called "lucid dreaming" :up:

I don't recall a UFO. :hmmm:

But I do wake up with headaches, maybe a clumsy alien caused them. :hmmm:

Every morning, i wonder who this alien in the mirror might be :dead:

[mako88sb]

I think the more appropriate question would be is there anybody here who hasn't had one?

[Commander Wallace]

So... anybody have wet dreams?


Yes. A friend of mine does. That's the name of his awesome boat. :haha: He bought it new a couple years ago and had that name airbrushed on it.

All sorts of people give him a lot of grief for the name. It's ok, he invites abuse. It would be very rude not to oblige. :rotfl2:

Most of the time I both realise that i am dreaming and have a degree of control over the dream. This leads to me... adventuring in the dreams.

One of my most rememberable "adventures" was:
- I fall asleep.
- I go and say something on the lines of, now lets go on adventure!
- I get issued full plate armour, sword and i get the mission to save a princess from an evill regant.
- I prompty sneak into the castle and offer the princess my rescue services.
- She refuses to be rescued before the regant being defeated.
- I go to defeat the regant, get my sword flaming (monsters regenerate so slashes were not enough), fly around and open the path.
- Some monsters ambush me, drag me into the water pool, flame goes out.
- Princess runs forward instead of stopping to save me.
- I die.
- I come back as a shadow to a ball, regant finds me out and I ask him to set the princess free. He then explains to me that the previous king+queen were horrible tyrants and he actually keeps the princess safe from the masses.
- I wake up in dissapointment.

[Eichhörnchen]

@ STEED: that was a pretty cruel kind of dream... I don't want another one like that (I woke up with a yell).

@ Aktung: Tango's not responded to PM's or emails since his last, final, disappearance. A shame that... I miss him. He went from being here, there and everywhere to complete silence. I hope he's OK.

You know i never really knew until i recently researched it. but i have a condition called "Exploding head syndrome" while it sounds pretty epic and frightening its not.

EHS only occurs for me when i am under periods of great stress such as numerous looming deadlines for a number of clients, or adjusting to sleeping in a new place. Once it occurs, it is initially startling, but within 2 seconds i realize what happened.

It manifests itself when i am just drifting off to sleep... when suddenly i will experience and auditory and visual hallucination lasting only a brief second or two

the auditory component is similar to a balloon bursting, or a single second of very loud TV static and is similar in volume to what both events would actually be. More commonly the full volume TV static sound would be encountered.

the visual component is a simple white flash of light - though my eyes are closed, and i am just entering sleep. It is best compared to being in a dark, featureless room and suddenly there is a strike of lightening

the event lasts approximately one or maybe two seconds and is over

the first time i experienced this i was a young man in my late teens or early twenties... i dont remember exactly, but i do remember waking up, and walking around my room and bathroom looking for the source of this bright noisy flash, thinking that something "electrical" had taken place like a light bulb becoming over powered and busting (you know the sound i mean?) and woke me up. i found nothing and went back to bed.

after experiencing this several other times i determined that it was some sort of physiological response that my body was having as a reaction to natural sleep. I had heard of people twitching or kicking a leg upon falling asleep as the brains way of "making sure it was still alive" so very soon - perhaps after the third episode, i dismissed it as being just how my brain sometimes responds to shutting down for the night.

It was not until after experiencing this several times that i grew to realize that it seemed to occur during periods of stress or fatigue.

i would estimate that i experience perhaps as few as 3 to maybe as many as 5 bouts of "EHS" per year - though i never really counted them.

[Eichhörnchen]

My friend woke up with his hands around his wife's throat (she woke up pretty quick too, needless to say) so he had to sleep downstairs for a while after that...

[Aktungbby]

I never have these issues https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/HAL9000.svg/220px-HAL9000.svg.png (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HAL9000.svg):shucks: Will I dream?

[Oberon]

I'm sure Freud would have a field day with this one, either that or I need to cut back on the WWII based games.

Well, it starts off with my arriving at or near a new house, whether it's a place that I'll be living at, perhaps something in the psyche about the current situation I'm in, I don't know, but shortly after arrival I hear the unmistakable noise (https://youtu.be/FqHuOMFZKCo?t=8) of a Nebelwerfer.

http://i.imgur.com/eh1RAh4.jpg?1

I walk down the street a short way and encounter some WWII re-enactors, there's what looks like a Hetzer moving into a field nearby, and I find myself in a position of wanting to join in.
So, like any ordinary person does, I call in a Panther tank, much to the amazement of the re-enactors. For some reason Task Force is driving, probably harking back to our days of playing Red Orchestra where we'd take it in turns being the commander/gunner and driver of the various tanks (and making a pretty good team if I may say so).

http://i.imgur.com/pdHP5G5.jpg?1

Anyway, at this point it seemingly changes from a re-enactment to the real thing. The Panther advances forward into a field with infantry behind it, after encountering no resistance, I order the infantry to fan out and advance. Almost immediately we're fired upon from behind, a small copse of trees is hiding some form of machine gun, we turn the Panther to 'Links' and open fire with the co-ax MG, and then send a shell in. The sneaky MG stops firing, I want to send another shell to be sure but my loader cautions that we only have a limited number of shells to use.
For some reason I get the impression that this took place somewhere in Poland, one can only presume it was later war during the great retreat from the Soviet Union since a) ammo shortages and b) the Panther didn't exist in 1939.

