Thread: When Dream Animals Attack!

This was somewhat inspired by Caradon's Triceratops attack dream.

Post some of your most intense animal attack dreams. They can be lucid or non-lucid. I don't have anything to start off with, but I'll go back through my journal, whenever I have a chance, and post some.

hmm... I can't think of any attacks by animals on myself in my dreams... but I do remember a bunch of times that I dreamed my pets were in danger and I had to save them

In this one dream, I was partially lucid, and I was in a 4-wheeler in the parking lot of a grocery store at night. This bear-wolf hybrid pops up out of the blue and starts to run at me at an incredible speed. I cat-wheeled my way away as fast as I could in hopes of running away, but just as the bear wolf hybrid got close to me, I left the dream. I found myself in another dream and said,"Whoo, that was close!" and I woke up.

When I was in pre-school orso I was followed by a massive snake in a dream, bigger then the one in anaconda, it started in a church, then I walked home, I just went to lay down in my bed as that huge snake came through the window, then all of a sudden my cat came into the room and completely killed the evil snake!

Ofcourse I've also had some times a dream that a T-rex would come after me, he just wouldn't stop following me, sometimes I got it done to shake it off.

my first animal attack dream was probably some time after the first jurassic park movie. I was just a little kid then, and this was one of my first vivid dreams with clear and exact details, like the leaves on the tree to the dirt on the roads.

anyhoot, turns out jurassic park was my school's back yard. me and my sisters tried to escape from t-rex after being chased by smaller dinosaurs. well, it got me. in one swoop it lifted me off the ground and I was between it's teeth. as it slowly chomped down on me I felt the pressure of its massive teeth, and it hurt so bad. the pain of t-rex's teeth was enough to wake me up. of which I was in pain for five more minutes, conscious and awake.

the pain wasn't like normal back pain or a pain I ever experienced again, just imagine large teeth slowly puncturing you at even intervals on your back.

my more recent animal attack dream was very recently, and it felt some what symbolic. I was a native american boy with a hunting rifle on my way home. But as I was kayaking through a river that was slowly starting to freeze, a crocodile attacked me. In the dream there was only moonlight, which was covered most of the time by the clouds. So it was very dark and I could only make out the crocodile's attacks by the light catching his eyes or his scales - or his tail rocking my kayak back and forth.

I hesitated and my hands were shaky, but I finally fired and got him in the chest. Once on dry land, I thought I was safe. But I heard something emerge from the water. This time it was a large shaggy brown bear, a grizzly I guess. He had a wound where I had left one on the crocodile. The chase continues until we reach a snowy clearing, where I encounter a white bear *its features were not like a polar bear, but a brown bear that was white*

I thought that maybe the two bears would fight over me, instead they both turned on me. I fired and killed them both. but the attack wasn't over. The white bear was a mommy and had a cub. The cub became consumed with revenge and turned into a demon that haunted me for the rest of the dream

Good job, jurorara! I wish I had been as brave. And I'm impressed by succesful firing of a dream-gun, several times no less! Were you lucid during those?

Maybe a "When Good Pets Go Bad" thread? I mean now that you have Red, kitties would never go bad.

Here's my dream, inspired by reading all of caradon's animal attack dreams. I didn't give mine a chance.

I'm on a zip-line sliding over a rocky canyon. It's great until I see where the line leads, which is a cave in the side of the mountain, and I see a grizzly bear and a polar bear inside, looking at me and walking back and forth. (Caradon! The bears came out of your dreams and into mine! I'm not as brave as you!) I am overcome with fear and lose all lucid control. I drop from the line, thinking it will be better to die on the rocks than be eaten by the bears. But I land softly, and I begin to make long-jumps across the rocks; then I am able to fly, but only slowly. I remember SkySaw's imaginary "flying vehicle", and I try to do that, like an invisible bicycle, but I can't manage to move my legs the right way. I wonder if it is because of sleep paralysis, and I whirl my arms in the air to test it out--they seem to work fine. I go back into the grocery story and lay on the floor. I attempt to convince myself that everything I am experiencing is a product of my own mind. A man sees me laying there and comes over to see why.

One of my scariest dreams (semi-LD) involved a bunch or velocaraptors running around on a university campus killing people. I was terrified.

For as long as I can remember i've been having a recurring dream about a huge bear chasing me around trying to eat me. It's the bear called Akakabuto from the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginga:_Nagareboshi_Gin

I must have watched this movie a hundred times when I was a kid so.. Go figure.


In the dream Akakabuto would appear out of the woods while I was taking a walk. I constantly try to find places to hide but the bastard always finds me. If I hide in a building he just tears the place apart, and no matter how fast I run he's always at my heels

In fact, I think i'll make it my Lucid task to summon this bad boy and make peace with him (Or make a fur coat out of him)

I get a lot of bear attack dreams too. But I never had the same one hunting me. Good idea to confront the bear in a Lucid Dream. better to make peace with it than fight it. I did that with a bull attack dream. And I haven't had many attack dreams since. Until last night. I had another bear one.

this is a bear attack I had last night. not as scary as most of my bear attack dreams are. Normally bears scare the crap out of me more than anything else.

Bear attack!
I'm walking with my step dad on some wilderness trail. we are getting ready to camp out for the night when I see something moving away from us through the brush really fast. It's only about as big as raccoon and it's a brown round ball of fur. I notice that there is a nest near the trail. there are these tiny animals that look like miniature gorillas sitting in the nest looking up at me. I reach down towards them with my fingers extended. And the little gorillas open their mouths wide trying to bite my fingers.

