nightmare jennifer I pray that sleep will come soon in the meantime I strain at every passing car every sound of distant footsteps every any inclination that you are here and in time sleep decends and the night is fitfull puncutated with mocking laughs and guilt-casting eyes and when I wake I am alone 991207 ... elimeny it's scary. you are in that nightmare, and you know you should be screaming, but in the dream, no sound comes out. like you have laryngitis. like when the sea witch took away ariels voice. but you wake yourself up screaming. so it's similar to underwater. have you ever screamed underwater? there is no echo. it's scary. when you scream, you want that echo, you worked your throat hard for that echo. and it's like in a nightmare. and you wake up, and you are scared. and so you try not to fall back in, but you cannot keep yourself awake. and there you are screaming that silent non-echoing scream again. and it goes much deeper than a nightmare. but if i were to scream to you, there would be no echo. you couldn't slaughter the black horse that steals me away into my "dreams". so there. 991207 ... typhoid trapped at the bottom of a lake full of reeds i can't breathe being chased by someone in a speed boat maniacal laughter dirt in my hands reeds in my facesomething jumps on my neck, never mind, it's just a frog. changes to a large, candlelit room, people huddled in the corners a dark doorway. i have to leave. but i'll be back... changes to more running, more hiding, trying not to be found, and protecting those around me. 991228 ... lotusflower it is real. 000224 ... calliope mazes. always mazes. i run. i can't see behind me when i look back. i know it's behind me. i hear its breath. i feel it on my neck. its wind whispers what it wants in my ears i never scream or maybe i do it just gets swallowed out of my mouth 000430 ... girl then i wake up crying and the sound wakes you and you take me in your arms and you hold me tight and remind me that it isnt real and that i will be alright and that you love me and will keep me safe forever 000503 ... MollyGoLightly One night I woke up with a little "Eep!" and sat up straight. I had a dream that someone was chasing me. With a gun I think. So he touched my back and asked what was wrong. And I said (in my pathetic little-girl voice no doubt) that I'd had a nightmare. 000528 ... WoNDERGIRL I have this reccuring dream that you've left me. So much for ridding me of insecurities. I'll always hold on to them. 000528 ... MollyGoLightly i had a dream last night that i was waiting on this really nice family. every time i tried to make their drinks, the glasses disentegrated in my hands, and the liquid disappeared. i woke up sweating. 000618 ... derek there is something just so delicious about running your fingertips down a women's spine down to the small of her back, and finding a tiny little pool of sweat just waiting to be tasted and lapped up, a salty little appetizer before a banquet... 000619 ... silentbob all the women in my life have told me nightmares they've had. stories of men doing the worst things to them, stealing their pride, making them ashamed to look people in the face. i now know who they were talking about in those stories. It's YOU buddy. you're a fuckin sicko you get off on women's fear 000619 ... derek bobby boy, YOU is the f****n' sicko. Where you get your ideas that I enjoy "forcing" women in any way into anything, I got no idea. Somewhere in your whacko right side of your grey matter you have the ability to psychoanalyze; the key component of "psychoanalyze" being "anal", like your retention... 000621 ... girl for a while i was having a reoccuring theme in my dreams. i would dream that he would hit me or grab my throat ar kick me and i was terrified and deeply hurt. i would wake up crying every time and many times he would wake me. he was very concerned when i told him about the dreams. i was afraid to go to sleep. then oddly one night they just stopped and i havent had a dream like that since. 000811 ... vix Sweet dreams in a world full of nightmares.. 000811 ... psycho insomniac it consumes my thoughts and my dreams. it there in my mind and in the pit of my stomach everytime i close my eyes, and i feel i cant escape it. no matter what i do, it follows me...everywhere. i cant dodge it, i cant run from it, i cant hide my face and hope that it disapears... because sometimes my life is a living nightmare. and i think i would rather die than face it. 000829 ... Rainer What if I woke up the very next moment screaming and finding this all was only a nightmare...nice, not? I wonder though where I'd be then...whom I'd be...with whom I'd be...would it still be nice? I don't think so. Things tend to get worse at an average rate of each other minute. 001010 ... SUZ MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE WITH HER HUSBAND!! THAT'S A LIVING NIGHTMARE. 