At this point it changes again, and it's a different scene, on the far outskirts of a city where the Luftwaffe are firestorming it, there's a strong wind, the smell of water in the air, burst mains pipes perhaps or people desperately trying to put out the fires. I see nothing of the destruction of the city, but I'm aware that it's happening, I do see someone...a woman I think, walking down a dirt road, blackened and disheveled.

And then it changes again (my dreams do this a lot, it's almost like fast-forwarding through a program, a lot of the time there's a vague connection, but things like click one after the other. Perhaps it's my short attention span :haha:). This time it's a train full of people, dirty clothing, all different sexes and ages, probably civilian refugees. There's a cry of 'Juden!' from the front, and a stereotypically evil looking officer strides through the carriage, looking for the source of the cry, I don't make out any firm details of this officer other than his demeanour which is like something out of a typical SS officer in a war film.
A nurse is at the far end of the train, there's some babies and a young kid who is pleading, begging with the nurse to hide them or save them, she hushes the kid and then shuts herself and the boy on the other side of the doors which lead between carriages, it's the end of the train, what is she going to do? The officer comes through into the carriage, he stalks to the doors and fling them open, there's no-one there. One can only presume she was either able to hide outside of the doors somehow, or jump off the train. I didn't get the impression that the train was moving, so perhaps the latter was the case. The officer makes some snide comment about the fact that he will find them, and then a young boy stands up and challenges the officer, the mood in the carriage goes from high (but muted, of course, the occupants are happy that the nurse and that escaped but opt not to show it) to horrified, you just know that this poor kid has made a colossal mistake.

And then I woke up. :o

Curious dreams indeed, I wouldn't call them nightmares since there was no horror involved, if anything the horror was surgically removed, and when the horror would have commenced with the poor kid copping it from the SS officer, the dream promptly kicked me out. So there's that to be grateful for, I guess. Perhaps the non-horror stems from the lack of such things in the average war based game which is probably where a lot of this came from. I don't have war based dreams a lot, thankfully, which is perhaps why I remembered this one quite vividly.

Strange things. :hmmm:

A picture of a rusty sub on our Facebook page, made me remember a dream I had not so long after I got my driving license.

In this dream my friend came and said he and his friend had something for me as a present.

Next part in my dream I was sitting on the back seat, while my friend was sitting in front and his friend was driving. They were talking and I heard most of it

Do you think he know what we have for him?
No he don't
Have you finished the polishing
Oh year have spent the last 3 day doing just that.

Next part of my dream we are standing in front of a barn-My friend said go inside and see what we have for you.

I open the door and see lots of old rusty cars. I turn back looking at my friend saying.
So what is that you have for me ?

He said-this and pointed to wards a car.

?? that rusty wreckage ??

You are so ungrateful he said to me, do you know how much work we have put into this, my friend over there have spent days and hours polishing and my sister have washed the seats and the interior.

Try to imagine a car without any paint whatsoever and the seats without any cushioning-all you see is the springs

At this time the part of my brain I use, when I'm awake, kicked in and said what is this and then I woke up.

[Eichhörnchen]

My wife said just now: "Oh, thanks for punching me in the face last night".

She's always bringing home these zombie flicks, and the latest is a mini-series called "The Strain" and, as usual, I got dreaming about the undead. Last night I was in a rundown yard (in the dark) with another guy, trying to revive a friend, when this zombie fella came inching his way in through the gate right by me.

I lunged at him, calling out "Look out!" At this point I apparently smacked my missus right in the chops. I had called out "Look out" as I did it, too, so she got some warning. Being fast asleep, however, she didn't stand much chance :D

That's pretty cool about having some kind of control in your dream. I wonder how rare that is? Might be worth looking into. About the dying part. How often does that happen to anyone here? I don't recall ever dying in a dream and I was always kind of under the impression that if you die from something like a fall from very high up in a dream, you'll die in your sleep. Not sure how anyone would ever know but I guess that's a way to explain some unusual deaths while someone is sleeping. Anyway, I found out that's a myth as there are people like you who have experienced the same.
