In one I had,I was exploring a hotel with some friends. When we reached a certain portion of the hotel, I noticedthe floor would move slightly (we were fairly high up). Next proceeded to to a balconly on the side of the hotel. I looked over to where the balony met the side of the building, it was offset slightly, the offset increasing until it slid of off about a foot. Suddenly, I hear explosions and notice the building is falling. Shortly, the whole balcony cracks off backwards and me with it. As I fell, I realized a very important fact, I was asleep and having a bad dream.

Usually, the first few teeth are fun to pull out, then I realize that I have no teeth. Horrifying nightmares involving monsters and zombies or fighting to stay alive are, IMHO, invigorating and I enjoy retelling them. Natural disaster dreams like enormous waves hitting my house or tornado dreams always seem the most real to me. In the tornado dreams I always find myself saying, "It's really happening this time, I am not dreaming!" with joy. Then, to my dismay, I wake up and I really was dreaming. There was a time when we were in a severe weather watch. My husband called me outside and there really was a funnel cloud forming in the clouds directly over us. It fizzled but that wasn't a dream. The most horrifying nightmare I ever had was when I was about ten, an invasion of Snakemen (See the movie Dreamscape), had killed everyone around me and surrounded me in the street. The sun was so bright, I couldn't keep my eyes open and everytime I tried to stand up and run, I would get dizzy, spin, and fall again. I awoke when they had gotten within arms length but never forgot that dream.
The two types of dreams I hate are; when you are trying to defend yourself but it feels like you are trying to punch someone through water. The other is when I can't save my kids from something. One in particular, I dreamt that my 6 yr old daughter broke away from me in a garage parkinglot and a guy backing out of his spot ran over her head. It was horrifying and I woke up shaking and crying but it served a good purpose. I don't believe in psychic dreams or anything, it just made me more alert because it stayed with me for so long. A while after that, we were in a parkinglot and that daughter, excited to get to her birthday party, bolted out the door and almost ran right into the car that was backing out. It was a close enough scare that I pulled her down in a tackle. The guy even got out of his car a little shooken up and telling me he was sorry he didn't see her. I certainly didn't fault him for it and assured that she was down because of me. Whoa I am shaking now just talking about it.

I'm the same way with regards to natural disaster dreams (almost always tornados). I think they're soo cool. It's because I want to see one in person--which is a little twisted because I really don't want all the property damage and possible injury/loss of life that accompany them; and I certainly don't want *my* house blown down or damaged...but I'd still love to see one.

I had a dream where I thought it was a tornado at first, and Dream Me was thinking "Cool!"
Then it started glowing and turned out to be invaders from another dimension and I thought "Not cool."
And I ran like heck.

lol wanting to see a twister is twisted?
I really want to see one in full bloom as well. Here is a burn I will never forget. We had spent the day at the beach, jetskiing and BBQing. My husband was in the car in front of me, towing the jetskis. The day was called off early due to nasty weather rolling in. When we got to the first gas station, he jumped out of the truck and ran to me yelling, "did you see it? did you see it?" As it turned out, while we were driving along the coast, with the storms just to our right had formed a water spout. All I had to do was look right and I missed it. It was way offshore but according to my husband and cousin, unmistakably a waterspout

I've had similar dreams--not really nightmares either, in a lot of ways fun--with me back in elementary school but as my current 24-year-old self. In the dreams I never seem to be out of place, nor does anyone else see me as out of place despite the fact I'm clearly older and bigger than all my classmates...
