Dreams

[YayBoromir!]

Have you ever had any strange or weird dreams that you've thought had no meaning? Post them here. They can be about anything... (within reason people!;))
I would also like to know if anyone has had a lucid dream... I had one once, but you lose it very quickly and it's very difficult to stay lucid.:( It's really interesting to be able to control your dreams, though.

[SindarinGirl]

Top this:

I dreamed I was trapped in the body of a sixty-some year old, cross-dressing Chinese diplomat visiting Washington DC with his wife (who knew I was in her husband's body).
We were going to the National Cathedral, but I was in a velour jogging suit so we stopped at a boutique next to the gift shop of the cathedral and I picked out a nice navy skirt and jacket, matching pumps and purse, and some pearls.
Then we went to the Mass.

I have yet to hear of a weirder dream than that.

[Celebrían]

uh....... I would say this one tops them all! :o By the way, SG, I am a Psyc major, and was just wondering, have you considered having this dream analyzed? (only kidding ;) )

To be honest, I can't remember what I drempt last night. I know that I did have a dream, but I can't remember what it was about!

I agree, YB. I have found that I can control what I am dreaming, especially if it is a good dream. Does anybody have LOTR themed dreams? I do quite a bit, and I must say that they are my favorites.

I do have this recurring dream where I go inside of a pyramid (in the desert obviously) and once I get inside, the walls start to turn in different directions and it ends with the floor falling out from under me. Odd, huh? Maybe I should have my dream analyzed! :grin:

[SindarinGirl]

Analysis for my Chinese Diplomat dream?
Don't eat meatball subs with extra peppers and onions right before bed. lol

Yeah I had a LOTR dream last week, Aragorn had dropped something out of his pack in a dangerous place, and I snuck out to retrieve it, after he and Boromir told me it was too dangerous to go. But I found it and put it in my backpack to bring back and the zipper opened on the way back and I lost it - I think it means I'm trying to regain something I feel is out of my control.
Try going here to look up themes and items in your dreams and what they symbolise:

good luck! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

lol SindarinGirl great analysis. You could be a professional!:thumbs:
I don't generally have LOTR dreams at all, as much as I want to! A lucid LOTR dream would be awesome!

lol Yes, the sub might have something to do with it. ;) Dreams are interesting things, aren't they? I'll take a look at the link, SG. The next titme I have a dream (especially if it is LOTR related), I'll let you know. :thumbs:

[A! Elbereth]

I had a dream once where I was on a horse, riding in my 'Dark Ages of Camelot' game and there were orcs after me... I ended up slamming my head against a low tree trunk and when I woke up I was rolling down a mountain. I never hit the bottom because it scared me awake.

:huh: I don't see a meaning besides that it was partly LOTR.

[YayBoromir!]

I guess since this is my thread I may as well post my own weird dream lol :
I was in my mum's office for some reason, I think it was to sort out some papers lol and this boy came in with a maths book. He put it on the table and then he just stood there. I ignored him but he wouldn't go away, and he started to annoy me so in the end I left and he was still just standing there :p
Weird, huh?
I had no idea what that meant!
My friend had a dream where she got sucked into an escalator lol

[Scarpinato]

I can't remember any of my recent dreams.... I really have some stupid, pointless dreams though. I had one about LOTR back in December of 2002 though, about a week before TTT. In the dream, I went to see TTT with a friend, but somehow he got in the theater a long time before I did, so I missed ten minutes of the movie and refused to sit through it until I could see the whole thing :) I really am that way... I can't stand seeing a movie for the first time and missing parts of it.

What I really hate is when I dream of something so great and then I wake up and realize it's not real mecry Then I go the whole day thinking about it pfbbt

[Celebrían]

Yikes! Sucked into an escalator! :o I had a dream recently that I was in the kitchen of our old house late at night, and I noticed that the back door was open. When I went to close and lock it, a man with a knife pushed through! That's scary enough, but here's the weird part....the man was Bob Hope. Don't ask me why. I have NO idea. lol

I'm the same way. I refuse to watch something if I've missed the beginning. I also hate it when I have a wonderful dream and realize it's not real, but then I guess there are always new dreams to look forward to. :)

[Enelya]

well last night i had a dream that i was walking through this dark tunnel and i saw some taco bell so i picked it up only to find out that it was acually this disgusting blob thing. so i dropped it and started to run and then my alarm went off so i couldnt finsh my dream but who cares, not me.

[Celebrían]

Perhaps you were making a "run for the border". I know, that's really bad, but I just couldn't resist. ;)

[Khamul]

Apparently, if you dream about snakes and/or horses, it means you are fond of male genitalia, and if you dream your teeth are falling out it means you are obsessed by the idea of frequent, vigorous sex. That just what I've heard...;)

[Celebrían]

:o Oh, my!

[Bonos-Girl]

thats rather random...how'd they work that out?!

teeth falling out.....lol

lol oh, but MY dreams are weird! :rolleyes: lol That's a good one. lol

Those are only some of the possible meanings of those themes, Khamul! Trust a guy to only remember certain types of symbolism! lol
Here's a great place to look this stuff up: http://www.dreammoods.com/index.html

Once we were playing a superhero RPG and it went really badly for us, and I ended up dreaming about the battle we'd lost. My boyfriend (at the time) said I was muttering the character's names and then started punching the air and yelling "Pow!" and "Smack!" He said it like watching a Batman re-run! lol

[Cuiel Rilwen]

When I was little, I had to recurring dreams. One was that I was trying to escape some boogy. Started out with the regular stuff, running and never getting anywhere, but then I cut loose from the ground an started swim-flying- by myself, not in a plane- and I flew higher and higher 'til I couldn't get down! Half my life I've had the most terrible fright of going by plane, even had to use valium to do it! I cured myself of it when I was pregnant, couldn't eat the stuff then, and discovered that I could do without it!

The second one was realy scary, about me entering a room in my grandmothers house that wasn't supposed to be there. It was filled with roccocco- furniture, mirrors with luxurious golden frames and deep red velvet drapes. One of the drapes was moving, I was very frightened of what was behind it. But the worst thing about that dream was, that when I years later entered the new house of a classmate, there was the exact same room, everything in it just like in my nightmare! I never went up there again, I can assure you!

A fun dream I remember, (I have a lot of those, sometimes wake up laughing and then I don't remember a thing in the morning, just the laughing!), was a classmate ordering electric platform- shoes with net- stockings attached from a catalouge, and they cost 4000 pounds, which another classmate had to pay...he wasn't exactly happy about it!

[Bonos-Girl]

hehe

i once shared a room with a girl who talked in her sleep at an adventure camp thing...every morning we wole up 1/2 hour early to hear her...once she was dreaming about the orienteering we'd done the previous day and was actually moving her legs as if she was runnig!! lol it was brilliant

[YayBoromir!]

lol BG that sounds hilarious!roflmao
My brother once said "spaghetti" in his sleep! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

thats so random! lol

my brother once fell out of a bunk bed and was still asleep and tried to convince us it was all a joke.....erm.....strage! lol he kept saying "it was jiust a joke..." and stuff......

[YayBoromir!]

LOL - I've done that once. Ok, maybe more than once. ;)
When we went to Germany on a school trip, in the morning the boys who'd been in this room of 4 told everyone how one of them had said their history teacher's name in their sleep - how embarassing! He still gets teased for it now :p

I'll check that out, SG! thanks for the link. :thumbs: As for nightmares coming true, I had a dream a couple of years ago right before I was to go back to school after Christmas holidays. I drempt that I was back at school and was to start back to classes at 8:00am. Well, I went to bed and looked at the clock. It said 11:00, then 12:00, then 1:00, then 2:00, and so on... I didn't go to sleep at all! I finally gave up and got up in time to get to my first class....Well the night that I REALLY went back to my dorm I went to bed and watched my clock change for five hours! It was my nightmare coming true! (I did get a few hours of sleep, but not many) It was awful! I've never forgotten it.

[Bonos-Girl]

the only time i remember my dreams is when i relive them.....dunno whether its just plain deja vu or i did actually dream it though.....

