Dream Time

[Suze]

Since the "do you hear voices" thread is starting to get a bit sidetracked by the dream discriptions, lets start over with the crazy dreams.

So far I have been chased by Godzilla, and saved by Ultra Man

Dreamed a whole D&D session

And have this reocurring dream of "can't find a potty"

Oh and I can fly in my dreams

Anybody else care to share funny, scary dreams

[blue2000]

I had a recurring dream as a kid where I was being chased through a mansion by a monster. The weird thing was, I wasn't that scared. I was mostly just trying to find a way out, and this thing kept following me around.

I've always wondered what that meant.

[Rei-chan]

The scariest dream I ever had (and sorta the funniest) was when I was a fledgling restaurant manager.  Here goes:

I am standing in the restaurant, alone, getting ready to open up.  I look outside and the street is empty (this is in a mountain town, very calm, pretty, etc.).  As I go back to what I am doing, I start to hear a rumble, soft at first, but getting louder.  I look outside again, except this time, there is a crowd of people, all the way down the street, and from one side to the other.  They look angry, and are chanting "Spa-ghett-i, spa-ghett-i" over and over and over, and they are heading my way!

I look around, and see nothing but breakfast foods.....no spaghetti.  I start to panic and tear the kitchen apart, looking for the pasta, but come up with nothing but breakfast foods.  The mob is getting to the parking lot now.

I wake up screaming just as the windows are breaking.

I don't know where the spaghetti idea got into my head.  We didn't serve it at the restaurant, and I hadn't even thought of/ate any pasta in months. 

Strange huh?

and let's face it, how many people are going to drop everything to come see White Snake in 2003?

Hey! I might drop everything to go see Whitesnake, and it's 2007 now! Totally kidding.

I always have dreams of being unable to find a bathroom at Disneyland. Keep in mind, I have visited Disneyland approximately 6,435,783,702 times in my life, not to mention that I worked there an entire summer, so it's highly unlikely that I wouldn't know where there was a bathroom at Disneyland, including in the backstage areas and the "secret" bathrooms that no one seems to notice or frequent, and consequently are sparkling clean and kept in better order than in the rest of the Park(s) (as there are now 2 of them). But in my dreams I am always at Disneyland, I've just had an entire large soda or water because I was very thirsty, and then have to find a bathroom - and when I do find one, all the toilets are gone. Then I'll wake up, realize I'm not at Disneyland but at home, and I desperately do need to use the bathroom.

That's one of my recurring dreams. In most of my dreams, though, people appear and reappear with alarming frequency, or turn into other people, usually right in front of me. But most of my dreams aren't usually surreal, just vivid, to the point where I am convinced I will find 2 million dollars in my wallet when I wake up (hasn't happened yet!) or that someone I've been dreaming about will be in my house when I wake up (sometimes happens, not always).

I work at restaurant doing whatever job necessary (waitress, prep cook, dishwasher etc.) This past fall I ended up being a waitress for a couple months straight. I was the only waitress and would work every day with a couple hours off in the afternoon where the boss would take over for me.

I am not a very good waitress. I do try but I just suck anyway. I had never waitressed before, we were really busy and short-staffed all around so it was very hectic. I also had to mix my own specialty drinks and prepare desserts so I could get slowed down easily.

To this day (3 months later) I STILL have waitressing nightmares! There are sooo many tables, they are waiting and waiting and I'm running around like mad. People are coming in and sitting at dirty tables then getting mad and leaving.

I think those two months have scarred me for life!

I keep dreaming that my teeth are loose and falling out. I wake up pushing on them with my tongue.
Or I dream that I'm running late to get somewhere and a million things keep happening to make me later and I end up having to go without pants...

[Suze]

and then there are the mall dreams.  I am hunting a store at a mall, and they are all closed or are just closing.

so I find the "ultimate" store and all I can do is look in the windows.

The worst is when I "find" the store with the current "obsession" (Star Trek, Barbie's, old rare books) and the prices are dirt cheap and I have no money to buy anything.

I don't "read" in my dreams.  Some people can, I have never been able to get the letters to make sense in a dream.  Except obvious logo type words. (Star Trek, Barbie, Coke - etc)

It's like I am in some sort of maze, I know I am hunting something (or maybe someone) but can't find it.

