| I used to always have nightmares I was being chased. I meant to look into what the psychological root of that was but never did. Only happens once in a while now. |

I disagree, but if that's what tickles your fancy...
Are you learning to troll from Dyke, or do you just have a knack for it? |
Or maybe you just post too much information about yourself that no one cares about. This isn't rent a friend you know. |

There are a few recurring dreams that seem to be quite universal, such as teeth falling out, or running away from something but not being able to gather any speed. One recurring dream I have whenever I have some sort of deadline looming and I'm procrastinating is this one:
Generally though, any "dream interpretation" guide will be complete horse, because they tend to severely overplay the idea of dreams as symbolism and try and portray those symbols as universal, such as a house = the body, or other . Dreams are not poems, they are thoughts generated by a mind in an altered state of consciousness and they don't always make any sense at all. I have come to some fairly profound realisations about my subconscious by analysing my own dreams, but certainly not by relying on any universal dream playbook. |

Very interesting. I actually keep having recurring dreams where I'm still stuck in college, trying to graduate, even though I've graduated years ago. |

I once woke up thinking I was deaf,
but then I farted.

Once, I was really, really high, and I couldn't for the life of me understand who kept flicking the lights on and off. Turns out I was blinking. |

you don't know real nightmares until you've had sleep paralysis/awake night terrors. I had to go with a split definition because what I've experienced is often something in between them. and can it be horrifying.
you're awake, but you're not. you see and perceive things that aren't there, while your eyes are open. your brain is dreaming but your senses are just halfway in dreamland. when this goes nightmare-mode it feels like you're looking death in the eye.
when not nightmareish it's mostly just stressful. one example is when I "woke up" to believe the window facing my bed was falling down on me, I came to my "full" senses standing in my bed pressing the window with all my might. I ruined my window blinds in the process. another time I "came to" having pulled out all the light bulbs from the down lights in my room. I remember the urgency of having to do so, and doing it, but not why. I've also been sleepwalking on two occasions, while being aware of doing so, the reason being so illogical doesn't make any sense when I come to. these are often quite entertaining for my girlfriend to watch, at least after she got used to it. when she asks me questions I usually answer in sentences that doesn't make any sense to her. even when I come to my brain is usually so confused I talk like a drunk retard for a short time. we usually end up laughing about it before going back to sleep.
mild scares includes a sock on the floor all of a sudden being some kind of rodent surging towards you, a shadow/lamp/jacket being an entity in the room. I know this sounds like a childs imagination, but when in this state, your brain really believes it to be true.
full on deathscare always makes my memory of the experience vague, as if it's so traumatic my brain just don't want to or is unable to remember. these always lean more to the sleep paralysis part of my little "disorder". I haven't been diagnosed or seen a doctor about it. who needs a doctor when you have google, right? |
