Does anybody else have that nightmare where...

[hauntmaster]

Whoo! I have lots of bad nightmares myself! Some nightmares are in real life, some are from the movies!

What is everyone's take on that whole "if you die in a dream, you die in real life" dealie-o?

I personally think it's bologna. Can't count the number of times I've died in my dreams... or the number of ways I've died in my dreams.

I haven't had reoccuring dreams since I was a kid. I used to dream that there was a basement window underneath my covers at the foot of my bed. I'd climb down into the window and find myself in some sleezy little room in some bad part of Tiajuana (I'd been there 10 times before I was 9 years old - My parents were hippies). I'd be in this little 10'x10' room and couldn't get back up to the window to get out.
On the opposite side of the roon was a doorway to a hall to which I could not see the end. I always heard a bull charging down the hall after me. he was going to break through the gate and into my little room and as much as I tried, I couldn't get back out throught the window, back to my bed

I can't remember just when I stopped having that dream but, now whenever I have nightmares, it's always about aliens taking over the planet.......... and I mean the UFO kind.

Ever see 'Communion' or 'Fire In the Sky'?
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now THAT stuff is the scariest stuff I'VE ever seen!!!!

I have the bad Halloween dream ALL THE TIME!!! I have the dream where it's Halloween and I can't find a good costume. And I end up having a crappy costume. Happens all the time. It's funny how I think I am the only one thinks about Halloween every day, has dreams all the time where it's Halloween and I'm not prepared, makes plans for Halloween in the winter and other weird things and I go on here and it turns out that there are a million people just like me!!

I had a lot of wierd dreams in my life, but the following two are IMHO the wierdest.

The first one when I was in 5th grad, and I was learning how to play the trombone. I was struggling with the sond "Goe an Old Mule," and Out of frustration I gave up and went to bed. I dreampt that Count Dracula (the character based on Bela Lugosi) came to use our telephone because his car broke down. As it turned out, the Count was a virtuoso trombone player. We wend down the basement, and he played "Swan Lake," which incidently is also the opening to the original 30s vintage "Dracula" movie, and then he played "Got an Old Mule." The next morning I got the trombone out and played the song flawlessly. I did just as good at my lesson the following Wednesday, and when the band master asked me how Ilearned to play that song so well, I told him that Count Dracula helped me out.

The second dream happened when I was an adult, about a week or so after my father died. I was watching the sun rise in the east, and my father and sister were watching two suns set in the west. We got into a heated argument because I totaly refused to acknowledge that there were two suns setting in the west, and was only interest in the one sun rising in the east. My father and older sister were insensed and angry because they refused to see the one sun rising in the east, and only would look at tht two that were setting in the west.

wasting all that time in zombie-check out; meaning Costco, for an apple and a yogurt!?

Love the sketh by the way.

I haven't had a dream like that... but I did have one with a creepy ghost girl in it. I wrote the dream down and sketched the girl from the dream.

08:01 am - Dream: White-Haired Ghost Girl
I will admit that to anyone else my dream last night probably would have been a nightmare.

The dream actually starts out in some fictional Costco, where I was picking up a few groceries (not in bulk-- an apple and a couple yogurts)... and I'd forgotten my card-- technically I never had one and I couldn't have gotten into the store nor have been buying what I was buying, but it WAS a dream.

When I realized I couldn't buy the items, I ditched them near the front of the store and acted like I needed to use the restroom. I went into the restroom, which then "changed" (as dreams often do) into a large sized hotel room.

Assuming the back of the room is north and the door is on the eastern most corner of the south wall... the bed was on the north wall, the bathroom in the southwest corner. There was a vanity, sink, and closet area in the northwest corner of the room. In the room-- next to the east bathroom wall, there was a arm chair/reading chair with a couple pillows on it and what at first glance would appear to be a child sized doll with chin length white hair and bangs wearing a dress.

It wasn't 'till she began to move I got the "prickly things on the back of my neck" in the dream, but I didn't run away even though you could tell it was the child's goal to scare me. I started talking to her. I asked her what she wanted and why she was trying to scare me.

She wouldn't tell me exactly what was going on or why she was afraid. She just wanted me to leave so I wouldn't get hurt. She was trapped and didn't want me to get hurt.

I wish I could say there was more to this dream than that, but about then, my alarm clock went off and I had to get up for work.

... not one of my scarier dreams... but the ghost girl was freaky.
