I was inspired to start this because I just had the most bizarre and disturbing dream this morning. Warning - it's GROSS. Read at your own risk.

I was staying at a castle with my husband and some random friends. I decided to try on my wedding dress to see if it still fit and it did! It accentuated my miniscule bump nicely so I decided to take a selfie in it (to post to June '16 HDBD thread, of course). But while I was taking the picture my belly started growing really, really fast and large like a balloon until it POPPED! It had burst open and all of my intestines were hanging out. It didn't hurt at all but I was pretty worried, so I showed it to a colleague of mine who is the chief of surgery at my hospital and just happened to also be staying at the castle. He sort of shrugged his shoulders and said it would be fine to just wait until the morning when I could go to the hospital to have it stitched up. And I was like "But what if it gets infected?" and he suggested I could put some antibiotic ointment on it. So strange...

It wasn't until after I woke up that I realized that nowhere in this dream was I worried about whether the baby was safe.

frecklesnbrains hahahaha nice, that is impressively crazy. I wouldn't worry about not thinking of the baby in your dream... It's just a dream!

Last night I dreamt that I went to the same high school as Adam Driver and the girls from 'Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce.' Except we were all our current age, like 31 to 40... In high school. I dreamt Adam Driver and I were good friends and the girls were mad I hadn't told him I was pregnant yet, cause it was going to hurt his feelings. Random!

[frecklesnbrains]

virginiaorjohn I'd like to be BFFs with Adam Driver!

[virginiaorjohn]

frecklesnbrains I am still a little weirded out by his character from Girls. Which is why it was ann odd choice for a person in my dream... I'm sure it's because he's everywhere doing publicity for Star Wars, even though I haven't seen the actual movie yet!

The other night I dreamt that my parents, DH and I were at this big fancy bed & breakfast and having supper in this dining room with a huge fireplace. All of a sudden, the fire kind of exploded and logs flew out into the room. Then little balls of flames floated in front of people's faces. Then the fire disappeared, the logs went back into the fireplace, but DH had VANISHED, like rapture-style GONE. And I said to someone, "this is how tragedies happen!!"

Also - I totally dig Adam Driver, although his character in Girls was SO nasty, especially in the beginning.

Yeah, the characters he plays are a little weird... (Star Wars too! No spoilers), but I guess that makes me a bit interested in who he is as a person. He has that intriguing sort of awkward not-quite-handsome look about him.

[virginiaorjohn]

Flair Underwood that's quite a one-liner, I'm dying over here!

You ladies are cracking me up with these impressively weird dreams.

I wish I could remember storylines. Last night's dreams featured penguins, spies (I am always a spy since re-watching all five seasons of Alias), an ex-boyfriend, shapeshifting (of course), and Snape.

The other night I had a dream in which DH and I had to plan a birthday party for Ruth Bader Ginsburg and I was completely freaking out because I couldn't find a space to hold the party. DH was somehow in charge of the guest list. I was worried that everyone would judge me for being pregnant and wearing my dumpy maternity pjs to the party, because I couldn't find a dress.

I legitimately don't know what's going on in my brain.

[manybellsdown]

Ha, I was kidding, but it exists!

I love this thread. My day is often very influenced by if my dreams were good or not.
The other day I was on a bike ride with Phoebe from Friends and I found this little boy who had been abandoned on the trail and I took him home and got to foster him while we worked with CPS and the police to try to find his parents.
Little Xavier was so cute & the only scary part was trying to figure out how much medicine to give him because he needed several asthma and allergy meds but it was hard to find out his weight & child doses.

I have so many dreams that I will remember briefly when I first wake up but then forget. I should keep a notebook next to my bed.

I had a dream I was at a restaurant where they pretended a small sock snake ( stuffed snake made of stocks) ate most of the fruit from our fruit tray. I wanted it back but they wouldn't give it to me because I wouldn't pray before the meal. They said they can't serve people who don't pray. Then they mocked me with a large stuffed rooster and peahen.

Yes.

[ArgyleEnigma]

That was the dream I just woke up from, btw. Not picked out as weirdest dream in recent memory. Ask me about the dastardly hot air balloon captain...

[titania]

ArgyleEnigma, wow... so much weird in one dream!

I had one the other night that it was my wedding day, but my dress wouldn't fit, so I was frantically looking for one out of my closet to wear. Then I refused to do my hair and left it down and unbrushed cause I wanted the "natural" wedding look.

