I'm not sure if there's a similar thread floating around, but I felt the need to make this thread anyway. Why?
Well, I am fascinated by dreams, as I'm sure most of us are. The thing is, I rarely dream (or remember them, anyway), but when I do they're weeeird.
This thread may fade into obscurity, but I would like for others to be able to share their dreams as well.
Who knows? Maybe writing about them will help them remember and understand their dreams better.
That being said, I'll start with the whacky and horrific dream I had last night that ultimately prompted this lame thread!
--
My dreams don't usually have a beginning per se, or a set-up. If they do, then I really don't remember. Maybe those aren't important in the context of dreams. Anywho, the first thing I remember is that I am standing in a condo with my whole family, at ground level, looking out towards the beach. This condo was literally on the beach, like on the actual sand. I could see beach-goers passing by the windows, they were very close.
So I'm looking out towards the ocean, and the waves are tall and rough despite it being sunny and nice outside. Suddenly I see something that looks like a fin cut through the swell of a wave, and a giant mass was being carried with it. Soon, a massive creature burst onto the shore, swinging its long neck about. I then cried out enthusiastically, "A plesiosaur!"
My dad then appears at my side, staring out towards the beach in disbelief. More prehistoric aquatic creatures begin to invade the shore, and the reaction to them is mixed. Some beach-goers scream and flee, others just stand and stare. I'm pretty sure a couple of them got eaten. I then turned to my dad and exclaim for some reason, probably because I'm stunned, "They're extinct!" His response was along the lines of a sarcastic, "Nooo, really?"
Up until that point, the dream was whimsical and pretty cool.
BUT THEN...
Of course, it had to take a dark turn. A particularly large creature throws itself onto shore, bursting from the impossibly high waves like a torpedo, and a detonation is heard. Apparently, a nuclear bomb was strapped to the frigging thing. The whole condo shakes, as does the beach. At this point, everyone screams and runs from the beach. Startled, I turn to face my dad who had backed up a few steps. His eyes were wide, and silently he slumped onto a chair and placed his hand against his forehead. That's definitely not a good sign. My dad then said slowly, "It's too late. We're going to die...we only have fifteen minutes." He sounded so defeated, so lost, which is horrifying because my dad is the pack leader of my family.
"No, we can get out of here on time!" I screamed, not believing a word I said. I begin to cry uncontrollably, and even in the dream I can feel my body shudder and my throat closing up. The prehistoric creatures are gone, and in their place is the gloomiest atmosphere you can think of, and people clinging to each other outside, sobbing.
I can't really remember what happened after that, but I do remember the despair and helplessness that I felt. My dreams like to tease me. I get to see some frickin' awesome prehistoric monster, and then whoops, nuclear bomb! Fifteen minutes to live! That may be attributed to my fear of dying, but I dunno, it seems pretty random to me.

Oh man, sorry for the wall of text!
In any case, feel free to post about any dreams you've had. This includes weird, funny, gloomy, sad, scary or just plain doesn't make sense. Anything goes!
They don't have to be new dreams, either. If you remember one from years ago that's always stuck with you, then go for it!
Dream speculation would be pretty cool, too, as long as it isn't invasive or personal.
Right! Have at you! 
I just had a dream a huge can
Last night I found myself
I succeded at last. Turning around and walking away I found myself faced with to strangers sitting on a table eating fish. Right next to them was a sign reading "shark breeding station".
Hm... weird dream.
My dream last night had to do
One I had earlier had to do with staying at a nice place on vacation, and being jealous that all of my family members got really eccentric and beautiful rooms, but mine was rather boring. Which this really has never been a concern on actual trips, but it was like mine was the only one that was decorated poorly.
Had a pretty nasty dream last
I often have dreams that as
I was once trapped inside a house, and everything was white. The doors, the walls, the floor. Everything. And I couldn't get out so I just roamed around until I woke up. Nothing special, lol.
Whenever I'm sick I have strictly auditory dreams. Sometimes I'll even have my eyes open and sounds will be playing. However, it's like a screaming, high-pitched squealing sound that's so awful that I almost always start crying and wake myself up.
