Crazy Dreams

[pianorama]

This should be interesting. I'll start.

This dream just happened a few days ago: I was on the balcony in the backyard and in the Camelia tree, (technically a bush but I consider it a tree since it's so huge, about 20 feet high), there were a few birds fluttering about, about the size of a parrot each.  There was an abandoned bird's nest and in it were two blue eggs. Apparently the mother had died. I took the eggs out and carried them with me everywhere, lovingly caring for them. Then one time, for some reason, I was carrying them with lacrosse sticks and I was on the balcony. My 17- year old brother was at the bottom of the stairs of the balcony. He asked me what I would do if he threw a rock at one of my eggs. I said I would be really angry. Then he immediatly threw a rock slightly larger than a golf ball at an egg, I turned but because they were in the lacrosse sticks I couldn't move very quickly. The rock hit the egg, and cracked it in half. I crumpled to the floor and begin crying so loudly and bitterly it seemed as though I was mourning the death of a close (human) relative.

When I woke up I was so mad at him I wanted to punch him in the face. (Or better yet, the groin)

[pianistimo]

do you watch animal planet too?

i had a similarly wierd dream about seals.  there were about 12 -14 seals of all different sizes near and on a train track.  i dreamed they were all 'arcking about' and there was a large one and several smaller ones on the track.  then, this train comes and the poor seals get slammed and the larger one goes down the track.  it was so horrible that (as you) thinking it was as bad as seeing human wreckage.  i woke up and thought, 'how strange.'  the only thing that could have brought it on was watching animal planet too much.

I dreamt last night that I was going down a rollercoaster - but the weird part was, you know that uncomfortable ticklish feeling you get in your chest? I actually literally felt it as I was dreaming. o_O

[pianorama]

do you watch animal planet too?

No, the only time I watch is when I see that World's Funniest Animals is on, which only happens once every 2 or 3 months.

I dreamt last night that I was going down a rollercoaster - but the weird part was, you know that uncomfortable ticklish feeling you get in your chest? I actually literally felt it as I was dreaming. o_O

Weird. A year or two ago I kept on having the same nightmare. I would be in a small, fenced-in dirt area, woth small, rolling hills at all sides, sloping in a way that made the middle the lowest point. I would be running away from giant tarantulas almost as big as me. It would be fun at first, but then they would always catch me. They would be running over me, but I would never be able to move because there would always be at least two tarantulas. The feet themselves weren't painful, but it tickled so much, it hurt. I literally felt the pain.
What I think had happened is my arm fell asleep.

I'm going to try to get a picture of the camelia tree in the morning.

Once I had a dream it was winter, and there was this long, meandering street for pedestrians only. There were a lot of seagull trainers training for an upcoming seagull race.  The thing was, in the dream seagull trainers were fairly normal. Then I saw a poster that said:

LOST: (insert picture of a flying seagull) Please, if you ever see this seagull, please contact
me. He was last seen twenty years ago.

Well, the funny thing is, I actually found the seagull flying above the trees at the side of the street. I ran home to get my brother. I really wanted to give the bird back to the owner. When my brother saw it he shot it with a gun. Nice guy, isn't he?

[pianistimo]

sounds like you might have a career in animal rescue.  (sometimes i watch that show, too).  anyway - don't shoot your brother, yet.  *wonders if there should be a brother rescue.  i always used to feel badly for my daughters until they started punching my son while resting or asleep.  that fixed him.

[gruffalo]

i recently had a dream that i was having sex with a table.

[pianistimo]

how did you feel afterwards?  wonder what a doctor would say if you got a splinter.  "how did this happen?"
 
maybe next time the toaster would be better.

No no, that's simpler but much worse. Hasn't anyone seen American Pie? Hell, even just the cover will do.

I like your explaination for actually feeling pain in a dream pianorama, just a limb falling asleep. Anyways, those are the worst kind of nightmares.

Once in a while my hand will fall asleep, I will touch my face and it feels like someone else is grabbing my face. Then I panic, and the numb hand on my face panics which scares me even more. Helluva way to wake up.

But that's a good idea; just put your hand on someones face as they're sleeping and be ready for anything. I'll have to remember this .

