Thread: When Dream Animals Attack!

It's been awhile since I've had a good attack dream. Here is one I had in my nap today.

A brief moment of anxiety induced Lucidity
I'm not going to officially count this one though.

I'm fishing off the shore of a wide river that is between steep rocky cliffs. It's a nice place and I'm enjoying being here. I get a bite on my line and I try to pull it in. It's a very strong fish though. It fights so hard that I can not real it in. I may as well have the hook caught on an under water rock or something. I'm straining as hard as I can, and expecting the line to break at any moment.

But then I start to make progress, and the fish gets closer. I'm wondering what kind of thing I have caught. The head of the thing breaks the surface. I can see that it's one of the aliens from the "Aliens" movies. It continues to rise from the water, and it has a long neck like a sea monster. the neck sways back and forth, and it's lips draw back dripping slime from it's mouth.. It screams an ear piercing shriek. and I'm not even scared at this point. because I think it is confined to the water.

But the thing begins to rise even higher from the water. I begin to back away. I look behind me and see a corridor between the cliffs. I look back towards the alien and see that it's a queen, and I'm puny in comparison. It steps out of the water and begins charging at me shrieking terrifyingly

I turn to run and I think" Oh god, I don't think I like this dream!" When I say those words I become Lucid, and I feel like I've sort of known it was a dream the whole time. But I'm still not quite fully Lucid. I'm a bit confused and disoriented and still very much afraid. I realize I should not still be afraid. But the disorienting feeling I have in the process of becoming fully Lucid with this terrifying monster quickly bearing down on me, has things feeling a bit out of control. I scramble up some rocks trying to buy myself some time to get my head on straight, so I can get control of the situation. But as I climb the rocks I wake up.

God I love animals, I don't think I've ever had a dream where I was being attacked by one, not in my entire life!

My sister is always telling me about hers though. Dogs, lions, bears, snakes, other big cats... just craziness.

I love animals too.

The dreams all started after doing a lot of backpacking in the mountains alone. I never even worried about bears or mountain lions much at the time.

But I started getting dreams where I encounter them in the wild and they attack. Now I get all sorts of crazy attack dreams. though they have slowed down a lot lately. But I know that's just a pause.

I don't mind them though. Because they can be funny, and I sometimes get Lucid because of it.

Oh I know, getting ate by giant tyranosaurs who are extremly fast and have all their senses maxed <.<

Hm wow, I have only had one animal-attack dream in the past 3 years (As far as I can remember) It wasn't lucid however. The dream was going great, it was a really fun dream in fact. It had a story and everything. Anyway, I was with this older lady and a really nice guy in his higher 20's, the lady had a pet dog too. It was one of those half-wolf dogs. (Though this dog looked more 3/4 wolf.)

It was odd because the whole dream we had been a team and such, and suddenly the lady gets red eyes and looks all evil. She sends her dog after the nice guy who is litterally torn limb from limb as I look in horror. She looks at me and it is like slow motion as she tells the dog to kill me. I sprint off down the road (it is like a desert with a road that goes streight, and it randomly turns to thick trees, then desert, then trees etc.) as fast as I can go. I look behind as the dog gains and I suddenly stoop on all fours and run at super speed. I then wake up sweating with a fast heart beat.

It was a freaky end to a great dream.

I have a few non-lucid animal attack dreams...I'll post links. They're in my old Dream Log from December 2007, and I haven't been back to the site since until now because school has been too busy for me to focus on Dreaming. XD Here are some of my Dream Animal Attacks!

Here we attacked (and were attacked by) a Giant Alligator. And there were some snakes, too, I think. Also, an alligator shaped guitar case.

Here the DCs I was following in the dream were attacked by a swarm of very small alligators.

In this dream, there were a bunch of giant animals associated with particular religious temples, and when some temples waged war on some other temples, the giant animals fought thenmselves and the humans in the surrounding area. Freaky!
This Dream

In the first dream in this post, I was attacked by some crazy baboons. >_<

I once had a non-LD where I walked into my old bedroom of my old apartment and saw, on the top bunk, our old cat Nermal, looking at me with eyes the size of saucers and his mouth wide open, as if my entering the room had scared him shitless. Then he pounced on my face and I woke up...

