Weird, scary nightmare

About 04:30 tonight I dreamt that somewhere outside, I dunno where, but it was either high up near some mountains or just some..where, there were 2 cars on the road. There was one family, mom, dad and a boy, and in the other car there was a man. Or at least it belonged to the man. He was gonna take the boy away from the family, and it would kinda ruin the boy's life. It was actually really scary. The helpless boy, probably around 7-8 years, said while standing outside the car "Mom, this realm is noisy". It took me some seconds to realize what he had just said and then he said "that is not the sound of wind" and he explained how he could constantly hear the sound of another person blowing air. I started imagining how it would be like if an internal, scary sound of something else blowing air was in my head forever and at the same time being taken away. Suddenly I was conscious, in sleep paralysis, and those thoughts kept on coming, and I didn't manage to do anything about it. At the same time I felt some sort of pressure or cramp-like thing on the right side of my chest, to the left of my right shoulder. Then all of my fingers on both hands started shaking up and down, kind of like they do when you're typing on the keyboard, uncontrollably in an insane way. I managed to get loose after some seconds, but it was really scary and I kept myself awake the rest of the night, reading Donald Duck. After a couple of minutes I felt that I got a cold, and I'm staying home today because of that. Dang.

LOTR dream + SP dream and dad and what?

Once again I was playing a Lord of the rings game, this time it was Battle for Middle Earth II. I have no distant idea why I keep having these dreams. Anyway, I was playing versus a Mordor enemy, probably in hard mode, and I was just doing decently, I was building my own army quite passively, not desperately. Later, a big part of my castle was pretty much covered with Gondor soldiers, but Mordor was really strong and destroyed everything in their way up to my castle. They were also very many times bigger than my army. Woo! So then, as usual, a transition came, and I wasn't dreaming about the game anymore, but I was myself inside the castle, scared to death because we were so doomed. I tried to find hundreds of excuses not to fight, but I think it was my dad who was in charge, and decided that everyone had to fight. I remember looking for places to hide, and I even thought of hiding under my bed mattress the whole war, but didn't do it. Eventually, I was standing along with many others in the back of the castle on a balcony sort of, the farthest away from the enemy I could get. I noticed I didn't have any thing to fight with either, but this problem usually gets solved during all of these LOTR dreams. Other than nervous thinking, nothing happened until the next part of the dream. Now I had a lot more confidence, and I was riding a horse inside the castle and slaying orcs with my sword, just like in the game Mount&Blade. That was EASY. I cleared the area, and scouted for more and it really went my way. I remember riding further down the street, and I met someone I knew, maybe it was my dad, or maybe a friend, I don't remember, but the point was that I was doing my job. I saw more orc-like people come into the area, but discovered that they were people of our own that had dressed like orcs, several of them in fact, like some attempt to gain advantage. I think that's all I can remember.

In the next dream I remember, I had sleep paralysis. I'm pretty sure it was just in the dream. Anyway, again my dad was there, but he was very unlike my dad and I don't know why it was him. He explained to me some techniques I could use to navigate the movements during the hover in SP. If I folded my hands and held them over my chest, I would tilt one direction, and if I folded them and held them over my abdomen I would tilt the other way. (He used the norwegian word for it, "buk", which I wasn't sure where was. He explained to me that it is just below my stomach, however it seems to be exactly where the stomach is now that I use the internet. I can't remember anymore from that.

The next or previous dream was on a stage nearby. I was playing drums with a band and many people were watching. Things weren't going exactly as planned, and the first thing I noticed after a lot of retries was that the drums made really stupid sounds, as if loosened completely. Most of us took it with humor, and the dream transitioned a bit more. Then I was using feathers instead of drumsticks and they had NO effect. I was hitting the hi-hat and snare and no sound was made. It was so stupid to sit there having no effect that I eventually didn't care what I played, no sound came anyway. As it went on a little bit more, one of the awesome music teachers from one year ago stepped forward and cancelled the whole thing, saying "NO. Just stop playing." or something.


I'll write down a dream I had several nights ago.
Me and my 2 best friends (a guy and a girl that is) were together by the big local water in this town. We were on the other side of the water, the opposite side of where the "beach" is. For some unknown and appropriate reason that doesn't make sense, we were gonna take a bath.. naked. I do NOT wish to do that, it's just my dreams that make up weird scenarios. So it was a bit weird in the dream being naked and all, and I did not see the two others naked, I just know they were. So nothing happened until we were by the road next to the water, yes yes fully dressed as if nothing had happened. We decided to take a walk, but to make it all more interesting, we decided to tie some of my body parts together with a rope or something, just for the laugh, and it made sense in the dream, I dunno why..! So we walked on and the dream forgot about the rope thing, and soon we were by a school (The school where I went when I was a little kid, about 10 years ago). But something was wrong, like a glitch in a dream with the girl. So I put her in spectator mode and then let her join the game again (just that it wasn't a game). That usually solves problems, kind of like restarting a machine. Then I was suddenly sliding down some slide and I couldn't stop laughing. The next part of the dream was very unclear but it changed, and I can't remember anything from it really.

