I had a series of nightmares about this toilet with purple water in it that would suck you in and not let go. So you'd be arms and legs sticking out of the toilet with your butt lodged firmly in it. The only way out was to get someone strong to pull you out, which was very embarassing. And everywhere I went, I had to go to the bathroom, and whenever I did, there was the toilet. I couldn't escape it.
Yeah, it doesn't sound scary now, but it freaked me out when I was about eight, and I really had trouble going to the bathroom after waking up from it.
Bears were also a recurring theme for me. I wonder why.
One of the scariest was one time when I dreamed an alligator ate my pinky toe and woke up not being able to feel it.
Question: does anyone else have dreams that are so freaky and disturbing that you can't share them and you worry about your inner psyche?

I often have a dream where I am somehow flung into the air, but I keep going, higher and higher. I can still see the ground, and I am trying to gain control, but I can;t get it. I usually wake up. One time, though, I fell all the way to the ocean, and then sort of turned into a boat and coasted along the top of the water.

Elizabeth, know what gets rid of nightmares? Donna the Buffalo, I hear she's going to be in Salt Lake City pretty soon, maybe you should go see her, and take your daughter.
My wife was missing, and it was snowing outside. I went outside to look for her and couldn't find her. The snowplow came and tossed her cold, blue body up on the snowbank.

Skillery: Ouch!! I have also had dreams of losing my huband. It is always a feeling of cold, black emptiness. (shudder)
As for you, Hobbes, I thought you were SWEET! Ha ha. (also, it is my son who is more into them. We have been on many adventures together.)

I used to have tornado dreams. The worst was when I was driving to pick up my little girl from my mom's house, and a tornado got there before I did. I woke up shuddering and sobbing from that one.

quote:...driving but suddenly realize you're in the back seat
I dream that I'm driving my dad's pickup from the camper shell with my legs extended through the truck's rear window, my toes just barely able to touch the steering wheel; also driving my motorhome from the dining table. Cool dreams! Always going downhill at breakneck speed. Can't figure out whose feet are working the gas and brakes though.
Last night I dreamed that I was driving a go-cart made of chicken wire.

I have had dreams something like that, but I always inevitably shift perspectives until I'm in the front seat and don't even notice what's happened except that it's easier.
Sometimes it works the other way, though...in fact, sometimes I shift all the way out of the car and it becomes like a video game.