[Tash]

i was in some random forest covered in snow, in some random country, on some kind of tour thing, and we went to some old house and in it there were people acting as the people who used to live in the house- there were 2 sisters and they were both really blond. so i was chatting to them and then the doctor came in and the older girl fell in love with him except it was kind of against the rules to date him so we were trying to think of a way to get around that...then i woke up...

hmm sex with a toaster- get a really electrifying orgasm with that hahahaha

hmm sex with a toaster- get a really electrifying orgasm with that hahahaha

Hot sex!



The table seems jealous...

[brewtality]

I have been having a lot of "high school" dreams, i.e. dreams where I'm back at school with all my mates. Maybe it's because I had such a great time back then and wish it were still like that. randomly.

Recently I had only my second 'pianist' dream; I dreamt that I met Hamelin and was asking him how to play Hertz's Wizard of Oz fantasy, which randomly is not played by Hamelin at all but by Jon Kimura Parker.

In June 1978, midway through my correspondence with my penfriend (now my wife) , I experienced a colossus of a dream; a dream so vivid, so utterly overwhelming that even now its beneficent power has still not dissipated. It began as one of those flying, "out of the body", experiences. I flew a great distance to a tall tower. I entered a glass dome at the top. By my side was a being of light to which I felt greatly attracted. The interior was coloured yellow and white. I sat down with the being and peered out through the glass dome. Below I could see hundreds of shanty-like dwellings and people moving about. A portal opened and an immaculately dressed Oriental man radiating great serenity appeared. He took me by the hand and said, "I am the controller." I seemed to spend a long time in this place of visionary light, at length "flying" back to my bed and waking in a state of profound ecstasy.

In January 1979 I spent my annual leave with my penfriend and her family in Dagupan. One night the women shouted me dinner at the McAdore Hotel, which had only just been built. It turned out to be (still is as far as I know) a tall, roughly circular building with a glass enclosed revolving restaurant at the top. I entered the restaurant with my friend at my side and we sat down together. The decor comprised yellow and white panels. I looked through the glass and saw a myriad of poor dwellings below, with many people moving among them. At the request of the women I played the piano. When I had finished, a door at the rear opened and a Chinese gentleman in a fine suit appeared. He took my hand and said, "I am the manager."

At that stage I ordered a double brandy fairly quickly ! I still cannot explain this dream in rational terms. The hotel wasn't constructed at the time of the dream, and even if it had been I wouldn't have known what it was like.

Unfortunately (fortunately ?) this sort of thing has happened to me many times. Being a strongly sceptical person I kept dream diaries for ages. This only succeeded in uncovering other instances of "precognition". The thing about these visionary states, either waking or in dreams, is that they "feel" entirely different to the helpful but prosaic visions and fantasies our unconscious dishes us up each night in dreams. The best of them feel as though the whole universe were rolled into a ball of kind light. As Carl Jung said, ignoring a dream is like not opening a letter addressed to you.

The problem is that there is a clear perceptual difference between understanding mystical experience of this type in terms of Ramsey theory (loosely speaking, the greater the heft of data the more arbitrary meanings we are able to perceive in it - faces on planets, hidden words in large texts and so on) and actually finding oneself continually at the centre of the genuine article.

[Tash]

i randomly had a dream we had a choir concert in some non-unsw place, and i had been sitting around reading a magazine before we went on stage. then just before it's to start i realised i was meant to hang my yr12 artworks on the back wall of the stage, so hid behind a wall thing on the stage and started putting masking tape on the back of my 9 works (dunno where the 10th one went) because i'd forgotten the hooks. so did that for the first half of the concert. then it became kind of random and there were all my old school friends there watching...dunno what happened to my paintings in the end...

not quite like that...even more random

but you were leik teh coolest

oh so i wasn't flashing anyone that's ok then haha you're gonna have to tell me about this dream sometime because you know, i am ridiculously cool haha

