I had a bizarre dream where I was a nun and the other sisters didn’t like me because I was different; so they put a red habit on me (like a scarlet letter) and threw me in a jail cell. A littler nun was trying to convince the mother superior that I was a good person while she cooked a huge meal in the kitchen with fire. There was a pot in which she put noodles that at first looked like the Pillsbury dough boy and then all of a sudden all my friends and family were in the pot too. Flat images of those whom I love cooking amongst fire.

The mother superior sang to all the pots to be quiet because they were squealing and still on fire. When she finished singing, they steamed instead of squealing.

Then I woke up.

First, let me explain that I have suffered from night terrors since birth. I can vividly remember every night terror I have had since I was two years old. Some of my early night terrors: I would often dream that I had to pee and would make my way out into the hallway. If I turned on the light, then a huge shadow man would appear on the wall and grab me. He would slowly squeeze me and I could feel all of my ribs popping. Now, if I did not turn on the light and actually made it to the bathroom, an evil SCUBA diver would come up from the toilet and try to drag me in and drown me. Then there was the oversized rabid Winnie the Pooh that would chase me around the kitchen, clawing and biting at me.

I also had a recurring dream about a witch doctor (aka the foot doctor), who would slice open the bottom of my feet and put tiny worms in the cuts. At the age of 10, I learned to control my dreams. I would no longer wake up terrified and screaming (my parents must have been thrilled that they didn’t have to run into my room to shake me awake anymore).

Now, when I have an unpleasant dream, I can usually change my surroundings with a single thought if I am aware that I am in a dream state. I still have dreams that others would consider nightmares, but they do not frighten me anymore. My friends tell me that my dreams are quite disturbing. Below is one such dream:

I am standing alone on a dock looking out onto the water. I notice the body of a dead girl is floating about 30 feet away. Her body has a sick greenish hue and decomposition has already started to occur. The body springs to life and the girl starts to frantically wave her arms in the air, but no sounds come out of her rotting mouth. Then, the girl starts to get dragged under by Death. Death pulls the girl down and then sees me watching him. Death is handsome and completely nude. Death swims to the edge of the dock I am standing on and then disappears. When I turn around, Death is standing behind me. Salt water is flowing off of his perfect body. Death does not speak to me. He turns around so I can see his bare back… which is muscular… but you can see his bony spine. Then he puts his hand to the back of his neck and starts to slowly “unzip” his spine. The spine pulls apart like a zipper…each vertebrae separates, exposing his muscular and skeletal frame. I can see the muscles and nerves pulsating. A greenish black liquid starts to ooze down his back. I smile and walk away.

I have had many dreams that I remember to have been “different.” But these seem to be happening more and more often than before lately. With these recurring ones, I feel that I can recall them more than my normal dreams.

This one begins with me sitting in my room, which is unusually dark. I don’t see my roommate or anybody. I then feel this strange sensation that seems to pour over me like rain falling on a building. As I try to leave my room and open the door I realize that it’s locked. I then turn to the large glass window in my apartment and I see this overwhelming light, like looking into the sun. I try to look away by shielding my eyes with my hand as if the blinding light could be ignored. The silence then turns into a shattering noise of broken furniture flying all around me. Everything that was in my room was being torn apart. I feel I must escape the devastation of this place; I then begin to run towards the light coming from my window. Crashing against the glass, I fall through. I don’t feel scared, rather relieved or liberated. As I open my arms, I am consumed with the white light. This is when I wake up.

When I was younger (from around nine years old to about my junior year of high school), I would constantly experience vivid dreams about people and events that had happened in my life. Until recently, my ability to dream more or less vanished, but I still remember many of the dreams I had when I was a kid, especially the one time I had a dream that actually happened in real life a few days later.

I was about 11 years old and my entire junior high school of about 100 students and teachers were going to the beach for a school trip. A few days before the trip I had a vivid dream about the entire trip. I remember dreaming about the students on the bus singing “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey on the way to the beach, then getting off the bus and running over to a concession stand that was on the beach. I vividly remember dreaming about students playing beach volleyball, swimming in the sea, and playing other games throughout the day. Then, before I woke up, I remember dreaming about the ride back to the school and looking around the school bus and suddenly realizing that I was remembering the dream that I was having at the time.

The crazy thing is that everything that occurred in the dream happened during my school’s trip, in order, including the part when I realized I had a dream about the experience just a few days prior. I was completely spooked by the dream, and never told any of my family or friends about it.

Recently, I have had more and more dreams that have come true. I don’t know why it has happened again, but it really scares me at times. Sometimes when I remember a dream again, it feels like a fog lifting from my brain for a split second, just before it falls again. This feeling really scares me though. Maybe someone can help me out.

A friend and I got into my car and headed down a dark road that led to a party that was going to be held out in the middle of the woods. We were running a little later than planned, but figured it to be okay.

One our way down the winding road, we passed three accidents, all similar. The first accident: a man’s body was laid out, his car wrapped around a tree and his head a few feet away from his body. The second accident: a man’s body was laid out, his car smashed into a tree, and his head a few feet away from his body. The third accident: a man’s body laid out, bloody, and his car nowhere to be found. Orange cones blocked the accidents, and we slowed down as we passed. Finally, we passed the accidents and continued past trees.

We arrived at the place were everyone’s cars were parked. We parked and headed into the woods. Arriving at a clearing, we heard screams and people running by. My friend and I tried to move, but we couldn’t. After a few minutes, the screams stopped. Then a werewolf came out of nowhere and attacked my friend. Another came at me, but I found that I could back away. I hit a tree and the thing lunged at me. Just before it bit me, I awoke.

I dreamed that I was surrounded by family in one room. I was holding a child and another was sitting beside me. Crawling on the children were ladybugs. When the ladybugs crawled on me their backs turned into gold coins. It was a lucid dream. I knew I was dreaming because I kept telling myself this was a sign of good luck. What does this mean?
