Snail Humans

WARNING! A bit gross.

I woke up in a cold sweat a month ago and wrote down this dream i had. (The parts were split sometimes, but i’m proud of my mind for actually making the story make sense in chronological order lol)

Starts off with being in the first person of an 18 year old girl walking down a snowy, empty, eastern european street. She’s just looking slightly to the left when an old rusty green 90s car rolls up and hits her. She/You roll up onto the bumper of the car, there is no roof so she/you then rolls further into the right seat/floor. The dude driving is quite short, and chubby and he looks at her confused and also menacingly. She then somehow manages to do some backflips and then lock him in the back of the car. Dream then cuts people in a forest, specifically to a third person perspective of a guy similar to the crazy evil blond dude from the hunger games in the big group. The main guy here in the dream is also in a group of roughly 4 more people, two girls and two boys the age of 19 or something, all together they are a group of 5 young people hunting for people (they are snail people). They then walk around talking about random things until they reach the car where the girl from the start beat up that guy from the start. She is now crouching on the ground and the dude is still in the trunk. The group of 5 are like, ooh noice. This is where i think it got disgusting, because the snail people get their nutrients from humans, and the group of 5 then suck the juices out of the dude in the trunk out from his ear (yucky yucky)🤮. He is now also a snail human. He breaks out of the trunk to get revenge on the girl from the start, but she roundhouse kicks him and gets an applause from the group of 5. They then kick the dude in the trunk and set fire to the car so he dies, and then the group of now 6, (they adopted the girl from the start into their group) they now run to a school. When they reach the school they walk in and strut past all the 12 year old students. All the students are in a military line. The group the walk into the big gym hall, and walk to the end of the hall into the little storage room. They then yell to all the students to come into the gym hall because the group are snail people and now they will eat them(i don’t know how this part made sense). The students are rightfully terrified and sprint into the gym hall, where the geoup of 6 now release a bunch of bees that kill the students. Then i woke up to jot it down. I don’t know either. Bye.😘

Human Experiment dream?

So I had this dream last night where we were hunting this supernatural beings as a job or something and we were hunting the top of the top monster more of a ghost like entity. The younger sister of that thing was in the group she was like the captain of the squad, pretty face but damn everything else about her just screamed Sabertooth from X-Men. We were killing all these mutated looking generic zombie goons and later we fought the boss, at the end of the fight there was the backstory. Apparently everyone is injected with some sort of mutagen to survive in the now post apocalyptic world where there's less food, oxygen, water, etc. And this mutagen makes the majority of people into these supernatural beings with mutant powers. The captain later finds out that her sister 'top dog big g monster boss ' never took the mutagen in the first place and she just staged the chaos to wipe out the effect of the mutagen because unknown to us, the world was going back to normal. The realisation scence happens when the captain goes berzerk from the mutagen and her sister tackles her sister into a large fissure to save us and neutralize the effects without interference, this scene looked dope in my dream. She manages to do so and bring her back up and that's about when I woke up. Lots of gory deaths on the team because unknown to the captain and like 5 of us those other guys were part of an organisation who was keeping the information of the world regeneration a secret so the big bad boss(the sister) ripped them apart pretty brutally along the time we got to her.

The Rick and Morty Movie Dream

There was once a rich man whose daughter was dying from a terrible cancer. This man had contacted Rick to save her life... and Rick refused.

Decades later, the man asks Rick for help once more and is convinced by Morty to listen to the man's plea. Rick even takes the entire family as a part of some strange family vacation. The desperate man lives on a former resort planet that had been quarantined due to the terrifying reproduction of his daughters cancerous cells as a result of her mysterious cancer variant, which now cover most of the planet. As a result, he has converted the planet into a scientific research center. The Smith family is personally invited to his mansion on the island to talk.