I now notice, that the mother that has just ran off is now back. And it's a small brown bear! A lot bigger than a cub. but still much smaller than a full grown bear. I'm trying to avoid it hiding and stuff. when I see my step dad confronting the bear. I try to tell him that even though the bear is small, it is still very powerful. but he continues his confrontation.

The bear charges him. And my step dad falls down as he tries to back off. I see the bear attack him. It has it's jaws clamped onto his arm. I then attack the bear trying to help him. I get the bear to release his arm. and I hold my hand around the bears nose and mouth trying to keep it from being able to bite. Even as I do this I realize that I should not be strong enough to hold his mouth closed. but I'm manging it anyway.
I'm afraid to let go. I take my finger and poke it into the bears eye. thinking that if I can blind it. I can let go of it's mouth and run away. It's pretty gross. My finger sinks into it's eyeball, and a bunch of fluid comes pouring out of the socket. I'm about to try poking out it's other eye when I wake up.

"Wolf Magnet"

I was on my way to a job in Sanford, and I was riding a bike instead of driving a car. I was riding down the sidewalk on Rinehart Road, and this was obviously back before everything turned into an office park, because it was all woods, beside me. After riding a few miles, I heard howling coming from the woods. When I got to a slight clearing, I saw a small wolf sprinting toward me, I started riding faster, but the wolf was right at my heels. I forgot how, but I was able to deter it from attacking me, and it began to back off. Just then, another, much bigger and obviously older wolf shot out of the woods, chasing me down. It caught up to me and I was thrown off the bike. I started trying to fight it off, but it was too strong for me, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to outrun it. Scrambling back to my feet, the last thing I remember was grabbing the mountain bike, slinging it up over me in a wide arc and slamming it down onto the wolf’s head. I think I crushed it, but I don’t really remember.

One of my first entries in my Dream journal back on May 17, 2000 was an animal attack dream. Here it is:
My stepmother Sandra and I are in the backyard at night time in front of a campfire. I notice a noise in the bushes. I look around and see a small furry creature. At first, I think it's my black cat "Spooky" but then I realize... it's a SKUNK! It was quite small and it was.. climbing down a tree, kind of like a squirrel would. I scream and warn Sandra about the skunk. I run away as fast as my legs could carry me, and the skunk chases me! Sandra sort of walks away from the skunk. I am petrified that I will get sprayed by the skunk's stink. Finally, I make it inside our garage safely. But Sandra is missing...

Well, I guess that's not so much an "aniaml attack", the their was definitely potential.

It used to be that anytime I saw a dog in a dream I could be sure it would come charging at me in no time. In one dream I was even ... er ... sexually assaulted by a massive black dog.

But his all changed after one semi-lucid dream where I decided to offer no resistance to the attacker. I actually held my hand out for the dog to bite in order to show it I didn't care.

The dog eventually calmed down, but it wasn't instant. There was some painful biting for a while--very awkward. I just had to sit there and stay calm. And even after it settled down I had a feeling it could turn violent at any moment.

Now whenever I feel I'm going to be attacked I'll offer up my flesh before that fight begins. Kind of takes the wind out of the attacker's sails.

I had a dream last week that I was being attacked by T-rex dinosaurs. not cool.

Thats cool. Can you do that without being Lucid? I don't have any problem handling the situation once getting Lucid. But, before that happens things can get pretty scary sometimes. especially if it's a bear dream.

Last night I got Lucid while being attacked by two giant T-Rex skeletons. It was just my subconscious putting me in the right position to get Lucid.
I'm grateful for that kind of help.
I don't have time to post the whole thing again here. But I just finished putting it in my journal.

Just saw your post awoke! My attack was scary but fun!

The next wild animal that attacks me I'm going to assume it's a dream! Good way to get lucid. Come on, I'm waiting, attack away!

I have been attacked by a werewolf in a dream before, He clawed at my throat, And managed to bite me on the chin. Felt myself drop to all fours- Then everything faded out and i woke up. Creepy.

Even creepier is this was the only dream i had all night, and it took from 11PM to 8AM to finish, The fighting and transforming seemed to only take seconds.

I have an overwelming fear of being attacked by a dog. So somtimes that happens in dreams. It never turns out the way I want it to...

This one is something of a recurrent theme in my non-lucid dreams - perhaps I should sort them out by becoming lucid, but hell, I love snakes and they do nibble one's fingers at times.

In reality, I own 2 snakes, neither of which is venomous or very big. I keep them in separate vivaria in my house. I don't use either for breeding purposes, yet I have a recurring dream that in one of the tanks, one of my snakes starts to breed by itself or clones itself. Suddenly, there can be several or more, baby snakes in there, and sometimes some of them come to bite at my fingers. Ouch!

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.

And the next night it failed again.

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

Took me a while to find this thread.

It's still happening!

Last night I got chased by a giant dinosaur sized lizard that was intent on eating me. The thing looked like a Komodo dragon. Only it was giant like a dinosaur. I was walking along the shore of a river when I hear the footsteps like in "Jurassic park". "Boom Boom Boom" I realize there is a dinosaur coming for me and I jump into the river to try to swim away. And I see this giant lizard come out of the trees, forked tongue flicking out at me. Luckily the thing didn't come into the water after me and I made my escape down river.
