Irrational dreams ?

The child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang always scared me as a kid. Most kids have a boogey man that they are terrified of, mine took the child catchers form. If it was dark in the hallway and I needed to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I imagined him standing at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the bathroom door as I opened it. Freaked me out to no end. His pale face, and jet black hair and weird nose, and the way he moved wasn't natural. I've had pretty bad nightmares about him stalking me, usually I can brush aside any bad dreams, but not ones with him in it. I still think about it from time to time, I mean if someone broke into my house in the middle of the night, even if it was a 6ft5 20 stone guy I would confront him, but if it was the child catcher I'd lock myself in my room. lol
Just look at him, pure evil I tells ye!

Whats wrong with David Tennants? Crazy guy with a fashion I like..... Now I shall go look at pictures of Liv Tyler Hooray, To dream but not get, I wont get her, Nor Will I get Dr Who's Coatmrdbristol said:If it seemed like an insult, then i formally apologise.
But you did mention about dreaming about david tennant
i've had dreams about ET and all sorts. constantly waking up in the dream and thinking there are different people in the room with me at different times - i'd have a conversation with them and fall back to sleep again (in the dream) and then wake up again (in the dream) and there'd be someone else there... this went on for about maybe 20 people i know... some people a few times.
here's a really long one which i wrote down once:
I was walking home and some kid I used to work with, who was a bit of a sausage, and he decides to shout at these scallies. They inevitably start to chase us. We ran for ages and then found some skates and started skating away from them. I phoned my friend rob so he could open the front door and I could just skate in, shut the door, and they wouldn't know where I’d gone.
Anyways, the sausage kid gets inside but for some reason I’m behind him and miss my chance. So I skate round for ages and eventually get caught by them. They take me to this old market and they take my stuff, phone, money, my BIKE etc... and then the guy sells it straight away - but he doesn't want much from it - he just wants crisps and "pop". They go off and leave me so I search this old market trying to find phone shops and stuff so I can ask if I can get my phone back. I don't have any luck so I figure I have to go looking for them.
I end up at this castle and nobody seems to know anything about it. I decide to investigate further and find myself in their (the scallies) room right at the top of the castle, down a corridor flanked by tables. I talk to this girl nearby who comes with me and just makes herself a little bed under a table in the room, with duvets, and goes to sleep. I notice that there's a big bed - they OBVIOUSLY all sleep in the same bed - and there's one pillow which has metal buttons on it, like jean buttons but with stuff written on them. I figure the buttons must mean something so I tell myself I’ll swap them round with normal buttons, so i do.
Then I hear them coming back so I go out into the hallway and hide in the corner under one of the tables. The scallies go passed, who are now 4 foot tall pixie people, and I get out of there. I get onto a train and start off, it's really complicated getting out, I’ve got to use those train turny things where the train goes on and it spins round. I give up with the train and get in a like a coal bucket - similar to the things from Indiana Jones but doesn't run on a rail, it just runs on the floor instead. So I go hurtling down this massive hill with a police woman?! She’s going too fast and I’m telling her to slow down but she doesn't and we end up going too fast round a corner and whacking into the side of this fence. We carry on fine and she says something like "if this was real we wouldn't have survived that"
I get out and I’m by the very bottom of the castle walls and Oli and Phill (my friends) are there and they're found a massive hole in the side of the castle and I find my stuff... not the stuff that I was stolen from me, just generally ALL my stuff. I get some stuff out but the walls start closing in, massive brick by massive brick, we get out... just. Then someone fixes it so a book shelf keeps the hole open and I can get at everything and remove it from the, now very small, cave type thing. But how do I get it all home?
Then this old woman comes up to me and tells me that she'll take it back on her barge - I don't think it'll fit, but she insists. It seems to make sense to me; the canal runs right through my home town of Trowbridge (although the dream started out in Cardiff). So all the stuff goes in the barge and I’m swimming along side it for some reason and my cat is swimming with me?! I decide to run up another barge, over the roof and jump back in the water and I feel something hard hit my knee as i hit the water and I immediately look round for the cat. Panicking, unable to find him, I start calling everyone to look for him, then he just comes swimming past me really fast, like running speed, but smoothly as if he was gliding, and then I wake up.