001010 ... sabbie i wake up in the morning sweating, shaking and once again tell the boy "had a nightmare" and he puts his arm around me and says "poor sab" and then i tell him what my brain conjured up this time. chasings, prhaps. killings, rapes, tortures, accedents, isolation, hurt, pain, blood, fear. and he looks down at me with worried eyes and says "whats going on in your head?" and i shake my head, and i wonder that myself. how did i make an enemy of my own brain that it hates me so much that it entertains itself scaring me shitless several times a week? whats it trying to say? and why does it choose to say it in such frightening ways? 001023 ... psycho babe wakeing up in a cold sweat, shakeing from the fears deep within my mind that lurk all around me. Of abuse from men, being emotionally abused and physically against my will...the intense feeling that I am not here alone, theres something there within my mind that comes out and taughnts me...from within I scream... help me....please 001103 ... splinken I had this dream that you were trying to stab me with a pair of scissors. I bet you'd think that's funny. 001106 ... SC OTT ok, nightmares are simply our fears tricking us into negative actions or habits. psycho babe and all other women need to break em! lots of men act upon their feelings of inferiority by lashing out at women, because they are too frightened to deal w/them. Babe, do not allow those phantom dreams to disturb you, you must allow your mind to ease into a state of calm. try laughter, every time you are afraid, or subjected to nightmares, remember that i am a man(a straight man) who just so happens to be ovulating! i have also come to the conclusion that i must bear my own children! OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHH!!!! PEACE 001129 ... tourist It's never the boogie man or monsters, for me the scary things seem to be apparently civilized, cultured men in suits and ties. I'm with them being accepted as one of them and then I realize that they have commited horrible acts, such as murder. Yet they have no remorse only power. Once they realize that I am uncomfortable with them I become a danger and they seek to destroy me as well. I wake up now. 001129 ... tourist RE: DIEING in a Dream Some people think if you are killed in a dream you will actually die. I can attest from personal experience that this is NOT true, having had several dreams in which I died. One I remember being struck by a car.As a ghost I informed my mother not to waste money on a funeral because I was alright. Don't sweat hitting the bottom, nothing's gonna happen. And if you can realise you're dreaming you can cause things to happen, Like flying, or getting the girl of your dreams( no pun intended ) but if you do the latter you'll have a wet spot in bed with you ,trust me on that one. 001129 ... start of a pretty big downer They´re roaring, they´re screaming, they´re laughing..... I´m..... I................... 001230 ... oh bing oh bing IN MY DREAM THE WORLD HAD SUFFERED A TERRIBLE DISASTER.. A DARKNESS COVERED THE SUN AND THE SCREAMS OF DEAD AND THE DYING...FACELESS VICTIMS. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LIGHT.. A SYMBOL OF HOPE FOR MILLIONS.. A FLAME OF MANKIND'S LAST HOPE... I LAUGHED AND BLEW IT OUT.... 001230 ... zero angel with needles poked through our eyes and let the ugly light of the world in and we were no longer blind and we were no longer blind 001230 ... DannyH Fingers, a little more spidery than usual. So perhaps I should tell you about the meat puppet I saw last night in the time just before drifting off to sleep. Made me a little sick to see it I don’t mind telling you. It was jiggling on its string in the pitch black dark with its sharp raggedy little claws jerking forward rapidly. A seconds image, smouldering on my retina as I opened my eyes pulling sharply out of the first stages of sleep. It was mocking and vicious, dangerous and sadistic. For the second my mind was projecting that image, some maverick faction had clearly gained control of my imagination. Working to its strange and inexplicable agenda this terrorist group of synaptic connections launched a surprise attack when I was at my weakest. A warning, a lesson? What did this part of my brain want, what was it trying to do and why? What dark motives do I have buried deep within me that would make me want to appal myself? There is no answer because the image fades in a second and the culprits are beyond interrogation.All I am left with is the knowledge that somewhere some part of my consciousness wanted that picture to be created and shown, and some other part wanted to watch. Some small detail of the subconscious horse trading going on inside my skull no doubt, something my waking eyes were not meant to see. Your secret is out, dark part, I now know you can draw and with enough effect to shock. Will you now draw something for me? A commission at my bidding. Will you turn your fiendish instruments over to my command to benefit us all, or would they be useless or dangerous in my hands? Come with me, nightmare maker and let us create beauty together out of the stuff of night terrors. 010423 ...
