Sometimes really strange things happen, like a girl talks to me. Then zombies attack, and everything is A-OK.

I'm tempted to make this my new sig.

My bad, weird dreams are always the same. It's a sort of "War of the Worlds" thing, where giant things are chasing me and my family and we're trying to find cover in buildings and such, and I'm trying to run but it's like I'm trying to run through syrup, like I can't go fast enough. Except instead of Tripods, they're T-Rexes. Laugh if you wish, but I'm perfectly serious. I wake up in cold sweats from these things.

I haven't had this in a while, but I thought I'd share anyway. I have a recurring nightmare where I'm getting chased by a very hostile crocodile. Now, I know that crocs are faster than humans, but a person can still outrun one by running in a zig-zag. Crocs' bodies are too long to keep up with that, so I know exactly how to defend myself against one (because I come across so many in day-to-day life.) But in this dream, I happen to be running through a very thick jungle with high walls on either side of me, so I can only run straight. I always wake up just as the big, mean crocodile's about to get me...

Had a good one a few years ago. In the dream I walk out of the house I grew up in. The sky is Blood red with fire and brimstone. The earth was trembling and the mountains were falling. Then the Calico mountain explodes and a giant ball of magma flies through the air and lands on my house. I rush back in to find my whole family dead. I go to check out the ball of lava when it starts moving from the inside. A demon was clawing it's way out. All I hear is chattering and snarling. It had clawed hands and hooves for feet. When a dream gets to be too much I've always been able to snap ot of it and wake up.

My eyes snapped and I was awake in my bed. There was darkness all around except for a faint light shining just on my bed. I hear chattering at my feet and the cloven-hooved demon jumped on to my chest and started clawing me apart. I actually FELT it's hooves pressing into me and it's claws tearing my chest open. Then my eyes snap open and I'm still awake in my bed. Turns out I was really awake this time.

I had a dream last night that I went to a party hosted by 50 Cent.

I was talking to some guy and saying how much I liked more old skool rap and I didn't really like gangsta rap. And then I forgot all the names of all the old skool rap that I supposedly liked. The only name I could think of was "Public Enemy" (when I was desperately trying to remember Big Daddy Kane).

Then I had to make hotdog sandwiches and was worried that if I didn't, 50 Cent would cap my ass.

I almost never dream or remember my dreams. I'm not kidding. I am a very comatose dreamer. No idea if I'm seeing anything or nothing at all and I remember even less than I'm aware I've seen.

However, since Tuesday night, I've been having Dream Overload!! I've been seeing everything, living in my dreams (I remember telling someone in a dream that I had a dream about them, and, I think I did!), and remembering almost everything about them. Not only that, but I scored the longest night's sleep Tuesday that I've had in many, many years. Usually, I sleep as though any minute my house could be descended upon by terrorists or infestation or other perhaps Donnie Darko-esque freak occurences.

Since it's fresh, I'll recall a little bit (keeping it PG) from last night's: I was in-bed with Michael Ensign. Yep, that guy from Ghostbusters who wouldn't pay to have the ghosts exterminated. If anyone thinks that's scary, just know a few things first: 1) we never really know what an actor looks like underneath their clothes if they always keep their clothes on, 2) not that anybody wants to know, but he had no mustache, and was very handsome and charming, and I remember being very attracted to him in the dream, 3) I've always been very open-minded when it comes to the sex appeal of older men, 4) there was a much scarier part of the dream that happened later on but it's kind of disturbing so I won't even bring it up (just know- Michael wasn't the weird part). After that, our affair was abrupt and surprisingly uneventful, but it got pretty X-rated for a short moment.

The weirdest part had something to do with our being married and having to live with my family. So, it was like having your honeymoon in a very unromantic place. Oh; and we were shut-ins. Like Vampires. Don't ask, I have no idea. The windows were blocked out so we wouldn't be exposed to the sun. And that's not even mentioning the disturbing part.

Your guess is as good as mine.

I dreamt that I was getting married to my girlfriend (its our 2 year anniversary 2nd April but we have zero plans for marriage yet!) and it was a really cheap affair.

I mean, the whole thing was the most relaxed and laid back thing you've ever been to. We didn't write any vows and I hadn't even got a ring yet.

Then someone asked us if there was a DJ (because there was no music at the reception). I said "Oh, I'll go and get my iPOD" and so I hooked that up to the sound system. Unfortunately, someone turned it off because they didn't want to dance to Rob Zombie and put on some cheesy 70s stuff.

Then I remember getting really annoyed that none of my mates had bought me a drink, which is when I woke up

[dex]

You know when going to bed you set an internal alarm so you don't need the hateful alarm clock? Some people are better at this than others. I suck.

Half of the time I try this, I dream I wake up, check the time, see that it's much too early (or hear some event in or around the house that tells me the time), am annoyed that I woke up early, and decide to go back to sleep. During all this, I'm fast asleep and the real time is short before it's time to get up.

Unfortunately, these dreams seem to switch off my internal alarm. I've solved the issue by becoming a slacker.

[BlackCatWhiteCat]

I have the opposite dream, dex. I keep scaring myself awake by dreaming that I've overslept. It's my mission in life to find an alarm clock that doesn't sound like Hades himself fashioned it.

[PoolMan]

I can relate, Baccawacca. I've had a whole string of those awful screechy alarm clocks. My wife and I each have an excellent (but different) alarm clock on each side of our bed now though... can't remember the model names, but they've both got "gradual" alarms. they start at reduced volumes and ramp up, rather than just screaming "DEATHDEATHDEATH" in your ear to start the day.

[BlackCatWhiteCat]

Hehe. Yeah,I'd prefer not starting every morning as my house had caught on fire. When I was younger (high school) I had an alarm clock that had three settings: a calm voice announcing the time and telling me to get up (my favorite), a cuckoo (not bad, but gets old REAL quick), and a rooster (DEATHDEATHDEATH). Nowadays I would prefer the radio (which gradually gets louder) but my husband swears that instead of waking him up it would just osmose itself into his dreams and he'd be late for work. Since he's the one in the military and I'm currently jobless he wins this argument. So for now we wake up, alarms-a-blazin'.

[dex]

I think there are lamps which you can set up to wake you. I would love that. They start out very dim and then graaadually reach maximum brightness. I guess if you are acustomed to let a little light into your bedroom in summer, you would need a very bright lamp (or aim it at your head) to make sure it makes a difference, though.

[Al]

Not to interrupt the alarm clock discussion, but I keep dreaming that I won $2,500. I don't really get it. $2,500 would be nice, don't get me wrong, but if I'm gonna dream, I should be dreaming big.

I had a dream last night that I was the Shark from Jaws, but no matter how many people I ate, people ignored me (because I was underwater.)

I now understand the shark's motivation in the film for eating humans despite their low fat-to-bone ratio; attention.

That might be the best thing I have read all day long.

I just end up dreaming about work (which, for me, is DJing). I always dream that everything is going wrong. Once I dreamed that the station was on fire because I didn't take a CD out of the player at just the right time. Yeah. Really.
