In this thread we shall share our half-remembered dreams of the past. Outlandish? Creepy? Meaningful? Meaningless? Anything. (As long as it doesn't break forum rules, of course) I would say I am one of the few people who isn't annoyed by people talking about their dreams, maybe it's an autism thing? I don't know. But either way, I'll start us off.
When I was maybe 6, I remember my Mom had some book (from her monolithic collection of horror and thriller novels) that had a picture of a cat in profile. Since it was in profile you could only see one eye. So to me it was a cyclops cat (which spawned in me a long lasting fear of cyclopes). In the dream this cyclops cat walked into Moe's tavern from the Simpsons (I've watched the Simpsons for as long as I can remember) and sat down with Homer, some weird sunglasses wearing guy, and myself. I also remember the cat talking about how the sun rotates around the earth, and me correcting him. That's most of what I remember. I recall talking about this dream a lot since, because it's the oldest dream I can remember, and it's actually one of my oldest memories.
I'm making this a twofer. Not longer after the previous dream (no more than a year probably) I had one about this particular singing Spider-Man toy I had that sang "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider". Anyway, in the dream I'm playing with the toy in the wee hours of the morning and the toy looks at me and says, in a very deep and gravelly voice, "Should you really be playing right now?" and then gets really close to my face and says "hum hum" (that's not an onomatopoeia or anything, he just actually said "hum hum"). And he said it in this really drawn out menacing low tone.
Anyways, those are mine. Anyone else wanna share?
I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe.

One of the earliest dreams I remember having was one where I watched my dad’s head float off his neck and the rest of his body rolled up like a burrito. It’s imagery that is still in my head 25+ years later.
I always have dreams where i'm at a place and i have to video ceiling fans and i try to video them in a specific order and something keeps getting in my way, or dreams involving those douglas fir talking christmas trees that never seem to turn off
Years ago I had a dream where I went to a Pink Floyd concert and the only thing I remember is that they played a +30 minute rendition of Dogs. It was extremely depressive, like a song by Have a Nice Life, and that the Ambient section of the song before Waters' verse was much, much longer, like a third of the songs' length. I keep thinking about it because it sounds awesome as hell.
Oh and I also had a dream recently where I pulled a wrestling move on some kid and somehow I snapped his neck, killing him, so my mom had to hide the body.

i had a dream about a couple who are breaking up and the girlfriend watches a vhs tape as a means of comfort, what she doesnt know is the tape is literally cursed that will literally turn you body into a skinsuit all you have to do is breathe while watching the tape. the boyfriend warns her about this before but for whatever reason never got rid of it. so the guy basically drove back as fast as he can but it was too late and his ex was just a flat piece of skin and the screen of the tv said you failed! multiple times. so uh yeah that happened.
I had a dream where I was hanging out with Finn and Jake from Adventure Time having a grand old time, and then I painfully turned into a snail and had to go through an obstacle course while my snail trail was just me bleeding, and I was going through intense pain

Oh, this should be fun. Let me see what I can pull up from my what I remember. No real order or anything though, and this probably says a lot about me as a person. I might have to do this in parts to break things up so it isn't one massive wall of text.
1. I think I had this dream when I was maybe five or so. I know I was still in daycare, but that's about it time wise. It had a Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry vibe to it and I'm in a wrestling ring going against a giant - or I'm seeing things from a third person perspective and it's someone else. At some point, the smaller wrestler takes out a spike and hammers it into the giant's foot. The giant screams in pain and grabs the smaller wrestler, picking him up and screaming so loudly into their face that it kills them. It was so cartoonish, but also felt kind of real.
2. This happened around the same time in the late 90s, so '97-'99, another daycare era dream. In it, me, the other kids I went there with and the high school aged kids who would come over now and then for community service were at the local pool. Me and two of the high schoolers are in the locker room getting ready to head out and are ambushed by someone dressed as Ghostface. They proceed to attack the one of the students and me and the other one run to hide in the showers. I recall one of them getting attacked just outside where I was hiding and there was an unusual amount of blood. The last thing I remember was Ghostface finding me, stabbing me, and then I woke up.
3. I don't remember a lot about this one, but I was a junior in high school at the time from what I remember. It was set in the midst of the zombie apocalypse and I'm still in school. The building gets overrun with zombies and me, a few classmates, and one or two of my teachers are trying to find an alternate way to get out. One minute we're in the air vents and the next we somehow end up in the basement where the locker rooms, weight room, and some of the other classrooms are but it has a Nightmare on Elm Street vibe to it with the boiler room. My chem teacher or one of my classmates fell behind and proceeded to get eaten in the shadows. At some point, we're all running towards a house in the countryside, which I think belonged to my English teacher - and then it just ends.
4. Another daycare era dream incoming! This one was fairly normal compared to the other ones with over the top violence. I'm on the playground wandering around in this. It's cloudy out and starting to get dark like we're expecting rain, except it comes on really quick and it gets everyone's attention. The wind picks up and from out of one of the clouds is a massive red dragon, resembling a mythical sea dragon with how it moved. It blows fire everywhere, burning everything around it before flying off. In a cartoonish fashion, it jumps to a third person perspective of it flying into space and the planet explodes like the Death Star. Again, fairly...normal compared to the others.

I've got one that immediately comes to mind. I was like 10 when I had this dream. It began with Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. appearing in a black void with a flashlight, explaining how light was lethal to monsters like him. To demonstrate, he turns it on and points it at his face. His arms, legs, and face begin to shrivel away into his body until he's left a body with one leg and horns. Suddenly a rumbling starts and this giant grasshopper like monster approaches Mike. He reappears on top of his body, but smaller, red, and without arms. He sees the grasshopper monster approaching and panics, walking in place on his head, causing it to slowly hop forward on its one remaining leg. The chase lasts for a bit, but Mike is too slow, and the grasshopper monster grabs him and graphically devours him.
The grasshopper monster is eaten by a bigger monster, and that monster by an even bigger monster, until we finally come to the end of the food chain with a giant living goldfish cracker in a fishbowl, which spoke in a female voice with a slight southern drawl. My pov was being thrown into the fish's mouth, holding within it several smaller versions of itself, they swam around my POV, before a booming voice said something along the lines of "OOOH, SOMETHIN'S NOT GOIN' DOWN RIGHT!". The fish began to panic, and all of a sudden, the POV was flung out of the goldfish's mouth, out of the fishbowl entirely. As it came back down, the goldfish exclaimed "ALL FOR THE LADY CRAP!" and opened its mouth to eat the camera. As soon as the camera hit it, I woke up.
So, there you have it. Mike Wazowski and swearing goldfish crackers.
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

This is probably my favourite one yet. So trippy.
Complaining about something is not the same as being surprised about it
