Bad dreams: Describe one you've had recently

[prolesunited]

I just trying to see if I share similarities with anyone.

1. This is older, I posted it back in October

but since I don't remember dreams much, this is the last bad dream I recall:

"In the dream I had just got off the phone and was thirsty. I opened up the refrigerator, and inside there was a package of ham slices, the kind that are for sandwiches served with cheese on wonder bread. Sort of absentmindedly my dream-self rolled one up hors d'oeuvre style and ate it. Then the brain kicked in and as it was crying out at my body to stop, my hand reached out and grabbed another and I ate it.

At this point my brain is screaming at my body "What are you doing? Stop! You're a fucking vegetarian! That's MEAT! You never even liked ham! Pigs are smarter than dogs! Pigs are smarter than dogs damn it!"

I woke up as the fourth slice went into my mouth. I was sweating. I have no idea what the hell that was all about."

I'm guessing your dream wasn't about compulsive ham consumption. :silly:

2. i had a nightmare that contained three previous nightmares, and

the actor mark ruffalo was in it.
i was too stumped to explain to him why we shouldn't go into the house, or that other one, or the one behind it.
i thought he would think i was nuts, and i did sorta wonder why he was there. all my dreams are haunted house scary creatures in the dark kinda dreams.
damned that don knotts and "the ghost and mr chicken"!

3. I have had so damn many bad dreams lately.

:(

Understandably, of course.

Last night I had this dream of being in a public bathroom in a building where I lived where the toilet seat had pee all over it...and this extemely tall man who came in to use another stall with a cigar who could look over the stall walls came into the bathroom....and at the same time we were on this moving thing where there were all these cool restaurants that were passing before my eyes.

And I have never lived in a dorm, coed or otherwise.

Any similiarities? I got up (about 6:30 this morning) after that one.

6. Yeah

I tend to have/remember more vivid dreams when I am going through a rough spot.

13. While, this wasn't a dream.. It was real life.

I have a bad bathroom story that I had forgotten about. Now I remember it, thanks, I think.

I was pissing into the urinal at a bar called John Henry's while minding my own. I got slammed into the wall (pant's down, limp dick on cold urinal) and this guy grabbed me around the neck and said, "I will kill you if you tell anyone about this." I looked and saw the guy was drinking a can of beer from outside. He finished the beer, dropped the can and walked away.

Freaked me the fuck out.. And I am planning on going to that bar tonight.

5. My dad was married to my wife

He brought her flowers. I was like WTF?

7. Last week, I had a dream

that I woke up and a gorgeous man was next to me.

I was quite surprised, and delighted, but he said I'd have to keep on sleeping in order for him to stay (which somehow meant going to the 'dark side').

I wasn't too thrilled with that, and tried to escape, realizing he was quite evil. I ran from my apartment to the elevator, and pressed the main floor button...however, when the doors opened and I just about ran out, I realized that I was on the very top floor, on the roof, and if I stepped out I would go straight down.

I tried pressing the main floor, and that kept on happening. Finally, it stopped at another floor that I could get out of, but all the doors were locked, and a few of them appeared and started chasing me.

I don't remember how, but I fled to a washroom, and flushed them all down the toilet. :shrug:

My dreams are usually not quite as 'good guy, bad guy' as that was. They are usually more psychological, like watching someone I love commit suicide and can't do anything about it, or having a nervous breakdown and spinning out of control. (none of which have happened to me in real life)

8. Last night.

I had a dream that I "awoke" in ice cold water. I could only see my face, and the water was pitch black and something kept pulling me under. Once I was under, I could see that ice was forming on the top of the lake over me and I had to punch my way out. As soon as I managed to punch a hole in the ice, and grab a breathe, a green eel like thing would swim thru the water and tear a chunk out of my leg. I would than be pulled back down into the mire and the process would repeat itself several times before I awoke in real life. The thing that i most vividly recall was the eel things teeth before it chomped down on my leg and the sight of blood on my hands (from punching out of the ice.). Hey you asked. :D

10. That's freaky

I've never had a nightmare.

9. About a week ago I had dream that Coretta Scott King had died.

I was watching her funeral procession.

11. I did have a weird dream the other night

Now I can no longer remember what was going on in the dream that led up to the nightmare part, but it culminated in a nightmare where I was driving my truck through a suburban neighborhood (actually the trailer park where I grew up), and I lost control, and I sideswiped some pedestrians. Went right over them. Then the truck was stopped, and I knew I was in serious trouble, probably a jail term, and I said to myself 'It's just a dream. You have to wake up now.' So I did.

12. I almost never remember my dreams

Which is good, because when I do remember them, they're extremely bizarre. Once I had a dream that involved an invented ecosystem (underwater) and an invented society of water-breathing sentient beings. I must've made all that up while dreaming. I don't remember any details of what happened, but all the creatures and social structures I encountered were totally alien and bizarre.

When I was 5 years old I had a nightmare about infinity. It's probably the most vivid dream memory I have. The dream had no visual nor audio components, it was a purely conceptual dream. I tried to truly grasp the concept of infinity, but no matter how big a thing I could think of, infinity was always bigger than that. I woke up in a cold sweat and had trouble falling back asleep.

14. Sometimes I have bad dreams that are scary at the time,

but seem completely ridiculous upon waking. I can't think of any specific one at the moment, though.
