Worst Nightmare

[Nwbie]

I had the same Chantix experience.
I was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery and decided it was the best opportunity to try and quit smoking. My habit was not that I wanted the relaxing smoke with after meal drinks and such-it was a light one up, while one was in the ashtray as I reached for the pack while I was on the phone making a sales call, all not even conscience of the actual "pleasure" aspects of the habit.
So after a couple nights of weird dreams I was to go in the next day for my surgery.
I was in a downhill race on the winding streets of San Francisco, laying down on some sort of large skateboard type contraption and dragging one foot to turn through the winding curves. I was doing great, had the lead but a friend of mine from high school -who I hadn't thought about in about 15 or so years - was coming up alongside as we flew down the winding streets. A long slow turning curve came up and we swapped the lead several times, then a short straightaway came up ending in a sharp right hand turn, I took a slight lead but my friend was unable to keep control and forced into my legs from the side sending me flying off the edge of a cliff tumbling down the side of the hill.
I woke up on the floor next to my bed, my wife had turned on the bedside lamp and was laughing at me and asking what the H was going on, as I looked up at her she gasped and said Oh My God.    I was bleeding from my eyebrow where I had slammed into the bedside table, my eye was full of blood from the black eye that was already starting to show.... I told her that - that F%##$$% Joe had cheated and I should have won and I wanted a rematch....  
That morning the surgery unit was laughing about my story for at least 10 minutes... I was glad I could be a sunny point in their day

Chantix is a wild ride for some people

Anytime I want to have wacky dreams, I eat a green stemmed banana. Works like a charm.

I had a nightmare once that I was tipping tea into a lake
I woke and I was not a colonial bounder

Am I not getting something, or are you just talking about the vitamin (B-6) boost from the banana giving you more vivid dreams?

Worst nightmare?

Water. Flood.
A recurring theme since my earliest childhood... being trapped on a small island in my local river and the flood is rising... deep, dark swift currents... or being on a ship that's sinking... being in a canal channel with a huge flood wave rolling in... sitting in a building that's about to get teared from it's foundation by a tsunami.
I never actually dream of drowning, it's just this terrible feel of imminent danger, being totally helpless and sensing the incredible sinister force below the waves.

I have a recurring one where the trigger of my Glock is getting heavier and heavier to pull as I'm shooting. I end up straining with two or more fingers on the trigger to squeeze a shot of. As far as I remember I'm only at the range shooting at targets, so I have no idea what that's all about.

I've had that one.  Usually in dreams that are like action movies. I'm shooting at the bad guys but as you say the trigger gets harder and harder to pull.

I had a nightmare once that I was flying a brewster at 20k.


It was awful. Haven't slept since.

I had a crazy dream where I was in some town and some friends were there as well, and dinosaurs were eating everyone, but they werent like regular dinosaurs, they were like really smart dinosaurs that were able to understand what people were saying.  I think it was people portrayed as dinosaurs in my dream.  but they were going around killing everyone, and me and some friends high tailed it up this creek into the woods where we ran into booby traps set my them.  we were hanging upside down and the velociraptors came up and started slicing us all open.  then I woke up.  I have a couple more that I want to post up here, when I get home from work.  dreams can be strange

I seem to have a lot of dreams about sharks trying to eat me or other people. Swimming pools, rivers, ponds, lakes, and obviously the ocean I have dreams about sharks attacking me or others. Kind of makes some sense because one of the few things I am terrified of is the ocean. Going out a little bit into the waves I'm fine with, but being way out at sea is terrifying for me. You can't see anything for miles but water. If you get stranded out there then there's almost no hope of anyone ever finding you. The most terrifying thing about the ocean for me is what lies beneath it. The ocean is a HUGE place and so deep! It's so deep that not even light can't penetrate it! Going under the water and looking down into nothing but black wonder what kind of creatures live down there, or looking off into the distance and seeing the same blue water forever and losing all depth perception... that's scary! It looks like it's not that far but that blue water goes on for MILES!

ugh, I've had some good ones...

Have one that ocurs every now and then where I dream I have gotten up, done the 3 S's to get ready for work.. go, get in the car, IN the cold winter weather (always seems to happen in the winter) then bam, the alarm goes off.. wakes me up.. and gotta do it all over again. for real this time though..

Also, on a disturbing side, not going to go into a lot of detail, but, i have a recurring dream that I have had near the same date every year,  since I was 17.. of all things, it is of a nuclear war occurring... Luckily, or not,  depending on how you view it, my family and I survive.. and are racing in our vehicle out of the area where fallout is likely to occur.. and as we are driving away, then I wake up..

The dream is much more detailed than that, and VERY vivid.. kinda freaks me out every time I have it

Creepiest dream is by far a case of sleep paralysis. Nothing like being completely immobile but conscious of your surroundings and feeling like some sinister presence is in your room. Haven't had one in a couple months now thankfully.

Been a long time but I used to get one of these a year or so. They were actually dreams because after multiple attempts to thrash myself awake I would sometimes find myself in a different place than I thought I was. I think these are what's called night terrors. They made me afraid to fall asleep again.

When I was 6 I started having terrible nightmares but then at some point while asleep I could take control and was never threatened and could shape my dreams and fly around like a bird. Eventually that went away in my late teens early 20's. wish I could still do it.

This is strange, I'v had the same one.

I frequently dream my teeth fall out. 

I have two. Those are the worst dreams... I am an adult and I start to feel my teeth move like when they became loose as a kid and then they all are coming loose and then a few come out then I wake up...

Many instances such as this reveal snippets of previous lives.   I know, I have had them since I was a little kid.
