Another one!
I was coming home from somewhere and it had been snowing. As I approached our house, I saw that there was blood on our front lawn. But not just a light trail from a small wound; a ton of blood, all over, as if there had been a fierce battle there.
I went to the other side of the yard and saw that a giant hole had been dug there, a little over a yard deep, and wide, like a crater. My Dad was lying...
Because I need to purge this from my brain.
I dreamt that I was in some kind of drugstore with a lunch counter, and I was in a long line to get my lunch. I was frustrated with how long it was taking, and the guy ahead of me in line was fratty and being a douche. He had a fancy athletic bag, and made some comment about the ugly backpack I was carrying, and when I rolled my eyes at him, he turned to his bro and talked about how fat I was. I...

i recently had a dream
synecdoche:
that i was on a date with a bowl of pulled pork and we went out to dinner at outback and ate steak. it’s pathetic enough that i often dream about food, i really don’t need to start dreaming about DATING food.

Dreams
onemoretimewithfeeling:
My absolute scariest dreams are ones in which I lose something, or can’t get back to someone I’ve lost. Last night I had one of those dreams, and I have been avoiding sleep because I’m scared I’ll have one like that again. But I can’t keep myself awake any longer, so here’s hoping it’s all rainbows and unicorns tonight.
last night I had dreams that involved the...

i’ve been having these crazy vivid dreams lately. and i know people are like “omg whatever shut your pie hole about dreams no one cares” but the one last night was particularly haunting.
it involved being chased by a bunch of snakes. these snakes were in packs. and these packs were led by two…

she told him she was leaving and he effortlessly picked up the desk, threw her against the wall with it, and pinned her at her throat with the edge of the desk. he was suffocating her. she slowly was turning the most stunning shade of blue starting at the neck and growing like a mold up her face.
we all watched, attentively i might add, and said nothing. not because we were scared, but...

It's been a while!
So here are the snippets I can remember of the series of fucked-up dreams I had last night.
***
I was watching a movie starring Ewan MacGregor (or Tobey Maguire, or maybe it was both dudes playing the same role at different parts in the movie). The main character was a hitman, and he took a job and carried out with too much speed and efficiency to notice that his mark was holding a baby. So...

Always beaches
It started out innocuously enough.
I was lying on the beach; or rather, I was at the beach, and I’d gone in to the water a bit, just enough so that I could lie back and float peacefully on the surface. I was zoning out there for a while, floating in savasana, until through the water I heard some muffled cries. I looked up and the water was at high tide, rushing up the shore, taking...
Teamwork!
Andreas woke up in the middle of the night with a start, so I asked him if he had a bad dream.
“Yeah,” he said, “some bad guy was chasing us…” He went on to describe, sleepily, a crazy obstacle-course like setting that looked like giant perpetual-motion balls were going to crash into us, and some lunatic was chasing us through it. We were both running from...

Another strange dream:
I was having an affair with Jay-Z. Yes, please take a moment to digest that. It was…ahem…nice.
We were in some hotel room, getting it on, when Beyonce’s mom bust in the door. Then she went to get Beyonce, who followed in after. Crying ensued. We both felt really badly.
She handed him divorce papers. After she left, we noted that the papers had been filed a week...
Jessica: so i had this dream that you found out andreas had an illegitimate child and you were like OMG FUCK ANDREAS and i was helping you leave your ~* man *~. all throughout the dream i tried to find out the name of andreas' illegitimate child but you wouldn't tell me. mainly you were peeved he didn't tell you he had a kid. is that bizarre or what???
Arielle: *I* dreamed that he was a late 18th/early 19th century noble with a WAISTCOAT and a RUFFLED SHIRT and stuff and for some reason I was like OMGHOT and he was like MILADY I MUST LEAVE YOU ON A JET PLANE, PLEASE TO STEP INTO THIS EVIL NEW YORK CAB WHEREIN THE DRIVER WILL ATTEMPT TO KIDNAP YOU, BUT THEN I WILL MISS MY PLANE AND SOMEHOW CROSS PATHS WITH THE CAB ON MY WAY HOME AND *~*~*RESCUE YOU WITH MY SABER (NO PUN INTENDED)*~*~*. I've been having weird dreams lately.
My ex-fiancé had asked me to hang out — as friends — and being ever-eager not to hold bad blood without good reason, I agreed. We must have been in New Jersey for some reason, because after we spent some time together, he was driving me back home to Philadelphia over the bridge. In the car on the way back, he was saying, “So that was nice. Just like old times.”

