Cool but strange things you have seen in dreams
Dreams I've had that I've already typed up in various places:
Me and my family were on holiday. We came across some kind of pet shop where some animals were ones that had been abandoned by their owners... And they were kept in crappy cages and I wanted to take them all home with me but knew my parents wouldn't let me even though they weren't happy about the conditions.
I was left alone at night with these cages while everyone randomly went to bed and they were in my aunt's house at this point. And I heard a noise... and looked around... and a fox was coming towards me and I couldn't work out whether it was friendly or not. So I was trying to scare it out. Then I realised that it was from one of the cages so I picked it up to put it back but it turned into a tiny human skeleton. And we were talking and it was venting and I was listening but it accused me of not listening either and was basically saying that everyone discriminated against him and stuff. It was really weird.
I woke up and went back to sleep a few times so it changed yet again to me and a few other people looking for a tiny fish that we managed to accidentally lose... The fish was actually a little boy and there was a specific thing that had to happen to turn him back into a boy. Someone had to see him as a boy and shake his hand and say, "Alright, Jimmy?" or something like that. And my brother accidentally did it without thinking one time... and.. yeah... it was so freaky.. it was just like something out of a strange film. I'd been watching Edward Scissorhands so maybe that is what inspired the warped fairytale aspect of the dream.
-------------------------------------------------
I was in Hong Kong and going to the zoo which was London Zoo so I was like, "Why's it not called Hong Kong Zoo?" Anyway I walked through this door and I was in the chimp's indoor enclosure with people looking through the windows on the other side. The chimps were all standing upright like people and it was quite horrible. Then one came after me talking with a japanese accent (but in English) and was asking if I knew who he was and saying he was my dad and stuff. Somewhere along the lines I'd changed into some bloke though (who later on had a whole family made up of people I don't know, which was weird). This old man who'd raised me and somene else (I think) kept telling me that I shouldn't run away from the chimp because he's my dad. Obviously some upright standing chimp who can talk was freaking me out so I ran away and tried to shut him in, but somehow he got out. And then I was running/swimming in water the perspective changed so that I kind of fell back so I was watching instead of actually being the bloke and I saw some woman tumble out of a barrel, and that was the bloke's mum, and she was meant to be dead. She was floating there then looked up and called out to the chimp (pretty sure his name was Frank) then because she was meant to be dead she put herface back down in the water, but I think the bloke who was meant to be her son caught her out. But I can't remember it properly.
--------------------------------------------------
I went into the living room and on the TV was this thing about bears in a zoo and one of them was killing a cub. I think it was the cub's father and the person narrating what was going on said something about him doubting it was his cub, or the cub had been naughty or something. He was stamping on him and banging him into the walls, and the cub wouldn't die so I was getting really upset. Especially since as it was in the zoo I thought people could have tranqued the bears and got the cub out or something. There was this really horrible part of the dream where the cub kind of held onto the big male bear's arm as if he was trying to get some comfort or pleading with him... I didn't like that dream at all.
-----------------------------------------------------
Me and my friend went to see Cab Calloway! It was so brilliant. Plus there was this random fat guy with a guitar doing this really hilarious dancing and I woke up wishing it had been real because my friend would really have loved that, haha. It was so ace though, I was really stoked, but then my friend wanted to leave to go to some toilets or something, and when we got there they turned out to be backed onto a forest so that they hadn't bothered with putting a wall in the back really and they were all wooden and horrible and most of them had wet horrible floors from leakages and stuff. And two girls tried to look over the top of my cubicle but I'd only just got in there so was decent so I stood on something and looked over the top and started spitting on them. How gross is that? I think I was trying to get them to go away so I'd be able to pee without worrying about them looking over the top but they didn't go anywhere and I think that's when I woke up.
------------------------------------------------------
I had a dream that involved a bees nest, that then seemed to be a wasps nest, which then had bats coming out of it. I'd been reading Cujo earlier in the day so maybe that's why. One of them was small and fast and weird and one of them was big and had white markings on it which made it even scarier. It tried to attack me.
I had another dream about some girl coming out as gay even though I already knew she was gay. That one was weird. I could see her heart beating cos she was really skinny and it looked all weird, but I didn't notice until I woke up. Everyone else there was gay too, except for me and some guy. I didn't know any of them. It was strange.
---------------------------------------------------
I dreamed that a guy from a local band I like did a tattoo for me and it was only small, on my shoulder. Then when I looked at it again elsewhere it was MASSIVE and covered most of my arm and a large section of my chest. It went all the way down my arm and there was spiderman on my hand.
