Enter The Sandman: The Dreams Thread

[Hotwire]

I have this dream every so often. In it I can sort of fly. More like hovering. The point of the dream is that I keep trying to show people what I'm doing, but no one notices.

Another variation is where I can fly as a way to get around things. Like in one, I remember being in a store and I would fly over the shelves to get to another aisle.

A funny thing that happens in my dreams sometimes is, I will be dreaming that something bad has happened. Most recently, I dreamt I was in a fight and had my nose broken. Then, while looking in the mirror, I realized that, not only was I dreaming, but that I could just wake up and everything would be fine.

My favorite dream was extremely detaild and interesting. I took most of it and made it the beginnings of a novel I wrote.

It started with me and my best friend (who looks nothing like my best friend) working at a pizzeria. I was kneeling on the ground cleaning up a spill when a girl I used to go to school with named Brandy and another girl came in to model for the pizzeria. The two girls, my best friend, and I all went to the pizzeria owner, who ended up being my former youth pastor Mack, and we were talking. Then another pastor I used to know named Dave (zainy as can be) comes out of a closet with all this camera equipment and we all go out the back of the pizzeria and enter a forest.

We walk for a while until we hit this bit field and the forest runs alone one side. The trees become so close they become a wall and there's an opening where the two trees on either side go up tall and cross in an "X" shape and there are twigs and spiderwebs all over it. The opening then goes on forever in a tunnel with the trees, again, so close they become a wall. In the distance I can see Galadriel from the Lord of the Rings pacing aimlessly back and forth, glowing, and looking dazed. In the mouth of the tunnel where we came to it was the little girl from Signs looking like a smaller Galadriel.

We walked to the little girl and she looks at me and says "Hello, Jesus" and I was a little wierded out. She then waves Brandy down and whispers something in her ear and Brandy's eyes go wide.

Time shifts and now I'm nearly alone walking in this tunnel. Brandy is with me but somehow she's been reverted to a little girl and I'm carrying her. There is music in the dream that sounds like Enigma or Enya, though more drums and percussions or something. Galadriel is no longe rin the distance but I feel like I have to get to her. If I reach her then "I'll Know" and that's exctly how it was worded in the dream. I do'nt know what I'd learn but it was something fantastic. As I walk I come accross a bathtub in the wooden tree wall and there's a middle eastern man in a suit talking like a sales person inside of it trying to wave us in.

I talk to the man and hold out my hand and like the temperature of the water so I enter. The man points at an image on the wall that's something like one of those pictures where if you cross your eyes an image pops out (I hear, I can never get them to work). I kept lookign at it and looking and I realize that if I can get this then I'll be able to leave the forest and find the Lady and "I'd know". I'm looking and it starts to come to me, and just as my eyes widen and I figure it out my wife woke me up and I never got to see the ending of the dream

I loved that dream and wrote it down immediately. My wife also had two neat dreams so I wrote those down within the week and took all those and they became the beginnings of a cool young adult fantasy novel that I"m currently trying to get published.

Worst dream? I have a few:

When I was younger maybe somewhere in my late teens, I had a dream where I was standing in my neighbor's driveway and my 2 neighbors who live on the same street were dying in front of me. They begged me for help as they were getting skinnier and skinnier. Only later on both of those neighbors died and in the same order as they did in the dream.

**

There was another dream I recall where I was at a local shopping plaza at exactly 8:00 pm in the dream. All day I was wondering what the significance of the dream meant, so I wait till 8 and show up at the shopping plaza. When I get there I see my then girlfriend at the time show up with another guy she claims "was just a friend" and her girlfriend/lover calling her a "sex monster."

**

It was beginning of 2006 I am just getting home from the hospital for pancreaitis. The drugs the hospital gave me put me into a deep sleep. I felt like I was suffocating and I started to hear all of these voices with Australian accents in the background. Later, I meet a guy who I haven't seen in years and suddenly remember a transgression he made against me, so I kill him. After that I'm walking in a dark alley, and all the debris from garbage on the floor, to the dumpster itself transforms into a hulking monster. It attacks me to the point where I have no skin left only bone, for some reason fear gives in to anger, and I attack back, noting how smaller it becomes until finally it reduces to nothing and I awake.

**
Later on during that year I spent time with friends in Japan, and I had a dream about a man I know living in my building. In the dream I was at a party and I noticed this girl I had a crush on when I was a teen was there. This girl and I had a chance to hook up, but she chose a different guy citing the fact that I didn't get along with her friends, strangely I run into her in odd places every few years.

Okay so this man who lived in my old building showed up to the party with this huge pitbull, the dog started attacking and eating everybody. I'm like whats wrong with you!! I try to catch up with him but before I do, I wake up. Ok, so I return back to the states, and the next day this guy shows up to me crying. The mother of his girl and boy was murdered, somebody threw her into a trash can and set her on fire. If that's not worse, I remember traveling to a Stater Bros, thinking about the girl I told you about in my dream. Guess who I run into at the Stater Bros!? The same girl!! It was 2007 then, and I had not seen her since 1998!! The guy she dumped me for? He was killed on a motorcycle. I heard through the grapevine he cheated on her, I'm not sure though.


I was freaked out for a while....

I had a dream last night where I was following someone trying to get them to stop or get their attention. I never got to see their face and I never could get them to stop.

 

[ObakeTora]

sounds like your thinking about somebody and never got to tell him or her what you wanted to say. They say the people we see in our dreams are people we unconsciously notice when we are awake.

