Bizarre Dreams

[Fushigi na Renamon]

For my 100th post, I thought it'd be cool to make an attempt at an interesting topic.

What are some of the weirdest, scariest, or stupidest dreams you've ever had?

Last night's took the cake for me, I think. I dreamt I shot and killed four people and felt no remorse for it, and was going to an insane asylum/jail for three years. I kept thinking to myself "Why did I go and do that? I'm not the kind of person who does these things." Then a cop asked me what my motive was and I said "I've never killed somebody before, I wanted to see what it was like."

I remember talking to my cousin in my dream too, and saying "This is a dream. I'm dreaming, right?" and she was like "Nope. You're not." Then I got really upset because I was convinced I was a convicted killer and I was going to jail for three whole years. Couldn't stop thinking about how the families of those people would hate me for the rest of their/my lives/life. I also recall hoping the case would be low key, but it was all over the media, of course. After all, I'd walked into a downtown building and gunned down four people.

I'm going to have to call my cousin and tell her she's a big fat liar. IT WAS SO A DREAM!



I woke up and thought "What the hell? Oh cool, I'm not going to jail. If I was, I'd have been going for longer than three years. Stupid brain."

I don't know what possessed me to dream something like that. Needless to say, I was really happy to wake up this morning.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

Last night I had another of my infamous "end of the world" dreams, only this time, I died in the dream. Most of the time, I am just a witness to the destruction. In every dream, the catastrophic event that brings about the end is always different, although this one was somewhat similar to the event in another dream I'd had a while back (moon/tides were messed up).

This time, it was a massive flood that destroyed us all. Everything was innundated with fast moving flood waters. My only remaining family member (sister) and I were trying to escape into the countryside (Llano area). She was driving and I was apprehensive about our chances, since everything was in chaos.

Sure enough, the car was swept down an overpass and into rushing water. I tried to escape but could only get out halfway before it was too late. The car plunged into the dark depths of the waters, and that was that.

But...

My most bizarre dream ever has to be from when I was very very young. I recall being about 5-6 years old. It was a very vivid dream, so I still remember it fairly well.

I was walking into the sunday school area of our old church from the upstairs. As I approached the downstairs entry hall area, I notice an odd display case, similar to a museum display/diorama behind glass. It's set into a small section of the side of the wall I'm facing on the way down the stairs.

The diorama behind the glass has several jackrabbits/rabbits, and at first they appear to be stuffed. I move closer to look at them and the rabbits become animated. They start to look at me and they begin to scream, making the most god-awful noise I can recall. Their mouths become distorted from the screaming, and they contort and twist into awful shapes, before screaming their mouths/faces apart in a horrible mass of torn muscle and blood.

I remember clasping my hands over my head, shutting my eyes and stooping down, trying to drown out the noise. Then I woke up.

Pretty interesting dream for a little kid.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I've had plenty of interesting dreams. Bunch of them either involved either trains or tornadoes (never both at once). There was also this one dream I had which was the most awesomeness dream I've ever had. It was so awesome, it took two nights to finish. Dunno if the first one ended in a cliffhanger. Makes me wish that there was some way to record dreams back then, as I would've liked to watch it again. Anyway, the weird part about the dream was that each "part" seemed like they had been created by two different people. They both involved a tower that seemed like it went all the way to the sky. But the first night was horror, and the second night was comedy. Here's everything I remember.

First night. It is a creepy night, some fog. The tower had appeared at the north edge of town (yeah, I was looking from my grandma's house). I was with a cop, looking at the tower three blocks away. A police badge then rolled in front of us, showing that something had happened to another cop that went there. I can't remember whether the cop with me was my uncle, or the badge belonged to my uncle (my uncle was a fireman, not a cop). Sometime after that, I was in the tower (looked like an old mansion with endless stairs and balconies going up). I remember seeing my then-youngest cousin sitting at one of the balcony/walkways, and then falling off of it like she had passed out. I think she was on the second floor. She was wearing an old brown dress, I think. That's all I can remember from the first night.

