I remember my dreams every night, and they’re usually nightmares. It often involves me getting sliced up. Or that I’m “watching” a horror movie about getting tortured and/or chased, but I’m actually IN the horror movie, and I can’t fast forward the movie, and I can see that the movie lasts for many hours, so I panic. And I often dream about my waist getting squished. Like the feeling of wearing a corset, but it’s impossible tight. And I remove my clothing but the feeling is still there. This one I consider a nightmare because it gives me anxiety. The nightmares doesn’t bother my sleep I don’t think. I still sleep through the night and have no fear of going to sleep, but it’s really scary and unpleasant and lowkey kind of traumatising to wake up after being hunted by a serial killer, and then I have to go about my day as if I wasn’t just almost murdered.

So are there any actual reasons for why we dream? Or remember our dreams? Are there any proven reason for why we dream what we dream? Or do anyone have any fun facts about dreams and nightmares? Thanks😬 I hate not knowing why I’m being terrorised in my sleep every night

I've been having recurring dreams about that aand it's exactly what it sounds like the characters are as following (name of character and what creepypasta/analog horror they are from) Sonic.exe and his variants (mainly 2011, sunky and rewritten) MX and burnt Luigi (Mario pc port and i hate you) Red and Solomon (nes Godzilla creepypasta) Goji,suitmation,tmk and vita Carin's mimic (Man in the suit, the automation trials and to much Kirby So yeah it's really random the most recent "episode" had red and goji playing super smash Bros for some reason.

Sooo yeah that's about it for now

On my way to write my exams, I noticed I forgot my student card. I went back to my room as I need it to identify me, as well as a bus pass.

I was in a hurry to leave, i stared at it briefly while walking out and I entered a lucid like state that caused me to remember my dream from the morning I didn’t remember, but knew I dreamt?. (In the dream i grabbed my student card and was about getting on the city transit before the scene faded away).

I was sort of trying to process what is happening, while sensing my intuition in real time, I felt very alive.

It’s kind of cool how much our dream states could serve as a guide into understanding and feeling through our world.

When I was 7, before grasping the concept of religion and spirituality (I was a very conscious child), I would sit with myself and experience states of being alive. And I had this sense of knowing that I was dreaming ? As in, my current real life where I have a human flesh, and have spawned as this character with this story is just a dream, it’s not real. I would cry to myself when I was alone that I wanted to wake up, and I just had this sense of wanting to escape, like I want to fly away ? Or di3 and wake up to my true self, I don’t really know how to put it. I always had extremely vivid dreams as a kid. I would predict the birth of my baby sister and brother after seeing vivid dreams of the events, which I would translate to my mom as well as the feelings the dreams evoked in me.

This thread doesn’t really have an objective, I just found it interesting how our dreams, subconscious, time, space and emotions can all collapse into one thing.

Life really fascinates me. I wish I could learn everything. I wish I could understand everything.

Our creator really did its thing !

I had a dream that I was in bed, sleeping. Suddenly, someone entered my room. Although I was awake, I kept my eyes closed. I could feel and hear someone walking back and forth. When I tried to look, there was no one there. Attempting to fall back asleep, I felt someone watching me through the window. Remaining still, I didn't open my eyes. Then, I felt someone climb into bed next to me. That's when I woke up - it was all just a dream.

In my dream I was walking up the porch of a trailer and when I would take a step the snow/ice under my feet would crumble and break and there would just be darkness under it. At some point in my dream I was jumping just trying to get to some even ground.

-I could not find any information on ice or snow in dreams other than it being linked to depression. Life has been stressful lately. Any explanations would be appreciated.

The dream was I was in minecraft and my friend disguised as a zombie was dancing outside my window and then he multiplied into many zombies and they were all dancing circling around my house and then I was so scared and hid in the corner. What does this mean?

Literally what I saw was a stillimage (like Stillwater but with image) of a mutilated old-style Roblox avatar, all of that, for like a second, all I saw was that 1 frame, and woke up

I had a bad dream, the dream started off as me learning about this horrible guy who would starve people in his basement and make them cannibalize each other, after that, we learned he lived down our street and wasn't behind bars, so we locked ourselves in these big dark rooms where he couldn't get us. Then It would cut to me opening a box and then after that, me watching an off brand low-budget show, and then I would be outside of my house which looked distorted in my dream and almost looked like a school, then would greet my mother in a deer costume on the street, I was planning to run to Canada or the perimeter of the borough I lived in in the dream, that's when the dream ended.

