Title: Dream Diary - Post About Your Dreams Here
Post by: Joseph41 on July 29, 2017, 06:42:29 pm
I used to keep a dream diary. Very interesting reading; there are heaps of dreams I remember now that otherwise I would have lost entirely.

I think about them often.

Use this thread to post about your dreams. I'll be using it regularly.

How graphic can I get? I dream prolifically every night and probably a solid 50% of my dreaming is nightmarish. ::)

Calebark dared me to post this weird dream I had a while back - I admittedly can't remember every detail though, so it's not so amusing.

So like, it had something to do with bulls actually being sentient creatures that could talk?
And if that wasn't weird enough, one of my classmates fell in love with a bull. And they ran away and got married because people disapproved of their relationship?? Although, even though they ran away, I somehow still went to their wedding.

So strange

Did they get bullied?

You know it's a great pun when Heidi downvotes <3

Yes, I guess you could say they got bullied. They got kicked out of the place where the reception was because the owner didn't like bulls and had called the federal police, so we had to run away.

Strange thing is, I can't remember who it was that married the bull, all I can remember is that I was friends with them

Reminds me of a dream I had a few weeks ago- in this dream I "woke up" and discovered that I was a gummy bear... standing on a tennis racket, surfing on some river made up of chemistry textbooks. Needless to say, I was very confused when I woke up. :P

Oh boy this is going to be fun. Be warned - super weird, high school PTSD is about to follow. I should also stress that I'm very happy with where I ended up post-VCE, so not sure why I keep having this dream (or rather, series).

Anyway, in my first year of uni, I started having this dream. It was really weird, but would happen every few weeks, where I was back in high school. But I wasn't completely in high school - instead, I was also attending uni, but was repeating some subjects. All my mates were still with me, all in the same year, but I was the only weird one. Even weirder - this dream world seemed to move in real time, and it was almost as if the only times I attended school were the ones in which I dreamed I was there. So, if on Monday night I dreamed I was at school, dreamed about bunnies and rainbows on the next three days, and then on Friday night dreamed I was at school again, everyone would act as if I'd been gone for three days at uni.

Anyway, I actually remembered the past three years of my life, and it was almost as if I'd gone back in time. So, I used this opportunity to do even better and get a higher ATAR. I was super secretive about everything, though - my friends didn't actually know I was doing uni at the same time, just thought I had lots of sick days.

Then, I entered by second year of uni, and in my dreams I started year 11. Then, in my third year of uni, I started year 12. SUPER weird. This was also the year that the teachers spilled I was doing uni at the same time, which was also why I didn't do SACs or exams - I could actually stop VCE at any point I wanted, this was just a way of re-applying for scholarships for me. Think Billy Maddison style - I didn't need grades, just completion.

So anyway, then comes honours. I think I'm finally free of these dreams - I dreaded reliving my first year of uni, but figured there was no way my dreams would do that while I'm still there.

They didn't - instead, I was in grade 2, with all of my friends, but I remembered EVERYTHING. I told my best mate it was a conspiracy, and to prove it to him, I pulled my CAS out of my bag and showed him my futuristic technology and told him that it proved I was from the future. Being 7, he completely agreed with me, and then insisted we go play Pokemon outside. Apparently I forgot how 7 year olds thought, so I got super confused by his behaviour (first that he actually believed me, second that he didn't want to do anything about it), and then woke up.

Still waiting for the sequel from this one, it's taking a while...

Talking about school dreams, I recently had a dream where myself and a fair few other people from my year 12 cohort (funnily enough, it was all the high achievers) had to redo year 12? So there we were, sitting with the year 12 jackets of 2017 on, back in uniform, all with a puzzled look on our face.
There's nothing more terrifying in a dream than to find yourself back in your French classroom :-X

Last night I dreamt that I hosted a party with all of the AN NSW members. But when they got to my house, all of the walls started to go mouldy, and slightly damp towels starting falling from the sky.

Nobody had a good time.

I'm sorry.

EDIT: You know that this was a dream just from the "I hosted a party" bit.

