Ever since I saw the BDM 2 years ago, I've experienced wierd nightmares that had to do with Serenity.

1. This isn't so much as a nightmare, but more of just a sad dream. It hit me the night when I first saw the BDM. After Wash was impaled by the Reaver spike and his crew had left, his soul had risen up from his body.It floated to Boros where it talked to people, drunk alcohol, gambled sung songs and rejoiced. After it was done, it floated back to Miranda, and lay back in Wash's body.

2. The First nightmare I had happened a year later,and this one felt all too real.It was the day before Serenity The Sequel was opening in theaters and I was the #1 ticket holder.Instead of placing the ticket in my wallet, (like a smart person would of done) I carried it around in my hand all day. I was taking care of my usual chores and responsibilities in order to kill time.The day was winding down until it was an hour before the movie was going to open and I decided to use the restroom in a department store. When I left the restroom I noticed that the ticket in my hand was gone.I couldn't find it anywhere. So I realized I had to go back to the bathroom to search for it. When I went back , the bathroom was dirtier then when I left it. There was crud all over the floor, toilet paper strung all over the place, cockroaches and people standing around. So I had to search this entire place to find it.But before you know it, it was too late, the movie had already started and had ended. Some of the people who had saw it, came into that very restroom and gave me spoilers to the film. And that's when I woke up screaming.

3.My second nightmare came several months after. It was the Serenity The Sequel was released. It went straight to DVD instead of to theaters. Either though I was a little disappointed, I was still happy to go to the nearest video store to rent it. When I did and brought it home, my brother popped it in to check it out and it was horrific.
What I'm about to say to you is 100% true and not made up:
First off , most of the original cast and crew were not in there original roles. Mark Shepard was cast as Malcom Reynolds, Alan Tudyk was cast as Inara and Jewel Staite played as a gangster(She had cornrolls, gold teeth and she kept flippin' up gang signs when she talked). Second, there was no CG in the movie. So in other words , no firefly class ship. Instead, they drove around in a blue mini van solving crimes (sort of like Scooby Doo).I forgot the middle part of the dream, but when the time came to unmask the perp, it turned out to be Joss Whedon. And that's when I woke up screaming.

4. Some one had told me that when you have a nightmare about being chased by the police, usually that meant you were running from a major change in your life. In my dreams I was being chased by Alliance FEDs and instead of using guns, they would use those Sonic Air Rifles. When they finally caught up to me, they brought me onto this Alliance Cruiser and threw me into a jail cell. I noticed that there was one other person in the cell with me, and either though his face was mostly hidden in shadow, I could tell it was Joss Whedon. Who started singing Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden. And that's when I woke up Screaming.

So dd any of you have any dreams/nightmares you would like to share? At least ones that were as weird as mine?

Ouch. Nightmares not good.

But on the bright side, dream Joss Whedon is inspired by your horrified despair and cackles at his role in it. You may yet inspire a dream television series or movie.

I had similar nightmares to that except, I was usually chased by reavers instead of Alliance FEDs (and minus Joss whedon).

The most memorable one I can think of happened to me about a year and a half ago when I was still in Chicago. I worked for this standard office with the cubicles and white walls, you name it. Well anyway , my nightmare took place there. So it started off just how my job routinely starts, that's until lunch break came around.As soon as the clock hit 2:30, everyone slowly got out of their seats, layed down on the ground and started to dissinergrate. I did the exact same thing and as I was laying on my stomach, head facing the white wall, thats when my breathing started to slow down. Soon enough I was suffocating.
When I woke up,I didn't necessarily scream, more of gasping for air. After I was done doing that , I picked up the phone , called my boss and told him I quit. And that was the last time I had that nightmare.

BTW, Savage Garden,Really?

I have sadly never had a single dream about Firefly or Serenity. however I do have a recurring bad dream that still makes me wake up freaked out though I don't know why. Basically in the dream I'm back at high school and I haven't handed in major History and English assignments so I basically fail year 12. I don't know why I wake up soaked in sweat from this one, as I handed in all my assignments, and year 12 was more than 20 years ago. I think it relates to my fear of disappointing myself and others.
Another recurring dream is that I am 2 hours late for work coordinating at afterschool care...which is a 3.5 hour shift. the freaky thing about this is a) I haven't coordinated or directed a program for 6 years, and in the dream it's an afterschool care I ran in 1998, b) I've only once been late for work and that was because I had to get a spider bite taken care of, so I arranged for someone to cover me till I made it to work. I keep having these dreams and they are not usually connected to stressful periods like exam times or dates when I have assessments due.

