Had a nightmare. Decided to share it.

I've never jumped into wakefullness from a dream.


Never.

Before now anyway.

I've woken up crying, I've woken up almost laughing, I've even woken up and wondered if im actually awake or not because my dream had consisted of waking up and going to the toilet but never actually getting there, but repeated fifty thousand times.

I swear to god this is why dreamcatchers are a thing, my dreams never get this bad when i have one.

Started off pretty typical. Weird situation, feels normal, missing certain dream qualities so even though im unusually free thinking for a dream it feels particularly real.

Brother took me to a store to replace the batteries in his xbox controller. I went down an escalator and saw some dream mates (in other words they dont exist in real life but we were friends apparently)
We went house shopping.

Then my dream switches and im living with my grandparents, i learn about this cool crepe maker that i thought was just a fancy milk pourer, and then im living with my dad cause the house hunting went bad.

House had a history. Some girl was raped and killed in the very room i was sleeping in. This detail became very important later.

I had a fight with dad, wandered off into the night and i get picked up by some lady who claimed to be dads mate, hed already said a mate was going to pick me up earlier so i believed her and got in the car. Which looked more like it belonged to one of mums friends than dads but i guess dad can have some poor friends too... I guess.

She drives and i just get comfy in my seat. She tels me we aren't going anywhere, just cruising around town so i can cool off since im clearly upset.

She starts talking about how she feels bad for me, how terrible i must feel about moving back in with my parents after fighting it for so long. And having to live in the same room a girl was raped and killed in. That must feel dreadful and scary.


And all those hit and runs happening in town.

there's a kid on a bike on the road ahead of us. We're stationary.

I started to feel unsafe, her tone of voice and that this conversation is completely unneccesary. I began trying to come up with ways to politely ask if she can drop me off home then fuck off.

she's talking about the hit and runs.

How terrible they are and how the parents must feel and those poor children!

she's looking at me.

Then she looks back at the road and starts the car.

The kid on the bike has drifted to the middle of the road. Its the middle of the night but it didn't occur to me to wonder why he was there and not home.

The woman takes one more look at me before the cars moving.

And the bike is over the roof, and the kid under the wheels.

I woke up then. Jumped awake. I've not been able to get back to sleep since.

So i decided to share this.

  • We all have some really terrible dreams don’t we? I had a dream where we entered this old house. And there was a nasty spirit in there who kept slamming doors so that we couldn’t leave. And there was this baby in an old pram, the spirit was shaking the pram violently to scare the child. So I grabbed the pram to stop the spirit. And then I grabbed the baby out of the pram and ran to the front door. The spirit tried to keep the door locked but I just jumped straight in and opened the door and got the child out. When I woke I felt good about myself for what I did for the child.

  • Wow if you can remember your dreams that well, it means your sleep cycles aren't functioning well. Usually we remember our dreams near the end of our REM cycle, so right before you wake up. I'd get it checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. Right now to calm yourself down before getting to bed, I recommend listening to ASMR videos. Especially the ones about sleeping, and relaxing. Trust me, they'll do miracles until you can get a doctor to check your sleep cycles checked out.

    • I've always had vivid memories of my dreams. Had one where i was running through a (stereotypically canadian) forest and i probably couldve counted how many trees i passed had i cared to when i woke up (i had it when i was six. I was too busy being scared that a wolf was gonna eat me to care how many trees i passed) Now and then Ill wake up wondering if it WAS. dream or if it was real. Now and then i decide it must have been real and then later make a fool of myself haha

    • Wow, that's crazy, you should really get to a sleep doctor as soon as you can. Your dreams happen in REM sleep, and if you can remember your dreams, you definitely aren't getting the right brain waves and sleep cycles

    • Im seeing my psych on Friday. Ill talk to her about it.

  • I can never remember that much my dreams hope your able to sleep again

  • Did you sleep better tonight?

    • Tonight hasn't happened yet. But i doubt i will. My stepmothers decided to be an imature fuck and completely invaded my privacy so im feeling pretty violated right now. Not looking forward to the dreams THAT will bring.

    • I hope that you do sleep better and believe me it will go away I had a bad spell and my problems went away

    • My problems will go away the moment i move out. Can NOT wait for that day.

  • Wow, that is actually, really creepy

    • Its fucking terrifying. I didn't explain it properly (then again you kinda can't. Its a dream) but there was a hell of a lot more suspense and she actually had a bit of decent psychology going on. She ran a fence down at one point, though played it off as an accident and that made it okay, then drove ove some tire spikes and asked me to check if she had any holes in her roof cause she reckons she did (she didnt). Also commented how i just about broke her windscreen jumping like i did when she drove over the spikes. And shed been about to take me home cause i seemed to jumpy to be out in a night when she spotted the kid on the bike. Still talking about the same stuff i mentioned. But we werent stationary before she spotted the bike.

  • Last night I dreamed I had to piss really bad, and couldn't find a toilet anywhere.

  • Mannnnn
    my dreams suck

    • Why? What do you dream?

    • Low resolution nonsense.
