What sort of sex dreams involve spiders!?!?!?

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

Serves ya right! Should have been worried about the real enemy.

I had a dream that I managed to find love which was really weird...also I seemed to have a level of self-confidence that I just don't possess in life but possessed in my dream which I wish I had normally

I also dreamt that I learned how I was going to die...in my late 70s bonking a 19 year old...what a way to go

And I get recurring dreams related to my job and stress, and I know it isn't healthy...like I just get frustrated because I can't do any work or get anything done and everything just builds up and it makes things worse, or I oversleep by hours and hours and panic about work...what does this mean?

I dream of Kristen Kreuk. I pity the lot of you.

I have a dream now and then that I actually failed a class in High School and that I am forced to quit my job and go back to take that one class or else they will take away all my degrees!

I always having disturbing dreams.... I've gotten used to them by now. But there have been three that have particularly frightened me... I mean FRIGHTENED me when I woke up.

The first was very realistic. My girlfriend and I were lying in bed together in my actual room (normally in my dreams i think its my house but its really not)... and she lives in MD but she was coming up in a week, so that must've been why I was dreaming of being with her already.... anyway, so we're lying in my bed and a car drives by and the lights flash on the wall and I jumped for some odd reason.

And I said "Oh, that's just me being a scaredy cat again..." And then I felt this vice-like grip on my arm.

And she said, "No, there's someone here... over there!"... She points into the darkest corner of the room behind the dresser (where someone could kind of fit) and as she pointed I woke up and found myself looking right at that corner... it was a perfect transition from dream to reality, and a seamless transition from clean to soiled shorts....

And THEN in another dream, I dreamt I was talking on the phone with my friend Nicole and we were talking about how the world was ending... I don't remember the exact detail, but somehow, nuclear war had broken out... I'm pretty sure I blamed it on Bush, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, but it wasn't a full-scale, nuclear winter kind of war... it was just enough that it might tip the global warming irrevocably toward destruction. For whatever reason, the next three days would determine whether we'd be facing extinction within a few weeks, or whether things would get really bad for a long time and then improve.

And it wasn't looking good... I turned on the TV and electrical storms were breaking out everywhere. There was a news reporter who was at the scene and suddenly he went running for cover as a tree burst into flames.

Power outages spread throughout the cities... they had to conserve the energy for some reason. I was with my father watching everything go black and I asked him if he thought everything was going to be alright... he just shrugged and said he didn't know.

And then, as with all disaster situations and black outs, came the looters. We heard windows breaking in every house... my father told us to let them take whatever they wanted. The important thing was that we were safe.

Well, somebody came in... three men, and they had no intentions of being nice. Actually, they were very nice but in a mocking sort of way because they knew they were going to kill us. They tied us up, loaded whatever they wanted into their truck... and one of the robbers I recognized. I talked to him and it turned out we had a mutual friend (the mutual friend exists, this guy did not). And I was hoping that if I got in good with him, especially since he seemed to be the blood-thirstiest of them all, that we'd be spared.

He was ready to spare us, but the other two came back inside and said it was time. They picked me up first and pushed me down onto my knees. I pleaded with them that this wasn't necessary, and then the shot me... and I woke up...

Not very plausible scientifically speaking, but when you're dreaming, you don't think about that. Scared the hell out of me.


The last dream absolutely TERRIFIED me. When I woke up, I had to call one of my friends because I was so friggin' worked up by it. This was another "end of the world" dream, but not entirely.

It started off that we were at the height of our times. Commercialism was in full swing, democracy was on the up and up and it seemed like nothing could go wrong... and then... it was very specific in the dream, but I don't remember now what it was, but some kind of technology was undermining the whole thing... I was seeing this dream much like Nostradamus was supposed to have seen the future (not that I think he did). Sort of a Billy Pilgrim sort of shifting through time...

They said we could never fall, and then we did. I saw supermarkets where the food was rotting right in front of me like time-lapse photography. I saw a news report about how this technology destroyed an entire building, but that it had miraculously saved a woman's fetus and the fetus would live on... sort of a double-edged sword kind of thing. Whatever it was, it was destroying us and we didn't even know it.