Rick is reintroduced to the man and his dying daughter. While Rick is initially willing to help the man's daughter and even deal with the giant tumors covering the planet, the man assures Rick that this isn't a pressing matter and invites them to enjoy his hospitality as if the planet were still a resort location as a show of good faith and thanks for Rick finally answering his desperate call. The Smiths initially enjoy the vacation Rick has taken them on, but eventually Rick has had his fill and wants to move on by helping the man's daughter and the tumorous growths. However, the man tells Rick that his assistance actually isn't needed. His daughter actually died some short months after Rick's refusal to help. The young lady that the Smiths have been interacting with was actually a clone of her the whole time. A clone with which the man has an inappropriate sexual relationship (for the rest of the movie, various excuses are given for why this is actual OK before that excuse is immediately subverted, leaving the Smiths bemused before the eventually agree in the last act that no matter what, it is definitely creepy and it doesn't deserve anymore of their thought than that). Additionally, while the man originally implied that they also could not figure out how to solve the rampant out of control tumor growth enveloping the planet, they've solved that as well.

Frustrated, Rick asks why he was even invited there. The man then begins to explain how they plan to deal with the tumorous growths: they've made a planetary barrier that will stop any cellular matter from escaping the planet. Then, they will destroy all living tissue on the planet with a concentrated laser blast from a satellite. Rick was invited to the planet to die.

Rick tries to just portal away, but it fails. The man tells him that he has been planning this revenge for decades and found a way to stop Rick from using the portal gun using the same technology he used to create the barrier around the planet to prevent the cancerous cells from escaping.

Now, it's a race against time to attempt to find some way to disrupt the barrier before the Smiths are toast. After a series of tense action scenes scouting around the area for any way to disrupt the signal while being hounded by the man's goons, Rick finds a way to temporarily disrupt the signal and escape with his family while the man's goons are in hot pursuit. As a result of the heated pursuit, the Smith family becomes separated and they must find a way to reunite and escape their assailants before Rick can portal them somewhere safe. In the confrontation, Rick gets separated from the portal gun. However, Morty is able to use the portal gun to help the entire family escape. Unfortunately, they figure out that they've been tricked: while they were separated, Morty was replaced with a Morty clone that the man had prepared in advance in case it would be useful for defeating Rick. That Morty clone brought the family back to the planet. He even taunts Rick, stating he figured out that Morty is his greatest weakness and that he had everything planned out from the beginning, including making the barrier only worked one way.

With the barrier reestablished, and the Smiths out of time and resources, all they can do is ponder over the man's weirdo relationship with his cloned daughter in their final minutes of life. However, when all hope is lost, Morty appears. Once he had been split from the family, he saw the other Morty walk through the portal and realized what had happened and went to work trying to figure out how to help them. Morty crashes a spaceship into the structure on the planet that was generating the barrier, permanently deactivating it. Then, the Smiths are able to escape using the portal gun as the villain and his cloned daughter are killed along with all cellular tissue on the planet.

A dark focused, grindhouse-ish dream about hunting down child sex slave traders

A) I am inside a hotel with a couple of my fellow agents, we had word that traders were gonna smuggle in a dozen kids so we're on the lookout for anyone suspicious. We spot a couple people who have walkie talkies on them, we're undercover so in civilian clothing and we act normally while making sure to stalk the suspicious peeps, we even switch places between agents so the other peeps don't catch on. Suddenly I'm in a flight of stairs from a floor above and I hear one of the guys talk on the walkie talkie confirming the kids are in. We have enough to go after them but we have to keep the other traders from finding out if we catch one of them. I and three of my men run to the trader and catch him but before we can snatch the walkie talkie he beeps a code to them and the others scramble and the rest of my agents aren't able to catch them.

B) In the chaos and confusion the kids (who are all anthros, aka furries) escape from their room, eventually making their way to a conference room where something is underway. The oldest kid tells the rest to stay put before she runs to the podium and begs for help while pointing where the other kids are but the guy at the podium looks and says there's no kids, and when she turns to point where they are they're suddenly gone, and nobody seems to have noticed them disappearing. The operation is considered a successful failure- we rescued one kid and arrested one of the traders.

C) The next day some homeless kid walks into our station and hands us a key with a number, saying that a man in a car paid him to give us the key. Somehow I already know where this key is used and I open a locked box that has a cardboard box in it, and when I shake it it feels like papers so I bring it back to the station. Inside are gory, grisly photos of what happened to the rest of the kids we tried to rescue. They all died violently.

D) The dude we caught was literally tortured by our interrogators and we have a list of a couple traders and their whereabouts and I'm in a car trailing a van driven by one of them, and after a wild chase I catch up to the perp but we get into a gunfight and I end up killing him. That's another failure but inside the van are all the "tools" they used to kill the kids, shackles and all, still bloody.

