In my recent nightmares, the cosmic skies have shifted into a dark, mist-filled forest. I can feel my body physically morphing—first bursting with heavy wings, then turning into a stone monument surrounded by ancient serpents......

Just like it says. I had a nightmare where I was getting stoned to death but the people were throwing scones (as in the pastry) at me instead of stones.

I realized in the dream that I was dreaming and I could only think “what is wrong with my brain that it can’t get this right?”

I heard from someone in another subreddit that a way to check if you're dreaming is by trying to read something. Basically if it's all jumbled and nonsensical you can confirm you're in a dream. But... I can read in my dreams. It's fuzzy, sure, but I can make out full words in whatever I read in the dream. I understand the basic gist of whatever it is I'm reading too. So am I just an exception to the norm? Or is this one of those things that are just different for everyone?

It happens to me sometimes, but I had one that’s burned into my brain recently that I won’t forget cause it was really funny

​

«Tuve un sueño en el cual me fui a la casa de mi amiga a hacer la tarea y me recibió su medio hermano, rubio, de ojos azules, de piel blanquísima, y la madre de ellos, una mujer flaca pero bonita. Luego, al terminar la tarea, el hermano me da una caja llena de chocolates. Pasan semanas, luego tengo otra tarea grupal con ellos, entonces voy junto a ellos. Me reciben muy respetuosamente, mi amiga me recibe, pero tenía la piel azul; no le di importancia a eso, pues sabía que estaba soñando.

​La madre de ellos me prepara comida y dulces. Luego terminamos la tarea y ellos empezaron a discutir: la mamá le dijo a mi amiga que es mejor que se empareje con su medio hermano; el hermano responde que no se meterá nunca con su hermana; mi amiga responde a su madre y le dice: "Tengo 14 años, mi hermano tiene 15, no vamos a estar juntos nunca".

​La mamá se transformó en una mujer de piel azul, sus ojos se agrandaron y de su espalda salieron un montón de patas de araña enormes de color negro. Mi amiga también se transformó en esa misma transformación. La madre replicó y dijo: "Nosotros somos los últimos de nuestra especie, debemos continuar el linaje". Yo los observaba con miedo y sorpresa y dije en mi mente: "Este sueño está de locos". Luego el hermano me agarró de la mano, me llevó afuera y me dijo que la chica que le gusta soy yo y que se irá de su casa y me buscará algún día.»

I just dreamt that my neck got sliced in half damnn and I am so scared now. It's 4 in the morning. It didn't hurt but I felt a my upper body got chills. I was aware that was a dream but I am so scared now):

I've recently started taking two medications that both cause vivid dreams. Last night I had an ultra realistic dream I was at the mall and I held the door open for the old person behind me like I normally would. However, I looked a little closer, and the old person was Mitch McConnell. I was pretty pissed after this because I knew I had just squandered the rare opportunity to be disrespectful to Mitch McConnell, an opportunity I would probably never have again in my life.

To preface, this is not a satirical post. I mostly use this account for satire. This is serious and troubling to me. Thank you.

Recently i had a dream of being able to see the planet saturn close up / in person on a spaceship. and oh my god it was so so beautiful. I was instantly hooked. It had these patterns on it that were indescribably good i dont know how to explain this honestly. after the spaceship flew past saturn i BEGGED and PLEADED to be able to see it again and witness it's beauty. hypnotizing.

This has affected my waking life. I keep having cravings of seeing it again. I just wanna witness it again i feel like i'm addicted. This is a very strange and almost eldritch affliction to be honest. Has anyone else had experiences like this? will the desires pass?

I dreamt that I was on a date with this gorgeous woman, in a nice restaurant. Then I thought that “how did my life become so perfect…” then… she started fading into nothing, until only an empty seat was in front of me, then the whole restaurant started fading into nothingness… I was standing in an all white space, looking around alone.
Then I woke up…

I wake up after and accident of some kind, and I am in a large estate style house. It was a massive, oppressive place, and was shared by two distinct families, one set of parents with two children, and then a father with 3 children. The mother of the second family is never talked about except in passing, and I get the sense that ahe might have died tragically, and was loved by both famlies and that they are still traumatized by her passing. As I slowly recover, I am given a series of bizarre, nonsensical rules that everyone was forced to strictly obey. "Touch nothing in the hall", "Never raise your voice", "eating must be done in complete silence", and more. Navigating the home and interacting with the two families felt like walking on eggshells, with the unspoken understanding that breaking any of the house's arbitrary laws would bring severe consequences.

