With all of this Magic Railroad stuff going on, maybe it was PT Boomer I know the feeling. When I was younger, I once had a lucid dream of a black bloblike thing making its way over me from the foot of my bed. I remember having the sensation of not being able to move and eventually panicking. Like yourself I turned on the light. Once the rational part of my brain kicked in, I realized that it was a dream and went back to bed (I seem to recall leaving the light on, though ). It seemed that real to me too.

I've heard of that phenomenon, I forget what it's called but it's not unknown. Sceptics suggest it's the reason why so many people think they've been abducted by aliens.
I had a weird dream last night in which I met the Creator of the Universe. Depressingly, it was a siphonophore (think a Portuguese Man O' War) about the size of the solar system. Didn't say much, just ate gas and excreted planets.

I had this dream during late December 2006. I was looking around a library and I stumbled across a book that interested me. It was a 'How to Draw Manga' book (I believe this was the cover[/url]). I picked it up and look at it, but it turned out to be a mutant book! Instead of information and tutorials about how to draw manga or it's techniques, it turned out that it featured black and white steam locomotive photos taken during the BR days !

I had a bizarre dream once where I had a phobia of Mounties. This was particularly unfortunate, as part of the dream involved my being appointed British Ambassador to Canada. I once had a rather fun dream I was Bertie Wooster, as well. I occasionally have strange dreams involving my being a sleuthing Conservative cabinet minister. It's like being in a series of particularly bland political thrillers. In the most recent one, the Minister of Agriculture was embezzling EU funds. Like I say, they're pretty bland.

I've had a share of strange dreams lately. Just last night I had a dream of Super Mario RPG.
The gameplay (of which I won't elaborate) and title screen were different. Instead of the green pipe roster thing in the game, there was a fortress looking doorway, and you used the d-pad to scroll through the saved games.
Very strange...

This is going to be the weirdest of weird dreams in my opinion:
Last night, I dreamt I was pregnant! Then, later in the dream I found out that there was no way of letting it come out towards the end of the nine-month term, to which I think I replied something like: 'Can't you give me an epidural/caesarean?'
Very, very wierd!!!

I dreamt of my father last night. He passed away in 1990. He didn't speak or anything - just went about his business. It wasn't until this morning when I looked at the calendar that I realized that today would've been his birthday.
It's funny how the subconscious mind works.

I think the worst kinds of dreams are when something really, really great happens to you, such as winning the lottery or getting the girl of your dreams, and then you wake up, and don't quite realize it was only a dream until later. You'll be brushing your teeth, smiling about your good fortune, then reality sets in and your beaming face slowly droops down to the floor, and you exclaim to yourself, "DAMMIT!!!"

I used to have a lot of insane dreams, mainly about six legged rabbits and two headed frogs. One recent dream I had was when I was at someone's house watching TV and the show turned to the end credits. Then a closing logo appeared and from it screen it shouted something like LIMBONDER! before whispering 'productions'. It frightened the hell out of me.
Of course the scariest dream I must've had was when I was a child and in my back garden several 2's surrounded me and started to duplicate like germs.

As far as nightmares go, mine were pretty standard as a child. There would be something I'd be running from (a snake, a crazy person, etc) and I would either be going in slow motion (and the pursuer would be at normal speed) or I'd trip and fall. I remember having one where I actually outran whatever was chasing me, only to be run down by an Asian man driving an 18-wheeler. And yes, I looked both ways before crossing the dream street. That sucker came out of nowhere. This was even before I'd heard the stereotype about Asians being bad drivers.

Yeah I get those kinds of nightmares too although I was once chased by a madman holding a two headed snake. I dreamt last night that I was in a field and a ram had escaped and was heading straight towards me. I tried to leap over the gate but instead got stuck on the fence with the ram looking up at me in curiousity.

Lately I've been having really weird dreams. But the strangest ones were the simplest. My favorite one was when I dreamed that I could play the guitar mildly well. And I was so proud of myself, that I actually still felt proud for a little while after I woke up.

