Dreams and Nightmares

I'm always trying to hide in my dreams, and I will often climb to someplace very high up to get away from the action in my dreams.

This is very odd because I'm afraid of heights IRL.
 
:nod: Very scary.

Sometimes when I have a creepy dream like that I try to imagine an ending for it.
 
I keep on having dreams that I'm back in South Africa, at the monkey sanctuary I usually work at. They're either that I'm just arriving back... or I'm with Jasmine and Jinx, her son, two of my favourites.

They are kind of nice dreams, because it's great to see them again - even if it is just in a dream - but, awful as well, because it's going to be at least 6 months before I will be back there.
 
Maybe your subconscious is telling you that you need to kiss a few toads before you find your prince. :)
 
Some books have really weird ideas in them so I'm not sure how reliable most of them are.

Dream sybols make sense sometimes if you just think about how the subconscious works. Teeth are powerful in a primal way (think of how wild animals hunt).
 
I had this vivid dream about a beautiful girl who turned out to be the devil. I ended using what happened to me in the dream to write a very short story.

You always hide behind your beauty. Using it as a veil to hide the void deep within you. Behind those beautiful blue-green eyes hides the devil, forever tempting me. Your smile conveys a sweet innocence unknown to even you. You move among us sad mortals giving us hope. Hope of something beautiful in this world built on apathy. You bring a hope for real emotion, one I never felt until you showed yourself to me. It’s so deep, a longing that brings physical pain. It tears at me, slowly yet steadily. I feel your sweet feather touch shredding me. With those soft eyes you have burnt me. You Part that cute smile to show your forked tongue. How can you show someone such love then rip it away. Do you know love? Have you tasted it? I think it impossible. All I think and breathe is you now. Yet you just can’t hide that devil tail. You’re my temptation, I am damned if I do and damned if I don’t.

To hold your soft hand and kiss your crimson dark lips, I‘d walk on broken glass. To feel your caress again, bringing life back into my soulless body, I would do anything. Your kiss could bring music to a deaf man. Light the room for the blind. You showed me all this then took it away. And I have done nothing but worship you. I stood there with my heart in my hand. The blood flowed like melted chocolate, bleeding and beating for you. Yet you turned your back to me and walked away. No remorse, forsaken me, extinguishing my soul. To never see you again, the pain would be so unbearable. How could I continue to live? Knowing your love then losing it for eternity? Is this what you wanted all along? To pull me in too deep to swim then forever disappear. You left me to drown in a pool of misery. There is no recovery now. No options. Only release. Surrender. I hope that when they find me it stirs some emotion in you. Some sign of life. For all that I had is gone.
 
:lmao:

I have weird dreams too!! I often write them down, just to make sure I don't forget them. Here's one of my favorites:

I was backpacking in Italy with Stifler (yes, from American Pie) and some random dude. We found a kind of hostel, but to be allowed to stay there, we had to be initiated or something. And the initiation was to be naked for a whole day. At first, I didn't want to do it, but the guys convinced me and I took of my shirt (but nothing else!) and I covered myself with my arms. Stifler didn't want to take off his shirt because he was saying he had too much chest hair! I told him that I liked men with chest hair and we started hugging. Then, we went to our rooms but to reach them, we went through a huge library and a living room where everyone was naked!!! :lol: We stayed in a tight hug and we had a hard time going up the stairs because of that. But finally, we made it to the top and there, we met a girl, she was fully dressed, and she gave us a jar full of olives.

:D
 
^That is such a weird dream :goof:
That part about the Mona Lisa was just :lol:

I see crime shows in my sleep, most of the time with actor plaing parts :lol: sometimes Im the murderer, sometimes Im the person that solves the crime and sometimes Im a hostage, like one time I dreamt that suddenly time stopped in a store and these people came to take me (who was the only one still walking around) hostage cause they wanted to overthrow the government :lol: and the guy in charge was Robert Pattinson :D
 
Sounds like an interesting guy. :nod: There are so many possiblities out there that most people could never imagine.

I suspect that my nightmares are largely due to a lot of real-world stress, and that they are part of the subconsious's way of working things through.

But I have also had dreams that have come true--the sort of things that you might see in the news headlines, and that's scary stuff.
 
What a great dream. :nod:

Oddly enough I recently had a dream about curling up to sleep with a protective green and gold dragon. :goof:
 
I'm not sure if this is what I've been having for years, but it sounds a lot like it.

I had these dreams where I could not wake up, I was stuck and I couldn't move..and there were other times where I just couldn't wake up. One time I remember it very well. In my dream I was laying there repeating 'wake up, wake up' over and over...by the time I woke up I was exhausted to the point where I couldn't get out of my bed. My eyes rolled back and I went back into it and it continued 5 times (waking up and then going back into it) before I woke up for good and literally forced myself to the floor so I couldn't fall back into it. I ended up sobbing and thinking I wasn't really awake for an hour after I woke up. It was awful.

I still have these dreams (a lot of the times they happen when I'm sleeping on my back) I can control them better now though.
 
:hug: That's an awful feeling. Sometimes I have nightmares about my ex-boyfriend, and that leaves me feeling ill as well.
 
I had a really weird dream back in December that I wrote down. It's kinda long because I remembered a lot of details, so bear with me. :lol:
 
I had a nightmare that involved me and a popular series that I seriously loathe. :blank:
 
I was dreaming that I was climbing the rocks at Joshua Tree.

I went there when I was a kid so I guess I must have been remembering in my dream...but the strange thing is that the sky in my dream was candy pink.