I could sit here and tell you about so many dreams I've had...xD
A couple of nights ago I
I wanted to kick him in the face.
.
When I was about 6 or 7, I
Later my parents visited me, and my mother came up to the cell and whispered so I could hear, "I promise I will get you out of here."
Later, my mother's car ran into the wall in my cell, and we drove away. The police started chasing us almost immediately, so then for half of the dream I was in our car being chased by police. I remember in one part of the dream, we were driving on a bridge, and when I looked down below we saw the cops driving on the road below, so we knew we were losing them already. Then we drove over a ramp and crashed. Then I woke up.
But sometimes, and this has only happened to me two times before, I can go to sleep right after I wake up and go right back to the dream. So I went back and we got our car to work for some reason, and we drove away. We eventually lost them and we ended up back at home, and I woke up knowing happy, knowing the dream had a happy ending.
Hahahah... I don't really
^ROFL
Weird dream last night, can't
But I do remember visiting a weird and magnificent Abbey that aparrantly appeared in Sherlock Holmes.
I then dreampt of being a mlp pegesus trying to escape from a twisted society with a group of friends, three other pegesus' and two alicorns, using a very small and tight little airplane.
Then it moved on to some.. song of some sort about a vampire bat with a heavy dracula theme and how he ruled the world.
Then I dreampt of being stuck in a cinema showing, and the movie was... Twilight. I hate my life. ROFL
Latest dream summary, some of
I have a favorite dream... Me and my mother's family were walking on this railroad. We started fighting over something and split up. I had lost something in the grass somewhere, something red, so I was looking for that. Then this girl appeared and wanted to take me swimming or something. We rode her boat out to some islands(they were like little even hills in the water), and the smaller ones we used as jumps. It was fun. Some of the hills had woody buildings, shops, I'm guessing. We were just swimming around mostly, the place was rather populated, at some point I found a toothbrush and it turned out it belonged to wentworth miller, I returned it to him and smiled. Later we went back to the railroad, never found that red thing though.
Was playing with S's
Then my dream flashed forwards to this sort of weird decadent party where everyone was in sparkling cocktail dresses and the head lady was this evil bitch thing. She didn't like me from the start, and Quicksilver just vanished. Instead it was me and two nameless friends- didn't know who they were, but felt their friendship- and I wanted to make a getaway because she was trying to brainwash us. We ran out the door onto this odd street I can't even begin to explain, and made for the 19th address. It was an enormous walmart-like place, and we dashed through all the aisles, knowing fully well she and her minions could be right behind her.
Somehow I was able to leap up onto one of the overhanging lights and they saw me, but could not reach me. They left, and my friends ran off.
That night I received a letter (Skyrim-esque) saying 'Meet us in the Delphi von platt. We could use people like you." Don't ask me what a Delphi von platt is, I have no idea. But somehow I knew they just wanted to assassinate me under the ruse that they wanted to recruit me, so I kept running. Then I woke up.
:B
^ Hahahah, awesome. 'Delphi
Reminds me of a dream when me and my past best friend were on this roller coaster, only it was set higher above the ground, and it went really fast. It was really warm up there, so the wind felt nice. Eventually we landed in a forest swamp though. She wasn't pleased with me.
After a few weeks of terrible
The atmosphere and setting was like something out of a dark fairytale. We were outside, everything had a slight glow to it. Some rocks even glimmered, but there was no sun. The grass was uncut and tall, up to our knees. The sky had a dark sepia hue. The natural glimmer and shine of everything is all I registered... no recognizable/natural colors or light.
Then there was this tree. The bark's texture - rough yet spongey? Like a used brillo pad, but didn't resemble bark. Looked more like some sort of coral. Incredibly large branches came out of the base of it. Each one large enough to hold a person. He layed on one. I layed on another. I remember him showing me what was underneith the bark with his foot - luminescent spiderwebs. I remember looking down at my arm to see I had already been bitten by spiders.