About a month ago, I had a dream where I went to a SiF meeting in Richmond London. We went to some non-railway related museum of some sort.
It was really weird, there aren't any Railway places in Richmond except the National Rail train station.
I remember I got into the same car as Ryan, Ryan was sitting in the passenger seat reading a magazine of some sort and I was seating at the back. I found myself driving the car from the back seat, Ryan was so busy reading that he didn't realize what was going on.
Then I woke up.
Another SiF dream I had months ago was where some of us were hanging out in a kitchen talking and we were waiting for more members to arrives, I can just remember who was their: Myself, Loey Machan (who was doing most of the talking), Ryan, CTX, Chris, and that's all I can remember.
Really strange.

I had a wierd dream once where I was walking through central park, my ex-GF was next to me and she was actually nice. We were both having a bit of a nice chat until suddenly she dissapeared in a gust of wind. Soon I found myself starring at flashbacks of my former relationship flying past me like birds going south for the winter. Ironically this was the night I broke up and the night went for a stroll in Central Park, in November .

I usually have strange dreams involving me waiting or doing the same thing for like 8 hours until I'm woken up by metabolism. For example last night I went on the same roller coaster the whole time I was sleeping.
I can't recall strange dreams...I usually forget them after a day.

I had a Power Rangers dream, now this was weird.
It was one of those Good Rangers vs. Evil Rangers episodes, and Mighty Morphin White Ranger was against an Evil White Ranger which was never really done in that Series.
Well the weird thing comes when the bad guys lost, Zedd was like Goldar and co because Emperor Palpatine was the leader and Kimberly was dressed as Rita and Palpatine was going to elect his new Queen when I woke-up.

Okay, I figure Orange soda + sleep equals drugs, because this gets extremely screwy, so bear with me. First off, my role in "There's something about Mighty Mac" has given me a bit of understanding about the anime Ranma 1/2. For those who don't know, it's about a boy who falls into an ancient spring in China where a girl drowned and as a result he becomes said girl. (Or something to that effect) Anyhoo, I dreamt that while I was in a local schools cafeteria I tried to get some popcorn, but my mother stopped me so I got irritated and threw a chair around, and for some reason everyone said I was using my "intimidate" ability (From Pokemon games). Suddenly I was teleported to the spring from Ranma and I became said girl from the anime. After finding I could inexplicably change back to a male I met up with JarrahWhite though I don't know him in real life. He was Chinese in this dream though, mainly to fit with the theme I guess. Considering he's a fan of the anime he told me about it, and then I awoke. Strange huh?

I had a weird dream last night, it was a Star Wars dream which I hadn't had in ages.
It involved Han Solo who was a quite young, he had really long hair and was infact played by Jason David Frank (For those who don't know, was Tommy in Power Rangers).
Han was with his all time love, who I've no idea who she was and he and her were at this space port of some kind. I was watching it on the TV, anyway. Some Stormtroopers arrive, then Darth Vader comes in and kills the Woman. Han screams his head off, and then is stunned by a Stormtrooper which leaves Han out stunned. Vader and his Troopers then left, Han samehow managed to crawl not long after Vader left.
Han hadn't gotten far, when I woke up. I then told my Mum about it, and she'd reckon Jason David Frank would make a good young Han Solo; then I said he looks nothing like Harrison Ford and JDF is 35 now, and Harrison was about 33 when he started portraying Han Solo.
Weird, but I don't think Han will be in the Live Action TV Series. But it would be cool to see a younger version of him, and a bit more to seeing how and Chewie got together on visual then in novels.

I had a weird dream last night where I was at an odd convention and I recall there being a presentation about railways which I didn't see much of because I dropped off while it started.
Later on I was outside and to the right of me was a criss cross wired fence and ahead was a sheep. Being curious I climbed halfway up the fence because I thought it were a ram and it was as he was trying to jump up after me. 5 minutes later my family arrives and tells me that I have to climb to the tree near the doorway and wait there until the ram leaves and then when it did everything became hazy...