[SindarinGirl]

Ooh, I get that sometimes, too! It's so freakin' creepy!
Once I dreamed I met a guy at a birthday party for a friend, but in the dream I couldn't see his face, just that he had blond hair and a white t-shirt with some kind of blue crest or design on it. I dreamed we were sitting next to each other on the couch, the host asked for a pillow, I leant over to give it to him, sat back, looked at this guy and then started canoodling with him! I thought "oh, that's too weird" and the dream changed to something else.
2/3 weeks later, I'm at my friend's birthday party and there's a blond guy named Joel there wearing a white t-shirt with a blue crest on it. Didn't think about it, but we ended up sitting next to each other on the couch, the host asked for a pillow, I leant over to give it to him, started to sit back and that triggered the "oh, this is my dream" thought.
I looked at Joel, and started laughing.
Everyone thought I was nuts, but later, while Joel and I were dating I told him why I'd been laughing at the party. I was sure that was some kind of sign about the two of us, but it didn't work out. :huh:

[Bawax]

i have actually had dreams about teeth falling out, both my teeth and other poeples but they were from my teenage years, maybe it was my hormones that did it but then again i used to do alot of boxing so maybe there was a link there. :huh: :)

i think everyone will agree my dreams are on the whole best kept secret but i did have one recently where i was working on the door of a club and my nan walked out with Ash (the man from the corner shop), they both got in seperate cabs and went off and then my mate who i was working with couldn't move a muscle and i got attacked by a gang of short women. it stopped there, analyse it if you like. :)

[Bonos-Girl]

i like the way you decide as an after thought that we might not know who ash is! lol


a gang of short women?!

[SindarinGirl]

Yeah, thanks for clearing up the puzzle of who Ash is. lol I thought he was the guy from the Pokemon cartoons.

[Bonos-Girl]

ash ketchup his name was i believe!!

gary was so much cooler...and its quite worrying i remember their names!! i rememeber some of the pokemons names too...:elfeek:

[Khamul]

Thats because Pokemon is great! Kind of a mixture between laughing at and laughing with... But I have a pet cockatiel (like 'Magic' off Wackaday), and his name is PIDGEY. Nice...!

[Catz]

oh not the short women thing again B:rolleyes:lol
i never remember my dreams..........well hardly ever.....heheh the ones i do remember arent really suitable for general consumption ;) :o :naughty:
:catz:

[YayBoromir!]

LOL Catz lol
I had a very strange dream last night:
I was trying to go to this house which was really big but to get there you had to walk on this wooden platform. The platform increased in size when you stepped on it o.0 and for some reason there were mines attached to the bottom of the platform, so you had to be really careful. Then (this is where it gets really weird) a totem pole with an eyeball attached to it rose out of the platform and the eyeball started searching for me (it was actually quite scary!:elfeek: ) To get away you had to roll into a ball down this slope lol but another ball was racing you and you had to beat it to the finish! Weird huh! Totally insane and random! Like me, really.roflmao

Can anyone think what that could mean?

YB!:cool:

[Bonos-Girl]

wow! you have a cockatiel called pidgey!!

that sounds really scary YB....:elfeek:

This sounds to me like a cross between LOTR (with the searching eye) and Indiana Jones (the giant ball rolling down the hill). Did you happen to have these movies on the brain before going to bed? ;)

[YayBoromir!]

I don't know quite what I had on the brain. True, I do own all those movies, but it was one of the freakiest dreams I have ever had! I mean, an eyeball on a totem pole? :huh:

[Eáránë]

I dreamt bout 2 things:

1) I was on the bachelor and switchin 2 joe millionaire.. and going on and off and so forth

2) I was a talk show host and Vanessa Carlton was performing "A Thousand Miles"..... i had that song in my head all night... then wen i woke up i turned on the hit list channel and that song was on...

an eye, on the end of a pole, i dread to think what type of movie you'd been watching before going to bed. :elfeek:

yes catz, short women again, they were all 5'3 'ish weilding handbags and rolled up magazines, it wasvery disturbing for my innocent little mind. mecry lol

unfortunately the man from the corner shop isn't called ash ketchup, he'd at least have some comedy value to him, all he does is grunts hello at me when i walk in and grunts the price at me, never has he ever said another word to me and he's known me since i was a wee lad. :huh: (don't anyone say he's a good judge of character :p )

[Bonos-Girl]

how'd you know what i was gonna say?! lol

[Catz]

rolled up magazines eh?..........well its better than kicking the living you know what out of ya while wearing stiletto heels, aint it? ;) :flamer: lol
(don't anyone say he's a good judge of character )
now.............would i say such a thing? :angel: *adjusts her halo a little*;) :flamer::evilcool:
actually speaking of dreams. believe it or not B............you did appear in a dream of mine.......once :o...........gave me such a shock it woke me up lol.........tho that was when i was doing the drawing, so thats probably why ;) roflmao
:catz:

[Galadriel]

I always have really weird dreams. They are usually about the guy i like and the guy that Hobbitfriend has a crush on In my dreams I always end up with my crush and hobbtifriend ends up with hers but the never seems to happen in real life. I guess I dream about us being together soo much that because its never going to happen in real life. Oh well atleast he loves me in my dreams. I never seem to have about Lord of the Rings though.

[HobbitFriend]

yah, i love some of your dreams Galadriel ;) hehe if only they were true... *sigh* I always have strange dreams (Galadriel has heard some of them... she knows how strange they are! lol ) Lately, i havn't had many dreams, but there'll be like a week when i'll have dreams almost every night, and they're usually always strange, and then i won't have any more dreams (that i can remember...) for a while. :huh: strange...

:catz:

halo? you? come now dear, your probably less likely then me of having one. :p

:p to you too BG, i'd have hoped for a little support from my fake date thread girlfriend. *sniffles* lol

lol you should never have mentioned that dream Catz, check out my new sig line. :thumbs: lol

[Bonos-Girl]

aww....i didn't say i didn't support you...or i wouldn't protect you from tiny women weilding newpapers...just that the guy is a good judge of character....lol....

and...if i say you feature in my dreams would i get a mention in your sig!?!? lol :p

[Bawax]

well ok but i don't think he is a good judge, he's just jealous of my charm and boyish good looks. (when is there gonna be a big-head smilie? ;) )

well you'd have to have genuinely dreamt about me (try and say you haven't, i dare you lol )and mention it in a public place, if you can face that then of course you will be in my sig. :grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

hmm...isn't it enough for me to be your virtual girlfriend? lol...i think i deserve to be in yuor sig for that achievment alone!! lol

[Catz]

*checks the sig*
well............at least its better than the last time i graced your sig hon lol
:catz:

[Celebrían]

Just thought I'd inform everyone that I had a LOTR related dream the other night. To be honest, I can't remember that much of it. :( (I should have written it down). It was identical to a scene from "Encounters in Imladris", except it was me (Cel) and Elrond (instead of Gil-Galad and his wife). It was a nice dream.... :) I hope I have more of them...... :grin:

[Bawax]

that sounds fair to me, as long as i get in your sig. :grin:

sounds like a very fair deal to me. ;)

i thought you'd appreciate it Catz, i actually liked the last line about you better then this one i think. i will never forget you labelling me a legend. :p lol

[Bonos-Girl]

hmmm.....ok....as soon as i can think of of something to put in my sig about you its a deal! lol

any suggestions would be appreciated....i need something that won' tbe censored! lol hehe

[Ruby Yavevalar]

this aint fair--everyone else has had a tolkien related dream!!!!!! mecry no fair!!!! But....BG, put something like "Currently "dating" Bawax in the "Cheap/Fake Date Thread" " lol hahaha!!!! And Bawax can put something to that extent as well!!! lol just a thought...

[Bonos-Girl]

kewl...ok...just go and do that in a minute! lol
he should put "currently "dating" BG and in my own mind everyone else in the fake/cheap date thread" lol roflmao

perhaps you should try listening to the LOTR soundtrack before going to bed, or maybe reading some in LOTR. Maybe that will help... :)

[Illuvatar]

Well....................

I finally had one......I was watching TTT before bed last night(shhhh!), and had a weird one!

I think I was a dwarf! lol

All I remember is that my ax looked more like a pike, and we were amazed at how sharp the blade was! It had a huge semi-circular blade, and was blackened on the inner circle, but the shapened edge was silver so 4" of the entire blade was silver with the black inside.......

Twas a really wicked blade, I sure wish I could remember more......lol

[Celebrían]

A dwarf?! lol Nice about the blade, though. :)

[Catz]

well..........you know what they say about men and big blades ;):o :flamer: lol
*decides to go off and check her other threads*
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

Had a dream last night that I feel into Mount Doom... yup... and this time I didn't wake up when I hit the bottom and I ended up burning in the inferno.... :elfeek: :o

It was more a nightmare... but what was humorous about it is that the only think that flashed before my eyes while falling was LOTR and all of Frodo's expressions!

Yup, my life flashed before my eyes, alright! lol ;)

[Dawn Noelle]

roflmao roflmao roflmao
go catz!

i was thinking the same thing

[Illuvatar]

Oh pppppppppppppbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbblllllllllllttt! lol

You both would go there!

Thanks Momma Catz! :p

See what you started! pfbbt

[Little Devil]

I hate dreams, where you think your falling and then you wake up, really freaks me out. :(

[Bonos-Girl]

yep...although its cool afterwards when its happening its really weird.

