OK, this morning I had the wierdest dream I've had in a while.  My brother is in the car with me, and we're wanted because we're "Bulletholes."  In my dream bulletholes was slang for drug dealer.  I have no idea why we were drug dealers but we were.  We're on the run, when all the cops on the road get distracted by an explosion at the airport behind us. 

We make a break for it, and the next thing we know, There's this crazy looking guy walking behind us.  We get up to a building surrounded by a chin link fence, there's the sherrif, and he has his head.  Through the chain-link fence.  He says to us.

"We have the mad bomber's name.  His name is Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob..."

He keeps saying bob until the mad bomber (Bob) comes from behind him and snaps his neck through the chain-link fence.  I jump the fence and killed the killer (It was very bloody).  The last thing I remember thinking in the dream was why he kept repeating the killers name.  Then I woke up to my alarm clock.

"bob bo bob bob"

I turn over the rest of the post to stories about alarm clocks, possibly dreams too.

my alarm clock is across the room so that i have to get up to turn it off. when the clock was next to the bed, i'd just slap at it half asleep still and break it and go back to sleep.

I have developed a method of getting up, walking across the room, turning off my alarm clock and getting back into bed without waking up.
Don't laugh. it's not funny if i can never get up on time.

Sounds like Pitt was dreaming about sex.

I hate alarm clocks, they keepo me from sleeping.  Even worse for me is the fact that my kids wake me up before my alarm clock can (friggin' morning people).

I know we had a wierd dream thread, but as it is nearing its twentieth page I've decided to start posting in a cheap floozie thread on the side.

I had a dream last week that Clark was still alive.  Needless to say, when I woke up I needed two Zolofts.

My alarm clock is also a CD player, I can wake up to a certain track. "Under Pressure" by Queen is currently playing every morning to wake me up  :)

There's a new duvet cover thing that's going to replace shitty alarm clocks, it's full of light emitting stuff (I'm not sure how it works exactly) but all your bed covers gradually light up and wake you up slowly and peacefully.
It's water proof (for washin') and you can set it to wake you up (obviously).

I saw it on British TV a few months ago, on an inventions show, so it could be out soon.  :)

My mom has a clock like that.  Unfortunately she wakes up to Nsync or Backstreet Boys or some crap like that.  When she first got the clock, she mis-set it, and it managed to irritate me awake from half a house away.

I am usually confused when the alarm clock goes off. Once i took the light bulb out of my lamp (right next to my bed), put it in my closet and broke some part of the lamp itself, for some reason...i thought that the lamp was making the noise and i wanted to stop it.

And sometimes i try to answer my alarm clock. (maybe because my alarm clock is a Nokia cellphone)

I know one time on a Saturday morning my alarm clock woke me up at 6:00 am because I forgot to turn it off, but I just saved the world and all the hottest            s in the wotld were drawing closer to me but my alarm clock woke me up. Amazingly I continued the dream when I fell asleep again, but it would be inapropriate to mention the last part.
Also my alarm clock could wake up half the neigborhood with full volume so I keep it at about two tenths of the volume.

unless i'm really tired, i always seem to wake up about 10 minutes to half an hour before my alarm clock goes off...and probably my best dream I ever had in the world was cut off due to the sun waking me up...that really pissed me off.

I know I already posted this, But my brother had to go and post in the thread b4 anyone could see it.

Ok.
First I dreampt I was biking home real fast and didnt turn and hit a curb then flew 5o ft in the air,hit a statue and for some reason landed in a house thing. There was no light then i found a door,to another room,then another. there was a lock on it.There was a fire,and it was hot. For some reason i spat at it and got shocked  I thought i was oging to die. then my friends pulled me out some how. Then we were biking home and this lady looked at us then a cop pulled us over and arrested us, saying we were drunk  then he payed himself off and i woke up.  (GODDAMN AUTOLOGIN! This is NibblerJr. I HATE THAT AUTOLOGIN SOMETIMES!)

Solidarity, brother!