They say that dreams involving teeth, particularly teeth that are falling out or rotting, relate back to money worries. I hope you're not having any of those!

I haven't had a falling-out/rotting tooth dream in a while. Although in my case I think it was more due to the fact that at the time, I was having problems with my wisdom teeth and didn't have any proper dental insurance or any way to pay to have my wisdom teeth extracted. So I dreamt about my teeth falling out a lot. It was kind of scary.

I have recurring dreams that my nose is broken.  It happens in a variety of ways, hit by a ball, car accident, walking into a kid on a swing, etc, but when I wake up, my nose always hurts.

I think it stems from a car accident I was in when I was about four, and my parents thought my nose was broken (it wasn't).

Once I dreamed about a favorite, long ago dog.  She was so happy to see me.

I got out the dream interpretation book and it said to dream of a happy dog meant I would be coming into money.

And I did!

[Sandi Papaya]

I'd always heard it was feelings of loss of control/ uncertainty of the future... my ex had them when he was wed to his awful ex wife, and I had them just before and after he left our joint home.

Of course, it could be that as well.

I just had a dream about my friend Paul a couple of nights ago (from which I didn't really want to wake up - but that's another thing entirely). Turns out I just talked to him about 10 minutes ago and his poor dog is dying. It's weird, but the whole dream, though it was good on the whole, had an undercurrent of fear/worry to it. Ten minutes ago I found out why.

I have the missing bathroom dreams, too.  I call it a 'telephone dream' because for years I would dream that I was looking for a phone or was trying to use one and it wouldn't work for some reason.  I figure that the 'can't find a bathroom' dreams run along the same line. 
I always have movie stars or other famous people in my dreams.  And it isn't like they are performing and I am watching.  In my dreams I know them and they appear in ordinary life circumstances.  I have dreamed that I could fly, but mostly I dream that I am doing the kind of flying you would do with an out of body experience.  I love those dreams.  I often dream of being up high or having to climb up or down from somewhere and it is very scary since I don't like heights.

I have recurring dreams about not being able to find or open my school locker and being really late for class... (I graduated HS nearly 10 years ago...). Similarly, when I told my mom about that, she said that she still has dreams about not being able to find her French class in college, and she's nearly 60 years old!

I had a paper route as a kid and I still have dreams about not remembering which houses/apartments I was supposed to deliver to, and so just making it up as I went along...

I keep dreaming that my teeth are loose and falling out. I wake up pushing on them with my tongue.

For me that would be a nightmare that would seriously disturb me for the rest of the day. My biggest fear awake is dentists - mine gives me a bunch of Valium just to get me in the chair for cleanings. Just reading that makes me queasy, dreaming it would bug me out badly.

The scariest dream I ever had (and sorta the funniest) was when I was a fledgling restaurant manager.  Here goes:

I am standing in the restaurant, alone, getting ready to open up.  I look outside and the street is empty (this is in a mountain town, very calm, pretty, etc.).  As I go back to what I am doing, I start to hear a rumble, soft at first, but getting louder.  I look outside again, except this time, there is a crowd of people, all the way down the street, and from one side to the other.  They look angry, and are chanting "Spa-ghett-i, spa-ghett-i" over and over and over, and they are heading my way!

I wake up screaming just as the windows are breaking.

Ahhh, the restaurant dreams. I used to have them all the time when i was a waitress. I'd be running around my parents back yard with a tray full of food, desperately trying to figure out where all the tables went; or trying to fry eggs on my dresser or something equally ridiculous.


A lot of my dreams now have a carnival theme running through them. Whateve else is going on there is a big local fair type carnival backdrop with lots of screaming & bright lights & creepy um-pah music. Sometimes the ground is wavy & water-like, too. I think it is because i feel so out of control of myself mentally/emotionally so often that i get the chaos as a regular theme.

Has anyone here ever used the nicotine patch? They give me & Mr.HGish both really vivid dreams. Nothing crazier than usual, but extremely vivid & long dreams. I have to admit i really like it. (Hey, there is a good reason to get myself back on it, thinks hobgoblinish, as she also remembers to pop a Welbuterin.)

I looked up the teeth dreams thing and came up with this:

Pretty interesting stuff.....couldn't find anything about my spaghetti dream though.....