Giggled.

Just once, I'll share nightmares here.  This was last night's delightful and memorable collection!

Spoiler
1.  Was at church with church members and Joseph41 and Brenden (and I think Kate?), and enemy planes started dropping little bombs round the area (like, each bomb destroyed about a square metre of ground).  We were panicking, trying to anticipate where they'd drop the next bomb and jump out of the way at just the right times.  Joseph41 was hit first.  Bye bye, Nick.

2.  I was hosting a party of old school acquaintances*, who were all covered in self-harm scars and scratches and bruises.  I was really distressed - this had happened in dreams before, but this time it was actually real life! ::)  They were kind enough to assure me that it was my fault.

3.  I was repeating VCE, but sneakily and skilfully skipping all my classes so that my teachers never noticed.  The exams were coming up and I hadn't opened my methods book once the entire year; I knew I was going to do terribly compared with the year before and disappoint everyone.  Halfway through the (outdoor on the grass) Texts and Traditions exam, luckily, I realised I'd already done the exam the year before, so I didn't need to try again, so I tore up my paper, walked out and refused to do any other exams. 8)

4.  A positive dream.  Of course, I don't remember anything about it. ::)

graphic/triggering
5.  Rape.

6.  My older sister showed me the soles of her feet, covered in deep cuts she'd made, and she couldn't walk with the pain.  I tried to tell her not to, but then she started again, slashing and slashing, while I cried and begged.  And then she did the final stroke, and there was blood everywhere, and I couldn't move or speak, and she was saying, "Heidi, I'm dying, please help me, please, call someone, do something", and I couldn't do anything.  She bled to death on the floor.  I remember calling Mum to let her know that Bec was dead.

Couldn't take more, so didn't sleep the rest of the night. \o/

* As with Joseph41, this proves it was a dream. ;)

Perhaps one of the most vivid dreams (potentially more of a nightmare) I've ever had happened the night before my Revs exam in 2015.

I dreamt that in the exam, we had to draw the life story of Jung Chang, a historian who is noted for being very critical of Mao. So there I was, opening the exam, expecting to be doing two 3 or 4 pointers and a doc study for China, and a doc study and essay for Russia. The Russian section of the exam basically ceased to exist, and it was something like a 60 page exam, full of questions and boxes for drawing Jung Chang's life story, and then as I was flicking further along the exam with about 5 minutes to go, I finally got to some of the styles of questions I was expecting. But it was just impossible to achieve anything in the exam, because there was too much to do with only a few minutes left.

Horrible. But also kinda funny :P
I kinda figure it's like the dreams you get before say, an important sporting game. The night before every single grand final I've played in, I've always dreamt that when I tried to run, my legs got all tangled and I couldn't go any faster than walking pace ::)

Just woke up here: dreamt about having a stomach ache and getting chased by a t-rex in jurassic park. Went into a stall in the middle of nowhere, went inside only to discover there wasn't any toilet paper. Toilet stall somehow changed into my aunt's dressing room; finally woke up to hear my sister saying there wasn't any toilet paper in the bathroom next to my room. Weird.

Extract from one of my friend's dream:

Future Spesh teacher: "And the best subject is love"
(Honestly we didn't even know our school would offer spesh seeing we didn't even offer 1/2 subjcets in year 10)