And then I understood that within a few years, this society would be gone... billions would be dead and only the most ruthless would survive. The world had become a barren wasteland. The last part of the vision I remembered was being in a hospital... a filthy disgusting place. Bombs were exploding all around, and I was slipping on all of the blood.... it covered the floors, the walls, the ceilings... the instruments on the trays were butchering tools, not medical ones. I could hear women screaming and babies crying. This was the future we had assured ourselves.

And then I was in a complex, a sort of stronghold, a technological marvel, years into OUR future, before the Fall had come. And they were saying how we were safe... and then the guns started going off... the people began to panic. Our shields were holding, but then somebody... I don't know who, sabotaged them from the inside, and THEY were upon us.

I woke up right after that.

Lots of nuclear war in these dreams...

I think the only time I had a dream with a nuclear weapon involved was one where I was giving a lecture and aliens beamed a hydrogen bomb into the auditorium in an attempt to assassinate me. It worked.

Congrats, you made me spit up my soda in a room full of people...

followed by Round 2 by the God being Woody Allen story.


I actually had another dream where I was fighting the undead in a modern-day city... could've been London. Actually, I think I remember lots of British accents, although the people who's house we started off in were Brazilian. But they were like "snobby, everybody in the family including the baby has a cell phone" brazilian. And the daughters were hot... it was too bad one of them turned into a zombie... not like that's ever stopped me before!

Anyway, so the battle began! We were fighting thousands in the open streets... and for some reason, Commander Data was there, and it was pretty easy for him because he didn't have to worry about turning into one of them. And I think I had a big sword.

And I remember going into the more industrial area being chased by them, and Legolas started shooting them down one by one. And I climbed up onto the side of the building... I had now apparently become Spideman... (not really). And that other elf who got killed in Two Towers was there... and I was like "Man, aren't you dead?!"

Bastard didn't answer... after that it started getting weird though, and I don't remember much.

Some other weird dreams:

I've had a couple of end-of-the-world/nuclear war type dreams, but one sticks to mind. In it, the French(!) nuke my home city, and as I'm wandering through the streets, there's some kind of a cleaning-up robot that attacks me. There's a strong feel of computer game. In another dream, a comet or a meteor is hitting the earth, so I spend the last half-hour surfing on Poly. (I don't remember the discussion topics, though.)

Then there was one dream where I'm in my grade school, except there's some kind of a cult there. The cult is led by John Lithgow, and their purpose is to wait for the aliens to land and then have sex with them. The cult members (I know some) are preparing for this purpose by having sex with each other and various other things, including a giant squid. John Lithgow tries to make me join, but I decline and leave, so just outside the door I get attacked by two members and wake up as I'm fighting them off.

I've also had more than one going to the future-type dreams. I only remember a snippet of one, where I'm looking at an encyclopedia-like book, which tells me that New York is an independent nation and a tiny neighbour to Norway. (This dream is probably prophetic, methinks.)

In the earliest dream I can remember, I had a mirror with naked women walking through it. Seriously. Why can't I have dreams like that any more? I rarely have sex dreams, and when I have, they almost always are either really, really freaky or end just as the goin's get good. Hell, in one of them, just as things were happenin', I thought "This can't be happening, this must be a dream" - and promptly, despite furious efforts to resist, I woke up. I'm a sad, sad little man.

In one dream, I'm escaping some kind of a large, city-destroying monster (It wasn't really a nightmare as there wasn't that nightmare anxiety) and, realizing it was a dream, really really wished for a car. I got a little toy car that looked like a turd.

In one dream, I was on the run from a bunch of teddy bears that were trying to kidnap me. As I was trying to get to sleep (in the dream), the teddy bears would come and try to put candy in my mouth that would make me sleep. The weirdest part of the dream was that next night, it continued from the last night from where I had woken up, though I don't remember what happened that time.