[luvslive]

good thread...Ted, that is a fascinating case of a dream coming true!  this happens to many people in my family, and to me a couple times.
for the past two months i have been dreaming primarily about dead relatives.  (yikes)  two deceased grandmothers and one deceased grandfather (dead before i was born).  this has caused me to think way too much about death lately.  in my dreams i know that they are no longer alive, but they have spoken to me nonetheless.  last night in fact i was dreaming that i was looking at a picture of one of the grandmothers and a voice, not my own, said "she is in the ground like your other grandmother"  soothing, huh?  well, i feel like there is still such a connection to me from this particular great grandmother, she only died in july and my mind just isn't letting go.  as for the grandfather i dreamed that his daughter was giving me a pair of socks and telling me these are his and that i can have them as a keepsake (what a memento..)
in another incident (not a dream) i was visiting with a currently living grandmother and we were discussing my ailing great grandmother who died not too long after.  she looked at me and very seriously told me about a dream she had wherein her mother-in-law was saying to her: "why are you so late-what took you so long to get here".  i was in the hospital the day my great grandmother died and my poor grandma came in and what does my great grandmother say to her but "why are you so late, where were you?"
i would like to start a dream diary also i think..much more interesting than my every day life!

[stevie]

oh so i wasn't flashing anyone that's ok then haha you're gonna have to tell me about this dream sometime because you know, i am ridiculously cool haha

true

some random dreams arent so pleasant, i just woke up from one...randomly

[gruffalo]

the other night i had a really rough sleep. i woke up on the floor and randomnly my lamp was in my bed. and the lamp is usually on the other side of my room.   

[pianistimo]

watch out for the lamp.  your bed's going to catch fire.  (is this so you can say you're hot in bed?)  that's ok.  aside from the mild depression of not having a constant girlfriend (as my son is probably starting into as well), you're avoiding the possible repercussions of unwanted pregnancies and stds.  lamps only take electricity and not money and time- and they don't give you eyestrain in the morning.  (i keep telling my son this, too, as he vacillates from being happy alone to miserable).  these days are very short!  finish college.  put your eyes on the long term goal and don't let anyone try to get into the bed.  (maybe a coat of armor somewhere around the room - you can get into in case a girl tries anything).

[gruffalo]

the lamp was unplugged and in my bed. dont remember taking it, walking in the night or anything. i usually know when i have sleepwalked (not at the time, just when i wake up) and i dont actually remember doing anything.

Extraordinary dream-come-true Ted! I wish this dream I had had come true:

I went to a friends party and walked in the front door. I took off my shoes, then my socks, then my feet. I then hung up my coat, took out my iPod and put on Rachmaninov's 3rd concerto. My friend (who's house it was) came and greeted me with wotsited toast, and said 'Happy night-winkle! Do come and join the rest of the party.' Some blurryness went by and I found myself in the dining room putting my iPod headphones into Rachmaninov's ears playing him his own 3rd concerto and saying 'Dude, that's YOU! That's YOU playing! Listen, listen; it's YOUR fingers playing YOUR concerto DUUUUDE!' leaning forward, pointing to him and leaning back everytime I said 'YOU', whilst he was calmly eating Haribo and mumbling to himself.

I also had this dream where I was in my sitting room holding a piece of paper. This paper I held with utmost regard for it's safety, and a little while later the Aphex Twin came in with a friend in a goofy rubber mask. He tried to burn my piece of paper with a lighter, and I kept saying 'No! Naughty twin, don't do that!' and he kept saying 'Ok, ok I won't do it.' and would then try again to burn it. Eventually a picked up a foam T and stuck it on his forehead, rendering him helpless. I then trotted to the dining room where I found my hamster with a rat in his mouth. I shouted at him 'Drop the rat!' but he wouldn't, so I picked him up and started slamming him against the carpet (while I was doing this I had the oddest feeling of guilt and sorrow, like I was watching what was happening and was appalled with myself) until he dropped it, then put him back in his cage, which was in bits all over the kitchen floor. I then saw my two cats. They were alternating moving back and forth to their food bowl. One would go towards it, lying down like cats do but without moving their feet, take one robotic bite, then move back as the other went forward. They did this many times, almost like a Wacky Races cartoon. Then my friend's mum Clara came up the back steps and I did a highly exaggerated wave and woke up. My brother told me that morning that, as he was trying to climb over me during the night, I was telling him not to, as I was the Aphex Twin.

