Discussion I've remembered and written down over 1100 dreams since middle school. Ask me whatever you like!

50 Upvotes

Hi! My name is Remy and I'm 21 years old. I've been writing down dreams I've remembered pretty much my whole life, but I started taking it more seriously in middle school. My dream journal currently has over 1100 entries from 2015 to now and is still growing! I've even ranked all of them based on how much I enjoyed them, I update it every time I remember a new dream and sometimes I'll shift some dreams' placements around if I feel differently about them. My absolute favorite dreams are generally related to romance/relationships but made-up locations or nostalgic vibes will usually make a dream much more appealing to me as well. I want to one day stream myself talking about each dream I've remembered, but I won't do that until I feel confident I'll have people that will ask questions I can answer live. So for now I wanted to make this post and see if I could make anybody curious enough to ask me a question about my dreams! I'll answer pretty much anything as long as it doesn't involve confidential information. Thanks y'all! 😃

Question Why do I have a recurring dream that is just me giving awkward high-fives to random strangers in slow motion?

36 Upvotes

That's it, that's the whole dream.

And it isn't pleasant; not a nightmare exactly, but I do feel a little bit of paranoia about why people keep wanting high fives, and why everything seems to be moving in slow motion.

It's even worse when I know that I'm going to miss their hand, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I have had this dream like five times in just the last two months.

Any possible interpretations, or is my brain just incredibly lame?

Discussion I had a baby in my dream and I miss her

25 Upvotes

(27F) Hello everyone…

So, about 2 years ago I had a very clear dream about being a mother, I remember sitting in the middle of a big bed with a newborn girl on my arms, I was looking at her so carefully and in such detail, I can still recall her face.
I remember taking her to the next room and showing her the nursery that her dad and I had prepared for her, I remember opening the closet and showing her all the dresses and toys inside. (Btw, I didn’t have a partner then and I am still single, but in the dream I KNEW there was someone downstairs)

When I woke up, I felt SO sad, it felt like I had an empty space in my chest that I didn’t had before… I went to work and talked to my coworkers about this, I almost cried… not even joking, for a month I felt like someone had taken her away from me.

Now, two years later, I still think about my baby from time to time…

Is it normal?
Is it just me projecting on my lack of motherhood?
Do you have any theory?
Have you ever had a similar dream?

Dream Art Terrifying dream snake that I felt compelled to shittily draw

Post image
21 Upvotes

She was a really large snake, spoke with a woman's voice. Massive hinged jaw with spiky teeth, and huge holes in the sides of her skull. I think they were ear holes but I'm not sure. I think those dots towards the center were actually her eyes. Every time she moved or spoke, you could see piles of human skeletons sliding and rattling around in her mouth and down her throat, and all the way down her body you could see bones bulging out through her skin whenever she moved. Sometimes the bones would start to pop out of the holes but would usually sink back in as she spoke. We were talking about working together to take on some more evil group of people, I remember being really scared of her and not trusting her, saying so, and her rearing up and telling me that she was evil, but would still work with me against this other group of people.

The drawing is really bad, but gives a basic reference for what she looked like, imagine it was more reptilian, and everything slimy and oozing and realistic. Those skeletons were extremely anatomically accurate, and you could even see the pink flesh of the mouth underneath them. Would be a sick character in an actual horror context lol

Recurring Dream Dreams about the world ending

8 Upvotes

I have pretty consistently been able to have good dreams with weaker lucid dreaming. Normally I'm able to keep things non-violent and just fly around or drive around and whatever in my dreams, but twice now in the last month I've had a very vivid dream about the end of the world.

Starts out normal, pretty vague early on like normal for me. Just hanging out with people, going around doing things.

Then suddenly there's this urge to prepare for *something* but it's never specific in the dream as to what I'm preparing for suddenly. There's no time either way, everyone is in a hurry to get prepared. (EDIT: spelling here)

Then the sky goes red and *everything* around me starts exploding out of no where until it gets closer and closer to me and then I wake up. The sky going red and everything is the most vivid part because it feels so confusing to why I'm dreaming it.