I have never had an animal attack me in a dream (that I can remember) but I do remember a very menacing dream about cats.

It was back when I was in high school and I had horrible insomnia. I was lying in bed awake (or so I thought) when I realized that I should go ahead and re-set my alarm clock fifteen minutes later than usual because I knew there was no way I was waking up at the actual time it was set for. When I turned toward my clock, it was on the floor by my closet (where I threw it every night - out of reach so I would actually have to get out of bed to snooze it) and was being guarded by a cat. The cat was completely white and curled up next to the clock licking itself. I was curious as to how a cat managed to get into my house, let alone my room, so I started to rise from bed to approach it. When I did, the cat snapped up and started to hiss at me. It was pacing back and forth, in front of the clock, keeping me away from it. The cats eyes glowed an eerie red. I sat up in my bed and was terrified! I felt that this cat really posed a formable threat. I told myself I was dreaming and I instantly awakened back in bed under the covers. I got up to head towards the clock and imagine my surprise when the cat was there again, only this time even more demonic.

I realized I was dreaming, yet again, and again I awoke. To find two demonic menacing cats guarding my alarm clock.

By this time, I realized that there was no way of fighting it. Instead, I lay on my bed and watched the cats carefully. When my breathing and heart rates slowed, and I became calm again, the cats also became calm and would curl up around the clock. Slowly, in my dream, I fell asleep. I awoke at 5:45 a.m. to my alarm clock - which meant sometime during the night I had somehow actually managed to set my alarm clock back 15 minutes from 5:30 a.m.

I had a dream that I was in a shed with many of my classmates. All of the sudden, a RACCOON :O charges in and scares everyone out. I hide in the corner, but it finds me and I kick it. I was about to again, but my body froze up (I went into a statue position) and woke up.

I was once stabbed by a camel who turned into a rat king, for a while I was repeatyedly attacked by the first creatures you meet in SIlent Hill 4 (in the subway), and I once drowned as a result of I think my air hose to my scuba tank being severed by what I think was a shark. And at least once I have had night terrors that made me think I had been being attacked by a great, hulking evil dog. Aside from that, I have really only been attacked by animals in this one dream that was like a miniseries based on a video game, and was attacked by, among other things, a caramel candycat (like a brown striped version of the candycat from DQVIII)

Bear dream turned Lucid
Lucid # 62 of 2008

It's night and I'm walking on the trails at the cabin. I'm walking farther away from the cabin, deeper into the woods. My intention is to walk the entire trail system in the dark. (which I've done quite a few times) I get about half way through when suddenly get a really bad feeling that I may run into a bear. So I decide to go back.

I'm not all that afraid, but I start running back down the trail. I notice I don't even have a flash light. It's hard to see, and wonder why I would do this without one. (It's pitch black out there at night unless there is a full moon.)

A ways ahead of me I can see something big and brown jaunting down the trail. I'm not completely sure because of the darkness, but it looks like a large brown bear. It's not coming towards me, it's going in the same direction as me. So I'm coming up behind it.

I'm like WTF how can that be real. I slow down my running so that I don't catch up to it. I'm staring hard at it, trying to decide if I'm really seeing what I think I'm seeing. It now looks as if it is standing upright on two feet, and I get my first really good look at it. OMG! It's not a bear... It's Bigfoot!

I start to really freak out for the first time, I leave the trail slipping into the tree line, trying to disappear. (The trail doesn't look at all like the cabin trails right now.) At this point I start to become Lucid, a very low level though. I think, "Oh yeah that's right, I know how to fly." I feel some relief at this and begin flying, thinking I can just fly away.

But there is some kind of ceiling over the portion of forest I'm in. It does not allow for me to get nearly high enough to get out of Bigfoots reach. To make things worse, I see that Bigfoot has now become aware of me, and has backtracked to my location. He is looking through the trees trying to find me.

He is only a few feet away, and I begin to panic. Then I Think, "Wait a second, since this is a dream, I can easily transform the attacker into a friend." With that thought, my whole perspective on things change, and I instantly feel happy and friendly. With no fear, I land in front of Bigfoot with the intention of making him a friend.

