i had a dream that pratt blew up and all my classes were canceled
last year i had a dream that scared me so bad i didn't want to go back to sleep ever because i was afraid that the dream would resume where i'd last left off before i forced myself awake. i think i've seen two tiktoks ever talking about how when you are in a dream you're not supposed to tell the people in your dream that they aren't real or that you know you're in a dream, and i agreed! i do not like taking risks like that. well. in this dream i had, i was with a bunch of people in a small dining area. i think i was celebrating something, but i can't remember -- such is the charm of having dreams i suppose. i don't remember the people who were there, but it was enough to be considered a small gathering for a party, the only person i do remember is that my partner was in this dream as well. the party dragged on for a very long time, people were chatting amongst themselves and all smiling and having a good time. i really wanted to leave because i was getting bored, but i also felt myself becoming more and more aware that i was in a dream, and it was making me uncomfortable. after trying to leave this dining room and house that i was in with no luck, i got frustrated and yelled to all of them, "i know none of you are real! im in a dream right now!" and immediately the chattering stopped and they all turned to look at me. their faces all with the same emotion of anger in the form of a firm frown. i got really scared, and somehow managed to exit the building, where i was then doing a bunch of parkour because there was no ground, only trusses and fire escapes. my partner was chasing after me, and constantly on my tail no matter how much progress i made. i was getting more and more scared and panicked as i felt them gain on me, so i made a deal for my life. i told them that they could have me forever in my dreams in exchange for letting me go, they agreed and then i woke up. i havent seen them since or had a reoccurring dream about it, but god was that scary!
I have a lot of dreams about being stalked, whether that is by my ex, by a person that is unidentified, or an entity that is not human nor animal. Sometimes the dreams are intense and sometimes they just linger but I am always being watched. They are occasionally frustrating when I can’t get the stalker to get away from me, but I wouldn’t qualify them as nightmares.
Two characters from House MD, House and Foreman, were in a car driving on a rural road surrounded by corn fields. In the distance, tall trees were visible. All of a sudden, the car warped into a different reality and the trees were now covered in a yellow dust. House asked “Foreman, what does too much pollen mean?” Foreman replied, “I don’t know, not many bees?” House responded, with a look of fear, “No… too many bees.” Then, a massive swarm of bees emerged from the trees like a black cloud and followed the car, causing House and Foreman to speed away from them.
It was the day of an exam, I had to wake up early (6am) to get to campus early so I could study until the exam at 8am. I decided around 6:45 to go grab coffee at the next store coffee shop. I got a black coffee and walked to my car in the parking garage. I start walking up the stairs but realize I’m not gaining any height. The sign kept on saying floor 1 every time. I decided to walk up the ramp thinking maybe that would do it but nothing. I started to panic and I looked at my watch (it was already 8:30am). Sitting in the parking garage I decided to email the professor (because somehow I’m still responsible in my dream) I tried to explain that I couldn’t make it due to car issues. I pressed send and it instantly came back with “message not sent - address does not exist). I sent it again multiple times but nothing just the same message popping up in my inbox. I eventually decided after trying a tens of times I should just go back home. I’m able to exit the parking garage and I realize that I’m not in Binghamton but somehow on the Upper West Side in Manhattan at night with no one around. I got really freaked out and tried to call anyone I could think of. Every call failed and I started to panic because I was in the middle of the city I would expect my phone to work. Dream ended after I tried to restart my phone to fix the issue. (Note: only dream I can remember and of course it was an anxiety dream. Sometimes that’s just how it is sometimes. I love being stressed 😄)
I may have told you about this one before but I had a dream where I met something, it wasn’t traumatizing but it was definitely strange for a number of reasons, mostly for the imagery and the sensory shit that happened:
I was in the woods on a hiking trail, it was dark and I couldn’t see the sky (earlier I had been with my sister, she had fallen and broken either her arm or leg badly enough for me to see the bone. This was an unimportant part of the dream, but it seemed to set a really ominous tone).
I was part of a search party for someone who had gone missing in the woods, I think it was someone I knew from high school. The rest of the search party were also people from high school, though I can only recall a couple specific names. A friend of mine was there too (for context, this specific person has been a reoccurring figure in my dreams since I was in elementary school, usually appears as a person my age, sometimes male sometimes female, but always pale with blonde hair). They seemed concerned for my well being. We were inside what I think was a park ranger’s cabin. It was small, less than 80 square feet, green metal with a wood burning stove to heat it. The walls were covered in maps and shelves, and everyone (4-7 people?) was huddled around the stove on stools arranging a grid search. I walked out, either to begin the search or get some air on the porch when I looked to see a figure coming out of the woods. He was blinding white like he was glowing, wearing a white suit and moved like he was walking under water. White smoke was peeling off from his face so I couldn’t make out features, but as he got closer the air around him buzzed like radiation, so strongly that I felt it in my gums (I don’t normally feel physical sensation in my dreams). He was laughing to someone or something around him and had an easy laugh that should’ve sounded friendly. I was hit with this wave of dread as the vibrating air hit me, which I think was strong enough to wake me up. I haven’t seen him sense but the effect he had on the dream was super out of the ordinary for me so it remains spooky.
I was with friends (I forget who just the general vibe) hiking through forests / plains / hills but everything was very vibrant colors, like the trees had very bright orange leaves and grass was super green and shit. Very chill and epic vibes. Also when I was a kid I had a dream where I got sucked into the moon and there was an endless spiral moon slide that I was stuck in forever.
I grind my teeth so hard at night I often dream of crushing my molars inside my mouth.
Last night I dreamt that my friend J was picked by the band Fall Out Boy to be their model/muse in music videos, and she invited me and everyone in the townhouse (M, S, X, K, and T) to their show at Radio City Music Hall. After the concert she invited us back to Fall Out Boy's big old mansion on a lake. M, K, and I were exploring the mansion and M pulled a book from a bookshelf and revealed a secret passage to the basement, but when we went down there to explore, M and K got trapped behind iron bars. I went to go look for a key to get them out and went to ask J for help, but she was too busy being famous with Fall Out Boy to help. So I found T and she helped me find the key to get them out. It was a really weird dream but I think I had it because right before I went to bed I watched the movie Sing Street, and in the movie, Conor has Raphina as the model/muse for his band. I also watched a John Oliver episode earlier that day where he was talking about Fall Out Boy and was hanging out with all my friends in the townhouse, so I guess my subconscious combined them.
My dreams are weird and sometimes forgettable. I remember I did have this one dream where I was driving in a flying car with my family or my friends inside. We were flying above the ocean until suddenly the car ran out of gas, we fell in the ocean, Underwater I thought everyone drowned but I saw that everyone is fine. I tried to take a deep breath and I realized I can breathe underwater and that's all I could remember that dream lmaoooo. I guess that's what I sort of wish is real are flying cars and be able to breath underwater lol.
I asked people to tell me about their dreams, whether it be the dream they had the previous night, a dream that traumatized them as a child, a dream they wished was real, or anything else they found memorable.