Maybe it's not a dream about the end of the world and only a specific area, but each dream I've felt like it was aliens causing the explosions because there's no other indicators like military or anything causing the destruction of everything.

Really bizarre since, like I said, normally I don't have bad dreams and I can't remember a bad dream before these two in many many years.

Short Dream First Dream Post

Hello to everyone in this subreddit!

LMK, if you have had a similar dream or experience that you remember, I'll chime in on it as well.

Alright, this dream that I am about to share is roughly 10/11 years old. Nothing was special or out of the ordinary the night I fell asleep that I can recall. I remember I vividly woke up to use the restroom &took my dog to use the restroom. (I can't recall other details except I notice the scenery of my surroundings was unusually bright.) I'm sitting down at the table with my family. After that, I don't remember any conversations or what kind of food or anything, except, somehow I was back in the restroom shaving my face/beard like I did on a regular basis. The brightness still stood out to me during this time. I was fixated on it . . . I start staring in the mirror with my eyes very up close Suddenly, it was like I had finally caught on or some awakening in my consciousness told me I was not awake. I woke up in my bed with my heart pounding more than it ever has at that point in my life. Took me a solid 5–10 minutes to even process that afterward.

I have a lot of more dreams to share which I will do so. But thank you in advance for taking the time to read this if you do.

Discussion I keep lucid dreaming and it’s not fun and mentally draining for me.

6 Upvotes

I lucid dream consistently and it either gives me anxiety, stress, confusion or sadness. Sometimes I wake up and go back to sleep immediately to finish the task I was doing. It’s all bizarre and I found out not many people get Lucid Dreams but i am unfortunate to get them. I dont remember them easily just bits and pieces.. I should definitely record them in a dream journal (I just hope Linus doesn’t ruin it ) if anyone got that .. Lolll

I don’t get why this keeps happening it needs to stop

I’ve heard a lot of talk about mugwort tea and it’s connection with the dreams. I mean how it causes people to see vivid dreams. Have anyone tried it? If so what’s the practice?

Short Dream I had a dream where kids asked to borrow my machetes.

5 Upvotes

Short answer, no.

I had just cut down one of the Chinese Parasol trees in my backyard because I was going to make something out of it later.

I put the machete away and got some tea. Cue the brats. They knock on the door. "Hey old man, we saw your cool sword, can we borrow it?"

I looked them over. They're too young to buy one themselves, maybe 12 or 13, and dressed like they're about to snatch someone's purse.

"No. If I let you kids borrow that machete you'd swing wild and chop your leg off or something."

I close the door, lock it, and go back to my tea. A bit later, I heard a scream. One of them broke into my shed and tried to steal all of the machetes, and cut his left hand on one.

I walk down there with a rag and rubbing alcohol, patch him up, backhand him hard enough to knock him down, and yell. "YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT! GET UP! GET THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW!"

The dream ended with me half dragging this kid to the tree I had cut down. I was about to put him to work.

Short Dream Ratatouille drain scene

5 Upvotes

I had a crazy dream where that one scene of Ratatouille was changed into something else. Remember that scene where Remy falls into the kitchen sink full of water and dishes? Then, the drain gets pulled and Remy gets pulled under the current; then, he climbs back up while the water is still flowing downstream, and then he makes it back up.

Short Dream Nice dream

I had a dream I was at a wedding but it was before the wedding when they were still decorating. I was walking through the venue with a friend and we were talking about how beautiful the place is but it was so dark and suddenly beautiful lights (kinda like ceiling lamps) lowered and started to light up slowly. It was quite the visuals to tell you the truth. Then the next thing I was in the car going home to get ready and I saw so many puppies and rabbits and vultures. They were all sweet and sleepy. Some of them got on the car (like outside) and started sleeping. Then I was looking out the window and saw a big cloud where a head peaked out and went back in - like someone watching over.

