The dream you'd dread if it became real

Random thread topic idea.

Dreams you've had - *actual* dreams, not "dreams" in the sense of hopes, aspirations, etc. We've all had wonderful dreams that we wish were real.

What about the dreams you would be disgusted, horrified, saddened, embarassed, were they real?

Of your dreams or nightmares, which do you suppose is the *worst*, were it to become reality? Could involve simple dreams embodying fears of failure, revelations about your inner self you wouldn't want to be publicly known (though, erm... probably wouldn't post about it here if so anyway : P ), dreams about disasters, completely abstract and impossible nightmares, etc. The dream need not involve *you* in any way, though if it does this is perfectly fine.

Go for it.

This thread, like all my threads, will likely die on page 1. Such is life.

I had a dream my face was crustily full of cystic acne. It scared me, at least.
Well, well, well. :) Since i dont want anything, including topics, let to die, I will try to answer your question. I dont remember most of my dreams, I am in bad state of mind most of the time and dreams are less remembered, when you feel badly. . . . Another think is, that i had some topics of nightmares, that are related to some time - in some periods of time, my nightmares were about different things. But i will try. One bad dream and one good.

Worst nightmares:

My worst nightmares, and i dont have those for long time, but when i think about it, those if happened, would be my end. They were about something happening, something very strange, which only i could see - For example, i was in my room with some person, then i left the room and same person was outside also. They were two same people, and nobody except me found it strange. This is propably worst thing, that could happen to me in real life. If i saw two of my mothers or friends or dogs . . . And nobody except me cared. . . .

My best dream so far, and its hard to talk about, since its kind of private. But since you asked . . . (Did you?)
It is relatively new dream, that i dreamed about few months ago. I was in some strange little shop. And there was marvelous girl. I think she was red head, but maybe it is just my correction. Anyway. We were talking and she offered me a apple juice. (what a strong symbol. :) ) I had a feeling in the dream that she liked me and i liked her very much. But it is the feeling from this dream . . . I never had such strong feeling from some dream. It was this sense of peace. Absolute peace and calm. And all of people who makes me crazy and scared, all of my duties and fears were outside, waiting for me . . . But i didnt care.

Some time ago i remembered this dream and just started to cry, from this feeling of peace, that i experienced . . . Never happened to me with another dream.

I am at this moment in really bad state of mind. I am exhausted, depressed, affraid . . . I lost everything and my life is huge mess and will propably even worse . . . I wish so much that i dream about her again tonight.

And if i met a girl like that in real life? I dont need to dream anymore . . . .

Take care, and not let your topic die. ;)

When I was about 10 I dreamt that my grandmother was buried in a massive triangular block of cement.
And I had to use a iron to free her. One of my most bizarre dreams every.

But the most scare I've had was when I were about 7 and dreamt about some of my class mates. We were all in some kind of small zoo. Suddenly I see that there is this black shapeless monster in one of the cages. And in the next moment it is free and towards us. One of my friends tries to get it back into the cage, but the monster eats him.
I remember how our parents in the dream just sat in a cafeteria, and didn't notice anything.

That nightmare, despite how unrealistic it is, has been one of the scariest ever. I think it is because I had it when I was so little, and I was still afraid of that monster many years later. And I somehow still feel a bit fear thinking of it! Haha, completely ridiculously, but it must be something psychological.

When I was young I probably had social anxiety disorder & a few times I dreamed I was running down the hallway of my school naked. Kids were lined up on both sides of the hall laughing & pointing at me & I was in full panic mode but the faster I ran, the longer the hallway got. I never reached the end. My gosh if that were to actually happen now I'd be the viral perv or the fastest geezer on the planet. Or just pass out & wake up in a squad car.

Death is not the most dreaded thing. It is the fear of hardship and pain that comes before death. I wouldn't mind being dead. Sounds like a peaceful state of being if you ask me.

Most dreaded dream: Someone finding out my deepest, darkest secrets.

I keep having the same dream since I was little... it was getting in a car either in the shotgun or behind the wheel, and even when I tried my hardest to stop it from moving, it won't stop and it'll keep on full speed ahead.

I'm scared that one day it'll happen and I'll crash + die.

I had a nightmare recently where I beat up a friend of mine for no reason. That'd be a dreadful experience, to find myself cruel enough to do such a thing.

I've had some pretty fucked up dreams in the past. If any of them came true, I think I'd go insane, mainly because they made so little sense that it would be a sign I was having a psychotic breakdown.

I dreamt my mum was dead once.

I woke up crying and shaken.

Worst dream ever.

I was all grown-up when I had that dream, but the saddest thing is that I had it cos my friend's mum had died a little while before.
:crying:

I once had this weird dream that gave me such an uneasy feeling, I still remember today.

