Disturbing dreams, nightmares

Do other people wake up paralyzed sometimes? I do that frequently...it's like my mind wake up before sleep paralysis wears off. It's really disturbing when you wake up that way and a sheet is over your face so you can barely breathe, but you can't move or scream for help or anything, you just lie there willing yourself to move but you can't.

I have the same type of dream.Are you sleeping on your stomach? When I have this dream, I am sleeping on my stomach & I feel as if Something Wicked This Way Comes.......

On A funnnier note, I had this dream that 2 female wrestlers(Weight lifters) had me pinned down in a shopping cart & I can not move..........Woke up w/ the covers wrapped tightly around me

Ive been having the same dream for about three nights now. Im being chased by a huge friggin' bumble bee, the size of a silver dollar, and trying my best to get away. But because Im wearing black and breathing really heavy the bee just zeros in every time and stings me on the scalp. Then I wake up. Last night was a bit different, I had a baseball bat, which I dropped and ran like a sissy!

Ive had that happen once before, I had thought someone had borken into my house and was pinning me to my and getting ready to kill me. But after a second or two I woke all the way up and realised that my blanket was all tangled up.

Berz,

Interesting story, if a bit unsettling.

Berz is freaking me out!

Good story.

Last night I dreamed that I owned a coin (either £2 or 10FF) which could sprout legs and form a sort of robotic spider-coin. For some reason I trusted it enough to let it crawl onto my arm and around my back. My brother was in the dream as well, and he also had a spider-coin, but it was the size of a dinner plate. I remember feeling smug that my spider-coin was smaller, and thus technologically superior.

That isn't all either, I know this sounds really weird, but when I was in the Moab area there was this family that had built a home in a hole in a rock. It was actually quite nice with modern conveniences and was somewhat of a tourist attraction. Well, anyway, for those interested in mythology and ancient practices, the ancient Jews, and I suspect other peoples in that region of the world, had a bizarre practice where one man seeking approval from the tribal elder or chief would kneel at the elder's throne/seat and place his hand on his penis as some sort of sign, God only knows what, perhaps a "covenant". I think it was an act of subservience or something, but it was kind of like a handshake today...well...kind of .

While I was near this family's rock dwelling, I looked up at a rock outcrop and there was the distinct image (carved or "natural") of a man kneeling by a seated man with his hand in his crotch. Now, it was kind of difficult to tell what his hand was doing there, but it did make me think of the Jewish custom. I'm not sure how I saw the image and others had missed it since it was ~100 feet tall, maybe you had to see it at the right angle and have an open mind. You know, kind of like that Seinfeld episode (the Hitler episode) where Elaine's boss, Mr Pitt, keeps trying to see an image semi-hidden in a painting but he just can't focus (or unfocus) enough.

Or maybe I just read about the practice beforehand and saw something that reminded me of it, sort of like visualising images in passing clouds. But seriously, it was there, not a figment of my imagination. Hell, there are all sorts of images I could have dreamt up and seen in rocks. Unfortunately, I'd have to do some wandering around to find it again, but at least this one was close to Moab and paved roads. Man, I'll tell you, that area is very, very strange.

Yes.

In my case I had to do an exam that day, I was studying in my dream when suddenly I realize I can´t move, not even a finger, my breathing gets difficult and I´m desperate trying to shout for help! But it´s useless... then I woke up

The weirdest dream I ever have had probably has to be the one where mutated coca-cola sixpacks try to take over the world. There were a number of them, but all I remember was that one of them sunk ships by surfing and one (which, for some reason, was female) danced in people's beds, causing the water level to rise (yes, inside the bed) and eventually drowning the person.

For some reason people tend to look at me strangely when I describe this dream.

(I think I had it when I was aged 10 or something.)

/me stares at Stefu strangely...

Yeah, but when I do it, I'm actually awake and usually not on my stomach. I just can't move for several minutes after I become conscious. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that I'm not entirely awake yet and my mind panics because I can't move. Eventually it goes away, although slowly...even when I start to be able to move again, it takes a lot of effort for another minute or two.

I had a dream last week in wich I was in a jungle, and suddenly a Giant Tiger with three eyes starts to talk to me and he tells me that he is God.
The tiger also told me that the Virgin Mary was his sister and that the devil was the son of the Virgin Mary.

I did not feel scared during my dream but when I woke up I was feeling evil and guilty because of dreaming such blasphemies.

Berz,

That sounds like an interesting area to visit, esp if you are into eating snakes


Sandman,

Like Sava, I've died in a dream..

It was during a period where I was dreaming of nuclear bombs once every two nights or so. This one landed in the sea after we saved a girl from some drug delaer (he was cooking up some bright red liquid on an outside stove ??) and the "wind of fire" r whatever it is came and swept us all... I woke up shivering, even though I wasn't cold.

My nightmares mainly features spiders, I dunno why, I'm not agraphobic, but as soon as my subconcience decides it's nightmare time.... it rolls out the spiders.
