Last Night's Dream: Our Collective Dream Journal

[Skillian]

That sounds horrid. I hate anxiety dreams. Yuck. I end up waking up more exhausted than when I went to sleep. haha.

[Bighuey]

Ive had dreams like that. So realistic that when I wake up I think Im still in my dream.

Last night I dreamed I was shaving with my electric razor and it started falling apart piece by piece. I wonder what that means?

[Skillian]

Last night I had this dream where there were all of these women who were around me all the time. Well just around all the time. Just watching us. I was aware of them though. It was like they were analyzing and judging us. I had a disagreement with my brother... and then this other girl started hurling vague accusations at me. Saying that she 'remembers the cold day and saw the pushing and shoving.' And one of the ladies put her face right next to mine and was looking into the woman's eyes while I argued with her. I told the lady accusing me that I know what happened that day to. And was like... are you really going to try to black mail me with lies? It will all just turn into a he said she said anyway. Then the watcher woman who was looking into her eyes said that she had dead eyes. I then went to tell my dad what happened. And while I was telling him the woman was looking into my eyes. I guess because I saw her and made eye contact with her... because I was both telling her and my father... she said nothing after.

The argument with my brother started because.. there were a bunch of puppies in the house... and the door was open. So I was standing in the doorway and not letting the puppies out because they would run into the road. Some woman had made a comment that I shouldn't have been doing that... and that was when my brother initiated things by making some mean comment to the woman about me. Though I can't remember what he said.. but I remember it being untrue and harsh.. and in front of all of these people watching us. So I called him out on it, and started to cry because it was upsetting that he would have randomly said that about me.

Anyway... after all of that transpired... I left the house, and decided I would travel. Then this nagging voice told me I couldn't leave because it would look like I was running away. And thus prove that woman's accusations about me as right. And I was like... uh... I'm not going to never travel because someone would be that way. I still know the truth. I can do what I want. I don't have anything to run away from. Then I went travelling around.


My dreams are so weird.

[Gannon]

Wow, that is a very vivid dream and maybe just a little bit weird.

[CHarris22]

I love this idea! I keep a dream dictionary next to my bed and often refer to it in the middle of the night when i awake from a weird dream or in the morning. I never thought to actually document my dreams. I think it's a really cool idea though so you can look back and see if there are dream trends?!

[Skillian]

Thanks. I thought it would be cool to see how my dreams are over time... but also to see how others are. The mind is a strange place. haha.

I hope you decide to join us CHarris22


Gannon: Yes super vivid... and very very weird. lol

[ALynnPowers]

Skillian! Your dreams have a common theme! You dream about being judged by other people!! Have you noticed that?!?!

Okay, so my dream last night was super GROSS. Warning. Subject matter may be disturbing for some readers.

So I dreamed that I had this huge blackhead on my back and somehow I was able to reach around behind me with the blackhead popper tool thingy, and this huge glob of stuff came out, so I pulled on it.... it kept coming out and coming out, in this long strange that looked like a thin string of white beads. And it just kept coming and coming and coming. And the string was building up on the floor. So disgusting. Well, finally, it finished coming out with a little 'pop' and I finally realized what it was. It was little beads of FAT being pulled out of my body. Suddenly, I was skinny. So I shoved all of the fat blobs into a sack and tried to take it to the dumpster outside, but because I was not too skinny/weak to pick up the bag, I had to drag it on the floor and down the stairs outside. Of course, the bag ripped apart as I dragged is across the asphalt outside, and it felt a slimy trail like a giant slug.

That is all. So nasty.

[Skillian]

Nasty but if real would be highly profitable. haha.

In my most recent dream I was in this city that was in the middle of a war. I was in this large building being used as shelter for civilians. I was going around with a phone book... because it was the only paper I had. I was writing down everyone's wishes. I would ask one person then the next. I had all of their wishes. Most of them were for peace or something pretty selfless. The next day all of those people were dead. I was left alone with a phone book full of dead wishes.

[Blackbeez]

So I think last nights dream was totally anxiety related but it was disturbing anyway... I don't remember too much, it seems like I only remember the end.. but I was in this strange house that was kind of set up like a thrift store. It was dark and I vaguely think I had a baby with me but not sure. My mother was there as well only slightly sick (she died three years ago) and I was taking care of her. There was also this little gold and black striped kitten running around. The kitten is what alerted me to what was to come next because she ran to the kitchen window and was acting crazy so I went to look.
As I look out the window I see the ground splitting open and coming towards the house, like this huge trench is being created and there is dirt and stuff flying around it in a cloud.. I start freaking out and I'm grabbing the kitten and yelling at my mom that we have to go, like now. She's sick so she's slow and I grab her up under her arms.. I can feel her weight in the dream as I pick her up and bodily carry her, running out of the house. I have the kitten too.
Once we get outside everything seems okay. We stand there, looking at the house and waiting for the earth to suck it up but it never happens. Somehow we know we can't go back in there so we start this kind of exodus... eventually running into other people.. of course the bridges and the empty beach are in the distance.. When we get to the bridge there is a line and we have to wait, then we have to get in these strange Ferris wheel like gondolas to go over the bridge and it's incredibly scary.. at the top of the bridge we were kind of getting pushed around by the wind and I woke up...

