The point is to post about dreams, which I do. Leave the thread if you don't fucking like it and stop being such a prick.

I would humbly suggest that if you want to record your dreams, do it in private.
Or take them to a forum where people are interested in the same mystical shit that you are.

Bumping your own thread is sad. If no one has posted, let it die gracefully.

[EveMazing]

Other people have been posting too and maybe if you weren't such an ass about it, more people would be.

I'm flattered that you think I have that much influence here.

I have every right to post here as I please and I will do just that.

In other news... When I took a nap yesterday I had a nightmare. It was really weird. There were a buncha random people in my house and this girl had a snake and she handed it to me and it was like a little python and it was cool. But then I realized I was also holding my favorite pet rat Thor in my hand and then the snake saw him and tensed up around my neck. I'd be damned if I was going to let anything hurt Thor so I grabbed the snake behind the head and it's mouth opened all wide and I saw it's scary fangs. I had my friend take Thor as far away as possible as I tried to get rid of the snake but somehow it got away from me and tried to attack me. I had to call animal control and I was crying a lot.

"Seeing a snake or be bitten by one in your dream means hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes."

"Seeing fangs in your dream indicates that you have said some words that have been hurtful to others."
^ lol that's funny.

Yeah Sweeney doesn't have that much influence because no one really cares about what a troll posts. You can read more about how Sweeney is a classic example of a troll at our source for trolls via site rules.

The definitive guide to trolls

Trolling is actually a violation of site rule 5.4 however please refer to section 5.4.2 in the Neocodex Rules Long Version, it is going to be recommended that you simply ignore the user rather than posting in response which encourages him.

It's deeply odd that you can post a link to a thread containing a description of various "types of troll", when none of them apply to me.
Deeply, deeply odd.

[Yung]

A classic troll tries to make us believe that he is a skeptic. He is divisive and argumentative with need-to-be-right attitude, "searching for the truth", flaming discussion, and sometimes insulting people or provoking people to insult him.

Glad you feel that way.

You actually don't have the right to post as you please.
Nothing is stopping you posting in this thread, on this topic, of course. That much is abundantly clear.

But likewise, nothing is stopping me from letting you know how ridiculous I think it is

Glad you feel that way.

Good. So everyone who is skeptical of anything ever is a troll?
Brilliant.

[ShadowLink64]

I, for one, am skeptical of this definition of a troll. trlololol

I do think the reactions in here were a little uncalled for though. The considerate thing to do if one thinks that a topic is ridiculous is just to ignore it. But that's what I would do.

We should perhaps keep this topic on topic, eh?

I remember when double posting to bump your own topic earned you a warn. Less shit kept cropping up on the "active threads" list back then.
Besides, ignoring things is what has allowed this thread to be endlessly revived for months. At least now it contains a vaguely interesting discussion.

[Yung]

I wouldn't go so far as to say a conversation pertaining to whether or not you are a troll is vaguely interesting conversation but hey... whatever floats you boat.

Well, that's an unusual perspective, since you were the first person to bring that up.
Seems to me like you're trying to backpedal on your involvement because it didn't garner the kind of response you were hoping for.

[Nymh]

Wow a lot has happened here since I stopped paying attention

I like posting about my dreams but mostly because I just like to read what I type. I don't remember my own dreams nearly enough to post regularly, and I am honestly not at all interested in most other people's dreams (of course those that I would be interested in reading don't post them here).

I love the turn its taken.

Alright I barely have nightmares and I just had one last night. It's weird; whenever I watch Courage the Cowardly Dog, I tend to have nightmares. It's happened two nights in a row. I mean the nightmares don't relate to Courage at all, they're just ordinary nightmares. I still don't wake up breathing heavily or anything (is that what you're supposed to do with nightmares?) Anyways, I like them.


The dream (kind of long but interesting):

Spoiler

It started out in my history class with a bunch of my friends. All of a sudden, we were wearing heavy clothes or blankets which made moving very hard. People started dying in the back of the class by a few hooded people. My best friend and I tried our hardest to get out of the class and when we did the area transformed into my aunt/uncle's and cousin's house (Who live 30 minutes away).

I ran downstairs and found a little girl who I seemed to know and we went outside, frantically trying to find a hiding place. She hid by the front door (what a dumbass... little girls these days) and I went around to the back yard. I saw my cousin, a 17 year old girl with blonde curly hair, hiding beneath a ramp (which was part of a playground outside a restaurant I went to with them about 30 minutes away from their house... I went there to mess with the little kids. lol). I went to her hiding spot, carrying a pillow for some reason, and moved the pillow near the entry so we would be more concealed. We waited for a while and my cousin suddenly screamed and quickly got out of the hiding spot. Me not knowing what went on, I backed out of the spot quickly and followed after my cousin. She was screaming and kept looking back. I didn't as I felt the person almost breathing on my neck.

My cousin and I ran out to the front of the house and we saw many people being murdered all over the place. I told her we should run away from the house and we made it across the street. A bunch of kids from my school showed up and acted as if nothing was scaring them. One girl in my school was my cousin's friend (in the dream) and knew Taekwondo. She started following me around, talking about how I was in first place with 45 points. This is when it turned into almost a game, with leaderboards and rankings. I saw a list with all the names and my name in first place with 45 points. I called over my cousin who also knew Taekwondo. (She has friends that take it with her and I don't know why my mind picked a girl my cousin has never seen in her life to be her best friend and know Taekwondo with) My cousin served as a meat shield until a ginger who I knew from my Health class started following me too. I explained how we were friends but he seemed possessed and just talked about how I was in first place and nobody else was. (I like how I killed nobody and was in first place.)

