Last Night's Dream: Our Collective Dream Journal

Skillian · Post by **Skillian** » 06 Dec 2014, 05:37

I just thought it would be cool to start a thread where we can all keep a collective dream journal. The concept is pretty easy you just describe the dream you had last night in as much detail as possible, and then maybe add some tidbits of insight or thoughts/interpretations you might have about it.

And then obviously other's can discuss it, and just.... dreams are cool.

Anyway my only other comment before starting this officially... is that I read somewhere that if before you fall asleep you say to yourself 'I will remember my dreams.' Then you are more likely to remember. I hear it works like how your brain will wake you before your alarm clock goes off.

Alright then! I look forward to posting tomorrow... assuming I dream. haha. Happy dreaming! Post yours now!

Well I don't remember too much from last night's dream, but I do remember a scene where there were these creatures that were kind of a mixture of a zebra and a water buffalo, but then their legs were long like a giraffe's. They were standing in this mud pit, and it was understood in my mind that their legs weren't sunken in, but cut off. That someone had placed them there. Sad creepy dream.

Last night I had the craziest dream. I was being chased by a t-rex. For some reason I just understood that it only was chasing me. I was screaming for people to stay away from me because I didn't want them to end up with my scent on them. Because then the t-rex might want to eat them. I took like 2356567 showers... everytime I lost it. Though, somehow it kept finding me and I'd be on the run again. I ended up running to this cabin, where somehow the wind-chime hanging from the porch kept it away.

Later I ended up jumping out of a train... leaving the t-rex on it. I splashed into a river and floated downstream. I still don't know if I ever lost it.... lol

I really like this idea and I hate that no one has joined in yet!
Unfortunately, I don't have a dream to share though...

I like this idea too! I have some strange dreams, mostly with an 'end of the world' type of vibe. I have never been able to interpret them or figure out what they mean. I just had one last night involving a bridge. I remember crossing over the bridge but at the time I did not know it was one. I remember a lot of thick fog and gray. It seemed to me in the dream I was just walking down a road but then the dream shifted and I was standing with a group of people on what was now obvious was the other side and they were telling me I had come over the wrong bridge. When I looked at where they were pointing at, I could see the bridge encased in fog and it was longer than any bridge I had ever seen. I couldn't see the end for the fog and I don't remember if it went over water or something, or was just there. Then the people told me I had to go back over it because I came to the wrong place. I remember feeling fear about having to go back over the bridge, but relief that I wasn't supposed to be where I was.

Yay! I hope you guys think of this thread every time ya'll have a dream and post it.

I have a lot of end of the world type dreams too! A lot of zombie dreams as well. lol

I had a dream recently where I woke (not really) and my body was extremely heavy... but I just knew I needed to get out of bed. So I was fighting so hard to pull myself out of bed and it was like I weighed a ton. I slide out of bed and fall to the floor... then keep pulling myself along the floor. Eventually I stop and I'm lying on my side. Then there is this black figure, but I'm not scared. And I actually laugh and mock it for thinking it could scare me. Then I woke up in bed.

Wow. Such interesting dreams.

My dreams usually just involve me trying to find a bathroom...

Skillian · Post by **Skillian** » 19 Dec 2014, 12:51

haha! I have those too. I'll even have a dream where I get up and go to the bathroom... but then suddenly there is a fire and I have to run from the house... then I'm being chased and I still have to pee. Or like I'm in a mall or something and every bathroom stall is gross .. so I keep looking for one I can use.... until I wake up. haha.

Yes!! Dirty, out of order, and occupied toilets always keep me from reading my goal. Though I dread the night when I actually find a working toilet.

Last night I just dreamed that I was sitting in my sister's living room. Nothing else happened in this dream.

lol

Last night I hade a very long an complicated dream.

I was on this road trip of sorts. I remember a lot of driving. Then I remember walking through a hotel. I end up in a sauna/steam room with my husband... but instead of steam it was pot smoke. Then like all of these pictures of us end up all over the internet and stuff. Then I'm shopping and getting some cool toys for my relatives... like those fake cars for kids and stuff that they can ride and are powered. Then I'm grocery shopping... but there is already stuff in my basket for the last time I was there? So the milk had already expired on Dec. 1st and for some reason there were holes in my tortillas. So I put them back on the shelf. haha. Then I go to get some feta cheese, but when I get to it's section it turns into dates. So I just walk off. Then I am like.. I want some wine. And all they have is boxed, and the liquor section has bottles of tequila that look like desorono bottles.. and there is this random high heel shore on the shelf that is white and lacy. I pick it up and its also a roller skate. Then I wish I could have it but it's too small for my feet. Aaaand... that's all I remember. haha

You made me LOL for real, Skillian! You are quite "skill"ed at that... okay, horrible pun. Sorry.

My dream last night involved this girl that I was best friends with back in elementary/middle school. Background info on her. She was the pretty, popular cheerleader girl, and I was her fat, pimply friend she liked to be around just because she looked good in comparison to me. She was the queen bee and loved to exert her control over me. Eventually high school rolled around (we ended up at different schools) and I realized that she was not really a good friend, so I escaped from her claws before it was too late. Recently, we have reconnected on Facebook and suddenly she is the jealous one for reasons I won't bother getting into.

