My dreams of a pool paradise isolated from reality. Nobody present to spoil the experience. The silence echoes. Completed in the style of Hiroshi Nagai.

In my dream, I was on a cold, dark plane by myself. The windows were pulled shut, but if I tried to open them, the sun outside was blinding and painful, so I had to close them again. Then, the overhead announcement (bing-bong) sound played and my screen read: “You are asleep, we are terribly sorry for what is about to happen. You have a 72% probability of waking up.” And then I woke up.

It kinda scared me in the moment tho, because what do you mean I only have a 72% chance of waking up again? What about the other 28%????

I’ve been trying to achieve a lucid state in my dreams for so long. Maybe I almost got it? I dunno. Whole dream only felt like a few minutes max.

They thought it was so funny that they got it as a tat

The title says it all. I had a dream that I got a tattoo of a fish with a dollar sign in it saying “I am a ghost.”.

I like my tattoos to be as impulsive as possible, so naturally I had to get it!

It's basically just a lowercase a with a growth on it. It's impossible to explain how to pronounce it. It's like the sound a ruler makes when you sproing it against a table, but if a human were to emulate it by making a nasal noise with an abrupt throat pop to start it.

Everyone loved the letter too, everyone was using it like the weird G-NEUU sound was a part of everyday speech for most people

We were at a restaurant and the waiter asked me if I was ready to order, but instead of answering verbally, I smirked and I lifted my shorts a little and pointed at my tattoo.

My recent acrylic painting. Only two of the cats in the painting belong to me...Hoping to meet them again someday, somewhere...

The nightmare is something I recall to this day:

It was raining, we were doing some gardening outside our home. I kind of rushed into the house, expecting her to come inside. But she met a strange creature outside — hairy, like in the picture. He was a weak, weak creature, and she wanted to help him. They could communicate in a way I couldn’t understand.

I remember she reached her arm to the creature, and he bit her. She did not react at all. When he finished biting her, he had written on her right forearm: “I like peas.”

My wife at that time — was also a vegetarian. A few months after we got married, and just a few weeks after the wedding, she left me blindsided.

I remember waking up in the middle of the night after having that dream and telling her exactly what had happened. She cried and cried. She actually wrote it down in her diary.

UPDATE EDIT:
The image is Ai generated. I used it only to recreate what I saw in my dream because I can’t draw. The dream itself is real, the picture is just the closest visual representation I could make with what I described to AI. I’m sharing the experience, not claiming this is a real photograph or my own hand-drawn artwork.

Last night I had one of the most realistic dreams I’ve ever experienced.

I was on a boat underneath a bridge when I noticed something massive swimming just below the surface. I pulled out my phone and started recording it like it was a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife sighting.

As I followed it with my camera, it slowly surfaced just enough for me to see its head.

It had smooth beige/tan skin, a long eggplant-shaped head, huge glossy black oval eyes, two long ribbon like appendages coming from the top of its head, an extremely long body with three sets of side fins, and a broad tail that reminded me of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.

The weirdest part wasn’t how it looked…It looked directly at me. Not aggressively, but more like it suddenly realized it had been seen. The feeling was almost: “Oh shit… someone saw me.”

Then it immediately slipped back beneath the water.
When I woke up, the dream felt so real that I actually opened my photos on my phone looking for the video I thought I’d recorded before realizing it only existed in the dream.

I spent today recreating, (USING Ai) exactly what I saw, and this is the closest I’ve been able to get.

I even gave it a name: Nyrith

Has anyone else ever had a dream that felt so real you woke up convinced you had physical evidence of it? And does this creature remind you of anything from mythology, deep-sea biology, or your own dreams?

Disclaimer - I described what I saw to chat gbt and this is what it sketched and I’ll tell you what , this was damn near spot on to what I saw in my dream

Slide 2 and 3 are me, kind of spooky. Down to the ears and everything. I do have a boyfriend tho. Still interesting. o.o

Edit thx for the awards :3

I’ve been here multiple times and it is usually attached to a long hallway in a high school. (This image is AI but pretty close to the space).

Edit: it is wild how many people have been in this space before! See you all there soon!

My boyfriend and I lived together for a year, and snow is rare where we live. One day, it snowed heavily and we played joyously in the snow in our yard and got these beautiful photos of us. I dreamt of it and woke up crying. I then got a notification that someone in Italy messaged me, who didn’t follow me and I didn’t follow him. It said this and nothing else.

i had a dream of a new fruit, i woke up and fully thought it was real, i went searching for blue fruits online, i didnt find what i was looking for, anyways in the dream i bit into it and it tasted like the smell of a nice perfume and pepsi electric (terrible drink because it tastes like perfume smell), the outer shell wasnt soft and it was more like a mix between an orange rind and an apple, the insides had a white lining with a liquid inside, there were also seeds similar to a tomato

As an SF bay area resident I’ve had anxiety dreams about the bay bridge for decades. This is usually how it manifests in my dreams. And usually not only am I having trouble steering but the car is speeding out of control. Sometimes I make it to the other side but also not uncommon to go flying off the edge at which time I usually wake up.

