What's The Weirdest Dream You've Ever Had?

[Liberalynn]

Mine was dreaming that the clouds that looked like animals such as lions, tigers etc, were actually coming to life, jumping out of the sky, and chasing people.

Then I had a dream telling me I'd obviously spent way too much time watching TV. I was on the "Love Boat" holding hands with John Stamos, while being chased by a bad guy. We were then rescued by Don Johnson screaming "freeze Miami Vice," I kid you not.

What is your weirdest dream ever?

[Danger Mouse]

1. I had a dream that I was being chased by midgets who were trying to assassinate me.

They were dressed as ninja and were attacking me with fisherman tools.

[otherlander]

12. That's FUCKING AWESOME!

Ninja midgets with fisherman tools? If I saw that, I wouldn't even MIND if they killed me! It would be worth it just to have seen something that awesome.
:bounce:

[Danger Mouse]

18. The dream was based partially on something that happened to some friends of mine...

while we in China.
One of our last nights in China was spent in Beijing. Our hotel was across from a large and very nice mall. My friends were across the street buying some souvenirs. One of them made the mistake of counting her money in front of a wizened midget, hobbling with a cane. He acted like he wanted the money, threw off his cloak to reveal that he was dressed all in black, and chased them out of the mall.
True story.
They didn't know whether to find it hilarious or terrifying.

30. I think I would have been scared in this situation.

2. I once had a commercial in my dream.

It was about mobile homes

[Liberalynn]

31. Were there salesman in it doing their weird pitches?

In a car commercial here we have this one guy who keeps yelling HUGE, it is so annoying. LOL.

3. last night I rode in Bjork's pacer from Raleigh to Charlotte

She was driving, I was shotgun. There were three people in the backseat, apparently all DU-ers. And they were not DU-ers per se, but each was more like several DU-ers that had been rolled into one person somehow. So that is the weirdest dream I can remember right now. :shrug:

4. I've dreamed dreams that came true before but the other night

I woke up feeling startled and I had dreamed that I won the lottery! :P

It was sooo real!! :) My son asked me if it was de ja' vue or a premonition dream.

It felt so real and it was in color! Right down to the pink tiled floor I

was thinking of replacing in the new house I was thinking of buying! :P

In the dream, people were coming up to me crying and hugging me and congratulating me! ;)

My son told me that it might be a premonition and that I should buy a lottery ticket.

Funny thing is, I didn't install it but Firefox updated yesterday and it included a

LOTTERY link icon in the tool bar!! :wtf:

Maybe I should invest in a ticket or two? :shrug:

Weird. And in the dream? I kept seeing the numbers... $1.6 million.

[idgiehkt]

5. do it!!

good luck! :)

[Breeze54]

8. That would be so cool but do I dare 'dream'?

It seems so far fetched but then again?

What the hell is a dollar or two investment?

Maybe I'll get a ticket for the 'Big One', whatever game that is!

Just for the hell of it! I never buy lottery tickets. ;)

6. It's a tie between two dreams.

1. Being chased around my home by a remote control helicopter, then finding that my computer had been taken. (Obviously a paranoia dream.) Then, at the end of the dream, I went out on my back porch and saw a troop of baboons swimming in a pool and diving off the diving-board. Weird...

2. Riding in the Flintstones' car, with Fred driving. Everything was cartoon except for me.

[LeftyMom]

7. I had a dream about eating ham once.

Not really weird, except that I happen to be vegan.

[BulletproofLandshark]

9. I once had a dream about my brother trying to kill me.

We were at the drive in, watching some Star Trek movie. Out of the blue Kirk kills Spock and Bones with a large knife, looks directly at the screen, and tells my brother it's my turn to join them. My brother then starts running after me, holding the same bloody knife. I was only 7 or 8 when I had that dream, so it pretty well scared the shit out of me!

[Breeze54]

15. That would scare me too!

:scared:

[Liberalynn]

32. That sounds terrifying!

I had one were my father who has passed away, came back from the dead and tried to strangle me. I kept trying to scream but nothing would come out, and I was reaching out to turn on the light but I couldn't reach it.

I have no idea what that was about since my Dad and I had a great relationship.

:shrug:

I was pretty freaked out for awhile after the dream and had to turn on my TV and put it on sleep timer to calm myself down.

[Seashell Eyes]

10. ok. Here's one

For some reason, it was a new trend for people to dry their poop and use string and sticks to make mobiles out of it. Every mobile looked different. I was at a fancy party and looking at all the people. They were dressed in fancy dresses and suits. They were holding a drink in one hand and their shit mobile in the other while socializing with one another. I looked at them and felt ashamed because I wasn't cool.

