Not nightmares, but just strange states of mind sort of dreams, where you're not even sure if it's your dream or not.

Aside from having a fever, eating weird things right before going to bed, or doing any sorts of drugs, what other causes for vivid, odd dreams might there be ?

Anyone ?

I've had a couple of all timers this week.

I have bizarre dreams often these days. They're usually centered around a previous job I had with a very demanding boss. I'm always late or un-prepared, or in some sort of trouble.

Another is I'm in a strange unfamiliar place, a city with dark alleys and weird buildings. I'm lost, trying to get home. I'm wandering around from place to place and no one can help me.

The positive is that at least I'm not naked in them. I think they're caused by stress and anxiety over some thing or things.

Best I have so far is that it's the changing season, and the shift from daylight saving time. Screwed up my sleep patterns.

I hada dream a couple months ago where I was floating on a raft and a tornado hit and I FELT the water and the wind rushing by. It was such an extreme sensation and I wasn't sure where I was when I woke up. There was a study last year that said intense dreams are a combination of temperature and hormone activity, and I also think there are periods of intense focus that you have during the night-especially if you have been focusing harder during the day.... Anything you eat that came from something they put hormones in or has 'em naturally could do it too.

For some reason I have always had natural disaster dreams. I remember a hail dream when I was very young, and volcano and lightning dreams too.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I think all of my dreams are bizarre, but unfortunately I don't remember most of them as soon as I wake. There have been a few that stick with me (at least certain scenes) for days afterwards. A couple of nights ago I had one where I think I was watching a documentary film on aliens among us, but I was certain that most of it was faked, until someone I was with revealed their true self.

Years and years ago, around the time Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth came out, I had a very vivid dream about the apocalypse, although I was not in the middle of the action myself, but rather watching events on the TV news.

When I was young I had recurring dreams of being trapped between enclosing walls, and this was years before that Star Wars scene in the garbage bay. Sometimes I was in the water with two big ships getting closer together and I was trying to swim faster to get out from in between them, other times I was in a dark city on a narrow street or alley with the buildings getting closer and closer together.

Today, I interpret those to mean I felt trapped in my life at the time. I was raised in a very strict religious family, nearly everything revolved around church activities. However, I was sure I didn't believe what my parents believed, and at times I was convinced I was not only adopted but maybe an alien myself, since I seemed to think differently than anyone else around me.

I still feel that way, not only about my family, but the world in general.

Dunno about bizarre, but both my blood pressure med, and the anti depressant I take for anxiety list vivid dreaming as a side effect. And I do... very strong, very visual, memorable dreams that I'm aware that I'm dreaming as I have them. Images from my past, alternative life choices I could have made, regrets, I suppose.

The most recent dream I had, I remember feeling very hot, as if my electric blanket was on 'high', but in fact, it wasn't on at all. Normally, if I'm feeling hot like that, I'd just kick some cover off, and cool down, but I didn't. It was one of those really deep sleeps, where I'd almost wake up, and could tell myself I was dreaming, but just could not wake up entirely. It was really odd.

I have natural disaster dreams too. Mega disasters. Like Deep Impact, Chicxulub meteor strike level stuff. Waves 1000's of feet high. Or F-5 tornadoes, too. Never mere 'twisters', but ginormous, loud monsters. It's like I'm stuck in the middle of being awed by the unbelievable sight I'm witnessing, and near panic mode, but neither one or the other.

This doesn't relate to dreaming, but it's funny nontheless....When we first moved here for the first year and a half, I would wake up SWEARING that someone was in my room and ***talking to me, but there was never anyone there by the time I woke up... There is no worse feeling, by the way. I thought I was going to have a heart attack many of those nights. Then one night I woke up and couldn't sleep so I took a walk around the outside of the house as I often do before bed to clear out the cobwebs and secure the perimeter, heh, and I heard a familiar voice that I had often heard in my room- The neighbors son arriving home from work at 3 in the morning and talking to his ride very loudly about what time he was to be picked up the next day. Apparently the sound of his voice bounced perfectly off my bedroom window and amplified it because it's extra recessed. Thankfully, they moved weeks later.....Pretty sure I aged a decade in that year, and I was starting to actually believe in ghosts at one point

I've had a few waking dreams where I was able to change the "reality." An example: I was in an elevator, and wanted it to be glass so I could see out. I put my hand on the door, but I knew it couldn't just change. That didn't fit the "rules." So I made the door slide open, and a glass panel was behind it. Very Matrix. Another example: I was driving along a beach and there was a loud noise and I knew a giant dinosaur was about the come over the hill next to the beach. But at the last second I decided that was too scary, so I made it be a helicopter instead.