[Miruvor]

I had a dream the night before last that I remembered because it was about Viggo. I dreamt he was in a nursing home where I was visiting. It had a big swimming pool in the middle that all the old folks were sitting around. But, Viggo wasn't that old - he was there for some health reason. I walked with him around the pool to the other side and he got into a space ship (like a rocket) and blasted off to somewhere - Valinor maybe?

(I hope he is all right in real life!)

-------------------------------------------------------

The most memorable dream I had was so vivid, I thought it was reality. I dreamt that I got out of bed and walked out of the house. I was walking on the street and looked down to realize I was in my PJ's. So I thought to myself that I might be sleepwalking. I stopped the first person on the street that I came to and asked them if I was sleepwalking. I never got an answer because my brain couldn't process it and I woke up.
:)

[Bawax]

i dreamt last night that i had a big lumpy, spot, thing on my hand and it had something moving inside like a little sigourney weaver type alien, my old maths teacher was a doctor and his method of removal was to ram a huge blade through my hand and it at the same time. i woke up then. :)

[Little Devil]

Werid! Sounds kinda painful too. lol I really don't think I've had any dreams for quite a while now.

[Catz]

something wiggling in your hand???!!!
urrggghhh.........theres probably a Freudian context there that i REALLY dont wish to explore:elfeek:roflmao
:catz:

[Celebrían]

Oh, please NO FREUD!!!!! lol ......... I had a disturbing dream about flunking an exam the other night. It really freaked me out. It was so real..........

[Little Devil]

I hate having dreams, in the holidays bout going back to school, everything goes wrong. mecry

[SindarinGirl]

B! lol A big, lumpy, spotty, thing in your hand that has to be stabbed to get rid of it? woohoo.
Catz is right! Your freudian slip is showing! lol

[Undomiel]

i have some seriously strange dreams, although alot of them fade from memory quite quick. I think the weirdest was when i dreamt i was on the Titanic, but it had already sunk and somehow it had been resurfaced and was going on another voyage even though it was all rusty and stuff. Anyway, all my friends were on it too, except one. As we were setting off she was on the pier and suddenly decided she wanted to go too, so she jumped in the water to swim to the ship, except she couldnt swim and then the ship started to sink and i dived into the sea to save my friend who couldnt swim. V weird.

[Little Devil]

lol that is werid, I had a dream I was on a ship and there was a storm before, don't know why. :huh:

[Undomiel]

I think there's actually something wrong with my brain. I mean how does it some up with such bizarre situations???lol

[Bawax]

thank you very much Catz and SG, i appreciate all this..... honestly. ;) lol

i had another dream last night, me and my gf were driving somewhere, i can't remember where or why but we were really tearing down the motorway and a robin reliant with a woman who looked about 80 was tailing us, after about 5 minutes she started ramming us, both the cars stopped in the middle lane and the old lady got out and got ran over.

my god i have weird dreams. :elfeek:

[Bonos-Girl]

erm..surely the robim reliant would probably have become more damaged than your car...and probably would have broken down somehwre on the way...if not it would have fallen over or summat.....

indeed you do have weird dreams B...but it kinda makesd sense.,...you being so weird and all....its be weirder if you had normal dreams...if there is such a thing...

[Bawax]

ouch, that was harsh, i'm not weird, i'm a bit of an eccentric in some respects but surely i'm not weird. someone back me up here. *watches the tumbleweed roll through* Hmmph! :)

i'd have expected it to fall over too but it didn't we must have been going at 100-120 mph. very strange.

i just noticed, my dreams tend to have violence in them too, i mentioned 3 dreams in one i get my *** kicked by a gang of women, in the next i get my hand stabbed and the big, lumpy, spotty, thing as SG so acurately put and in the last an OAP gets squished by a transit van. :huh: does that give an insight into my personality/pschological state? lol

[Celebrían]

lol I personally think that part of the purpose of having dreams is to let our minds "live out" what we can't do in real life... that's just a theory, but I have found it to hold true for me. :grin: Freud said that deams are "the royal road to the unconscious". (forgive the Freud quote, but what else would you expect from a psyc major?) ;) lol

[Bawax]

so on that basis i want to be violent all the time while i'm conscious? :elfeek:

well i do train as a boxer (amateur) and i do kickboxing so ot could well be right but then again all the violence in my dreams wasn't because of me, it happened to me or to someone else. does that mean i think i deserve a battering of some kind?

my head hurts, i started thinking too much. lol

[Celebrían]

Oh gosh! I didn't mean that you want to be violent while awake! :elfeek: Sometimes dreams don't have an explanation, but other times they can... why do I feel like I keep digging my hole deeper and deeper? :blush: lol

[Bawax]

oh i can assure you i wasn't pointing the finger and asking if you were calling me violent, i'm used to people here being direct to me (take note Bonos-girl, SindarinGirl and Catz :p ), i was just trying to work out what my dreams mean by having violent situations in them. :grin:

[Celebrían]

lol Okey-dokey

[Eowyn]

awwwww B it could be confusion? or are you scared that you're not srong enough (mentally or physically) I mean I'm sure most men are scared of getting their *** kicked by a bunch of women!

most dreams of violence represent struggles in life? (I hope cos then I'll feel better about mine) lol

[Celebrían]

That interpretation would make sense to me, Eowyn :thumbs:

[Eowyn]

thats all right then I'm glad you understood. I don't normally make sense! lol

[Celebrían]

No worries! It did! I don't usually make sense either! :blush:

[Eowyn]

lol glad I'm not the only one! I was going to mention my dream because I remembered it but.......yup its gone again :huh:

[Celebrían]

Now that I think about it, I did have a dream last night that one of my psyc professors was in, and we were talking about the meanings behind dreams! Weird, huh?

[Eowyn]

lol just slightly.
I often have very vivid dreams if I've spent a long time doing something during the day. eg. watching films with friends I dream they are there quite literally its worrying actually! :huh: I can picture them there but then I realise my eyes are actually looking at my dark room! lol I sleep with my eyes slighty open. Gandalf style

[Bawax]

maybe the violence in my dreams is to do with struggles, i wouldn't have said it was me doubting my mental toughness cause i'm pretty certain i don't and i am physically strong.

i'm now trying to work out what sort of a struggle i have going on, i can't think of owt straight off. i think i just have very random dreams.:huh:

[YayBoromir!]

Me too, Bawax. The weirdest thing was when I was on the Wales trip and I had really strong deja-vu that I had actually dreamt about the place I was staying in before I got there! And I was playing on my Game Boy at the time, and I dreamt I was playing that exact same game too - even before I got it! Creepy, huh? lol

[Bonos-Girl]

i get deja vu loads...its starting to freak me out! lol

i had a really weird dream last night (yes B...you were in it...acccounting for most of the weirdness i guess....)...ok...well....we were trying to break a record or summat...i'm not quite sure what the point of it was. but we kinda stood upsidedown in some water but we couldn't let our hands touch the bottom of the sea...we just had to kinda hang there suspended upsidedown.....and there was something about B challenging me to do it on WOTR somewhere and...erm....that is about all i remember.....

[SindarinGirl]

Wow, reading all these posts, I don't feel like such a freak! lol KIDDING!
I think it's true, while you sleep your body repairs physically and your brain takes care of your mental state. I've read sleep deprivation studies where the test subjects start exhibiting signs of dementia after a while. Basically, if your brain can't download, it'll explode! :elfeek: Is that what you meant, Celebrian?

[Bonos-Girl]

sounds scary!!!! :elfeek:.....

[Undomiel]

i've seen stuff like that as well. I had a really scary dream last night that i was opening my A-level results, but when i opened them, i couldnt understand what they said :elfeek:

[Celebrían]

I'm not sure what you are referring to! :blush: What I meant about dreams was that it's like the conflict between your id and ego. Frustrations are resolved by letting desires that you have "play out" in the form of dreams, since you can't do them in real life. Did that make sense? :huh:

[YayBoromir!]

Undomiel, did you know it's a fact that you can't read in dreams, no matter how hard you try? You think you're reading something, but the words are always blurred and unclear. And light switches never work in dreams either? Interesting, huh? ;)

[Celebrían]

About the reading....I've tried doing it in my dreams and it seems like there is a page in front of me that I am reading, but after a few seconds it disappears. I hadn't heard about the light switches, before, though. Those are interesting tidbits, YB! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

Thanks, Cel. :grin: Dreams are very interesting things. No matter how hard you try, you can never seem to dream about what you want, it's always totally random! lol A way to check if you're dreaming is to think you have a digital watch on and look at it, then look away and look at it again. If the time has changed by a few hours then you are probably dreaming (unless there is something seriously wrong with your watch!) That's how I became lucid once, though it is extremely difficult.