[RushIsRot]

11. Wish I could tell you, but...

doggone it, I slept through the whole thing!

[Glorfindel]

13. I dreamed that the actress Piper Laurie wrote a book "The Caternalist"

about the practice of "caternalism," which is murder of a closely-related species, specifically American crocodiles being killed by American alligators. Evidently the book was made into a movie, which was a dream within the dream, because there were lots of extremely bloody scenes, in excruciating detail. It was so real and vivid that I awoke at 3 AM to write down the details before I forgot them.

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. I died.

:(

[otherlander]

16. Other than the recurring nightmare brought on by antidepressants

which I don't really want to describe right now...

It would have to be the one where I was in school, and I had
to get to history class, but the halls flooded. When the water
went away, I found that I was wearing a giant hairy boot that
went all the way up my leg and it wouldn't come off. I was
scared that someone would see the boot and laugh at me, so I
left the school and ran home. 
     My mom was there, and my dad must have been somewhere
else. She didn't ask why I was home so early, she just let me
in and closed the door behind me. I went into the back room,
and saw a six-inch man with wings in some sort of military
uniform burrow into my house from outside by drilling through
the wall. He started installing a radio in the wall,
presumably to spy on us with, and I started screaming. So then
both of my parents showed up, and the tiny guy flew up into
the air and bit my dad's face.
     So I ran and hid in the bathroom, and a fat guy in a
white suit broke the door by rolling into it. He wasn't just
fat, he was actually round like a cannonball. Then he shot me
in the head but it didn't hurt so I ran and hid in the closet.
He followed me and told me I was dead, and I said I wasn't,
and he said I was, and so on...
     Then I woke up.

17. Alien squiggly things were getting inside of people...

and taking them over. Their little squiggly things were sticking out of people's heads, necks and all that. Really freaked me out.

[Aristus]

19. I had a weird dream that I wasn't even in!

I had a dream about this Dickensian Cratchet-like family in Victorian England. Only instead of sweet, sickly little Tiny Tim, their youngest was a little devil-child. Complete with tiny horns, red eyes and a pointy black beard. He kept his whole family terrorized, just like that "Twilight Zone" episode about the boy who could wish into being anything he wanted. I don't remember anything specific that happened, just the general background.

Man, what a weird dream! B-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. I had a therapist who interpreted dreams as if

every character in the dream was an element of the dreamer.

So I guess that would make you a devil-child. :evilgrin:

[Aristus]

21. Shit, GoG, you don't have to be an interpreter of dreams to know that about me!

B-)

[EstimatedProphet]

22. I dreamed that the entire human race died

We all became spirits. I was the last to go. Of course I was scared, but afterwards it was all OK. Then there was a giant production of MacBeth which included everyone now that we all were dead, and I got to play the lead.

[Evoman]

23. I had a dream that the Earth flew out of orbit.

In the dream, I had a fight with my Master's supervisor (which is weird enough because its never happened). He pissed me off so much, I jumped on a nearby table and tried to kick him in the head, but missed. So he got pissed off, and told me to leave the University or he would call the police.

So I go outside, and I'm walking around depressed and all of a sudden the sky is getting darker and its getting colder. I ask nearby people whats happening, and I find out that the Earth is flying towards Mars. I look up at the sky (its all dark) and I see Mars flying by. Its getting really cold, so I run into a building and as I do, a freezing killing wind is chasing me and others. It flash freezes the people behind me, killing them, and I run into the building.

The dream is long and complicated and I don't remember all of it. I do remember at one point, I look out the window and I see a frozen dog that is still alive. I try to grab him through the window, but his legs are so frozen they break off. I get him inside and bandage him up though.

24. Kissing Leonard Cohen in a hotel elevator.

It was so weird that I woke Call Me Wesley up and told him about it.

[MonkeyFunk]

25. Just last week

I dreamed I was elected to Congress. But being the newest member, the other House members were mean to me, and they passed a rule that the only way I could speak on the floor was if I wore a viking hat.

I was mad, and kept complaining that they couldn't do that, but they didn't care, and made me wear the hat.

[Spirochete]

26. I had a weird one

last winter when I had the flu. I dreamed my sister was at my house visiting me, and when she went to leave, she stepped out onto the porch and pointed her remote at her car to unlock it, but the car rose up in the air and flew off into the distance. She got an annoyed look on her face, shook her head, and said "I gotta get that alarm fixed". That's when I woke up going "Huh?" Then I laughed and went back to sleep.

[Liberalynn]

29. That sounds pretty funny.

Flying cars would be pretty cool too. Save on airline delays.

