now and again the dream-masters (or mistresses) see fit to let me actually remember what i dream. and, in between that now and again, they let me recall it vividly. generally i don't remember dreams -- i have this dream bag (not unlike a dream catcher) beneath my pillow because once upon a time i had nightmares so badly that i wouldn't sleep for days.
anyways!! last night: this dream was insane and freaky-scary! but of the sort that now that i'm awake, i can laugh at it, and did once i woke up.
i'm deathly afraid of spiders. as in not just "eek it's a spider waaaaah!!! *runs like a girl*" i mean clinical arachnophobia. i can tell the story how it started in another post, if anyone cares to know, but it's long (though entertaining) and so i'll save that for later.
so in the dream, i'm continually having to kill, then rid the house of spiders. everytime i think they're gone, i find another one. i find out at the end of the day that this government funded organisation has randomly chosen me as their project to cure arachnophobia. through shock and trauma, LOL. but all the spiders i deal with are no bigger than say, a thumbnail. kind of like brown wood spiders. so i gloat and boast and i'm all proud that i've gone the entire day dealing with spiders, and learning to not freak out and squish them on impulse.
i wake up in the middle of the night, in the dream that is, and go to get a drink of water. there's another brown woodspider on the floor, and i freak and then remember "what i learned." i take a cup to try and scoop it up to throw outside, and then suddenly it ... grows. it had its legs folded up beneath it's body, and they uncurled when i touched it, so it effectively doubled in size. i'm like, 'ohhhhhmygod, okay, okay i can handle this, alright,' and i adjust to it, and try again.
then it triples in size, and so on and so forth, until it is this massive atrocity of a spider, and it has big beady eyes and fangs (have you guys ever seen a wolf spider?! it looked like that in the face, but had the body of a recluse) and it was doing this hissy laugh, like "sss! sss! sss!" and it raised its front legs at me, like it was posturing (hobo spiders do that). like it wanted to throw down.
it chases me 10 blocks away to where the skate park is, and it starts to hiss that if i don't do a 720 it's going to eat me. i started to cry and said that even tony hawk messes up the 720 sometimes and that wasn't fair, and couldn't i just do something else instead? it said no. i have to do the 720 or be eaten. i of course did not complete the 720 and woke up just when i was about to get snarked up into the spider's mouth.
i woke up all cold-sweat and panicky, and then when i was retelling this dream to my mom and daughter, they stared at me, and then shiloh starts to do the "laughs and points" thing, and my mom slowly backed away down the hall .. at which point she started to laugh so hard i thought she was going to pop.
hope that story bought out a few smiles (at my expense!)

I think we've all had dreams like that from time to time.
But doesn't it give you the biggest feeling of relief there is when you wake up and discover it was indeed only a dream? And then when you think about it, you realize that, now matter how "real" it seemed, there were aspects of it that were just plain false.
Strange as it may sound, I am often times glad when I have a dream like that; after I wake up and then go back to sleep, I feel I sleep even better afterwards.
Weird, huh?

i sure have noticed that! i mean there's obvious ones, such as there's absolutely nothing realistic about a spider the size of a van, but there's also subtle ones you don't notice until waking. for instance the skate park's half-pipe was way, way, way too big; insanely big. and in past dreams there's things like orange carpeting where ours is brown/white, etc.
it IS a huge relief though, oh yes.
so how 'bout you? what's a crazy/vivid/funny dream you've had? anyone else want to share some, too?

really, REALLY scary *haha!*, but damn, it was so funny too!
You seem to understand this yourself, the humor in having an argument with a spider wether to do a 720 or get eaten...! *hahaha!*
Sorry I'm laughing so much, I'm not laughing AT you, I'm laughing WITH you, or something... I too have had horribly scary dreams, even dreams I've killed people I absolutely truly hate and despise, and then been devastated in the dream because I'm all bloody and a murderer, and those dreams are just horrible and awful. This one may have been horrible and awful too, but in a really crazy, silly way!
Oh... You might not want to go see The Return of the King if you dislike spiders so much... Even though Elijah Wood is the sexiest hottest guy alive! *cough* *ahem*
Well, maybe you prefer Liv Tyler, what do I know?
I too have very vivid dreams at times, and sometimes when I do I write about them here. This: http://forum.iomfats.org/w-agora/view.php?bn=forumiomfatsorg_placeofsafety&key=1057057488&pattern=nimble is an example (if the link works), and that time when I did try anti-depressants I felt nothing, except my dreams got even MORE interesting than usual! I had magnificient dreams on a weekly basis, but it was just too much of a bother taking those pills and not feeling any difference except having those dreams. Also, they were expensive. Not for me because I got them for free, but for our taxpayers, so I stopped taking them.
ANyway, thank you so much for sharing! I loved reading about your amazing dream, next time you have a troublesome spider wanting you to do a 720 or else get eaten, ask smith to stand in for you. He's a skater-boi.
HUGS!

laughy mc-laugherton!! ;-D
i will check that link just as soon as i reply to this, hehe!!
if smith can do 720s he'll be idolised more than tony hawk and bam margera in my book. as it stands i've only ever landed a 320 TWICE. only twice, and the second time was highly questionable...
i will hide my eyes when i go see "return of the king". because i haaave to see it. i can't wait until they release the trilogy as a whole set -- i've been waiting for that so i've not bought the first two parts yet.
as for elijah vs. liv, well .... if i could have them both i'd be happy. i swear eli has to be at least bi. there's no way he could live with orlando for 2 years and NOT have messed around with the pretty elf boi. mmmmmm. and liv as arwen was breathtaking.
that's strange about the dreams with anti-d's. the one i'm about to be put on after the wellbutrin exits my system and the pain is gone, is called lexapro. and apparently, supposedly, one of the 'rare' side effects is altered dreamstates. that's kind of intimidating ... i just want to rid myself of anxiety. maybe the scary bossy spiders are telling me something??
time to go read your link now! :-*

I couldn't help it, I really hope you weren't offended!
You gotta admit though, as far as nightmares go, this must have scored pretty high on the coolness-scale, right? I mean, it should have ranked pretty high on anyone's bizarreness-scale too.
I usually like bizarre stuff.
Take care. Try not to dream any more scary dreams, okies?
Hugs.