Throughout the dream there was a constant warm breeze, at one point it ubruptly shifted direction and picked up to brutal wind. I was being blown away from him. I recall three little dogs. One had longish hair with the same markings and colorings of the butterfly pelt from TEF, the other two golden. They were all being blown away also. Jeff was comfortable on his tree, not even noticing the chaos that had ensued.
Melatonin dreams.
I recall a small part of last
My eyeballs had fallen off and I was desperately trying to put them back in.
>_<
I've had this kind of dreams a lot lately, where I lose a body part. There's been one in which my fingers, then whole arm, were breaking off like glass, and it looked rotten.
Another time it was the inside of my mouth that felt swollen and gangrenous, I ended up biting into my own tongue and swallowing it.
;A;
Nayu, I don't know why, but
I had a line traveling down the middle of my left arm, down the back of my hand, just a solid black line. I stared. I watched as that line started to split, split the skin of my arm, but there was nothing inside my arm- no muscle, nothing! I became alarmed and went to touch the empty space with my right hand, only to see the same single black line down the middle of the back of my hand. I instantly lifted my shirt. I had a single line running down the middle of my torso and also down my legs. (For some reason I was wearing shorts .-. I never wear shorts.) Every line started to split apart then.
Woke up...
.
@Wonderful This is pretty
This is pretty scary. I wonder how your dream could be interpreted. Were you going through a difficult time?
Dreampt I got into contact
It turned out the house he lived in was a really surreal place where people kept appearing and disappearing. Gravity kept shifting and new rooms appeared from no where.
I also dreampt of being a ballet girl who got up in stage and announced she was misplaced and was a guy. This earnt cheer from the crowd who proceeded to boo my teacher and the guy rating the show. I then said some extremely smug remarks and left the stage with the full support of the audiance.
^Lolz.
@Nay- I really can't remember
@Vee- I don't ya too well, but for some reason I think the second part of your dream is completely acceptable from you lol :> I mean no offense by that, I swear
.
Wonderfully: I dunno why
I dunno why that'd be offensive haha.
In the dream, the teacher was forcing me to be something I'm not. And the rater person was disgusted by me.
I've had more than one dream
And there was a small issue about mid-December where I had dreams for a week straight that all involed me running for my life because someone wanted me dead, or hiding because someone was hunting me down.
One of those dreams even involved me running for my life because I was escaping from the Salem Witch Hunt after being accused of witchcraft...again, doesn't say anything about my personality, right? lol
*Neria*
?Izotz?
TM, I assure you, you won't
And y'all keep reminding me of dreams I've had!
Nothing special this one, running for my life from a bunch of people that want me dead. Then I go and run off a friggin' cliff. Those cliffs that are like the edge of the Earth- just flat, flat grass and then boom! Oblivion. Hate falling dreams.
And I can't even count how many times I've had dreams where I'm either walking up or down the stairs at my home in Texas and I take that extra step into nothing either way, so I end up falling.
Does anyone else hate the dreams that you wake up falling in?? ;;
.
Ugh! Yes! I hate those
I woke up, looked at my clock on a saturday morning to see what time it was, turned off my radio and walked down stairs and in to the family room, where my mom and dad were sitting on the couch together. All I said to them was "hi" then wham! They turn in to monsters and try to eat me or something...
...then I really woke up, looked at my clock on a saturday morning to see what time it was, turned off my radio and walked downstairs and in to the family room, where my mom and dad were sitting on the couch together. First thing I said was, "Am I really awake this time?" XD
They of course stared at me like I was a loon and nodded.
*Neria*

@Wonderful Dunno, guess it
Dunno, guess it could be. I tend to think of dreams about losing body parts as pretty self explanatory most of the time. The body being what allows you to have a grasp upon reality, at least in a sensory way.
Although when it comes to dreams interpretation, there obviously are cultural (personal?) values and significations given to a specific object,event etc, that weight heavily in the balance too.
