Alarm clocks and dreams don't mix

[Reply #320 on:]

I had a dream that was essentially an episode of "Desperate Housewives."  Now before you jump to conclusions, it was probably because I watched it on Sunday.  Now before you jump to further conclusions, my partner pulled rank and decided what we were watching.  Now before you jump to any further conclusions, the show was pretty bad and I didn't enjoy it.

I remember once I had a dream where everyone on earth looked, talked, and acted exactly like me. This creeped the living hell out of me.

I'm supposed to be a real person, dammit! How can I do that, if I'm in your brain!

But how can we acknowledge you as a real person if you're not in our brains?

Last night I dreamed that Doctor Who Magazine printed a letter I wrote, but they got my address wrong.  And today, what should I receive but the latest issue of DWM!  There was even something in it that reminded me of the one time they did print a letter from me.

I had a dream the other day. Might even have been yesterday.

I was dead, killed by reading a newspaper that contained deadly words. So I was trying to tell other people not to read it, but I was dead, so they were all taking the newspaper, reading the deadly words, and dying. Then they could interact with me, and they were all like "why didn't you warn us about the newspaper words being deadly?"
Strange stuff.

I had this dream where I was in my Science class and the teacher said to get into groups of two. I looked around the room and saw the guy I had a crush on (I'm such a little girl  ).All of a sudden everyone,except me,my crush and this other kid I did not know had a partner.I went up to him when all of a sudden he points to me and yells:"You hate me!"
And that's when my alarm clock woke me up. I told my friends and they laughted at me.

I had a dream last night that I double-posted on PEEL.  After I did it, I realized I should have used the edit button, but decided I was too lazy to and let it be.  Then I was worried someone was going to yell at me, and the dream ended.

Needless to say, I'm surprised I remembered it, as I almost never remember dreams.

I had a dream where I was jettisoned outside of a spacecraft at a high speed, and the rest of the dream just followed my corpse around the universe...

I dreamed that I was watching Star Wars and when I woke up I was on the couch and I was watching Star Wars.

Then I dreamed that I was on the internet while riding in an elevator and all this porn popped up like and then my mom got on the elevator and she was all like "OMG YOU'RE SO BAD AND YOU CAN NEVER GO ON THE INTERNET AGAIN!"  And then she went on the computer and looked at the porn.  Yes.

I used to have all these dreams when I was a kid of being in a car falling off a bridge. And then, just as we'd hit the water, I'd wake up. Freaky stuff.

A few years ago I had this really weird/scary dream. I was standing across the road from this shop and I was with 3 of my friends. Then I noticed that there were all these people crowded around something outside the shop, so we walked across the road (which is a really busy road) and then when I got to the shop, only one of the friends was with me (don't ask me how the other 2 disappeared). We went to see what everyone was looking at, and there was a portable toilet (like the ones at construction sites) and there was a note sticky-taped to the door that said "CLOSED ON THURSDAYS" (it was a Wednesday when I woke up, so I don't see what that really had to do with anything) when suddenly, this middle-aged woman opens the door, throws me in there and locks it. Inside, there was just cobwebs (not even a toilet) and then I was banging on the door to get out, when my friend opened the door and then when I got out I asked him where the lady was and then we both looked up and saw her on the roof of the portable toilet and she looked like she was ready to pounce (sort of like a cat) and then she leapt off it. At that point, we were running for our lives and she was chasing us. She grabbed me, and then I realised it was a dream so I told him to punch me in the face so I'd wake up, but then he said "Then how will I wake up?" and he ran away. The lady threw me in this room and then I said "Please don't kill me, I'll do anything! Anything! I'll even help you catch my friend!" And then she pointed behind me and I saw my friend lying on the floor (either asleep or dead) and then I woke up.

EDIT: I have heaps of other weird dreams, some weirder than others, like the time my brother transformed into a monster because I killed a skeleton in a video game, or the time I was in the Simpsons' car and then they drove it into this pile of bones and we were eaten by skeletons (both of these were scary)....

Heres how this morning went for me:

7:00 - alarm clock beeps, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
7:09 - alarm clock beeps, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
7:18 - alarm clock beeps, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
7:27 - alarm clock beeps, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
7:36 - alarm clock beeps, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
7:45 - alarm clock beeps, I hit the snooze button and go back to sleep
7:54 - alarm clock beeps, I turn the alarm off, and go back to sleep
8:10 - Wake up, the fact that I have college finally sinks in, and I rush to get ready before the 8:30 bus
8:30 - Miss the bus

This happens to me all the time, at 2:00 AM I don't want to go to sleep even though I'm tired, and in the morning I don't want to get up even though I'm awake. Do I get more willpower as the day goes on or something?

I have the coolest dreams, but I can never remember them, in the most recent one I jetskied up a chinese river, then went into a floating restaurant, ordered some tuna then was shown a book full of half machine-half animal creations sketched in Da Vinci style.