I have very vivid dreams so they usually don’t bother me and a lot times I can break them down and understand why what happened in my dreams did.

A lot of my dreams I can realize that I’m dreaming because I do things in them that I wouldn’t in reality.

A couple months ago I had a dream and there were a unfamiliar guy and girl sitting right next to me and all I remember saying was ‘but this is just a dream right’ and their heads instantly turned to me and just stared at me like they angry. Then my dream changed.

But it’s last nights dream I can’t stop thing about, I remember I was shaking hands with a random man and he goes “no we don’t shake our hands like that” and proceeded to use the same arm I was (left) and flipped his hand over and then shook my hand. That instantly through me off and I knew it was dream so I said “well that’s not how we usually do it, only in dreams I guess” and once again he just snapped his head at and he seemed really mad at first but the only thing I can remember next was his expression changing, like his hair and eyes got darker and his smile a lot bigger and he proceeded telling a ton of secrets about the world and I was asking him more questions and he was answering them.

But now it’s driving me crazy bc I can’t remember what he told me.

It was probably just a weird dream, but has anyone else experienced something like this in their dream pls lmk!!

I've been having this nightmare where Chuck E. Cheese appears outside my house at night. I look out the window and see him just standing there not moving and then he starts walking into the house. I run upstairs to my room quickly cause I'm scared but he enters the house, breathing heavily in a scary way. I can hear him moving through the house, so I peek to see where he is. That’s when he suddenly sprints up the stairs to chase me. I get scared and rush back into my room and I throw open the window to jump out. I land on the trampoline in my backyard but he followed me and he chases me back through the house, I start moving slower for no reason and I feel his breath on my back. It’s ticklish for some reason. Then he grabs me with his ticklish hands, spins me around, and I see his scary bulging eyes. I can feel his hot breath on my face as he opens his mouth, about to decapitate me and that’s when the dream ends. I wake up feeling ticklish and disturbed. What does this mean

so this was around 3-4 years ago but there was this summer where I was having super lucid and vivid dreams. and this dream has stuck with me forever since i had it.

i was in a car, sitting in the passenger seat and to my left there was this boy. i have no idea who he is. i look behind me and the car has several rows of seats. in the very back there is this lady with big red curly hair. she has electric blue eyes. bluest eyes i’ve ever seen it was surreal.

everytime i turn my head back she shifts one row forward until she’s directly behind me just staring at me with her big ass blue eyes. she has on a green striped dress and she’s looking at me her eyes super wide and goes “do you want him?”. i look over to the boy sitting next to me and start to nod my head yes and she starts slowly shaking her head no her eyes still super wide.

she asks again “do you want him?” and this time i nod my head no with her. she reaches out for my hand and when our hands touch she sends this electricity through my entire body. i don’t know how to describe just like a burst of energy. she’s smiling her eyes still wide and SO FREAKING BLUE.

i say “oh my god your hands” and she smiles at me and as this is happening i see a hand hold up the numbers “498” through the back window.

and then i woke up.

what could this have meant??

i did have another dream with another “being” who had the same blue eyes but he was a man and was a giant and had grey hair. took place up in the clouds. don’t feel like going into detail about that one.

So, this is recurring, but not consistent. I don't know where I am, but I'm suddenly being bitten in random places by snakes. I know I am dying. I can't get help. The main places are arms and legs. I try to shove them off but there are too many.

What I could find on search was people betraying me. I do feel as if I can't trust anyone. Sidenote: single single, like got cat lady package started (x2). Thoughts welcome.

I had a dream after praying the “Saint Micheal the archangel, defend us in battle…”, it was where I made a new friend, we were leaving a camp of sorts, we were waiting outside to be picked up when he saw a old farmhouse nearby and ran to it, I watched from a distance. The farmhouse had a red pick up truck outside with an older couple inside, but in the dream I could feel something off with them. Standing outside the truck was a borzoi wolfhound, and it did something awful to the boy, but I don’t know what it did. I ran over to the dog, to stop it or something, when I got to it it towered over me. I tried to swing at it, but couldn’t reach it, I tried yelling for help but I was too quiet. It didn’t hurt me, but it talked to me. I can’t remember what it said. I don’t usually remember my dreams, and I can’t stop thinking of this one, with certain details like how it was normal size until I was in front of it, or not knowing what happened to my newly made friend, only that whatever did happen was awful. What could all this mean? It’s all left me really unsettled

In 2022 I started having dreams that were extremely vivid color-wise and sharp. I need glasses in my day to day life and most of my dreams are at that sight level but now some of my dreams have been exceptionally crisp/clear/incredibly detailed. I am talking like Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) sharp. Is this a part of lucid dreaming or something very different?

