Hey everyone - its your loving caring teddy bear Moderator (equiped with hatred malice and all other cool sounding evil things that totally negates the whole caring and loving and teddyness i introduced myself as- see? im sneaky...).

I'm sure we all have plenty of crazy dreams to share with people and well - im actually interested in hearing some of em as well as sharing a few of my own. First of all- I dream a lot. I know I do- even if i often forget them (like many people do). The average person has 4-12 dreams per night (other studies say 2-8 some say 5-20 - 4-12 is what i have seen most often used from sleep studies), some people have as many as 20-30 dreams in a single night- and some people THINK they only had 1 but it is usually because the dreams all blended together- or they just dont remember the other dreams. No matter if you remember them or not "dreamless" sleep is often not dreamless at all no matter how much you think it was- you just didnt have a dream happening around the time you woke up so you don't remember having any dreams from that night.

A lot of the dreams I have I end up turning into stories- ive been doing this for so long that some of my dreams - have not had me in them- i played the role of a camera basically- this has been increasing as well and has made far better material for stories, so - heres a few things about this thread.

1- Try to keep it brief - see all that above this line? It should be much longer than that- if it is- try to summarize it a bit- this isnt the story board so if you want the long version - put it there.
2 - No sex dream talk- yes- they are totally normal - and its very common for as much as 80% of all your dreams to be based on some kind of sex even if you dont remember em- and im sure plenty of people here would like to hear about em - but no.
3 - I probably dont need to tell anyone here this- it should be common sense- but no "stealing peoples dreams" technically by writing them out here they become copyright protected (With one difference- moderators and admins of the forum can delete/Move/Edit the material legally, just have to remind people of that to be specific).

So - I guess I can start with a short one.
-------------------------------------------------

I was sitting at my breakfast table eating a bowl of cereal, and there was this chimpanzee sitting across from me. He looked at me and said "Hey, yes- I said hey, I can talk you see. See me? See me?" "Yes, I see you." I replied He shook his head and said "No- you dont see me- you dont see me at all. I'm not here." "Then how come i see you sitting there?" i said "Why are you talking to a monkey? What is a monkey doing at your table? Shouldnt you be asking me that?" he said. "Well I guess that- wait- are you saying what I am thinking or what you are thinking?" "Banana" he said. And I woke up.

Certainly not a dream I plan on using as a story- but it has stuck with me all day because it was so weird...

I kept dreaming about that and I was just constantly in a state of paralyzed fear while sleeping.

Yash, that nightmare could be misinterpreted by some people.
I am NOT one of them. In the same situation, I would have been scared witless.

By far, the weirdest dream I've ever had was when I woke up at my dad's house, where I had been staying, and almost got down the stairs to breakfast before I realized, Wait...the house doesn't look like this... And then I woke up. The main difference was different stuff hanging on the walls. Nothing particularly odd, like a body, just some modern art that wasn't normally there.

I remember one I've had a couple of times and for some reason they have alternate endings. There's really not too much to say about them but here goes:

First one: I'm facing a wall. It's dark all around me. I hear my brother's voice talking (I don't remember exactly what he was saying) from all around me. He's talking to his friends who are also talking around me. They're talking about climbing the wall and making it to the top. I notice that the wall has deep groves stretching out all the way across. I've somehow become aware that they've started climbing and I decide to follow them. My point of view is fixed strictly on the groves in front of me moving down as I climb higher. I've made quite some way when my hands slip from the grove and I start to fall. I quickly grab the nearest groove and am able to catch myself. Then I start climbing again. I hear that some of my brother's friends have made it to the top and have taken notice of me climbing to. They start cheering me on. I fall a couple more times but each time I catch myself and start climbing again. I can tell that I've made it up most of the way and I feel safe and comfortable. Then the dream ends.