I remember I took a glance outside the window and noticed that the sky was on fire. Literally on fire. There were clouds of flames floating in the air and a red mist covering everything. You could hear thundering sounds in the distance and the screams of people running in the streets. I asked my brother what was going on, and he told me we were all going to die. So I told him we should have escaped somewhere, but he told me there was no hope. No place was safe on earth: each and every life form on the planet was gonna die 'cause of the imminent disaster. No one in the streets actually knew what was going to happen. Some thought it was an huge meteor falling on the Earth, some thought the whole planet was running out of oxygen and everyone would soon die from breathing that red mist.

I wanted to escape. I tried to pack a few of my things but realized I couldn't leave without my family, so I tried to persuade them into coming with me. Somewhere else, didin't matter where, we just had to go. "It's over" they kept telling me "there's nothing we can do." I didn't want to accept that fate, I didn't want to die. I remember bursting into tears as the air became hotter and hotter and breathing was getting very hard. At every breath, it felt like inhaling fire, and it corroded my lungs. I thought it wasn't fair to end it like that. What did we ever do to deserve such a terrible death, with no chance of surviving whatsoever?

Then I woke up. My heart was burdened with an intense feeling of hopelessness and despair. It would be sad to just fade away without a chance at fighting back. If that happened for real, I guess it wouldn't be fun at all. :p

Most of my nightmares involve a zombie apocalypse and that there seems to be no weakness and everyone dies. Seems dumb but something about them left me in a cold sweat. Bizzare dreams aplenty, most are private though. One would be that I had a conversation with death over tea. I don't remember most of it. A really bizarre one I had is a tad graphic but I'll try to word it so it's not too offensive I guess. In the dream it was about 12 at night, yet a rare event happened (according to the dream) where it was sunny at night for one hour. I ran off with a girl with wanted me to perform a certain sexual act on her. We went to a green grassy field where she started to undress and all of the sudden the sky turned blood red and a demonic voice said No. I looked up for a second and when I looked back, the girl had become a horrifying hag just laughing dementedly. A dream where I woke up almost crying is one I don't mind sharing either. A pack of wolves asked me to run away with them into the woods. I ran away and on the border between the city and the woods I was shot by someone. As I was dying the pack of wolves mourned and I was tearing up because I was so close to reaching the forest. I seriously woke up and teared up. The rest are either to weird to share or to incoherent.

Any of my "end of the world" dreams, which seem to happen a lot, I obviously don't want to come true. Last night, for instance, I had a dream that the world was sucked up by a black hole. Little bits of the sky started to look funny and before I could realize what was happening I was engulfed by complete darkness and silence. I'm starting to fear death again because in these dreams I don't wake up when I die. I just continue to be aware of the black silence, unable to move or feel or do anything. I just exist in a void without really existing. It's terrifying.

Here's the bad dream:

Waking up at 40 without a sense of purpose, looking up at the white walls and thinking to myself, "what have I accomplished/contributed in my time here?" My face totally blank, defeated.

.....Yea, its scary.

I remember my dreams very well. This is from years of wanting to record all my vivid dreams, so now I've developed the habit of lying in bed and savouring the last few seconds of my dream world.

I have awful dreams sometimes, of seeing various family members naked. I hope to goodness that never comes true. In some dreams they die (usually my brother) and it's a long drawn out recurring nightmare in which I find myself not caring or reacting and then feeling guilty that I don't even care that my only sibling died. Ugh!!
Recently I had a very unsettling dream about my mother, who had shrunk to the size of a little pixie creature and was zooming about some mall or something, refusing to be caught, and I am chasing after her, and then I lose her because she's so little and difficult to keep track of. I don't know what it means but I definitely don' want to be chasing after a miniature pixie mother all my life.

I know your pain - my older brother used to *constantly* walk around the house naked, until my mom finally told him to put some damned clothes on -_-;

I have a lot of disturbing sexual dreams. I won't describe them on here (I once described one of my sexual dreams and the thread got locked because of it) but they either make me feel gross, ashamed or really turned on. they usually make no sense and would never happen in reality, or would be impossible. Usually they involve other people, not me. I'm just watching. uh...

But then there's the weird masturbating dreams... trying to be tame here... but I have a recurrent dream that I need to masturbate but I keep getting interrupted. It's very frustrating. I get really turned on and try to do something about it, but something always gets in the way.

I think I probably have some pent up sexuality issues, ya think?

I've had two very bad dreams that made me keep the lights on for a few extra minutes.

The first is a dream when my parents hired a nanny to look after my brothers and I and our house, which in the dream was more like a dark, drafty castle. Only, she was actually evil and had orange eyes and wanted to kill my entire family. I remember one part when I was staring in a mirror and had orange eyes as well, although when I blnked they went away. The nanny was chasing my family through the castle library with a battleaxe, and they were completely oblivious to it.

The other dream wasn't nearly as linear, but the worst part about it was that I was actively leading people (namely my dream brother) down the wrong path. True, the circumstances weren't ideal, but that was no excuse for me. I woke up afraid of becming that person.

And, there were some unpleasant ones featuring a particularly vindictive Englsh teacher...