One of my dreams:
I start off in some 7/11 in the city trying to make coffee (I'm a tea person). I had trouble operating the weird machine (It was like a hole in the hole that dripped out coffee) so my friend came to help me. Then he left with another friend and I went to wards the trainstation via the tracks...? It was very odd, on either side of the traintracks were a series of pipes as if i was in some mega refinery. Then my Spesh teacher appeared behind a barbed fence on the side of tracks. She was trying to put on a "high voltage suit". I continued walking and my Methods teacher did the same thing. After walking for a big, there was this spaceship terminal thingy connect to the complex system of pipes? And a weird gravity defying steam punk like spaceship docked. Then I changed POV to a frog belong to a Jedi (unamed Jedi). The Jedi  (My mast i think) was asked to slide down a tube, and they did. However, they were attacked and frozen by some droid (no, not star wars droid, one of the home use droid made in Japan i think). Then the Jedi was placed infront of a screen showing nice and pretty pictures that seemed to clam them down while the droids "sucked life out of them". I tried to resuce my master with my loooooong tongue but she/he died. And then, a young Padawan was subject to the same treatment. He was a Korean boy and he was shown pictures of Samsung taking over the world. I somehow saved him, ran out of the facility which turned out to be my house. I ran behind a neighbour's bin with the Padawan on my back. Then i tried to think of a plan to escape a nuclear bomb.. (I somhow knew one was getting dropped on us.....)

Then the voice of my mother woke me up and I realised I was gona be late.. for SPESH IN THE MORNING!

For some reason, I was with a group of people, and I had the brilliant idea to start a band. Fantastic! We all go home to get our instruments and go back to meet. Once I arrive home, it hits me; I don't play an instrument! So I order a violin off e-bay, and once it arrives (a few moments later), I frantically watch YouTube videos to learn violin while walking to where we agreed to play

Our band was named Rainbow (that's a real band, lol. I was listening to them before I slept, so that's probably where it's from)

They say that you can't read in dreams, but I specifically remember reading the word "massacre" on a sheet of paper in a dream where I was in Legal Studies.

Yeah, I've been told that you can't read or check the time in dreams.  Since I have real issues detecting that I'm dreaming (e.g I'll be like "this has happened before in dreams, but wow, this time it's actually happening!", or I'll pinch myself to check if it's a dream, in other words I do a verification check during a dream and come up with "yup, this is reality").

Someone told me to check my watch to see if I was dreaming or awake.  I promptly started checking my watch in dreams as well as when awake, and came back with, "yep, this is real". ::)

i always dream of getting results back, particularly the ones i'm dreading. the dreams are always the same - i get a really bad mark, but it's never out of the same total as the actual exam. my dream llast night had me receiving my marks for my creative (usually out of 15) but it was a 12/20, and a 9 for another part of the exam. i have no idea what these dreams are supposed to mean, because the actual results are either better or worse, but i'm really really really really dreading getting english back tomorrow, because i know i didn't study as much as i could've, and the exams were absolutely terrible.

Also, I recall something about escaping people plotting world dominion but I think that was another dream.

Last night I dreamt I was eating chunks of raw chicken, to check if they had gone bad.  Someone later confirmed they were off, but I couldn't tell as I wasn't used to the taste of raw chook, so I obviously had to keep eating more! ???

Had a really weird dream Tuesday night. First some context, my mum and I had been completely ignoring each other all weekend (I have no ideas why).

So I dreamt that I was at school. For some reason I thought it was Friday, but I had the classes that I have on Wednesday. On Wednesday's I have Private Study, Fish, PS, PS. So one class. I dreamt that it was the end of second period, and for some reason I thought fish was third period, so I hadn't gone.  ??? Then I was thinking that I really wanted to go. And for some reason I thought it was Friday. And then because I didn't go, I basically had had private study the whole day. And then I would have the weekend and because my mum and I were ignoring each other, I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone the whole weekend. And then my alarm went off.

It was one of those weird dreams where I woke in a cold sweat, but it didn't really feel like a nightmare. I dunno. Also there's this thing were if i sleep on my side too much my back muscles start spasming (sort of feels like cramps, but not very painful). So I woke up, very confused. I was sure it was real and when I woke up I was kinda like huh? wasn't I just at school? I remember in the dream, thinking I was awake, it was very strange.

Edit: The fish class on actual Wednesday was a lot of fun ;D we had been doing a project on Carp and some people wrote a (supposedly kids) storybook about the release of the Carp virus....it was very morbid. Our teacher brought cookies!