Second one: I'm facing the same wall. It's dark again, just like last time. (I think) I hear my brother and his friends talking, though this time it feels more like it was just a memory from the last dream. I start to climb again. This time I take a better look at my surroundings. It's dark because it's night time. A completely cloudless sky is filled full of shimmering stars. I keep climbing. Then, just like before I fall. I see the groves passing in front of me go by before I catch myself and begin climbing again. I keep going up. Maybe even to the point where the last dream ended. But then I fall again. I look down this time. I see the ground coming for me and I become terrified. I also see a little spot bearing a slight resemblance to the Sunshine Autos garages from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from above. I keep falling. Then the dream fades and I become aware that I'm staring at the opposite wall in my room and straight at the obstruction from the ceiling which once held my closet doors and yet also bears an odd resemblance to the spot on the ground.

For a while, all my dreams were following a pattern: I"m responsible for a passle of kids; something evil is chasing after us; and i'm getting them out of there/ fighting it off, and getting away usually involves a wild flight over dangerous ground at breakneck speeds.

In one case it was a contagious puke grey glowing monster comprised of slimey individuals (you could see the glowing eyes in the lumps, but they were all connected; kinda like some protists who don't have seperate cell walls) The only way to kill them was to slice through the eyes. At one point, I picked up a rusted cutlass and sliced through one that got too close, and loaded the kids into an old beat up roller coaster cart, and started it rolling. In places, the rails were rusted through. I got us all out alright.

The next time, we were being chased by standard zombies. That escape involved a rickety go cart down a mountain trail.

my most recent dreams have been the kind to fade as soon as I wake up. (but then, most mornings I'm awakened by wee distractions, so i dont get to file them away.)

Well, I have a horrible memory so I remember very few of my dreams. There is one that I probably won't forget because it was amusing for me and a few of my friends I think. Before I talk about the dream I have to explain a bit. Those of you who don't hang around the chatroom much in the afternoon probably don't know that I absolutely love Dr. Pepper. Normally I limit myself to one can a day. I don't want to consume too much caffeine (no one has experienced the potential danger/annoyance that is a caffeinated chibi in quite some time). But on this day, I slipped up because I had a Dr. Pepper at school and then another at home.

So, in the dream I was in Texas at my aunt's house. I don't remember much of the beginning because it was blending with whatever dream I had before that. I looked at the window and there were two twin boys working as garbage men. Both had awesome headphones (probably inspired by headphones I saw down there a bit before) and one was wearing a Dr. Pepper t-shirt that had the same color scheme as the cherry vanilla packaging.

Even in my dream, as soon as I saw the shirt I thought "I think I've got a problem." After that my family and I went into the kitchen and started looking at long, sharp knives for who knows what reason. Then my alarm went off and I reluctantly got up. It was interesting how many things from real life came into this dream. Unfortunately, it didn't break my Dr. Pepper addiction. :cry:

Feh, can I talk about multiple dreams?

I remember when i was about 5 or something, I dreamt about pushing THomas The Train Engine into a pit of lava inside of a volcano. Then I went inside and came out completely molten.Then I found one of those metal band-aid packs and took out an enormous one, which I covered my entire body in. I had an adult body by the way.

Last year, I think, I had a dream about me waking up inside of an aquarium, and at the table there was that tuna fish mascot with glasses and a baret and book, and the Chicken Of The Sea mascot playing cards with each other. Then Scooby-Doo came out of no where and sat down in a metal chair and joined them. Then it switched to a completely different dream where I was in Valhalla, using a shark as a mace and killing many many vikings. Then it switched to me playing Guitar Hero, and then I was playing a keyboard as an air guitar(Kinda like this one free game called Frets Of Fire) and I ate a flat computer screen. Then I supposedly woke up and went downstairs, and the table had a Coca-Cola Diet can on it, and on top of that was a piece of pie, which then transformed into a giant octupus alien and enormous tentacles sprouted out of the ground everywhere, and when I ran outside it was like my schoolyard, and the tentacles were everywhere, and one ate some short kid. Then I ran away into a cabin and massaged the octopus thingy king's back and I became a prince, then I got Spider Man powers and destroyed the Twin Towers.

