post your weird/memorable dreams here.

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where people post their dreams (supposing they can remember it).

I had a really funny dream the other night where Lorde (yes, the singer) somehow crawled through my window into my bedroom. Once there I asked her what she was doing and she said she's in my town to visit our graveyard. I then asked her if she wanted to see my comedy writing excerpts on my computer and I kept trying to pull it up, but the computer kept having problems and she laughed. That's about all I can remember from it.

It doesn't even make sense because I don't listen to her except for Royals and Tennis Court. Although she does seem gloomy, so maybe the graveyard thing is about right.

When I was a kid I once had a dream where I was naked in a Target store. I was in the hardware department.

Spoiler Thanks a lot, jerk. :

I was in the Himalayas, inside a huge, tiled cavern. A tall Indian woman I used to know was there, in a 1930s-style aviator's outfit, like Amelia Earhart or Charles Lindburgh. She had given me a ride up the mountain in her zeppelin. At the center of the cavern was a well, and rising up out of the well was a big sphere, a tangle of circular metal bands all spinning in different directions in a way that looked impossible. I knew this device controlled the Earth's rotation - if it stopped spinning, the Earth would stop spinning. I also knew that I had arrived ahead of some villain who intended to tamper with the device, and I had to figure out how to stop him, but I didn't have any weapons. I don't remember who the villain was, what he was planning to do, or what would happen if he succeeded.

I found myself in a big, futuristic city, at night. I didn't know where I was, and I didn't know how I'd gotten there. The street was crowded with people - not extraterrestrials, but clearly not from Earth, either - and I could see a massive, block-building of black metal and green lights. Overhead a monorail train zoomed past, the kind that hangs down under the rail like a gondola lift instead of riding on top like a normal train. I walked into a tiny sushi bar, one of those little commuter places you see in Tokyo train stations and department stores, with a dozen bar stools behind a curtain. There was a strange-looking woman who recognized me as being American; she asked me if I was from Philadelphia. I wanted to ask her what the hell was going on, where I was, but I lost her in the crowd.

In the first part of the dream, I was in a submarine, doing submarine things.
In the second part of the dream, I found myself in a mental institute. I was able to escape when I discovered I had Telekenetic powers and smashed everything into little bits.

I dreamt Jesus had returned, and turned out to be a fascist/nazi. His followers would great each other with the sign of the cross morphed into the nazi salute. The concentration camps, they claimed, were the epitome of Christian morality: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat" (2. Thess 3:10).

I had a very memorable dream last week. I had a sword and was fightig in a castle. Then there was a feast with a king who told me I was doing a great job protecting his land and castle, but now that he was back I could go home and I shouldn't expect a reward just for doing my duty. I said this castle is my home and challenged him to a duel, he declined and I kiled him anyway. I think there were also shapeshifting spies involved.
It was obviously about my job.

There was a period in my life when I was experimenting with lucid dreaming. I never quite mastered it, but this dream happened a couple weeks after I "gave up" on trying to induce any more lucid dreams... IIRC.

It is important to note that this dream happened in very late January, 2003.

In my dream I was watching the news on TV with my family.. Something important was happening in central park, New York. It was a space shuttle launch. I looked at the TV and then somehow got sucked into it. The dream turned incredibly vivid as soon as that happened and it became partially lucid. I found myself on the roof of one of the skyscrapers right beside central park, and looked around. There were other people on the roof I was on, throughout the park, on other skyscrapers, on balconies..

I must stress that this was an incredibly vivid experience. I've had 100% lucid dreams before and they weren't as vivid as this. In this particular dream I did not have full control.. but everything felt just so real.. I could feel the energized atmosphere around me.. I could feel the anticipation.

There was a countdown and the space shuttle started slowly climbing up into the sky.. but then there was an explosion.. and next thing I know it starts going sideways and flies into a skyscraper.. more explosions, skyscraper parts falling here and there, hitting other skyscrapers.. People screaming, running.. Chaos.

I was really scared.. I had nowhere to run.. but fortunately that's when I woke up. I jumped out of bed and sat down at my computer. I went to ICQ and wrote my dream out and sent it to a bunch of friends. I NEVER do things like that.. but this was just such an incredibly vivid dream. It was full of emotion. It touched me in ways no other dreams in the past managed to. I had to write it out, so that I wouldn't forget.. It moved me enough to want to share the story with a whole bunch of my friends.

Two days later it was a Saturday.. February 1, 2003.. So I could sleep in.

I woke up to the phone ringing over and over and over.. I didn't want to get it. I stayed in bed.. I love sleeping in on weekends. Eventually I got up and went to grab the phone.. It stopped ringing right before I got there..

Ah well, I stretched and sat down at my computer.. .. .. a whole crapload of messages on ICQ.. TONS of messages.. .. .. The phone rings again before I have a chance to check any of them. "Dude, you need to turn on CNN".

So I do. The space shuttle blew up. I checked my ICQ comments. People were calling me a prophet.

To date that was the most vivid dream I've ever had. Incredibly eerie coincidence, I've never experienced anything else like it (except for that incredibly vivid dream about the world ending next week .. .. just kidding)

Recently, I had the idea of using Queen to wake up in the morning but it was on repeat when I was momentarily woken up. When I immediately went back to sleep, I dreamt I was in some place in Asia or something, maybe a library that was built on the side of a hill like in Hong Kong but Queen's Breakthru was now playing in my dream so I was rocking out as I left the library. Whether the dream people walking by me were trying to ignore me or didn't care, I don't know but it was cool to have Queen play in your dream!