In another part of it I was on my laptop in next door's front garden. The guy the woman used to be married to died in an accident in real life but in the dream he came out from the back garden. I kind of recognised that he shouldn't be there... so I said to him, "You're dead though..." Then figured I must be dead if I could see him. So I asked if I was dead. I don't think he actually answered me.
The dream changed and because I was dead some woman told me that I had all the answers and should answer everyone's questions. People kept coming up to ask my advice over really silly matters and I'd just kind of managed to blag my way through (someone asked me if their kids watched too much TV, another asked me how to open a watch but the woman who was sure I had all the answers and should help people came up and did it for some reason).
There was some drunk bloke attacking people and I think he was meant to be my dad even though he's nothing like me... so... er... But I don't really remember what that bit was about properly.
--------------------------------------------------------
We were underground in some sort of tunnel, I think. There were LOADS of people fleeing these monster things that were trying to eat us, and I was hanging out at the back helping to fend them off with swords. We had to kill a few, but didn't want to get too close and battle them properly incase they just swarmed over us so we were running at the same time. We must have won though, because the next thing I know I was running through the crowd trying to get near the front, full of joy and calling out for someone. By this point I realised I was actually a boy, and me and a few of the others were the people who'd kind of saved everyone else, even though everyone was sort of... together? When I got to the front we'd reached the place we were aiming to get to and it was just this slope with a window. I caught up to my best friend and we were just staring through this window, really happy. There were people running around and playing, and it was sunny (outside).
Then we had to come back down the slope, but as we were now at the back I had to run through to the front to make sure everyone followed me/waited for the others to catch up or something. When I ran through people were in groups, in formation, just kind of dancing and stuff or marching and celebrating. When I got through to the front things changed a bit though. I was me again and we'd actually come back from getting some exam results and there were people from my old school there. My ex was there too... (then there was weird stuff to do with my ex etc. that's not very interesting, really).
----------------------------------------------------
In the first dream I was a young bloke. First of all I wasn't actually at this hotel place but I could see a bloke in a room with a shotgun. Me and a couple of friends went there, I think to play as a band, but we were in this bloke's room. He kept walking out of the room to go about his dodgy business, and we snuck around on the floor to see what he was up to (the bed was seperating the sides of the room, our instruments were on the floor furthest from the door). He came storming back in with the shotgun and so we kinda scurried back around the bed, ended up both up against the wall (at this point one of the friends had disappeared, I'm not sure why or where) and were both kind of cowering there waiting for him to shoot us. I had my face covered and for a while didn't know what was going on (where abouts he was exactly etc.) and when I looked he was still standing there with the shotgun, but didn't end up shooting us. I think we actually kind of became friends and even though I think we weren't doing much special I remember thinking that this was the most fun I'd had and I never wanted to leave that room. Even though I'd been scared half to death by a bloke running around with a shotgun. I picked up the guitar to play it and couldn't remember how to. I think when I left someone else was entering and she spoke to some guy (this stuff I was watching without actually being there) and it was something about the place being changed into something else, and that seemed a bad idea to me, even though it was quite a manky hotel.
---------------------------------------------
It was icy everywhere. I was walking down the road with a lesbian (I don't know who) who was also some kind of candidate for something and we were arguing over something to do with her being up herself because she was gay. It was weird. She kept nagging me and we were definitely not friends. We walked to the end of my road and a massive fence had been put up but the gates were open. Then someone else was there, I think it was my ex best friend from the first few years at secondary school, and we were all struggling up some laddery type thing. We had to pull ourselves up with the rail and the ladder slates turned, so you had to balance really well. It was incredibly hard but we needed to get up there. If I slipped, everyone laughed, if the others slipped everyone panicked and was nice. The lesbian was in front of me and getting in my way and pissing me off. She was really posh as well. I mentioned that I'd gone to lunch at this hotel place (forget the name) and she was like, "No, you want to go to blah blah blah it's a fabulous Mexican place," and everyone else was lapping up what she had to say but she was getting on my last nerve. So when one of her ladder slat things slipped I let her fall, even though it was a long way down onto the ice. I then climbed up the rest of the way.
