This group is definitely needed. The increasing technologisation of life precludes dreaming. The proliferation of imagery in the world seems inversly proportionate to the amount of meaning communicated by images. For those of us who don't live all the time in a literal world, this group is an oasis.

Here are some of them:

Everyone I know has transformed into Popsicle sticks. None of them will speak with, or even acknowledge me.

I'm being chased by a monster though a macabre version of my house. I find myself in the basement--full of cobwebs, where the rafters have rusty nails poking though them and there are boxes of artifacts best left forgot--cowered beneath the stairs and then...I'm awake. I'm my room, covered in sweat, panting. I go to my parents room to tell them...there are demons on the bed and where the baseboard mirror once was there's a cage where my parents are being kept and tortured.

I'm walking along the street...I'm in a car...the car is falling down a flight of stairs.......Noooooooo!

I see her at the bus station and drive past. The road is icey and I'm driving too fast...a white car wants to pass and rams me up against the guard rail...I'm going over a cliff.......every thing's slow now....I can accept what's about to happen.

It's raining out. It's been raining too long. Helicopters load passengers into FEMA coffins and whisk them away. I'm left behind on a small island in the middle of no where. There's a white house, boarded windows, broken fence posts...I'm too afraid to knock and I watch the helicopters fly off before I drown.

I wake up and turn on the light. I see myself sleeping. I wake up and use the bathroom. I wash my face; look myself in the eyes. I wake up, no one's home. I wake up, people are here. They're strange somehow. Too tall, too dark, drinking cocktails and smiling with too sharp teeth. I am not afraid. I wake up, smash the alarm. I wake up, everything is dark. I have a flashlight and I switch it on. I know that there is something in the dark. I know it's afraid of the light. I spend weeks in one room eating canned food. I know it's coming. It's always dark here. I wake up, why am I skiing? I must be asleep? There is a woman chasing me through the snow. She moves unbelievably fast considering...

I see the clouds boil, the trees move in a way I've never seen before...there's fire in the sky. Everything stops. Then cut to black.

well, i did have this dream last year. i dreamt that a close friend of mine sent me a video to my phone, when i played the video a pair of feet(w/ shoes) was seen and it started to go up to the torso to the chest when it reached the neck everything became blurry and I cant move i muscle or say a single word. All i see is the man earlier but i cant see him clearly because it was all blurry. I tried my best to wake up until I finally did. Thank God!

I have nightmares frequently. maybe twice a week. the last one i remember started out very nicely. i was living in the middle ages in a gothic cathedral with my family and boyfriend and i remember floating/jumping around the castle in a beautiful red 18th century type dress during christmas time and the light was beautiful candle like, a huge feast was being cooked up filling the whole place with the smell of christmas and happiness. i was like extremely happy until the first thought came into my head that this was just a dream and it wont last and in fact nothing would last. and as soon as i thought that the light became cooler and darker .somehow time began to speed up and age the castle and vines grew and it looked dingy and was cold and dread overcame my whole being and i started to cry sooo bad becaues i was so sad that nothing can last and i was alone and all i wanted was that moment of happiness back. then i woke up and i was pretty pissed. but happy that im young and i have a lot of time and i definteley do not want to experience that again.
i know thats life and all but for that to be taken away in just a moment was pretty hard to deal with.. NE WAAAAaaaayyyys hahaha.
whenever monsters try to get me in dreams i always kick their butts i always fight back and win its awesome.
one day i was taking a nap in my room and as soon as i fell asleep i got up but into a dream but it seemed real like my real room and time of day and everything. and as a sat there i heard an evil deep scary voice laugh like really scary HAHAhahahaha right outside my window . and i was like ohhh crap what was that and hid behind my bed so he wouldnt see me if he looked in. but he was like YOU CANT HIDE FROM ME B*T**" right behind me!! i didnt even have any time to react when he grabbedd the back of my neck and started sucking my brains throu my neck. and guess what.. I FELT it. it was excruciating and horrifying. i reached back to try to pull it off and it felt like a balloon realy squishy with teeth and slimy! it was gross but i couldnt get it off of me and i felt like i was dying and the pain was too much. at that moment of sheer terror i woke up and still felt it since it was so real and vivid i was shaken up for the rest of the day

as I wrote to someone I care about very much:

"I had a dream the other day.
and it wasn't awful. which is all wrong.
----x
"I died. Aneurysm, I think. (my brother died right after I did in a completely unrelated incident, but I don't know how) And it was like the movie "Ghost" except you could choose your own Whoopi Goldberg. I chose mom. And we needed to get my shirt that I was wearing when I died.

"This is the weird(est?) part. In this existence, the dead were decapitated then the head "cleft in twain" and half the head was stored in a box of hinged trays with the clothes worn at death.

"So we got to the box. (the other weird part is that I can't remember quite if it was in a graveyard of sorts or a morgue. but either way it was bright and cheerful, really. could have been either and both) we opened the top tray and there was my head. It was obviously old. Blackened, maybe greenish, greasy hair.

"The expression got me. It's what really made this an unfortunately typical "out of body experience." it was caught between apathy and surprise. Also, I don't think my brain(-half) was still in my skull. I kinda wanted to poke my head(-half) but I didn't. Mom closed that try and opened the next.

"My worn jeans, converse shoes and orange shirt were in there. As well as a green shirt that was not mine, and that puzzled me a bit. I pulled out my orange shirt and mom closed the tray.

"My brother's tray were next but we just skipped to his clothes and looked for a while before closing and I woke up.

"I realized immediately that it wasn't a nightmare. In fact I even slightly felt like going back and looking at myself(-half) again, but I can't. It was just so f***ing curious, really came out of left field or new zealand."

so, no. not a nightmare. sorry.
