Share your most memorable nightmare or weird dream

[Nail]

So, there was a topic created recently about dreams becoming an inspiration for your art projects. Here I welcome you to share some of your most scary nightmares, bizzare dreams or weird sleep-related experiances you've ever had.
To begin, here's my story. I happened few years ago, After I watched Six Demons Of Emily Rose. Not only it was the most scary horror movie I've ever seen, but also I have had nightmares for whole night after. I distinctly remember three of them, and it was the only time in my life, when I was waking up with a cold sweat on my forehead after a dream.
In the first one I was laying on the ground emracing my knees, while some invisible force was towering above. It was just there scarying, taunting me as if it enjoyed seeing me terrified.
The second dream was the most fucked up one. Everything was black and then I saw a young woman looking at me. She was naked and having sex with a man, I couldn't see yet. They were in a sitting position facing each other. Then I slowly mooved my look to the man, and fuck my shit!, he had a head of a goat. But like a goat scull covered with human skin and intelligent human eyes looking right at me.
And in my third nightmare I was walking among the shelves in a local super market, when, suddenly, I felt the presence of that force. The next moment it lifted me in the air and begun throwing me around. Needless to say, I was quiet terrified, but only for so long, cause then I shouted: "Well, come on, bitch! Come and take me!". And in that moment I realized that it can It can't, like scare me to the point, where it'll be able to possess me, cause deep within I'll always be fighting back, nomatter how horrified I am.
I had shivers remembering these dreems for three next days.

I have a lot of dreams that inspire me, but often it's only the continuation of previous daydreaming. I have strong lucid dreaming capacities, so I don't 'let' my dreams go too crazy. They are just a little bit more creative and bizarre than usual awake creative musings.

But when I have fever, I lose ALL this control and have the weirdest dreams.

Worst night was when I dreamt again and again that I was waking up and both my spouse and I were decapitated (but strangely I was still alive? haha).

Another time I dreamt I became an outcast and was forced to go out at night to not get attacked because I mistook the 4th wife of Henry the 8th with his 3d wife in a radio interview and it OUTRAGED my communauty Worst is that I live in a communauty that probably doesn't even know much about English kings!

My favorite one was from a time I was playing Morrowind a lot, sometimes while listening to music. That evening I was listening to the metal band Ne Obliviscaris. During the night I dreamt that I was in a large, empty concert hall before a concert of that band, and I was completely terrified and paranoid, thinking there were Morrowind ancestral ghosts after me. One shadow passed next to me... and i bit Ne Obliviscaris violonist savagely on the calf For months I could not listen to the band without being amused.

I've had recurring dreams of observing a violent plane crash for years now. It varies sometimes, but the most common scenario is that it's flying low overhead of a residential district as it's coming in to an airport. Suddenly it starts banking hard, veering towards where I am before swerving away again and crashing nearby. Variants have been whether it was visibly in distress (the other night it was on fire with thick black smoke plumes which is new, it also exploded into sparkles instead of a fireball like it was just completely obliterated), sometimes it would chase me but never actually crash, it was intent on only crashing if I would stop running and die. One time the plane had a nuclear core (lol?) and everyone had to evacuate within a large km radius. Sometimes it's a military craft instead of a commercial airliner. One dream had something that was a mix of an apache and a blackhawk trying to shoot me (had the accuracy of a storm trooper), I had to try climbing up a grassy cliff to escape into the forest above.

I think my most memorable nightmare had been during high school. I dunno if it counts, considering it was a nightmare I had while I felt sleep paralysis, but it's the one that sticks out to me immediately.

It takes place in an old-fashioned asylum; maybe 1950s, 1960s? Anyhow, I wasn't in the dream. It was more like a movie reeling. It started with a doctor riding down an old shaft elevator with an armed guard. He refused to take anything down to "protect himself" because he believed in caring for the patients and treating them like people. The guard, however, was adamant on giving the doctor at least a nightstick.

The patient they went to see was didn't really have features other than dark blue eyes, but he was placed in a basement level area behind bars and wore a straitjacket. The guard sitting down there already was missing, and the patient claimed he went to go to the bathroom. The doctor addressed the patient as "Mr.Sal" and asked him a bunch of questions. But the patient keeps glancing to the guard, who's put off by this.

