WEIRDEST Dreams You've Ever Had

[adventurernumber1]

Ok, I've had some really weird dreams in the past. Both dreams and nightmares. I'll share some of the weirdest dreams I can remember to this day.

(In early elementary school) - I dreamt I was at recess on the playground, having just a usual day on the swings and stuff. Then, all of a sudden, this huge vacuum cleaner appears out of nothing and starts sucking up everybody and everything, and it zips insanely fast around the playground. I start running for my life, and the vacuum cleaner is almost touching me. Can't remeber much else.

(In late elementary school) - I dreamt I woke up for school, then went to school. Fast-forwarding to lunch, I was getting lunch in the lunchroom, and I was carrying my tray to the table, then, I woke up, but in the dream. I had dozed off in the lunch line. I then continued to my table, but then, I woke up again, in the dream, and this time, I was at a different table on the other side of the lunch room when I woke up. Then, I for some odd reason just walked outside onto the playground, and my crush was being attacked by Indians. I ran to try to save her, but then I woke up AGAIN, and this time I was back in my bed at home (still in the dream). When I was back at school, when I got to lunch, my crush was being attacked again by Indians as if I had rewinded that same day. I ran out again, and this time I started attacking the Indians, in defense. Then, one shot me with an arrow, and I finally woke up for real. One weird dream...

(This past year) - I was living in a castle in an unusual kingdom with unusual rulers with unusual rules. The rulers were insane germ freaks and manners freaks. I remember not washing my hands before eating, and the rulers ordered a knight to beat me up. Then I washed my hands, and when Instarted eating, I didn't use my fork for bread, and I was beaten again. Then, I ran to my room to hide, and the Knights and rulers tried to break down my locked door. I tried to escape the castle, but I fell out the window and landed in the hands of the female ruler. She then tried to bite me?..but then I started running, and running, and then I woke up.

Btw, the reason I can remember these significant dreams so well is because in my lifetime, since they occurred, I have written them down, and constantly thought about them when on thought on the topic of dreams, and well, it's safe to stay they're kinda stuck in my head, lol. But feel free to share some weird dreams of y'all's!!

EDIT: I just also remembered this dream, and it is much too weird to neglect adding to the list:

(In late elementary school) - I was at my crush's house, and we were having a lot of fun (not naughty fun, lol). Then, all of a sudden, my entire family shows up (mainly all of my dad's side). They tell me that Elmo is after me, and I must leave. I beg that I may stay with my crush, but they say I have to go. Then, Elmo breaks through the wall with an axe, and only me, my grandmother, and my older cousin (16 or 17 at the time of the dream) escape. My cousin is driving a car (me and my grandmother in the back), and we drive up to Chattanooga, TN. We start driving up a hill, then all of a sudden (there's not even a storm) the whole area starts flooding, and the hill were going up turns into a 90 degree angle, and our car slides down into the flood. I then wake up.

I've had a few lucid dreams. My favorite was my very first one - I immediately realized I was in a dream and could fly, so I did, like a bird, over the city. it was absolutely stunning.

One dream: found this awesome government map/transportation library that had everything -- tantalizing old maps with route numbers I'd never seen before. Like 80-year-old numbers in CT that I don't remember at all. Or interstates (new ones?) in the Southwest with low numbers (14, 18, etc)

Another dream: driving up a mountain road with friends (maybe 4 in the car). Crest the summit and there's a bit of a straightaway before a sharp left turn with a huge canyon on the right. I miss the turn, and the car's suddenly in mid-air, and gravity takes over. I either woke up or the dream "changed channels" before impact :-)

Welcome to my world. This sounds like my mother. She bitches about everything.

I've had many weird dreams over the years.  The one freshest in my mind is one that I had a few nights ago.  Let me preface the story by saying that I've always been very anal and particular about keeping my cars immaculate.  I've always kept them spotless inside and out and have done my best to avoid dents, dings, scratches, etc.  I'm particularly anal about my new car because it's my first ever brand-new car.  I've always bought used in good shape and pretty much ran them until they've become a mightmare to maintain mechanically.

Anyway, my new car (only 2 months old) was parked in a store's parking lot while I was inside shopping.  I had parked it way out in the lot where I always park (out in the area of the lot that is usually vacant, except for the holiday season).  Upon exiting the store, I see some woman in a random car with NY plates had hit my car and dented the bumper.  I ran out to stop her as she was about to drive away.  I stopped her from leaving and read her the riot act.  She in turn proceeds to tell me it's just a small dent and that shit like that happens all the time in Manhattan.  I continued to curse her out.  I remember saying, "Maybe this isn't a big deal in Manhattan, but it's a big fucking deal out here!"  I'm not sure what happened next, since I woke up.  My heart was beating hard and I quickly got out of bed and went outside.  I looked the car over, and then I realized it had only been a dream and sighed a big relief.

I just had a dream about this board. Seriously. I was reading it from my apartment when I found out that a bunch of the topics had been locked, and there was one with a story about me and Mike that I couldn't read for some reason. Every time I clicked on it I got a message saying that I wasn't authorized to read it. I was suddenly worried that my account was about to be banned because the admins weren't convinced that my husbands account was really him and that I was abusing it for trivia and other forum games.