I also had the part-asleep-part-awake experience when you say something in a dream, but just as you wake up, and realise that you said it in reality. Such an odd experience...

I have had so many of those inexplicable dreams. Here is another, which occurred about ten years ago.

The dream:

My wife and I arrived at some event or other and had enormous difficulty, firstly in finding the place, and then with parking the car. The parking area was full of cars parked at odd angles on a slope, each car obstructing the exit of several others. Eventually I found a space and we proceeded into a two-storey building up a wobbly, ramshackle staircase with a sort of guide rope as a hand-hold. My wife remarked that it looked dangerous. At the top of this affair was a large billiard room with a full-sized billiard table in it. Assorted people we knew were observing a game of snooker in progress and we sat down in armchairs and watched.

The reality, a month or two later:

We received an invitation to a party at the home of a friend whose husband had recently died. We had only met the couple very briefly once before and knew next to nothing about them. The house had no number on the road and we took many wrong turnings finding it, having to get out and inspect letterbox numbers several times. When we finally found it, cars belonging to the other guests were all parked in disorderly fashion on a slope among trees. I found a spot but spent the evening checking to see if we were hemmed in or if somebody had bumped into the car. Our friend arrived and apologised about our having to enter by the basement door because she was having renovations done. Connecting the basement to the next floor was a long, narrow flight of stairs with nothing to hang onto except a flimsy rope. We mounted the stairs, which swayed from side to side. My wife hung on to my arm and said the whole thing looked dicey. We arrived in a spacious lounge and sat down in armchairs. We were offered drinks and I ordered a strong one, enjoying a sigh of relief that no billiard table was there.

When the drinks arrived I said to our friend, "What a nice roomy lounge you have here."
"Yes," she replied. "Poor Robert was going to convert it into a billiard room. He loved his snooker. What a pity he never got around to doing it."

[henrah]

 

Crazy man, just crazy....

I had an odd dream last night. It involved many zombies, guns that fired bullets like BB guns so they just bounced off, and Anthony Hopkins. One very strange part was: I was walking along a road (I think this was the beginning, before I knew about the zombies) and a Warthog-like (Halo) vehicle came up and a women who looked like a mix of Milla Jovovich and Jessica Biel jumped off and greeted me. I then went into the building to the side and gathered some guns, realising that the bullets were crap and just bounced off people and never had enough power. Then we went into a small police inquiry-type room and a zombie was in there. We locked ourselves in there to talk, whilst the zombie was trying to eat us but failing. He grabbed hold of my pinkie finger at one point, but I just slapped his hand and took it back; he wasn't much trouble. Then I think Anthony Hopkins explained his theory of revelating cat-cycles, using a 'paws' machine to pause time. This made me laugh until I woke up, and I was still laughing.

Then the oddest thing happened: I heard a car horn outside my window and looking out I saw a guy get out of a van, sit in a little makeshift pool of water and wash himself. He then looked at me and said 'Aren't you gonna clean yourself?'. I then got back into bed, heard the car horn again, and I think I then woke up. It's strange when you have dreams where you constantly wake up and never know when you awake to reality. It reminds me of a nightmare I had a couple of years back where I looked out of my window and saw an alien like the white one in Alien:Ressurection walking down the driveway with a hole in it's stomach where another alien sat. That other alien jumped out and ran towards my window, at which point I was nearly crapping myself out of fright so I jumped out of bed and went up to my sisters room. I sat down beside her bed and couldn't stop shaking, and I know for sure that I was in reality then and not a dream, but I fell asleep a little later and my sister woke me up wondering why I was there. Man that alien thing scared the crap out of me!

Weird dream:


I'm at school in a practice room. There are two grands. The one nearest the door has no light over it. I sit at the one near the wall. I dont realize how long I've been practicing. I play the notes of the first few pages of Chopin's Ballade in A flat as if I'm actually sitting there.

 Its dark.  I decided to take out a video camera to record my playing. I set in down on the piano. It's facing the door. Before I can adjust it, I see a tall white figure walk into the room on the camera screen. I look to the door. There's nothing. I get a chill. My vision gets grainy.

