not a great dream but one I always remember

I was probably 4 or 5 at the time. I was playing at my daycare when all of a sudden I started running frnatically around the house. I dont even think I knew what I was running from. I eventually ran into one of the bedrooms and this is where it was weird...the bed was gone and instead part of the wall was cut out like another door but it lead into solid dirt. I ran trying to dig my way through and all of the sudden the hydra from hercules (the one that can grow new heads) comes through the door and gobbles me up...then I woke up...not scary but kind of odd...

That's very similar to the only recurring nightmare I ever had. I was a small kid, maybe 5 or 6, but I remember it quite well. I kept having this dream of a wolf who wore clothes and stood on his hind legs and was as tall as a man. I was in a room with no doors or windows. I was bound to a chair in the center of the room. The wolf-man would bring in members of my family and my friends one at a time and he would eat them and make me watch. I'd scream and cry and I wouldn't wake up until everyone I knew was eaten up. When I would wake up I'd be covered in sweat and run into my parents bedroom screaming.

The dreams stopped coming after my mom prayed with me about them and the night she did I woke up (or dreamt I did) and I saw 2 men, glowing very brightly. One was seated on the windowsill smiling at me and the other was sitting on top of my canopy bed, looking down and also smiling at me. I felt very safe and peaceful and I honestly have not had a nightmare since. I am 30 years old now.
 
8... that one seems to have a good ending


Mine was a pretty simple recurring nightmare:

I'd dream I was sleeping, then I fall off the bed (I have a very tall bed), I stay on the floor and hear this roaring coming from underneath, there's this sort of curtain-y thingy around the skirting of the bed, like a table cloth sort of thing so you can't see underneath, I tentatively lift it up. It's pitch black, then this vortex appears and sucks me in.

Pretty lame, I know, but they compound the more often you have them
 
The one nightmare I will always remember came when I was about 7 or 8. We had come home from visiting the Texas.

I dreamed I was on the battleship (as a child), but it was dark. I was on one of the small turrets on the side of the ship. We were moving, but I couldn't tell if it was water or what. I needed to get to the bridge, my mom was there with a light, but everytime I tried to get into the ship, I couldn't see where I was going. Then something in the depths of the ship started growling. Not a dog kind of growl, but something very big and very pissed off.

I woke up and couldn't move for about 10 minutes. Literally, I was incapable of moving or screaming or anything.


Warning Science Content: When you go to sleep, a part of your brain shuts down. It's the part that sends commands to the rest of your body. If it doesn't shut down, then you might sleepwalk. If it doesn't boot up when you wake up, then you cannot move any voluntary muscles until it reboots.
That's the source of the 'night terrors' and the aliens with the mind rays that keep people from running away.

Needless to say, I didn't know that at the time and came pretty unglued for a few days.
 
7...Ahh, that would be weird!

Well I have many strange dreams, I'm always scared of what may happen when I dream "off" about ppl I know. Here is one example of why my dreams bother me:

I had this dream about going to my Grandpas house, myself and a few family members were going to visit him (he had died awhile back), anyway in my dream we were going to visit him because his "spirit" had come to his house to see us. He was sitting at the table where he always sits chatting and joking with everyone when I walked in, then of coarse he stood up and hugged me, I told him I missed him and he said not to worry he is much happier now and that he was watching over our family. Well about then a cousin of mine (Mike) walked in, no one had seen him in years b/c he moved out of state a long time ago. Anyway in my dream as soon as he walked in my Grandpa stood up and walked over to him. He took Mike in his arms and said "I am so sorry Mike" and Mike just started sobbing in my Grandpa's arms and there was a light around them.
Now for the really freaky part..I woke up and called my Mom to talk to her about my dream, she told me my Aunt had just called her...Mikes son was found dead by the Mississippi River, he had been murdered!!!
Another strange thing from my dream..the only family members that went to Mikes were the ones that were in the dream.
 
Slappy..you could share one of your "evil" guy dreams with us:)
 
I havent had a single dream since I stopped taking pills in college.....

must be fun to wake up with a story in your mind.


on that thought, is there anything you can do to promote having dreams? Like, eating a certain food?
 
Nutmeg,

there are always more illicit options, which you've suggested but...

From Wikipedia
Nutmeg

Nutmeg seeds


Main article: Nutmeg
In low doses, nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. In amounts of 5–20g it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria.[2] Use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, headache, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards


The effects peak approximately six hours after ingestion, it says, if you had it for dinner and when to sleep immediately after, you may have entered the REM phase of sleep which is required for dreams.
 
oh wow! nutmeg! never would have thought of that! Although the side affects do seem a bit daunting...