Even as I land, My change of perspective on the situation has already transformed Bigfoot into a non threatening female DC. She is shorter than me now, and is wearing I purple hooded sweatshirt. She seems odd, as if she is partially mentally handicapped.

"Lets be friends and stick together,? I ask. " OK" she says, in a really odd high pitched squeaky voice." Then, my mischievous side starts to come out, and in a voice trying to imitate hers. I describe some sexual things we can do together. (Omitting the details)

She agrees that what I'm describing would be fun, and she is all for it. " Not right now though, I say, later." We walk away together, and I keep talking to her in this voice like she is using. And I keep describing in detail different sexual acts we can perform later.

It was really one of the funniest Lucid conversations I have ever had with a DC. I was inwardly laughing my ass off the whole time. I was totally messing with her, trying to see how far I could go before she got offended.

She was mostly agreeable about everything. But after a while of this she finally says, " I don't think I like you." And she just turns and walks away. I laugh, then turn to go find something else to do. But I wake right then.

The one that comes to mind is a dream I had last year when I was camping. I had a false awakening where I was inside my tent but could hear a disturbing howling noise right outside.

At that point, I heard my tent start to rip open. I try to grab a weapon but I can't get my arms out of my sleeping bag. I try more and more frantically to get my arms loose as the tent rips open and a mountain lion springs into the tent.

The cat is almost right on top of me when I wake up shouting. Within the first few seconds after I wake up, but before I had time to gather myself, I found myself sitting bolt upright with a Bowie knife in my hand.

Sounds scary, I've had plenty of those mountain lion attacks too.

The only times I ever have dreams of being attacked by animals, it's always been by cats. Not like meow cats though, I'm talking big cats like cougars and african lions.

I'm sure it's because the only wild animals I'm really afraid of while I'm out in the woods are the big cats because they stalk and ambush.

Yeah, the big cats are the most dangerous of them all. We aren't much more than mice to them.


Bear attack
The first time Nose RC ever failed.
This one was during my fall cabin trip


I had just got done doing a WBTB. During my WBTB I had taken my flashlight, held it up to the window, and swept the light across the property outside.When I did this I thought about how freaky it would be if I saw bear out there, and that if I did, I would remember to do a reality check.

So, I then lay down and go to sleep. Right away I have a false awakening. I dream that I get up to do a WBTB. I do the thing with the flashlight out the window, and what do I see. I huge black bear down by the pond! It begins walking up the slope towards the cabin.

Crap, do an RC! I pinch my nose and I can't breath! Shit it's not a dream this time! I switch off the light, and turn and walk away from the window, hoping the bear won't notice me.

But when I turn back around, there is the bear, inside the cabin! I'm aware enough to be confused as to how the bear got through the wall without causing any damage to the window or anything. But I then forget about it as the bear starts making it's way into the kitchen. I'm thinking, "This just can't be happening." I remember what Moonbeam said about a bear getting into somebodies house and raiding their kitchen, And I figure that's what it's going to do.

But then My dog wakes up and sees the bear. She barks and I reach over and clamp her jaws shut, but it's too late. The bear turns it's head looking right at us, and starts coming our way. I slide far back across the bed, and up against the wall. And I keep thinking over and over, "This can't be happening!" The bear stands up on it's hind legs, taking a swipe at me across the bed with one of it's front paws. just barely missing me.

It makes a couple more swipes, and I keep denying that this could be happening. My denial begins to change things. The bear starts to look less and less real, more like a big stuffed animal, until finally it looks like a stuffed gorilla. I get confused and realize that it isn't real at all. I start to realize I'm dreaming at this point, but the gorilla reaches up and lifts it's head off lol.

It's an old girl friend I used to have, wearing a gorilla suite! She tells me she heard I was here at the cabin all alone, and she decide to sneak up on me in the middle of the night wearing the suit, to freak me out. I tell her that it worked, and that I had to do reality checks when I first saw her. Then I wake up thinking "WTF" My RC failed.

