    Another interesting little thing. Sometimes when i wake in the middle of a dream that i can remember i would often think about it for a while, hoping to get back to sleep. A lot of these times i would think where i would like the dream to go but don't really plan yet sometimes my dreams will go the way i wished when i fall back asleep..

    The first one: My family were trying to turn me against my Dad for some reason. In the dream, I kept on having flashbacks to past events (in the dream world, if you understand) where he was violently angry, we were burying a body in the forest. My Dad in real life is a funny guy and a gentleman, so it messed with my head to see him like that in the dream.

    The second one: I was cuddling with this petite brunette. Suddenly there were detectives gathered around and they were all laughing at me. Then this guy comes in and says that I'm innocent (not sure of what). Suddenly he's in the bathroom (Which is made of glass walls) and he takes an old fashioned cutt-throat razor and slits his throat. It suddenly cuts away to me and my ex-gf watching it on a huge TV screen and she's excitedly saying "The demon made him do it! Look, look!" and the demon came on the screen. In the dream I started freaking out and screaming. I looked away from the TV but I could still see the demon. I woke up then.

    Hugo, i really understand that stuff. The most disturbing element in my dreams, for me anyway, is people i know becoming unrecognisable in the way they act. As you said there your Dad is a gentlemen it must be horrifying see him act in an evil manner, that's quite similar to my own dreams where people change and it's definitely the hardest of the bad dreams to shake off.

    It's grand when a spicy dream picks up where it left off, which I've been lucky to experience every now and then.

    Methinks that dreams should not be taken literally. Alternatively, they can introduce thoughts to ponder, although their origins may be irrational. (Not sure where these comments came from, other than the first few sips of my java have yet to take hold after a late Friday night)

    Hope Hugo is taking notes, as this could play for an interesting short-short story plot.

    Unrecognizable? Physical appearance? Or personality? Both?

    Wise choice. Consider case studies? Both Sigmund and Anna Freud interpretations prescientific. Too subjective. Nonsense mostly.

    Methinks that Hugo had a huge pizza and went sleepy-dreaming afterwards.

    Hangs head in forgetful shame. :o

    In the dream, my older sister was suddenly living in a crappy ground floor apartment in Dublin's inner city. I was visiting her. She went to buy milk or something but came back with this sinister character. She asked me to pay him. I offered like €5 but he just laughed and wanted more money. I gave him more and more money but it just wasn't enough. As I panicked, he would laugh. Then it became clear that my sister would be the payment, if you understand me. I felt so helpless. Suddenly he was gone and I understood that I ended his life, although I don't remember it per se. A mostly upsetting dream but it redeemed itself in the end.

    This cluster has been going on for about a week or more now. I wonder what causes it.

    Not sure what may be causing yours Hugo. Perhaps they were always there, but now that you are remembering and posting them, they are easier to recall?

    Could be. I don't have a regular sleeping pattern. I tend to sleep like 4/5 hours on week nights and 10 or more on weekends. Could be part of it.

    Alternative sleeping patterns may be the norm for a segment of the population, so your pattern would be normal for them. My patterns are alternative too, and have been for several years.

    I don't know if this could be it, but I know that when I'm stressed, even if I'm not conscious of it, I get clusters of horrific dreams. Could you be lowkey stressed about something? I'm actually so bad at recognising my stress levels that back-to-back nights of bad dreams and bad posture are usually my flashing red siren for stress awareness.