[twenty4blackbirds]

27. I was a flying beaver n/t

[Liberalynn]

28. You should send that one in to the Stephanie Miller Show

for her "Beaver" stack. :rofl:

[BlueIris]

33. Couple nights ago. I died. Or rather...

Me and a bunch of other people were herded into an empty movie theater and then some of us were singled out by some authoritative government-types (they didn't look "official" or in any other way "governmental," but I just knew they worked for the government) and taken to a back room somewhere. They said we were there because of our "political" beliefs and statements we had made against the government. We were each questioned, then sent outside the room. When it was my turn, I refused to say anything about my beliefs, even though they threatened me. After interrogating me for a while, they send me outside the room. A kindly-looking woman in a pink sweater waited for me in another room outside the previous one. She was sitting behind a desk. She...I thought that all she did was touch me on one of my hands. But then, all of a sudden...

I was alone in the theater. Or, I thought I was. There were like one or two other people there with me. And I was like, "What's going on, where did everybody go?" Then my best friend from high school, Sarah, was there and she told me, "Uh, they killed you." And I said I didn't remember being killed and she said, "No, you wouldn't; they did it fast." She explained that she was dead, too, and so were the one or two other people in the theater with us at that point. That was the reason I could see them, they could see me, and we appeared to be alone in a theater that had been filled with people the minute before. It was the creepiest sensation ever--I've never experienced anything like it in a dream before.

Sarah then told me that there was some kind of a world-wide governmental take-over going on, involving the rounding up and snuffing out of all vaguely-progressive people who might oppose it. She said that some of the people who'd been killed were organizing a resistance of a sort, trying to communicate with the still living to help them stop what the government was doing. All I remember was that it involved having to go back in time to try to help the living stop the beginning of the take-over, and therefore prevent it and our own deaths.

I thought it sounded really far fetched--I was like, "But we're dead and even if we get through to people in the past, how're we going to--isn't there some kind of a paradox preventing this plan from working--?" But the other people in the theater were already leaving it, presumably to help with the "plan," so I followed Sarah because she wasn't a complete stranger and I didn't want to be all on my own.

The rest of the dream was awful--I was chasing after Sarah for a while, trying to keep up with her while she attempted to "reach" still living people in the past. It involved running around to all these different, scary locations in a collapsing world, trying to "wake people up." We couldn't interact with any of the few living people we saw, mostly in scared mobs running from various things, because they couldn't see us. Even some of the other dead people couldn't see us. Eventually, I lost touch with Sarah, and wound up on my own in the middle of nowhere. It was freaky. It was a suburban street next to a country field that looked occupied and should have had people on it but didn't. And I knew it was only because I couldn't see them, what with that whole being dead thing and all. The worst part was when some other ghosts showed up, a little boy and girl, looking for help because they were lost and confused, as I had been.

I don't remember if the dream had an "end," except that I think I somehow wound up back in the theater, with a few other presumably dead people.

Looking back, the dream is probably a gigantic metaphor for the isolating nature of true political awareness/assertiveness in the age of tyranny. When we become aware and assert our views opposing oppression we "die" to our old lives. Afterward, we find ourselves able to communicate only with others who have also undergone the transformation and even those connections can feel tenuous, superficial or unfulfilling.

Still--I have never before died in a dream and then gone on to "live" afterward. Once, I died, got instantly reincarnated and died again, only to get instantly reincarnated again. There was no experience of the afterlife, or of living in the old world after my death. This dream was hideous. I hated it. Hope I never have another one like it.

34. Making a beer commercial with Bill Murray, dressed as pirates

Set on a pirate ship around a treasure chest, he started singing, "Oh, a pirate's life is the life for me," and then he pointed in my direction...

"Yo ho ho and a bottle of... rum?"

"No, no, no! This is a BEER commercial! Try it again. Oh, a pirate's life is the life for me..."

"Yo ho ho and a bottle of beer!"

And everyone danced.

35. Once I dreamt that there was a screw flying in my room.

It was about half a foot long with a red top, a white body, and flew by spinning. Scared the living crap out of me, so I tried to beat it down with my blanket. Then my mother comes running into my room. I woke up then. Seems that some of my scariest dreams can seamlessly blend into the real world.

Had an odd one last night too. I dreamt I was watching a movie that started as a fairy tale, turned into speculative fiction about an elderly Martin Luther King, Jr., and finally became a cheap musical set in a grocery store.

These are just some of the odd dreams I've had. I suspect dream therapists would enjoy having me as a patient!

36. I was chasing a bank robbery suspect...

I was a police officer, and we were involved in a pursuit of two suspects who had robbed a bank. I was running after one. He ran into Central High School in San Angelo, Tx. I chased him into the hall and as I entered this long hall, he fired at me. I felt the bullets as they went through me. It was the weirdest sensation. But I got him nonetheless.
