Lying here in bed, holy shit wtf I hope this doesn't get some weird hellish twist where I die and wake up again "for real" this time.
The second I close my eyes my mind goes off on a tangent of increasing absurdness each with an ending where I try to kill myself in order to wake up. That's the worst.... knowing you're dreaming and still having no control, so you try to end it only to wake up recurringly. I'll log the sequence.

First dream starts off fine and dandy, got this nice pozzy, like a double story house, huge open plan with lofts as the upper floors. A recurring theme in my dreams is living in a half nice half derelict house, the lower floors in this one are derelict. Other times the house is normal, but it connects with a hallway to another normal suburban house which is filthy and haunted. Sometimes the house is fine, but there is am unused weird 4 bedroom house in the garage of this one.
Anyway... don't know of that dream is recurring or just recurred ad nausium tonight.

Back to the dream, starts off with my best mate showing up with 3 girls, quickly turns into a nice porn dream where I start getting intimate with the youngest girl... suddenly I ask her, her age and she tells me she's not 18 yet, I freak out and she asks her mother to confirm, yes, it turned into an orgy now where my friend is getting busy with her mother... they start lauging and tell me it's a practical joke she's actually 20.
Next scene... more and more "friends" start arriving at my house... start taking liberties, getting drunk, stealing stuff... until disaster strikes, my best mate somehow has a medical emergency where he physically deflates into a jelly baby sorta human shaped living breathing jelly baby about 10cm tall. We have to keep him alive by keeping him under running water, haha another fucking practical joke.
At this stage there are about 50 people in my house going wild and partying, I walk into a room and my shag from earlier is sitting there with her friends and some dude next to her who's her new better shag. Things quickly escalate, I start going all emo, whip out my trusty leatherman and cut my wrists, doesn't work so I jump from the loft trying to break my neck.... repeat about 5 times and this is where the waking up fuckery starts.

"ok, you killed yourself in your dream, you're awake now... on a jet ski on a tsunami slamming into a huge rock"

"Haha no fuck you, actually you killed youself and now you're in hell"

"Just kidding, your attempt failed, you only went into a coma, meet your wife of 10 years, that shag from earlier"

"Wake up! We're paramedics, you were riding motorcycle behind your buddy and crashed into him.... sorry, he didn't make it, and you're a little brain damaged now, walk it off"

These are only some clips of the most coherent stuff I can make out.

Brains can be assholes sometimes.

Inside your head must be an incredibly interesting place to be

@Urist That's really some crazy stuff going on in your dream, like you're experiencing other people's sudden tragedies.

Can't really call that mare a dream. First time I can remember one so clearly, also first time I can confidently say that I dream in colour. Started this thread literally seconds after forcing myself awake to try and capture it.
In a twilight haze between awake and asleep for the first few moments. Feels like reading through it again triggers the synapses making me remember the dream as if it was reality.
It was one of those nightmares where you realize you're dreaming so you kill yourself to wake up... so you "wake up"... rinse repeat, like your asshole brain is playing a practical joke on you.
Bizarre experience... to say the least... give it a go.
Sleepless tonight.

Would you say you're experiencing lucid dreaming? Only because you mention being aware of dreaming.

You know I also imagined the unconscious mind a slave and it's a scary thought.

Don't know about you but I know very little about the dreamer, the unconscious self. Wanting to learn is another reason for dabbling in the paranormal. Helps to feel a little deeper connection with this other, enigmatic self. I believe this self possesses so much more knowledge than me.

Not lucid, my ex is heavy into that stuff, with lucid you're in control like superman.
I was aware, but not in control

Nah, you don't have to be in control during a lucid dream, only aware that you're dreaming. Started reading up on the phenomenon after someone mentioned it on another forum.

FYI I never kill myself to wake up. Other reasons sometimes - but not for waking up. Reminds me of the Falling in Reverse song Losing my life. He says he kills himself sometimes - the purpose being so that he can wake up.

I can say that my dreams are not as bad as that. Not that I remember them - but I am never left with the feelings that one would leave you with. I have violent dreams - and sex dreams - but no one has turned into a jellybaby as a prank. Mostly my dreams are frustrating. They repeat - I get stuck in a scene and it replays over and over. Weird people and fantastical places - but I think it is just the mind saying - stuff this real-life stuff - I want some fun.

I just realised something - I am a lot more comfortable talking about sex than I am sharing my dreams. Curious.

I had a wake dream. By this I mean I wasn't asleep but on my way to dreamland. There was a huge field with houses in the distance. The grass was brown and looked like wheat. There were cows/cattle in the field and they were dropping dead as I watched. Even near the houses. Very surreal experience. When I looked at the dead cattle - they were already covered with maggots. So it was as though they had been dead for a long time and standing up - only to fall when I looked at them.