Anyway, in this dream, I was staying at some kind of small town cabin with her -- she was moving there, I think, but I was just visiting. A bunch of other people were moving into town at the same time, and somehow we all ended up in a kind of communal sleeping hall together. All of the moving trucks just dumped all their furniture into one been communal room as well, and so M (my "friend") and I were walking through the room trying to find her stuff. I spotted her tiny refrigerator (which looked like one of those glass door drink holder you see at a super market, lol) and a chest first, but when I pointed it out to her, she suddenly yelled at me for being nosy and going through her stuff. Then I pointed out that I hadn't gone through it (though you could see everything in side anyway, because the door was glass!), I had just seen her name written in the corner. It was written in crayon. In Russian, I think.
Then we drove around and looked at Christmas lights.

That's pretty much all I remember. Any questions? I don't get it...

haha I love dreams. they are so weird. I especially love stuff like that.. where the person in the dream is being so unreasonable... and you're just like.... seriously???? lol

I was dreaming last night that ... I'm not sure at first what was going on. Some kind of special event or something... anyway so I was getting ready. And I decided to straighten my hair. For some reason my sister-in-law and my niece and other women were like watching me get ready. And my hair on my left sift came out perfect and everyone was in awe. But then the right side of my hair was stupid and unruly. I ended up wetting it and trying again. The flat iron steamed as I tried to straighten sopping wet hair. Then the dream jumped. I was in this church wearing a way too short and tight black sweater dress. I was uncomfortable but at the same time I was like.. man... I actually look kind of good. And there were other women in the church sitting in the pews here and there... just about five of them scattered. They looked back at my kind of scoffing and whatnot. They were all dressed similarly to me but in different colors. Then I had this image of my flutter though my mind looking awesome in a bridal gown. Then I was back in the church again. The groom never showed up, and I ended up leaving the church with some dude that was there now... who I don't think I know. But for some reason I was leaving with him to see what was going on. We were driving and it was like my home town where I used to live but the streets didn't line up. They would be off a few feet at intersections and such. Then suddenly we were walking on the street and came to this parking garage looking building with those arms that come down blocking traffic so people can't drive in. We walk past it into the building. And there are people kind of sitting in this area and they mock us saying 'there isn't a gas station here.' And I'm just all confused as to how I cant exactly remember the layout of a place I used to live for so long.

Somewhere later in the dream I am home with my husband. But for some reason I'm like skinny and hot. lol Anyway but my husband doesn't like me anymore. Which was like wtf? lol

The end. haha

I'm sorry Skillian, I didn't read your dream yet! I'm going to get this out of my system now!
The other night, I dreamed something so weird.

I was on this little chair that moved along a track in this HUGE house from room to room. All the rooms were empty except for TVs on the walls, which were playing old soap operas, and the ceilings were made of purple velvet. And the floor... get this... were THE OCEAN BED. I was like, underwater, but not. And there were these giant sand dollars (still alive) that kept trying to jump up and get my chair. But I wasn't scared of them, even though they were a good four feet in diameter.

Anyway, I started to recognize where I was, from a previous dream I've had. It was a house I used to live in (not in real life, only in the dream) that was haunted. So I started freaking out because I didn't want to go there, but I couldn't go back because I was on this automated track thingy and I couldn't get up from the chair's safety harness. I finally made it to the end of the track, where there was a kitchen. My mom and my sister (both deceased in real life) were there, and I tried to tell them to get out because the house was haunted. But they didn't listen -- my mom just walked off to do something. But my sister came closer and asked me what I was talking about. I repeated, "This house is haunted!" But my voice was really slow, because a ghost had somehow grabbed my throat to try to keep me from talking. Then my sister just laugh and suddenly - poof she turned into a ghost and was immediately sucked into my body. I tried screaming, but my voice came out all low and deep, because of my sister's ghost inside me.

Turns out, I actually yelled aloud in real life, woke up my bf next to me, who popped up within the dream and said, "Are you okay?" So then I woke up. The ending was kind of funny, even though I was really freaking out within the dream. So weird...

Last night I had a dream that Barack Obama was my taxi driver and he kept on taking the long way home. Very strange, I have no idea what it means.

Bighuey · Post by **Bighuey** » 25 Dec 2014, 19:50

That is strange, Gannon. Alynn and Skillian, you guys have very weird and detailed dreams. You should collaborate and put your dreams together and write a fantasy book. I bet it would be a best seller. You could call it The Girls From the Twilight Zone or something like that.

I dont remember my dreams much. What few I do remember are short and weird. The last dream I remember is where I got drafted into the Army.

Skillian · Post by **Skillian** » 25 Dec 2014, 21:26

ALynn that sounds like it was super stressful... and creepy! And oh man.. the ocean creeps me out... so the ocean bed thing... *shudders* I hope you feel better having gotten it off your chest. haha.

LOL Gannon.

Bighuey haha! I don't know about that, but thanks.

And interesting.. I don't think I've ever had a dream that had to do with the military in some way. If I had that dream... I would be like... what? So random. haha.

-- 25 Dec 2014, 21:31 --

Oh! I almost forgot to write my dream.

I was in a school or hospital of some sort? It had moments where it felt like both kinds of locations simultaneously. Dreams are weird like that. Then I ended up going down like this water slide. At the bottom of it was like this hallway where six random kiddie lazy river type areas were set up with various themes. And I was just kind of getting hugged on a lot by people. And it was just random and weird.... I really felt the hugs deeply. Like my heart was all warm and fuzzy... I think they were the best hugs of my life. haha.

That sounds like a very happy dream Shela. I have this recurring nightmare where I am back at Uni and I have an assignment due in that morning and I haven't even started it. It's so realistic that sometimes even after I wake up I still think I have to hand it in.