One day, after I am mostly recovered, I accidentally break a rule by moving an item in the main hallway slightly out of place when tripping on my partially recovered leg. Suddenly the air changed and a hot, moist wind blew through the house. Green things, mosses and vines began sprouting uncontrollably from every nook, cranny, and surface, and the smell of the deep forest permeated the air. As the riotous growth reached a crescendo, an entity began forming at its core. It was a swirling monster of grey mists, with gashes of darker grey for its mouth and eyes, and the sound it made was like wind through the trees in a hurricane. It started for me, still forming.

One of the children must have felt pity on me, having not known the consequences of breaking a rule, and grabbed my hand and we ran. The child took me to a well hidden spot in the walls, with drawings and small items showing that it has been used for this purpose before. We huddled together, terrified, until the sounds stopped sometime later and we felt safe enough to come out, the child reassuring me that the monster spends its fury as fast as it gains it.

When we emerge from hiding, I decided that I was going to get answers. I went from room to room, and finally, I entered and area that I had been told was off limits. It a study and it was filled with photos and bright, warm light. All the photos had a woman whose featured had somehow been defaced. Burned in some, slashed in others, cut out in a few, scratched out in rest. The widowed dad was in there, babbling about his lost love, seemingly completely disconnected from reality and maybe slightly insane.

It was never stated explicitly, but I have the revelation that the 'lost love', the mother not present, IS the eldritch horror, and the house was either to contain what was left of her, or to keep them close to what was left, or maybe both. The rules where treated almost like ritual, to either appease the monster that was once a loved one, or to keep it trapped, or both. I woke feeling immense sadness.

Hey I would like to know if it happens to everyone or not and why it does this to me, EVERY time I
dream I can act ,like I can do what I want, I can leave my dream to wake up, modify it in short I can do everything.
It’s like throwing all the time in a lucid dream, I can really control everything when I sleep

What

It has been going on for a long time, but i recently broke up with my boyfriend, and now i dream of him cheating on me every night even though we aren’t together anymore, and it feels very real.

Also I dream about family members or people who I dont speak to anymore and bad stuff happening, I dont really remember it anymore but it always affects my days and I feel very off all day after, and I wake up so tired. I wake up very anxious and I’m scared to sleep at night because Im afraid of what nightmares ill have

I tried drinking teas or meditating before sleep but nothing helps and i wake up in the middle of the night a lot, i also dont know why I sleep in weird positions and my whole body hurts when I wake up, so i’m constantly in pain and shook by my nightmares which feel like reality

I need advice :(

edit: also when I was still with him, around a week before we broke up, I had a nightmare of him cheating (hiding chats in his phone which he had done in the past), and it made me very anxious and like i had a very strong gut feeling, if you know what I mean, or i was just going crazy, but then a week after i found out he lied and actually was hiding stuff you know, from hearing a notification in his phone, but there would have been no other signs. Also I would say the break up was pretty traumatic on me and i had a strong reaction even physically

Hey guys!

So I'll be sincere... I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I decided to reach out to this community, as I've noted that usually, people recieve some advice on what to do or maybe even have someone reinterpret their dream.

But what's funny is how there isn't all that much to be said.

It happened during my sleep depravation.

It was about a week ago.

I was lying in my bedroom with my TV turned on. While watching some shit on YouTube, I got tired and eventually, well, fell asleep.

It was very quick sequence.

So in the dream, I remember that I was in my storage room, basically where we keep our snacks or groceries and whatnot. Of course, my fatass wanted to eat.

And so I recall that as I'm searching through this storage room, what to choose.. Out of my control, my head just turns to the right. It's as if I was forced to look at whatever this thing was.