I found a post on this subreddit from over a year ago about extremely vivid dreams. I tried to find a more specific subreddit but couldn't. Is there a subreddit for ultra vivid dreamers? I just am so tired spending my first few hours of waking up processing what's a memory and what was a dream. It's just so much and so exhausting and I'd really like a community who understands to talk to about it. I've literally never met someone IRL that told me they had dreams as extremely vivid as mine. It'd just be nice to commiserate with a community. And I don't know where to find them. Any tips?

i had a dream within a dream.

anyone know what this means?

Hello all! I have so many questions about how dreams affect different people. We are all wired so different. I have decided to start doing one a week so I don’t bombard this subreddit. So the question of this week:

Are you always yourself in your dreams?

I don't have many dreams but lastnight was weird.

I was in a house I did not recognize and had guest over I did not recognize. I was saying goodbye to everyone and the last guest was an older gentlemen he put his hand on my shoulder and said "you need to check your fridge." I said "excuse me, what do you mean?" He looked me in my eyes in a very serious tone and said "your fridge it's making loud noises, it's gonna burn and blow up!" I gave him a hug and then I'm not sure what happened or why I woke up but I did. Tell me why I heard a weird noise like a lawn mower in my house. I got out of bed walked to the kitchen and my fridge was making a loud horrible noise. I unplugged it and plugged it back in with no issues sine. It was the weirdest thing and freaked me out especially since it was the middle of the night.

I have a dream about a black worm in my son noise that is so scared of it

so good thing wake up and i was yelled at my girlfiends say help me

Okay, so there’s this guy I met during a summer job about 12 years ago, back in 2012, when I was 18. He was really quiet and reserved, and as it turns out, he had a crush on me. At the time, I didn’t realize it, but I had a crush on him too.

We ended up working together again in the summer of 2014. He gave me subtle hints—he’d stare at me a lot, sometimes so intensely that even other people noticed. Once, when we were alone, he walked up behind me and poked me to get my attention (I think he was testing the waters). He’d tease me and even held my hand tightly during a group game that required holding hands. I found it odd at the time but brushed it off, staying in denial about his feelings (and mine) for years.

After that summer we both moved on with our lives, and I eventually stopped thinking about him. The last time I saw him on social media, he was in a long-term relationship that lasted about 6-7 years. Fast forward to 2022: I had what felt like a lucid dream about being with him. It was so vivid and realistic that I woke up feeling emotional and shocked. I could feel everything; touch smell, etc. Right after the dream (around 3am ish), I checked his Facebook profile out of curiosity and saw, by coincidence, that his relationship had ended.

Here’s the thing—I never think about my crushes or their exes for this long. I’m usually over things after a year and a half at most, but ever since that dream, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him. I want him out of my head, but it’s been hard to shake these feelings. What are your thoughts on this?

I just recently started Prazosin due to consistent nightmares. However my dreams are still crazy vivid. But, definitely not terrifying as I would normally dream without being on the medication. Has anyone else ever taken this and still had really vivid dreams?

For two days in a row, I had a dream while I was awake, and I was crying and talking about how the world was ending, to doing math and comparing Dunkin to Starbucks. I ended up almost leaving the house so I could escape from "the end of the world"

I have no clue what these dreams are, or if they are even a dream at all! I had one before, but my dad made me go back to sleep.

A few weeks ago I was awaken by my gf screaming about seeing a figure with a mask come out of our bathroom across the hall to our bedroom doorway. Searched around and didn’t see anything but she surely saw something.

I don’t usually dream but when I do it is usually memorable. There has been two really odd nightmares since she saw whatever she saw. On the first instance I had passed out on the couch and had felt something touch my hand almost grab and hold it. I had thought I woke up and ran to our room to wake my gf up only to find some horrific doll replica of her and her hiding behind our door, I then hear something either in my dream or in my ear say my name and I wake up for real this time. The second instance I hear my gf screaming and run in to find a shadow figure moving in our bathroom I can’t really remember what else happened but I had eventually woke up thinking I was already awake.

Read up a bit and it seems like it is bested dreams perhaps I am still anxious about what she saw and trying to process it.