Then she was there again. There was a confusing conversation. For some reason this was taking part DOWN the ladder though. They started sucking up to each other so I walked away. I saw the ladder but didn't know if I had the strength to go up it so walked past it, and I also walked past a mirror. I had long hair again, and I was wearing all white and walking really weird and I wondered if that was why everyone thought I was a div (sucking up to each other and treating me like an idiot) but then I was back where I'd started, near my house. I realised I could slide on the icy floor so was kind of skating on it but slipped over, and my brother and next door neightbour (same age as him) were standing near my front door laughing at me, but I thought it was funny too. My brother took a picture of me having fallen and I got up to go over to him. There was like a voiceover thing which I think was being read on the news about the new thing of SKATING ON THE ICE WITH YOUR NORMAL SHOES or something. I couldn't get myself to slide like my brother could so he was trying to teach me how.
While we were in the middle of the road a car came round the corner at a ridiculous speed and just missed us, then another car came round the other corner at a ridiculous speed and I thought it just missed him, but I was looking and couldn't tell if his car was slightly dented. Then he reversed into a massive van thing that was outside my neighbours house, which resulted in another car rolling forward into my aunt's car. Then he drove forward into another car, then got out and started attacking the cars. I thought he might start attacking us and ran to the house to get away from him and to warn my dad before his van got smashed up. I felt like I couldn't run, but made it, and I think that's when I woke up.
There are probably bits missing from that but that's what I remember.
----------------------------------------------------
Once I dreamed I was digging through piles of dead bodies (holocaust style) with Nazis guarding them. They ignored me though. I never found out what I was searching for but I could feel the bodies all squidgy and they were all a greyish colour.
---------------------------------------------------
Once I dreamed my then-boyfriend was dead in a foreign hospital and they'd let him die. I didn't want to leave his body there.
And if you managed to read all that, I salute you and apologise if you found it boring.
I do have the most gloriously weird dreams, and I really don't know how anyone can dream in black and white. Unless it's interpretive. Y'see, I could swear I dream in color but I seldom can remember a specific place in a dream where I saw a specific color. I just knew what color it was.
I do dream a lot of night scenes, so that may be part of it. I also dream a lot of rather gothic stuff, such as Escher like houses, or dimly lit rooms and halls that I find in back of a place that in the waking world has only a few rooms.
I used to have a recurring dream as a child, a young child, that aliens had landed and become my friends and said I could come with them, but when I came out of my house to go with them they had left without me. I attribute some of that to the time I was told I could go with my brothers and my dad to the store and when I came back out with my socks and shoes, they had left without me. I think my brother might have said it was okay and not told him, or they (the boys) thought it was funny to ditch me.
I used to dream a lot of trying to speak in a room full of people and no one could hear my voice. I used to wake gasping from these, since I couldn't scream. I hear that there is a sort of paralysis that takes place during dreams, maybe that has some connection.
Right after I got married, I used to dream all the time of being exposed in some way, naked, in my underwear, or sitting on the toilet with the door unlocked... and finding that people kept coming in and seeing me. I guess it was hard getting used to living with someone so intimately. I'm glad to say those dreams have long since stopped.
And periodically I have a "motion picture" dream. It'll have an all-star cast and at least feels like it has a complete and logical plot to it, just as if I was watching a movie. I love those. Except for the scary ones.
But the weirdest thing? Tough to choose... Maybe the time I dreamed that the incredible hulk started his transformation while breathing some noxious gas after being stuffed into a compartment underneath the bad guy's limo and as a result turned instead into a giant playing card monster. I think he was hearts or diamonds... Hey, there's a place I dreamed in color! I dreamed that as a child, when the series was still on, around 1980. It terrified me at the time.

One strange dream I had many years ago was prophetic in a stupid way. I dreamed I was sitting on the fantail of some yacht sipping a cocktail. Weeks passed in real life and one night I'm unexpectedly invited to go to some boat I've never been to or heard of before for a party. So I get to this boat(Yacht) and I'm sitting on the the fantail sipping a cocktail and I get this DejaVu feeling that I've been here before. Maybe days later I remember having had the dream before the actual event.
I think there must be some dreams that are universal. I had the flying bike dream probably 15 years before ET.

Last night, I had a dream I was kidnapped as a baby and adopted by Satan(I'm not kidding ).
The family consisted of him, his wife and about 10 of their own kids who were straight-up brats but loved each other. He wasn't evil like you'd think but was some kind of rich businessman who owned a big mansion. Many years later, my biological mother spots me while we're out and my whole family runs with me and hides inside a hospital elevator. But we get caught and the whole elevator car is fork-lifted out the shaft and dismantled. Since I'm an adult at the time, I decide I only want to visit my mother and don't want to leave my family.
Oh, did I mention I missed my dose of Effexor last night?