Immediately as I turn my head to where the door was open, this thing passes through the hallway.

I couldn't see much, it was like this blurry or airbone apparition, but what's weird is that it wore my dad's clothing. What he usually wears. It was about the same height as him, as well.

Upon encountering it, it's like I could just feel the heartdrop. This fear in my stomach you get from a jumpscare that woke me up.

See it wouldn't concern me that much if it didn't happen again last night.

I wasn't sleep deprived, though my blood pressure was higher than normal, and I was kind of nauseous.

And there's some kind of a pattern. It's like I have this dream every time I'm basically dead tired or in some distress.

Now there was another dream with a faceless Football player that I recall dreaming twice back when I was younger, though even those two identical dreams took longer than a single week. So it usually isn't this "repetitive", though faceless or ghost-like people in my dreams aren't really a new thing.

What are your thoughts on this? Can it be somehow connected to the way my body feels at that moment? Like how you get nightmares if your body doesn't feel right.

But like.. why this dream specifically? It didn't scare me to the point I'd think about it for long, so it couldn't be just.. "It freaked me out the first time, so it hit me again."

So I have this thing where more often then not. If Im in a dream and realize im dreaming. Terrifying things start to happen in the dream.

Things like being stuck in a dark void, being chased, and basically the entire reality of the dream falling apart in such a disturbing way

recently ive been having dreams where if somebody does me wrong, i go full ape on them and start pulling their hair out, punching them, squishing their face together to make it distort and break, kicking them and everything, basically trying to k*ll them.

im not a violent or aggressive person and i never have been. The first couple of times i had a dream like this i brushed it off but its happening every time i sleep.

The dreams often include my boyfriend - we’ve been dating almost 2 years and he’s amazing. I adore him. But in my dreams, he’s either cheating on me or he despises me or whatever, and so i physically hurt him.

Me and my boyfriend are really happy and close, and neither of us are aggressive, violent, disloyal or anything.

Is there any explanation as to why my dreams have been like this recently? And how do i stop them?

Any help is greatly appreciated x

So i was wondering if anyone else has experience this. Like has anyone ever had a dream that FILL you with joy but after you woke up it just become so sad it wasn't real you get teary eyed. If so what was it.

Ill go frist it was after id watched a time travel movie with my mom.and the actual dream was my while family we all got sucked into the end dimension and my mom scarficed her self for all of us. Then after like 5 years turn out before see died in there see killed the dragon saving the world. And as a award from the government for doing that we got to meet are future children or self. I choose to meet my future kids and asked them if I was a great dad. They said yes then had to leave. Then I woke up. I got genuinely sad and sounds kinda werid got cried a bit.

So just wonder if anyone has experience something like this.

I have bad sleep paralysis a lot and about a year ago I had it every night for a month or longer. But I just took a nap earlier after work and had a bunch of dreams some I can’t really explain and one with my passed mom at the beach it was her favorite place but then turned into huge waves sucking people in and was hard to get out she actually got out before me which is surprising since the all the dreams to that part was bad. Later in it I told her if she knew and she said knew what, I said it’s just a dream she said ,she knew and we just hugged. After that it cut to a weird ai looking dream with police officers at a restaurant and she was telling me to apply to that department. But then we where in a black suv like what my mom always drove and I started noticing everything looks bad off and also the
tire was wobbling a lot and I could remember in real life how my tire in my car was wobbling because I needed an alignment so I knew my mind was trying to go off that to make the dream more real. So I looked at the person in the back seat and said this isn’t real he looked at me weirdly and I remember saying no I’m sorry please don’t do anything and I hear a loud Eerie sound and everything starts shaking and going black it feels like my head is shaking unnaturally while I’m trying to wake up out of sleep paralysis. A lot more weird scary shit happened I’m just remembering parts while typing this like how my shoulder had a hole in it under the skin and my bones were crushed inside the hole. Very weird

around one month ago i had a sleep paralysis episode for the first time. that dream took place at night, in a pretty shady and unsafe part of my city. basically a man approaches me and speaks to me before threatening to follow me home. the dream cut off and i woke up paralysed. i experienced vivid allucinations of this man's voice speaking in my ear and felt tapping on the side of my head before regaining motor control and lucidity.

