Weird, fucked up, violent shit:

Dreams where my partner doesn't know me/leaves me:

I smoke too much weed to have dreams

I have weird ones too, I think some people would describe as nightmares but when I wake up I'm like "I should write that down."

Last night I drempt a major city nearby had flooded up to the top floors of skyscrapers and thousands of rats came scurrying along the ground to get out of the water. At first I thought they were frogs until I got a better look at them in some light.

Some other stuff happened I won't bore the class with, but eventually I was crawling through secret passages hidden in some cupboards where there was a reactor at the center. Except there was an even more secret passage and a path leading deeper into the house where I found this guy I was looking for and shot him. Then my wife came into the passage (I don't have a wife) and said to leave the body there we have guests so we'll have to clean up his corpse later.

Then I woke up after I arrived at our kitchen through a different cupboard.

But yeah there were multiple homicides and disasters in that dream and I felt like all I did was watch some sci-fi movie akin to Aliens or Mad Max.

I do sometimes have utterly terrifying dreams. A recent one that woke me up just randomly had some corpsified girl biting my arm and screeching. As I woke up I was sort of unable to move and I was letting it a low keening sound according to my gf.

They are incredibly scary in the moment, but once I wake up I get over it pretty quick.

Lmao, I always got the same dreams but absolutely woke up in a panic. Turns out I've had sleep apnea my whole life and it was my brain screaming for oxygen. It probably means that you're just having them as normal dreams but because your body isn't literally trying to kill itself you don't get all bent out of shape about it.

I just had a zombie outbreak dream that took place on a train but it was kinda chill because I wasn't actually present, it was like watching a movie but in immersive 3D.

but I've also had some incredibly terrifying and visceral dreams where I was trying to survive a mass shooting, those ones fucked me up bad. that and the one where I was trapped in a hedge maze with a bear. fuck that

most of the time yeah.. but every once in a great while a dream will actually fuck me up for a little bit after i wake up

Consider journaling about them. It might give you some insight that would be hard to get otherwise!

Yeah same, they can be incredibly complex as well
