Bad dreams, wrong sesations, and sick fanatasies... what haunts you?

[darkphantomime]

Weird experiences that I'm rather familiar with... sometimes I'll talk in my sleep, and there's a very thin boundary between waking and dreaming where you do something in the dream, but you actually do it, like making a movement...

I've had dreams where I'm fighting with some people... and I'll punch someone, and My fist will hit the (real) wall and I'll immediately wake up. It's true, and it's happened quite a few times...

Sometimes I'm aware that I even call out or shout in my sleep... it's just weird when you're half in the dream world and half in the real world... maybe that's not an accurate description, but you get the idea.

My friend jim had a powerful dream. He dreamed that him, and most of his friends, I included, were at war. The Chinese had invaded America, and kids were being drafted. Inside his dream, he was shot in his leg. He woke up with a bruse on his leg where he was shot.

once i had a dream where i was bit by a snake and i could actually feel the pain but i woke up and there was bite marks on my leg but no blood

I had a really scary dream once. I was really little in this dream, like back to my 6 year old days. I went to the zoo wiht my mom and dad and brother, and we had a great day. Then, on the drive back home, my brother was left in the zoo. He was all alone, and he was only like 8! So i was frantic, cause we had left him behind. But, no matter how many times i warned my mom and dad, they never reacted, they didnt even care. We never saw my brother again in that dream...
Now, you have to understand, the dream wasnt scary like ghost scary. It was scary cause my brother and I are really close, an if he ever died or got lost never to be found, that would be horrible. So it was a scary dream, in a sense.

One of the worst nightmares I had, was when I was outside of a castle with a moat around it. It was foggy and I look out into the horizon and saw something floating towards me. It looked like a banshee and it came closer and I woke up. The scary thing was though, I could still see it, even through I had my eyes open and I couldn't move,like I was paralazed. Dang that still sends shivers down my spine, even today. :'(

I think all of this may be because you're half-asleep or three-fourths-asleep when it happens.

Anyway, being the timid person that I am, I can dream about just any small scary thing and wake up instantly. For example, I remember having a dream that there was this giant orange bug outside. As soon as it would even touch me, I would wake up. :-*

I had a dream it was night and I was in my school with a bunch of friends.

I got shot in the chest and burnt with an old style flaming torch on my right leg near my foot.
When I woke up I had a searing hot feeling near my right foot, I checked and it was really red and burning hot, (there weren't any burn marks or anything).

For some weird reason I started shaking and burst into tears but my family calmed me down. It really freaked me out.

Heh, I'm not that much of a light sleeper anymore... But I can feel myself twitching in my sleep, just random 'normal' tics that your body makes... it's like you're moving, but you can't move and can only go in spasms.

When I have a dream that frightens me, I don't wake up all at once, I usually explore  the dream a bit, and sometimes it shifts, I notice these weird details and recall them vividly, but to put it in language that people can understand is quite difficult. It's hard describing a dream, because I notice the weird transition phase from one dream to the next, it's like the dreams are blending, but the new dream usually leads to a part that's entirely different from the previous dream. They say that people usually dream about 4 or 5 times in a sleep cycle. But it's the dreams when you're about to wake up that you recall most vividly.

But somehow I notice my consciousness shift from one level to another, where things seem weird and devoid... maybe my consciousness notices these things because,I don't know, I might becoming more aware. Conscious awareness of dreams, they say that the subconscious mind is reflected in one's dreams. Heh, then I've noticed some reallly weird things my brain does when it's processing memories when I'm asleep. But for some reason, most others I know have a difficulty remembering their dreams vividly.

Sometimes when I'm frightened or feel like I'm in danger, while I'm asleep, I'll breathe heavily. It's not a dream, not completely, they say it's more along the lines of night terrors. This usually happens while I'm not dreaming, but more while I'm 'falling' into the dream world. You know, it's difficult, but it's possible to still be aware and experience the dividing walls of sleep and 'falling asleep'. Sometimes I literally feel like I'm falling. It's a really weird sense of vertigo.

I had a scary dream once. I dont know where i was. I was on a boat, with a few people. It was kind of like JAWS. We were shark testers, or marine biologists or whatever. There was an old man, a woman, a fisherman, and a snotty little kid. The snotty little kid was stealing inportant beakers, and the old man took them away, and positioned them higher. The kid got mad, and purposely droped his toy in a tank. There were sharks in the tank, but they were in a cage with an electric lock.

He asked the old man to get his toy. The old man dove in, and the kid pressed the button and released the sharks. It was really gorey, and just as i was about to strangle the kid, the sky darkened, and the woman got a horrid look on her face. She then said: "It's back..." I asked "Whats back?" But noboddy would answer me. Everyone was panicking, and running around the ship, as well as some scientists who appeared, and i was freaking out. A siren went off, and water began to flood the ship. Windows were breaking, and there was no way out. i was going to drow. I remember the feeling of water filling my lungs. Then I woke up. I have no idea what sparked such a dream, but it was scarier than it sounded.

To get off topic for just a sec, I think dreams are cool. They may be scary at times, but it's like an adventure in your head....and they are usually out of this world.

I had a weird dream once...i was in the park, and i saw this roller coaster in the distance. Now, normally a roller coaster isn't in the park near my house, but whatever. I went towards it and tried to get on, but the car sped past me and i nearly fell off the track (i was relly high up at this point, the coaster was on a hill). Then, suddenly, i was walking on the track. The dream ended when i just kept walking on the track, for the rest of my life...

I rarely have dreams anymore, or bad dreams at that, but when I do, I'm actually thankfull that my night wasn't just boring blackness. The scariest dream that I had that I still remember, was when I was about two or three. I dreamt I was teasing my dog Nuzzle by tugging his tail, he was facing away from me, and when I turned around, he was a cyclops. Now, for me to remember a dream that happend ten or eleven years ago, I'm thinking it must have really scarred me.  ;D

i dont really have all that much bad dreams... actually i really dont remember most of my dreams... very rarely... i cant remember the last dram i had ;)

what i do alot is a get that wierd feeling like your falling... like not in a dream or anything, just all of a sudden, and like i jump when i wake up like i fell on my matress or something... does anyone ever do that?

[Zelda Veteran]

You know what the wierdest thing is? When you realize you're inside a dream. It doesent happen to me often, but it does happen. I'm like, okay, this has to be a dream. Because in my dreams, i can slightly see the back of my head at times, like 3rd person.

[MasterKeyX]

When i realize I'm in a dreamn while I'm dreaming, that only makes the dream worse sometimes, cause i feel like i can't wake up. Even weirder is when i see myself in the drem, like ZV just said. It's like im a spectator..

[Zelda Veteran]

Yeah, same here. When I realize im in a dream, im reckless, and ill behaved :P Ill do things that i wouldnt have the courage to do in real life.
