dreams thread 4: the dream

[Casey Pixmintro]

Yeah what I remember from my dreams is that they usually play out like a movie, often cinematic. I'm usually seeing myself from 3rd person, then like rtil said, the next scene I'm in the first person, but a lot of times I'm not myself and I'm someone completely different.

When I went to Mexico over the summer I was wearing shorts, which I'm not used to, had my phone in my pocket and went in the pool with it and it didn't work anymore.

Ever since then, I keep on having dreams in which I go in water, and I remember about my phone right afterwards and I bring it out and it's short circuited again. I've had a dream where this has happened at least every week since then. Not the same dream every time, but always about getting in water in my clothes (either I'm swimming away from something, or I'm going to save someone, or whatever) and my phone screwing up.

I always wake up all depressed and feeling all dumb at myself for doing it again before I remember it was a dream

[Jeinu]

my dreams are usually cinematic complete with fade-ins, cut-to-cut action and occasionally shaky cam

last night i dreamed i was playing "bioshock part three:the game". it took place in rapture and had the same exact story as 2... but when you killed big daddies, no matter where they were, the little sisters would shoot up into the air 50 feet and fall back down. you had to catch them before they touched the ground because otherwise they'd fall through the floorboards, since if you turned them on their side they were actually made of paper and could slip between everything. and you couldn't let them get into water because they'd turn into pulp. and also if you looked at their feet too long they'd shred to pieces.

it wasn't a fun game 0/10

I find it funny that rtil dreams about internet related stuff.

In any case, all I've been having lately are nightmares. I have a lot to share, but I've decided to pick out 2 that stood out due to the emotional, physical, and mental state both have left me in. Before I went on deployment, I had a dream where I walked out of my room and stood for a while outside my door. I was very tense for some reason. An inhuman scream suddenly rang out and I tried to open my door, but it was locked. Realizing that I had left my I.D. inside my room (it's the only way to open my door), I start running down the hall. I could feel the Thing breathing down my neck as it chased after me. I kept running down the hall, trying to make it to the flight of stairs, but the hall kept extending and I was starting to panic. It was then that I woke up in a half-conscious state (night terror I assume). I couldn't breathe nor move my entire body. I distincly remember trying to scream as a means to wake myself up from my paralyzed state, but all I could manage was a very quiet wheeze. At some point I went back to sleep and felt like total shit at work for the rest of the day. The whole nightmare felt very real and it was terrible.

This next nightmare happened last month. I'm up on the mess deck (dining area for crew members that aren't chiefs or officers) to watch a movie that someone had bought while they had gone out on liberty. The film is a home video from one of the locals on some island around Indonesia. The films opens up in an ordinary house. A bunch of mangy cats enter from the left. The camera focuses on them for a few seconds, then turns towards the left to reveal a black dog. The dog growls and bears its teeth. The cameraman says something and the dog suddenly bolts towards the cats. The cats begin to yowl as they run for their lives. The dog chases them around the corner and...well...a moment of the dog "barking," the cats screaming, and the sound of tearing flesh...a fountain of blood splashes on the wall. More cats are released and the carnage repeats itself. The dog transitions into something demonic as the film progresses. I am very disturbed from what I am witnessing and remember pulling at my hair as I silently cry. I vaguely remember the demonic creature being lowered into a fish tank filled with jellyfish and it attacks them as well. A young child enters from the right. At this point I break down and begin to scream at my friend, begging him to turn off the film and to get rid of it. This is probably the most disturbing nightmare I have ever had in all 20 years of my life. I assume this has something to do with the overwhelming stress and short temper I have been experiencing lately since my deployment. In any case I am very curious to know what each figure represents so that I may be able to interpret my nightmare.

Ive had a few nightmares this month but nothing serious just I have never really played a game that scared me that much.
I was playing silent hill, the monsters are not really scary but narrow vision and the fog in the game can really put you into the game. Your given a radio thing and it sort of senses the monsters and it will give a little weird static noise and it gets louder when there more as well stronger ones. Its hard to move and usually the camera angle is unchangeable so that in a way adds a bit of struggle.

The sequels weren't as good and became less scary as the graphics got better. The story becomes absolutely ridiculous and laughable.

Usually ill just wake up hearing the crazy static radio perceiving it as real or ill see a shadow and feel something near my feet.

i had a dream i was in the movie inception even though i have never seen it and know virtually  nothing about it, it was like all my assumptions about the movie compiled into one really depressing dream.

Last night I dreamed that North Korea invaded our shit and they held me and my friends captive. An I had this parring knife on me and I told my friends "Dont worry...Ill handle this" and I was such a fuckin badass. I was slicing those koreans left and right I killed like 42 of them in a gruesome fashion. I even had a knife fight with this other guy who had a sword and stabbed him with his own sword and my knife. I kill most people by stabbing them on there sides and slicing them right down and splitting them in half. I eventually developed a reputation and a nick name "The Rugbeard". Oddly enough I had no beard in this dream.

I woke up when me and my friends were in a bar discussing how to take back America when Barack Obama showed up and started to drink with us.

CDM that is the greatest dream I've ever heard.

Probably my most vivid dream I can remember is me and my elementary school chums were on the swings during recess, swinging at full speed but we were shooting at each other with .357 Magnums and I got shot., then fell of the swing and I guess died. Probably because we used to pretend we were in fighter jets and would jump off the swings when we got to the top like we were hit and going down.

The next dream I remember had to do with TBA. I was in an SUV on a freeway overpass in my town looking at a binder-sized screen much like an iPad only more square, that was somehow linked to the IRC and everyone was talking. I was in the back of the SUV lying belly first on a bunch of stuff so I was cramped towards the ceiling of the car. I don't remember the rest.

[Mew_User]

Every night I dream of TBA.