She woke me up , but aparently the same thing happened again within 30 minutes.
All i remember is two ghosts attacking me.
OK, everyone has dreams , but these ghosts were the " scooby doo " type ghosts ( flowing blanket and eye slits ) but they were grey, i can still see them now.
FFS i'm 39 and this hasn't happen before.
What do your dreams ( the ones that wake you up ) contain ?
It didn't wake my up - a dream never has woken me up screaming lol.
But I had one a few nights ago that was pretty weird:
Some guy made me turn around a kneel down (execution style) and he shot me in the side of the head - he said something about shooting me in a certain place which is why he shot me in the side of the head.
Of course, in dreams, you don't die. I felt the bullet go in and it felt really weird.
Then ummm I think I showed my family what happened, also I looked back and saw bits of skull and blood on the floor of the garage (which is where I got shot).
lol

I'm quite jealous of you guys, I hardly ever have dreams (or remember them rather), couple of times over the last few months tho I've woken up but not been able to move, it's a very horrible feeling, first time, I felt a dog licking my face and it would'nt stop, I tried to move my body to pull it away but I could'nt, I could'nt shout, nothing, eventually I manged to think my way into moving, looked about my bed confused and went back to sleep, I don't own a dog by the way.
Secound time was a few weeks ago, I woke up and again I could'nt move my body, what I soon noticed was that my heart beat was beating about once every 3 secounds , this obivously made me panic, almost straight away my heart beat starting beating really fast and irregular, this is a very very horrible feeling when you cant even move a muscle in your body, I just keeped concentrating on my arm trying everything I could muster to get it to move, eventually after about 2 minutes (felt a hell of a lot longer) I manged to move my finger, as soon as I did that it kick started me into being able to move the rest of my body, I just got straight out of bed and paced up and down the room for a while trying to calm down, eventually I did.

Insanity said:I get that occasionally, but i used to get it a lot when i was a kid.
There's nothing worse than knowing you're awake and being face down in your pillow and not being able to do anything about it.
, I will never sleep face down again.

I remember when I was sleeping on the job at work *yes, we've all been there* while some people were watching R-point on film four (about 3 months ago).
Woke up 3 times after some random dreams.
the first was flying with a cute anime chick that looked a bit like Tohsaka Rin (from fate/stay night) but she had wings on her arms and when I looked down (from above) there was a waterfall of blood coming off them.
the second was one of those "I will not tell ANYONE EVER what that was about... EVER... even in the afterlife ever* dreams....
the last was a pole dancing ginger cat.
(yes, my second one was even weirder than a pole-dancing cat)
all of these had me waking to the random gunshots and screaming in the film (watched it again its actually pretty good) and with a heart rate that took 5 mins or so to calm before i could get back to sleep (not to mention the incredibly hard floor and the air con that made me cold).
I've had some other random dreams, but one thing i noticed is that if you read something in the dream and go back to read it again (which i've done) its not the same. And shortly after that you wake up. (though it is known that most things you read in a dream will change if you read it again).
The ones i do hate are when you're lying on your back and you'er going to sleep and it feels like somone's sucking your conciousness down into the planet's core and then you wake up like... wtf. That, and the one where you're running and you trip over and you kick the sheets off the bed trying not to fall over, and then wake up.
Gah, I HATE those two...

I have got that about 3 times ever. I always sleep on my front though (not side, front, face right in pillow
), if I ever lie on my back, that is almost guaranteed to happen. I make sure I don't and luckily i'm used to sleeping on my front. Sure is horrible if it does happen, I can break out usually after about 2 mins and force myself awake again. Haven't had any dreams I remember recently. I had one really creepy dream about ghosts when I was younger, which wierdly had a title sequence and everything
. The ghost with white blood it was, and this ghost was in a little village and the police chased it and killed it, and it's blood poured into the river which then turned white, then I ran into a crazy house and......anyhow....I have had the winning money dreams, so annoying when you wake up