E) Some unspecified time later I'm on the track of another trader and corner him into running back into his home. His mother runs out swinging a iron cast pan but I block it with my forearm and it falls to the ground. I grab it but the mother is still trying to hit me so I swing it at her, causing her head to get dislocated from her spine and she just goes splat on the ground. I run inside gun drawn to go after the trader and theeeen I woke up

9 out of 10, this was one of the most focused and cinematic dreams I've had in a long while. It didn't focus away from the plot at any moment.

If only a bear could kill (part 1/5)

(editing this so I can include thins about me so as to help gain insight for people) I am 18, male, I'm native American and Italian and german in nationality, I live in Maine, I am currently in a boat with the stomach flu or somethin, yesterday I vomited and thought I was gonna die. This dream probably has nothing to do with any of this though, because it's all about things I'm personally interested in; films, mafia, advanced technologies, etc.

this dream is a real strange one, i’ve tried interpreting it but it seems too detailed to be a dream about change or events. My dream begins by browsing youtube, it looks like 2009 youtube because there wasn’t any gaming videos floating around. i stumbled upon a video called “If only a bear could kill (part 1/5) in it, it’s set up like a documentary, it’s about the real events pertaining to a film The Rock starred in recently, along with Weslie Snipes, and director John Landis. What happens? it makes no sense. In the video, 2 cops are approaching a scene where cops are everywhere about to blow this bear away, the bear had completely destroyed this house, furniture and wood everywhere yet no bodies were seen anywhere. I thought “well, i guess this bear sucks at killing people “ until some narrator voice goes on to say “The man who Dwaine acts as is found miles away on a raft in a river. Cops retrieve him and find out he’s been heavily sedated. Why is this?” and suddenly it feels like some sort of conspiracy typa deal, where it continues to show the bear was placed at his home by some mafia types. And the guy who supposedly The Rock is acting as, the dude literally looks like him only except he’s darker and shorter. The retrieve him and bring him to the bear, where he avoids getting attacked and saves his kids (the real guy) but then it shows the alleged film, the narrator continues, “In the hit film, we see how nearly exact they execute the scenes with the use of advanced robotics technologies to make the bear seem as real as the real thing.

i wake up for an hour and fall back asleep where i dream of watching part 2, but i never saw what the other 3 videos were about.

in the second part, come to find out The Rock and John Landis split the costs for the Advanced robot technology and they came under fire from the Mafia (the ones who sicked a bear on the guy), they were at an award ceremony, but the weird thing is that John and the Rock weren’t even shook by these Italians who were heavily armed and threatening them. The robot comes out and fucking kills the mafia guys in mere seconds, it was vicious and brutal and John and the Rock laughed their asses off. Then it cuts back to the events of what happened to the family. they hid in the bathroom while the bear tore apart the house, the guy was put on this raft days earlier because he didn’t pay back his debts or something.

I'd say it'd be a 8/10 because it was only a documentary about a supposed film.

it ends there, not abruptly but i was sweating upon waking up, and i always remember my dreams, which is why im able to share this. if anyone wants to take a crack at interpreting this, go ahead.

purposefully induced movie-like noir dream

I used the WBTB technique to achieve my goal of a noir-style detective film. The real dream started out similar to my inspiration. The italicized parts are the black-and-white parts.

The jazz music was playing [it sounds like from the Oscar-nominated short-film The Phone Call], the rain pitter-pattered against the hard pavement, and Detective 9SK was sitting in a restaurant,wearing his classic trench coat and brown top hat uniform [in third person view], drinking his usual cups of tea. Suddenly, his psychic powers informed him that someone was in trouble!

I rushed to the crime scene, (accidentally forgetting to remain in black and white for this specific part) where there were four people there, but only three suspects since one of the persons was the victim. He had his pet stolen and he needed to get it back. I inspect every corner of the crime scene, the curtains, the windows, the floot, etc. I find three clues together, but I conclude that the clues point to the wrong person, in fact, the least likely suspect (based on evidence alone) was the true committer of the crime. Though the motive was not pinned down, the true culprit was caught.