After a while, the doctor goes into the backroom to wash his hands. There, he notices curious stains near the guard's office chair -- kinda like blood. When he comes back, he realizes the other guard is gone as well. "He also went to go to the bathroom". Admittedly, he feels a bit exposed, being alone with Mr. Sal, so the doctor decides to leave for the time being.

When he gets into the elevator, Mr. Sal reveals his straitjacket was loose and his cell door open that entire time. He waves a bloodied hand to the doctor as he leaves.

Definitely creepy, I'll tell you that much, but it's stuck with me for a long time.

BTW, has someone ever heard the thing, that you can not see your face or it's reflection in a dream? I'm not sure whether it's thing people say, or something I made up myself?

[gh0stcr33p]

just a few days ago I had a dream that I touched an extremely poisonous mushroom called the "skull mushroom". anyways after touching it realized that it was poisonous and decided to google it. after googling it I found out that if you touch it there's a chance in you dying within the span of a few days or a year. after that my dad and I went to some restoraunt that offered those but DEEP FRIED, AND I ATE THEM FOR SOme reason... so then I knew I was gonna die any time within the next year. I was freaking out a lot because it felt so real..

My most memorable nightmare would be the one, where I dreamed of some weird FPS game where enemies were gigantic hamsters with sunglasses, big ass guns and walking on their hind legs. So the playable guy went into a one room and a lot of those hamsters jump out and shoot him repeatedly. And it was shown with a lot of detail. Guy ended up dead and all that was left of him were his head and hands.

So next thing I remember from that dream was, that after the guy's death there was a cutscene played with real actors rather than in 3D, where some creepy dude looks through the bars wearing mask and gloves made from that dead guy's remains. I woke up crying.

I was twelve... xD

As for weird dream, I have those a lot. I have this habit of writing them down as soon as I can remember them idk why.

I can see my reflection in my dreams but there's always something off about it. Once I had long bright pink hair and some other time I had like, two irises in one eye. Heard you also cannot read in dreams but I see written stuff in my dreams and I'm able to read it. Or maybe my subconsciousness makes me think I can?

I have a book of dream interpretations from 1901 (reprint copy).

It says, that seeing mushrooms forebodes: becoming pregnant for a woman (hmm... I think. I can see where they'are going with this...); ande being tired for a man.
@EVERYONE Feel free to request your dream explanation

[gh0stcr33p]

there's no way that could happen.

I was curious about the reflections because of a couple of nightmares I've had when I was at school. In one of them I was looking at the mirror and seeing instead of my face, like a shadowy, plane cut-off shape with disfigured mouth and eyes. And only some time ago, after after hearing (?) the thing, I begun having those dreams im which I was almost consciously trying to see my faces. Often, I was just waking up on trying too hard, but also often I could clearly see my reflection and there was nothing wrong with it.

Hmm.. It says specifically "for a dame..." It helps?

i had a dream where i died and was left in my childhood home to rot.... the dream left me scarred for the rest of 2018, the more creepier thing is i had the dream after i fell asleep binging Spongebob and that a week later, Stephen Hillenberg passed.

as for normal things in my dreams, when i look at people their faces are kinda distorted, white noise flickering with random faces, only people that dont do that are family members

i think my dreams are telling me to quit being a recluse

There's few types of people acoording to their leading representative system: most people rely on vision on perceiving the information, there fore they're called visuals; and in the same way there's audials, kinestetics (touch, smell...) and logical type, who are good with texts, formulas, logical thinking. If you're not the visual type, it may not be crusial for you to mainaitn a visual contact with people on comunication. Maybe, your dreams have something to do with that. Especially, considering some amount of sociall preassure, that says that you should look into into other's faces when talking to them. Maybe it's only your family members with whom you feel it within your comfort zone.

I have many dreams that I'm remember well. I like to share my dreams with my IRL friends and they share theirs with me. Today I had a dream that one man threatened to kill me with needle lol, that stupid.

