> [@Mississippienne](#): > > I had a dream in which me and this girl were deeply in love and blissfully happy. Then this other girl, who was jealous of our happiness, lied to my girlfriend and told her I had been unfaithful. My girlfriend broke up with me, saying she could never trust me again. I was sobbing and sobbing, desperately trying to make her understand that I loved her and would never cheat on her. > > When I woke up, I was still genuinely upset and it took me several minutes to remember that not only had there been no breakup, but that I had never had a girlfriend and I am not, in fact, a lesbian. I swear to god though, if I ever come across that lying bitch in a future dream… I laughed. I showed my husband. I said “this makes me spending the morning mad at you because I dreamed you cheated on me seem reasonable.” He said “no, it just means there is someone else that can’t seperate dreams from reality.” ---

You shouldn’t scare people like that. I read your story and my heart was pounding and I was breathing harder. Then, I started projecting it on my own life with my own daughter. In the thirty seconds it took me to read that, I dreamed of how I was going to kill the mother and dispose of the body without getting caught. I was quickly working out scenarios when I was halted by the surprise paragraph. Now I find out you don’t have kids or a wife and I am still married and at home with my daughter. What is this world coming to? ---

> [@](#): > > His mother exists, however. She’s an acquaintance that I haven’t met in years, and never have been my gf or something similar. She isn’t a foreigner, either. And AFAIK, she’s still childless. Well, if this were a B movie, the dream would be a _ **sign** _ that you should go look her up where you will discover that you are really soulmates so that you can marry her. . . . . and _then_ she can divorce you and run off to Korea with your son. ---

Let’s just say I’ll never look at Jell-O the same way again. :eek: Hey, last night I dreamt I was watching some kind of blaxploitation flik where a guy turned into an animated, mahogany, art-deco statue of “Justice” (albeit a male one). He was swinging around an oversized gavel as a weapon against corrupt cops and/or mobsters. In the middle of the courtroom. Looked like a cross between “Steel” and the [robot from “The Phantom Creeps.”](http://davidszondy.com/future/robot/phantomcreeps.htm) I _really_ don’t want to think that there’s an analogue of me out there who had the chance to see _that_ with his own eyes. :eek: ---

> [@ultrafilter](#): > > If dreams represent our life experiences in parallel universes, there are some _really_ weird universes out there. If there are infinite parallel universes, any combinations is possible! Infinite moneys, infinite weridness. I have a weird dream last night too. I dreamt somehow I was ordered to “fall in at the parade square” but not in uniform or full battle order, but in civilian clothing, with our headgear. I panicked, wondering what the heck is going on, especially when in reality I am not in the army (anymore). Perhaps somewhere there’s an Extrakun stuck in a concentration camp or something. Another common frequent werid reality dream was that I somehow time-travelled back in time, ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > I hereby present the request for elaboration. 🙂 I have had a sleep-walking problem since I was a child. I went to Tulane as an undergraduate and lived in a dorm right in the middle of campus. It was on the main quad across from the University Center. One night, I went to bed extremely sleep deprived from studying for finals over the few days prior. The next thing I knew, I was standing right in the middle of the main quad in nothing but my bikini underwear (I am a guy). I was only half-awake so my mind wasn’t functioning that well and I started to panic (hard!). The only thing on my mind was to get somewhere, anywhere. I took off running for the University Center and made it inside. There were a few people around but I ran past them and into the bathroom. After I was in the bathroom, I started to come to my senses and realized that I had a problem. I didn’t know why or how I got out of my dorm room and didn’t know if I would be able to get back in. I put off the inevitable for about an hour, got up my strength, and took a mad dash out of the University Center, across the quad, up two flights of stairs. By this time, it was about 7:00 and plenty of staff and students were around and laughing at me. I finally got to my dorm roon, turned the handle and it opened much to my relief. I had just lived everyone’s nightmare. ---

In order to find the good in every situation, **Shagnasty** , consider yourself fortunate that you weren’t sleeping in the buff that night. ---

> [@Big Bad Voodoo Lou](#): > > I once had a dream that this really smart, ambitious, overachieving kid from my high school kept sneaking into my house to steal my guitar amps. In the dream, I’d wake up and feel freaked out and violated because we had been burglarized, but only my amp was stolen. I’d buy another one, lock all the doors and windows, but he’d eventually take that one too. After that, I could never stand that kid in real life. He was pretty obnoxious, and once I called him a “lousy amp thief.” Of course he had no idea what I was talking about, but it ended the argument. I’m thinking that could be the pilot episode for a wacky anime series 😃 . we really really need an anime smilie for this board. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Years ago, long before I married and even longer before I had a daughter, I had a dream that I had a baby - it was so vivid, I really felt the loss when I woke up - it was unnerving. > > But not as unnerving as the time I dreamed my friend Mary had a baby, and her mother gave it to me because I was more responsible than Mary. Which I am, but still… I had a dream once where Boy (who I attended junior high and early high school) met Girl (who I met at College and was a Senior while I was a Freshman) got married, got pregnant, had a baby and gave baby to me to babysit for a few days. Shortly thereafter Girl drove Boy to wherever it is that military personnel go when they are about to go overseas and they were killed in a horrendous car accident. This meant that when I started my Sophomore year of college, I had a new baby with me, which I was keeping in my dorm room. I distinctly remember adjusting the baby carrier so that I could use my keychain thingy to unlock the door so that I could get into the dorm. It was a relief to wake up and know that I was not responsible for anyone’s baby. ---

I had a weird dream that crossed over to reality too. I was about thirty years old, and living in the south-west when my parents and eight year old brother stopped by to visit. This was a huge shocker, since they’d died in a car accident when I was four\*. I spent the whole dream and about a minute after waking wondering how to tell them that they were dead, and how to get them to “go into the light.” I’m not even a believer in ghosts or the afterlife, so who knows why my brain thought all that up. \*(this was all completely made up for the dream since 1. My parents are still alive and 2. I don’t even have a brother 3. I’m only 23 and am in the north-east) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-sons-mother-is-moving-to-south-korea-with-him/321980.md?page=1)