Tsunami + random kids singing at door

This dream too seemed to work in a mixture between my conscious imagination and a typical dream. I was in a city, something like New York, and a tsunami was gonna rush over the whole world or.. over New York. What I mean by conscious imagination is that I can remember imagining a wave engulf all the high buildings and skyscrapers, in fact the buildings all exploded and shattered as the wave hit them, and it faded into a dream where I didn't imagine it consciously anymore and it took control itself, to put it that way. I was thinking stuff like "my god, how can this really happen rararara" as the wave just destroyed everything in its way. Next part of the dream, I was... on the back of some car? Super unclear, but it was all about escaping of course, which I think we might have managed.

Next dream was at home, in my room, and I heard the door bell. My dad said it was someone at the door for me, and apparently it was back at before christmas. Here it happened again, the dream paused and I started thinking instead. I could see it was someone from my class who I'd never expect to give me a christmas present but that's what the dream told me. I thought that would be kinda embarassing, so instead she started singing some song, probably about my kindness or something...! But I was still thinking it up in a way, hard to describe, and I thought up another person from the class singing together with her so that it didn't seem so personal, and thereby more appropriate. I was still upstairs in a way, it was like being both places at once, because of the mixture of thinking and dreaming. Weird. So I went downstairs and it kind of started over, but this time there were lots of small kids singing instead. I told em afterwards "aaa that was good, really nice of you bla bla bla", and it happened AGAIN. I remember thinking the situation over and I planned lots of things that would be appropriate to say before I got to the door in some weird way. The dream changed them from being small kids to a bit more grown kids to smaller kids again. They were at least 14 kids or something, and was sitting outside after singing. Some of them wanted some water to drink, and I had to start counting how many kids wanted water. This was hard, so I asked if everyone wanted water, but nope, so instead I went outside in my bare socks and went past the corner of our house and turned on the outside sink or whatever it's called. That way, all the kids who wanted water could drink from that. Great!

Looooong dream + semi indifferent lucidity

Last night I had a dream and I'm almost sure it lasted an hour at least, but it might just feel like that. Don't know where to begin because I can't remember quite how it started. Anyway, the earliest thing I can recall at the moment is being inside some public place, and following my friends. I stayed a tiny bit in a room to fix something, and they went on, and I had to ask someone for the way afterwards. We were supposed to watch some concert together with loads of other people our age, or something like that, and I went outside andthen I went in another door and found seats as far as I can remember. The next thing I can remember is being outside with my friend and somehow at the same time chatting on MSN with another friend. In that conversation something funny was said and I think I can recall the feeling of being impressed at my dream for making up jokes I haven't heard and stuff WHILE being in the dream. Of course I couldn't remember what it was when I woke later up, properly. But might that be some kind of like... semi lucidity? It has happened before I think. From that point in the dream the next thing I remember is a football pitch where we played football, and it gives a deja vu or some connection to another football dream I had a longer time ago.. might be I'm mistaken and actually didn't dream all that this night, but it certainly gives me the feeling. Next thing I remember was being in a line, a bit restless, and I saw someone I know and had a quick chat. The line was either for coming into a cinema again, OR it had a connection with the next part of the dream. We went in another door as audience, and were told to find seats and sit down. It was a hot room in contrast to the winter outside, and under all the seats was a burning flame, under controlled circumstances of course. The seats had holes in them too, so yeah... finally some warmth. The room wasn't really big and it seemed to be more of a seminar where a few people would talk about something OR it was some entertainment thing. Anyway the place we were at had a lotta people in the audience and the football match and whatever was going on wherever we were.

The next thing doesn't make sense at all. The dream changed and I was in some kind of 3D game with a couple of older cool or slightly hardcore people. It was almost like being in a Mario 3D game. It was outside in some huge park I think, with a nice river, a bridge and some towers as far as I can remember. Next thing, we're flying on broomsticks and there was some kind of team play, I can't recall exactly what it was. Anyway, as we were swirling about a big tower, a witch came on her broomstick and laughed witchily and pointed at us, I THINK. At this point, still in what I call semi indifferent lucidity which means that I might be making and imagining things quite consciously but I'm still tricked to dream about them without realizing completely what's goin on, I gained slightly more lucidity. The silly witch was weird, and the dream changed to a small dream. I was on the attic in our own house, very undetailed dreamscape, and there was someone else, probably my dad or maybe someone else. I started to realize I had control and was making up this dream, so as a test I said to myself "I will stop dreaming now" or "I will wake up now" and a few seconds after I said it, it actually faded to black and I opened my eyes. Nice!
