what's the weirdest dream you've ever had?

kitton

i dreamt once that i was a sphincter muscle!
it sounds a lot mankier than it was,i was just standing on a road that i was told was the urine canal thingy and this weird man was like,"ok,your the sphincter muscle,go stand over there!"
it was quite funny!i woke up thinking i was a sphincter muscle...i'm not by the way

francie brady

i dreamt i was at a Waterboys gig. Shane Macgowan came on as special guest and done a verison of pink floyds wish you where here with Mike Scott. It was the great cover version i ever heard. I'm sure i recorded it somewhere, but can't remember where i put it.

dysfunct

I remember having a dream from my youth,
running up and down my garden on a sunny day.
Then the sky turns dark and i see a huge snarling monster on the far side of the front wall of my garden.
I walk up to it and it lunges for me.
I turn to run and then i fall into a huge gaping black hole.

Then i wake up.

Who says eating cheese gives you nightmares? :eek:

Oh and by the way if you're interested in finding out what your dreams mean go to:

Dream Stop

I'm not sure how accurate it is but give it a go.

Last night I had a nightmare, it was incredibly realistic. I was in bed and opened my eyes, directly above me was this dark face with red eyes staring at me almost immediately it appeared to my left hand side again staring at me. Then it ran around the bottom of the bed without moving from side to side making a childs pitter patter on the floor, even though there's carpet. I woke up in a sweat thinking it was real :eek:

I was one mutha* of a mouse if it was that, I would make an amazing horror movie Oh did you ever have the tripping over in your dreams, now that's an odd one!

JustHalf

I had a very similar dream, though it attacked me and faded out before it could reach me.

I had opened my eyes before it had gone.

Mossy Monk

i had a dream a few years back and i was fighting in World War 2 which was taking place in the corridors of my old secondary school. while the shooting was happening a lion and a gorilla were attaking me. then i was shot in the back and felt what dieing was like. it was a very strange sensation. i woke up thinking WTF

Mills

Oh did you ever have the tripping over in your dreams, now that's an odd one!

Yeah, I get that sometimes, especially when I'm just dozing or only after going to sleep, I'll trip or something in my dream, and my leg will actually jump, waking me up with a sore leg (it jumps really hard, catches you by surprise too).

I've gone into my dreams on previous threads, some odd ones, but I can't be bothered going into it again now.

One thing I've noticed lately is if you're sleeping in very irregular and short burts, say, over a weekend, you dream a lot more, and remember more of the dreams, a few weeks back I spent a weekend sleeping like this, on and off, and on monday I found it quite hard to distinguish between reality and the dreams over the weekend, wasn't sure what was what.

How many times have you people died in your dreams?


I've died alot...in many ways...shot stabbed hung burned shot into space.....maybe it describes my confidence?

Even better who's had dreams being killed by their best friends or people they know...esp people of the other sex they like...

Personnally the wierdest dreams are usually the ones most realistic that u forgot it was a dream and the next day say something from it to someone else and they give u the wierdest look.


e.g:

boy: Wow last night was great
Girl: What?
Boy: You know you me.....aww sh!t
Girl ewww


(p.s the above example did not happen to me...it was more me making 200 quid and then looking for it the next day??)

Yeah I hate that... trying to get to sleep for ages, then as soon as you drift off - you go and trip over/fall off something and wake yourself up... doh.

I don't usualy remember my dreams, only the horribly scarey ones

koneko

I think that's what happens when you stop breathing for a second, or there's a disturbance in your breathing. Your body wakes itself up by kicking (weird huh). I've had that before. Usually it's me walking up or down stairs and missing a step. Eek.

Weird dreams rock. I had one where my whole school (yes this was a long time ago) was covered in spiders. Huge ones and small ones. The biggest spider was twice as big as me, and was stuck on the doors into my school, so I couldn't get in.

There's one that's still confusing me. I'm not sure if it was a film I saw, or a dream I had. It had giant rats in it though.

binman

Yea, I have lots of dreams/nightmares about spiders, its to do with my arachnophobia Im sure. Its almost always in my house with everything in its right place which makes it more realistic and scary and the place is absolutely infested with them all shapes and sizes. Strange thing is im just as frightened in the dreams of them.
Arachnophobia feels like a pathetic thing to have so Im thinkin of getting therapy or something to sort it out. Ive always wondered why its the most common fear...