And the next night it failed again.

i've had a few animal attacks in my dreams...
there was one i had when i was around 7 years old. a HUGE spider(so big it could barely get through the doorway) came into my living room. my parents tryed to protect me but i think the spider ate them. It started coming towards me but then the dream ended.
I was really freaked out at the time!!!

This is one of the best dreams I've ever read. It made me laugh SO hard.

good morning i'm a newbie here and i really wanted some insight on this dream i had..

It was me and some friends joyriding aoung town and we were all drunk one of my friends acts all stupid and both me and her end up at the end of a canal where there's an alligator next to us. i panic and run and yell at her to do the same but she insteads throws herself in the water and start swimmin away from the alligator but laughing the whole time.. i in the mean time avoid another one on land as i try to get to safer grounds and tell her to get out of the water. finally she reaches a bridge and she cant go any farther and i see the fear in her eyes as she realizes whats going on.. the alligator attackes and like in the movies you just see a wave go by and he takes her to where i cant see her or reach her.. i start running to the road to find my friends and instead i find my 2 yr old son.. i grab him and i start yelling as loud as i could for help but you could barely hear me and i run to see if i could see my friend but all i hear is the worst scream ever.. she is in so much pain and i couldnt do anything i keep yelling for help and then i wake up...

I'm not much of a dream interpreter, but I wouldn't read too much into it. I get Alligator/crocodile attacks Sometimes too. It's always scarier when seeing somebody you care about getting hurt in your dreams though.

Mine involved a gator-infested Lake. Ironically enough, it didn't involve a gator. Heh.

Starting at the fourth paragraph from the top:

I was lucid sometime around either the beginning of this dream, or a dream before it. I remember becoming lucid in a parking lot, and asking the DC who was with me (A real friend of mine. Can't remember who) what we should do with our lucidity. I tried so damn hard to remember what the tasks of the month are, but I couldn't. All I could think of was the "Build a Snowman" and "Give a DC a Present" tasks, but knew they were previous tasks. Not able to think of the present task, we went off to find something to do.

Next thing I know, I was out at lake with Brian, Matt and a few others. (Not 100% certain that these dreams were connected, but I'm pretty positive) All around - and in - this lake were castles and other medeival structures that people were touring, so the whole area was like a theme park or something. (Been noticing castles and such appearing more in my dreams. Will start trying to look for them as dream signs.) We were the only people on the lake that actually had jetskis (the stand-up kind) and we were just having a blast with them, hooking u-turns and just opening them all the way up, speeding on such a (relatively) small body of water. There was a dark corner of the lake which turned into a small river, through dense, jungle-like areas, which funneled out into a much larger lake or river, and we were all careful to stay away from it. We knew that there were gators in this lake, that hung out mostly in that area, but it didn't stop us from jet-skiing and boating in the water. Though I do remember being secretely horrified of falling off one of the jet-skis. Lol.

Some time later, we had to go. Matt and Brian went to go get the car, and I sat down in a lobby area, waiting. I had a bag with me that had comic books and some of my art supplies in it, and I began drawing. Some guy, sitting beside me, was a comic book fanatic and started going crazy over my art and the badass comics I had. We sat there and talked about comics for a while, and I forgot that I was supposed to go back up front after giving them a little time to get the car. I didn't really care, though, because I remember having to wait for them for like an hour, before coming to the lake, for something I actually don't remember. (Lol.) So I just sat there and talked to the guy a bit more. Another Brian, from work, comes in and tells me to hurry up, because the other Brian is waiting for me at the car, and I finally get up to leave. On the way out, I noticed that the entire place was absolutely crawling with gorgeous women. The majority of them were Latina, which implied that we were in some sort of South American (Or southern-North American - lol) tourist spot. I was practically tripping over myself, trying to check some of them out, on my way to the door.

