Ever have a period dream?

[Schema Thing]

I don't think I ever have, until last night.

Last night, I was somehow involved in a scene from what looked like the 18th Century. Stopped along the half-mile drive up to a French castle, a noble man made a snide comment about the dames lining up to meet him in carriages, as I worked to put together a giant cross with a Texas icon on one of the crosspieces. Oddly (as if it could be more odd), the wood slats we were given to assemble looked a lot like pieces of pre-stained machined modern wood flooring.


Did I mention I have the flu?

1. So.... you are not talking about wearing white pants and having

your Aunt Dot come by unexpectedly? Because that's what I thought of when I read your title! :hi:

[JVS]

3. Ditto

[Schema Thing]

4. well, the pants were off white

lol. I knew that was coming when I posted.

[xmas74]

5. That's what I thought it meant.

I thought they meant "Did I ever dream about that time in seventh grade when I came back from Christmas break and wore my brand-new white skirt to school and gave a girl in the bathroom my last tampon" real life event?

I often dream about it. As usual, I wake up crying.

7. Yeah, see, this is what I expected to read about in this post.

I'm hugely relieved.

[Rosemary2205]

10. Yeah, me too. LOL nt

[Deja Q]

13. I've never had one, nor have I dreamt of one... but that came to my mind too.

:wow:
:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. LOL... that's what I thought when I read the subject line too...

:rofl: Only mine would be about running out of tampons.... :rofl:

2. Strange you should post this.

Because a couple of weeks ago, I dreamed I was in England in WW2. It was during a bombing raid and was very scary...It was kind of a lucid dream, because I knew I was dreaming and that it was weird. I was still scared though and finally woke up. No idea why...I've certainly heard the first hand stories of my parents who lived through that time in England and Wales...but never dreamed it before. Very weird.

8. Interesting isn't it

As a child I had a recurring dream of being shot by Nazi's. It was pretty bad and I remembered the way the bullets felt when they hit me.

[cwydro]

11. That is strange.

makes you wonder, huh? In my dream, I could hear the sounds of the German engines...which were uneven. My grandmother used to look up and say,"oh. there's a bumpy one". I used to love that story when my mom told me it and in this dream I could hear that sound.

6. Frequently, even though I had a hysterectomy eight years ago. It's terrifying.

Oh. That's not what you meant.

Never mind.

:blush:

That is a cool dream you had, though. :hi:

[tyedyeto]

9. No, but occasionally I will have a comma drem

But I usually wake up since it's in the pause state of dreaming. :rofl:

[u4ic]

12. I don't think there is any dream

I haven't experienced.

Half the time I can't even explain them. Being 7 and 35 years of age at the same time? :shrug:

The last period dream I had was set in the early 20th century. I was a brilliant female Russian scientist who fell madly in love with a right loon who was experimenting with electricity. He also had another lover, she had money but he needed someone with brain power.

She was working with him on some experiments, and eventually volunteered to be a guinea pig for one of his, and the electricity to her brain caused, according to the dream, 'latent schizophrenia' (I don't know if there even is such a term). She (I) started to go mad...spiralled downward from a brilliant mind to basically someone who could only do menial tasks (ended up being a mindless servant to the two above in a flat in Paris).

I didn't have the flu. :P

15. Now you'd be fun to sleep with!

so long as scalpels and electrical cords were put away :P


If you haven't seen "the Science of Sleep", you should.

[u4ic]

16. I've heard that before

;)

I just looked up the film - I'm putting it on my 'to see' list. Sounds like a great one. Thanks for the recommendation. :hi:

20. I'm walking down the street in my old home town...

it is late autumn, and there are leaves on the wet soggy ground. The brown leaves leach their colors into the the water, tinting the puddles a blood red hue. There are snakes all around me, but all of them have their heads submerged in the puddles. I sense they are alive, but in stasis. I walk along the cold wet streets alone. I reach my ex-fiance's house, and she is waiting for me. She beckons me to the backyard to speak alone. She tells me that, despite all that has happened between us, she still loves me, and always will. As she is speaking to me, she transforms into a snake before my eyes. There is a rock nearby. I pick it up, and smash the snake's head to pulp.

The dream ends abruptly then, and I wake up drenched in sweat.


It has been more than 30 years since that dream, and it still haunts my memory....


And she haunts my memory as well...

[Broken_Hero]

14. Yeah

I've had old west dreams aka like Little House on the Prarie type stuff. I've also had war dreams, like the battle scenes in Braveheart/Gladiator...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. I once dreamed I was Lamont Cranston

And it was set in the 40's like the "Shadow" movie. Would that count, or is it just a "movie" dream?

[Schema Thing]

18. I guess that's a bit of both

I wonder how common it is to have a "modern remake" dream, like the Romeo and Juliet/Baz Lurhmann version?

Come to think of it, I had a dream not long ago wherein Muhammad Ali did a turn as a gladiator/charioteer, although everything else in the dream was modern.