Jim Daniels

When I was about 20 I dreamt I was pregnant. I was in Mass when all of a sudden there it was, a big bump. I was quite surprised given that I was a bloke and hadn't been with anybody, but got used to the idea pretty quickly. The congregation began discussing who the mother might be when some girl ran out of the church with her hands over her face. I didn't see who it was unfortunately. At one stage I put my hand on the bumb and could feel the baby kicking. It was an amazing feeling!! All the same, I'm glad I woke up before I gave birth.
My girlfriend (in real life) at the time thought this was hilarious but told me not to get any ideas. So I didn't.

Yea I have actually, and you wake up cos your body tenses. I "fell" so hard once in a dream, I actually jumped up and fell out of the bed!
The weirdest dream I ever had was everything was completely black, I was aware of myself and one other "person" there. It was really only his voice. I can't remember what he said but I woke up and I was sickenling happy. Kinda gross really.
I had this other dream when I was younger where it would recur over and over again. It's too long to explain completely, but invovled alot of images preceeding eachother but having nothing to do with eachother. Time either went really fast or normally, I was buried at some point and something was following me. Someone died and it involved boats and tons of other stuff. It haunted me for ages and I never really knew why.

Enygma

Ugghh I always get that leg twitch thing, just when I'm nodding off too. Someone told me that it's just your body going to sleep.
That walking up the stairs thing and missing a step is really freaky, why does everyone (or a lot of people anyway) get that? That's really weird.

Really, does anyone know why we get that?

I rarely remember my dreams, unless they're really vivid and scarey. I was on anti-depressants before and one of the side effects during the first month was getting really really vivid dreams. We're talking Dolby-Surround Sound here. I still remember one of them it freaked me out so much.

I'm not telling either, it's too personal

kitton

i always dream of spiders too so i looked them up in a dreambook and apparantly they're good omens,it could just be arachnaphobia though cos i'm terrified of spiders too.i've never dreamt someone killed me before but i had a dream that i murdered someone defore,it was scarily realistic.my worst nightmare was really simple,i was driving in a car with my dad and there were these huge pointed stakes leaning and supporting eachother reaching into the sky all around us,and it got windy and they all started collapsing around us,it was terrifying!

kitton

oh,i just checked that dreamstop place and it said that spiders can also represent your mother and fear concerning your relationship with her!thats freud's opinion tho,he thought everything was about your mother!

Bateman

Can't remember my wierdest ever dream, but had a funny one last night, I was the only man on earth. It was not as much fun as I would have expected.
I find it hard, as do probably most people, to actually remember my dreams, even the next morning. And I acan also have the weirdest dreams when I am half awake half asleep, which are sometimes a little easier to remember.

jaggeh

i was dreaming i was fighting a guy with a sword(!?) and he hit me in the leg, i woke up with a massive cramp, it was so painful it nearly knocked me unconcious, it took about 45-60 minutes for the pain to go away.

Only the once, that I know of. I was playing DoD1 - non-existant map. I killed lots of people and then a German killed me with a grenade.

I woke up bolt upright in the bed, half scared to death.

Interesting you should ask that. The weirdest dream I've had is where I got stabbed in the stomach, by someone I knew, in a place I knew. I woke up with the "falling back on the bed" feeling, and a cold "stab wound" exactly where the knife had gone into me.

Whats really weird.....

I've had the dream more than once.

Uphamizer

My wierdest dream was when I was young ( 4 - 8ish) every time I cursed before I went to sleep a ghost would come tru the window over my bed and take me back out that same window, suddenly I'd wake up.

Another wierd dream, I was driving a 'non-existant' black car it was an arkward shape and size, it had the number 9 printed in white on the front. Every night I would crash and wake up

I also had that dream where I was falling down the stairs slowly, I hear if you don't wake up before you hit the ground you could die of shock...