Glad to have accomplished something, I went back to the bar, walking on the streets, still wet, where it was no longer raining, and the weather seemed to be improving. However, I suddenly realized the "bittersweet ending" (more of ironic humor in this case) usually in noir films-- my wallet was stolen! Amused, I exit the bar, ready for this new case...

I had a dream that I think was based on a horror movie I haven't seen

It was not a movie I think I have seen, rather one I have heard of. It came late at night and I woke from it at 5:40 am. Essentially in it I observed a Saw-like trap. A woman runs through a maze in what must be some sort of abandoned building, until she reaches a large room with a wire fence secluding the middle part of the room. Inside the wire fence is large amounts of razor wire, and a woman chained up. When the woman running through the maze arrives in the room she collides with the fence, causing some kind of trap to be triggered, and the chains and razor wire thrash about, mutilating the woman as she screams horribly. She doesn't die though, and ends up caught on wire and bleeding screaming for help. The other woman doesn't know what to do, so tries to pull away the wire fence, triggering the trap a second time. It seemed to go on for a long time until I woke up. During the dream I was disgusted and horrified but I couldn't look away. anybody got ideas about what caused this or what movie I was thinking of?

my dream that could be made into short horror film with some tweaks to remove the weirder parts [x-post r/dreams]

If anyone wants to make this into a fucked up film you can have all rights to it.

So it began with me at a park. I meet a girl and we talk a little bit and I give her my Grandpa's address for some reason. As she leaves one of her fingers falls off.

Then, I'm at my grandpa's house and for some reason all of my family except from his side up is there.

For some reason my mom is a shrimp (Which is a recurring aspect of my dreams). She is in my grandpa's bedroom in between the pages of a book called "The Lizard Who Fell From Hell."

Everyone is talking and stuff and then a group of people arrive. They look human but unnatural sort of. They all sit down and then they get less and less human looking as time goes by. One of them is a goth chick who looks like she's been stitched together with different people's body parts, one of them being the girl from the park's finger. Another one is a lizard person. A bunch of them are super skinny and a few are super fat. My grandpa says they are from his side of the family and that, since he never had a son, me and my siblings aren't like them.

Then things suddenly went to shit and they all attacked us. The goth chick started sawing off people's arms and the skinny people (that other people were calling Wendigos) started eating people. The lizard guy pinched my arm then tore out one of my veins and slurped it like a spaghetti noodle. Then my grandpa's arm got 5x bigger and he said "Hahaha! The claw!" and then fucking tore out my spine (It grew back a moment later).

At one point one of the fat people came up to me and I asked if they were going to eat me and they said "No, I'm here for the repository!" and then one of the walls vanished and instead there was a conveyor belt leading to a place with tons more of the wendigos. He laid down on the conveyor and as he went by more and more of the fat ones jumped on and the skinny ones tore them apart and ate them and the whole time the fat ones were giggling.

Later my cousin said "GET YOUR MOM! SHE KNOWS KARATE!" so I ran in the room to open the copy of The Lizard Who Fell From Hell that she was hiding in. When the lizard dude saw it he said "Hey man! You know that book is about me, right?" Just a second after I let my mom, a flying shrimp who apparently knows karate, out of the book the roof turned into the ocean and a boat sailed by and grabbed her and went off.

Later me and my cousin were the only non-monsters alive and we ran to the car and we drove away. The whole time I was driving she was yelling at me and saying it was all my fault.

Then I woke up and cried a little bit. I'd rate it a 7 on the dream to screen scale. It'd make a good short project for anyone who wants to try a horror film, maybe remove the mom shrimp and stuff.

I had a dream of a Quentin Tarantino movie (X-post from /r/Dreams)

