Weird dreams you've had

Jimmy the Squid:
I'd say that's probably functionally accurate. The physiology of anxiety attacks I don't think applies to nightmares because I've had nightmares in which there is no immediate sense of threat to personal integrity or safety or that of others, but in a way, yeah there is a strong element of panic which makes control difficult.

TRVA123:
Dream from 10/22/10
My family is taking my Grandfather to different cemeteries to see where he would like to be buried. We are followed by a carnival wherever we go. My Grandfather hands me a red balloon. In order to find some of the more obscure graveyards we burn down the buildings that have been built over them. As the wind scatters the ashes of the buildings I let go of the red balloon and watch it float away.

Mister D Nomms:
TRVA, are all your dreams David Lynch movies?

Zingoleb:
Sleep paralysis is utterly terrifying. My mother actually had me convinced for some years as a child that it was demons attacking me in my sleep.

I remember one time I had a dream that I was fighting a shadowy monster in my backyard, and I knew if I didn't kill it it would kill me, so I took a giant branch and beat it to death. I remember feeling its bones and its jaw break, and then when it died, I was standing over my dog's body.

That dream still makes me sad.

Jimmy the Squid:
I don't usually have sleep paralysis with any hallucinations or dreams, I'm just awake and can't move at all. It was terrifying the first few times but now I just try to keep as calm as I can and wait it out. It usually only lasts a few minutes.

Last year I was writing a paper on child abuse and so I was reading a lot of child abuse case studies. I ended up having this awful nightmare where I was walking around a dilapidated old house and in every room something awful was being done to a child. Like in one room a man was mercilessly beating his son and screaming at him that he was a faggot. In another room a boy was being forced by his mother to rape his little sister (she couldn't have been more than like, 10) because she was a "slut".

I don't always wake up from nightmares all shakey and crying but when I do I accidently the whole thing.