i just had an amazing dream
krispayne:
It was a nasty storm and every one was told to go to the museum, but the power was out there. I was making my way past mashed potato sculptures to the bathroom when I kept running into childhood friends via flashlight. I ended up peeing in the urinal for at least 15-20 minutes, even moving mid stream to another toilet because a stupid hick from middle school stuck his foot in the...

sydvish:
Quick background: Wes loves the shows, Attacked, I Shouldn’t Be Alive, and, Bitten on the Discovery channel. A few weeks ago, we saw an episode of Attacked where some elephants really mess this dude’s world up (to be fair, he tried to touch wild elephants).
Here’s the dream:
Me, Wes, Vera, and the Ills were driving down the road, and there was a herd of elephants. There were several...

i had a dream with you in it last night, but i don’t know you at all. strange right?
Strange? Guess it depends what you dreamed. What’s that line from Real Genius…”Was it a dream where you see yourself dressed up in kind of sun god robes standing on top of a pyramid with all these nude women throwing little pickles at you?” If it was that…no, it wasn’t strange.
Ask me anything.
sherry:
I was sliced open, from throat to belly, quickly, as though by Goethe’s surgeon. But I was standing, and in the place of blood and entrails, cheap stick-on Christmas bows fell out of me. There were about 100, in various shapes and sizes.
there was a hurricane coming towards us. i looked outside and it looked like a tornado, except about 5 or 10 miles in radius. i was excited yet dumbfounded by its size. i went inside to take cover, not worried, but prepared.

Dreamt I was on a road trip with my mom, and suddenly realized I didn’t know where we were going. She said, “don’t you remember? I’m taking you out to your program. You’re going to grad school in Texas.” I live in Philadelphia and am very much a coastal person; plus, my boyfriend/family/life is out here.
Then I noticed we were somehow driving through Arizona...
Weird dreams
jhnbrssndn:
The past few days I’ve been having very strange, very vivid dreams, including dreams where:
I had cosmetic surgery to make me look like a 25-year old Chinese girl - not a sex change, mind you, just the cosmetics. Seemed like a great idea at the time until the day I turned up at work, and everyone was all, “What the fuck?”
I bumped into Morgan Freeman in a cafe in Liverpool. As I...

Fucking Tumblr.
6od:
I had a dream last night and there was a tumblr in it. Now, this isn’t really strange because there are so many of you that I know IRL status, but this was a particular tumblr that isn’t really in my daily life. It wasn’t a sex dream, though. I rarely have those which is weird, I know - but whatever. And if I do it’s usually with celebs like Robert Downey Jr. or Simon Baker.
But anyway, it...

The interviewer (it was for some sort of cool reporter job, but like a think tank more than a newspaper)? Came in with her coworkers and we were talking. My dad stayed silent until someone mentioned Honduras. (My sister is half-Honduran.)
Then he got belligerently racist. “THEY’RE LAZY THEY DONT’ WANT TO WORK MY COWORKERS DON’T DO ANYTHING” (Based off an actual complaint he had)

I had a dream I was in an elevator with an attractive Italian man, who didn’t speak English, but was trying to tell me something. I didn’t know what he was saying until Iooked down and realized he was trying to tell me my boobs were leaking everywhere.

Awful.
My extended nightmare last night—which truly was a nightmare—began with me “waking up,” or coming to “consciousness” (in the dream), in a very public place, with my clothes ripped, my breasts exposed, and covered in bruises and stickiness. My awareness was foggy, and as I tried to cover myself up and get away from the stares and leers in this public square, I...
My dream last night shook me to the core.
seagull:
I had already been shot once in my side and was about to be done away with completely. I was granted the opportunity to call my loved ones to say goodbye. They were sleeping and did not answer. That was the first dream I’ve had where death felt absolutely real, and I woke up sobbing. Damn, I can’t even die with dignity, I had to turn into a weeping mess.
It's really not nice to come home to find evidence...