I am so messed up, man.

I commonly had this strange dream as a kid that I would be in a house that seemed vaguely familiar or compilation of my own house mixed with a friend's house in a completely unfamiliar area.

During this dream, I would either be on my own or with a friend or two I knew and to the distance, this pitch black tornado would erratically meander towards us.

The tornado would hit and the dream would end, but it seemed rather graphic and realistic, including the roof tearing apart, doors flying away, and my friends would be pulled in the black twister, disappearing amidst the debris in the air. The deafening roar of this accompanied by the blinding lightning seems to only add fear to this already horrific nightmare. I had this dream very frequently, especially during a tough phase of depression.

A recurring dream I had when I was younger involved me being in the labyrinth with a monster. I never see the monster, but its there. The dream attacked me every single day for a month, stopped, then started again. It was getting so frequent that in the dream itself I would realize I was dreaming and wish to hell I would wake up. I would then proceed to run and be chased by the monster for hours knowing I was dreaming, then eventually run into a male toilet. Each time there was a guy in there, but the monster never seemed to bother with him. I hide in the last cubicle and listen as the monster enters. It starts to smash each cubicle door open [fairly standard monster/murderer behavior], and reaches my door. A flash of light, a wave of panic, and I wake up again.

This dream reoccurred so often I would sometimes experience it four times in just one night. It plagued me for nearly eight years, starting and stopping for months at a time, until some time a few years ago it finally stopped for good. I don't think I'll ever forget it, though.

Some of the more... notable ones:

1) My family hanging me and my sister in the basement.
2) Having a pair of Bloodthirster's attack me.
3) Some wierd Apocalypse Scenario.
4) Being chased by a bunch of Magic Girls (Not quite as fun as one would expect when they're screaming to rip you open and play "Lasso" with your intestines)
5) More wierd Apocalypse scenarios.
6) Vampires and a Labyrinth underneath my school, along with a wierd "Omen Style" pair of twins.

My dreams tend to range from "Non-existant" to "Wake up, for frak's sake WAKE UP!"

Maybe I should lay off the Low-Fantasy for a bit?

Well, I've had a recurring nightmare. This dream returns to me about twice a month generally, though it's becoming increasingly more frequent.

It starts with me and my friend (who wouldn't want his name know even online) in school, climbing the equipment in the gym when the teacher isn't looking (something we do quite often now). I can remember jumping into a rolled up floor mat when suddenly we hear sirens. Warning sirens, not police or firefighters. Me and my friend exchange glances, and I can see he's just as confused as I am. We can see the teacher's look of absolute terror. She quickly begins evacuating the students, leading them outside and into the parking lot, while a voice over the intercom is telling everyone to "Remain calm." We don't know what's going on, but it can't be good. My friend, who was separated from me during the evacuation, is running toward me from a different exit. He yells something, but I can never understand him. I'm about to call back, but am interrupted by a flash of light behind my friend. Everything seems to move in slow motion. I realize what the flash is, but knowing what it is just isn't enough to stop it. The shockwave speeds out in front of the blast, leveling all that stands in its way. As I reach out to my friend, we are enveloped in the expanding wall of fire. For reasons unknown, I am not killed by the explosion. When the fire itself has subsided, with the smoke and mushroom cloud over my head following gradually, I am left unmarked. I survey the destruction, unable to move or speak. Nothing remains. A man dressed in black can be seen leaning on a cane at the epicenter of the blast. He looks up, and I find myself staring into my own face. The other me is identical in every way, but his eyes are entirely black. He grins, an image that has burned itself into my mind, and speaks in a voice that seems to come from all directions, "It won't be long now." His look changes from one of sick satisfaction to one of pure hatred, and he suddenly seems much closer. He jumps at me, and I wake up panting and sweating.

I'm sorry, I'm not to good when it comes to describing anything, let alone my own dreams.