The terrain switch into a dark storing garage or something. There were around 5 people left or so, including Taekwondo girl. The girl walked towards me and cornered me into a wall, I kept trying to reason with her that this was stupid. I asked some old lady if this was a kill or be killed situation and that the last one standing would win; she said yes.

All of a sudden, a commercial or something popped up and described how to kill someone with a banana. After the commercial was over, I had a banana in my hand and I hit her in the parts I knew would hurt most. She fell and turned into a microwavable dinner. I found some rules or something that informed me to press the number 1 to send my food up for more points. I did this and a short version (around my height, 5'6") of a 6'4" guy in my Life Nutrition class I never really talked to walked up to me. I tried to find something to killed him with, like a weapon and I found some long (maybe 2 feet long) nails. I repeatedly stabbed him until he died, seeing all the holes I produced. The guy's friend then walked up and said something about me killing his friend. He found a nail too but I charged up to him and stabbed him many, many times. He remarked that "he can't do anything with me stabbing him" and the old lady nodded. I finally killed the guy and was happy I finally won.

The dream fast-forwarded maybe 5 years into the future (where I was 21 and the world seemed post-apocalypse) I was in a kitchen with some old people I've never seen before (not sure what this is about) and I walked out the door into my dad's house. (My mother and father are divorced and they live 30 minutes away. The house is pretty big and a one story house.) My step brother was in the living room with friends and they were talking about going to college. One guy walked out the door.

I then transferred into my math class (The 5th and final period) and saw almost everyone there. A news report took place of the situation for a few seconds, describing how there was a serial killer at my high school. I wasn't very scared because I figured I would tell them that I was forced to kill everyone. I expected everyone to be proud of me getting first place in the game, but no one was. I asked an asian friend of mine that was talking about the game a lot to see if he was in the game. He said he wasn't and I it seemed all to real the game was a real killing game. I explained how whoever I killed might actually be dead and everyone gasped.

The dream then shifted to me watching a scary movie with a friend. There was a hospital with many people wearing halloween masks. A group of 3, one being a doctor, walked up to an open door. There was a tan-colored substance which looked like intestines was all across the floor. The doctor said not to be worried. There was a bucket by the door. (I think this was supposed to be like Saw and I recognized that.) The point of view went rapidly down the halls of the hospital until it got to the front and I saw many other people wearing masks (at this point I don't think I was still watching a movie). There was one person the stood out, wearing unique mask, and he began to laugh maniacally. The point of view then faded out and I woke up.

The references I can see in the dream are The Hunger Games (me killing everyone to be last), Halloween (the guy with the mask), Saw (the hospital), and many other things that had happened in my life.

What I think is weird, which I noticed while writing this, is the same guy with the mask that I had in a nightmare the night before last (watched Courage before that as well), appeared at the end of this dream. Talk about a Nightmare On Elm Street reference...

lol Sorry, I read your posts and I bet you were satisfied when the thread had finally died. I understand why you didn't want her to bump her thread. Nightmares are just rare for me and I wanted to see what she got out of it.

I wanted to see what she got out of it.

I can't imagine why... it's all balderdash anyhow.

Does anyone ever have really intense stress dreams? I rarely remember my dreams, and usually when I do they're very unpleasant.

I have two stress dreams that are rather frequent for me. One is me either running from or (less frequently) running to something. The entire dream I just know I have to keep running and I can't stop. What I'm running from/to will change.

The other is a dream that my teeth are falling out. It sounds ridiculous to talk about when I'm awake, but it the dream it feels 1. very real and 2. very upsetting. In the dream I actually have to stand over a bathroom sink or something similar and just spit out my teeth as they fall out. Gross, I know. It's a relief when I wake up and all my teeth are still intact.

You're definitely right. I could get the same explanation from a dog that I will here, but let's see what happens.

I do! Not to mention that my senses all work in them! Especially smell and taste. It's a bit hard to figure out facial expressions though, but voice tone usually helps with this.


And oh neat~ A lot of my dreams have things about teeth in them as well. The first one I had about this was back in early 2009, where I was in some sort of post office looking for my father. A while after looking, I went to ask the lady at the counter if she had seen him yet that day. Suddenly I fell to my knees and starting coughing up a lot of blood and teeth. Lots of blood and teeth. My nose started bleeding too for some reason! Once it all calmed down a little bit, I looked up and saw my dad and was really relieved! He'll be able to help me! So I tried calling out his name a couple of times, but he was busy talking to someone on his phone so I guess he couldn't hear me. Coughed up some more blood and teeth then I guess blacked out from all the blood loss, then woke up.

I could still taste blood in my mouth and could feel a slight bit of warmth from where my nose was bleeding in the dream ^^

Another dream I had more recently was where I was on a train (these appear a lot in my dreams as well! Same with planes, but this is getting a little off track ) and my lower canine teeth started twisting and eventually came out! It was so damn painful ;_; and felt really weird not having them in there when I spoke etc!

Yes! I my teeth falling out dreams I can always taste a bit of blood in my mouth and usually my gums feel tender too, just like when you actually lose one of your teeth.