[Little Devil]

Really weird, I haven't had a dream for about two weeks now. :o

[Celebrían]

I remember reading that we dream almost everynight, it's just that we forget them some of the time.....

[HobbitFriend]

or for me, it's most of the time (forgetting them) :huh: i almost never have dreams (that i remember ;) ) I like dreaming too....

[Celebrían]

I like it, too. ;) If I really try to, I can remember my dreams, especially if I try to do so right after I wake up.

[HobbitFriend]

yah, like if i know i dreamt something... then as I realize i'm awake i'll try to recall what i just dreamed about... but i mean most of the time i wake up and never remember dreaming at all :huh: but when i do have dreams, they tend to be quite ... interesting ;) i think "strange" would be the better word. lol

[Galadriel]

Yah Strange is the better word. I don't dream that much but when I do they seem to be pleasant. I always wake up feelings peaceful and happy. Now if only some of my dreams would come true. ;)

I was referring to your previous post. And adding that if you don't get the chance to sort it out in your dreams, you'll go nuts. At least according to the study I read.

[Bonos-Girl]

i've read in my dreams before.....

i had a weird dream last night but i can't remember it now...

[SindarinGirl]

I had an LOTR related dream - I dreamed I was actually given the gift of becoming a sindarin elf by Illuvatar (thanks Illu!), and had to move into these woods that were off limits to humans, except pagans and wiccans.
There was an old stone temple to Adonis - this part comes from Tigana, a book I'm reading by Guy Kay (who edited the Sil with Christopher Tolkein) even though he doesn't actully use Adonis, the story in the book's mythology reminds me of the story of Adonis.
I woke up before anything really interesting happened. Except I did get my pointy ears. Yay! lol

[Celebrían]

I was referring to your previous post. And adding that if you don't get the chance to sort it out in your dreams, you'll go nuts. At least according to the study I read.

Oh, alright, yeah, I can see how that would make some sense. I sort of think of dreams as mental filters, letting us work out issues while we sleep. Do you remember where you read that? Just curious........ ;)

Okay I had a dream last night (see if you can believe this) that my Jack Russell Terrier got stuck in our garbage disposal! :o It was awful! (I know, a little weird, too lol ) I was trying to get him out but the disposal was on, and he kept spinning around, making it impossible to get him out. It was really weird, and now that I think about it, kind of funny. There is more, but I'll just stop here........after that it got weirder, if you can believe it! lol

hmmmmm...........you've been watching 'waking life' lol

[YayBoromir!]

I had a dream a few weeks ago where I had my arm amputated. It was horrible! :( The weirdest thing was, the only thing I was bothered about was that I couldn't type properly on my computer! Typical, huh?lol

[Undomiel]

Really? that's so weird!!!!

I think i had one of the stragest dreams ever last night!!!!!!
I dreamt that a musical was being made about this girl that i hate (long story, but she was v. horrible to me) Yeah anyway, I had to go and see it for some reason, but this is the really scary bit..........I was going with this guy from my work on a date, except that he is my supervisor and he's like 30:elfeek: :elfeek: (I mean that's way too old for me!!!!!!) Plus he's not even that attractive. Urgh! I didnt remember at first when i got up and then i suddenly remembered and i just thought "ARGH!!!" And an extra thing, for some reason on the way to the musical we all had to buy hair dye that matched our own hair colour:huh: It was sooooo strange and freaky!!!!

[YayBoromir!]

That is pretty freaky, Undomiel! :elfeek: Sometimes dreams don't make any sense at all (in fact, most of the time)!, yet they're supposed to be a reflection on the previous day... makes me wonder... how do these strange things relate to reality at all! lol

[Undomiel]

yeah exactly- i mean i'm sorry but i dont get how me dating my supervisor relates to my day at all lol i didnt even go to work yesterday :huh: I'm pretty worried lol

[Little Devil]

I just had a dream last night, that part of my school blew up. :elfeek:

[SindarinGirl]

Doing a little wishful thinking there, LD? ;) lol

[YayBoromir!]

LOL SG lol Last night I had a very strange dream where I was in a bookshop and for some reason you could only buy LOTR as separate chapters and they were huge books written in a massive font :huh: I had no idea what was going on there. Also, I had a dream where people were running around a wall, but they were actually standing on it, so they were kinda running sideways lol

[Celebrían]

How strange dreams are...... ;)

[A! Elbereth]

I had the strangest dream.... I only had my eyes closed for 15 minutes and I am dreaming I am on the computer, and I click on something, and something that pops up says, "I warned you" with an ok button below it, and all of a sudden I was paralyzed and I couldn't move. I was on my bed and screaming. :o

But the funny thing is I could tell I was waking up, but I couldn't wake all the way, so I was half asleep and just like in my dream I couldn't even move a muscle until I woke up all the way. :elfeek:

I was very amused this morning ;)

[Celebrían]

That's kinda freaky, A! E! :o

[YayBoromir!]

A! E, that sounds like sleep paralysis to me. That's supposed to be very scary... I'd never like to experience that! :o I've only read about it but that dream sounds very frightening!

[SindarinGirl]

I have dreams like that, where I need to do something before someone comes into a room and I can see them through the window and they're moving at normal speed, but I'm frozen, and there's no way I can get it done, and the stress is just phenomenal.
Hate those dreams. pfbbt

[Undomiel]

i had a dream once where i was in my kitchen and i was loooking out of the window when this boy scout appeared in the window, with a nazi badge on and a knife and he started smashing the window to try and get in, so i ran into my front room to ring the police, and we have a phone that you have to turn dial (one of the really old fashioned ones) and no matter what i did the dial wouldnt turn and i was getting really scared. Then all of a sudden my front room turned into a bus and i was going to school. V strange :huh:

[Celebrían]

I have had nightmares where I'm trying to dial 911 on my cell phone, but I can't get the call to go through. It's very helpless feeling!

[Eowyn]

most peoples dreams revolve around a subconcious fear of helplessness. well mine do!

my latest dream was of me watching in awe some clouds which kept forming and raining on me....it was unusually vivid. but I liked the rain and watching the clouds and had this fear people would take me away from it! (now this I can apply to my life) I also had to wake myself up several times from some deeply disturbing and scary dreams I really didn't sleep well!

[Bonos-Girl]

awww...poor Eowyn...

i got quite scared yesterday when i couldn't remember whether something was a dream or actually happened. Ive done that before, but usually its about somthing ages ago...this was about something less than a week ago :elfeek:.

[YayBoromir!]

I had another strange dream last night. Probably because I'm a strange person lol
There was this really long road going through a desert-like area and I was at a parking bay on the side with my brother. For some reason there was a large panel of glass between us and part of the road. :huh:
There were two sheep walking on the road and if you wanted to get them to come over to you, you had to pucker your lips! LOL! lol
We decided we wanted to feed the sheep so we went over to this barn nearby. A van reversed out and we went in and got some straw. Then the dream ended. It was veeeeery strange, no? roflmao

[Bawax]

i had a dream and thinking about it, there could have been a bit of a member connection but i'm not sure, i didn't remember much of the dream all i know was i couldn't find any of my CD's but U2 (bonos-girl? :huh: ) and while it was playing i was getting ready to go out, there was a noise in the back garden so i wen't out there and i got my ankle scratched by my neighbours feline friends (Catz? :huh: )

thats about all i remember but it does seem like a bit of a weird dream with very little point to it. :grin:

[SindarinGirl]

Wow, BG, that sounds freaky - you must dream really vividly. What an uncomfortable feeling that must be!

YB, I wouldn't tell too many people about puckering up to attract sheep if I were you! lol lol Ooops! Too late! ;) lol

[YayBoromir!]

