  • [do you have recurring nightmares? what happens in them?]

    i guess i can't technically call it a nightmare, since it ceased to scare me, but comparing to all other dreams that i have these are the least pleasant.

    dreams about elevators.

    when i was a kid (about 7, i think), i got stuck in an elevator. and remember, i live in Ukraine. our elevators are similar to those at the Matrix Oracle's place... so standing for an hour in the dark elevator all by myself was traumatic. i did not ride elevators for 3 years after that. i do now...

    so in my dreams the elevators either crash down, erupt in fires, go through the rooftop, or move weirdly. sometimes they don't have floor. sometimes they don't have ceiling. sometimes both.

    since i used stairs instead of an elevator (i live on 8th floor), very often in my dreams besides crazy elevators, i dream of going up the stairs, and i can't get to my floor finally... then when i stop, i realize that i am actually on 9th floor, and there are either no stairs back at all, or they are on fire, or only certain steps still remain... weird  

    like i said, i am not scared anymore, but it's interesting to analize the progression of those dreams and see what new details can be added to the general story by my tired brain.

    I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

    and talking about a tired brain... i am off to bed.

    My husband's family has some genetic shared dream about fish in the bed - cold and large flopping around... they all (6 kids) have had the dream, usually when running a fever. Personally my reoccuring bad dream (not a nightmare just disturbing) is about these crows. I'm in a situation where I'm trapped (held hostage, locked in a freight car, stranded in a car on the highway etc). A crow approaches causing me to freeze (and whether I'm alone or with anyone else) say "don't move and maybe he'll go away". The bird looks at me and then hops up to me. I'm usually sitting on the ground hugging my knees when it hops up on my knees and drinks my tears. If I'm not crying it peck my cheek and drinks blood. The dream ends. Weird. And I do like crows except in my dreams.
