Are you taking any prescription meds Mill?

I've had dreams like that a couple of times, but they were usually drug induced.

oooh...I've had the same recurring dream for years now..it begins with one of my teeth feeling loose..then it falls out...blood drips out....then all my teeth slowly start to crumble and fall out..

and I'm always thinking, "THIS time, it's for real!! My teeth really are falling out this time!!!"

then i have to hold my palms out in front of my face to catch all the pouring blood and crumbling teeth.

...horrible :(

I've had a good amount of nested dreams lately where I'm dreaming I'm dreaming. I think the furthest I've got is dreaming I'm dreaming I'm dreaming I'm dreaming. I'll have an actual dream at the lowest layer and keep waking up and explaining my dream each time. Then when I wake up for real I'm all alone and I can't tell it to anyone :(

LMFAO, admit you pissed yourself!!

I'll admit the same thing :eek:

About 8-9 years ago I had the best dream of my life, I was in bathroom that looked like the Taj Mahal. The bathroom had a bright white light in it that reminded me of the stories people have when discussing near death experiences. The tiles were sparkling, everything was white, it was the most beautiful, shiny, spotless bathroom I had ever seen. As I started to take a piss with the biggest smile in my face I woke up with a little accident. The only thing I could do was hysterically start laughing, it was by far the most vivid dream I have ever had.. I can't believe I just admitted this, LOL

Heh. No, didn't piss myself. I always seem to dream of water when I have a full bladder. Or I dream that I can't find a public bathroom with privacy. Like there is a toilet right out in the middle of a sidewalk, or it's a unisex bathroom with no stall doors.

I used to have dreams that my sister went crazy, and started killing other kids in our area. Then, I had to build a chicken wire cage to keep her in. She would always break out and eventually started trying to kill my family. So, I put her back in her cage and then lit a huge fire around the cage. I still haven't figured out how this one ends, though.

Had a dream once where I killed somebody ... with an axe I think. Don't know why. But in the dream, I was running from the cops, looking for someplace to hide, etc. I somehow ended up in this house, and couldn't stay awake any longer, so I went to sleep. Then I woke up for real, scared sh|tless because the dream was so real, and I heard sirens outside nearby. I was ready to run out of the house away from the sirens. Finally figured it out because in the dream there was nobody around, or in bed with me, but in real life, my wife was there. Was a real vanilla-sky moment.

Only trippy dreams I can ever remember are 1) being crushed by huge boulders rolling down a hill and 2) the one where the Predator layed me down on a bed of long nails and jumped on my with big flat feet so I became impaled. Then he laughed, and I saw myself die. *mommy i scurred!*

I hate it when I die in my dream, like actually fade-to-black....and then everything remains black until I wake up. It probably has to do with the idea that my version of "hell" would be nothing but darkness and my own thoughts......booooooring!!!

I'm glad to read this since I expect Mill to pull up in our driveway in a few minutes to visit Skoorbaby. If there are no posts from myself or Mrsskoorb within the next few days somebody please alert the police. Thanks!

FWIW I used to always have the dream where I can't pull the trigger. I still do sometimes. It's REALLY hard to pull and requires all my strength and I just can't pull it much. An older variation of that was: I'd be able to pull the trigger but the bullets were always REALLY weak.

I almost never have dreams. Maybe like one every few months. Or, maybe when people tell me I can't remember them that's what it is.

At least that means I almost never have nightmares too.

Another thing I hate in my dreams is when I'm chasing/running away or fighting. I almost always lose. Reason being that I tend to move in my sleep (kicked my cat off the bed once when I dreamed about soccer) and if my body can't move because it's sleeping....then I move like molasses in my dreams. There is the occasional exception....once I woke with a hole in the dry-wall next to me.

That's funny. I almost always dream at night. I don't usually remember details.....just that I had a dream.

The best dream of your life was urinating in a clean bathroom?