LOL SG lol I dream about the freakiest things. Strangely I've never had a dream about WoTR... dreams never seem to reflect my day! Although I did see some sheep last Friday...lol

[Celebrían]

Just a little, YB... lol ;)

Okay, I had a LOTR related dream last night! :grin: I was at what I think was a conference center that I went to a few weeks ago, and I was standing on the porch of this large cabin-like building. I looked over towards the woods and out comes a group of Rivendell elves and Legolas with them! The weird thing was their clothes (Legolas was the only elf that had normal looking clothes). Their design was the same, but instead of being solid colors, they were tie-dyed! Elves and tie-dye.....the two don't really seem to go together, do they? lol

[HobbitFriend]

I had a very strange dream the other night:
My neighbor (who happens to be very heavy) was wearing red flip-flops and matching shorts. There are a whole bunch of girls in this new-looking room, carpeted, with a sort of table in the middle. The table is tierd (sp?) like a pyramid and she (my neighbor) gets on the top tier of the table, puts her hands up in the air while looking at her feet, and starts to dance like she's doing the Charlestown (dance from the 20s). Everyone starts laughing and she says to me, "You better not tell anyone!" (which is strange because everyone was in there! lol but i have strange dreams...) and it's about to get weirder: Then this guy from my English class walks in, stops when he sees her and goes, "Woa! What is she doing?" And everyone is still laughing and clapping. Then, he all of a sudden goes, "Just in time for me to play the piano!!!" and runs off to a black piano that happens to be at the end of the table. My neighbor ((who i dont see anymore - in real life - and have never even really been friends with her)), suddenly gets embarrassed, runs out of the room, and the guy is like banging the keys on the piano and can't really play, but everyone is clapping for him. He then pounds out a few chords and stops. When the music dies down, everyone shouts and claps like it's this huge performance! *the end* :huh:

[Little Devil]

Wow, you get really interestng/weird dreams, mine are boring if I ever do have any. ;)

[Undomiel]

i cant really remember what happened in my dream last night, but i do remember that i had one. I vaguely remember something about cheerleaders, which i guess would make sense as my sister made me watch Bring It On yesterday.:huh: I hate it when i know i've had a dream but i cant remember what was in it.

[Bonos-Girl]

oh great..blame me for your dreams B!! lol

[Mocha]

I have the same thing! I've been having that in the past couple of days, except that yesterday at night, I remembered the dream I had the other night when mom called and told me to tell the maids to close the bathroom's windows b/c of the dust outside...
:mmmm:

[YayBoromir!]

Those are some very strange dreams! lol They make a great read, though. Has anyone ever had a dream where they were flying? I haven't, although I would like to. :thumbs:
I had a dream where I died once, it wasn't very nice...:(

[Celebrían]

Flying dreams! I completely forgot about those! Yes, I've had those several times, although it's been awhile. They were quite fun, though. :thumbs: Last night, Theoden appeared in my dream. I don't remember what happened, but he was there for sure. :grin:

[YayBoromir!]

Decided to tell you about another veeeery strange dream I had last night! lol
I was in a town with my friend and we went into this shop. There were two men in there who asked us if we wanted to watch them pull a prank on someone. We said yes for some reason and then one of them went into the back room and came out in a Boromir costume roflmao Then he went into another shop and started shouting at the manager. :huh: Don't know what that was about!
Another part of the dream was when me and two friends were in a huge green bus with horrible yellow seats. The bus was about 2 lanes wide! lol The last part of the dream was that I was sitting in front of my computer playing music...what I usually do hehe...

[Undomiel]

That's v weird!!!!lol

I had another strange dream last night. I was at work (i work in Halfords which sells bikes and car parts) Anyway for some reason we had started taking customers coats and hanging them up for them. Then at one point i was on my break and i was going to get out of the store for a bit but as i walked i just felt so sleepy and i ended up lying down and falling asleep in oone of the aisles. (Falling asleep in a dream-weird!!!) Then this customer was yelling at me to get her coat, except i didnt know where it was and she was getting really annoyed with me. Then all of a sudden it started snowing and everyone ran outside to look. :huh: I never understand my dreams.

[Eowyn]

you're probably worried you can't cope at work. that they expect too much of you because you're always trying to please. I bet you get people ask where something is and you think 'why can't you look I don't know where everything is!'

yayboromir is obviously obssessed with :o boromir! shock horror :rolleyes: oh and I've had dreams where I;ve died and thank you so much for reminding me of that unpleasant memory. i can never forget the ones I want to! :angry:

well my dream is apparently back! I dreamt again about very fast weather changes involing clouds! only this time I was with friends and not family. everything was fine then things seemed wrong and then I looked outside as I was going to leave and there was a very pretty sunset which fast became storm clouds and next thing I knew I was dodging lightening! I need sleep! mecry

[Celebrían]

I've had dreams where I wake up from deep sleep, but I'm really still dreaming. Then I dream that I wake up again from the previous sleep, but I still haven't woken up for real...weird, huh?

[YayBoromir!]

Yeah, that's called a false awakening. I seem like the dream expert don't I lol I'm not though! I don't think I've ever had a false awakening before. I had a dream a few nights ago where I went missing for some reason and I slept on the streets outside a bank...some people from my school found me and I looked like a tramp when they got me back...then they took me for fish and chips...how very English! roflmao

[Celebrían]

lol Indeed! And did you go for Yorkshire Pudding afterwards? lol

[YayBoromir!]

Nope, nor did we go for tea and scones lol I think we actually climbed a mountain...a very strange thing to do! Probably an after-effect from my trip to Wales...oh the horror!

[Celebrían]

You don't mean that Wales was horrible, do you? :o I'd love to go to Wales. I know another LOTR fanatic here in my city who is from Wales. It would be so cool if he could take me on a tour sometime!

And just for the sake of staying on topic, I had a heap of odd dreams last night. I think Heath Ledger (did I spell his last name right?) appeared in one of my dreams, probably because I watched "The Four Feathers" last night. Not a bad movie....

[YayBoromir!]

Wales is really pretty, and I would definitely recommend it, it's just that I'm not into the whole mountain-climbing thing lol
Another part of my dream is that there was an incredibly steep hill. At the bottom was a game where you had to throw balls into holes and some meat would come out of a pipe. Then an enormous rabid cow would tear the meat to shreds and eat it. :elfeek: OMG...I'm weirder than I thought.

[Celebrían]

Oh my! :elfeek: VERY strange indeed! (not you, YB, the dream ;) ) And I would much rather tour Wales than climb her mountains! lol

[Celebrían]

Sorry for the double post, but the 15 minute time limit passed long ago, and I just had to tell you about this dream......

I really believe this is the worst dream I have ever had in my life. I dreamt that I was inside Iraq for some reason, and I was living inside this complex-type building with other foreigners. Anyway, (just a note, in my dream Saddam was still a very big presence) all of the Iraqis that were being held there decided they were going to sneak out of the country with out telling anyone. So they left the complex, and seconds later (after it had been discovered that they had escaped) a guard walks in with a machine gun and walks directly over to me and shoots me I don't know how many times. When I woke up, I could still feel the places on my chest where the bullets hit me. It may not sound that scary to you, but it was the most real dream I've ever had. It was awful......

[Bonos-Girl]

omg..i'm worried about me YB...i thought for a minute that you were describing wales rather than your dream :elfeek:!

[YayBoromir!]

LOL - if Wales had been like that I would have gone crazy :p not that I'm not already!
That sounds like a really horrible dream, Cel. I hope I never have one like that... I hate nightmares!

[Daeron]

I had a strange dream once where I had found this spider at work, and took it home as a pet.

I fed it pretty well and over the weeks it grew and grew and grew; two feet across, red legs and a translucent emerald green body. Not even slightly like the black hairy thing it had started life as. I did not know its gender, so I called it Ashley. It liked having its thorax rubbed. Although it did not make any sounds we seemed to have no trouble communicating to each other and like a more traditional pet it would sense my moods. And if I were grey it would sidle up to me and place its mandibles in my lap and look at me in that doe-eyed manner. It slept at the foot of my bed, and would wake me up in the morning by tickling my feet. Being a responsible owner I was concerned about Ashley's well-being so I started to take it for walks through the town, get it a bit of exercise and the like. Everywhere I went people yelled and ran, or pelted us with impromptu missiles. I really can't see why, I mean, I kept it on a leash and besides it had never attacked a person before. Soppy old thing wouldn't hurt a fly.

The strange thing is that I really *hate* spiders. If I really ever saw a spider that was two feet across I think I'd just keel over on the spot from shock!

[HobbitFriend]

hm, that is very strange and ironic. Maybe your dream was a sort of subconcious way of trying to conquer your fear of spiders :huh:

[Bonos-Girl]

wow...the creature sounds sooo cute,....i want one.

[Little Devil]

Interesting dreams! Well I'm not that big a fan of spiders and never dreamt of them before. I once had a dream I found a horse and it just kinda became mine. ;)

[OBsession]

Well I had a dream where I was the Crocodile Hunter! What does that mean? :)

[Bonos-Girl]

you;re physcho...NEXT! lol

[Daeron]

Following on from the pet spider dream, I had another dreams about spiders, but this time somewhat less friendly.

I'm laying on my bed, just staring into space when I begin to hear a strange rustling coming from the posters on my walls. I walk over to one of the posters and see strange humps moving to and fro beneath the paper. In curiosity I prod one of the bumps, and it scuttles away to the edge of the poster, and I see long spiders legs poke out from gap between the poster and the wall. I stand back, aghast, as the edges of all my posters seem to sprout spiders legs of many different lengths and girths. Small spiders begin to crawl across the walls and I see new ones come in from underneath the closed door of my room.

