Have you had any odd dreams lately, why not tell us about them?
Last one I remember was being in a big theater and it was my act when the crowd all of a sudden started saying my name and sort of Chanting it. The floor broke and everyone was still chanting, when a figure came out the darkness, It was my brother shaking me. I woke up and found my brother looking at me, I was on the floor and my brother was nudging me, trying to wake me up.

I had a dream where the former PM, John Howard, was in a rap battle against our current PM, Kevin Rudd.
As for last night, I was in Persia.

Sounds Nice Pever, Saw A picture of your new car too
Years ago I saw a music video that freaked me out because it resembled my dreams so closely (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxiZOCU6Wxs). Then I found out it was modeled on the singer's dreams, so it all made sense.

I had a dream where the former PM, John Howard, was in a rap battle against our current PM, Kevin Rudd.
Howard:
My fellow Australians, I got something to say,
Im the man for the job, come election day.
I'll hit Rudd for six, I got all the tricks,
I'm the primest minister in Aussie politics.
I've been here since '96, and im doing swell,
I take care of the young, and the old as well,
From the city to the surf, to the R.S.L.
What up my Diggers?
GARRETT:
Opposition in the House..... of Representatives.
(Represent)
RUDD:
Now make way for me, I'm the R-U-double-D,
I'm the flyest mother-rudder that you ever did see.
I listen to your voices, you making all them noises,
You say you didn't like it, so I'm rolling back Work Choices.
(Is it power you'll seize?)
I'll crush Howard with ease.
Now sit back, relax, while i speak Chinese.
CHINESE GUY:
(In chinese) What's your immigration policy?
RUDD:
(In Chinese) Yes.
(Mr Rudd), Call me Kevin, 'cause i'll rock you in'07,
If we fizzle, take a snizzle, I'll be back in '011.
I'm manna sent from Heaven for the ALP,
Howard, you're a coward, I'm the R-U-double-D.
1 on 1:
H: Aww, Mr Rudd, you're a dud!
R: Ladies say that i'm a stud!
H: They were paid to say that bud!
R: Well, you look like Elmer Fudd or Mr Sheen.
(That's MEAN, I work hard to keep floors clean!)
RAY MARTIN:
This battle's jus startin',
I'm Ray Martin.
Let's see who's got the policies,
to be the next.... Edmund Barton?
Im Ray Martin.
HOWARD:
Im the battler from Bennelong,
The PM you depend upon.
I'll keep your mortgage down,
(R:If you're marginal he'll spend a bomb.)
It isn't wrong to think I give a damn about the nation
I'm here to do a job.
(R: Did i mention i speak Asian?)
A one trick wonder, Kevin-bloody-Rudd.
You're wife screwed all her workers,
Now you're name in Canberra's "Mudd".
RUDD:
Im an old-skool player, newest of the new.
If Latham couldn't hack it, I'll see the party through.
HOWARD:
Hell, ill get this party started with a comeback that's cathartic.
RM:(Its been years, but it appears,
Labor's winning, Im ray Martin.)
RUDD:
Im a contender, always coming from the back.
You're a pretender, now it's time, to pack.
Get out of Kiribilli.
It was cute but now it's silly.
I'm about to set up shop,
With Garrett, Swan and Gilly.
HOWARD:
Right...okay...
Peter you want to take over!?
COSTELLO:
Howard's gone, now im your fellow.
Prepare for a regime that's quite mellow.
I wear ties that are coloured yellow.
That's 'cause im Peter Costello -ello -ello -ay -ay -ay,
I'm Peter Costello -ello -ello -ay -ay -ay.
Yeah, Peter Costello........
.....budget surplus..... yeah my yellow tie.....