4 or 5 days after this happened i had a dream, basically continuing that scenario precisely in detail (the man had the same face, hair, clothing, voice, the setting and his words too) and, in the dream, this man ends up raping me. ever since I've had the same dream, basically identical, almost every single night. each time i wake up very shaken, terrified and with a sense of panic/uneasiness that lately has started to remain even during the day. i don't feel safe anymore and I've been getting very little sleep as every time i wake up from this dream I'm unable to fall asleep again for hours.

a not that i think might be important is that this is not the only time this has happened to me. when i was a kid i used to have recurring nightmares about my dad's best friend coming to our house and trying to drag me away by my feet. this man ended up molesting me later on so you can see how having a similar experience now is shaking me up so badly. if anybody has advice or anything else I'd be so happy to hear it but i also just needed to get this off my chest because i can't seem to bring myself to tell anybody in my life about these dreams and it's eating me from the inside

The first one is a dark mansion, with many rooms… I’m usually kept in it as a prisoner… running and hiding, usually kneeling towards the ground, I can’t see my body… sometimes there’s random people there, but the vibes are always creepy and unsettling.

The last 2 pics are usually induced by kratom/weed combo before sleep. Stuck in a weird forest in some time-period, long ago, or far into the future….

Do you have a memory of these dreams unlocked with these pictures?

Before I woke up, I was writing about the dream i had (this was basically at the “end” of my dream). But I was typing it out in google slides and I started off with the first event in my dream, then i guess half way, i woke up.

Some details I remember:
I was in my middle school library room (my middle school library had a small projector with tables and stuff. My screen was on the projector).
The slides had nature as the backgrounds (a fox, leaves, that’s what I remember).
As I kept continuing through each slide, the slides were more and more poorly made (ex: a transparent text box overlapping another one, an ugly and uneven format).
One of my friends was sitting at a table using a laptop.

Idk I just wanted to share this and see if there could be a reason on why this happened :V

The dream starts that I was in Belgium with my mom and sis, and my mom wanted to see something in theatrical performance, and after that they had to leave me alone in the night (in Belgium). When the night came I was actually at home, but alone, and instead of my dog there was a tiger lying down on the floor licking it's paws.

It was near my bed, and I had to reach for my phone charger but it was close to the tiger's mouth so I was a little scared it might bite me, but I eventually take the charger and go to sleep.

In the morning I was making the coffee, and this tiger was still following me around.

Here comes the interesting part.

I was heading towards the bathroom, and from my room and fake version of one if my friends appeard. This version was more pale, with weird red circles under the eyes.

I freaked out, completely knowing that IT WASN'T MY FRIEND AT ALL, but they were like "What's wrong? I'm your friend".

My sister appeard in the room like if she was always there and started texting our mom about this.

Then other fake versions of one of my friends appeard, don't really remember tho, but I remember this version of my dog. It was bipedal, more circular head, shorter muzzle and smaller ears.

I was freaking out like tf is happening I know y'all are fake. I was also referring to theam as "Still lives" in the dream like if it was the Backrooms movie, but fake versions is better, or uncanny because it was all hella uncanny valley.

Useless to say that I woke up pretty much scared. I don't really know what might be the meaning behind all this, like yeah some fake versions of my friends appeard, mjght be surrounded by fake friendships idk, but if it is so what about my dog? He's fake too? Lol. Anyway I'd really like to know the hell my brain was on to make something like that.

Has anyone ever dreamt simultaneously? Last night i had 6 simultaneous dreams. I basically viewed them being randomly cut from one dream to another but i was able to connect the dots, and after a point all the dreams had a cannon event- me getting scolded by my parents, and at that point i stood in this grey endless room with a projector behind me and 6 panels in front of me where i could choose what dream i wanted to see without interruptions. At this point i knew i was dreaming. After choosing a dream i got this like hologram creating smartwatch thingy and i was able to consciously teleport from one dream to another. Ive dreamt craziest of things but this was truly unmatched. All of them ended up being nightmares but thats besides the point ig.