Second night. It's now a sunny day. Now things get weird. It's a counterattack against the tower, and I'm just outside of it with Indiana Jones. I don't remember seeing him there, I just knew he was with me. In front of us were a couple of trolls that looked like they were a cross between whomps (from Mario 64) and the characters from Fraggle Gaggle Rock. I looked at a nearby waterfountain. It was snowing on it. I looked at the trolls, pointed at the fountain, and said "Look, snow!". The trolls looked, and said in goofy voices "Oo-oo-ooh, snow!" And that's all I can remember. Very weird, but still awesome. Now if only if I could remember if it was supposed to be a nightmare.

Oh, and speaking of nightmares, there's this one I had when I was very young. I can't remember it completely, but I remembered there was an old church in the field that looked like the mansion from Mario 64 (this was before SNES). There was an earthquake that had caused the road beneath me to majorly crack down the middle, in a very similar fashion to one of the Superman movies (naturally, I had this dream not too long after seeing the event in that movie). I didn't see the ground cracked though. I looked down and saw that the road had cracked. I looked up in the sky, and monster moons were coming down. Except now, I don't think they were all that scary. In my dream, they were actually pictures of the moon (in different colors) with kinda-scary faces put on them. And the moons would fade in, zoom closer, and fade out before showing the next freaky-looking moon. I can't remember for certain, but I think there were three or four of them.

Another nightmare when I was a kid, took place in the next town, at a place that is still there today. Except, they rent moving trucks, not sell playground equipment. Anyway, I was with my parents. Except they weren't my parents! They looked like them, but they acted like little kids, and the only part I remember about that dream was when they slid down one of the slides. And then I yelled (in my dream, thankfully) "I want my mom and dad!" And then I woke up.

Another dream, I was working on my game for RPG Maker 2. I think this happened during the last month before its release.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

That rabbit dream is freaky, Nix. I remember a recurring nightmare I had as a kid, I was in a black and white movie set, and monsters were seated in benches, deliberating what to do with the "nosy boy".

I had this one Monday night, It must be significant, since I rarely remember my dreams.

Okay...

My oldest sister, Ben Stiller (o_O) and myself were shopping in a big mall...
I was browsing videogames, I believe, (there was a new Castlevania out that somehow slipped my radar, but I couldn't afford it )
Ben and my sister find me and tell me we have to go, cause the police are after us.

We get on a bus, it's night time and crowded, but there's a blockade ahead. Ben (O-o wtf, I still don't get it) instructs us to get off at the stop and he'll figure something out. We hide out in a daycare that's filled with Lion King memorabilia. hmm...

I ask a kid to stop playing a lion king educational game so I can check the internet for news about the "why ever the police are after us which I never figured out". I got distracted and started surfing the pav...

So nothing interesting there, I turn around and look for sis, but she, and all the kids are gone. I step out side, and it's daytime again. I remembered I have my bank card, and return to the store to get that game. $_$
(Nice to know subconscious Gus has his priorities in order...)

I buy it and as I'm about to open it I wake up.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

What Castlevania was it?

I had a new game dream on more than one occasion. The one I remember most, I was in Wal-Mart, holding an open copy of Kirby's Adventure, ported to the Game Boy Color. Funny how they later remade it for Game Boy Advance.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I had a dream about a new PSO that never existed. Same thing happened, I got the game, kept getting distracted in the dream, and by the time I opened it the dream was over! BAH!

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I've also had dreams where I find rare digimon in stores and then wake up to find it was all a dream. I'm so mad when I wake up.

Oddly, last Friday night I watched Moon Child (the Gackt movie) and then when I went to bed I dreamt that I met and had my photo taken with him and stuff. Nice dream.

Anywho, my Mom and I were supposed to go shopping early Saturday morning, and I hadn't set my alarm because I knew she'd wake me up. I was kind of half-sleeping and still dreaming, because I heard her call me and I somehow knew I was in a dream and it was time to wake up, so I gave Gackt a huge squishy hug (prolly squeezed the life out of him) and let myself open my eyes.

