What’s the weirdest/silliest/funniest dream you’ve experienced?

What’s the funniest/silliest/weirdest dream you’re ever experienced?

Me?
Right, challenge yourself to hold in your giggles

I was at a relative’s house and was changing my clothes on the balcony of their house. My clothes kept falling outside of the balcony, a few stories high mind you, and into the street, so I had to keep grabbing clothes from the wardrobe. Eventually they’d all fallen outside of the house and I was forced to walk around the house naked, tempted as I was to run to grab my “suitcase” of clothes from the street!

What the hell
That dream must be a metaphor for not feeling in control or something. Ever had one of those dreams where your teeth are falling out or are really loose? Yeah, same thing.

My dreams, oh my... I don't know where even to begin. My dreams are incredibly complex, in which time and space are bent, with elaborate multidimensional story lines and amazing lively details.

So I'll take back a step and go back to a childhood dream, though even that one was absolutely surreal:
I dreamt that I was in the staircase of my childhood apartment building. Suddenly a big crocodile is coming from below! So I rush to take the stairs up, as fast as I can. The croc is close to me, really close. But I manage to escape it and I reach the rooftop. The croc cannot come here for some reason. Now I am looking out over the city. There are trains going from rooftop to rooftop all around me, a wonderful spectacle. Eventually a train reaches my rooftop and I board the train. Unfortunately this is where the dream ends because I woke up. It would have been very interesting to see where this roof train would have went!



Escaping has always been a reoccurring theme in my dreams. Running away from the monsters in my life, and leaving the scene by any means necessary.

Monsters seem to be a common theme in nightmares, and you just reminded me of a funny story

Here goes:

• I was a passenger in the car with my family whereby my sister was the driver.
• I fell asleep.
• I had a nightmare where I was in the car with my family whereby my sister was the driver, AND we were being chased by a monster.
• I woke up, screaming “Help! We’re being chased by a monster!”
• My sister got scared!
• We giggled about it soon enough!

Not gonna lie, it felt real for a few minutes! I mean, seriously - why the heck did my nightmare have to occur in the same location I’m really in?!

There was actually a nightmare I believed to be real for years on end Here goes:

• I was about 4 years old, sleeping in my mum’s bed.
• I had a nightmare where a dog somehow got into bed and started biting me.
• I clung tightly to my mum due to fear (both in my nightmare and in real life - WTF to the overlap)
• My mum woke up next morning telling me I grabbed her tightly, whilst I was disoriented.
• Years later, I randomly brought up this story and my mum laughed, suggesting I must have had a nightmare!

Those kind of dreams are quite the interesting ones, because they blur the lines between reality and dreams. My most vivid example of that would be the time where in my dream there was an ambulance's siren. Right at that moment it turned out that there really was an ambulance in my street. Fascinating how real-life elements bleed into our dreams sometimes.

I'm afraid that I don't share my dreams with anyone, but I'm enjoying how surreal these experiences you've talked about here, are.

Remember ppl, dreams are very personal to you, so don't feel obliged to share if not comfortable with it.

Do you recall the details?

I recall a dream where my mum asked me if I want salad, but in reality she'd actually asked my sister if she wants salad lol.
Weird when things merge into one...

 

[Hitcore]

With that one, not really.

Have you ever had dreams where you are dreaming that you are sleeping, in which you dream, so basically a dream within a dream?

A friend of mine asked me what the following line means:

"I dream and so I am, to wake up I am no more."

This is what I told him:

The first part reminds me of "I think, therefore I am." Dreaming is a state of mind, it's images that your brain generates when you are in deep sleep. When you wake up, those images are gone, you are then in the real world. Then that dream world is gone, forever. Sure, you can sleep again and dream again, but that dream world will never be the same as the previous.
Ever had a dream that you didn't want to wake up from, and wishing that you could experience it again just the way you did?

What do you guys think?

@Retro I’m a bit confused - did I have a dream that a member “chrisbrown” registered or did it really happen and you nuked it?

 

[Retro]

Yeah, I nuked it. Looked like a spammer.

 

[AllThingsTech]

Did the guy start selling chris brown albums or what?

I doubt we’d see Chris Brown here

@Hitcore omg all these memes you post - do you edit them or do you find them?

Ngl, it took me a bit to figure out why on earth you mentioned Rihanna, then I had my classic "AHA!" moment!

 

[Hitcore]

Some I find, some I edit or even make from scratch. This one, of course, was just a simple edit.
My brain is almost hardwired to immediately find the absurdities in things.

 

[AllThingsTech]

Can you post up the original raw meme (which you later edited) ? I’m curious to see your creativity

 

[Hitcore]

Sure. Well, again, this one was simple. It is a mere reference to the Fawlty Towers episode The Germans. Basil Fawlty struggles to run the hotel while Sybil is in hospital. Chaos ensues after a fire drill and a real fire. Basil's head is pretty banged up at this point, causing him to losing the plot. Later, German guests arrive, and despite being told not to mention the war, Basil, his concussion having worsened, offends them with outrageous behavior and inappropriate WW2 references, culminating in farcical disaster. This is without a doubt Fawlty Towers' most notorious episode.



In modern times "Don't mention the war" has become a well known meme, with many variations by just replacing "the war" with anything.

And yeah, the Chris Brown and Rihanna reference you have figured out yourself. Imagine that the real Chris Brown would browse here, and someone would mention Rihanna.
All I did was combining the two memes with a simple text edit!

Scariest dream was in the early 1980s when being nuked seemed a real threat. Four minute warning had gone, my little Cornish village was going to get it. We all got in the car wanting to drive away - and FAST - although it would be futile. Dad wouldn't start the car until my kid brother had fastened his seatbelt!!!! Then as we drove, I kept getting clips of a big cone shaped bomb flying over, and landing in a neighbour's garden. It screwed itself in, then a fuse whipped out and ignited. The perspective kept fleeting between our car driving away and the bomb with fuse. Once the fuse was about 1 inch from the bomb, I woke up in a sweat. Had always been told you never die in dreams, and if you do, then you died IRL!

Oh boy you should really not see these movies then...



Horror is a genre that does nothing to me. Zombies and monsters? What a joke. But Threads is hands down the scariest movie I have ever seen. Because it's real, know what I mean? And bloody hell how bleak it is. Nightmare inducing stuff.
