Nightmare Thread
I have created this thread to discuss nightmares. Below I will share one of my more recent nightmares and what I think it signifies. I encourage you to do the same and perhaps we can help each other in determining what our nightmares truly mean.

When the dreadful cries of demons disturb my otherwise tranquil dream, I lay asleep in my bed helpless to change the course of my dream which has now become something like a gloomy nightmare. Gone are the lighthearted songs of birds, the laughter of friends and family, and the distinctive and soothing sound of the wind gently passing through the branches of willow trees; my entire field of vision is now distorted, perhaps because my eyes are filling with tears since I know that my dream world is no longer serene but instead hellish. I can only make out faint shadowy figures in the distance which is where the cries seem to be emanating from. The sky has gone from a bright and sunny blue to a dark red hue. This is not where I want to be in my moment of rest. "You will not destroy the dream world I've worked so hard to construct from my real life experiences and collective fantasies you demons!" I shout, but the shadowy figures which march ever closer toward me ignore my words as if I had not spoken at all. Their intent is clear to me. They wish to drive my happiness away. Everything I hold precious they wish to destroy: my friends, my family, and my garden where I spend afternoons calmly looking up at the sky. I can't let them succeed. "I must not let them succeed," I think to myself as I watch the foul beings march ever close. The demons, which only appeared as shadowy figures before are now clear to me. Yet they aren't demons at all, they are people. Just as I can start to make out their specific characteristics, I suddenly awake in a confused state, left wondering what exactly the significance was of the nightmare I had just experienced.

I believe that the obscured demons which I eventually discovered to be humans represent the extreme elite in our world; those shifty souls who place money above everything and would sell their souls if souls could be sold. The kind of people who work to rape developing nations and instigate conflicts in developed nations through "news" organizations. How many times has the phrase "class wars" been mentioned on newscasts? Also, I think the fact that my nightmare ended just as I was about to identify the faceless foes is significant in that the sinister elite tend to be shrouded in mystery. We may be aware of some of these sociopaths, and we may even know their faces and their names, but we do not know of all of their plans or motives. When pharmaceutical companies release drugs which later prove to be harmful or perhaps even fatal, I'm left wondering why they didn't conduct more exhaustive research. Perhaps money was yet again placed before ethics. And when real attempts are made to clarify the events surrounding 911, isn't it curious that all the media can talk about is the latest celebrity scandal. Or how about when Walmart is making billions off of slave labor in developing nations or when scientists are being paid by Exxon Mobil to downplay or flat out deny global warming?

I am afraid that the demons (people) from my nightmare are all too real.

i had a dream that me and my friend were in this jail that was like...above a lake that had a bunch of waterfalls and was always stormy and crap, and we finally figured out how to escape but inorder to we had to get on this raft and pretty much fall out through the waterfall and we did and we were falling like 200 feet to the water. Then i was on the water and something was biting my ankle and it was this small bald headed ....head...that had sharp teeth and black beady eyes so i kicked it off.

then i was a tool concert.

and then i woke up and saw my power was off.

not really nightmare, but it all left me feeling prettttty weird.

The only dream I remembered for more than the five minutes after waking up was this one...

It's the end of my freshman college year, and I'm getting ready for finals. The school has an automated program that shows which finals you take when. I look at the sheet, and there's a final scheduled for a class I didn't know I had. Haven't been to the class all semester, don't know a thing about the subject matter, haven't met the professor or even been in the building the class meets in. I don't remember the rest of the dream, but yeah, that's probably a nightmare.

Please stay on topic; this isn't a thread about "neo-atlantes." Anyway, I wish to thank LinKami Deschain and Matt_M for sharing. While your dreams may not qualify as nightmares in the traditional sense, they made for interesting reads anyway.

As for your dream, LinKami, perhaps the fact that you were imprisoned means that you feel you have done something wrong which merits punishment. Then again, it could be nothing. Escaping from prison is a common scenario in popular culture so you could have simply pieced that detail into your dream after watching a movie or television program dealing with the subject. It's interesting that after escaping from prison you ended up at a concert.

