Are you having dreams that are stranger than normal? , page 4

Been having apocalyptic dreams for a number of years now and they are increasing moreso lately.

When I get them they usually come in bursts of about three weeks. Often, strangely, they continue through the three week period like a serial. I have seen countless horrors and often wake up feeling very tired from them.

The themes of the dreams seem to repeat so it's quite easy to explain them.

They often start with going outside and seeing hundreds of UFOs, disk shaped and even more exotically shaped ships. Often there are fighter jets engaging them.

Debris rains down everywhere and no one is safe, not even people in their homes. This results in myself (in the dream) and occasionally others getting into a car and doing everything to get out of the combat zone.

Problem is, going into the countryside there is often a giant creature of some kind. Sometimes it is like the biological creature from Cloverfield (imagine my surprise when I saw a similar theme from a dream as a movie) and other times it's a Giant mechanical robot/creature. They're always destructive and terrifying.

Often, at this point the car runs out of fuel and "we" (random group of people not familiar to me) frantically search for another usable vehicle with accessible keys. This involves going into houses to look for the keys. Whilst doing this there is the sense that mass casualties have left a huge void as the houses are often empty and deserted.

One particularly unpleasant variance of this dream involved a group of people inside a house that were all huddled together. We (my group) was frantically trying to get them to leave with us because the creature was coming. I remember the others refusing to move saying they were sick of running and just wanted to die.

The last memory of this dream is driving away, looking back and seeing them all get squished and munched. Rage and pure terror was mixed and I think this factor helped burn the memory into my mind.

This dream cycle often ends in mountanous/foresty areas where survivors set up small camps and short wave radio is used for updates in regard to the location of agressors, i.e. giant creatures and agressive UFOs.

Fear and fatigue are predominent feelings from the dream when I wake.

This has been going on for a few years now and are quite odd. I can wake up many times in a night from this and yet going back to sleep just continues the dream. Likewise, when they start, I can expect them to continue, each night, like a series for a period of time.

I also remember a conversation from one of the dreams that for some reason has ingrained itself in my mind. I remember saying to someone (in dream) "What do you do when there's a giant creature rampaging trying to get you?"

The answer from the dream avatar...

"Think like a mouse"

And I'm never that clever or profound...