I have wild dreams almost every night. It's one of the reasons I love going to sleep.
Every once in a while I wake up with my face soaking wet from crying in my sleep. It usually wakes me up, so I actually wake up crying. Last time it happened was about two or three weeks ago. It's kind of neat. It doesn't make me feel bad that it happened, I find it kind of... spiritual, in an odd way. I feel like my subconscious is making contact with my physical being.
One funky dream I had a few months ago, as much as I can remember it, I was standing by a small lake and a polar bear came up next to me. I was scared, so I threw a piece of ham into the water to distract the bear. The polar bear chased after it and drowned in a foot of water. Thrashing about and then sinking and disappearing. Then a rhinocerous came up to me and scared me as well. I jumped into the water and swam to the other side of the lake but the rhino kept following me. I swam back, he still followed, and back again, and he still followed. Finally I got tired and got out and he got out beside me and he just stood there, not even looking at me. He was following me just because he wanted to stand next to me.
I don't know where things like that come from, but I love it. :sunny:

once a long time ago i had a nightmare that i left my pants on the subway...
In my weirdest dream recently I was out taking a late night walk when a giant boomerang came whooshing overhead so I jumped up and tried to grab it, only to be lifted up and taken along with it. Just when I was about jump down because I was dizzy, it suddenly flew up way too high to jump and flew out over the bush where someone started taking pot shots at me. All I had to fire back was a full bladder, so I pulled down my pants(I'm still not sure how I managed this while using both hands to hold the boomerang but hey) and I let er rip. The shooting stopped, but then I slipped and fell only to wake up, just having fell over while pissing in the bath.
My wierdest dream ever was 5 or 6 years back, while I was staying at my nanna's farm. I was sneaking around a lake looking for a bunyip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip), only to find that it had found me first, so I jumped up and legged it outta there, luckily it wasn't too fast on land so I was putting plenty of distance between us and then I cracked my forehead on a branch and fell over, luckily it turned out that the bunyip was just my dog and it started licking my forehead. When I woke up my shirt was all wet and covered in grass stains and my forehead had blood all over it. I went down to the pond in the morning and seen all the scuff marks where I had been crawling around the bank and some blood on a low branch of the mulberry tree nearby.

I had a dream where I fulfilled the fantasy of cussing out my stepmom and calling her on all of the selfish and screwed up things she has done to her kids and my brother and I. I woke up around noon that day, it was the second single happiest day of my life.

:shocked: That's amazing! They even predicted what your dream was gonna be from 2 years in the... :inquisitive: Heeeeey, wait a sec :smash:
I very rarely remember my dreams.
The weirdest dream I've had in along time was one where I turned into an Ouroboros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros).
I usually have crazy dreams every night... they range from me being back home visiting my family (sometimes my deceased grandparents that died many years ago) to me jumping out of a plane... they are pretty cool.
Try taking melatonin and valerian root (think fight club) for awesome dreams. They really do work.
No idea how I think up the stuff I do, but I have dreams with amazing details, these are real places I am 'in' but they don't actually exist. Occasionally a T-Rex shows up.

I have a had a few strange dreams (nightmares ?) recently about small spaces... im slightly claustriphobic (can't get in the boot of a fiesta or corsa to go somewhere if it has a parcel shelf covering it, i can happily squeeze myself into a small cardboard box or something though)
Anyway these dreams seemed to feature me repeatedly having to go into or through a small space.... the two from recent times i remember are....
1) For some reason there is a room in the house which you can only get through my crawling on your stomach through a really tight corridor (basically just big enough for me to barely squeeze through) it felt like this was happening repeatedly in the dream, i would always be on my way out of the room or on my way into it... and i was terrified of getting stuck in the thing, i could really feel the fear building up everytime i went for the corridor... and it seemed even worse when i was already in the room as the only way out was through this corridor.
2) Im not sure where i was or why this was happening, but for some reason i kept being returned to this room (the room being all i really remember) the room seemed to be white plastic (think the white pvc windows without glass) and seemed to be fitted to me to the point where my hands were pressed up against the plastic. As soon as i would get shut in there (i can't remember a door i would just be shut in) i would bang on the wall to be let out and i would get let out (though i can't remember outside the room i remember being let out) but as with the other dream i seemed to repeatedly go through this cycle...
Both times I woke up feeling stressed out (i think or something like it)from what feels like facing my fear over and over again, the fear was really bad as well. I can really feel it when im in the dreams... it probably doesn't help that i don't really experience any fear in normal life (partially a control of fear partially lack of situations to fear) but in my dreams i cant seem to control my fear...
Any ideas as to why... ive never been paticuarly fond of small cramped spaces but it isn't exactly a major fear... is my mind trying to get me over my fear through familiarity ? Am i more worried about small spaces than i thught and its been subconcuisly playing on my mind ? Is my brain just wiping me out for the giggles...