 As I stand up the air gets heavy. The room dims more and more as I slowly make my way to the door. I can barely move. I open the door. It's pitch black. I can only see the silhouettes of object in the hall.

I open my eyes. Im in my room. It's stuffy. The TV down stairs has turned itself on again.

[ted]

I do not seem to have nightmares anywhere near as frequently as most people. In fact, I have difficulty remembering a dream that was even vaguely unpleasant. The actual visual material of the dream is, on occasions, fairly revolting, or would be if it were reality. However, somehow in the dream I know it is fantasy, even to the point of usually being able to control and modify it. Thinking quickly, I can recall only one dream which gave me a fright, and it was very simple.

I dreamed I woke and reached for a drink of water from the glass I used to put on the bedside table every night. In the total darkness, I felt a large hand grab my wrist in a vice-like grip. A few seconds later I really did wake up, and it took considerable effort of will to reach for the glass of water !

If I have eaten too much food, or food of the wrong sort, I invariably have a dream about very grubby lavatories. Without going into specifics, the symbolism is fairly obvious. Too much ice cream, in particular, produces this effect almost without fail.

On the more pleasant side, a dream I enjoy very much is one in which I float up out of my body, go about the house, then the street, then the world. I fly and bounce around everywhere, entering houses through walls and frightening people. The dream has a recurring variant wherein I revisit an imaginary location many times, each time "remembering", or perhaps dreaming that I am remembering previous visits and experiences. One such went on every couple of weeks for many months until I could practically draw a map of the place. On other occasions I appear to fly in time, and meet people of one historical era. There are probably inconsistencies in the detail, but the whole atmosphere is supremely realistic. The piano piece I posted in the Audition Room, "Ellen Lauderdale", was written immediately after a particularly vivid "trip" many years ago, to what appeared to be Victorian England, where I met a woman of this name.

I think nothing actually happens outside my brain, but the brain is a marvellous thing. I can fully understand the origins of such ideas as astral travel, past lives and other mystical states. Jung went as far as to say that we should all construct our own religious myths from the foundations of our dreams.

[gruffalo]

hey, Henrah thats a crazy dream. cant stop laughing.

do you listen to Aphex Twin?

[pianorama]

Here is another one, from 2 days ago:

I was Leela, from Futurama. I was live with 2 bacteria, which were huge, about the size of an excersize ball. Then one day they came home really angry, and wanted to turn me into a piece of microscopic bacterium. I ran away, wondering if I should hide in the cupboard under the sink or this really tiny drawer that you wouldn't think anyone could fit in. (Though in real life I really can fit in it.) Then I decided to go upstairs and ask them why they wanted to turn me into a bacterium. They said that they were angry at a human waiter at a restaurant. Then randomly I am myself again, holding  the gun that turns people into giant microorganisms. (Sounds like a oxymoron.) Then, I asked my dad if I could turn him into a beach ball sized xenon. (Yes, I realise now that xenon is a gas). Suprisingly, he said it was ok. So I did, and he turned into a bumpy red pickle-textured lump. Then I realised I couldn't turn him back into a human with the beeper/gun thing. I logged onto a website for advise, and Martha Stuart was a member of the forum. I woke up before I turned my dad back to human.

[henrah]

hey, Henrah thats a crazy dream. cant stop laughing.

do you listen to Aphex Twin?

Yeah quite often. Tis a great source to trip out to, and also to listen really intently to and hear loads of different effects and voices, and come to some mathematical conclusion of how one beat passes to the next, and how the conjoin etc etc. It's a great time waster

[gruffalo]

thats interesting. im into electronic aswell, squarepusher, autechre, jarre, vangelis.

Once I had a dream I was in an ice maze being chased by an ice Queen. Part of the maze was almost exactly like my grandma's house.

[pianorama]

And once I dreamt I had a shower at my school in the bathroom (though I don't know how I did it - we don't have any showers. I'm still at elementary school) and I walked out with a pink towel around my waist. There was no one around and there were no lights on, but everything was easily visible. Then a girl in my class shows up, and then I wake up.