I just woke up from this dream and my god, it was cool! So I had a dream of a Quentin Tarantino movie which starred Toby Maguire and me in it! The other actors I couldn't recognize them. Anyways, back to the movie. Toby Maguire and I were approached by this fellow with a black attire. He said that he was visiting an old friend and that he needed help. Toby and I accepted the offer and off we went. Finally, we arrived to a white hacienda. It was pretty cool. A couple came out. An old man dressed in white and a beautiful young lady that looked about 20 years old. The couple greeted us warmly and the man dressed in black did the same. We went inside the hacienda, and inside was white too. But it was weird because it looked futuristic. We went inside this white room that had stairs and an opening to another room with an oval shape. Btw, the hand rails in the stairs were black. Oh, and there were some kids toys scattered around. Anyways, we were in that room and they began discussing things. Things were pretty normal until the pretty lady left. Once she left, the guy who approached us confronted the guy in white saying that her daughter couldn't remember anything and that he was taking advantage of her by having been married... THAT PRETTY LADY WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THE GUY WHO IS DRESSED IN BLACK! I was like... Oh shit! Toby looked at me in shock as well. The man dressed in black told him that the accident that he had with his daughter made them two suffer from amnesia. He regained his memories back but her daughter didn't. This happened 5 years ago! I was getting uneasy and toby was getting kind of mad and fired up. Then the man dressed in white said that if we didn't leave, he would have to take drastic measures. We didn't move and we stayed there. He then said very well and went to ring a bell. The moment he got up and turned his back on us, the guy took out some guns and gave it to us with some ammo. Toby got a revolver with a long barrel but had multiple barrels. Like 4. It looked like a steam punk weapon but looked pretty badass. I in the other hand, got a normal pistol. The white guy rung the bell. The guy dressed in black, said well fuck you and shot him. I was like OH MOTHER OF SHITS! Toby was like woohoo! All of a sudden, cowboys dressed in black came in and shit hit the fan pretty quick! I was shooting and getting them fuckers in the head, arms and knee caps. More came cowboys came and we were outnumbered. The guy dressed in black got shot. He was stumbling for cover beneath the stairs. His daughter then came and stood upstairs near the handrails. The guy dressed in black reached for her hand and pulled her down. I THEN LOST MY SHIT. They were both dead and it was just Toby and I. Fucken shit. I went to search for toby but he was wounded. He actually was able to hold himself pretty well. A couple more cowboys were left and approaching Toby. I quickly went to him and started shooting them. I then carried Toby and he started coughing blood. He kept on shooting at them and some mysterious big guy came to our aid but couldn't see the ending and woke up... It was a pretty cool interesting dream. I was watching Inglorious Basterds before going to sleep and pretty excited for The H8ful 8 and The Revenant. Oh, and I aspire to work in filmmaking and acting. So maybe that triggered that dream. Anyways, it was a great experience! :D

The Apple

I caught the golden Apple.

"Don't throw it!"

Right. Throwing it from one person to another was exactly how it had landed in my hands, each toss being intercepted by opposite sides. Instead, I wrapped my hands around it tightly, obscuring the glimmering flesh from view.

A clay cat brought to life bounded up to me, it's purr grating on my ears.

"What does it do?"

Bathet shook her head. "I will not tell you."

The cat rubbed against me, trying to tempt my hands away from the apple.

"What does it do?"

Baphet shook her head. "I will never tell you."

The cat batted my hands, claws retracted, threatening to extend them, trying to scare my hands away from the apple.

I wrapped my body around it, protecting my hands, and stomped my feet against the floor. "Thrice I ask and let it be done. What does it do?" I shouted.

Baphet sat on her haunches and the clay cat whimpered and backed away. "You will not be tempted."

I climbed to my feet, still holding it tightly concealed within my hands, and stared at her.

"It flays the skin from your bones and your are reborn with unimaginable beauty."

My breath is caught in my throat, and I choke on it. "In truth?" I run back down the hall, friends and foes paused in their struggles with each other to stare at me. Just inside the front door stands a woman, my squad leader. "In truth?"

She glares at me for almost a minute while everybody else holds their breath, before nodding once.

I stumbled to a halt in the middle of the floor, my eyes catching on glimpses of gold between my fingertips. "Like Adonis?"

Only Baphet has moved, only coming as close as she had been at the other end of the hall. "Yes."

I gasped, and she looked at me in surprise.

"You are tempted?"

Woman can turn back time by means of physical exercise

It must have been shortly before I woke up. I immediately thought this would make a good short film.

Here's the dream: There's a couple with a small child. The child dies in some kind of accident. Weeks/months after her child's death the mother finds out that she can turn back time through physical exercise. The end of the dream was the mother walking calmly into her cellar and stepping on a treadmill to go back to the day of the accident. She does this every day to slowly creep towards this moment.