( don’t give me subconscious mind crap bc i don’t think that applies to me rn)

Okay I ( 20 F) had a dream about a guy I met at the bar. In this dream he broke his foot and so i offered to help him out joking saying “are we in love now, are you in love with me?” to which he responded “Yes”. So basically we host a dinner at his place and the main dish is a tiny turtle, like the size of woman’s hand and it’s like on a plate of like vegetables or something, like how’d you plate a turkey. What does this mean, turtles aren’t significant to me at all, i have seen one in a while also so what’s going on? Also I met this guy a month ago and i haven’t seen or thought about him since like about a week after I texted with him.

Hi all I’m new here ! I’m very passionate about my dreams, even going as far to being connected to myself and the earth spiritually. I’ve remembered all my dreams since as early as 5! Sometimes they come true. Sometimes it happens in a different way resulting in some Sort of dejavu. I’ve even seen faces I don’t know and I’ve had dreams where I was a man. My most vivid and scary dream was when I was pregnant and saw a demon whose face I pushed away! It must’ve been lurking around me and my baby during that pregnancy but I was able to fight him off. But how old were you when you had remembered your first vivid dream?

If this means I miss him, I don’t but I’m not opposed to seeing him again

so basically

im on a plane and then i like noclip out of the plane into a parking garage, and then my sister tells me im on some sorta mission and that i need to get my friends so i teleport into my neighbourhood, get my friends

and theres some big building and i open the door with my friends behind me, turns out its some weird biochemical weapon production thingy. dream goes third person, me and my friends now are super old. i ask them "why are you old" and they reply with "because you opened the door." and then the dream ends and i wake up

tldr: noclip out of plane into parking garage, sister assigns mission, find biochemical thing with my friends and turn super old cause of it

This was one of those dreams that waking up wouldn’t even interrupt. It was a slow collapse of the world over the course of a week. There were sinkholes almost like the storm in Fortnite. We went up to the mountains and ran as long as we could. I lost everyone and was eventually with strangers. The last day lava bursted out of the earth and I knew it was over. All I could think how I never imagined my last day on earth to be spent with complete strangers.

Once it finally got me, it felt like only a moment had passed before I heard a voice. It was a full reset and our souls were able to choose any vessel we wanted.

Been thinking about this all day. It felt so real.

Trigger warning M*er Sual asslt drs

Last night I had probably the most horrific dream ever. I was at a party, not somewhere I’ve been IRL but been several times in dreams.

It was totally debauched and awful, everyone there was evil and depraved, I knew this somehow. They kept trying to hit me, and one man grabbed me and sexually assaulted me. (grabbed my private parts) There were lots of people sitting in corners injecting drugs (I have never done this, none of my friends have, and I’ve never witnessed anything similar)

I wanted to leave, but as I went into the hallway, the front door opened and two men came in and threw a man’s dead body inside then ran away.

The body was covered in blood, his face was an absolute mess. I screamed, then a man from the party came and dragged the corpse into the bathroom. He propped the body up into a sitting position, then threw a white bed sheet over it.

He then grabbed my arm and dragged me back upstairs to where the other party guests were. There was a young woman sitting on the floor. She said that the dead body was her boyfriend, and that she was pregnant with his child. She was laughing and saying he deserved to die.

I asked her if she had planned her baby daddy’s death. The guy who had dragged me up the stairs said that she was expecting his child, and that nobody would suspect her of having her boyfriend killed, and that as far as her friends and family knew, she loved him and was happy with him.

I then had a sudden urge to have a pee, but I was scared to go downstairs to the bathroom because of the dead body propped up in there.

I went downstairs anyway, and saw a young boy about 3 years old outside the bathroom. I didn’t want him to see the corpse, which by now had blood stains soaking through the white sheet. I shouted for his mother (somehow I knew she was nearby ) She grabbed the boy’s hand, and they ran through the hallway into the kitchen.

I was totally panicking by now, in the dream, I knew this woman and child. They were both dark haired with olive skin.

I remember feeling a closeness to them, like we were related, and a sense of wanting to protect them.

I just felt such a sense of guilt, panic and remorse that there was a dead body in the house, and that they may have seen it.

I felt like these people were my wife and child. I have been traumatised all day because of this horrible dream. I have a lingering sense of guilt even though I don’t know anyone in this dream.

I have often had premonition dreams, and I strongly feel this was one.

I didn't see a dream for so long. Months, if not over a year. Suddenly, I have been dreaming every single day and they are kinda negative. From what I remember, I have killed a person in my dream and stolen money too. There were others too that I don't remember, and every dream I have had has been quite contrary to my personality in real life.

I am not a violent man; far from it. I tend to deescalate situations of anger/violence and I have never in my life kept a single penny borrowed from someone; let alone steal anything.
