There was this dream that I had nearly every week when I was 8.

So it goes like this:
I wake up in a small wooden hut, it's very dark and there is a table in the middle. First I see small black shadows forming, then a black scary looking dog forms. I jump up but he jumps at me and I fall down, he tears away at me. At my stomach, there's lots of blood and I can't do nothing. It continues like this for 20 seconds, it feels really ****ing real, well no pain at least. Then after 20 seconds I wake up shocked and sweating. A common dream I had.

I'm kind of a dream expert, so here's some info on dreams that might interest you.

Children have primitive nightmares - usually about death, these stem from evolution.

It is not known truly what dreams are for, most scientists believe they are for sorting through your brain's memories and keeping important information, that's why many dreams we have are based on events that have happened to us.

It is believed nightmares prepare us for bad things, the ones about death in particular. Being killed by wolves in a dream, for example, stems from an evolutionary trait of preparing yourself for being killed by wolves.

Also, research and testing has shown that dreaming about actions you do in real life makes you better at that action when you wake up. For example, dreaming about playing a video game will make you better at the video game when you wake up.

Also, it is possible with exercises to make yourself completely conscious during dreams, this is called "lucid dreaming". The first step of lucid dreaming is simply to remember dreams. After that, you must try and be aware you're in a dream when you're in a dream. There are many different stages of consciousness in a dream, from simply remembering them to controlling exactly what happens in them. It takes a while but with practice it is possible. While awake, you must create tests to let your mind know you truly are awake, such as counting your fingers or pinching yourself. When in a dream you must remember this and do the same tests in your dream. I'm currently at the stage of knowing I'm in a dream, it's very hard to get further but I'm getting there.

According to lucid dreamers, when completely controlling a dream you can change anything and the dream goes by in "real time" - although it's not real time, your mind thinks it is. Things like lying completely still when you wake-up will send memories of the dream flooding back.

Yeah, just ask if you want more info' on any of that.

I don't get many nightmares. Most of my dreams are seriously ****ed up. Anyway, I had a dream where i was about to plug my guitar into the amp until the wire slipped out of my hand. The amp was on so I was trying to be careful not to electrocute myself. Guess what happened.

It was pretty scary because it wasn't a slight 'zap', it was more of a BLRRZZZZTZTZTZTZZTZRZRZRZRZRZRZRTZRTZRTZRTZRTRZTTZ and my hand was all bleeding and exploding and stuff. it was horrible.

I have lucid dreaming to some extent, because I can only use it if I'm having a really bad nightmare; i.e. I need to use it. This happened when I had a repetitive nightmare for about a year where a man was following me with an axe, and he always used to wink at me.

I also sometimes have dreams where my bible next to my bed starts to melt. The room fills up with smoke and I hear this demonic laugh and 2 black eyes come out through the mist. I'm then at a restaurant with my family (it flashes to it). It's all happy and good, and when the waiter walks past me, he smiles and his eyes go black. Then my mom hands me a plate with a metal cover over it. She tells me to have a look, and when I open it there's my melted bible in there. They all laugh, but nothing else happens. I wake up. Shit that dream scares me.

Thats ****ed up

I had a nightmare a few months ago,

I was alone in a bungalow, a pretty nice one and the doorbell rang. I opened the door and there was a group of about 4 or 5 people, all dressed 1800's style, and the one at the front was a dead looking girl. You know, Pale, scabs, head hung to one side that sort of thing. Straight away, I turned, and bolted into the hall. The dead girl was standing there staring at me. I turned around again, and ran into the back garden, which was just grass with a very tall fence with a little gap underneath. I ran round the corner to get out into the street, And there was the girl again looking under the gap at the bottom, So I turned around again and ran back into the bungalow and there was a sort of Grim reaper crossed with L4D Hunter there, with a knife.

Then the same thing happened, but in a house. But That's really hazy, I can barely remember it.

Then I woke up. I rolled over and the dead girl was right there in my face.

I had a heart attack and then actually woke up.

That sounds like a generic nightmare right out of some cheesy movie.

i may sound stupid, but one of the worst dreams is that my dog died.
it may sound childish but im really bond to it.

i think i got that from i am legend where the dog dies in a very similar way.
i usually wake up wet from tears (not my fault really!) and the go to check if my dog is alright.

How old are you, Sasuke?

i am about 13 years