I have a nightmare similar to yours. I'm in high school (I left it over 30 years ago) and I can't get my locker open to get my books for the next class. And I end up climbing this endless stairway with all sorts of gaps or I miss the class entirely.

Sometimes though I'm back in college and I'm getting a second degree and I miss class because I can't get there despite trying very hard.

Any one around here a dream interpreter or a psychologist?

I got one for ya. Back in the day, I had to finish this Ethnographry power point presentation for my College Anthropology class. It was towards the end of the semester and I was doing so-so. I needed this powerpoint presentation to save me. I had gotten the project done and informed my group members. After wards, I decided to go to sleep and this is what my dream entails:

I was sitting in the back of my Anthropology class,but I noticed a couple of differences made to it. First off, everyone was there. Not only my original classmates, but even classmates from my high school were in there. Second, everyone was facing the room in a quiet manner which is unusual for my class. When my eye followed their heads to the front of the room, I saw well fit blond man who was wearing a blue uniform. That isn't my Anthro teacher, that's Commander Harken! Even though his back was turned to me, I knew it was him. Then that's when the entire class turned in their chairs to look back at me. I realized that it was my turn to present my presentation. I got up , looked down at my feet and saw that I was only wearing my cleanest pair of white briefs. When I looked back up I started to feel anxious. My feet floated me off the ground and towards the front of room where I stood in front of the entire class and Harken. I remember someone switching off the lights. I faced the classroom and Harken stood in front of me with his arms crossed. His face mostly covered in shadow except his eyes which peered through in a fierce stare. When he uttered, 'Begin', That's when I woke up screaming.

What do y'all gotta say about that?

CURSE YOU JOSS WHEDON! CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL!

BTW, I do have a faint remembrance of a dream featuring Gina Torres

, but might as well keep it to my lonesome. They're probably little ones patrolling this site.

I'm of the notion that first dream interpretation is all guesswork with nothing hard fact behind it, and second that dreams don't MEAN anything. Evolutionarily they might have evolved to let animals "practice" for events that might happen to them. With the invention of civilization, we therefore have nightmares about failure and social mistakes, in addition to the usual chasing stuff/being chased/sex dreams that come from the more primitive instinct stuff.

They sure are fun to talk about though.

My dreams are normally just weird or inexplicable. Usually I'm not anywhere in them, they're about random nonexistent people. Sometimes it's just colours or unreadable text on paper. Generally people don't have faces, or if they do, they don't look like whoever my brain has labeled them as, but this is never alarming or important to the dream. Mostly I just think my brain is lazy and doesn't fully realize an imaginary world while I'm asleep. Or maybe I'm unusually observant when asleep and notice inconsistencies.

I did dream about Firefly/Serenity like maybe two days ago. It's not often, and usually in the sense of "I need to remember that for my story!" and then I never do. I wasn't present in the dream, like usual, it was something about the companion guild standards and regulations. And it was a really good idea. :(

If I do happen to be in my dreams, it's usually it's obvious it's a dream so it's more like it's me playing an avatar me in a video game. It's never from a first-person perspective, always from the viewpoint of a camera. I'm usually in complete control, and if something goes wrong, I start over until I get it right.

I've had maybe four nightmares in my life (at least that I'm aware of). One involved me using a blender on some vampires, and the disturbing amount of violence and blood is more what made it a nightmare than me being scared inside the dream. The other three I think were the result of sleep paralysis.

Has anyone ever dreamed that they died? Not like you suddenly wake up all startled from a long fall or from something that would have killed you, but the dream slowly fades to black, and your breathing becomes shallow and stops, and you are for all intents and purposes unconscious? And then you wake up later, and remember the whole thing, and you're lying in bed all terrified because you realize that you were LUCKY to wake up?

Some of you people need counselling, Most of you should just stay off the drugs.

I love it, it's like wiping your ass with silk.