Matt_M, your dream seems very familiar to me. I think everyone has had a similar dream at one point another where we discover something that we have totally neglected, feeling a very real sense of panic as we scramble to fulfill whatever duties we have ignored. That feeling sometimes makes it out of the dream momentarily as we sit in our beds after we have awoken and we have to remind ourselves that the worry was not real and that everything is at it should be.

You haven't had a nightmare until you've experienced multiple cases of severe sleep paraysis in a row.

lol, i think that everyone who makes such remarks against neo-atlantis all feel that their intelligence is threatened by him, because i see no reason why he should be hated so much. I think most of you guys just don't have the intelligent capacity to appreciate such a way with words and language. I like his posts. you guys suck.

2 nights ago i had this odd nightmare / dream


okay so i was caught shop lifting and instead of being sent to jail, was sent to some army boot camp. during one of the excercises i screwed my ankle up really badly. i was taken over to the drill instructor by other people from the training. well apparantly if i wanted to go to the medical facilities id have to ask the drill sergant... so i asked him to which he replied (in a very full metal jacket kinda way) "do you think thats a worthy enough ask to see the nurse". so i shouted back "SIR may i go to the medical facilities SIR"... then he replied in a cowered voice, "all you had to do was ask, no need to shout"

okay so im stretchered off to the medical facility, and the nurse is melissa joan hart. so she looks at my ankle then hacks the thing off... and it felt so real, i was in so much pain, then she undid my flies and began with the sucking of my penis, i enjoyed it but asked why, and she said oh this is to get rid of the pain..


then i woke up Frown

but yeah i really dis-liked, but also liked this dream.

The only nightmare I can vividly remember is the one that Matt_M describes of having a (final) exam for a class I have not studied for or have come to the deadline of an excersize/report/assignment I have not done.

They still happen sometimes when I'm nervous about an exam, and when I wake up I really have to reassure myself that I've done it anyway.

I only once lived that nightmare, when I was in highschool, was in bed - but not yet asleep - and then suddenly remembered that the next day a 10 page report for History was due. I hadn't done anything about it at that time, so I had to spend the entire night till my normal waking up time (7 AM) to finish it on time. In the end, I got a C for the report. Maybe this event is the cause for the nightmare to still recur.

And then ofcourse there is the 'falling' experience. I usually can't remember my dreams, but every once in while I wake up with a start, only remembering that I had just dreamt that I started falling into blackness (and the feeling of falling is very real) and it never stops (until the waking up).
I think more people may have experience with this dream/nightmare.

PS. Linkami Deschain - it may be unnessesary to hate on this poster so much, but he posted a lot of crappy threads among some interesting ones (like this one) and was warned and banned several times. He/she should take a hint.

I have never experienced sleep paralysis and I hope I never have to experience it. I can only imagine how frightening it must be to wake up and be unable to move freely.

It is rather amusing that your drill sergeant was taken by surprise when you shouted your request to seek medical attention. Also, the treatment you received for your injury was a bit extreme. No less than amputation for a sprained ankle. I suppose the fellatio quickly put thoughts of filing a lawsuit for medical malpractice out of your mind. While I honestly don't know what to make of your nightmare Olmer, I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. Thanks for contributing.

I think you did remarkably well on your 10 page report considering you completed it from start to finish in one sitting under a sever time constraint. Even so, I am glad I have never had to live out that specific nightmare as I don't think I could muster up the courage to deal with the daunting task of tending to something I neglected for so long. The outcome would definitely be less than favorable.

Additionally, although I am sure many have had such a dream, I cannot say that I have ever had the "falling" dream which is a bit strange considering the fact that I have a minor fear of heights.

At any rate, I want to assure all of you that I am not a returning member even if I may share some similarities with a former member. While these similarities may make the notion that I am a duplicate account plausible, such similarities are hardly proof positive that I am posting under a duplicate account. I will try not to speak of this matter again.

Have you ever seen in star trek where the ship is under attack and all hell breaks loose inside the ship. Lets just say I had a dream where I was there and a console blew up in my face. I don't remember a lot of details, all I do know is that I have been watching too much Star trek voyager lately.

Anyways, last night I had a dream I was wrestling this chick like the one from The Grudge. I ripped out like half of her hair since her flesh was all rotty nasty and gouged our her eye but she used her powers of lust to seduce me and ended up biting off my tongue.

It was pretty scary in my dream I swear.