Walking out of this place - which was open, over the lake, but enclosed, between the lake and the parking lot - was like walking through an airport terminal. Very modern and commercialized. I had to walk down two flights of stairs that were all surrounded by dark marble and glass. When I got down to the ground level, walking out through the glass, mall-type doors, I came across a little asian kid pretending to be Hiro Nakamura from Heroes. He was squinting his eyes like him, and I could tell he was trying to bend space/time. I thought it was kind of cute, and then turned to walk to the car. Ironically enough, I bumped into the "real" Hiro Nakamura. He told me something important, but I can't remember what it was, and we started walking out to where I knew the car and my friends would be. Way out in front of us, down the line of cars, I see some kind of commotion. A fight or something? I can't tell what it is, but then I see a tiny woman hit the ground. A young girl is screaming, and the woman's body seems to be getting slowly dragged between two parked cars, by something I couldn't yet see. I could hear the woman screaming now, and the young girl came running toward us.

As she approached, we could see the girl was completely covered in blood. It was running down her arms, and splashed all over the front of her dress. Her face and hair were soaked in it. She was screaming something like "It took it! That dog ran off with the baby!!," and was holding her hands out to us as she pled - as if to show a subconscious shock at being drenched in blood, while trying to convey her message. Apparently the dog had attacked the group and was wrestling the baby away from the lady, which is why we saw her being dragged. The rest of my friends suddenly came in view of the incident, as did a few other strangers. It was then that we saw a large, but boney, tan-colored dog running aimlessly through the parking lot. It's face, too, was covered in blood. Those with guns drew them, and started trying to take the dog down. I - somehow knowing it was there - ran to my mom's car and grabbed her gun out of the glove box. The clip and gun were separated, and I popped the clip in, cocked it and ran back to help take the dog down, before it killed someone, or someone else.

The police suddenly show up, and get a little nervous because I don't have a permit to carry a gun. They didn't really bother anyone, though, and seemed to appreciate the help in finding the dog. We were all allowed to search along with them, weapons drawn. At one point, I saw the dogs legs, standing under a truck. I quickly dropped down onto my stomach, drew a bead on the dog and fired. Or, rather, tried to fire. The gun just clicked in my hand. Someone else saw me and dropped down beside me to shoot at the dog, but he was too late, and the dog ran off just as the bullets whizzed passed him. I got up and pulled the clip out of my gun.

Turns out, I had put it in backward.

Flipping it around, I went back in to join the chase for the dog. Don't remember anything after that.

(I got up with the intention to come to DV, find out the tasks, and try a WBTB, but I ended up staying awake.)

Wow that was a pretty surreal dream. Lol at putting the clip in backwards.





Demonic Bigfoot



It starts out as a bear dream. I don't remember the very firsts part very well, but I'm outside Grizzly Adams cabin. There are brown bears everywhere, and they are tearing the place up. I'm not sure if I'm actually in this part, or just watching it like a movie. But I remember thinking that this is odd, because Grizzly Adams always has friendly animals around.

The bears all take off down a trail, and a woman comes out of the cabin and shouts."Oh My god! they are going to the house, where the kids are!" The dream shifts and I'm outside a small house. This is like a time before there were any phones, and there is no way for the woman to contact the children, to warn them about the bears.

I'm in the yard, and I can now see the bears coming down the trail towards me. But they are no longer bears. The bears have become creatures that walk on two legs. The only resemblance to bears they now have, is that they are covered in brown fur. They are very scary looking. They have long skinny arms and legs, and their torsos are skinny too. So that they are kind of shaped like stick figures. Their heads are all covered in fur. But probably the scariest thing about them, is that where their faces should be, It's just an empty black void. This gives me the impression that these are not just natural creatures, but some kind of evil. They are quite frightening, and they make a deep gurgling growling type of sound as they walk towards me with a slow lumbering gate.

There is about five of them, and they are scattered at various points along the trail.
The first one is out of the woods, and coming across the yard. With the others not too far behind.

I run to the house and try to open the door, but it's locked. It must be my house, because I reach in my pocket and pull out my keys. I fumble through my keys, looking for the right one. I fear I will not be able to get the door open in time. But just then, the door opens.

Somebody inside came to let me in. It must be one of the kids, I think. But as I enter I see that it's not a kid, but my moms dog. (Which I'm dog sitting right now.) I now have that weird annoying natural type of Lucidity that I've had in so many dreams the last two weeks. I'm aware I'm dreaming but don't fully comprehend the implications of that. I see that the dog is standing upright on two legs and has opened the door for me. And is actually holding the door as I enter. Aware it's a dream, I find this funny, and think." That's pretty good, the dog is letting me in the house."

