I figured since we have the AM! Dreams thread in the Band section, why not have a normal Dreams thread in the spam section? Especially considering I had a crazy zombie dream last night that I would like to share with everyone! (Disclaimer: I did not look through the rest of the topics, so there might already be a Dreams thread, in which case, you may delete this post.)

Anyways, last night I had a dream about zombies attacking Dar es Salaam, and I was at my school at a time. I definitely remember taking out a Skeletor zombie (I call my English teacher Skeletor - he looks like a fucking skeleton), and several others, all armed with a random cricket bat I found lying around. Anyways, so what ended up happening was that I ran around for a while, killing zombies and finding friends, and then I left the school to find my mum (my dad was buggered off to Canada, or something like that ), and so I got in the back of a friend's truck, who drove me (and my cricket bat) in the general direction of my house, but for some reason we had to go back, so I ended up back in school. When I got there, there's a little hut (my entire school is outdoors (like no hallways or anything), minus the classrooms) type thing next to the canteen with a lot of picnic-style tables, for kids to hang out, and some people were using that, with the tables turned over for protection, so I joined them in there, and fended off some zombies for a while, before we decided to go inside the canteen, and live in there for a while with Jimmy, being the guy who runs the canteen (though, not anymore, he got fired (unfortunately, he's the nicest guy), so now they've got Subway doing our canteen...), and basically just stayed there for a while. Every once in a while, I would go out and fight some more zombies, or go out to rescue someone, or the likes, but aside from that, we stayed in the Canteen. Finally, someone came up to me, and said "The zombies are gone, we won!" and that was the end of my dream.

I apologize for the run-on sentences and lack of any kind of story structure, I just wrote it as it came to me.

EDIT: I would like to add, though this isn't regarding dreams, that my friend and I were at the pub tonight, and when we were discussing my dream, we moved on to zombies and talked extensively about if zombies did attack, where we would go, and what we would do, and while we were walking along the road from the pub, we came across a graveyard, which is actually the oldest German graveyard in all of Eastern Africa, and is reputed to be haunted, and decided to go in, and walk through the cemetery. And it was pitch black in there, there were no lights whatsoever, so when we went in, we had to use a lighter which had a flashlight on it to go through. It was so fucking creepy.

I don't remember any dreams right now, but zombies are awesome. I wish I dreamed about zombies. If zombies attacked I would bake for them. I have a baking blog and the name involves zombies, and I have mentioned that the purpose of my baking is to woo zombies in case of an attack. That might not be entirely why I bake though, it's still being discussed.

My dream last night was friggin weird, I don't remember much aside from that I was hearing "New Coat of Paint" by Tom Waits but with different words, and the gas station a few blocks away from my house and a pick up truck was involved.

I have really weird dreams. I have repetitive dreams a lot. I really believe that most dreams have meaning, especially if you're seeing the same dream over and over again. For example, I went a few months straight having a dream, or what felt more like a nightmare, where I'd be at an aquarium, or by my fish tank, or a lake, and suddenly all of the fish would die. They wouldn't just flop over, but they'd pull apart, dissolve, melt or eat each other. It was always really disgusting to see, but I could never do anything about it and it really bothered me. I could just sit there and watch until they were all dead. I stopped having those dreams for awhile, but I still have them occasionally. I have a few dream meaning books and they all say that seeing fish in your dreams is a good thing (fish are associated with Christ, or something), but if you see them dying then that means you're experiencing a feeling of disappointment or loss, and you feel out of control. It's weird because that's pretty much true about most of my life, and whenever I have that dream (which is kind of often) I can look back on my life and realize that I'm feeling out of control at the moment. The dream only really stops when I'm feeling content in my daily life.

yeah I have weird dreams, but I like them, and I can usually remember them, but for some reason i can't remember mine from last night. I've had a lot of reoccurring dreams lately.

i havent remembered any dreams any of my life. Ive tried to do everything set my alarm clock to ring every 30mins-1hr, to get me up in the middle of REM, but nothing, black-ness. One of the teachers said that it could be because i never really go to sleep, it was a weird explanation. But i would really love just once to remember any of my dreams, since i dont know if i have them or not. But i was told everyone dreams.

Got any clue to help me out, and ive tried everything possible.

not insomnia, something about the mind never really going into REM just the point right before or some shit... I WISH IT WAS INSOMNIA....only time ill ever say that

What she said.


But, seriously, I LOVE dreams. I don't know, I just love idea of being on some other plane of existence, where things don't necessarily function both on a physical level and a mental level as they do in our conscious lives. I mean, even if it's a nightmare, I might wake up and I'll be shitting my pants in fear, but then even like two seconds later, I'll be like, "Dude... That was AWESOME!"

I also really like the idea of dreams meaning something, and your subconscious telling you something, but I don't really like it when people take it to another level, and make it out to be some sort of supernatural thing.

Hahahahaha, that's awesome. That would be fucking intense if you could actually connect via dreams.
