What’s the weirdest dream you’ve ever had?

I’ll start, though mine was slightly more night terror than dream! One night last year I was dreaming that I was looking around my grandparents old house, except that there was an extra bit of house at the back, behind where the stairs were, so I went to explore it when suddenly a ghost jumped out and grabbed me by the wrists! I could physically feel something holding my wrists too, I remember physically shaking myself to wake up! Had to sleep with the door ajar for a few weeks afterwards too!

  • This might take some explaining..

    In most of my dreams there is absolutely no difference between the dream and reality.. I fall asleep and then wake myself up.. a minute in a dream is the same as a minute in the real world and quite often I'm unsure if I'm awake or asleep.. 

    The strangest dream Ive had though was when I thought id see how far I could travel from my body.. so I jumped in my car and drove aprox 6 miles away and then had the same feeling as when I wake myself up.. "I bite the back of my hand to wake myself up.." the feeling is like magnetism pulling me back..

    When I wake in my dream there is no difference at all.. same sounds, smells, colours everything's the same..

    I've totally got used to it but I do remember my first ones and it was very frightening and claustrophobic.. my dad and my middle son also have the same thing..

    Anyone else..?

  • I'd heard of people having the occasional dream within a dream, but your experience is extraordinary to me - even the most mundane of my dreams, I would never confuse for reality for a moment; they either lack clarity or are outlandish.

    And fascinating that it seems to be hereditary (I see no way that anyone could be taught to do it.).

    I've met a few lucid dreamers, which seems to be part of your experience, but I don't recall any of them ever mentioning their dreams being indistinguishable from waking. Have you ever met or heard of any others who dream like this?

  • My dreams are so real that I've taught myself not to fight or anything in them just incase I'm actually awake.. 

    A good example would be about a week ago.. now I don't really have any controll over location but I woke myself up while on a tropical island.. there was a well stocked beach hut and some benches with parasols.. so I sat down.. after about 10 minutes I got bored and went and got some paper and a pencil and sat back down.. I then spent the next few hours doodling on the paper till I got bored then woke myself up.. 

    Strange thing is.. when I sleep I never move.. I wake up exactly as I went to sleep and to be honest I hate the thought of my duvet not being like I left it when I went to sleep.. I also  feel totally refreshed and like I've had the best sleep ever..

    I was hypnotised a few years back and was told I went into a very dangerous delta sleep that he had to wake me from.. don't really know what that means as I've never researched it but either way I really do love to sleep..