I used to wake up, completely terrified of a dream where I was viewing myself from a birds-eye-view, rapidly zooming out to reveal a whale in the same bed. I never understood that one, for all sorts of reasons. This stopped when I was 8 years old though.
This isn't really a dream, but I think it deserves a mention. I was lying in bed one night, totally conscious and aware that I needed sleep, which only served to keep me awake. So I simply lay still for about an hour, without any improvement in the situation, when suddenly, my body just quit responding. Sleep paralysis is an absolutely terrifying experience, and it happened when my head was in a rather uncomfortable position, curved slightly upwards and turned to the side. Being exhausted, I freaked out because I though I had broken my neck or something and died, but I soon regained control.
Unfortunately, because I was half-delirious, utterly confused, and totally unwilling to experience it again, I couldn't calm down, in fear that I would just half-shut down again. I ended up pulling an all-nighter, and an especially tense one at that.

As for a serious dream, I had this recurring one over many years, I'd be on that part where the grass meets the sand. Its sandy, but grassy, and there was a winding creek with a single bridge. My dad was out on the beach, and there was all these holes. I call out to him and he starts towards me, but out of these holes come these crabs. Millions of them. Big blighters too, I scream out and he starts running (for some reason for the purpose of this dream he lost about 40 kilos) but they run him down, take him out and eat him alive.
Maybe that is why I hate the beach so much.
It would happen every night...for so long....

...I hate that. It always happens when I wake up without an alarm and lasts about an hour or so.
Anywho, I have this recurring dream taht I am staring a large white wall as far as you can see and as smooth as can be. It is rather disturbing for some reason, it makes me very uncomfortable. But other than that one, I get a few really strange ones every night, and Ive given up trying to remember them. Ill post again tomorrow if I get any good ones.

Sleep paralysis sounds kind of cool. :clown:
No idea if it is related or not; but often as I am close to falling asleep, I regain full consciousness as I realize that I am in fact in free fall; only to a half second later figure out as I move my arms in an attempt to get hold of something, that I am in fact lying in my bed. It's a rather stressful experience if only a very short one. It also delays my sleep.

I used to get that all the time, though it hasn't happened for ages now. IIRC it is a function we developed to wake us up if we fell out of a tree. :book:
Sometimes my dreams go to extreme and absurd lengths to do verbal jokes and/or puns. It's irritating. Example: I thought I was having a sex dream. I'm in a motel on some sort of road trip with this cute girl and her parents. It's all supposed to be chaste. I'm lying in my separate bed, and the cute girl gets up and goes to the bathroom. I follow. We get all over each other.
Then the camera in my mind zooms out, and I'm thinking, No, no, go back in the bathroom, I want to see that part, but it keeps on moving back, out the door, into the rain, up to a medium-frame shot of the motel. I can't figure out what's going on. Then I see under the blinking "Motel" sign, where it should say No Vacancy or something like that, it says "Familiarity breeds consent."
I have never been so irritable and frustrated upon waking up before or since. Here I thought I was going to have a super-fun sex dream, and instead my subconscious wasted the whole thing on a pun. Grrrrrrrr.