I have a lot of dreams in which I'm in car accidents or my car is otherwise damaged or stolen. I wonder whether this is because in real life I've been rear-ended three times (one of them resulting in insurance declaring a total) and backed into once and so I have a subconscious paranoia about it.

My wife says I sometimes seem to wake up (except I'm utterly unaware of it) screaming in the middle of the night swatting at bats or bugs or something that isn't there, although she hasn't mentioned it in a while now. About five years ago when I first started using a CPAP I was prescribed Ambien and I then had a brutal time weaning myself off it. I've wondered whether maybe it's a flashback of some sort. I never had any of the really weird side effects like sleepwalking or driving in your sleep or the like.

Christmas eve 2011, I had a dream that I was in the car with my family.  There was this one kid who hadn't shown up to school in a month or so.  In the dream, my mom told me that he got cancer and died.  Unsure if it was actually a dream, I asked my mom about it the next day.  She confirmed that it was just a dream.  When school started again, I was delighted to see him there.  We're friends today, but he does not know about this dream that I had.

A couple months ago, I had a dream that my dad woke me up at the north rim of the Grand Canyon.  To give a little background on the situation, we were in the process of planning a trip there before he died in a farming accident.  I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.  I wish that weren't a dream.

All my dreams are weird.  If I had a normal dream, that would be weird.  Just last night I had a dream that was very similar to Cardcaptor Sakura, for example.  I only remember snippets though.  I'm convinced they're all semi-lucid, as even those that should be nightmares never scare me, but I never have control over them.  Sometimes I'll even continue the narrative while I'm awake if I remember enough.

When I manage to fall asleep (seems to becoming worse and worse...), a majority of the time I actually do manage to dream. Unfortunately, my nightmares to dreams ratio has also sharply increased with it. Most of these are too fucked up to even discuss. I don't know what makes my brain think of some of the shit I think of when I'm asleep. The rest of my nightmares generally involve one of two things: my health, or my phobias. I've had plenty of dreams where my hair falls out (probably biggest phobia), I'm attacked by stinging insects, I'm stabbed, shot, or otherwise physically harmed, or things like being confined in super tight spaces (yes, I am claustrophobic). The other ones I've had are my teeth falling out (very poor oral hygiene that I intend to begin to fix on Saturday with a visit to the dentist, my first since 10 years) in a rather violent way, bad memories at school made 10x worse by my mind, family members dying, apocalyptic scenarios, etc. The list goes on and on. Only ones that involve pain of some sort I will awaken to - everything else eventually disappears and I continue sleeping.

Honestly, in terms of good dreams, I don't remember any of them remotely recently. Like I said, most of the time, I don't dream - but when I do, it seems to be a nightmare instead. Everything else I haven't described is shit that is beyond fucked up that I myself wonder about (could be a by-product of my ADHD and it's rapid fire thoughts)...

Also, I've never had a lucid dream. Not even once. Everything is out of my control. But they are only figments of my imagination when I sleep, so I generally just forget them...

I had nightmares as a very young child of cows chasing me...LOTS of dreams for years.  Not sure why.

Alot of my dreams are work related...train wrecks/derailments, switching industries and tracks that don't actually exist on my railroad, working with my current co-workers and people I have never met.  In the cases of derailments, I always tell my co-workers about them in case it is actually a warning about a future event.  In a few dreams, this one particular co-worker keeps wrecking trains on purpose.  I'll tell him about it and he just laughs.

I've had a few lucid dreams. My favorite was my very first one - I immediately realized I was in a dream and could fly, so I did, like a bird, over the city. it was absolutely stunning.

Lucky! I used to be able to lucid dream with practice, but I was never able to control anything besides making my own decisions, I'd usually wake up shortly after realizing it was a dream, and one time I forgot I was dreaming after a minute or so and it went back to being a normal dream. 

There was one time as a kid where I dreamt my sister and I were being chased by a monster, until I suddenly realized it was a dream. Then I asked my sister to shake my shoulders really hard to wake me up, she did, and it worked! No idea why I thought I was still in danger after realizing it wasn't real - I was just happy to find a way out of there!

[roadman65]

I had a dream where I had to watch my ex with her new boyfriend and me sit on the side to be forced to take it all in.  It was awful to experience it and scary when I woke up.  Though some may not consider it weird, I do in every aspect.

Sometimes our own subconcsious mind can be our own worst enemy as it can take over total control of ourselves and then create scenarios that we do not want in our sleep or prevent us in real life from doing things we need to do as well.

I've recently had two dreams that would make perfect chapters for a novel that I've been outlining, as well as one that would make a crushingly boring chapter for anyone who isn't a license-plate geek.

I once had a dream in which the Concorde tried to land on the '50's vintage, pre-reconstruction Downtown Connector in Atlanta, the part with bridges crossing over it every block. It was pretty spectacular.

In another dream, the MARTA bridge across I-85 had collapsed, and MARTA decided to try to jump its trains across the gap, which didn't come anywhere close to working. That was pretty spectacular, too.

There's another I thought of, too, but it'd probably kill the thread. 