[frecklesnbrains]

ArgyleEnigma, okay that's probably weirder than my exploding belly dream... Please DO tell us about the dastardly hot air balloon captain!!

[bgkc4]

I can never remember my dreams, but I'm glad you all can because this thread is making my day. I'm cracking up right now!

I recently had a lesbian sex dream. My costar was a vampire. It was ... interesting... to say the least.

I recently had a dream that a coworker of mine had a new boyfriend she couldn't stop raving about. Then I finally met him and it turned out it was a friend of mine whose been married for years. So I had to break it to her that she was the other woman.
Then his wife divorced him because of the affair, and a couple years later my coworker ran into him and forgave him and they ended up getting married. So I had to have this whole conversation with the ex-wife about how coworker is actually a really nice person, and she never knew about their marriage and would never have deliberately broken them up. Ex-wife was not having it.
It was a really intricate dream!

No crazy dreams so far with this pregnancy, but when I was pregnant with DD...

My dream was that I gave birth to a baby girl and she was so beautiful and perfect. And then she opened her mouth and smiled at me and instead of baby gums, she had two full rows of large dog teeth.

FWIW, she was not actually born with teeth.

Pregnancy dreams are the best!

A lot of my dreams seem to revolve around celebrities. When I was pregnant with DS, I dreamed that I was part of the Cosby family. A few weeks ago, I dreamed that I was Lucille Ball and I was having an affair with Jimmy Fallon. (wtf?)

I also shared here last week that I dreamed that DH hired a prostitute who came to our house when my whole family was there visiting and proceeded to, um, "honor" their appointment while I entertained my family in the kitchen. I woke up angry at him that night.

I also dreamed last week that I delivered twin girls by myself at home and then proceeded to walk to my grandparents house (about a half mile from where I grew up) so I could show them off. By the time we got there, they were toddlers and everyone was super impressed that I took care of the delivery by myself.

My DH always laughs that I have ridiculous dreams and remember details. I'm going to type this out while I remember it. I had a dream last night that I went to a nail salon to use a gift card and get my nails done with someone I barely knew. All of their nail polish colors were "destroyed" in a storm so they said that I had two colors to choose from. The lady doing my nails was extremely rude, at one point I snapped at her. She never painted my nails any color, it took her hours and she kept disappearing for a long time. Finally I got checked out and they were charging for $100 and never even finished doing my nails. I got pretty upset and said there was no pay I was paying $100 but would pay $30 since I should have asked before I started if they had any colors. The lady got really upset, said she was quitting her job and that I was "just a teacher anyhow." She also called the police and stormed out of the nail salon.

Um? What. That doesn't even make sense as I type it out. I'm sure I'll go back and read this later and be like, "huh?" I told my husband I had a strange dream with details last night but he was leaving the house and that it would take me too long to explain, ha!

I dreamt I was graduating from college and there were too big pre-graduation events to choose from, a party with Beyoncé performing and a party with some 90's band like Blink 182 or Sum 41 or something? For some reason my friends had opted for the latter, but my friends were a mix of my real friends from college and a couple former students (though they were just normal friends to me in the dream). Then there was my boyfriend, who was entirely fictional even though I dated DH through most of college.
We were trying to get to the concert but our bus was stuck in traffic. My friends (all men in this dream) were conspiring to break up my boyfriend and I, because one of them had a crush on me and everyone thought I'd be better off with him.
Finally after hours on the bus, we were passing the party with Beyoncé and it said BEYONCÉ on the outside in huge, glittery pink letters. And I said, "what am I even doing" and got off the bus to go to that party. Then I woke up.

Last night I dreamed that I was in a relationship with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love started a rumor that I was using heroin. She convinced all of my friends and family that because I kept sniffling (I've had a cold) that it was because I was using heroin and I needed an intervention. They all agreed to pay to send me to rehab ($12000 a person) and I had to give this big speech to everyone about how I appreciated their offer but that I had never used any drugs and that they were mistaken. We all agreed that I would go to some NA meetings just so they would believe that I was fine. I ended up going to those and my mom was embarrassed because she worked at the place that sponsored the NA meetings and I should know better. Very weird and very random!


I had another dream last night that my stepdad was in a new stroke rehab program that used killer whales and he was in the pool with Free Willy. Lol, what?
