Surprised I haven’t posted here, but I guess I’ll share the weirdest, most detailed I’ve ever had, and a recurring theme in my dreams that is… pretty gruesome.
The first happened when I was in high school, and I’ll never forget it because it was so… weirdly detailed and insane.
I dreamed that I was at a party at my brothers house, which is already a little weird. To those of you who don’t know, my brother is 17 years older than I am, and was a middle school teacher at the time. Anyway, I’m at this party, and my friends are there and some of the kids from his class were there too (again, super weird - he would never do this type of thing. Yet somehow not the weirdest part of this dream). So we’re all drinking and dancing - think “hollywood party” if you’re familiar with the teen movie montage. Finally, I stop and announce to the group that I’m going to go get smokes (again. No sense. I was 16 at the time and was smoking, but couldn’t buy yet).
Anyway, I walk out onto my brother’s porch. The house he had at the time was along a very rural stretch of road in the middle of a holler (yaaay, redneck points). Basically you can see the road for about an 1/8th of a mile down one way, then a 1/16th of a mile another way, the house is next to the road, on the other side is a river. And there’s a car that’s just driving up and down this road. Literally it will go up, turn around at one place, then drive back until its out of site, then turn around. It’s a blue minivan. I watch it for awhile cause it’s weird, and finally it stops in the middle of the road in front of my brothers house.
A man gets out, dressed in like, african safari gear. Khaki button up, khaki shorts, one of those weird round hats. Anyway, he slides back the minivan door, and comes out with one of those big laundry buckets that you’ve probably seen college aged kids with. Thick plastic, rope handles. He runs up the steps to the porch and drops it on the planks, and I can see a lot of water splashing out of it. He stops, looks me dead in the eye and says…
“Hi. I’m a wombat biologist. In this bucket I have a very rare southeastern wombat. I have to carry it around in this bucket with a baby alligator and some water, because as everyone knows, wombats and alligators are best friends. But I’ll let you guys look at it.”
Out of no where, my brother and everyone in the party is outside looking at this bucket, and everyone seems really excited to see this wombat. We all peer in, and inside is… well it basically looks like a lizard ate a basketball. If I squint I can see its the crocodile, from just the nose and snout sticking out, but otherwise its just this perfectly round, scaly ball in the middle of a puddle of water.
There’s a moment of silence.
We realize that the alligator has eaten the wombat.
Then, finally, out of no where, the water explodes out of the bucket and showers everyone in the first few rows. Then, standing in front of us, is a green, scaly version of thundaro from the thundercats.
There’s another moment of silence.
Someone inside the house yells “I saw that on adult swim!”
Then the music starts up and we all start dancing with green thundaro.
Then I wake up, feeling really, really confused.
I’ll give that a few minutes to sink in.

Ok. So on (kind of?) a less weird note, I don’t have any recurring dreams, but a recurring thing in a lot of my dreams is that I get my teeth knocked out. It’s almost always violent, someone punching or kicking me in the mouth. I feel the teeth get punched into my mouth, then watch them fall to the ground with a lot of blood. I’m not sure how off that is compared to the first story though.