I wasn't mad at Mom, I was pretty damn amused when I got out of bed.

Nix, your bunny dream is pretty creepy for sure. It reminded me of a reoccurring nightmare I used to have when I was about eight or nine. I'm feeling lazy though, and it sounds dumb when I try to recount it. Maybe I'll post it later.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

That's so cute. It's rare that I realize a dream is ending, they usually just stop for me (except lucid dreams).

Might as well share that nightmare! They are always interesting.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I so want to get my hair like that. It looks freaky.




I've had many wierd dreams.

One was where I was turned into a demon and I started destroying stuff. I would be flying around St. Louis, making buildings crumble and torturing random people and burning them alive. I even took an entire portion of a skyscraper aside from its first few floors, flew it a thousand feet into the air(Some people were falling out of windows and screaming), and dropped it from about a mile up. That was so awesome. The military was shooting at me and what not, and I was toying with them, grabbing missiles from airgraft and hurling them at tanks. Oh, and I got to beat the mayor with a giant spiked chain!

That was so much fun.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I'll fill you in on some of my crap.

One night, after consuming much in the way of things as pizza and twinkies, I dreamt I was playing a game of sorts. Eventually, I was surfing the Pavilion while looking for... I dunno, something.... and Tim Allen enters the adjacent room, finding his Home Improvement wife laying over the sink, blind drunk. She leans downwards, stares at the floor and says in a lushy voice "Hey, look.... 47 cents..!".

In another scenario, I was chatting with my colleagues in the Monster Rancher community chatroom, when all of the sudden, John Mora pops in with his name in an AIM-style font. Every message he sent was in a format similar to the current Pavilion format. He also posted images somehow.

That's classic.

I had a dream where a friend of mine had the flying cape from Super Mario World. I was so jealous that I beat him up and took it, then ran like hell, caught a nice breeze and soared into the sky. I didn't feel guilty for taking it, either.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I can do lucid dreaming, so I can control my dreams, so they usually all go along the same lines.

In the same vein as Nix' dream, I had one OVER and OVER when I was about 6 or 7.. it was where I "woke up" inside the dream, left my room, and as I opened the door, standing like 5 inches away from the door was some giant bloody frog creature that started shrieking and flailing around. I'm still creeped out by it whenever I go to open a closed door.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

I had a terrible dream one time that just sorta ended all of a sudden.
Ed O'Niel (a.k.a. Al Bundy) was my dad, and he was running for some kind of office like mayor of governor. He's making a speach in front of a building, and everything is going great. I just happened to notice that there was a child riding a cheap little plastic bike, he was inside the building. The door that Ed O'Niel was making a speach in front of was made of glass so you could see what was inside just behind him. Out of nowhere my brother from inside the building, Brad Pitt (in my dream I seemed to have the memory that he was a very disturbed person), walked up to that child to pick him up, grabbed the back of the kids shirt with one hand and the back of the kids belt with the other hand, (the child is crying and starting to panic at this point) and begins slamming the kid right into a wall head first again and again with blood flying everywhere. The people see this and are just so shocked and paralyzed with horror that no one could do anything for the child. I then wake up and wonder wtf would make me dream of something like that.

Re: Bizarre Dreams

That's creepy, creepy stuff, Gouki...

I guess I can post my reoccurring dream. It happened when I was about nine or so.

There was a witch in a small house, and another witch came in to visit her. She had a painting, but it was covered with a cloth. She asked the first witch to look after it for her, but on one condition - DO NOT look at it. So witch one agrees, witch two leaves, and guess what? Witch one looks at the painting.

There was a bloodcurdling scream after that, and the painting appeared to be an oil painting of three gray and rotting skeletons. They were wearing old-fashioned, tattered dresses as well, and the witch gasped and said something about three goddesses or something.

Like I said, it sounds retarded when I talk about it, but it was pretty scary when I was nine.