*Cue weirdest dream EVER*:

O.K: I dreamt that myself and a friend were racing around these tall white hallways with arches and pillars. We were on roller-blades blazing around the place. Have you played metal gear solid 2? You know the boss dance sort of music? That was blasting around like we were in some sort of club. Tehn we started taking heroin. Then i whipped a Desert Eagle and started shooting my friend. I think it was to get him of the heroin!

I swear on anything that this is honest to God truth. Can anyone interpret that for me? I'd be well impressed.

El Marco

My most recent dream being, me driving down a city street and then running somone over, they then ran away into a McDonalds. I gave chase and after reaching them it turned they were running from someone, then I had to battle that person that was chasing. He for some reason glowed blue and was so fast I couldnt see him when he attacked me, anyway it ended with him doing an uber fast move taking out my heart then showing it too me (not as horrid as it sounds) and me dieing. I then woke up :eek:

Hope that made sense but it has to be the most epic dream I've ever had, like a movie


Another one I had was when I was younger. I dreamt I had a pet fawn and when I woke up, for a week afterwards I was convinced I had pet fawn

Blitzkrieger

I once had a nightmare that Giggs had been sold to Leeds! The HORROR!

I had a dream that a T-Rex was outside the house after Jurassic Park and after The Lost World.

Weirdest I can remember was being on Deep Space Nine fighting vampires coming through the Stargate

Pretty easy to analise - GET OUT MORE!

I had a dream once where i was walking along a corridor,
talking to someone i knew, when all of a sudden i realised
i was dreaming. I knew i was dreaming, in my dream.
It was so weird, but didnt last long.

IRISHLILY24

quoted from uphamizer:

not true. I have fallen from tall buildings in my dreams a few times and I hit the ground and bounce a few times, lay there and then I wake up...I remember the first time, I thought when I woke up, well now I know that isnt true

I have this re-occurring dream (wel 2 of them) 1 is that I am driving a brand new hotrod and I am driving fast, but when I come to a stop light there is a car parked there and when I push the brakes the car will only slow down, wont stop..I wake up just before I hit the parked car, I wake up feeling anxious.
The other dream is me playing sports, its always a different sport, but I am always the star of the team and I always win the trophy with crowds cheering for me and I feel a sense of relief when I wake up, even a smile on my face.

I also have premenitions in dreams, played out to the smallest detail, usually the following day.
but thats a topic for another thread
I always remember my dreams and write them down because some of them are just too wacky, the nightmares I have are the worst, I am either running from a masked murderer or on the run from killing someone myself, there is always running involved....strange thing is that when I am running I think in my brain that I want to run fast by my legs feel weighted down by sand bags.;)

SheroN

I had this dream once where i was running around an old folks home, killing old folks with samurai sword.

car racing with some friends and the eastenders cast... but it was wacky races style...

That, and falling and spiders.

houses in dreams usually represent yourself.my sister always dreams that she's in the heads of characters from eastenders,phil mitchell most recently!i had an odd nitelink dream last nite!very scary!

roar_ie

My weirdest dream was when i was in a castle or some kind of fortress. I really don't remember what hapened as such but all i know is that i eventually jump over a well and started falling. The spilt second before i was suposed to splatter on the ground i woke up in a ball of sweat and my heart doing about a 100.

Quite a odd dream for me

Khynareth

I usually dream that people are running after me trying to kill me (conspiracy Theory type of thing).

The weirdest was to run in an endless forest, something big and hairy was running after me. At some stage the forest ends, I have the choice between jumping into the sea and staying there waiting to be eaten.

I jump, the fall seems to never end, I fall and fall and the sea never gets closer. Sundenly, I'm in, I'm wet, I cold and I start swimming, knowing that I will be swimming until the end of days because the only land that was is now behind me, but I keep swimming...

Until something big and hairy starts swimming after me...


Wonder why I tend to hate big hairy things?

Is this pseudo-sexual?

SHAMAN

Actually, you may be interested to know that there is a disease known medically as "Night Terror" where the person has a terrible and realistic dream where they feel pain and all the rest. More often than not, the person cannot wake up from the dream and quite literally dies from shock. The really scary thing is that it's incredibly common: in Britain alone, one in seven die from it. Something to think about in bed tonight, eh?