Ah once had a dream where a girl in my class appeared out of nowhere.

Had to change mah pants in the mornin

[henrah]

I just had the most horrible dream last night. I shant go into details, but it involved alien baby selling whilst sitting on drains trying to keep my elbows out of the wetness, and then living in a house in the suburbs and opening the front door and my kitten running out into the road and missing loads of cars and me getting really, really scared of her getting run over. Then she did, and I saw the blood splatter underneath the car and I just broke down and woke up crying shouting "Oh my god!!"

I'm starting to think that the waking up and crying was in a dream also.

I dreamt last night that I overslept.

Not kidding.

[pianorama]

Once I dreamt that my friend (male-friend) was pregnant, with his (in reality 2 year old) sister. When I got really close to see if I could hear it it kicked me in the face from inside his stomach. Then, randomly we were in an airplane, which depended on a brown paper bag inflated with air to stay aloft. I was tending the bag, but it got a hole in it and it exploded. The airplane began to plummet straight down toward the ocean. Mean while, I was franticly trying to re-inflate the bag while covering the hole with my hand, and then I woke up.

[pianorama]

Once I dreamnt, ummm.... well I don't remember that part but I realised I was dreaming and I tried to wake up, but then I dreamnt I did wake wake up and then I was at school. I then realised that I was still dreaming, and then I "woke" up from that dream and dreamnt I fell asleep. When I woke up in reality I was startled because I thought I was already awake. Similiar dreams like have happened a few times. Once I knew I was dreaming but couldn't wake up. I was consciously controlling the dream trying to wake up.

[nanabush]

Very very messed up dream...  I start in a dark garage, and I can see the door, and there's a full moon.  And then a 'ghoul' monster shows up, then it goes to a battle cutscene, where its turn based fighting.  It skips to me sitting at my computer with a bowl of vodka, and I keep saying "this is vodka?", I am typing in the search tool "longest post", then it skips to me in a huge room with a carpet - forget what colour, and then the lady with the annoying voice from will and grace, black hair, kinda fat, comes out and says "this is how its done" and starts doing these strange dance moves.  Then something that freaks my out, I'm in a house, it's a square, but like 20 stories.  The middle is a gap from the top to the bottom, and there's balconies all around the outside, like staircases going around the central 'pit', and I'm getting pulled in deeper into the pit, and it gets darker the further down i go, my family is walking around the outside balconies, and I'm yelling to get them to help me, but they can't hear me.... really strange and freaky, and the last part of my dream is recurring, I'm freaked out...

[henrah]

Once I knew I was dreaming but couldn't wake up. I was consciously controlling the dream trying to wake up.

Pianorama, you just had a lucid dream! Anytime you have a lucid dream (realise you are dreaming) use it to do anything you like! You can try flying, morphing into anyone or anything, or asking anyone anything you like. You can even call up your spiritual guide and ask them questions. Also explore, as the world in your imagination is huge, and there are many characters there that you can talk to. Ask them if they know they are in your dream

Wish I had thought of that... Though I never tried, I think I could only control my own actions, not the dream itself. What I felt when I was trying to wake up was similiar to having a cr*p when you don't really need to go that bad, but you know your going on a 10 or 12 hour car ride with no pit stops.  (Luckly I've never had that experience)!

I tried doing that the weekend before Reading Festival, but to no avail. Had to find a toilet in the town during the festival, which was a huge trek away.

I had a dream (I think last night, maybe the night before; it's only just come back to me) that I was in a town shopping and Horowitz was playing on a piano in the entrance of a shop. Suprisingly, barely anyone was watching him, so I went to talk to him. Can't remember much of what we discussed, I don't think it lasted long. But I remember talking about concert grands and his one that got crane lifted to his apartment.

A few days ago I dreamt I was catching a baseball, but it turns out I was by the edge of my bed, and when I tried to catch the baseball in the air, I reached out (in real life) and grabbed my lamp. There is a golf-ball sized baseball hanging from my lamp string, which was right beside my hand. I was quite startled when I woke up. (When I grabbed the lamp I woke up)