I run over to my bed and dive between the covers (this is quite an old dream :-). As the light begins to dim noticably I look across the room to see enourmous, spindly legs, as long as my body, and thick as stout branches, begin to lever the window open and pull themselves in...

I can't remember what happens after :-)

[Bonos-Girl]

sounds kinda like the spiders in HP.....

[Ranger]

Hmm, I had a strange dream last night...I was walking around a really old house - one of those Victorian type houses and I was wondering around with my mam, I can't remember what happened after that but the next thing I know I'm on my own in a hallway. I start speaking to some woman whose was about 30 or something and she says to me (something along the lines of) don't be scared I'm going to go into you. She starts being sucked inside my body and - by this time I start to wake up a little bit and I can't move at all and I heard this wooshing sound, quite loud and then I woke up...

[OBsession]

[Daeron]

A few years back, I spent some time as a roofer's labourer. Now I don't have a problem with heights, but up to that point I'd never really had to face them on a regular basis. When I say 'face heights' I mean carrying heavy things up 45 foot ladders, clambering overs rooves, working on top of tower blocks and the like, navigating rickety scaffolds, etc, etc.

Every single night for the first two weeks of the job, *all* I had was dreams about falling. I'd be up on a roof somewhere, and something unseen would begin to push me towards the edge. I'd be powerless to halt myself and I'd go tumbling over the edge. I'd see the ground racing towards be and *BAM*! My whole body would jolt, and I'd wake up with a start.

Or I'd be stepping off at the top of a ladder and I'd fall backwards, or I'd be walking along and my dodgy ankle would give way, making me stagger over the edge, and so on and so forth. The ways that I fell tended to vary, but always with the same end result; seeing the ground get closer, and waking up with a start.

I have to say, I was very glad when I stopped having those dreams! :-)

[Celebrían]

You mean you would actually hit botttom? :o That's scary!

[Galadriel]

That is very scary indeed!

[OBsession]

Hey do any of you start to fall asleep and then you have that feeling like you've just fell and you sorta twitch and wake up - that scares me! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

i like that feeling,.....its kinda scary while happening but its also really cool! lol

[Eowyn]

yes I get that feeling. Far too often
erm...BG whys your sig say your dating B (even on the cheap/fake thread its scary)

I keep dreaming about this essay I;ve been trying (and failing) to write. It's almost complete so hopefully that will stop.

[Little Devil]

I get that feeling and it totally freaks me out, I hate dreams about school that everything goes wrong, and then you wake up and it's still the holidays. phew. :grin:

[Lalaith]

:o I cannot believe I have only found this thread!! :o

I have been known to have the weirdest dreams! I can think of three LoTR-related ones now...

1) Orlando Bloom came to my appartment. Apparently I knew him - it was a great dream, as you can imagine, but in the same dream I failed an exam.... so... that kind of put me off the Boy Bloom for a while.

2) The only dream I have ever had featuring LoTR characters. Not the actors, mind.

Ok... I know that it featured Legolas, Galadriel, Gil-galad, Pippin and well, myself and a few of my friends. It sounds like an archetypal Mary-Sue fic, doesn't it?? Girls dropping into Middle Earth; First Age Elves mingling with Hobbits; dead Elves mingling with living ones... I dunno... obviously my subconscious puts no store in canon!

I can remember galloping at speed on horseback. Fun. I remember that Legolas was an absolute muppet - really impetuous, and most people were seriously annoyed with him. Especially Pippin, for some reason.

Galadriel was way off. She was small for one thing. I can remember thinking, 'Huh. The books lied - she's tiny!' Seriously, I think Pippin could have taken her...

It's a sickener but I can't really remember Gil-galad's face - he was wearing blue, I know that much!

Anyhoo, after this mad chase on horseback, we got to an inn, the inside of which looked remarkably like the hostel I stayed in, in Barcelona a couple of weeks prior to the dream.

I'm not sure where Pippin, Legolas or Galadriel were staying, but all of my friends (there were about ten of them) were put in one room. One teeny tiny room, into which ten beds had been squeezed. Oh, they did not look happy...

And they looked even less happy when I ended up... well... in Gil-galad's room. I opened the door... 'Hmmmmm. Nice big High-Kingly room. Nice big High-Kingly bed. Nice High King, really.'

And then...

I woke up...

Stupid alarm clock ;)

3) I had this one last week. Orlando Bloom. Again!! He was filming in this large house... Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon were in the dream too, as well as two of my friends. Again, we knew Orlando (but, of course!)

Soooo - I must have an over-active imagination!! lol

[Eowyn]

I wish I had star packed dreams!

[Celebrían]

What loverly dreams, Lalaith! I have LOTR dreams quite a bit....they're my fav (but of course! lol )

I had a dream the day I finished my last final (this was about 2 weeks ago) that I got my grades in the mail and as I opened them I saw that I had failed two of my courses! :o Oh it was awful! I finally did get them, though, and thankfully, I didn't fail. *whew!* :grin:

[Periantari Andruil]

haha..Cel, those dreams relating to bad grades...are NIGHTMARES...hehe fortunately i haven't had them :sighofrelief:
i'm glad that you didn't fail ;)

hehehe...btw very cool dreams Lalaith :thumbs:
omg these past few nights have been packed with LOTR related dreams...
3 nights ago i dreamt of a Frodo and Sam ROTK trailer...it was weird..i dont' remember details but i just knew it had something to do with Frodo and Sam being in Shelob's Lair and Mordor :grin:

and then last night i dreamt that me with two other friends had to destroy the Ring..but it was not at Mount Doom where the RIng had to be destroyed, but Barad-dur itself.... one of my friends got captured...used himself as bait which was really sad :(
but...it was weird having all those dreams ... i think i must be here too often ;) (or looking at pics and reading too much) hehe :grin:

[Celebrían]

I find that if I read LOTR a bit or listen to the soundtrack before going to bed, I can sometimes "induce" a LOTR dream! lol

Thanks, Andruil. ;)

[Periantari Andruil]

haha..i don't induce dreams..but they just happen ;)
but lately perhaps i've been posting too much in the worshipping threads/looking at pics... or just spending too much time in Middle Earth ;) i'm so obssessed !!! ahhh~! ;)

[Celebrían]

Well, maybe "induce" isn't the right word....let's just say that my chances of having a LOTR related dream go up if I do that. ;)

[Undomiel]

i just always have very odd dreams. I usually wake up and think "why on earth did i dream that?" For example last week i had a dream where i was eating dinner, and i had peas and they kept on multiplying!!!! It was so strange.lol

[Bonos-Girl]

my sig says i'm dating B in the cheap/fake date thread cos i am! lol

[Bawax]

i dreamt last night that i was fighting my two brothers, it was sort of a three way fight and we were whupping eachothers asses but then my nan came along and yeled at me and my eldest brother and we stopped hitting the middle one, we just started whacking eachother,

it has very little meaning from what i can see but we did kick eachother in whenever we got the chance a few years back. :grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

wow! a very erm...insightful...dream you had there B! lol how old are your brothers?

[Bawax]

tell me about it, my dreams are as stupid as they come. ;)

i'm 22, my brother is 23 and my other brother would have been 27 but the strange thing is, i'm the youngest but i'm the biggest out of us. :huh:

i must be the milkmans or something. ;) lol

[Bonos-Girl]

hmmm...i think we'vce had this discussion before! lol

[Bawax]

have we? just shows, i've the memory of a goldfish.

you not had any dreams lately?

[Bonos-Girl]

well...i have....don't remember them though!! i slept last night but i hardly slept at all in snowdonia!! lol lol

[Bawax]

:rolleyes:

and i said i had a bad memory. :p ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

thats unfair! how am i meant to remember things when i'm asleep?! lol lol anyways....something really scary happened to Pil in snowdonia to do with being asleep.....as in our entire room couldn't get to sleep until about 5 that morning! lol lol

[Bawax]

thats the time i'm up for work every day, the youth of today have it so easy. back in the good old days (when everything was black and white) children were shoved up chimneys for money.

what exactly happened in snowdonia? was it dream related or maybe something crawling on her bed?

[Bonos-Girl]

i get up at 6 so its not that different! lol

anyways...its kinda complicated but i'll try and explain....when we all went back to our room she was already in bed and asleep so we just kinda ignored her....at 11pm when a teacher came and turned the light off she woke up and was like 'where am i, what time is it, what time is it?' and stuff...so we told her and it turned out that all she remember is leaving a friends room about a minute away from our our, reaching our room and finding noone in it. somehow, without her knowing it, she had gotten changed and positioned her aragorn and brego toy at the end of her bed. she couldn't remember any dreams or anything either whcih was the most scary thing since she always remembers at least pafrt of her dreams....and her head hurt as if she'd done something to it but couldn't remember doing anything to it at all. in the end we kidnda concluded that she was really exhausted from not sleeping for 48 hours and walked in a half-asleep kinda state into bed and then collapsed or fainted or summat.....it was sooo scary though...