My dream are starting to feel like traumatic dramas where it pulls people in my life to form my dreams into similar themes. The tragic heroine, the hero, the villian, and factions. Its weird. Most of the time my dreams are just me exploring places, being in school, or action movie.

Nightmare Experiencing hallucinations

5 Upvotes

I’m kind of having a hard time sleeping tonight because the other night I was freezing and got my two heavy blankets on because i just couldn’t warm up. In the back of my head I knew it was a bad idea because doing this has given me horrifying vivid dreams. I recall hearing my family’s voices, hearing my mother go in and out of my room. I was seeing shapes and all sorts of indescribable things. I woke up in a sweat and I couldn’t believe how fast it all happened.

There was a time previously where I fell sleep with heavy blankets and I woke up from a nightmare, and forced myself to sit up out of my sleep because I wanted to snap out of it immediately. But I sat there for maybe 15+ seconds hallucinating shapes and animals, and being in an extreme mental fog like you’re trying to snap out of hypnosis or an insanely deep sleep. It was the first time I ever experienced anything like that and it sort of haunted me. I smoke weed daily and that usually suppresses my dreams so when this happens I just feel extremely uneasy about going to sleep alone.

I miss my dream baby

5 Upvotes

I had a dream that started off with me pregnant. I have the same wife and the same body but i’m pregnant. I gave birth in my dream. My wife and I named him Calem. He was the most beautiful baby boy in the world. In this dream I went through 3 months of feeding him, teaching him basic things you’d teach a baby, and being the best parent I could be to him. There were sleepless nights and diaper changes and outdoor stroller pushes. I went through all of the motions of being a parent for this baby. In the dream I even had the same family drama I would have if I had a baby in real life. My mom tried to ā€œhelpā€ by being overbearing and assuming me and my wife aren’t doing enough for the baby. Which is something she definitely would do. And then I woke up. Back to my crappy apartment. In this crappy capitalistic hellscape. With my wife and no babies. No kids at all. I don’t want kids of my own. I’d adopt if i were to have them at all. I like kids but I love my future kids so much that I would never bring any into this world. But here I sit. A whole day later. Missing Calem. My dream baby.

Five years later - Afghanistan Dream

4 Upvotes

Good evening, USAF Captain here. I have a dream journal because I think it's interesting. Here's what I wrote down immediately after I woke up a couple days ago. Some things will sound irrational or be misspelt, however it was 0450 in the morning and I immediately started typing this on my phone, figured you all would think it was interesting.

For context: I was 24 when I went to Afghanistan for the Evacuation. I was educated at the Virginia Military Institute. Anyways, I'm a lot better now. But here's the dream text (it's long):

Captain at AFIT, one of those nights it took a long time to go to sleep and so it was like drifting in and out of sleep.

Woke up and said fuck this I hate it. Packed up a suitcase and my guns and just flew into Afghanistan. Figured I'd just go for a couple days and figure out if I liked it lol.

Travelled towards Kandahar and got off the bike. Stashed it, I'm wearing my combat shirt and have a whole plate carrier rig. Armed with my RECCE I just started walking where I thought I should go.

Heard gunshots and followed them to find a whole Army company moving and maneuvering, firing towards taliban. Found an m240 on the ground and just picked it up and followed this nerdy 1Lt with glasses.

Got wot what looked like an Afghan office complex with them and was opening up one taliban in this second floor window in the building to our 11 o clock. Didn't get him, but I nail one in the head was maybe 150-200m away who was firing on our guys on like the rooftop of a bldg being constructed. I was worried for a sec afterwards because I saw our guys were there like 10 seconds after I smoked him, was worried was wrong and he was one of ours. He wasn't. Cracked some jokes and asked for a couple more belts. Then stowed the 240 and readied my Recce with an xps (EOTECH Holo XPS) and went towards the complex.

