Thread: What is your most repetitive or annoying dream ever?

Most annoying dream? The ones where I repeat the same situation endlessly, incapable of changing it (aka incapable of attaining ludicity), such as writing a test in a foreign language or showing up to work naked.

Most repetitive dream? The falling dreams we all seem to get on occasion. I get one about once weekly, whenever I am uber-stressed. I dream that I am walking down the stairs and lose my footing, then jolt awake.

I'm back in the Army and I'm late for duty! Or I'm back in the Army doing their dreaded activities.

IMJ

it's a different situation every time, but something will come up where I will need/want to be somewhere very quickly, but I just can't seem to get myself ready. Like I'll dream that my basketball game is about to start in about a half and hour and I'm supposed to be there to warm up and I get there and forgot my shoes. So I go home, get them, go back to the game and realize I am wearing the wrong color jersey, and so on. In dreams like that, I never actually make it back to where I need to be. I always wake up just before

but they're never really the same. When I'm sick, I will have the same dream that I wake up from every 10 minutes that starts back over again. It gets so repetitive I can't sleep and it makes it seem like it's my dreams keeping me awake rather than whatever it is I'm sick from.

Same as the above, I hate the dreams where I find I have to go to school for some reason (and I'm 31!) and I can't find everything I need in time; an alternate version has me trying to pack my bag to leave school and I can never finish getting everything in it, so I miss the bus. GAWD I've been out of school for years!

A more recent alternate is me getting ready to go on a family trip and, you guessed it, can't get everything ready in time so I make everyone late and it's usually like late afternoon by then, meaning we can't go anywhere. *sigh* All sorts of variants on the "can't-get-ready-in-time" dream.

But the most annoying is when I have to go to the bathroom in reality and this shows up in the dream--in the dream I keep going to the bathroom and can never relieve myself! Over and over! That happened this morning, so irritating!

i keep having naked in public dreams, usually at a shopping center.
dreams where i have to write up payment for bills.
also i hate those dreams where i go to a public bathroom that's too dirty to use

I have dreams where I'm a school-naked!

Ah, I forgot the bad bathrooms dreams. Usually when I have to go in a dream the bathroom is either wide open to the public or otherwise inappropriate (the toilet's too tall or small, it's really dirty, etc. etc. ad nauseam).

Yeah, I hate the "have to get somewhere but never actually go" dreams.

Ditto. I have that alllllllllllll the time. Some dreams the entrance to the toilets is a small gap in the wall i couldnt possibly get through -__-

But my most annoying repetitive dream is getting on the wrong train to somewhere i have no idea where and need to find my way back...or im late for the train and need to find out of a million platforms the next one weird stuff

Most repetitive:

Looking around and all of the sudden seeing a tornado is nearby, then turning around to run and there is another one in that direction. Then I look around, turning to get my bearings to find myself in a sort of center of a ring of tornado closing in. Not really frightening like nightmares are, but it always has me scrambling for cover. That one happens mabye 5-6 times a year since about 2001.

Most Annoying: Getting very small snippets of lucidity and then losing the dream or waking up as soon as I realize I am dreaming. Must have happened 10 freaking times the other night. Ah, well, the good side of this is probably that I am getting closer.

I have those dreams where I have to go to the bathroom so bad, but I keep heading to the bathroom to relieve myself and I wake up and realize that I have to actually get up and go do it. I get frustrated because it's like "I did that already!" Or when I wake up late to work in my dream and so when I wake up I'm all stressed.

Being guillotined is forever coming up in mine. So is exams!

When I was young a black cat with yellow eyes scratched me on my left hand almost every night for a few years.

well since its summer now ive had a dream when i have been going to school about 5 times in a week and a half
