hehe, Night"mares" Enough joking, time to discuss. Now, I've seen a couple of people had nightmares including my parents, but I wonder if people here also had nightmares. Heres one: My mom went outside and smelled smoke coming from my neighbors house and turns out, he was grilling meat. However, it's not the meat we eat occaisonally. My neighbor offered my mom some and she figured out it was the meat from the kids around the neighborhood. She figured that I was missing too. Now that I'm thinking of it, I'm going to have to get rid of the freaking cupcakes fanfiction thoughts. Discuss your nightmares here if possible.
I sometimes have weird dreams too, but recently I had one that will probably stick with me for a while... It started at about 5 in the morning before school and I was aware of the fact I was sleeping. Y'know, the kind of dreams when you're vaguely aware of your surroundings? Anyway, I was laying in my bed and suddenly felt something behind my head. The first thing my mind jumped to was "Oh it's the cat, whatever." and my mind drifted off once more. Then as I began to dream once more I started seeing these pictures and faces of a man in my head, I already knew who it was ( the guy from www.thisman.org )mand my initial thought was "Wow that's quite creepy" and continued having the images of him flash through my mind. Here's where it gets weird. The thing I felt behind my head on my pillow began to rustle and I could swear I heard a voice. This started to eat at me and the more I tried to fight the thought off the louder the voice got. It was right in my ear saying "Evan. Evan." and a bunch more things Im unable to remember. The voice began to get even louder and at this point it was pretty much screaming into my ear rendering any other thoughts but those of the current situation nonexistent. By now I was horrified that the thing talking into my ear might actually be real and so I got the idea to make a sound, any sound at all to break the trance that I was in. However whenever I tried to project my voice at all I found myself breathless, unable to utter any noise, as though all air had been sucked from my lungs, and after about 5 minutes of attempts I finally was able to make a sound. The sound I muttered was only a pathetic whimper, but it worked and everything quieted down and I woke up. My heart was trembling, my hands were shaking violently, and I was covered in cold sweat as I stumbled across the dark room to frantically turn on the light and end my nightmare. So yeah, that's it.
Interesting coincidence. Today I had a dream. (Well more aptly a nightmare.) I fell asleep while listening to music. More specifically, Swallow the Sun's album Hope. After some 2 hours prior, watching the video for the song: Doomed to Walk the Earth. From what I remember that's where the dream was set. I don't remember much of the actual dream though. What I do remember vividly is waking up covered in cold sweat, And my hands shaking. But I took 3 things out of this: 1. Don't fall asleep listening to Melodic Death Metal. 2. Don't watch videos associated with those songs before bed. 3. Turn on the central heating before going to bed. It was 18[sup]o[/sup] in my house when I woke up.
Hmm... Haven't had a nightmare for a while.... shame really. I remember one I had some time ago. I had a dream I was playing a game on my DS, sat on my bed, in my room (Everything in my room was exactly as it was in real life, mind, so when I woke up i wasn't sure whether it was real or not, which made it all the more freaky). I remember all the lights were off up stairs, but then the landing light turned on, and my door slowly began opening. When it was fully open, I saw a girl with a red blindfold stood outside. She said something to me, like "Follow my eyes", then began walking towards me, then she held out her thumb and pressed it onto my head. Everything went negative and weird, and then I woke up, and everything was still in the exact same place as before and during the dream. And the part that confuses me is I was still seeing everything in negative for a while after. Still creeps me out a bit.
I haven't had any nightmares for a while, but there were these evil strawberries, and they did stuff to me. They appeared in my dreams by the bucketload. Don't ask. Oh, I remember another one from a while back. There was me and a bunch of other random creatures in a yellow tent in my bedroom, and it was creepy. I can't really go into much detail, can I?
The worst nightmares I've ever had that were actually scary were where (get ready...) my friends didn't like my parties and they didn't want to be friends anymore. Seriously, I had these dreams before I discovered ponies. Loneliness scares me like nothing else.
I used to have recurring nightmares about being up incredibly high in the sky, on a shaky platform that was falling apart under my feet. I actually developed a mild fear of heights because of those dreams, seeing how heights never really bothered me until I kept having the same nightmare over and over again. If your one of those people who likes to dissect the meaning of dreams like I sometimes do, it probably had something to do with me not feeling in control of my life, or maybe a fear of failing at doing something important to me. The other nightmare I had multiple times was one where I was chased by a lone wolf through a forest, though the forest tended to change from dream to dream. Some of them took place in the same environment as another recurring dream where I kept walking around what I presumed to be an oil refinery, or an oil field of some sort. That one, and the wolf one overlapped at least once, but I'm not very sure on what those might have meant to me at the time. I often have nightmares about being in or around dilapidated industrial buildings, or factories for some reason, and that's something else I've never been able to find a solid meaning in. It's kind of creepy, and unnerving to me that a lot of my fears have actually been born out of nightmares, rather than real life things. The fear seems to travel from my dream into reality, and so I've become afraid of being up on high platforms, and get creeped out when I'm around run down old buildings. I guess I'm a living example of reality being little more than what your mind perceives it to be.
I have a fear of tornadoes. And i have frequent nightmares about them. And i don't have nightmares about them BECAUSE i have a fear of them, i have a fear of them BECAUSE of the nightmares i have about them. Now, most people are afraid of tornadoes. Reasonable fear, really. But i am TERRIFIED of them. ABSOLUTELY MORTIFIED by them. I have a fear of them the same caliber as Doctor Who fans' fears of Weeping Angels. I have no idea what started the nightmares, but every time i have one it's always either one of three dreams: (1) several small tornadoes come and tear into the houses on my street, especially my own, and my family and i have to avoid them and find some form of transportation to safety. (2) I'm at my old school and there are six tornadoes all coming towards it. I go in and behind it to where the people are to warn them, and when i go back to check on how close the tornadoes are, they are gone and in their place are pillars of smoke from all the destruction that they had caused behind them. (3) There are one or two tornadoes coming towards where we live, and i am desperately trying to convince my parents to get into our car and drive somewhere safe, but they do not see the danger in the matter and are reluctant to leave. I can't convince them for some reason, because they don't feel like going anywhere else today, or they are busy doing something already. I don't know why they won't take it seriously, and i always wake up feeling terrified and horridly anxious. This is the most scary of the three dreams for me. :ahh:
