Comments on: What’s the coolest dream you’ve ever had?

I had a dream that I was eating a giant marshmallow and when I woke up my pillow was gone! (old, old joke)

For several weeks I kept having a dream where I was being chased by zombies from outer space. They looked like something from a cheap horror movie but in the dream they were real. I was running from them as they were grabbing people and throwing them into big vats. Then the people would crawl out as zombies themselves. I ran into a building that looked like the auto showroom where I used to work. I would yell to the people there, “Run for your lives, there are zombies from outer space attacking people!” The people would laugh and sarcastically say, “yeah right, zombies from outer space.” They got grabbed and thrown into the vats, that were always nearby. I would run to the glass door and it wouldn’t open. I could see freedom through the door and the glass front of the showrom but I couldn’t get to it.

A guy on the radio said you can control dreams if you tell yourself, at bed time, to remember that it’s a dream while you’re in the dream. It worked. I had the dream again. When I was in the show room part, I remembered, I stopped running, looked at a zombie and said, “This is a dream and you can’t hurt me, if it’s not a dream, well, I give up.” The zombie got a surprised look on it’s face and I woke up. I never had the dream again.

For about 10 years I experienced lucid dreaming frequently. In each case it was as if I was watching a video recording. I was totally aware I was dreaming and if I didn’t like the way the dream was going, I would literally rewind the dream. I actaully saw the dream rewind, complete with the static, etc. that you commnly saw when rewinding a VCR tape. Then the dream would resume. Some time sthe exact same dream would occur and I’d have to rewind multiple times in order to get the dream to change. The dreams were always very mundane and nothing spectacular happened. They were just normal life circumstances, and involved family members and friends. Another interesting aspect was that I could see myself watching myself dream. It was as if I was standing outside of myself, watching myself – watch my dreams. I existed in 3 different realities…the dream, the person watching and controlling the dreams and myself watching the person watching and controlling the dreams. This happened several times a week for about 10 years. I can’t remember the last lucid dream I had though. Maybe the invention of DVDs put a stop to it! LOL I did work in a video store for a while and I am definately a control freak.

When I was little I guess my mom took me to the mall often.
I dreamt there was an underground passage under the mall that was made entirely of brick and there were a bunch of sharp turns. My mom and grandma were ahead of me but kept disappearing around corners until I was finally alone. I kept walking and there was a bunch of animals in cages, like a pet store. Only they were monster animals. The 1 I remember the most was a giant skull with big black eyes who opened and shut it’s mouth over and over again. I think this stemmed from me always getting lost in stores, my mom tended to not make sure we were with her.

FYI: although most dreams seem longer, they usually only take seconds or a minute or two!
True story! I was pulled over by a cop who was in a bad mood and looking to for trouble. He accused me of speeding, crossing the double yellow line and being disrespectful. I advised him he was full of cow manure, pushed him and rared back to slap some sense into him when my alarm clock went off waking me up, i got dressed, went to work and did not get a ticket!

I had a dream that eventually went lucid. I was in a long line waiting to enter church and noticed I was naked, however it being a dream it didn’t seem that abnormal. My mother and I finally get a seat in a pew and I start thinking about me being naked. Now myu dream has gone lucid! I look at my mother and say that I know this is a dream, and she says how? I reply that because I’m sitting naked in a church naked next to my mother and we both laugh and I wake up!
Another dream I had was that I was on the cast of the original Star Trek and Capt. Kirk had forgotten his lines, therefore we have a “blooper” and we all start laughing. It was very real to me and I felt like I was really there!

I have the good fortune of having good, or at least interesting dreams and being able to remember them frequently. One of the strangest ones occured a few years ago. I wake up laughing from dreams a few times a year. Usually, I go right back to sleep, but this one made me laugh so hard I woke my husband up, too, and I could not stop laughing AWAKE for about 20 minutes. That being said, it’s realy not that funny.

In the dream I’m watching TV and a commercial comes on for a DVD collection called “Christopher Walken’s Worst Moments: ‘I was Born Rich and have No Talent.’” I’m trying to figure out if it is a real commercial or a spoof. Turns out to be real, complete with testinmonials from people who hate him. There was a sweaty, angry bald man who exclaimed, “I was so mad by the third segment I spat on the TV!” Still in the dream, I’m trying to tell someone about the commercial but can’t remember Christiopher Walken’s name so I tell the person, “I’m going to say Willem Defoe, but it’s not Willem Defoe – he’s nothing like Willem Defoe, but I’m going to use that name to tell you about the commercial.” This is when I woke up busting a gut.