[Eowyn]

BG why? have you lost your mind or has he pestered you until you gave in? lol ok so he's not that bad....for a west ham fan :grin:

back to the topic:
for once I had a night of calm where I didn't have bizarre dreams or wake up at 6 when the sun comes up and the darn geese serenade me from outside my window!

aragorn and brego toys? ok I've done that before its horrible but I was so tired. I hate thinking I;ve done something and not being able to remember....it's a horrible feeling.

[Bonos-Girl]

why what? and that last comment about B was harsh! lol

[Bawax]

hey Eowyn, thats not fair, BG is perfectly sane, its every other female (and Illu) thats mad for constantly rejecting my loving. ;) lol

we'll still do better then your lot next year. pfbbt lol

[Illuvatar]

:o :o :o
every other female (and Illu) thats mad for constantly rejecting my loving.

What the heck is that? :elfeek: :elfeek:

How in Middle Earth did I get pulled into this?

Maybe I should go back and read through this dream thread...hmmmm

I've rejected your loving? You been dreaming about me there B?

[Bawax]

no i just asked you to marry me once. :huh: lol

the way i see it if i'm going down, i'm dragging everyone else with me. :)

[Illuvatar]

Ahhhhh....phew!!

Although, I don't seem to remember the proposal! lol :blush:

But as long as I'm not part of your fantasies then I'm oooookay! :p

[Catz]

lol thats cos it wasnt you Illu..........it was Elendur.............really B *sighs* you werent joking about the goldfish memory were you? lol
amd just for the record.........i have NEVER rejected you...........i just wouldnt marry you :p ;) lol roflmao lol
and thats not rejection...........thats common sense ;):flamer:
:catz:

[Shieldmaiden]

I once had a dream that I was driving with my family through a fish market, and I saw my friend picking up a giant pink fish...then somehow I ended up in a carpeted room with all these DVD covers everywhere, and I had a jar of gummy bears and the lid was made of the same stuff as the gummy bears...
Also, about a few weeks before and after my European History exam, I kept having dreams about historical figures...first, I had a dream that there was an election, and Stalin was one of the candidates. (No one voted for him because he was dead.) Then I had a dream that I went back in time in Germany to the time of the Protestant Reformation, and everyone was talking about Martin Luther...then I had a dream about Catherine the Great and Frederick William IV of Prussia, but that was all I could remember...
My friend once had a dream that her dog was swimming in her toilet. What do you suppose that means? (lol didn't Pippin say that once to Gandalf? roflmao okay it's not that funny, I need to calm down...)

[HobbitFriend]

lol a dog swimming in a toilet.... heard of them drinking out of toilets (ew) but actually swimming in one and dreaming about it... it's um... interesting to say the least! lol
((and "what d'you suppose that means" was actually Merry's line ;) :p haha))
I don't know why people have such strange dreams... makes life interesting anyhow! lol I'm like the Queen of strange dreams... or so my friends call me. They always love to hear my dreams. They're always so strange. Some are really nice though :) But to give you an idea of the strange ones: when i was little, i used to have a reacurring dream that someone would chop the ears off of my bunny (it was a stuffed-animal... buster bunny from Tiny Toons) and flush the ears down the toilet and then they'd carry me away crying :huh: Then i once had a dream that my dad tried to kill me... and i constantly have dreams about dogs, except they're always evil in my dreams (i was afraid of dogs for a while after some of the dreams i had).
And then another re-occurring dream I have (even still) is this lake. I'm walking along side it and it's a nice warm, sunny day. The water is so clear and beautiful that i can see right down to the light, clean sand at the bottom. It's really shallow down the end I start at and i notice this girl swimming underwater with this tube sticking out of the water for air (it's not even a snorkle... it's like that white tubing plumbers use!), the girl is out of my site, but i see this small boat come by in the opposite direction of the girl and i think "OMG! The propeller on the boat is going to kill that girl!" and then i keep walking and don't think about it anymore. Then I get to the end of the small lake or w/e it is and it's much deeper and still clear and beautiful and i have this urge to jump in and go swimming! Except, there's this tiny voice inthe back of my head saying "don't go in the water!!!" but i say, hey, there's no harm, the water is so clean and clear! Just one quick dip!... next thing i know, i'm in the middle of the lake, which now is so huge and i'm stuck right in the middle... the sky turns dark and cloudy and the water is VERY GROSS and grey and mirky... i can't see anything underneath the surface of the water! and surrounding me is a whole bunch of rusty, old debris: a hunk of rusting metal here, an old rusty fishhook there... and i'm so scared, and i don't want to touch anything and i have a fear of touching something gross and slimy with my feet. Then my dream ends. Except one time my dad came over... he was rolling his eyes at me as i was screaming and he's all like "what's the matter with you?" he apparently doesn't see all of the debris that is in the water.... he takes me and puts me on the shore. :huh: <-- this dream constantly freaks me out... if anyone has any ideas as to what it means.

[Celebrían]

That is scary.....perhaps you have a fear of making mistakes? (I know most people do, but I mean very big mistakes....) Does that make any sense? Just a theory.......

If I had a nickel for every dream I've had that Shepard Smith from Fox News has been in, I'd be a wealthy woman.....I dream about Fox News personalities a lot......No wonder....I watch it all day long, and go to sleep with it on my tv!

[OBsession]

Hey Cel! How are you?

of course you will you've got derby to beat! lol although could you please make saure you beat Bradford ;)

anyway I'm sorry B you're sweet really I just don't want to admit it.....which I think I have oops!

over the hills and far away?? you've been watching sharpe! :whoohoo:

Hobbitfriend you have VERY strange dreams! I assume its reflecting your feelings towards life. even when things appear safe something always ruins it! c'est la vie! and you must really trust your dad if he's always the one that saves you!
The scariest things are those you can't see. well thats my opinion.....except spiders. *shivers*

[HobbitFriend]

haha yeah, me and my weird dreams :rolleyes: and thank you for helping me to decipher it! :)

[Eowyn]

did it make sense then? usually its better to decipher them yourself because they are normally directly linked to real life. :huh:

[HobbitFriend]

yeah... i had some ideas myself, but like you and Cel said, it probably reflects how i feel a little uneasy about life and things in it, etc... :huh: but i always have strange dreams haha

[Galadriel]

Hobbitfried your dreams are always stange, but those are some of the strangest ones I have ever heard. And like everyone has said it probably has to do with life. I know you hate making mistakes and are fearful that one little thing could mess up evrything. Believe me I think that dream was showing you thats its okay to take risks and mess up evreyone once in a while, I know I do. Hope I ahve helped.

Lets see a dream I had lately was interesting. I was in Egnlish class and we were talking about who would make a good couple and this kid shavo(not real name lol) said that me and my crush would. But just when me and my crush were going to kiss this other guy, who is always all over girls proclaims his undying love to me and then I don't know what to do. And then this other annoying kid named Jared says pick Greg he is a much better choice than Dan. Atleast he won't forget when its you birthday or something. Then I am left confused and having no idea what to do and everyone is saying pick, pick. and the i wake up.

[HobbitFriend]

hmm... you know what Galadriel.. i have the same types of dreams!!!! :o Okay, a bit of background for you dream interpreters out there... Galadriel and I are best friends and go to the same school. She likes the guy names Dan in her dream, and i like the guy named Greg.
Just like Galadriel, i have dreams of Greg liking her instead of me. One dream i had was that i found one of Greg's books and it had Galadriel's name written all over it! So, i don't know what that means :huh: Maybe i'm afraid that Greg will end up going out with Galadriel :huh: i don't relly know to be honest.

[Eowyn]

I don't think its Galdriel you're worried about. It's probably just general but if she's your closest friend she'll always be the person who appears in your dreams!

quite funny though my boyfriends called Dan lol must be something about the name ;)

[HobbitFriend]

haha Is he very disorganized too? ;) Galadriel's Dan has his locker so stuffed with papers that you can't shut it! And if it does get shut and you try to open it... watch out! lol
I think you're right about my dream too... I really don't think i'm worried about Galadriel "stealing" Greg or anything, but i wonder what the dreams mean anyway...

[Eowyn]

probably nothing but subconscious worries. :huh:
My Dan is strange though he doesn't dream :huh: or so he claims but he has the worst memory so he probably just forgets. lol

[HobbitFriend]

lol oh no... he sounds a lot like Galadriel's Dan! hahaha must be the name! lol That's just great haha.

