Dreams

Dreamed that there was trouble in some alternate dimension (not unlike the upside-down world from Stranger Things). It kept bleeding into ours. I had to travel--via this other world, not the surface world-- to various specific locations in order to confirm where the openings were. One of those places was somewhere in either Norway or Iceland in a freezing river that spilled out over a cliff. I think my brother may have been with me, but I'm not sure if it was really him. He/they were having trouble remaining conscious and so I had to carry them. It was so unbearably cold and I did not find anything particularly useful. So I went back to the town I came from, to a dive bar (which also happened to contain a portal) where others were waiting. (The others, including myself were constantly losing memories though so it was extremely difficult to try to put together any concrete plan when the dream beings began crawling through the ceiling and whatnot) I think it was a small wood-paneled bar, with a tiled floor and low pink lighting. I worked there, actually-- I think. All of us had developed terrible insomnia simultaneously (before all this, I mean) and would always have the same horrible nightmares whenever we did briefly fall asleep at the bar during our shift.
Don't remember anything else.

This is not so much a dream as it is more of an "episode."

I don't dream very often these days, probably to do with the obvious. But one thing I remember clearly is waking up one night in the middle of the night (I have night terrors almost regularly) and breaking open my window trying to get out. I literally pulled not only the window open without unlocking it, I also ripped the frame that sits on the window sill to keep bugs outside. A few minutes later, my cat jumps up on the windowsill and then I woke up.

Then I wake up and realize that I'm trying to jump out my window.

That's really concerning; I may have asked you this before but have you ever done a sleep study?

Key · 02-03-2018, 11:51 AM

Never really wanted to, though my mom has recommended it. I've always had trouble sleeping though. Probably been having night terrors since I was in my early teenage years. It's just something I've gotten used to.

I think the only other time something like that has happened is when I walked outside at 4am.

Have you considered ghost writing for Mike Birbiglia?

You know the MITCH HEDBERG bit about his neighbor knocking on his wall, and he responds with "Go around. I do not know what you have on your side, but on my side, it is just a wall. There is no door."

I did that in my dream. I was on the couch with a girl, and someone knocked on the other side of the wall, and I told them to "Go around."

Dreamed that I had to start coming to the hospital every day for treatments. They would not tell me what these treatments were for-- only that I needed them, and that a full exorcism was the only alternative. I helpfully suggested, "Why not both? Four separate people I've known were convinced that I was possessed by a female demon." (This is true actually #chiotrivia) They considered this, but just went ahead and put me under as usual.
After my treatments (this lasted for about 2 weeks) each night I'd typically walk over to this near-deserted little shopping center downtown. Quaint and touristy. Hardly any lighting-- just a couple street lamps. There was always a single young security guard (male, shaggy reddish hair) and lots of small little animals scurrying around-- baby deer and borzoi puppies. I was always trying to catch the borzoi puppies. (I would chase them around pitch-black alleyways for HOURS)

My ex best friend started to show up regularly, and she acted like all was well, so we'd talk and wander around just as we used to, but she was clearly not right in some way-- she'd abruptly start screaming at me for no particular reason, and was extremely evasive about certain things. And extremely possessive of me-- I could not leave her side at night, ever. I tried to escape with the security guard once, but it didn't work, because apparently any time my friend or I became too frightened and/or angry, the streets and buildings began to ripple and I'd start feeling like I was being sucked toward this one particular area where my friend would be waiting with her arms open (but only half of her..? her lower torso would always be sinking into the asphalt. She was also dead-eyed and slack jawed so it was doubly terrifying)

I think it ended with me going back to the hospital and politely requesting more treatments.

A few days ago I dreamed that my mom took out a tiny piece of white paper and told me "she will die in three days." (And today I found out my aunt died. She's had cancer on and off for many years, though, so it's not as if this was a shock to anyone.) Immediately before this, I was standing about 15 feet away from a large empty moving truck. There was a female demon (tanned skin, dark hair, mostly human appearance) standing in front of it who refused to look directly at me. I recognized her as the same demon lady I've dreamt about periodically for years. Usually she looked quite different though-- always a bit more monstrous looking and covered in deep cuts all over her face and body. (She is always either attacking me, attacking me through others, or just sort of lurking around while plotting how she will attack me next) Though she appeared to be standing still, she was attacking me somehow, (she typically did this by manipulating my memory and severing my mind/senses from my body so that I felt trapped in a faraway small vacuum of sorts) and so I levitated about 50 feet in the air--which really irritated her-- while trying to figure out what to do. But either she left or I left, so I was safe for the time being. When my mom told me about the little piece of paper, I strongly felt like I would be the one to die instead-- because of this demon-- and paced around the garden mumbling "What do I do? What do I do?" I was convinced that if I died I would remain trapped here forever. I felt the demon lady all around me, shrouding me. She told me I was a vessel, her chosen avatar, and that she wasn't through with me yet.

My favorite vassals are flesh vessels.

I had another dream about The Rolling Stones.
