Your recent nightmares?

I’m fascinated by dreams and I love de-coding them. I pay very close attention to my dreams and figure out most of my waking problems from them, but sometimes it’s hard.

I have very weird dreams, to be honest. Every night is lucid, I’m usually shape shifting to get out of trouble, turning invisible, or doing illegal things while using my shape shifting powers. It’s so much fun, because it’s gotten to the point where when I feel my brain working to make the characters notice me, I will shove it down and completely manipulate it. (Side question, do you dream in color or black and white? 12% of the population in the US dreams in B&W. My dad does, only had two dreams that were monochrome)

I never grew out of nightmares. I have insomnia and I would have constant nightmares up until two years ago, when I started taking heavy sedatives. Since then, it’s just disturbing and horrible. I have trouble with this because I don’t know whether my dreams happened or not IRL. (TW, my dreams are really fcked up)

Anyways, sticking to the point. Two nights ago I had a troubling nightmare where I was kidnapped, I forget the reason, and taken to a horrible place where human torsos were on the ground and people murdered and tortured people. Most of the dream I pretended to be the ladies pet pig so she didn’t kill me, but I started talking to her and she realized it’s me and locked me in the back of a U-Hal truck where I was naked and sat there to die, but I shape shifted into a white eagle and flew outside and tried to get into the air (flying is the hardest thing for me to do in dreams, took me a year to figure it out), but two small children, a boy and a girl, smiled at me and tried pulling me down, but I managed to make them disappear and I flew away.

And a reoccuring dream I keep having is me suddenly have owned some sort of pet (a horse in the past, now it’s reptiles and snakes) that I had been neglecting and abusing. They would be in small containers and dying. I would break down into tears trying to convince myself and others around me I had no idea, but they called e abusive and wouldn’t let me help it. Then my two ferrets were out playing and a boa constrictor that started out as a cool pet (and kept trying to bite me) turned evil and killed my ferrets. I saw trails of blood on the ground and Bean being dragged away, dead. Then Cream was on the ground and I picked him up but he lived, but was dying. My voice stopped working and I tried to tell the girl next to me Cream was dead and we need to go to the hospital.

Last night I used a time machine to go into the year 3017 and I went to school and met a group of girls who became my friends. I asked them things like who was the president, and what you did, and I explained what is was like to be alive in 2017. I went down to the beach where the time machine was, but it was all change. I tried to get them to come to me in a secret part of the woods where the Yellow Tree was (not sure why, I keep getting oak trees in my dreams, they symbolize a loss of childhood or grief of letting go for me), but we went down to the beach. I tried to collect things, and there was a crocodile (I keep getting those as well) and two baby sand sharks. Then I tried to drown myself and I got in trouble by the teacher because I needed to get back to school. They got rid of trans right and I had to de-transition back into a girl (worst feeling ever), but I manged to convince my friends to come with me to 2017 but I don’t remember what happened, other than I became upset that all of my loved ones died because I was in 3017.

Later we were in water and we had to find the time machine but I had become a black man?? and a cop saw me and saw swimming towards me. My friends got out safely but I couldn’t swim so I let myself drown.

When I woke up I felt sad because I keep getting dreams where people want to be my friends but it’s the opposite in real life.

I love and am fascinated by dreams as well. I know it’s the worst to wake up from a dream where you have something you’ve always wanted, I feel that way when I wake up from dreams where I’m in a loving relationship.

I wonder why some people have very morbid and violent nightmares and other people have more mundane ones. I’ve always had very violent and disturbing ones like that one you described with the human torsos.

My most recent nightmare was fairly tame. I was in an empty pool filled with monsters and crazy violent people. All of them wanted to hurt me. But I didn’t want to fight!! So I stopped them and said “Listen guys, I don’t want to fight, why don’t we have an orgy instead?? Everyone can join in!!” And then they all looked at me like I was a freak before trying to attack me again so I woke myself up. LOL dream me. I can be really ridiculous sometimes.

Haha, that’s funny! I don’t get any good dreams, save for the three times I was a dragon. Those are my best dreams, but that’s rare for me.

I had a reoccurring dream of being a nazi or in the Japanese army because we were learning about war (I hate it), and I had to witness genocide/mass murder. They strapped a naked lady upside down and dragged an axe down her spine. I woke up to her screaming 8|

I used to only have nightmares until I developed lucid abilities as a child. When I started realizing they weren’t real and had powers to fight back it often turned negative dreams into positive ones and now I have had many wonderful dreams as well as horrifying.

I wish my lucid dreams worked like that. Sometimes it does work, but my brain is still anxious even in my sleep, so I can tell when a nightmare comes. All I can do is change myself to escape the monster, but sometimes it all shatters and I need to suffer my hyper realistic dreams. When I wake, they’re still there. I have no end.

My lucidity got a lot worse after I got ptsd. I used to have like a 90% lucidity rate and really almost never had nightmares anymore, then after getting ptsd for 2 years I had pretty much no lucidity whatsoever aside from like an odd dream here or there and now a number of years after that I’d say I’m at about a 60% lucidity rate.