Gahh...Probably sometimes dreams aren't relevant at all about how you feel at the very moment. It could be because of a particular thing you saw that day, or read, or spoke about. *3*
Ayghngcdk, it's been so long since I had a dream about falling in. ( I remember reading how it often had to do with body changes. Not the most in depth analysis. XD)
@TM- You handled that better
@Nay- Well, I wasn't really losing any parts of my body, it all was still there, just... opened up.... But you're completely right on the fact that it could have nothing to do with how I was feeling- I could have watched some commercial for a horror movie! *shrug* Never going to know, lol.
.
@Wonderfull Yeap yeap! Just
Yeap yeap! Just seeing a corpse on a tv show, or even a video game, is usually enough to have me make pretty gruesome nightmares.
Last night, I dreamt I rescued a penguin that was drowning in my bathtub. We ended up having dinner together in a fancy restaurant.(wth...idunteven...-_-;)
I don't even need it to be
...A drowning penguin? lawlz

I've been having a few
And so the other day I figured after the hubub on twitter I'd go check out said ship and see what it it. :l that same dang ship I've had dreams about for the last, oh..three nights prior to my discover of the ship. Also im starting to question why my dreams have been so..I dunno focused around one person lately. usually I dream about everything even if I've something on my mind. I dunno I'm a firm believer that dreams mean something. Cause theres been times i've had a dream about a place i've been to. and i've had a dejavu moment.
I dreamed that tef was
A few days ago I had a dream
I've been lurking here for a
Last night, I dreamt I was outside and I saw a hawk/eagle(kept changing size, at one point it was a bit taller than me) land in one of the trees beside my house. It had just caught a hen pheasant and it was clutching the dead bird in it's feet while holding onto the branch it was perched on. For whatever reason dream me didn't want the hawk to eat the pheasant, I wanted it for myself. I shook the bottom of the tree and the hawk dropped the pheasant so it could get a better grip of the branch(weird dream physics in that the entire tree shook quite violently like I was super strong or something, lol).
I ran and snatched the pheasant from the ground, immediately turning and running from the tree as I had the feeling the hawk would follow me to attack. At this point in the dream I was feeling wary of getting hurt by it, yet for some reason I was willing to fight the hawk just to keep it from getting the better of me and stealing the pheasant back. I was right about it following to attack me, as it landed in front of me and I began to fight with it(I fought with it a few times, sometimes I was still holding the pheasant and sometimes I tried to hide it, only to have to battle the hawk away from where I hid it so I could take and run somewhere else with it to try and hide it again). I was mostly using my arms to hit it with and it seemed to be using it's wings. I was trying to kick it but my legs felt restricted and weak and I couldn't kick at it properly.
I think at times the hawk did take the pheasant from me but I always managed to snatch it back quickly. This, and the fact that sometimes when I was hitting the hawk as I was holding the pheasant, meant the pheasant became ragged and battered and it was barely still held together. In this part of the dream I felt... I'm not sure, but even though I no longer cared for keeping the pheasant as it was now battered and useless to me, I still didn't want to give in and just let the hawk take it. So I hid it one last time in an attempt to keep it from the hawk, yet this time I wasn't really that bothered about guarding it, so I didn't really pay much attention to where I hid the pheasant. I sort of wandered away from it or something(or was distracted, I'm not sure), what I got from the dream was that my back was literally turned when the hawk stole the pheasant from where I hid it, for when I went back to look for it the pheasant was gone. I think I was pretty annoyed at the fact I felt the hawk had beaten me in the end.
I'm not really sure what to make of this dream myself. I usually go by the feelings in the dream in an attempt to make sense of it, and to me it seems to high-light my stubbornness. The entire situation was my own fault, yet I refused to give up even though I was in the wrong. Yet, in the dream I got the sense of the hawk being the negative character. I dunno, it was an interesting dream anyway. X3;
Very rare I remember my
I think that would creep
I had one of those dreams last night where your body somehow slips through an opening that would be impossible if you were awake. There was a pencil width sized hole in a tennis ball and I managed to easily slip in to the tennis ball, which magically had a secret passage through a castle I was stuck in.
*Neria*
?Izotz?
Ohhhh my how did I miss
edit: I was going to say I haven't had any weird dreams lately but noooo.. .__. had a dream that TEF brought back the BAN pelt as an actual pelt again.. ♥ So disappointed when I woke up |8
What's the BAN pelt? O_o
*Neria*
?Izotz?