Most memorable is three. One is where I was on the war, our squad defended a industrial building, it was a cloudy day, dirt everywhere. We shot at attackers, I'm was on the other side of the building with my AK-74.
Then my commander told me that tanks are approaching, I had a RPG-7 also, I went to the window aiming with my RPG-7, shot at the tank, hit it (it was a Leopard 2A4 to be precise). Then other tank shot at the building, everything is exploded, I'm falling from the window at 3rd floor, looking upside on the hole in the wall where our squad was. The end.

Second is where I was a policeman (??), but anyway It was morning, I had a hangover, clouds were everywhere. It was a october or november, because all trees where without leaves but snow wasn't there. It was a raid on the dangerous criminal.
I'm sitting inside UAZ on the other side from main entrance. Then radio telling me that criminal is escaping and going to me. Then I see that criminal running near my car, I'm going out of the car, telling him to stop right here, also from other side of the lane a patrol car approached.
Criminal stopped in the about 10 meters from me, I'm taking aim with my Makarov, my hands are shaking, then criminal turned to me and it was a woman, she said that she won't give up, starting to shoot at me, I shot two times, missed both, and then my gun jammed and I got shot. I fell down and ended up looking in the sky.

Third is most recent. I was on the war again. We defended our gardens (where is all gardens of people in our town are, about 100+ houses). I had an AKS-74U, others had rifles, shotguns and other equipment. We saw an enemy squad approaching from the hilltop with their BMP-2. We started to shoot, they shooting at us, strangely enough, but I didn't hit anybody in this dream.
Leaves chopped down with the bullets, then somebody shot a BMP with a RPG, enemies retreated, then another squad approached, again with BMP-2, we went to flank them and shoot them from my neighbour's garden, but then a BMP fell off from the hill down (it's about 150 meters high there) and squad retreated.
Then enemies bring the T-72, we retreated in the deep of the garedns, letting enemies go inside. I climbed on the roof of the garden house with RPG-22. Then T-72 approached, I shot it point blank, it started to burn and some soldiers were killed and they retreated. Then enemies started shelling the gardens from artillery, and everything exploded, all houses were destroyed and we ran away to the north to defend a new positions.

Well, what a wall of text I wrote.

I once dreamt I was hunted by a Borg snapping turtle. That creeped the hell out of me... X_X
(I was binge-watching Star Trek: The Next Generation at that time)

Well... for now I can remember two memorable ones.

I had the first one when I was a teen. It was about Nuclear Apocalypse. I have climbed on the mountain near my hometown, and have observed nuclear explosions from here. But I was more stunned on their beauty than affraid, so I'm not really sure it counts.

In the second one I was chased by a maniac with a chainsaw. I fled and hid from him, but eventually he had caught and killed me. After that, I had returned into the same imaginary place, from which the dream had started. And the maniac started to chase me in exactly the same manner. I tried to flee in another direction, than last time, but had been caught and killed once more. And appeared in the starting point again. So I've decided that this is time loop or something like that... I don't remember how many times exactly it repeated, but it seems like several times. It was so annoying and exhausting, that eventually I had stopped to run away from that guy and just had let him to murder me without resistance. After that I've woken up.

i had a dream recently that i was taking a train to my interview for art school (im REALLY bad with national rail, only subway for me) and missed my stop, and then the train turned around and became a direct service to london, so i jumped off the train without my bag, ambled around newcastle for a bit in the dark, then someone else smuggled me on a train home, i went on the hunt for my bag, then realised it was interview day, had a panic attack, and woke up

Oh, it's like three of my most troublesome recurring dream themes combined: to be on a trip and and be constantly worrying about my baggage; being far from home and suddenly realize, that you have no idea, where are you and how to get back; and come to the university and realize, it's a exams day today, but I have nothing done or prepared. Hate this stuff.

I had a dream once where I was in a Target and felt like I was being followed by someone. I turned around to check, only to find that my path and been blocked by a shelf mysteriously moved in front of me. I turned back around to see a clown standing behind me. One that promptly beat me to death with a tupperware container.

To this day I'm still trying to figure out what the dream means....
