    I have the same dream several times a year. It's awful.

    Ever since I gave up smoking, I have a dream of me sitting on a park bench smoking a big fat j.

    Yeah very similar to me. Its usually 2 weeks before the LC and I realised I haven't studied a thing and haven't a clue.
    Happens every couple of months

    11 years ago for me.

    I have the same but I am usually at University doing year end exams and realize I have not gone to class all year.

    Also have the ones where you are about to head on-stage and have no idea what play you are in or who your character is.

    It's a shopping centre shaped like a seashell. Sometimes I live there. Dream it approx once a month. It's deadly. :D

    The exam one for me too. Leaving cert and realising I literally have not opened a book or attended a class for maths or Irish, yet simultaneously doing a masters in English literature, and then realising at the end of the dream that I shouldn't be bothering doing the leaving as I'm at masters level anyway, and it looks like I had actually repeated the leaving - for no reason.

    Nuclear holocaust. I've witnessed (and died in) so many nuclear explosions at this stage I've lost count.

    ..the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

    I have never remembered a single dream :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I'm lost somewhere or I need to call someone for some urgent reason. I try to dial the number but even though I can see I'm pressing the right numbers, the number that comes up on the screen is totally different and I can't get through to them. It's infuriating!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭valoren


    I get the leaving cert one too and it always props up when I'm under pressure or stress.

    I guess it's a mild form of post traumatic stress disorder seeing as the LC is the most important thing in the whole world when you're in 6th year, it's bound to have some negative fallout psychologically.

    The Loch Ness monster comes over and tramples on my house when I'm putting out the ashes. It's always a Tuesday.

    That's mad I have a similar one occasionally too. Passing french was a big worry because I never worked at it and I needed it for Uni. In the dream it's exam time and I'm totally unprepared for the french exam and can't even understand the questions.

    Another recurring one is there are several of us clambering over rocks and the tide is coming in and the waves are getting bigger and bigger and exploding against the rocks. We end up perched half way up the cliff to avoid the oncoming sea. I like that one.

    Another one is I dream I've started smoking again (gave up 2 yrs ago).

    Have this one too, very unsettling. In the dream I'm thinking. "But i did the LC/college exam YEARS ago i don't have a clue".
    For some reason i never follow the logic out though "Hang on, i've done this i dont need to again".

    Recurring bad dream is standing at the top of a building made entirely of glass and there's zombies coming up the floors. :(

    That is the same thing I always end up arguing in my dream. I already finished my Masters, why am I doing this?

    Oh yeah, I have tornado dreams. I have seen so many tornadoes in my dreams, sometime in my dream I think... wow, I have dreamed this so many times and now it is really happening!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,464 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I had that. Then realised it wasn't a dream, the LC was a few days away and i actually hadn't studied! Still passed though! [baby-fist-pump-picture]

    One i used to have the whole time was being in the sittingroom watching tv, when the room filled with water. I was left floating on the couch, and then a shark fin appeared. The dream always ended shortly after that, with the last thing i remember being the mouth of the shark coming right at me.

    That then changed to walking along a train tunnel, near the end of the tunnel and a train comes out of nowhere, i run towards the end, and wake up just as the train hits.

    Lately, it's a good one. A certain someone who i secretly harbor love for comes to a house party, and, well, you know where it goes. As far as i can tell, she gives awesome head!

    Falling backwards off a cliff and drowning, sucks big time.

    Haha, I thought the silly, pointless decision I had taken (in my dream) to repeat the leaving was an act of dopeyness unique to me. :)

    I go to an important meeting in work, stark naked.

    I don't notice this until the end of the meeting, and insultingly, no one else does either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    I keep having this one reaccuring dream where my teeth crumble to sand and I'm running around screaming and choking on bits of granular teeth and blood.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,605 ✭✭✭yipeeeee


    Leaving cert one for me.

    What is it with that dream!?

    Haunted by the dream catcher.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,391 ✭✭✭fro9etb8j5qsl2


    Plane crash :eek: The dream always begins just as I realise the plane I'm on is going to crash. Sometimes it crashes and I survive. Other times I have dreamt that a plane crashes on the ground in front of me, I look up in the sky just in time to see it fall and crash.

    Funny thing is, I'm not the least bit nervous of flying :cool:

    Surely at this stage you would have figured out some sort of survival technique.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    No way, I have the LC dream too!

    It's usually the LC but any big exam really, horrible!

    I have a similar one, but it is just loads of little teeth come pouring out of my mouth. Very disturbing :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭SMJSF


    Nothing to do with the LC - but I've had the same dream over and over again since I've been about 5......

    Sitting on a tree stump in a shaded part of the field at the front of the estate I grew up on and the kids who lived on the road were having some sort of party - and my dad (I didn't know he was my dad until I was about 10 - he was a "family friend") walked over to me and asked if I feel ok - and I get this horrible chocking feeling - and the feeling of "alice in wonderland syndrome" (when you feel tiny and everything else is huge around you - Google it) and I feel like I've a square object in my hand - but I can't see my hands....

    its freaky!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Oh I have millions. Teeth, obviously. Loos, like in Trainspotting. Nearly all my dreams have a really dirty loo in them. My friends in school, school reunions. Flying. Anything to do with where I grew up, loads of those. And also loads of places that only exist in my head. Landscapes that I've never been to, where I go years apart at times. And I look around and think 'I was here last about 20 years ago'. I dream every night and most of them I remember. When I'm hormonal I have the most insane dreams ever. Some of them are movie script quality if I could only remember all the detail to write them down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    I have a few mad ones but one of the most common of my recurring ones is that I am being monitored. That there are listening devices and cameras attached to the curtain rails or under my bed.

    I also quite frequently imagine that someone is in my room trying to steal from me or kill me.

    I sleep walk and scream a lot in my dreams too.

    No wonder I haven't got a fella, am dangerous in bed!
