I’m starting to worry about the amount of people wishing me dead, in dreams or IRL 🫤
I really must get a motion activated camera to see what I am up to

🤣 🤪
The best is to have no dream at all.
How else am I to break up the mundane trudge of existence?
I was convinced the nurse was an angle
Sounds a little obtuse.
Not the first or the last time I will make that spelling mistake
Kryton - if you appear in one of my abandonment dreams then its really gonna get weird 🙂
When I'd newly given up smoking, I often dreamt about smoking a cigarette, dreams that were so vivid and realistic that for a couple of moment I'd be pretty pissed off that I'd picked up the habit again after all the work to give them up. It would take sometimes a few minutes to realise that I was either still dreaming or only just awoken and that I'd not really started smoking again. Really odd what your mind gets up to.
I regularly (maybe once a month) have sleep paralysis demons. It’s quite routine now, but was scary at first and it’s very disconcerting for my partner.
I'm unable to move whatsoever. There is someone/something in the room slowly coming towards me, I then feel them start to strangle me. I can’t move, completely locked in, I can’t shout or scream, just make very strange noises. My partner can see me trying to scream and escape…..but I can’t as I’m locked solid. I can’t even scream as my jaw won’t move, so I make really weird noises!
Event Horizon, so it wasn't just me then.
Really messed with my dreams for a while.
I don't dream at all that I can remember. My life must be shit boring 😕
I used to get a paralysis dream . unable to move and a group of 4 people who would stand at each corner of the bed shake it up and down with me in it.
Used to always wake up sweaty and scared witless

Dreamt i was a Thomas the tank engine lamp once....
I fell really ill whilst in Australia back in 2007, and awoke in a hospital bed.
I said to the nurse, with intrepidation in my voice, "did i come here to die..?"
She replied, "nah, you came here yesterDIE"..
Very scary indeed.
<br />DrP
nah, you came here yesterDIE
😂
I had an experience where I thought I was dreaming but actually wasnt. I "dreamt" i was in a hospital bed but the nurses i could see were like angels in pure white uniforms. I looked at my watch and it had a dozen or more hands so was unreadable. Then a sound roused me. India 99, GMP's helicopter* was circling nearby.

It transpired that I had been admitted to hospital with dangerously low oxygen saturation (66%). I was hypoxic on air and was transfered to ICU.
I spent three weeks in hospital being treated for an autoimmune disease that had attacked my lungs' gas transfer ability.
Wegener's Granulomatosis was diagnosed from symptoms and CT scans.
... with dangerously low oxygen saturation (66%). I was hypoxic on air and was transfered to ICU.
Does that cause "hallucination"? i.e. due to low oxygen.
I can dream a lot due to my sinus blockage and perhaps lead to low oxygen?
The marshmallow one sounds deliciously enticing 🤣
I can usually remember my dreams and can often decide on the narrative or make choices to change the outcome.
However, having said that, I recently woke up being really confused and feeling resentful towards the GF. Dreamt that she had decided to adopt triplets. Feeling angry in the dream and then this weird feeling of acceptance that my life was over and now had to look after kids.
Not sure how many others here can relate, but when you stop smoking copious amounts of weed due either to events outside of ones control, a lack of supply or just to prove to oneself that one isn't addicted, you get mad dreams.
Really vivid. Surreal.
It's worth giving up the weed just for the dreams. Sadly the mad dream phase doesn't last long, maybe a week or so.
In 2009 I was put in ICU as I had a severe case of encephalitis. I was pumped full of drugs and had some very disturbing dreams many of which took things I could see whilst conscious and then constructed a scenario around them.
Memorable scenes included sitting by the bank of a river or flame/lava as it went down a cliff to the entrance to hell and being urged to jump over the cliff by an old decayed woman - I think this was triggered by my wife sitting in the chair next to the bed and talking to me.
I also dreamt of being on a conveyor belt with my skeleton removed and lying next to me and the conveyor again taking me to my doom.
I apparently bear a passing resemblance to Jack Dee and I think someone must have mentioned this as he appeared in my dreams torturing me in a portal to hell located under Tewkesbury! Other people I seemed to know had been tortured and reduced to living slime contained in transparent tanks.
As I recovered the dreams became less weird. In one I was pursued by killer trains on the London underground which somehow morphed into the local swimming baths with someone trying to drown me. I then became convinced that I was in a film and what was going on was just scenes from that and nobody was really trying to harm me.
This experience left me fairly freaked out for a few months and it did not help that my company HR department effectively forced me to return to work earlier that I should have.
I am not particularly religious but obviously have a deep-seated fear of the conventional idea of hell.
After a bit of research I found that my experience was not unique - not something that I care to repeat but kudos to the ICU staff for saving my life and putting up with my crarziness as I was quite loud apparenttly.
Yes. Classis "mountain sickness" or hypoxia.
My case was more complicated as I was also serioulsy malnourished. I hadn't eaten for three weeks and my body had started to digest heart muscle! This meant my blood test showed the enzyme(s) that indicate a heart attack. I was a mess.
Not quite dream-related, but similar... My pal John went to sleep with his arms stretched over his head and in the night, they went completely numb. He woke up, not being able to feel his arms - and looked down and couldn't see them either! He started panicking and shouting that someone had stolen his arms in the night. At this point, his struggling to get up caused a heavy, dead arm to flop into view, which I think only made things worse as it obviously wasn't his as he couldn't feel or control it... Eventually he realised that his arms were indeed still attached and then just had to wait through ten minutes of pins and needles as the feeling returned...
Since he told me that, I've been careful not to fall asleep with my arms over my head.

For sure
@andy5390 - thank you, someone had to, and I’m glad you got there first!
I rarely remember my dreams past the minute or so after waking, but there was one dream, I can’t remember the details but it was so funny I woke myself up laughing at it! I just wish I could remember what it was about. <br /><br />
My dream is mostly related to dead people or hell gate which is getting rather boring now. Some are recurring dream hell gate.<br /><br />
I don’t suppose Sarah Michelle Geller’s in it, by any chance, or Alison Hannigan?

As above ,for sure. Mad violent dreams, of bloody murder, frantic disposal of bodies under the livingroom floorboards.
once I woke up inside the duvet cover head first.<br /><br />
😳 Honestly, tj, I’m struggling to parse that statement, I have enough problems trying to get the sodding duvet inside the cover! <br /><br />

No, not nasty dreams. Just very surreal, vivid and generally good vibes.

Thanks for information. I am not sure I am at that stage (hypoxia) yet but my blood circulation ain't good due to past injury to my lower back. My diet is ok as my weight remain the same as 5 years ago. Could loose another 3kg if I can. Anyway back to dreams.
Funny thing is that my dreams are very distinctively heaven, middle earth and hell. The one in heaven is usually alright with plenty of floating palaces, religious people etc. Dream of middle earth is usually related to village and city life. Dream of hell is usually related to hell guardians and purgatory. All very real as I can feel, smell the air/breeze, temperature and see the surroundings very clearly.