In reality I have no strong feelings about Christopher Walken or Willem Defoe. I’ve never even seen a movie with the former, and only one with the later. Somehow this made the dream even funnier.

Anyone else have dreams where you are so tired you sleep in your dream? I’ve slept in a shower and an empty church in my dreams. No action, just sleep.

Ok, so I have really vivid, crazy dreams that are usually semi-lucid and play out cinematically. Here are the top 3-very summarized.

1. I’m on the run with my family b/c we’re being trailed by a serial killer and the cops who think we’re somehow helping the serial killer. We stop in a small train town in Montana for a while to make some money and catch our breath. We’re there for a few months and in that time I start dating this man. We go out for a walk one evening, along the tracks-very romantic but I feel something is off. He starts telling me he loves me and I realize he’s going to ask me to marry him. He reaches out to hold me and I freak out-I push him away, onto the tracks into an oncoming train! He’s dead…suddenly my mind flashes back to ten or so other men who I killed in similar circumstances-I’m the killer. I then go into hiding and leave my family to protect everyone from myself.

2. I’m in a glass building on the coast in a semi-post-apocalyptic world. Things are chaotic outside and there’s a small group of us (20 or so) who’ve gathered for a cocktail party. As we’re talking a light shines through one of the windows-at first we think it’s the sunset but then realize it’s getting closer. Finally a person (who we discover is an angel) tells us not to fear and that she has a special message. My message is that there is a new planet and that we’ve been chosen to populate it. I’ve been selected to serve in the “Eve” position b/c they need a strong leader. They introduce me to my “Adam” who is a guy I dated a couple years ago (and apparently am not over). All this revelation occurs over a few days. Oh, and part of the populating new planet thing involves my family having their memory of me temporarily erased so they won’t miss me.

3. This isn’t a dream so much as a feature of many dreams. There is this building, that is my safe place. In any dream I can go to this building and hide or have peace for a little while. One of its features is numerous secret passages and an underground bathroom/locker room that is always deserted. The building itself is abandoned and kind of creepy, but I know my way around and can always escape anyone who’s chasing me, if only for a while.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who’s dreamed about their teeth falling out. That dream always freaks me out because for some reason by teeth are HUGE in my dreams.

I recently dreamed that I was at school talking to some random guys that I had met. My friend Katie walked in, so I introduced her to the guys. Evidently she and one of the guys went to the same high school and knew some of the same people. They started discussing one of their classmates. Their conversation went along these lines:

Random guy: Have you heard about Jake?
Katie: Yeah, I heard he really went off the deep end.
Random guy: Yeah. Did you hear he tried to marry a goat?

Then I woke up. I have tried and tried to come up with a logical explanation as to why I would dream someone tried to marry a goat, but I can’t seem to find one. It still makes me laugh.

When I was about 3, I had a dream that I was in my room at night doing something, probably jsut staring at the wall because I distinctly remember a shelf with a bunch of toys on it, and all of a sudden something crashed through the cieling and landed a few feet away from me. It was – get ready – a cartoonish toilet that smiled and waved at me. For some reason this didn’t faze me at all and I went to my parents’ room to tell them about it. When we went back to my room, it had changed into a wierd commode with three connected seats and its lids were moving up and down rhythmically. Now THIS freaked me out, though now I just think what a weird kid I was lol.

A trend in my more recent dreams has been me losing teeth. Most of the time they jsut become loose and fall out, but the freaky thing is that I can actually feel the tooth moving, as well as the void in my mouth afterwards.

I have 4 common dreams that often repeat themselves:

Surreal: In a position of fear with no ability to react properly.
– Most recent one was I was showering at some place and then the curtain opens and there is a old classmate staring at me getting ready to grab… same thing happens… I cannot scream and I cannot punch, hit, or kick with any might.

Weight:
– I have a frequent dream where I am able to run vast distances in short amounts of time… with people being carried on my back.

Highly Imaginative one:
– When I was reading a Eragon and Tears of Artamon, I kept having this dream where I had a dragon (I’m the Dragon rider) and then all of a sudden I turn into a Drakhaon (Dragon Demon) and I fight to save something.

Sexy Dream:
– In a weird situation whether it be work or play, everything would be normal until someone comes into play. Then it becomes a X-rated vision and then… I open the next door and I’m at my grandma’s House.