No victor, lol anxious as in nervous.

I have heard of night terror before. Isnt it strange that you can die from a dream? I mean, how do you prove that...think about it.;)

I think you are greatly over-stating this. Are you sayin 14% of the population die from this? Or 14% of sufferers?

SHAMAN

No, 1 in seven British people will die from it. Come to think of it it's really the definition of dying in your sleep, isn't it? Except that you believe that someone trying to kill you, eat you etc. the usual nightmares. I'm not sure of the statistics for other countries. And I don't think that you can say sufferers of night terror because not all that many ppl survive it!

The Sweeper

My wierdest dream ever came from playing Tombraider The Last Revelation. I'd been at it for hours, playing it a second time round so taking time out to poke about in every corner and find all secrets etc.

That night I had a dream I was in my room and the doorbell rang. I vaulted sideways out of my room, forward rolled across the landing, ran down the stairs, side flipped to the front door and pressed an enormous button in the wall, at which the front door slid open sideways with a granite-boulder-rolling sort of noise.

I left the PC off for a week after that.

I think soem1 was winding you up, think of all the people who die from heart disease, cancers, infections, strokes, accidents ... to use the Irish statistics 31,115 died in 2000, only 2,776 are under the heading "Remainder" (that includes unclassified deaths, epilepsy, SIDS, most infections / diseases, possibly suicide and other stuff) http://www.cso.ie/principalstats/pristat7.html#figure3

I can't believe that - are you sure it's not one in seven who suffer from the disease die from it?

hacktavist

But if you suffer from it your dead...
Theres no way to survive it otherwise you wouldnt have it.

FYI

Fast Facts about Night Terrors:
Run in families.
Are not dangerous.*
Can last 10-20 minutes.
Occur in stage 4 of the sleep cycle.
Can happen at any age 6 months - 100 years old.


*What you do during night terrors can be dangerous i.e walking into objects or using kitchen appliances.

Ba$tard

I recently had this dream of appearing infront of the assembly hall of my first Leaving cert exam without ANY study done....and I was just wearing underpants...

LIKE WTF IS THAT ABOUT????

J

Victor

I think it's about you feeling exposed about not having enough study done. (hint)

The Dubliner

mine was when i invited a load of terrorists into my home and then they killed my family then i woke up!!

SHAMAN

This is quite annoying. A psycological disease cannot be very easily defined but I will admit that it could have been one in seven British people die from Night Terror per year . Happy?

SHAMAN

And I have to say Puck, that what you just quoted is probably a lie. Since aNight Terror is in fact a psycological disorder (one that you will almost certainly die from, I'll say that) it cannot "run in a family. Dreams do not operate that way. That's like saying "that man is strong so naturally his kids will be strong".

Puck

If you would like to offer up the source of your information I will gladly accept your argument.


Here's a link to some more information on Night Terrors if you are interested: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000809.htm

Night terror occurs most often in preadolescent boys, although it can occur in girls and in adults. It is fairly common in children 3 to 5 years old, and incidence usually reduces greatly after that. It may run in families. Night terror can occur in adults, especially with emotional tension and/or the use of alcohol.

Here's some more information for you: http://dmoz.org/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Sleep_Disorders/desc.html

Nightmares usually occur in REM (rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. The sufferer is usually aware very quickly that they have experienced a bad dream. In contrast, night terrors emerge out of deep sleep (slow wave sleep). The sufferer displays and may experience extreme fright. As they have awoken out of deep sleep, it may be very difficult to console them. The carer should not be perturbed as the condition is usually self-limiting and benign.

And here's some more: http://www.stanford.edu/~dement/terrors.html

And here's some info on adult night terrors in particular:
http://www.stanford.edu/~dement/adultterrors.html

How serious are Night Terrors?

• Some adults have episodes of night terror that may occur less than once per month, and do not result in harm to the individual or others.
• Some adults experience episodes less than once per week, and it does not result in harm to the individual or others.
• In its severest form, the episodes occur almost nightly, or are associated with physical injury to the individual or others.