The same thing happens to me, so I have to have a system of 2 alarm clocks. Let's say I have to get up at 6:30. I set one alarm, a really loud one, right next to my head to go off at 6:20. The second one is set for 6:25, it's quieter and across the room, so it's more of a gentle reminder of "You just woke up five minutes ago, now get out of bed."

Oddly enough, I've gotten so used to it, I just wake up at 6:30 and realize I've already turned my alarms off. I guess my brain goes "just five more minutes, I promise" every morning.

the worst thing you can do is think you are smarter than time and set your clocks forward by 10 minutes... boy does that fsck you up. and eventually you get used to the fact that you still have 10 minutes before real time catches up.... and even when you look at the real time... you think you have 10 minutes.

I employ both tricks, setting the time ahead 10 minutes and putting the alarm clock across the room.  Like Kip said, you adapt to the time being set ahead pretty quickly.  I get up, walk across the room and hit the snooze button.  The only things that save me are the annoyingly loud alarm I can't ignore and the discipline to only hit the snooze once.

I once made a "cage" with erector set type stings, and put the alarm clock in it. I had to wake up sufficiently to take it apart to deactivate the alarm clock sitting in it.

Then I realized the smart answer was to get a little more sleep.

I tried doing that, however i managed to condition myself to taking apart the cage turning of the alarm and getting back into bed without waking up.

I use the alarm on my radio which is the other side of the room so when it goes off I have to get up... I rarely set it unless I HAVE to get up though.

I used to have a hellishly annoying alarm clock. One time, my mom set the bird call wake-up-sound up really high, so I woke up to really loud bird calls and got really scared.

Nobody has ever found that alarm clock...

I have wierd dreams all the time....I usually remember them and write them down if I wanna go through them later when I'm more awake....I just wish there was a way of recording dreams as you have them so you could watch them later like on tv or something....
Come on technology catch up damn you....!

And if it's any consolation, for you people who get woken up by alarm clocks just as your dream is reaching the "climax" (heh-heh) aparently your most vivid/detailed dreams occur in the hour before you wake up, after say 6-7 hours of sleep....So set your alarms for an hour later and you'll be fine....*guaranteed*

Yeah, my alarm clock always wakes me up when my dreams reach their interesting point, then once I have a shower and become alert I forget what it was about in the first place, thus my rare postings in the Dream threads.

My alarm clock is set across the room and is hellishly loud. I however can hit snooze and fall instantly back to sleep for the next 9 minutes indefinately. It feels like I just slept the whole time. Although this might have something to do with my hellishly early morning starts.

In the past I've put my hellishly loud alarm clock in a locked briefcase.  In order to shut it up I had to work out how to enter the combination, which takes more power than my sleeping brain can come up with.  Once my brain comes up to a high enough power output to figure that puzzle out it usually will catch.

Haven't had to do that yet this semester, but it's probably coming.

My mobile phone is my alarm, and is hellishly loud.

Last night/this morning's dream involved some bizarre gameshow (specifics I cannot remember), I was only watching a preliminary round, so I never got to see who made it to the final.

I had a dream about a ghost train last night and it was pretty scary and eerie. Its not the first time I've dreamt about one either. I had a dream that involved one about a week ago too. And normal trains and different kinds of transport kept popping up in my dreams for a while too. Now its mostly trains. Normal and ghost  :hmpf:

Did any of the trains enter any tunnels (heehee)?

Me bad...

Scariest dream ever was when a black panther got loose from a travelling circus, and was then inside my house. Just when I dreamed it was pouncing on me, an LP hanging above the bed fell on my head. Yikes!  :(

Best dream ever was that I was Sean Connery (as Bond), and there was a female double agent, and.... you can likely guess the rest.  :D

I don't need an alarm clock. When ever I set it 90% of the time I wake up a couple minutes before it goes off. The strange thing is I have no concept of time when I am awake...

The other 10 percent I usually wake up 1 hour past the time it goes off with the clock  mysteriously turned off.
