I'm convinced that your dreams have a big impact on your mood for the day, particularly when you don't actively remember them. All this waking up on the wrong side of the bed stuff is just the remnants of some shitty dream lingering in your brain.

What know you of dreams, you're just an overpriced bath.

Pretty much, but with colourful '70s fashion around the edges.

Meh.

Crazy dream last night.

The dream starts and I am walking towards a modern looking building, everything is very white and clinical. There are other people walking in with me who I recognize as work mates (some from real life, others not), we all scan in through the front door, head up some stairs and into a main hall.

The hall is triangular in shape, raised above the longest wall is a gantry and opposite a windowed booth, like a commentary box. The room is totally white other than a light grey floor and dark grey railings along the gantry. Set up in the middle are rows of collapsible tables, I get ushered towards my table and told the people around it are my team.

On the table are some papers, pens and a few bowls of mostly eaten sweets. I help myself to the last sweet "Nice one you lost us 2 points" shreiks one of my teams mates "what?" I reply. As I respond an announcement comes across the tannoy "welcome your quiz master". A guy climbs into the booth, "I am your quiz master, please fill out the papers, we will start shortly". It is at this point I realise I am in some form of Logan's Run, where the stipulation for living is the ability to score highly on wacky pub quizzes.

"2 points, you lost us 2 points, read question 1" shrieks this woman and roughly hands me the quiz sheet.
Q1. Share, gobble or leave the sweets for 1 point. Reads the quiz sheet.

"That would only be 1 point anyway" I respond, plus we shared them so we got the point.
She responds by saying "No 2 points, you gobbled them and didn't leave them".
I let it slide and take a look at the quiz sheet, there is a picture round and word game. The word game consists of a word as a clue then the answer with a few letters revealed, for example...

Clue: Car
Answer: _ _ R _ = FORD

One of the answers this woman had filled out was as follows...

Clue: Cheese
Answer _ _ _ _ S _ = Cheese
I start laughing at her. She responds badly, bringing up the 2 points again "Yeah well at least I didn't cost us 2 points, next you will be eating the sherbet!". I look down and there is a half clam shell full of pink sherbet, quick as a flash she goes to throw it in my eyes, I deflect it.
Two guards come over, one dressed as a hot dog, the other, a playing card. They grab my arms and...

I wake up.

been having nightmares recently that my daughter can clumb out of her cot and hurt herself

also one where I was painting a train with two guys and got cornered by the police. Managed to jump ontop of the train and crawl away from the scene. Then legged it, made it through the hole in the fence and into the streets. The helicopter came but i managed to persuade some group of people to let me into their building where i hid till the coast was clear. All ok in the end but pretty heart pounding stuff throughout. Meh.

@live That sounds utterly mental. I don't remember any trippy type dreams like that.

Recently I've been having dreams about being attacked by dogs. One of the worst was when a fairly small but vicious dog clamped onto my hand and started tearing away at it.

I was trying to scream for help but nothing was coming out and I couldn't shake it off. Eventually I woke up with a bit of a shout and discovered I'd been sleeping with my hand in an odd position and it was all pins and needles.

There must be an easier way of your body telling you to roll over.

Strangest dream I had was a few years ago, before I was married, and I have no kids, but every thing in the dream felt perfectly normal at the time.

I was living in a cottage in an isolated cottage by the coast with my two children. My wife had just died (i never met her in my dream but I was aware that she had existed before) so I hired a nanny to help look after the children.

Everything was fine for a while until the nanny tried it on with me and I rejected her (i was still upset about my non existant dead wife). Strange things started happening around the house. I can only remember one of the that happened toward the end of the dream but it was stuff like lights coming on and of, things being moved with no explanation, general poltergeist type activity.

The thing I remember from the end was I had just told her that I was going to have to let her go and that she was welcome to work out her months notice if she wanted, or was free to leave earlier if she wanted. She took it really well and went to make dinner for the family. I remember that there was a really bad storm going on, with thunder and lightening happening. She brought the food back through and we started eating. After a few mouthfuls I noticed a couple of maggots in my food, then a few more, then the whole plated was full of maggots, ants and little beatles and was overflowing onto the floor and our feet, the kids were screaming and panicking, I got up and hearded them out of the house, noticing the nanny had just left the room unfazed, like nothing had happened.

I got the kids out of the house and went back inside to confront her. I found her in the kitchen putting on a yellow rain coat with the hood up. She didn't acknowledge me and just walked out into the night and the storm. She got about 50 meters away and stopped and turned round and looked at me. It was too dark for me to see her properly, but at that moment a flash of lightening lit up the sky and illuminated her, all I could see under the hood was a white skull, then I woke up.

iv had weird strange dreams ever since quitting canabis around 15 week ago.
some times there just weird.....being stuck with a load of folks i dont know who all act cocky and threatining, not being able to get home, not knowing were i am, being offerd a lift by a steven hawkins a like on his mobility scooter who then procedes to do laps round me.

some times there just scary, my gf showing off my baby over the bridge (round corner from our house) and her friend says "i cant see her tip the pram up a bit", gf does so and baby slips out towards the train tracks underneath! 

iv always had sleep problems but never really dreams i can remember.

oh ......had a dream when i were about 9 or something were i were batman, and after the usual fighting crime stuff i needed to go pee......i couldnt get my latex costume off and pissed myself but woke up on the edge of my bed dick in hand pissing on the floor!

The worst dream was getting higher and higher and feeling danger. Took about 8 years to get to the 'top' before in the dream I looked down. It was a lad I was really close to. I'd banged his bird.

SHit that. Proper felt like I was gonna die in them dreams and I was almost lucid through them all cept I had no control. Hypnagagia kidda.
