Scary Dreams Are Scary

Category:

I wish it were easy to change a scary dream into a pleasurable dream, but I haven’t figured out the mathematical algorithm yet for that. It’s pretty crappy when you wake up from a scary dream and you’re huffing and puffing and sweating like a teenage boy who just finished playing racquetball with his boyfriend.

For a while there I kept having these dreams where I’d be getting chased by random people who wanted to beat me up or kill me. It would suck because when I’d try and run away from these dudes I couldn’t run fast at all, in fact my running speed was basically a slow walk. It’s kind of like those scary movies from the 80’s and Freddy Krueger would be chasing the person and he’d only be walking while the victim would be running, but Freddy would still be very close by. Eventually I’d wake up from those dreams and be trying to catch my breath. My pillow would be all wet so I’d need to flip it over or else I’d probably would’ve caught pneumonia! I checked a dream meanings website to see what being chased meant and I guess it means that you have some kind of anxiety going on in your real life, “Chase dreams often stem from feelings of anxiety in your walking life. The way we respond to anxiety and pressure in real life is typically manifested as a chase dream.”. Who would’ve thought chase dreams were so deep in meaning?

Last night I had a weird dream where I was in school still and I was in English class and had to write a paper on some book we were supposed to read. Well, I know that in my dream that with past books that we needed to write papers on I would just skim the book and write a paper. Well for whatever reason I didn’t write the paper and when the teacher came around to pick up our papers I asked him if I could turn it in late because I didn’t finish it The teacher said “No, way! You’re getting a zero!”. I was like “Fuck, now I’m going to fail English and I’m not going to graduate”. I was so bummed out and when I awoke from the dream I was short of breath and freaking out. I was actually still thinking for a few seconds when I woke up that I needed to pass English, then I realized I’m not in school anymore and I’m a fucking incredible mutual funds processor!!! I checked the dreams website and it said “To dream that you are in school, signifies feelings of inadequacy and childhood insecurities that have never been resolved. It may relate to anxieties about performance and abilities. You may also be going through a “spiritual learning” experience.”.
Wow, I really am quite an amazing person when it comes to dreaming! I may be kind of shallow and narcissistic, but my dreams are so heavy!

I’m obviously fucking crazy and need mental help, especially with anxiety and feeling inadequate. Dreaming is so deep, deeper than a Stephen King novel. I can only hope to take on scary dreams head to head and defeat them with a strike to the chest and a blow to the head!

What are your scary dreams?

    So far I have died by nuclear bomb at least 3 times, attacked by a crocadile while running through a swamp, fallen from an airplane, woke up right before the rollercoaster hit the ground from flying off the track, woke up next to a slightly overweight girl whom I met in the bar. OK so that wasnt really a dream, but god I wished it was.

    Haha… That’s awesome. I steal lingo from Gregg and everyone, including my non-internet friends, think I made it up. Hooray for Erica being a trend setter!!!! I guess it just comes down to the fact that I’m cooler than you and that I don’t need to pimp out my website or have a shaking head banner…

  15. dirty February 28th, 2007 9:50 am

    It’s true Erica…you are WAY cooler than Gregg…although you have to admit that the shaking head thing is super creepy.

    Some fucked up dreams Greg. I once had a dream that I was lying on a bed and my wife and family were standing over me, my wife was folding my clothes and they were all sad. I then realized I was on an embalming table and they were getting ready to do an autopsy on my dead body.

  25. Erica February 28th, 2007 10:58 am
