What's the last weirdest dream you had?

Post Reply New Topic

I dreamt that "they" took everything. I thought they had taken it all but no - they took away the paint from the walls. My Russian Blue cat turned into two cats, both black and white, who didn't like each other or me. The cat tree was gone but was replaced by a wooden ladder. The dream ended in a cat fight.

Symbolic of you being at odds with yourself about something? Maybe?

I was at someplace like a giant bazaar and socializing. At one point a man was telling me the meaning behind each jeweled ring I was wearing. I was having a really good time. It a was very colorful dream.

I dreamt I was lost in an airport, I struggled to find the boarding pass I was supposed to have, I saw one in my hands but couldn't figure out if it was the right one or for some other flight, I wandered lost, trying to find the boarding area for my flight, I knew I was supposed to catch this flight even though I couldn't say where I was going, when i'd approach various boarding people behind desks and ask them where do I go, they acted like I wasn't even there, and then gradually the people started disappearing from the airport, until it was deserted.

I dreamt I was in the kitchen of my parents' old house, my dad as he was about 10 years before his passing, was sitting at the kitchen table, my mom as she was in the 90s in the corner whipping something up in a mixer. she was wearing some kind of weird underwear, translucent, over her normal knit trousers, they appeared to be serving the purpose of pockets holding stuff. then I awoke.

Dreamt that an unfamiliar child was crying because her laptop got broken

Dreamt that my sister came over with a cake

I was rudely awoken by a bunch of alternating white and black horizontal lines scrolling to the left of my brain's visual field, accompanied rhythmically by a high-pitched air-raid-siren-like sound but very rapidly cycling, matching the rhythm of the black and white lines going by, and it caused me to jump up in bed and yell "WHOAGAWDDD!!" it took me a while to fall back asleep after that, with my night light turned on.

I dreamed entirely in the first person perspective, which is unusual for my dreams. I dreamed that my grandparents and aunt and uncle were with me, and we were apparently going to go on a trip of some kind. We got to the parking lot, and there were school buses all over the place, filled with children. But when I looked around again, all of the buses were gone, until I heard a voice that said 'there's room here', and we all climbed on the bus. The driver said 'there's room for five more', and we all slid into seats at the very front. I felt the bus start, and there seemed to be a Doctor Who episode playing in the bus somehow. I tried to explain to my Nana what was happening in the episode [i mentioned a prophecy of some sort], and the episode started with many people [and aliens] all appearing at once and asking the Doctor for help. One by one, after he had helped them out and said goodbye to him, they all left, leaving him alone [the bus stopped 5 minutes before the end of the episode]. Similarly, by the time we got to our destination [a park], there was no one left on the bus except me and the driver. I got off, and wandered through the park. I was suddenly reminded [still in the dream] of the ending scene of Persona 3, wherein the hero [or heroine] dies in the company of only one friend. I sat on something, and just sat there for awhile. The sun felt so warm and nice, especially on my knees. Then I fell over sideways [to the left], off of whatever I was sitting on, and exited my body, and the dream ended.

Just last night, this one.

I dreamed that I was on some kind of business campus, very pretty landscaping, lush grass, flowers, big shade trees - very posh buildings - lots of marble and brass inside &C. I was watching a steady stream of frightened people, pets, and even wildlife pouring into one of the largest, nicest buildings - everyone and every creature was afraid, and that was obvious, but nobody and no creature was pushing or shoving or hurting anyone else. But there was a terrible urgency - get in, get in quickly, hurry.

I was one of the last inside. The building structure was completely baffling, it seemed to be all stairways and catwalks and tiny landings and tinier rooms, no rhyme or reason. The entrance doors were locked and heavily barred to keep The Monster out (in the dream, everyone knew there was A Monster). Once inside, I could find no food, no water, no furniture suitable for sitting on (never mind sleeping); everyone seemed to have vanished. A stranger offered to show me the way to the lavatory so I could wash my face &C, but the room had no facilities, and my guide disappeared the moment I stepped inside. I came back out immediately and there was nobody. I'd seen my cats go into the building, along with a couple of squirrels and a pet fawn, but try as I might, I couldn't find them. At some point, the possessions I'd had with me (purse, wallet, checkbook, credit cards) simply vanished, and I suddenly realized that I now had neither finances nor any proof of my identity.

I woke up feeling saddened to the core. Got up, made a cup of tea, realized that this was an extended metaphor for what I see as the current state of civilization here - everyone relying for protection on something that looks wonderful, and turns out to be an empty, nonfunctional labyrinth, once you really need it (laws, legal and ethical structures, financial standards, social norms and expectations). Every sane human being vanishing like mist.

It was very sobering, and I spent a lot of time hugging my cats as I made sure that I still had my wallet, checkbook and credit cards. It had felt like an imminent threat, in some metaphysical sense.

Holy moley. The worst thing is that when I have this kind of existential angst dream, it usually recurs. I'm not looking forward to replays or extensions of this.

^^^Esme, do you fear financial ruin/destitution?

I fear, very much, the Greece Austerity Murder of the Retirees.

Don't look it up, it's a real world horror story. Greece went into debt to DeutscheBank, so DeutscheBank rolled them, and the Greek government actually confiscated the life savings of retirees with bank accounts above XYZ Euros. Because they were in the EU, don'cha know, thus fair game for predators.

Of course, many of these people committed suicide.

I got entirely out of commercial banks ASAP after retiring, but I can't do much about my pretax retirement funds.

I think the dream is about the collapse of US civil society, which was only civil for a few people at best anyway; and the monster in my dream wears his tie too long and thinks other nations are trench latrines.

^^^I am thankful that i'm far closer to the end than to the beginning, but I feel sorrow for those young'uns who are just now getting into the thick of things. they will have their work cut out for them just to survive and avoid all manner of nasties.

^Claradoon, you are fortunate to live in a nation whose government was sufficiently wise and non-corrupt, to have hardened its electrical grid against an EMP attack. we amuuricans have done no such thing, and we are among most other western nations uniquely vulnerable to such an attack, which if it happened, would kill off 90% of us amuuuricans within a year. nightmare material for sure.

Hi Claradoon

That fits, and it fits perfectly - parents in Hawaii were loading their children (and the children's pets) into storm drains to try and give them the most protection they could. And yes, I dreamed it last night (this morning early). The total isolation once I was inside the "shelter" would also fit, the lack of reasonable structure would fit (symbolic). And also true, nobody's money will be worth anything in such a situation - it might as well vanish.

Thank you. Understanding the source helps me with lucid dreaming - all I could do last night was to force myself awake. If I know what the dream is about, though, I can often modify it.
