This topic stemming from another thread...but about us. I just had an ex-girlfriend(from 3 years ago) call me freakin' out. She said she dreamed I walked into her living room while she watched tv, and simply said "I'm drowning". She says she then woke up feeling as if it were a nasty nightmare. I haven't figured it out...but what about you....ever have a out-of-body dream that really freaked you out?

I used to dream a LOT about my ex. It's been over 2 years now so the dreams aren't as frequent. EVERY one would freak me out.
And yes... I have a recurring dream that's pretty wicked.
Reader's Digest version: When I was about 3 years the 21 year old daughter of my grandparent's next door neighbor disappeared. There was NO trace of her. Nothing. She was NEVER found. That's a fact.
I have this dream of me standing outside of my granparent's basement watching HER father bury a big black bag in the dirt(this was an old house with a dirt basement). I KNOW there is a body in there.
The dream sort of evolved and changed over the years... but there is always a big black bag or sack that he is burying.

I used to have nightmares (i call them NewsMares) about being alone in the newsroom when a big news story breaks, usually plane crash.
About 9 years into my career I was working weekends in Charlotte and just after the 6pm show on July 4th weekend USAir Flight 1016 crashed at Charlotte Douglas Airport.
When it happened, there was an intern on the desk, I was about to leave the newsroom to nuke my dinner and my anchor was getting ready to leave for dinner. She's the one who heard the scanner (the intern was on the phone).
Man I felt like it was Deja Vu. never had the dream again... (the newsmares switched to my producing a show in the booth that I had no hand in preparing and it's extremely light... like 10 minutes light and we have to tap dance... but now that I'm not a line producer, those are gone, too.)

I had recieved word, my dad was in the hospital, not doing well. That night after I had gone to sleep, I had this dream that all four of my deceased grandparents were standing around his hospital bed. A little later, my nephew called and said he had just passed away. THAT was spooky.

On a personal note....I collect guns(don't worry, it's a hobby thing)...but every so often I have a dream where someone is chasing me and I have a gun, yet can't pull the trigger. This from a guy who's won a sharpshooting contest. It's like the trigger is sooooo hard to pull, I get scared and wake up.

I haven't had a memorable dream in years. Reading Lenscrafter's post makes me glad of that fact.

Do you ever have a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Why am I the only one who has that dream?

I hate this dream: I dream that I wake up on time for work, shower, get dressed, my wife makes me a great breakfast, and my kids are all dressed and sparkling clean waiting for me to walk them to school with bright shiny faces.
Why do I hate that dream? Because right afterwards, I wake up for real to find out that I'm late, no time for a shower, the wife's still sound asleep, there's nothing for breakfast because no one thought to buy milk last night and both kids are playing in their pajamas because they both conveniently forgot they had school that day. WTF?! ARGH!!!! ![[Mad]](mad.gif) ![[Frustrated]](graemlins/face_banghead.gif)

I had a dream once that I was in an enormous parking lot full of cars. I knew that I was being tracked down by men in suits. They may have been government types (FBI or CIA). I'm not sure but the dread I felt was palpapble. I just ran and dodged between cars in a real panic. I finally got into a car and as I started to relax realized that there was someone sitting next to me. It was a man in a suit but he had a clown face; full clown make-up but normal hair and wearing a conservative navy blue suit with tie. In a dead sounding voice with absolutely no emotion he said, "You should have known that you wouldn't be able to get away from us. Are you ready to admit that now?" The dream ended with me just sobbing and giving up.
That dream still haunts me. No wonder people hate clowns.

There's another that freaks me out. Every so often I'll have a dream where someone is in my face screaming at the top of their lungs. This while looking right at me. I need to get one of those dream analysis books....and jot down my dreams before I forget them.

If your childhood consisted of these types of screams in reality...ouch. I feel for you. I'm glad I get to wake up. It's rare...maybe even a case of eating too late...but it's nothing I would joke about.

Well, not to be maudlin, but I was abused as a child.
Of course some of it was self-inflicted.
Damn, there I go again making fun of it. I appreciate the sympathy, but save your pity; I lived. I didn’t have it as bad as other kids; I didn’t even have it as bad as my Dad. He was a Marine officer and children had to be controlled. Living in fear will make that happen. Being screamed at was always better than the alternatives.
Back to the topic, I once dreamed I was shot & killed while failing to protect my mother from a gun wielding homeless woman (who suddenly appeared in my parents den). I’m pretty sure it had something to do with feeling real guilty about something. Since I rarely remember my dreams, so I don’t worry about it too much.

Anyone else have the producer dream? Where you're about 5 minutes from the end of the show, you're about 6 minutes over, and you've forgotten how to add?
Errr.
For a while after a dear friend of mine died, I'd have dreams where he was talking with me. He'd always have some sort of cryptic advice about my life.
Last dream he was in, he told me my job was killing me. It's really made me reconsider my life.
Of course, I also dreamed I was a glowworm in a tuna sandwich recently, for what that's worth.

I once dreamed a woman reached out and held my hand at a green wooden picnic table under a tree in Central Park.
Strange, because I'd never been in Central Park and didn't think such tables existed.
Four months later I was walking through the park and saw that exact table and the tree! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Twenty years in radio and I still have the "dead air" dream: song ends, nothing's ready, can't find the next item to play, and the equipment doesn't work. Oh, yeah - and I'm naked, too.
For years until I went back and finished college, I had one that recurred where I didn't officially finish high school - there had been a mistake, and I needed to go back and take one class (usually a composition class, or something like that). After I graduated, they ended.

Hmmm. You do know what a gun represents in the dream world, right? And you say you can't pull the trigger?

I have frequent dreams about airplanes--either really weird flights on which I am a passenger, and then aircraft takes off from Interstates, or, when I am watching from the ground as a plane, always a large jet, is in trouble and then crashes, then I help the victims. I try not to think about taking trips any time before bed.
And I also often have dreams that I have, for whatever reason, been forced to return to college and I have forgotten how to take notes and am perpetually late and forgetting to do homework... which is the opposite of how I was as a student.

I rarely have freaky dreams, but i do experience sleep paralysis on occasion... that freaked me out a LOT until i learned how to bring myself out of it.

Classic Anchor Dream: heading to the set, you sit down, you realize you don't have a script, and nobody has prepared any script. It's not just that you misplaced it, the script doesn't exist!
So you sit there, and try to remember all the news of the day.
Doesn't everyone have that dream?

When I was on the morning shift...I always set my alarm for 2pm....but I'd routinely wake up at 1:40ish. Then I'd get 2 minutes naps until the alarm actually went off. (no dream, just felt like blinking....I'd look over, it'd be 1:42am. I'd blink, look over, it'd be 1:45.....