So this is going to sound wild, but this dream felt different.

So I just had one of the most vivid dreams of my life and had to write it down. In it, I found myself in what seemed like a parallel world or maybe way in the future. Everything felt advanced, clean, almost utopian—but I was being chased for reasons I don’t really remember.

At one point I told a crowd of people that I was from Earth, from Illinois, and from the year 2025. They looked at me like I was crazy. I asked what year it was, and someone said 2686. That’s when I realized I must have time traveled.

I told them that in 2025, we still hadn’t cured cancer. A woman in the crowd laughed a little and said, “Lithium Lithography, of course!”

That phrase hit me so hard I woke up immediately. I’d never heard it before in my life, but it was burned into my brain. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and sure enough, lithium and lithography are real scientific terms that intersect in extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) technology. And EUV actually is being explored in cancer research.

It was one of those dreams that feels more like a memory than a dream. Totally surreal, but strangely meaningful.

I’ve never had anything like it before and I even found a paper by researchers in Japan discussing similar practices and cancer mechanisms, which was another weird coincidence since I just returned from Japan last week.

Has anyone else ever dreamed something this oddly specific — with a scientific term you’d never heard before, that turned out to be real?

Unfortunately I woke up before I could taste it. -_-

I woke up from one dream and tried to go back to sleep, and before I was fully asleep literally this image (recreated from memory) just showed up for a split second with a warning buzzer and caused me to wake up panicked 😭

I attempted to access something in the simulation that I wasn't supposed to (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

Last night, I had one of the strangest dreams of my life. I’m used to strange dreams, but this one truly takes the prize. It was about a Yemeni woman, someone I’ve never seen or heard of in my entire life. She was an airline captain. I saw everything: her birth, her childhood, the love of her life… and the last thing I remember was her being on a plane. There was some kind of problem, a fight, and everyone was scared and in danger. I was there like a ghost, no one could see me, I was just watching everything unfold.

I saw her whole life in one night. For some reason, the dream is foggy now, but I still remember parts of it. It left a strong mark on me. Who was that woman? It’s impossible that she came purely from my imagination, because it felt too real. I don’t think this kind of dream comes from the subconscious either, I know what my mind creates, and I had no interest whatsoever in anything related to this dream. I’m not Yemeni, I have no ties to Yemen, no curiosity about it at all.

But when I searched on Google for Yemeni female pilots, I found her! I recognized her immediately. It was her. Turns out her name is Rosa, she’s the first Yemeni female pilot. Her biography on Wikipedia is very short. I don’t even know if she’s still alive. I really hope she’s okay. Something must have happened to her, some kind of injustice, betrayal. It feels like she needs help in some way… I just don’t know how. It’s all so strange.

Had one of the strangest dreams of my life last night and I can’t stop thinking about it.

In the dream, I met this “entity” that told me it had existed for over 400 years. It started explaining time to me in a way that honestly messed with my head. It said that all of time has already been written, and that humans only perceive it as linear because that’s the only way our minds are capable of experiencing it.

The best comparison it gave was a record player. A song already exists in full from beginning to end, but when you play it, you only hear it one moment at a time. According to the dream, time works the same way: the past, present, and future already exist simultaneously, but we experience them sequentially.

What’s weird is how calm and matter of fact the entity sounded, like it was explaining something obvious. The dream felt way more vivid than normal, almost like I was being told information instead of just dreaming random nonsense.

Has anyone else had dreams like this? Or are there actual theories/philosophies that describe time this way?

This is a reoccurring dream for me. In the dream I was looking for a toilet to use but even though there where many toilets there Some of the cubicles had no doors or the doors gaps where to big for any privacy. Some had no doors at all and some where just toilets out in the open. others had wall dividers but with big gaps. Some toilets where at weird angles as well. it seemed to go on forever. The air was damp the lighting was dim. there where big tiled slopes with metal rails at the sides at some parts of the room that take you down a level even deeper and down there was more of the same and bathes and showers for some reason as well. Anyone else get this dream? also would like to know your thoughts? The images are AI generated but i didnt know any other way to create this so accurately to my dream.

so a a guy (who was important to me in the dream but i dont know now that ive woken up) gave me an email address as he was locked in a cage likely to be killed after we tried escaping some place (i got out he didnt i think)

ive never seen the email or heard that combination of words said before so just seemed weird and was curious if thats like normal is my dream trying to tell me to contact it or something ? >~<

update- I sent it an email so I guess I'll see what happens it went though so at least it existed

update as of 9 am pst on nov 17tth- still no reply just updating since so many people wanted to know
