All of my dreams are surreal. I've never had a nightmare. I've never had a good dream (including sex dreams). No matter what it is about, no matter what happens, something is seriously amis. Many of them include freakish creatures, combinations of other animals, impossible architecture, and gloomy weather. Almost all are inside and the few that have been outside are all at night. When I wake up I try to analyze them and usually just get a headache from it. Very few amke any sense int he context of my life.
Recently I had a dream that my inlaws came over. They went out in the back yard and my wife and I were sitting in the living room talking about whatever, waiting for them to come back. All of a sudden we heard them fighting pretty severly outside, almost like physically fighting (totally out of character for them). I jumped up and ran to the door and looked out at them. The mother-in-law was coming back inside and paired off with my wife, crying and angry. I went back to the door to see the father-in-law and he was in my pool, which was empty for some reason, and he couldn't get out. I tried to open the door to go out to him but I was too weak. I could barely lift my hand to the door knob and then I couldn't turn it. I called to my wife for help but I was to weak to speak. Then I woke up. My wife was sitting right there and I just said "I just had the weirdest dream." This was a few days after our son was born so we were only sleeping a couple hours at a time, and seeing a lot of her parents.