I then walk across a kitchen, and halfway through the kitchen I think, "Wait a second... this is a dream!" And full Lucidity washes over me. I now stop and turn around to face these creatures outside. I notice I'm wearing my winter coat, even though there is no snow outside. I take off my coat and drop it on the floor, as I walk back to the door. And at the same time, I say to somebody in the room,(Probably the dog.) " I have some business to take care of outside."

I step outside, and my plan now, is to walk up to one of these creatures and give it a big hug. I want to see how the dream will change if I show these things love, instead of fear. But my lack of fear has already altered events. The creatures are no longer coming towards the house, but turn and start walking down a road, away from the house. I think, "great... now that I'm no longer afraid, they are going to leave.

I really want to confront them and still determined to do so. But now I start to worry that I will wake up before I can get to them. Just then I see a line of school buses pull up and stop. I watch as one of the creatures pulls open a bus door and enter the bus.
(before they would have been much too big to fit through a school bus door.)

The bus driver suddenly comes flying out of the bus as if thrown, and sprawls out on the ground. I start to make my way in that direction and wake up.

Well I didn't actually get attacked in this one, But I thought I should post it here anyway.

Bear dreamsign recognized

This one took place about four hours into sleep. And after hitting snooze for the second time.

Earlier in the night I had a polar bear dream. I remember doing a quick nose RC when I saw the bears, but the RC failed and I didn't get Lucid. But Then I returned to the same place and got Lucid the second time around.

I'm in a forest with many trails. There is a group of people with me, and we are aware that there are many polar bears in the area. For some reason I don't remember we all separate. I go my own way, and follow a trail that takes me to a wide open field. I Tell myself that the next time I see a bear I'm going to become Lucid for sure. I can remember what happened the last time. I must be already partially aware that I'm dreaming.

On the edge of the field, and because of the angle of the land, I'm having a hard time seeing the entire area. There is some tall grass too, that's not making it any easier. I know there is a bear Somewhere. I'm not too afraid, I want to see one so that I can become Lucid.

I see a large rock and climb onto it, trying to get a better view of the area. I can see most of the field now. I don't see any bears, and think, "Come on bears, where are you." I then hear a sound behind me. I turn around and see a polar bear standing right behind me. " A bear! Do a reality check!" I pinch my nose and I can't hardly get any air to go through at all. I'm momentarily confused because of the failed RC. But then I think, " I don't care, I'm getting Lucid this time!

I jump from the rock. and at the same time grab the bear by the head. I then begin to fly upwards, pulling the bear into the air with me. I remember a previous non Lucid polar bear attack dream, and I'm thinking about spinning around swinging, then throwing this bear. Just like I did before. But I then remember the last Lucid I had, and that I want to handle the situation another way.

Instead of throwing the bear, I put my arms around it's neck and give it a big hug. I begin scratching behind it's ears while I let us descend back to the ground. Once on the ground I continue to scratch it's ears and talk to it. I can't remember exactly what I was saying though. It was just silly things one might say to an animal while petting it.

The bear isn't trying to bite me, So I push my luck and put my nose right up to it's nose, giving it the perfect opportunity to try and take my head off. But instead of biting me, the bear licks my face.

There is a dirt road now, and I turn and start walking down it. The bear follows me, and I think, "This is cool, Now I have a pet bear." We walk down the road a ways, and suddenly there is a group of animals coming down the road towards us.

There are brown bears, panthers, and a family of...monkeys. Some of the monkeys are pretty large, almost gorilla size. And they have many small babies with them. When I first see this group I have the feeling that they are going to try and attack me. But I decide I'm going to face them down, like I did the bear. And I will have a whole mob of animals following me around my dream.

When I reach the group, I decide to go for the baby monkeys, seeing if I can provoke an attack from the larger ones. I say,"Oh look at the cute little monkeys." And I reach down lifting one of them up in my hand. It's so small that I can hold it up in the palm of my hand. Alarm clock goes off.
Edit: Forgot to mention that when I woke up I realized my nose RC's were failing, because my nose was pretty stuffed up.