Last night I dreamed that I had joined the navy.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Last night I had a dream where I watched, like, the La Femme Nikita pilot, except it was also the Vampire Diaries pilot, 'cause they were the same show and Paul Wesley was the spy and Autumn Reeser was the girl he used to love who finally tracked him down.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I remember having a dream about packing up & getting ready for the zombie apocalypse. Everyone knew there were zombies but it hadn't hit where I lived yet. It had a very eery feeling to it. Coincidentally, I had it the night before Left 4 Dead 2 came out.

 

[super scar]

do you guys ever had that feeling while sleeping where you are flying but not really and suddenly you are falling and you jump yourself when you wake up? it has happened to me several times

I used to suffer from sleep paralysis. Lots of strange **** happened then and it used to occur frequently when I was 5-18 yrs old. Then it would stretch from every night to a week, a month and so on. Last time it I had it was about 2 years ago. Does anyone have any solid details on what causes this? My GP prescribed sedatives but never really helped much.

I had a dream a couple of days ago I was a blind pirate cook.

I had a dream a couple of days ago I was a blind pirate cook.

I bet all the crew were jealous of your double eyepatch.

 

[Saint]

The other night I dreamed that my hair was coloured and patterned like the American flag.

Perhaps I've been reading too much Captain America. But... Brubaker! I can't resist.

 

[Orb]

I once had a dream where half of my half was melting off and I rushed to my bathroom to see my reflection in the mirror. Not pretty but atleast it didn't hurt one bit.

 

[Kane52630]

Just woke up from a Zombie dream, it was not fun

 

[Deaths Head II]

I had a dream a few nights ago that my mom introduced me to the actress who played the original Pink Power Ranger, Kimberly. It turned out she was an actual Power Ranger and and she asked me if I would like to join a new Power Ranger team she was creating. I said yes. We all wore costumes that looked like the Mortal Kombat robots and I was the White Ranger.

Kimberly said she knew where the enemy base was and ran ahead to direct us toward it. We tried to keep up but she ran way too fast and we couldn't catch up to her. We lost sight of her and it turned into night time. Luckily we found some other Power Rangers and they introduced us to three Thor clones who would help us find her. Kimberly flew overhead in her Pterodactyl plane without even seeing us. The Thor clones attacked it to slow her down but ended up destroying the plane and killing her by accident.

I had an absolutely unsettling dream last night. I was being hunted down by the government for some reason, and I had a wife and kids with me (I'm really single & childless). We had finally stopped running, when my own grandmother suddenly burst through the door, pulled out a gun, and held it against the back of my head. She pulled the trigger, and then I woke up.

I had trouble getting back to sleep the rest of the night.

I had a dream I was watching this guy pee on stage for 2 minutes straight and afterwards a panel of judges including Simon Cowell all gave him a 10/10. Weird stuff. Perhaps my subconscious was satirizing talent shows.

 

[DawnWarrior]

I was in a classroom and we watched one of the Babylon 5 movies. Michael O'Hare (Cmmr Sinclair from the show) was teaching this class, and he asked us what we thought of the movie. I raised my hand, and he called on me, but he called me "Dell" which he'd already done several times, so I told him to knock it off. I mentioned that I was watching the show mself, but I was still on season 1. He asked me what took me so long to get around to it, and I answered that, duh, 110 episodes is a lot to commit to.

I got into the elevator at the building where I work, along with an old dude and two other people with garish spray tans. The doors opend up to the roof where there was some funeral happening, and "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors was playing, I think. Then the shuttle bus showed up to take us back to Babylon 5, and G'Ker, Londo, and Sinclair were all there. G'Ker was getting pissy about some insects on a bench, and Sinclair brought out a can of RAID and sprayed them down and told him to chill out. Then somebody asked how clean this shuttlebus was, since it gets used by aliens from all over, and it turned out it was crawling with critters. Ew.

 

[Jordacar]

^I think you need to cut back on the B5 my friend.

Whew! Haven't had one this random in awhile.

I guess things start off with me just getting into bed, and somehow I have a handful of doritos, which I leave on top of the alarm clock to eat in the morning (but not before munching down just one).
Then I'm at some kind of family gathering, where all my attention is on this book in the corner. I wish I could remember more about the book, but I'm so into it that I barely acknowledge my cousin and other relatives entering.
Back at the old homestead we watched SFDebris reviews on the big TV.
Then the bro and myself head to this store in a mall I think where we're signing up for magic classes. There's a comment about learning to make 15 cups of booze and Enya, or something. I get my ID, but my headshot is tiny and ripped from a larger group shot, so I go complain to the picture people.
While they're busy fixing that, I take a seat and clear out my shoe. There's a couple of quarters in there, and after I calmly remove those one by one, there's dozens more quarters and a few half- and silver dollars in my shoe, which I also calmly remove one by one, sometimes 2 or 3 or 5 at a time, while my brother is shocked that I have so much change in my shoe.

 

[Jordacar]

I have this recurring moment in a lot of dreams where I'm watching a movie and the credits roll right in the middle of the movie. And I just shrug and think "I guess it's one of those movies where the credits roll in the middle," like totally not insane for that to happen.

I was at some sort of reunion of my Elementary School class. I guess it was in the cafeteria; the room was about that size. Our old teachers were lined up like some kind of ComicCon panel. Although I recognized many of my old classmates, now adults, the faces of the teachers were never clear.
For some reason I was the one who forgot to bring my old yearbooks for the teachers to sign.

 

[Anubis]

Last Night I dreamed I was a freedom Fighter in the Bobomb Kingdom. The king was forcing all the other bobombs to go on suicide bombing runs against Princess Toadstool, and I was part of some special paramilitary bobomb splinter group attempting to take back out bobomb country from the bobomb king. So, you know, it was an odd dream to say the least.

 

[Jordacar]

suicide bobomb. Is there another kind?