[Skillian]

We both had weird survival like dreams last night! How cool! hahaha... mine was way different though.


The earliest parts I remember of my dreams starts where I am in this jail-like facility. There is like this bartering of blood going on. Like it kind of turns into this clinic of sorts that is also kind of like a trail room. I am in this holding cell where the people in the courtroom can see me. When it is my turn... there is this Asian looking guy that ends up giving me this huge bag of his blood... which somehow buys my freedom. I don't think I knew the man... it was like this incredibly lucky thing or something. Like a random good deed or something.

A lot of the dream goes fuzzy for a while and I may have even woken up before drifting into the next segment.

I am living in a house aware that there is about to be a zombie apocalypse of sorts. I am looking at a bag I have prepared, and going over (within my mind) what steps I would take once everything started happening. I even arrange everything into my car... within my mind... of how it would all fit... and estimate how much time it might take. During this part of the dream it resembles my current life a lot... as far as I consider my husband's care and that of my animals while going through all of this preparation thinking.

Then I am scrambling for things I could use as weapons. I grab gardening tools... regular tools... kitchen knives... etc. Then I kind of start daydreaming about how I wish I could build this propeller tower with blades at the appropriate height to decapitate anything that came within range... that it could be solar powered and make noise to lure the zombies to it. As I am imagining it... it becomes real as me and my husband are following where those are standing... hoping they will lead us to some kind of safehouse that they are protecting.

We see a few buildings that look pretty abandoned, but then can hear what sounds like a saw cutting through wood. We follow the sound to find a man working on one of the structures. It turns out that he is building a more secure 'top' structure so that people can get out more often... being that the real facility is underground. Next thing I know I am no longer with my current family but I am a teenager again and with my parents and brother... as we are lead through the facility. We are shown to the showers and given clothes. Given a tour... and introduced to everyone. Then we quickly start thinking of ways to make the facility better. Put up a large fence around it, etc.

Again as we are talking about them they become reality. We have this massive fence surrounding everything and then a tunnel that leads to the other side with a locking door that opens down to it. The tunnel has doors at both ends. One day while a man is going out to remove some of the zombie bodies from the propeller killing sound making things... he comes across some and gets chased... he is unable to close the first tunnel door in time... but closes the second. So our tunnel to the outside world is now full of zombies.

I remember thinking.. well that's not major... we can just make another one.. but I think others were more worried and feeling trapped over it.

There is a lot more graphic detail and little bits here and there I didn't include.... because phew that would take forever. haha

[zeldas_lullaby]

Wow, I love this concept. I'm going to come to this page all the time!
Blood in a dream = life force, and your energy. If someone of a different race (Asian) is giving you blood, then that means that you are receiving your energy from a side of yourself that you're unfamiliar with. Zombies represent aspects of yourself that don't exist anymore, and in your dream, they're taking over, so it might feel like you're regressing in your life to the way you used to be. this is reinforced by the abandoned buildings that represent states of mind that you don't embrace anymore--you outgrew them or left them behind. Perhaps yesterday you were acting or responding to a situation in a way that you would have done years ago?
I hope I'm not being presumptuous. You don't mind if I interpret your dreams, do you? I really love doing it! But just tell me to stop and I will.

[Skillian]

I LOVE that you are providing thoughts towards what it might all mean. I think it would be fun if we all participated more not only in posting our own dreams but lending thoughts about what the dreams of others might be about. I have been reading everyone's dreams but I didn't want to accidentally offend by taking guesses at what it could mean.... but I totally don't mind if people make guesses about mine.

I hope you keep interpreting mine! I have had super vivid dreams my whole life... and every night. Just sometimes I can't remember enough other than feelings and glimpses to even be able to talk about them. Other times I remember every detail. But yes... I feel I could use some help in that area. haha. Thanks!

[zeldas_lullaby]

Fabulous!! This is a win-win. I live to interpret. Thanks for appreciating that! And you're right! We should all share our interpretations.

Dream on!

[Skillian]

I just realized I never responded to ALynn... yeah! that is definitely a common theme within my dreams. Being judged... or like unfairly punished... or doing things I didn't realize were wrong and being punished.... and just being overwhelmed... and like I didn't know! But it is too late and I'm just doomed.

[Blackbeez]

Woo Hoo! an Interpreter! Yay! I've always had the same types of dreams and have never known what they mean. I'm no good at interpretation. Please have a go! Skillian.. no survival dreams last night lol!
