Dreams that won't go away
14 years ago
The boundaries between dreams and reality are smaller than you think. Sometimes the dreams you've recently had stays with you, inside your head, mocks you and transforms everything you see to a reminder of what you dreamt. It's specially those freaky kind of dreams that clings to your soul like a supernatural tick. Drains you of sanity and replaces it with a neverending confusion.
I don't remember how this night's dream started, but I was floating on an air mattress in a pool in my cellar. A red haired woman jumped in the pool from nowhere and asked for a kiss. I kissed her on the forehead just so she would go away. But right after I kissed her, her forehead opened like a sea anemone and a mass of white spermatozoons flew out towards me. It caught me off guard so I jumped back and fell in the water. Gravity suddenly changed and I could swim deeper down in the pool without a hassle. As I descended deeper I could hear a cracking sound. It was huge crystals growing out of the walls. It got tighter and tighter and I was sure I was going to get crushed to death.
Deep down I saw some light and I hurried to reach it before the crystals killed me. The light source came from a hidden door. I opened it and was suddenly dragged into a small room.
The room was covered in purple drapes and there was another door in the middle, with no walls to connect it. I opened it and on the outside chimerasynx was waiting for me in a glowing hearse. I got in the passanger seat and she drove away in an insane speed. Other cars got rammed off the road and burst into flames. My task was to clean the streets of nude people. She stopped on a bridge where a group of people were standing. I got out of the hearse and started to stab a random guy with a huge bowie knife. He screamed and screamed, and I stabbed him everywhere. The stomach, up the ass, the throat, the eyes, in the end his skin melted. It was like watching cheese melt. chimerasynx tossed him over the bridge and ran away. Then someone yelled at me and I saw it was a security guard. The hearse was full of rabbits and onions, and he blamed me for stealing it all. I wanted to get an explanation from chimerasynx but she was long gone.
Following her trail I ended up in a big phone booth. Just as the security guard was about to grab me the floor opened and I fell down. It was a long, dark tunnel. I tried to balance on a log but it just got warmer and warmer, in the end it started to burn, making my legs all burnt and full of blisters.
Down on the ground I entered another room, which led me into a maze that was full of people partying. It was some sort of portal too. If you opened a book of inventions and touched the image you would get teleported to a train station full of trains that could take you there. I also met a friend of mine trying to text message with his wife, but this huge, towering guy cut his ears off with a scalpel. I took it as a hint to leave, so I touched a picture in a book and ended up on the train station.
There I was told that chimerasynx alrady had left in a floating train. She was heading for one of Nikola Tesla's secret inventions. On the train station the floating spermatozoons had also managed to catch up with me. The moles on my body was actually ovums, and all the tiny spermatozoons burrowed themselves into my moles, fertilising them. It freaked me out. Getting this alien lifeform penetrating and changing my body from within made me cringe.
A conductor saw this and told me I could just press the "eggs" out when they got big enough. So when the moles got more sphere like I pressed on the skin around them. Some blood poured out around the now transparent moles and with a "pop" this round, frog egg like thing fell out from my skin. I did this on every mole on my body, pressing out every single fertilized one. I was so busy to remove this horror that I didn't even wonder what kind of specie or creature that would have evolved out from my body. In the end my body was full of small, crater like holes. Small streams of coagulated blood made my entire body look like a part of a circus tent.
After removing the invasion from my body I woke up. But this is not the first time I dream that things grow in my body. One time I dreamt that I removed the skin and flesh on my right arm. And out from the bone in the arm molars was growing. The bone looked like a long, giant jaw. I pulled eveyr single molar, and instead of blood a black goo like substance poured out of the holes in the bone.
What is this thing about getting the body invaded? Changed? Things growing on or inside it? It surely freaks me out and the fear stays with me for days afterwards. If I see the seeds in a water melon I get goosebumps, thinking of seed growing inside of my body.
Dreams have a big impact on life, and it's not always it's the good kind of impact. Sometimes it just fills you with this special kind of fear that won't go away.

I remember once dreaming I was looking into a mirror , and I noticed there were many many holes on my lower arm , all clustered together , similar in size and similar distance apart from each other. The holes were dug into my skin sideways, like the holes in a cheesegrater. I might have told you this before but it just cannot leave my head. I have also had nightmares I have had when I was 4 or 5 and I remember them till today.
But man the details in this dream of yours are very.... interesting albeit frightening. Im not surprised it is filling you with this feeling. Especially the 'pressing eggs out' deal.
Dreams are a mystery, and we need mysteries. It feeds our imagination, that in turn makes our dreams more interesting.
Those dreams where you get stabbed or sliced or cutted with a knife/axe/machete, or you discover that your arm have deep, bloody cut aren't that horrifying. But when it comes to holes it all gets so much worse. Can it be some of our ancient fear that have stuck with us? The fear of darkness and the unknown? If you have a cut on your arm you will know that something sharp made it. But holes.. What hides in holes? Who made them? A caveman looking into the darkness of a cave he just discovered will fill him with fear, because he doesn't know what kind of dangers that may reside inside there. We humans often think worst case scenarios, and in a time when there were dangers everywhere we probably looked at the "unknown" as a possible threat.