...I immediately realized I was in a dream and could fly, so I did, like a bird, over the city. it was absolutely stunning.

For me, I can't fly, but I can jump v-e-r-y high--hundreds or thousands of feet-- and float gently back down, as though there's almost no gravity. Such dreams are reoccurent enough that I usually am amazed in the dream that other people still haven't figured out how to do it.

I've had one dream where I wasn't myself that I can recall. It was quite odd indeed. I was Bowser (Mario's rival in the Mario video games), and I was slowly walking in this huge white area (pretty much looks like a Progressive Commercial with no shelves or people or anything). I continued to walk slowly and oddly in this huge white area as Bowser, I could even remember seeing my claws in front of me. Then, all of a sudden, I start breathing fire, and it hurts. I wake up, and wala, there's puke all over my bed....what happened is pretty much self-explanatory..

Btw I had this dream a few years back, not recently.

Road-related: I've had a recurring dream that Newark, DE (where I grew up) decided to renumber all its addresses.

[Crazy Volvo Guy]

A few months back, I had a dream about a girl I had a -massive- crush on, back in high school.  The dream itself was particularly mundane; nothing really special.  After a load to the Pacific Northwest, I took a 34-hour reset, rented a car, and saw some sights, since I had never been there before; while on my little tour, I ran into the aforementioned former mega-crush.  What I had trouble remembering is whether I was in Seattle or Portland, but of course everything's a little off in a dream anyway.

This is where it gets weird - until 30 minutes ago, I thought she lived in Chicago; turns out, according to a mutual friend I was just on the phone with, she moved to Seattle around the first of the year.  I had the dream in May.

And while I was in training, a couple years ago, my trainer told me about a dream where he met a particularly beautiful woman, and spared me the details, but said "romance happened" - when he woke up the next morning to head into the rest area for the morning routine, the woman from his dream got out of the truck next to him.  My first thought - "You sure it was a dream?"

[Duke87]

I once had a dream about a dude I know suddenly turning into a woman and doing a striptease in front of a crowd. With Rage Against the Machine playing in the background.

Dreams can be pretty weird!

In high school i once dreamed i was pregnant. I'm pretty sure i was still male in the dream, but it wasn't an important factor.

At the time, i thought i was straight. To this day, even though i now acknowledge a small degree of gender uncertainty, i have no desire to nurture a baby or become pregnant or acquire female anatomy, so i still consider it a really weird dream.

On the other hand, a certain episode of Quantum Leap might be largely responsible...



In the same era, i had several dreams about smoking cigarettes, which i have never actually done. This can probably be blamed on an episode of Friends and some experimentation with campfire smoke on boy scout trips.



Sometimes i dream about fictional geography and roads. Often the geography seems consistent with previous dreams. Or i might dream about fictional or nonsensical signs in real places, like BGS on the two lane county road through my neighbourhood.

Weirdest dream I had was being a soldier in Vietnam and a Viet Cong captured me and was about to cut my leg off with a knife. I was barely born when Vietnam was going on.

A while back, I would have occasional dreams of being naked or underclothed in public (like walking with no pants on.

I just woke up from a doozy.  It was a Halloween special (I don't do anything for Halloween and barely acknowledge the day).  I dreamed that my web browser was redirected to a site that caused the browser to take over the computer.  It went full screen and prevented the use of any means of changing the page or shutting it down.  My only option was to force a computer shutdown.  While this was happening, it showed a video of people made up to look grotesque and horrifying.  I'm not easily disturbed by such things, but in the dream I was very uncomfortable and wanted the video to stop.  I didn't behave rationally and shut down the computer or the monitor so I could stop seeing it, but instead I kept clicking on controls that were covered up and "Ctrl+Alt+Delete"ing in a futile attempt to regain control, exposing me to the video for more time.  I awoke disturbed and unhappy.  Awake, the images aren't really that bad, but in the dream it was awful.

I fully believe that some dreams are a vision of the future.  I have deja-vu often, recognizing some conversations and series of events as dreams I had had sometime in the past.  It kinda weirds me out when it happens, but I think it's cool when it happens.

I had one freaking weird dream last night I just woke up from and can recall fairly clearly:

I was at the docks on the beach (can't recall the location of it though). I was with my "mom" but she wasn't my actual mom, and my "sister" though I don't even have a sister but my "sister" was apparently very hot. Then, we went to a bar, and I just ditched my family and went into the back of the bar. All of a sudden, I found a latex glove and I slapped myself in the face with it a few times, and I turned into a clown. I saw my "mom" again and she was acting all happy and sweet, and she's encouraging me to go to..clown college? Then, I don't remember the transition (this must be a seperate dream), but I was at the football coach's house (football coach at my school), and in the dream he has some hot daughters. I sneak through he house at night, and I find his daughters, and we all try to escape. One daughter says she likes me and I lean in for a kiss multiple times, but then she just jumps ontop of my head and starts doing cheerleader things. Then, the football coach is visible through the window, standing on the back porch looking for us. We ran for our lives, and I kept trying to kiss one of the football coach's daughters, but couldn't succeed, and then the dream ended....