EDIT: I also remember dreaming that Futurama came back, and watching an episode of it! (can't remember any details unfortunately) I was so pissed off when I woke up...

Last night I had a strange dream that I was in a flooded house and for some people were getting me to baptize them in what seemed to be the den

Yeah, I had a dream once that Jackie Chan was singing a song, and when I woke up I was listening to that song.  But not as sung by Jackie Chan.

Last night, I dreamed I was trying to catch a train but things kept slowing me down. First I forgot my suitcase. Then my friends tried to talk to me. Then I got lost and ended up in an ice rink. I decided it would be better to slide around on my ass than to try to stay upright, so I sat down and made my way across the room. Then Hitler showed up and started yelling at me. I didn't know what he was saying, because I don't speak dream-German.

Then my alarm clock went off. I hit the snooze button and instantly went back to sleep. I dreamed that a friend of mine (whom I haven't seen in months) called and said, "Guess what! Hitler just died!" I remember thinking, "Wow, weird, I just had a dream about the guy." Then my rainbow disco ball fell on my head (in real life, not dream life) and I woke up for real.

I had this dream where I was driving my truck on my normal route to school.  This time though the cab was full of all these gauges, lights, oscilloscopes, keypads and displays.

Part of my route involves a long, straight section of road that slopes down gently for about 6 miles and affords me good visibility the whole way.  I stopped at the top, flipped a few switches, put it in first, jumped it off the line pretty hard and started accelerating down the hill.

I'm not sure what all that gear was supposed to do, but it was sure as hell poised to do something.

I wrote down three dreams I had the other night. I could remember them so clearly in the morning, and they were really confusing. I'm not sure if they were the same dream, or three separate dreams, but I certainly cannot see any link.

In the first dream, I was walking on the way to school (which happened to be my old school) and in the back street I killed someone. I don't remember how, or who, except that it was a middle or so aged man. After school mum was driving me home and she was telling me how they found a body in this street. I acted like I hadn't heard. Nobody suspected me at all. Then when I was at home, which was a larger 4 or 5 story version of my actual house, the doorbell rang, and it was a bald courier. I was waiting for something, not sure what though. I thought my mum was going to answer the door, but instead she went into the study. And the courier left. I don't know if the courier had anything to do with the murder, but it was defaintly the same dream.

In the second dream, there was a wall of something coming towards us (us being me and a group of swimming friends/coaches). I have a feeling it may have been a wall of fish. We dug a hole in the ground so all the fish would go in there, and we were sitting in a room of some kind at the bottom of the hole. Later in the same dream everyone was dancing in bathers and at least one girl was naked, and we were told that one guy had to be naked. None of this nakedness or dancing was sexually suggestive at all. Then there was something to do with a toilet/bathroom. I have no idea what, except that again it wasn't sexual at all.

In the third dream, I went to the movies with a group of people. People I remember from the group are my dad and one of my friends from school. We went to the cinema but there was nothing we wanted to see/not good times for movies, so we didn't see anything. We went to the foodcourt, and I got something followed by fried rice. There was a free dispenser in the middle of the food court with different flavours of thickshake (chocolate, strawberry and something else), and I got a strawberry one. My school friend was drinking lots, possibly straight from the dispenser, and was feeling sick. At 8:30pm I went to Electronics Boutique because they were having a cd sale (EB doesn't actually sell cds), but it was closed just as I got there. There was another EB close by, but that was also closed.

And that was my interesting night. I need to start writing my dreams down more often.

I had a dream last night where I was out in public, and suddenly a friend started talking to me on my cell phone, but it was in my pocket and the speakerphone was on.  So, everyone could hear him, and he was saying something rude, or swearing or something.  I was mortified, and fumbled around to get my phone out of my pocket to turn the speakerphone off.  I think it stemmed from going out to eat with my parents yesterday, and last night's episode of Family Guy - the one where they visit Brian in L.A. and Peter swallows his cell phone.

Alex, your second dream is a prediction of the New York peelathon that will soon come to fruition.

Anyone ever found that a television on in the background while you're sleeping is very influential? Last weekend I was dreaming about Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer standing in front of me reciting meaningless trivia. Freaked me out until I woke up and realised there was a quiz show on, with some girl named 'Buffy' answering all the questions.

I had a dream last night that my alarm clock went off very loudly.

Then I missed the bus.

It pays off hey, I dunno about other people but I remember my dreams so vividly just after I wake up, but then later in the day I try to remember them and I can't recall the slightest detail....

I wish there was something that could record your dreams so you could watch them later on....like a vido camera inside your head....that'd be cool....

germanfryfan, I think you were in my dream last night. You looked just like your avatar, Bender part and all, and you were 2-D.

