1. I have dreams that would be blockbuster movies
if I could get it all down in the morning. Complete character development, plots, music. They are like nothing I have ever seen or read about. It's disturbing to go to sleep at night but I enjoy it still. Its all very real.

3. music, huh?


No music in mine, but many of my dreams would make for some pretty interesting viewing. I even get shot and stabbed in some of mine.

12. I only remember having a dream like that once.
With such an involved plot that it could be a movie. If I described it in detail, it would be unreadably long, but I was a wanderer crossing a wasteland where nothing could grow on the surface, and I found a city where everyone lived underground, and the structure of their city was made by what had once been a jungle gym for giants, and they had buried it deep enough where the soil wasn't contaminated. But the society there was divided into two levels, and the "common people" lived on one level made of wood, and the other half lived on a level with marble halls and hanging gardens and crap. And who the leader was was determined by who had a certain mark on their forehead, and there was something with a spell on it which would put the mark on the forehead of whoever found it. And in the dream, I went with a boy and his sister to try to find it.

2. I only have one...
but it's a doozy scary one.

About a year after my dad died, I saw Night of the Living Dead for the first time. I dream that I'm one of the people trapped in the farmhouse, and the zombies are outside.

I guess I'm Barbara. The zombies break in the door, and I see my dad in them...calling "Daddy! Daddy! It's daddy!"

Then, he leans down, rips a chunk out of my neck, and I wake up screaming.

4. I get chased a lot by tornadoes, the mafia, get lost in houses
that have dozens of rooms and no exit, get chased by trains that are engineered by the monopoly man, mr. moneybags, and these dreams recur on a regular basis.

5. When I was little...
I used to have recurring dreams about a chalk-white statue lady coming after me. In the dreams, she would always try to come into my room at night...I don't know why, but I do remember being scared of her because I knew, somehow, that she wanted to hurt me or kidnap me or something. :scared:

Now, I have a different recurring dream sometimes. It's not always the same, but some of the elements are - it always involves the crew of the Challenger on their last mission (which happened the day I was born), and I'm always involved with them somehow. Sometimes I'm in the shuttle with them, sometimes I'm on the ground working in the mission control room, but I always know what's going to happen, and I can never stop it. Oddly enough, though, in my dreams I'm never scared - especially not when I'm in the shuttle with them. I guess sharing their fate makes it easier to accept, or something. :shrug: Anyway, I don't usually remember the dream immediately upon waking...but it seems like every time I have the Challenger dream, my day does not go well - something bad will happen, and then I'll remember the dream, like it was a warning or something. It's pretty weird. :shrug:

8. No, but I used to date a guy who was majoring in aerospace engineering...
...and being born on the day of the Challenger explosion, I grew up hearing about faulty O-rings. Other than that, though, no connections or experience or anything. :shrug:

7. Kind of
The dream is not exactly the same but it contains the same scenario, namely my family and I inhabiting a really scary, fucked up haunted house.

9. I always dream in color
I read somewhere that everyone dreams in color, but that most people just forget about it when they wake up. It makes sense, because how many people see in black and white?

10. I have this recurring nightmare where some crazy monkey boy is running
our Country, starting illegal wars by using lies and propaganda, destroying the Constitution...

Oh wait... that's not a dream, is it? Someone pinch me please?

13. Yes, three of them. Wait, only two now, because I found the place where I was
Edited on Sat May-05-07 11:10 PM by Redstone
in one of them (Peacham, Vermont). Mrs R thought I was going nuts when I slammed on the brakes as said "THIS IS THE PLACE! THAT'S THE HOUSE!" (I had never been to Peacham before in my life.)

She predicted that I'd never have that dream again, and I haven't.

And actually, I guess it's only ONE dream, because the other is a memory that comes back in my sleep.