I feel you on the never being able to escape thing. I’d be tormented by demons all night and when I finally fell asleep they’d just keep tormenting me in my dreams. I couldn’t even get away in my own mind.

I was so depressed for a while because there’s no escape. Sleep is for some people, but not for me/people like us. I will go through periods of time where I try to stay awake as much as possible to avoid sleep.

Yes at my worst times it’s like that for me too I’d stay up all night and just end up really sleep deprived for ages, which ended up making the psychosis worse, a vicious cycle really.

Hey bringing this up to see if maybe someone can help me interpret? Short dream.

Basically I was flirting with the god Loki on a couch in some random place. (Weirdly it was the Tom Hiddleston Loki-i never really had a crush on him or anything however Loki the god has always been my favorite Norse god in mythology ) I think first he was bragging about something so I ended up pulling a joke on him and then things somehow got a little heated and I think he wanted to sleep with me? And I was being very playful and teasing about it and overall it was very positive when suddenly a cold woman’s voice commanded “you will not touch her.” This made Loki pause, I tried to reassure him it was nothing but the dream ended shortly after.

Why does this dream bother me so much?
-Why did a WOMANS VOICE (note that in my dreams women are pretty much never protective figures) step in and prevent things from becoming sexual? I have NEVER in ANY of my dreams had any kind of anything step in to prevent something sexual from happening. Furthermore 99% of my sex related dreams are very negative and non consensual. This was consensual and positive, so why on earth would something step in? If that voice hadn’t shown up honestly I wouldn’t have spent 2 seconds thinking about this dream and would’ve chalked it up to being some weird fantasy dream.

I think Loki might represent what you want. He’s mischievous and cunning, I know I will do illegal things in my dreams because I want that freedom. I don’t think it has to do with sex, I think you want to let yourself to love someone or let yourself open up and not be so constricting, and the women was yourself. Possibly a subconscious part of your brain is still scared of letting yourself open up to others in fear of something bad happening again.

Thank you I think this is spot on. I had a nightmare of similar theme tonight where this massive skeleton (like big as a building, big enough to hold me in its hand) kidnapped me, I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be death itself or the devil but it was evil. And it demanded I become its bride so of course I refused and it responded by throwing me down a bottomless pit with bones everywhere. I eventually got so freaked out endlessly falling in darkness I agreed to marry it and spent of the rest of the time hanging out with its servants and whenever it showed up we’d basically all cower in fear. Weirdly the skeleton acted very nonchalant and casual its voice wasn’t intimidating but it was very malevolent.

I feel this represented my fear of being trapped in my old experiences of sexuality forever. I woke up from that and couldn’t fall back asleep for a solid hour I was so upset :weary:

Not to mention this dream was first precluded by tactile hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and auditory hallucinations. That was pretty terrifying.

This might get blocked because its pretty terrible and its basically a horror movie as a dream and took me a while to get out of the trance from the nightmare but here i go. And if it needs to get flagged then go ahead. Also i have no control in my dreams not even over myself. Its like a movie

It started with me walking to this nice house in an area i grew up and love dearly. When i walked in a father and mother greeted me and said they were so happy i could babysit their kids. Which apparently in this i was a babysitter (idk). The family was a Father a Mother, 2 older brothers and a a younger brother and younger sister. I was babysitting for the younger 2. But i babysat for them once or twice and they were really nice. Then one day i was having lunch with my friend and then the 2 older brothers walked in and we started talking. They were really weird in how they talked to where when me and my friend left my friend said “those guys are dicks.” And i said “yea they’re very odd.” Then i babysat for the family again and it was the younger sister and brother and the 2 older brothers which i found strange. My friend was also with me at my place for some reason. It started out ok at first but then one of the older brothers pulled out a knife and started trying to murder me and my friend. Then all 4 siblings were trying to kill both of us and they were saying some really messed up stuff while slowly coming after us like they were rellishing the hunt. Like the younger sister said something like “im gonna chew on ur stomach” or something. I yelled for my friend to grab his gun and he did and he started shooting but was missing then i yelled “hand it to me.” He gave me the gun and i shot one of the older brothers in the head a few times. But for some reason he took control of one of my bunnies somehow and then started going after my friend. Like possessing my bunny he was biting holes in my friends flesh. I started crying because i had to shoot my own bunny who was possessed by this horrible person. Then the younger brother cut my friends throat and my friend died and then i got out somehow. The whole family ended up getting arrested and me and my parents were talking to the police lady about it while the family was handcuffed staring at us. The police woman said that they were looking for this family for a while because apparently that family had been going around, changing their identities and making up a front to have people babysit for them but then they would murder the babysitters family and the babysitter. As they took the family away one of them said “we know who u are.” And then i woke up.

It is easily the most messed up, scary horrible nightmare ive ever had. When i woke up i instantly shot up and made sure my bunnies were ok then i gave them food and a big hug. I dont think ill ever forget that nightmare