I've found exactly the same thing. I only remember them for about a minute after I wake up, and if I don't write it down, I can't remember a thing about it later. If I write it down though, I can remember exactly what happened in the dream, what I saw and how I felt.

Two days ago...

I was in a school assembly, but all the people there were people from my old school, even though it was definatly an assembly at my current school. We were all talking about them moving to the school. I spoke to one of them about their laptop being broken, and I told him to go to our old school to fix it. After some time I drove home, and there was this woman with short hair (who in real life actually came to our school for this acting thing) in my garage. I was jokingly threatening to kill her or something - she wasn't too happy. She asked me if their was a police station around somewhere, then disappeared through about a 1x7cm hole in the garage door.

And last night...

I was talking to a group of people about one of the people my dad works with going on a conference to the Gold Coast (my dad is involved in organising conferences for doctors), and this girl from school was there talking to my mum. I have written down a direct quote that the girl said - "It will take longer than a day". I have a feeling that for some reason mum was saying it will take a day, even though it was a five day conference. My mum was then going to get all her African patients as taxi drivers (she does a lot of things for African immigrants... though I'm not sure how this bit came up). Then mum and the girl were talking about a powerpoint presentation that mum had made politically correct enough for Adelaide Uni, where this girl was doing Medicine (she doesn't actually... but my sister does).

I actually had another dream last night.  It was a weird one, that's for sure.  I was on some sort of field trip type thing (even though I'm not in school right now).  We were at a hotel or a hostel, or something, in a vaugely familiar city (I think it was probably based off a nearby town).  I decided to go over to this community center type thing, where people my age would hang out.  I had to take a gondola (or something like that) over a ravine to get there. 

I hung out for a while, and then decided to leave with some people from my group, who had suddenly arrived.  We were waiting for the gondola, when I suddenly realized I forgot my bike.  I searched all over the community center for it, up and down the stairs, but I couldn't find it.  I thought maybe I left it in one of the elevators, but decided not to check.  I got back with my friends, and the line for the gondola hadn't moved. 

There was this entrance for what seemed to be an amusement park ride, where we could "see" the moon.  I wondered if it would be the "Whalers on the Moon" thing from "Ep. 2 TSHL".  By this time, though, I was growing impatient, and considered jumping the smaller part of the ravine, where there was a raging river hundreds of feet below.  There was a narrow part, about 4 feet wide nearby, but the more I looked at it, the wider it got. 

Suddenly, we were back in the hotel, and hung out for a while, until my dream abruptly ended (either a phone call or my alarm clock, I can't remember).  No word on what happened to my bike.

Last night, I had a dream that me and my sister were having a party at out house, and we lived on the 17th story of an apartment building. My sister got inside the window, to look out, and for some reason I was afraid she'd fall and I didn't want her to. So she's playing around, and then she stood up and jumped out. I cried, then went outside, and she was splattered on the walk. I cried some more. Then Yoko Ono shot me.

Second, I had another really disturbing nightmare about Ms. Ono. She was plotting to shot John Lennon, and I was there with her. The whole thing was extremely weird and surreal, and in the end, she did it and blamed her crime on that Mark Chapman guy. I didn't go back to sleep.

Last night in my dream, I accidentally killed someone. It was awful, I was feeling the guilt so bad and was genuinely shocked. Then people started finding out and I was just going along with them and pretending it was all a big shock and nobody knew how it happened. But it was a complete accident.

So watch your backs...

I had a dream I put someone else in a very small hole underground, filled it with water, and closed it. It was some kind of really weird torture, but I don't remember who the victim was.

I dreamed that I was walking down my road in the rain. There was a lot of traffic going past, and they were all honking at me. I looked down, and saw I wasn't wearing shoes. In fact, I was wearing only my dressing gown, and one sock. The right sock. My other sock was gone. This seemed profoundly disturbing at the time.

So I went home, back the way I'd come, only to find that my house wasn't there. Instead, there was a stone-walled garden. I went inside, and it was nice. Peaceful. Then, everything outside the garden disappeared, and the walls grew really high, then started to close in. I curled up into a ball on the ground, and just hoped that I wasn't going to be squished.

I don't know how long I was like that, but I woke up curled into a foetal shape around the foot of my computer chair, having apparantly crawled out of my bed.

Strange.

My alarm clock is my other halve, when he gets up I know.  If he has especially early meeting/s at work that day I ended up waking up as early as he does.  Usually that day I find myself more tired than usual, as I go to bed as late as usual.

it was crazy... something was happening in our solar system and we ended up orbiting jupiter.... civilisation as we knew it was coming to an end..
i ran home...i was so scared to see something so unstoppable happen...
and there was a nock on the door... i opened the door and 3 kids in trench coats were standing there... one of them grabbed out a sword, poked it through the security door and cut off my leg..