Black as Night? I may have
You can't use it anymore. I think if you use a certain pelt on an older viewer, it makes you look like you have this pelt but only to yourself, no one else can see it. It's also given out during Abios sometimes, but it's temporary and vanishes when you disconnect or log out. ]:
I had the strangest dream
I can only remember a short
I look over at this goregous girl- I knew what she was, what she wanted. Rolling my eyes, I exasperatedly call her an "over-grown snake" and casually give her my right wrist.
I think I should stop watching Vampire Diaries~
.
I had a dream last night
Then they went on to tell me everything and all the metaphors behind 8, Fatale, The Graveyard, The Path, etc., and then we played TEF and they let me have the controls to the god accounts, and I created the best ABIO ever.
They then bestowed me as...CEO...or whatever, of ToT, and told me that I was going to run the business.
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Edit: Just remembered this. It then randomly shifted to some sort of Team Fortress 2 setting, where we were hiding from sentries and all that good stuff, and I kept shouting at RED (for I was on BLU, of course), "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I'M THE CEO OF TALE OF TALES. YOU DON'T -WANT- TO KILL ME."
I...don't even know.
I was so upset when I woke up. ;-;
It started out with me being
So I'm Eragon, except for some reason I'm a much prettier Eragon (lol), and I'm punching people and using magic and everything is cool, but then a postman comes flying at me so I grab his shirt and swing him over my head and just throw him BUT THEN I realize he was holding his infant son!! ..who was wearing a tiny postman uniform, aww.
So I feel really bad and I call him some very profane things for bringing his child onto the battlefield. I grab his son whose arm fell off (NIBBLETS) and somehow I can fly, but anyways I fly him to some sort of safe place.
Then I'm in the aftermath of the battle at a modern park somewhere and I'm myself now and with a friend. My friend had just found this widdle kitten and it looks thirsty so we took it to the park because it's by a lake. Right when the kitten starts drinking, I look behind me and notice we're crouched under this nasty little bridge and there are dismembered paws behind us. Black and brown paws. LARGE dog paws.
So I say "Oh man, I don't like this. Let's go somewhere else." My friend is getting up with the kitten and all the sudden these two BIIIIIIG dogs are in front of us and they're talking like "blah blah you're on our territory, feed us the kitten" and we were like "HECK NO" and the kitten says that too and flies away.
Well, then the dogs are mad and they leap at us and pull us down this tunnel to a dog factory type thing..? There were dogs everywhere and there were these weird old-timey large replicas of 2 train wheels that were spinning slowly and dogs seemed to be coming out of it.
There was this pool of some nasty kind of clear-greenish acid and the dogs kept trying to put us in it. I got mad and punched one of the dogs.
SLIGHTLY NASTY PART
I didn't punch it hard, but its face was really soft or something or already decaying for some reason because its face just got messed up. I'd punch them and their face would collapse, an eye would be popping out a little bit. They looked like they'd been run over by a car x( It was really gross
So I keep punching these dogs and nothing is really happening except now their faces are morphing into human faces and they keep chanting "wait until tomorrow" at us. Then I had this weird realization that I could fly.. for some reason and as I'm fluttering above the human-ish faced dog people I see that my friend has kind of turned into one of them, so I escape by myself.
BUT IT WASN'T OVER
Then I'm a pterosaur flying around this post-apocalyptic town. (sometimes when I dream, there's this sort of thing where something has happened earlier in the dream that didn't happen to me, but it's like "dream history" and I accept it. kind of like I wasn't there for World War I, but I accept that it happened.) I'd befriended some little girls earlier who thought it was cool to be friends with a pterosaur and they fed me tuna, so I liked them. Then the dream turned into a movie sort of thing with me narrating (LOLOL) off-screen, or off-dream, what was happening.