What we stand each day to lose
No matter how horrible my dreams are - no matter how gory they get or how helpless I am made to be in them - it’s rare that I’ll wake up sobbing, let alone staying that way for fifteen minutes straight. Nevertheless, that’s how I started my Saturday. The funny thing is that while horrific, violent things have happened in my dreams for the past ten years, this one was, by...

From Alice:
“Had a dream your wedding shower got busted by the cops because you had balloons! No idea who you were marrying!”
This is funny to me because I plan to elope (I’m an event planner; ain’t no way my OCD ass would plan my own wedding) and because I had dreams about Tumblr people last night too.
Flying to China
I had won a trip to China through an internship orogram on campus. (Weirdly enough, I don’t know anything about China, but I remember clearly the name of where we were going - Xianghe - which is apparently a real place.)
My parents agreed to pay for the portion of the plane ticket that wasn’t subsidized by the program; I kissed them and my sister and boyfriend goodbye, and got on the...

But in my dream last night, I was picking them up at his apartment building, which was for some reason a tall and uberswank place. I was about to go up to the fourth floor, which was his, when I got a phone call from him who told me in a hushed and intense voice to instead go to the top floor and ask for Helmut Mercenary. (This was a legitimate name in the dream.)
So I go to the top floor, which...

I dreamt that I was at my little brother’s home opener hockey game and met guy lafleur. He was going through the crowd shaking hands and I was anxious as he made his way towards me bc I was wearing a leafs jersey for some strange reason and I didn’t want to insult him. We ended up laughing about it though, that guy is one chill dude. I hope he doesn’t go to prison for too long…

And then we went to some house event where his parents were there.
His parents made me leave because the dress I was wearing wasn’t “nice” enough and they didn’t want their reputations damaged by being seen with me.
So then I was drunk and walking home alone but I couldn’t remember where I lived, so I passed out and then woke up.

I unintentionally like to fuck with other’s dreams. I realized this while sitting here with Grrr sleeping peacefully by my side as I’ve reached over and without warning subtly scratched his “perfect spot” so that his leg will start twitching involentarily for like the 20th time tonight. It doesn’t necessarily wake him up most of the time but I like the fact that he half-awake...
I had some vivid and insane dreams last night.
blackmariah:
In one such dream Nudawn, Frangry, and I were at a football camp. Frangry was wearing a bleach blonde wig and being a bitch to me, but Nudawn told I was actually kind cool so maybe she should lay off. Then we had to do a bunch of line jumps and ride a bus somewhere. I don’t know where; I woke up at that point.
Why the fuck do I have dreams involving people I don’t even know?

I had a nightmare last night that I was in a car, but wasn’t driving it. A friend (in the dream) was.
She reached the end of a road overlooking and I screamed “Stop!” and she said, “Oh, sorry about that.”
So she reversed, and turned around. But the road was too narrow and her car tilted over the edge. So we fell off a cliff anyway.
I woke up before impact, but my body felt the fall. I...

My boyfriend and I were browsing for our first apartment. (At some point during the showing, I realized that looking was stupid because we’re not moving in together for almost another year, but that’s moot.)
Anyway, it was within price range, bi-level, with a wide, well-flowing space and an unorthodox design - things like rounded walls, both a spiral staircase and a curved staircase...
i was on a racetrack racing on a motor powered scooter. my coworker was closing in right behind me, even tried to pass me. i sped up as we had to jump over obstacles and she bowed out. i won the race.

I had a dream that I had a vibrator that was also a video game. So it had this screen, and it gives you a score every time you cum, so the goal is to cum as hard as possible. I bet the girl next door would be the world champion. Oh, also, in the dream, the vibrator wasn’t actually mine, it was my Mom’s. Ew.
baxterp:
I often dream I have a pet, a dog usually, that I’ve forgotten about for days or weeks even, and who is starving away wherever I last left them. Or that I’ve been asked to petsit and forget until days later.
Last night I dreamt I had a lovely beagle-mix of some sort and had completely abandoned him for a week in a flooded house. The dog was standing below the water, seemingly still...
