Belle, that dream probably wasn't very fun, but it sure sounds funny! lol Danny Devito of all people!

When I was a kid I dreamed my mom told me not to go into the woods behind our house. She said there were black panthers in there who would "steal your face". And in the dream we were in the backyard and I could see the panthers looking out from the wood with bright green eyes. They were blacker than black, as if their bodies were black holes.
One of the creepiest dreams I've ever had, which is probably why I still remember it years later. Gives me goosebumps just writing this.

Exactly my thought when I woke up from it!

I keep having dreams where I'm being told that I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing, or not doing something I should. But when I wake up I can't remember exactly what it is, just a sense of being disjointed and out of sync with my self.

I have dreams of levitation as well. It takes a lot of concentration sometimes, but if I have to get out of the way of something it becomes more instinctual. Like Thyme, I also dream of jumping from rooftop to rooftop, usually very high, with the wind rushing past me as I rise and fall.

How about nightmares?

I had a recurring theme when I was younger of trying to hide a dead (and usually decaying) body. I'm not sure if I killed this person or not, but I was definately trying to conceal evidence. Usually the body would be underground and I'd either be hiding it there or moving it from there to somewhere else, having to crawl through tight tunnels in the earth. I'd almost always be caught in a cave-in, being buried face to face with the corpse. Sometimes, that's when it would open its eyes.

Yeeeeesh!

I don't remember my dreams very often, which is probably good because practically every dream I have seems to involve trying to get away from being killed by something or someone, usually purloined from a film I've watched, and I know that if I don't escape I will die. I think in every case, my inability to escape is because I am unable to fly away, and I believe that I should be able to fly away, but I can't, for some inexplicable reason, so I spend most of my dreams running around jumping off of stuff trying to fly away. Sometimes I get a few feet into the air, but mostly I just come back to earth and the chase continues, until I wake up that is.

Since about the age of 9, several dreams have been recurring frequently, elements of them sometimes crossing over into each other.

1. Sea Monsters
I have not any idea where this comes from, but I have an intense irrational fear of sea creatures both existent and nonexistent. With some of them, it is the way they move (as with octopi). With others, it is the seemingly malicious alien intelligence (as with some deep sea fish like the viperfish). Whatever the case, similar creatures feature prominently in my dreams as my last sight before waking. Normally I wake upon being startled, captured, cornered, or eaten.

What particularly interests me, though, is that it is never at sea, but almost always in a canal system of some kind, only about forty feet wide, but hundreds of feet deep, with every turn a right-angle, obviously artificially constructed.

Occasionally it is a natural river-like body of water, in which case the creature tends to resemble an extinct relative of the crocodile, the name of which I cannot recall.

2. Flying
Well, of course, everyone flies. All I find noteworthy in my case is that it is usually night, and if I keep going upwards, I encounter nothing but a ridiculously extensive series of cloud layers, working up into one endless sea of water vapour with minimal light.

3. The Complex
It seems that all of the structures I encounter in my dreams are somehow connected to this single massive structure. Whether it is a house from my childhood, the house in which I currently reside, an old school, a fictional mansion, a cottage on a lake, a farmhouse, a dojo, a temple, a warehouse, or even a tent... there is always a method in it through which I can reach the Complex. It may be a particular door, a mirror, a location in the floor, and so on. Irritatingly, I never remember them yet usually stumble upon them again.

The Complex itself seems to be a vertical structure, of which I have never seen the top (or the exterior, for that matter) yet frequently witness the bottom. The interior is dark, and composed of a precise network of criss-crossing metal rods and beams and no stairs, making it traversable yet quite hazardous. The walls are lined with doorways through which all the structures may be accessed. Sometimes I have simply jumped (or fallen) down the centre of it, which concludes in a funnelled opening which drops me into the right-angled canals through which my aquatic aquaintances lurk.

I sense presences in the Complex itself, as well, yet I do not believe that I have ever seen them. I am under the impression that they are patrolling the doorways.

4. Being Stabbed
My second most common death, after being eaten by something in murky water. Usually occurs by the person leaping on me and strangling my throat while stabbing my torso in the front or back. Good times.

I experienced both of those incessantly while I was very young. Practically every night for four years. Never since then, though.

There is also one dream that I experience every time I have a fever, and it is the only dream I have while under a fever. I usually fail to explain it in an understandable manner, though, as it involves no visualisation -- only tactile sensations, auditory sensations, and an accompanying state of mind. I will not even try.

i had this as a kid too (maybe it's just called fever?) even if i'm a very visual person, with fever there were these weird 'tactile sensations', something like the contrast between heavy-light, big-small, sharp-unsharp.

I once had a dream about Gliding over the world, It was all vivid blue and green, with glowing strobing spheres where those echelon surveillance sites are supposed to be. Strangely, at the end of the dream I glided over a pure white Antarctica with such a strobing sphere at the south pole.

I occasionally have trivial dreams in first person, then much later what happened occurs in real life!

Eh, I have some weird dreams. Kinda like David Lynch movies. No sense at all.

It always irritates me that I wake up as soon as I get hurt/shot/stabbed etc in dreams. I'm like, "But that dream was just getting good." I guess thats common though because I remember a popular saying a way back was "if you don't wake up when you get killed in a dream than your dead for real." _ thats parahprased because I can't remember the exact saying

When I was about four years old (it was before I started school) (yes I can remember that far back) I had a recurring dream about an orange-haired clown that took children to a factory, removed their brains, and replaced them with robot brains. He had caught all the kids I knew, and the dream involved me being chased by, and hiding from, this clown. Weird, eh?

Same here, I had around 5 I think in my whole life. The most memorable one was when I jumped so high I left Earths atmosphere Strangely I came back down. With a safe landing I might add lol.

I remember discovering a massive crystal like structure under the ocean in one of my weirder dreams.

Wow...I had a very similar dream a few years ago. There was a huge faceted crystal in a lake. The crystal opened, and inside it was a beautiful swan. I have no idea what it meant but I remember the crystal was very beautiful and refracting(?) rainbow colours in the sunlight.

^^^ or something about swans not being on the game list ?

Shoot my swan would ya?

I forgot to mention that the swan was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle.