Have you tried falling asleep with an oil diffuser + an essential oil you enjoy? I've found that if I fall asleep smelling something pleasant or something I associate with good memories, I'm far less likely to have nightmares :)

You guys could try to wash your sheets (especially your pillow case) with a couple drops of lavender/eucalyptus oil. It's what I do, and it's really soothing. It's also an encouragement to wash your sheets more often, if you happen to be an absolute grot. :P
You can get infusers and scent bottles from stores like Dusk, practically any health store, or online. They're helpful, but they can be expensive and if they're one of the good smells, I've noticed they run out of refills really quick. (I haven't been able to get my lemongrass scent for AGES).

I once had a dream that I was being chased by a giant black cat through Moria, with diamonds sticking out of all the walls, the floor and the ceiling, but I couldn't grab anything because somehow I knew that that cat had eaten all my family, so I was in a real hurry to get out. I never actually saw the cat though...

I've also had this random and boring dream over and over again: Two koalas floating in a pool around a gum tree in an upside umbrella :P so weird...

Dreams are weird.

Ditto to what secretly_a_poet and K888 said. You'll also need to get an essential oil, like lavender or rose oil, which you can get from Chemist Warehouse, or those funky candle shops like Dusk. Just get whatever one smells the most pleasant, and put it on about half an hour before you sleep. Coupling this with some relaxing, instrumental music in the background has done wonders for me

On the topic of weird- had this dream of me sitting in some sort of tub of orange juice and playing the piano.

I've heard some people say that dreams may be a way of your brain's subconscious trying to bring something to your conscious attention. And there have been instances where this has been actually true... E.g. Mendeleev came up with the final version of his Periodic Table from what he saw in a dream...

Though honestly, I think dreams are probably just a jumble of things that you have been thinking about/have been experiencing, with some random stuff thrown in here and there. ;D

Most of my dreams are school based..mostly of people i know in my year...I rarely have nightmares. I rarely remember my dreams..some i remember and slowly i forget over the day.
One of my dreams was that i was in class and it was raining heavily and i was talking with the school's captain about stuff..i was still packing stuff up while the bell rang and i asked him if he could write a note for me because i was going to be late for class. He said Why are you asking me to write you a note when i'm a student too.
Another dream that happened 2-3 times is that i'm late to school.. i mean there are things making me latter and latter to school..when i get to school its really late adn when i sign in the office is dark with electric panels for typing stuff..its really strange.
A recent one is where they replaced part of the floor outside and its yellow and tall like log and wobbly structure to walk onto. I thought why would they build it because its hazardous and slippery. Some of my classmates run onto it after i run onto it. We run to a area with many people. One of my friends from primary school is the sun god and he appears in front of me (forgot what he said) then he goes into a portal and disappears. Then im in a church like hall with people bowing down on the ground next to a statue of him. I walk out the room and onto the corrodior into another room where someone is tied up not sure who it is...they say kill him because he is a threat to teh sun god..or something..i try to stop them as they fire many arrows and i dodge them holding him..its wierd because the arrows don't hit me or him.

haha. Why didn't I know about this thread?

This wasn't MY dream, but one of the girls in my class (about me).

Apparently I (and my brothers) had joined a terrorist group, and had blown up a shopping center. SO the entire school was running away from me, but no one could actually get away... :)

After describing that, she says...

I guess it was more a nightmare about you than a dream...

Well THAT really shows how she feels about me!! :D

Continuing with the running theme- before my alarm went off, I had this dream of running a marathon. That's funny coming from me, because I don't really run that much.
Maybe it's a sign that I should exercise more? 🤔

I tell you what, I have so many bloody dreams about negative cricket situations.

In the one last night, I was late to my grand final and subsequently couldn't play. I used to open the batting, and when I got to the ground, I saw the new openers there squaring up for the first ball. Usually, though, my dreams are centred on trying to pad up but for some reason not being able to do it in time.

Very unusual.

Sad to hear, Nick  :(
Maybe some small changes in your lifestyle will kill those nightmares!
Do you want to try and listen to soft, soothing music for half an hour before you sleep?
Try and stay away from electronic devices before bed?
Is it too cold?