It was very cool. I wish I could make these dreams happen more.

As for normal dreams, I've had some doozies. One I remember in particular, maybe because when I woke up and wrote it down. It had a whole long involved story. The part that sticks out is when I came upon a car accident on the side of the road. This is a complete copy of a scene in a movie, but I can't recall which one. In the movie the two main characters encountered a woman at the scene of the accident who walked around muttering and bleeding, then she died. In my dream, I encountered a disembodied head. She was still alive. I picked it up and told her to look me in the eye, to not look around and just look at me. I was trying to keep her from realizing what had happened to her, to keep her distracted until she died. She had dark hair and dark panicked eyes. It was incredibly vivid and horrible.

ETA: I figured out the movie. Wild at Heart.

Yeah, I'm traveling and can't sleep, so will post yet more weird stuff...

Here's the scene: David Lynch, Laura Dern, and Nicholas Cage before he did "Gone is Sixty Seconds" and lost all respect I once had for him.

Folks say they don't remember their dreams, but I sure as hell do. Not ' all ' of them, but certainly dozens and dozens. And not just the scary ones either.

Some are quite nice, and others are just fanciful, unlike any thing I can tie to any life experiences. Those are the rare ones.

But one scary one I do recall, involved a dinosaur. I guess I was trying to imagine what it'd be like to actually have a T.Rex hunt you down. Not fun. I don't know if humans have a collective memory of being hunted on the ancient savannah or not, but if that is the case, it'd make a lot of sense to keep that fear in our heads.

( side note from the post above, on Nicholas Cage... I started watching Dresden Files, on Netflix. I didn't remember, or never knew, but Nicholas Cage was one of the exec producers of that show. )

TWO

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

The dream is real from this week; the dialog is reconstructed. Nathan is showing the hosts of Entertainment Tonight his home built with Castle money. One room is the bridge of Serenity. He brags, "Almost everything, even the floor plates and pipes, were originally from the movie or TV show. We searched every Hollywood junkyard and L.A. landfill, I mean set storage yards, for this. There's projection screens behind the windshield. . . When I want to feel all captainy I sit in the pilot's chair and look at the stars." Going outside, Nathan's garage door is Serenity's main airlock. He lowers the door with his remote control on his keychain. "It's practically a drawbridge on a castle! Pun intended," says Nathan. Behind the door is Serenity's cargo bay filled with his sporty and luxury cars.

Then I wake. Belatedly I realize the bizarre part was Nathan was wearing his Browncoat, suspenders and Mal pistol on Entertainment Tonight. Is that how he dresses causal when he is home?

ZEEK

I have bizarre dreams all the time. I don't take any medication and I'm fairly bland and repetitive with my food choices. Maybe I should log what I ate the day before when I remember a bizarre dream to see if there's a pattern.

One I had this week wasn't too crazy as far as my dreams go. It was about going on vacation with friends to a cabin. Soon people started getting killed and it was a pretty remote place so we figured one of us was doing it. We were trying to go through it logically but then the dead people turned into zombies and panic and chaos ensued. Still more people were getting killed and eventually we figured out which one of us must be doing it. So, some of us got back in the cabin and barricaded all but one door so the guy would have to come through there. We had a gun and were trying to lay in wait but one girl just couldn't seem to shut up. So, our plan wasn't going too well. Sadly one of our other friends came busting through the door running from zombies and we shot him. Then had to run from the zombies that were following him. We ran right into the murderer and I grabbed the gun to shoot him but it was out of bullets. For some reason he killed everyone but me and I woke up. Somehow I wasn't scared by any of that. Good times.

i had a bizarre dream recently where I had these awful kind of creatures like leeches behind my eyes. I went to a doctor, who forced a hose of water into my eye, and then I watched her removed 4 leeches and put them into a jar. I could feel all this as I watched it.

" That sounds like science fiction "

I know lack of sleep can lead to real doozies. Been an odd week, and today I came home and had a nap. Usually don't take naps during the week, but I crashed for 5 hours. That's more sleep than I was getting all night for most of the week. Hopefully that has me caught up, and I can get back to 'normal'.