I know what you mean. Just as I'm getting to the good part (the longest part of the dream is crap) I hear *beep beep beep beep*.
While I'm fairly positive I have REM sleep, and that my sub-concious is having a party every night. I'm rarely invited. For me sleep is almost always like being sedated. Blink, and hours have passed. Over my whole 28 years (of which I can clearly remember 25) I can remember dreaming less than 2 dozen times.

I only tend to remember my dreams whenever I'm using my alarm clock to wake myself up, since it tends to cut me off in the middle of them and I still have them in my mind. Haven't had any interesting ones for ages though, probably due to it being the summer holidays and my long lies.
One really creepy thing that happened before is when you think you have woken up, and then you realise you haven't. This has only happened once to me, and it was when I was having a dream about the ghosts of one of my grandparents haunting me for some reason. And then I thought I had woken up, and imagined I was looking at my wardrobe, when all of a sudden it started glowing really brightly and the door opened. For a full couple of seconds I was convinced that this was really happening, but then I woke up properly. Was one of the few times I was too creeped out to get back to sleep quickly. :sweatdrop:
Okay, I remeber mine from last night this time. I had woken up, gotten dressed, ate sme breakfast, normal morning routine. Then I was walking in the fog. I go a block or two, and I look right to see headlights. I get hit by a damn bus. And then I wake up, its 6:30, and my alarm is ringing. I get up to turn it off, right, but as soon as my feet touch the floor, everything is dark. I start to hear a rythmic whooshing sound, and soon I see a glint in the distance. It gets bigger and bigger, and then I see a giant pendulum hurtling towards me. It hits me before I can do it anything, but as it does, it disintigrates in flower petals. And then my alarm woke me up for real...
It was so vivid...

I had a Dream about being in a meadow. The grass was really really high, so I couldn't see anything.
I was whistling a tune, similar to the songs birds were singing. Suddenly it went quiet, my heart beat accelerate
And I see myself running toward a noise, the grass is rushing down into the floor, from far away leaving a track
but it gets closer and closer louder and louder. And then grass infront of me shreds to reveal a Combine Harvester driven by The Joker from Batman It goes dark as I'm shredded but I see the gore. I wake in a hospital
with my pieces stitched to together. And I'm tided up. A Doctor comes with a Syringe and puts it close to my eye and Pulls. My eyes are gone and I wake up.
That Haunted me for months. :embarassed:
Not a good dream at all....:no:
When I was a kid I used to have a dream that I was getting chased down the main street by a giant dog, that seemed about 10m tall, but no matter how fast I tried to run I just couldn't get my legs to move properly, then just as it was about to get me I would wake up and couldn't get back to sleep unless I slept with my parents or my teddy. It was a regular thing until I worked out that my teddy could scare off the monsters and then I slept with him every night, I would only get that dream if I forgot to get him or if I dropped him during the night.
Another common nightmare from my childhood would be dreaming that I was falling off a cliff and then just as I hit the ground, I would wake up on the floor having just fallen out of bed. I'm still not sure whether they were nightmares or not since I loved the thrill of falling through the air, and only experienced the terror of what was happening moments before I hit the ground.
Up until about the age of ten I would have, very rarely, a dream that I had gotten up to go to the loo and then wake because the bed was wet. They were very embarrassing dreams. That one actually resurfaced about a year ago, luckily I was able to recognise the signs of the long dark corridor and the tall white door, so I woke myself up and went to the real toilet.