And, most importantly, though you always do this, but always always think positively, imagine everything from the positive side!! Like I said, you already do this, but just a reminder  ;)
Trying to think of something else...
What do you think could be the reasons? Because definitely something changes and all of a sudden your dreams change!

But hope they vanish away soon!  :)

But then Jamon and I were late to the venue, I lost my USB, I couldn't find the file of the lecture, the clicker didn't work, and I accidentally wrote my password in the "username" box, which I projected to everybody in the lecture haha.

Obscure yet plausible in your position.
I tend to have dreams about a situation that is soon to happen or that has happened recently.
The most recent "big event" in my life is the UMAT. Before the day, I still hadn't found my ID! So my dreams were spent intensely searching for it. Only last night, I had a dream that a friend told me I had to take another test. I even imagined sitting it with questions and all! Crazy...
Any presenting you're faced with recently?

I had a few similar dreams leading up to umat too!

I think it was the car ride there, but I hadn't packed my ID or pencils or anything, but it was too late to go home and collect them. I tried to convince my parent to go back and find it for me while I waited in line. Luckily in real life, I'd packed everything the night before and arrived early on the day, so no such worries. Phew!

The odd thing I'd I didn't feel anxious while I was awake, so maybe my subconscious thoughts only manifested in my dreams?  ???

I had a dream this year that my since I was doing my eng lang exam by distance ed it wasn't at my school (which is where I had all my other exams). Instead, it was in one of the stops just before Wendouree. I missed my train, which meant that I was waiting an hour for the next one, but that train was delayed, and by the time I got to the exam I only had 20 minutes left. But then they were sceptical that I was the same person as in my student id, and it took me 10 minutes to convince them that that was me, so really I only had 10 minutes. I finished reading with five minutes left to write in, woke up just after my paper was collected.

Bump!

Had a dream last night that I was walking through a giant shopping centre. It was four stories high with open plan and beautiful pristine white walls. It was suuuuper clean, like the ship in WALL-E. Anyway, I saw a shop with a red mini out the front, so I walked in and some middle-aged Asian guy calls me by name. Never seen him before but I go along with it. Turns out he’s a barber and he shaves off my eyebrows... woke up and I still have eyebrows.

But his name was... S200. Hey, S, is there something you’re not telling is? Please don’t shave off my eyebrows. :)

Tooth losing dreams apparently mean you’re super anxious about something. When I posted my original post, I could see why I would I dream about losing my teeth (was going through a stressful period). Few months later, I haven’t had a single tooth-losing dream which is great (which is ironic because I’m nearing the end of semester- a time where I should be anxious when I’m really not)

Bit of back story first: I'm an SES volunteer - VICSES is the largest road rescue provider in Australia so basically someone has an accident no matter how bad we go rescue them

Dream: long story short one of my closest friends was in a road accident and i got to the scene and he died in my arms

i woke up and cried like living in a small town the reality is you probably will have to save/not be able to save someone you know and its a horrible horrible thought

For some reason my little brother was at an ice cream shop and then there a policeman chasing him along a beach (or at least my brother thought he was chasing him?) and then it was night and it had been raining and it was cold and I was really worried he was going to get hypothermia but he was just worried the cop was going to find him and for some reason we were snap chatting (pls don’t questions why he had internet connection but wasn’t leaving the area along the beach) and I was trying to tell him how to build a shelter out of leaves so he didn’t die but he was too busy shivering and he wasn’t doing it and I was really worried.

Sometimes my imagination is too good.


And when I say “for some reason” I’d guess part of that reason is that it’s pouring rain outside, my window is open, and i’d managed to kick my doona off me in my sleep and was quite freezing when I woke up.

Okay so the greatest dream I've ever had was that of a ghost/demon, I would talk about it but is it against the rules to talk about such a topic?

It was highly ironic because I'm an atheist and being a student of Science I don't at all believe in such things. I just woke up and laughed at it lol. I guess to a lot of people that would be a 'nightmare' but I loved it haha.

And no before people get concerned, I'm not possessed like in the movies :P