I'm not worrying about my dreams too much right now. i've got so much going on, that my dream world isn't on the top of my list of priorities at the moment ;)

[Eowyn]

well if I dream about the darn cambrian explosion again I'll go mad but thats because I've written 2 essays about it and I have a presentation about it. In particular S.J Gould who if he wasn't dead would be soon! grrrr!

[Little Devil]

I had a really werid dream last night, I had this funny green ring and I couldn't let evil get hold of it, or the world would perish, kinda like Lotr now! :)

[Eowyn]

did you succeed?

[YayBoromir!]

I had a strange dream this morning, like a false awakening (dreaming you wake up when you're still asleep). I dreamt I went on MSN messenger (something I never do at school mornings), talked to two friends from school, and was ready at 8:00. Then I heard my mum shouting "it's 8 o clock!" and woke up with a jolt, realising I had overslept! lol

[Eowyn]

oops! I've had saome like that. so annoying they leave you confused all morning!

[Nessa the Dancer]

Oh my!! I've just read all the way through this thread, you guys make my dreams feel almost...well...normal lol

I had a sleepwalking dream once when I younger where I dreamt I got up and rolled all the way down the stairs, all rolled up in my blanket.
When I woke up, I found myself at the bottom of the stairs all wrapped up in my blanket, and not in the least bit hurt. Now that was weird!

[Eowyn]

and you think yours are normal :rolleyes:

[Estell]

I once dreamed about going to some weird fabric store with m mother .. and next thing I knew, I was at school, and it was fourth period. I cornered my best friend and demanded to know whether I'd been there that morning or not ... and I can't remember what she said!\

Then I went with two of my friends (who in reality would not be seen with each other) to the same shop.

That was a weird, disturbing sort of dream. Last night I dreamed about a man with black hair floating in a fishtank ... he was alive, by the way ...he was!
Weird, huh?:wiggle:

[HobbitFriend]

hm... strange...

I had a dream last night about my neighbors... :p they're a young couple and have two little kids: about 2 and 4 yrs old. I don't really remember the whole dream, but what i clearly remember is them, a jeep, feeling afraid about something, and a dark sky... hm... :huh:

[Pearl Took]

I've had so many insane dreams its not even funny. Just last week I had a dream that I was an undercover spy and Cap. Jack Sparrow from PotC was my partner (hehe) and we had to fight these samurai's. And the island was gonna blow up, and some poor kid had his tongue cut off (PotC).... Very very weird.

[Galadriel]

I dreamed the other day that I was stuck in the elevator with one of my best friends at Spirit Camp. There was also this cute boy in the elevator that I have a crush on. It seemed that their was a bomb in the building so thats why the elevator stopped. We all did get out safely and I ended up dating the guy. It was all really scary but exciting at the same time. It was really weird.

[HobbitFriend]

ooo hey, i'd like to get stuck in an elevator with my crush!! :naughty: lol Unfortunately, I never have any good dreams like that :rolleyes: My dreams are always strange and make no sense!

Once, i had a dream that I was with the guy I like... it was dark out and we were trying to sneak into some hotel like spies. And our disguises? HE was wearing a dress, lipstick, and scarf on his head :o and I was wearing a guy's suit and top hat! :o And we were there like that because I was in a phone booth talking to someone creapy who told me to open the wrapper on my candy bar, and to follow the directions written in the chocolate! :p Sure..... :rolleyes: I think i have THE strangest dreams here! :rolleyes:

[Galadriel]

lol thats quite funny you know. And yes I think you do have pretty strange dreams.

[Bawax]

i dreamt i was rich, really rich i mean, Paul McCartney rich, but all i wanted to do was hoard my money and never spend a penny of it and never change my life from what it is.

very strange, i normally spend whatever i can get my hands on. :huh:

[HobbitFriend]

maybe your dream is trying to tell you something, then ;) lol

[Shieldmaiden]

I had this really weird dream the other night, in which I was walking along this seaside cliff, and suddenly Merry and Pippin are running towards me. I'm really excited, of course, but all I can think to say is, 'Hey! You're Frodo's cousins, aren't you?' Merry says, 'Of course! Didn't you know that?' :rolleyes: Then I look over the edge to the sea, and there's these cows walking around in the shallow water. :huh:

A few weeks ago, I had a dream that a ferret was attacking me... :hmppf:

[Celebrían]

I actually had a really cool dream the other night...I dreamed that I went to a brand new theatre (it's in the works, but not yet built, although in my dream it was already built) anyways...really cool theatre, and when I got inside, a trailer for RotK started playing! And the best part was...it wasn't like it was on the screen..it was like 3-D...It was so real! I can still remember it. Great dream...;) :grin:

[Tirithel]

About a week ago, I had this dream that I had a hamster, and I was trying really hard to take really good care of it, because the last hamster I owned died and I felt sooooooo bad. (that part is real- I really did have a hamster when I was like 12 and he died- poor Elvis! *sniffle!*) In the dream I remember that I was going to be late to work, but I just had to clean out the hamster's cage. I was late to work, but I got it done.

Before I went to bed that night, I was catching up with an old friend of mine, and we ended up talking about this messed up situation between myself and a few other of my friends that happened a while back, and I feel really bad about it cuz it's aaaaaaaalll my fault. I was telling my friend how I'm going to see these people again soon and of late I've been really nervous about it and wondering whatever I can say that will make things all right between us.

The dream about the hamster is a symbol of my determination to right my wrongs and make up for my past mistakes. Since dreams are a combination of your brain running through recent memories and old ones, I get to dream about hamsters. lol

Freaky, huh? (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo *Twilight Zone Theme Music plays) Put that one together myself! :)

[Shieldmaiden]

Last night I had this dream that I was in a very high floor in an apartment building, and there were...hundreds of Uruk-Hai down on the ground, and they were trying to attack us by climbing up the fire escape. I was freaked out, of course, so I threw these little match-like things at them, and they exploded like little fireworks. But that didn't help much, and when they finally reached the top I suddenly had a sword. I got lots of them pretty good! :grin: Anyway, I'll spare you the gory, graphic details of the fight, but by the end these people that were in the apartment with me [I never met them before] and I had killed the entire army. It was bloody cool!

[Eowyn]

well done Tiri! :thumbs:

did you get them from gandalf? lol
sounds grusome!

I can't think of any interesting dreams I've had recently :( I did pull my covers back to get into bed the other night and this big black spider ran across. It hid somewhere and I couldn't find it! I spent the whole night thinking I don't want to eat that spider in my sleep its big! :o mecry needless to say I didn't get much sleep at all!

[Bawax]

was you hungry the next day? cause if you were'nt then i'm thinking that spider met its maker in the night. ;)

i had a dream last night, i was at work but not doing anything and for some reason i had to find a girl i know but i had to do it with someone who i used to go to school with and because he was annoying me i pushed him off a flyover and he got hit by a large yellow lorry. strange thing is i actually like the person i "killed" so i can't make sense of it. :huh:

[Tirithel]

Perhaps killing him in your dream is a symbol of your want to change something about him in real life. :huh: That's my best guess...

I had a a really cool one the other night about living in this giant barn-style house with a ton of other people, and it got, like, invaded. One of the "invaders" looked at two good friends of mine and said, "What is the house of Eorl but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek and their brats roll on the floor with the dogs?" Then I got stabbed in the back of the knee with a butter knife when I was walking up some stairs...it was a really cool dream, if you can believe it.

[Ranger]

I had a weird one a couple of nights ago - actually all mine are really weird but anyway, I was in my room and I saw my Gerbil walking around on my bed, I went and picked her up and when I look into my hands I'm holding a baby Crocodile. I take it to the front door, walk outside into the front garden and put the Croc behind the white metal fence we have. I went back inside then turn around to see where the Croc went and I see it coming towards me, I go to close the door and when I looked down again there's three cats. One tabby, I can't remember the colour of the other one then the third is this really tiny, small than a Chihuahua, black cat wit a long tail - then I woke up.

[Eowyn]

I was hungry! anyway it turned up on the landing a couple of days later.... I think it's still in the house! :o

B could it be that you feel that in order to complete some task you have to hurt someone you care about? sometimes dreams show those feelings in extreme circumstances....at least I hope you don't feel you have to kill people! :o

Tiri how is that a cool dream? you were stabbed in the back of the knee! ouch!!! and why a butter knife? :huh:

Ranger thats a lot of animals! I would guess that your dream would have more significance if you looked at your feelings towards each animal. were you scared of the croc? or creeped out by the kittens? if so why? allergies to animal fur or a bad memory of that animal? or were you watching animal documentaries late into the night? ;)

[Tirithel]

It was cool in the fact that I remember it so vividly. Seriously, it was "shot" like a movie, with different camera techniques and angles and stuff, and it really appealed to me. Plus, the thing with the Saruman quote...I got such a kick out of it.