That may be why holes in our bodies are so frightening. Not only is it unnatural and gross, it also makes us so unsure of our own bodies. And if we don't have control of our bodies then everything can happen. I'll end it here before I analyze it do death. In the end I will just say that I can empathize when it comes to the holes in your arms. Those kind of dreams stays with you and won't go away. Mental imaginary can be so much more disturbing than "real" imaginary that you see every day, even traffic accidents.
Two nights ago I had a long dream involving The Thing prequel. You have seen John Carpentere's The Thing? (Probably a very stupid question.) This October the prequel hits the theaters, and from the trailer it looks promising. In the dream I was a part of the norwegian sciencece team, and we moved the frozen alien to the sewers in the city I lived in. Down there it broke free and attacked a guy that looked like Ewan McGregor. The alien looked like a mix of the King Kong worms and a fly. It's wide, toothy mouth took the whole head of the guy in it's mouth. Then it dissolved the head and replaced it with a clone head of it's own, which would grow down in the body and replace the human cells with 'the Thing' cells. The other scientist was a woman and she got covered in white ooze that got absorbed into her body. By now it was two infected/replaced people, and the woman was busy looking at a monitor to figure out how humans were running and where they would hide in dangerous situations. She did this so it would be easier to find and infect more humans.
There was also a lot going on at a University and on a train. The dream shifted somehow between the University, train and sewers, but all locations was horrible and it's been a very long time since I have felt so uncomfortable and uneasy in my dreams. The fear I felt was so horrible, I'll bet my blood pressure was like a steam locomotive going full speed ahead.
I guess it's two kind of situations in my dreams that really messes with my head; things growing inside of me/out of my body and things taking over other humans and they're chasing me, just like The Thing. Hmm... I see a pattern here. Things infecting others, taking over bodies, things growing inside or on bodies. I wonder what it all could mean.
Maybe these dreams are some kind of training? At least I will be ready if Freddy Krueger tries his tricks on me. :D
Such imagery like this is insane; it is just simply insane at what imagery dreams can force upon you.
I have had some very disturbing dreams lately of being controlled by huge creatures and being slowly crushed to death only to be revived and put through the same bizarre tortures over and over again. There have also been mirrors in my dreams lately; every time I look into them my vision is very distorted, though also when I look into them I am instantly aware that I am dreaming and my mind starts to take over, making the image much more clear.
As for things growing inside of you in dreams; I have had many many dreams where I inject centipedes into my arms and watch them writhe around under the surface. However when I do this it makes me stronger.
The body being taken over frightens me more than anything in dreams. I have had more dreams about the 'brain jacker' parasites; I am sure you remember those, they have become much more intense and frightening than the first.
I need to flip through my dream journal and catch you up on the rest of my dreams sometime soon. I have just been so antisocial lately and that makes me feel horrible, but everyone needs a break now and then.
Those Brain Jackers must be what nightmares are made of, literally. Almost like Being John Malcovich, just with brain parasites and more madness included.
I find it very bizarre that things happening in dreams can have a much bigger impact on your mind than things you experience in the "wake" world. It also strengthen my suspicion that the dreamworld is just as real as this, but we haven't found a way to master the physical laws there, so we are just able to see a glimpse of it through our dreams. And because our brains aren't "tuned in" on the right channel, our time in the dreamworld is mostly just a mess of differenct chapters getting stuck in each other.
We should melt our brains together one time and harvest the wicked things they would give birth to.
If the stuff growing inside you is a recurring theme in dreams over time, perhaps for nothing else but peace of mind you should get a thorough check-up from a doctor, to put your mind at ease.
My heart goes out to you, my friend - I totally grok how horribly unsettling what you are experiencing is for you.
My doctor have big, juicy fists and I can't wait to get my prostate checked. It will be like getting savaged by a horse. The medication may add more stress to the dreams, but for me they have always been a constant fight.
This kind of dreams are so "ordinary" for me that I now look at them as just dreams and not nightmares. I can't remember the last time I had a real nightmare, maybe because I always have nightmares? At least in my dreams I can run without looking like a pirate with a peg leg. It's not easy running with a knee that mailfunction all the time.
I talked to my doctor about my sleep paralysis and he said he couldn't do anything because there are no known methods to subdue them. He gave me the number to a shrink, but do I really want another person to go deep diving into my mind? What if he opens doors that are locked for a reason?
Do you want to visit my brain? Don't eat it all up, I need some meat left so I can figure out my taxes.
I guess over time if you are exposed to such dreams, the power they hold over you will diminish, but still... perhaps you need to try and learn lucid dreaming so you can take control of them and turn them into more pleasant experiences. I think therapy can help with some things, but possibly not about sleep paralysis. Some things should be locked away for a reason, you reckon?
Your brain sounds like a strange place to be... no, no I think I might pass, but thank you for the kind offer!
I stopped having those kinds of dreams after I left Oklahoma, got away from all the crazy people and stagnating lifestyle, and started working to improve my life. Maybe it's a sign that it's time for you to make some kind of big change, I dunno.
My life have been a merry-go-round for a while, but that's about to change. Starting in a new job on monday and next year I'll probably start on a bachelor degree. Hopefully that will take away these dreams about things growing in my body and replace them with growing things that enters my body. *nudge* *nudge* Chocolatefudge.
Do you think Saddam Hussain looked cute when he was asleep? I think everyone looks cute when they sleep. Do you grunt in your sleep? I drool alot.
They sure like to clinge to the brain, almost like a hangover. :p