I'm flying around being a pterosaur and it's all good, and I find these 2 houses that are built on top of each other. The top house has a garden on the roof of the other house and it's the only plant life I've seen in this post-apocalyptic town, and I kind of freak out and want to go inside the house that has the garden. The little girls have been following me and they call up to ask me if I want to visit the people with the garden. I like fly down all excited and they ring the doorbell. Now I'm thinking to myself "I really just wanna bust in there like a crazy person, but I'm a pterosaur and the people who own the house might freak out, so I'll pretend to be afraid of them."
The lady of the house answers the door and she's one of those stereotypical trophy wives who is perfect in every way. She welcomes the girls in and the man of the house (who looks like George Clooney but not as handsome) comes over and invites me to come in after I've pretended to be a meek little pterosaur. They have a son about my age who is kinda cute and he's like "omg a DINOSAUR" and their house is soooo nice.
I'm overwhelmed with their house and their kindness and I start to cry. I grabbed at a wall to support myself because I'm all weak with crying and I notice I have hands! Somehow I turned into myself but I can fly. And I'm naked for some reason.
I told the lady that this house reminded me of "home"
and then I woke up 8 )
Why the heck was I looking
I keep having weird
Some guy dressed head to toe in white with an odd mask (ski mask with cat ears, blue, think it's from a game I play) doing a pose with a sword. He was a samurai I think.
Surviving in a game show or after the apocalypse in an apartment that...didn't feel right with a bunch of kids. Competing against another group of kids.
I know I've had more too.
My dream last night was more
.
FishBiscuit, that dream. My
I had several small, strange dreams last night. In the first one, me and my family (and maybe a few other people) were the servants or housekeepers to this rich, snooty family - and we lived in the dark basement below the main house. When the family was gone, we'd sneak upstairs to their nice little kitchen to cook the kinds of food we couldn't eat normally. I was particularly bent on making fried rice.
The second one involved me playing a game on my cellphone (but my phone had a huge screen, if I remember correctly). It was about racing pink donkeys or unicorns or something, and I think you had to collect tomatoes.
The last one was me looking at these "cool" black jackets online. The men's jackets had this blue rectangle that you could personalize with whatever word/name you wanted, while the women's jackets had a blue circle that you could personalize with whatever Pokemon you wanted. I really wanted a Sceptile on mine. I was kind of disappointed when I woke up. ;__;
"It was about racing pink
^ That sounds like something I'd buy :'D

So, for the last couple years my girlfriend and I have been going to a convention in Toronto (Anime North in May) so I guess it's been on my mind a lot lately, probably why I had a weird dream about it..
We were in the car driving to Toronto when we passed a beach where apparently another similar con was going on, and it was closer, so we stopped there and checked into a hotel. The people at the front desk were all young, snobby guys in suits with comb overs. When we asked them for a room, they gave us a room that was like right behind us and the whole wall was glass so they could see into it. We went in and put our bags down but we only had one key card so my girlfriend went back to get us another and I shut the curtains to the room because having people staring at you all day/night is creepy.
When she went up to ask for another, one of the guys called her a hippo and she turned into a hippo. Then the hippo got mad that she forgot her iPhone and drove back to London to get it while I stayed in the hotel and told her it was a bad idea. Then she called me and complained about how she couldn't get back into my house anyway since I had the only key, so she picked me up, we drove home, and stayed there. o___o I hope my girlfriend never actually turns into a hippo..
Anjali, that game in your
Can't really remember much about my last dreams, though I do remember there being ducks and chickens in them. I think I was trying to catch them.... No idea why.
MLP dreams sound like fun
Last night in my dream I was a humpback whale and it turned out I was either the queen or the mother of all the humpback whales in the world; I was a much lighter blue than the rest of them and I was covered with all these cute white spots. The other whales were doing awesome whale dances and when I looked up towards the surface of the water, I saw that all the landmass had fragmented a long time ago and was floating a few miles above us. One of the whales told me that the people and land animals had left on their land many years ago and couldn't come down to bother any of the animals in the water.
It was very very peaceful. In real life I'm terrified of going into the water, but in my dream I was this giant, beautiful whale and I didn't sink in the water and nothing could eat me.
I had a dream within a dream,
I dreamt that the northern