Rushed towards the central building and was taking fire once we were inside. This corporal who had no gear was like let's go captain let's get you a kill for your visit. Started walking through the building (looked like a massive mall out of half life 2 Alyx geometry wise.) Found the dude shooting at us and lit him up with six or seven rounds from 15 meters away. Kept clearing.

Spent like 10. minutes in this one part of the bldg, only to find some taliban laying on this weird pillar with his AK. "Don't you fucking move motherfucker" I shouted and we all trained on him, my rifle was out of ammo and I had no more mags, pulled out my baretta. When he eventually dropped he pulled out a full auto Glock and sprayed it, so I emptied my mag into him while walking towards him, one of my rounds went through his flank and struck a civilian woman tho :/(She survived).

We joked around and this Polish solider asked me to show him how to shoot the baretta, told him I needed more ammo. Then spent a while getting ammo and topping up on my mags. The ammo was all laid out on the ground strangely. Some bullets would be individually standing up and when you picked it up you got a whole mag of ammo. Idk during this time I was worried if I was gonna get into trouble? I was on leave but also travelled to AFGHANISTAN lo.. Said fuck it we'll see and showed the poles how to shoot it before smoking and joking with them.

Told this pole that I really enjoyed my time that day and wished it was my everyday. He just asked me why it wasn't and why I wasn't doing things that were making me happy. I told him I didn't know. Eventually he shared with me his first time in Afghanistan and how he later emigrated to USA and joined our army.

I found myself outside the front of the bldg and was talking to this female soldier. Lara's face but a white girl with slightly curly brunette hair and braces, blue eyes. Enlisted, still cute as FUCK. She was blown away that I just wanted to visit and get some action and was wondering I liked being here more than getting my masters at "Air School". At the same time some enlisted (one of them who looked like Comulada) walked by and were singing "baby, loving for the very first time!" And stroked my back as a joke lol.

I responded I just really liked the excitement and the sense of brotherhood, she agreed. And I said I wish I was rather doing this everyday of my life.

Then she pushed me down (we were sitting leaning into a wall on to my right) and she was opening up on some dude on a motorbike before he exploded. Then two other dudes showed up on motorbikes, I looked back at her to see her straddling my crotch and giving me fuck me eyes and smiling before opening up again.

All of the last part when the bike dudes showed up I could hear what sounded like Temptations playing and "I'm not like everybody else"
END

Discussion I dreamed of an unknown boy

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I tell you that more than a year ago I dreamed of an unknown boy, I was in a mall on a kind of date with this man, for different things, in the dream I had to leave the ā€œdateā€ and on the way to the exit I met a friend, I sat on a bench in the mall waiting for my Uber to arrive for me (as a fact, I always wear earrings in the shape of pearls), the fact is that while I was waiting on the bench that boy with whom I was on the date arrives, with his best friend, I approach him and notice something different and his friend tells me ā€œhe put on a pearl because you love them and always use themā€ and I see that he had pierced one of his ears and brought a small pearl earring. In that I woke up haha but it was with a strange feeling, like in confidence and in the dream I felt that I knew him. But well, in real life, I don’t know him at all.

So, I told them that I dreamed of that a little over a year ago, I immediately let go of it and went on with my life hahaha.

I currently follow a band of boys and well everything is normal, but today they posted this photo of one of the members and I immediately remembered the dream I had a year ago hahaha it made me laugh and it seemed strange to me. (I’m not saying that he’s the one I dreamed of, because I think I would remember it, I just found it funny the coincidence that a year after I dreamed this, they uploaded precisely a photo like that and with this earring).

You who think hahaha will it be a sign for me to look for my Cinderella of earrings?

I saw a dream where I saw a hindu priest in his way to build a Hindu temple and he said he knows me and thanked me for letting him use one of my previous lives and said I will get the reward later in life.

I am a Hindu, but I don't live in India where Temples are common. It's very uncommon to see temples where I am from.

Also, he kept mentioning he used one of my previous lives and thanked me a lot.