Me too. Bunkbeds are dangerous for me
Anybody have recurring nightmares about crazy-big waves, you know, eighty-foot monsters coming in off the sea? Or is that just me?
One recurring dream I have -- it's not really pleasant, but neither would I classify it as a nightmare:
It involves me trying to bite down on a corner of an absolutely enormous cube-shaped chunk of hardened metal (roughly the size of a mountain) while floating in some sort of zero-g environment. Usually I'm trying to bite down on the cube's "bottom" corner while floating on my back. Sometimes I have family and/or friends who are watching me do this.
The dream always ends the same way: I'm biting down so hard that my teeth are about to break....but then either I wake up, or my subconscious switches to another dream. :dizzy2:
Here I thought I was going to have a super-fun sex dream, and instead my subconscious wasted the whole thing on a pun. Grrrrrrrr.
Hee. One could have a lot of fun quoting this out of context. :laugh4:

Sorry if this is semi-thread necromacy but I had an interesting dream last night...
Basically, it started out with me gunning down Nazi's in true Medal of Honour style. It was in the middle of a big field and it was more like a medieval pitched battle than trench warfare, running between the tanks etc. Then we got a message on the radio telling us we had won the war, and the Nazi's all retreated and we started firing our guns into the air celebrating. At this point, most of the Allied troops left but some of us, including myself, were ordered to stay behind in a couple of bomb shelters just to keep things under control and ensure there was no fightback. For a moment I switch to a birdseye view over the shelters and I could see the shadow of bombers flying over, but they never actually dropped any bombs. Then I switched back to first person, and one guy said wouldn't it be terrible if some Nazi's came across us now and fought us for whatever reason, or took us prisoner if there were a lot of them (since there were only a few of us Allies left). Then, next thing I know I wake up on a train and I realise we have been captured. However, when I see a couple of soldiers coming down the isle on the carriage, I realise they are in fact British troops. However, they then give us orders to put on our seatbelts (yes I know you don't wear seatbelts on trains but it doesn't have to make perfect sense), and then they called for the attention of the two 'historians'. At this point I knew something was up because I suddenly knew that me and the another person had been keeping records of what went on out in the field, and we had recorded some atrocities on the Allied side. And then the two British soldiers start talking, and they say something about just taking "one of them" (referring to us historians... well I realise we wouldn't really be working as historians recording the events of the time but that's how my brain imagined it), and so one of the soldiers takes the person next to me away with him. Then, next thing I know I wake up in the back of a car going down a busy road in a built up area, and then this incredibly hot woman, exactly my type (and no, its not one of those dreams) gets into the car, and she's got a gun. So, the car soon pulls into a really run down looking housing estate, and drops me and this woman off next to a shuttered-up shop with paramilitary grafitti all over it. Then the woman clearly becomes upset and talks about she has the blood of all these children on her hands (not literally), and although she didnt' say it, I knew it was because she had been involved with the military when they had used this paramilitary organisation as a loophole to send underage people to go and fight in the war. And then I knew she was going to execute me, so I just said is it going to be a shot to the head, quick and painless? And she said yes, and then she turned round to shoot me, but nothing happened, and she said she couldn't do it, and then I collapsed of hunger or exhaustion or whatever it was. However, she helped me pick myself up, and for some reason I said that she must shoot me. So, I closed my eyes and waited for the bullet to hit me. And suddenly it did, all I felt was a quite faint pain flicker through my head, and then nothing. Everything was black, and about a second later I thought something about if I had been shot, but then I think my head told me I was dead and I coudlnt' think anything. Anyway, a bit later I started to remember things about myself (my name etc) and I realised I was thinking and I wasn't dead, but which point I heard something moving (was my dad getting ready for work), and I woke up fully and realised I was dreaming.
It was a really unique dream for me, I think it's the first time I can ever remember having a dream in the first person, or having been killed in a dream. It was also incredibly coherent and looked realistic compared to my usual dreams. Although I usually just view myself in my dreams like a spectator, in this one I really felt everything that was going on around me, for example I now have an idea of what I would think like just before I would be executed. It was quite cool to have such a dream.
If you want an idea of how random and crappy my dreams usually are, when I went back to sleep I dreamed I was telling a seagull about strategies for playing as the Two Sicilies in Victoria, before I went off to sketch a map of Brazil while the seagull attacked my Grandmother. :shrug:
