Had my first Alien dream last night xD

Interesting and thanks for sharing. Dreams are certainly interesting. They  can be all over the map- I had a similar dream where the adventure was almost over and I realized that I had to go to work. So I went home to bed, got up, did the routine and then my alarm went off and I realized it was all a dream.

Weird experience but pretty cool over all!

ALIEN dreams, yeah :)

Mine scare me almost stupid...they're truly terrifying, and i'll wake up, sorta, and be paralyzed with fear that if I move I'll attract notice. Then I fully wake up and just enjoy the residue of the terror-thrill...I love/hate them :)

M577 - It sounds as if you enjoyed your experience! I am quite pleased for you! :)

Dream paralysis is weird! You are conscious but unable to move. It is not fear inducing but very strange.

Interesting thread! Upvoted!

DK - I have experienced Sleep Paralysis once before. It was extremely terrifying for me!

Something Real I guess it affects people differently. Sometimes I realize it is happening and kind of enjoy it and then an external noise jars me out of it. Thankfully, I don't get night terrors- those sound terrible in more ways than one.

DK - I agree; I would never wish to experience a night terror! 

Yeah dk I've only experienced sleep paralysis once, I didn't hallucinate any figures in my room or anything but lacking the ability to move or, even, scream, terrified me to my core. I'd like to be one of the people who can get into the groove and enjoy it, but don't see it happening. Apparently sleeping on your back increases your chances of waking up with sleep paralysis, whether true or not I'm unsure.

Blackwinter-witch I've never really had scary dreams regarding aliens, they're usually paranormal related instead. One dream I recall this girl died for some reason I can't remember, anyway I walked into another room and she was there again, alive, staring right through me. That scared the shit out of me. I'm usually okay once I wake up and realise it's just a dream but the memory of it shook me for about a week.

SomethingReal I enjoyed it immensely! Wish I could go back hehe.

I LOVE dreaming with Alien in it

M577 - I wish you the best of luck in returning to your dream in the future. :)

M577 You are correct at least for me- I noticed that I was always supine during sleep paralysis.

dk

Yeah, it's a weird thing, but it only happens once a year on average, and only with dreams about ALIEN, so...I kinda consider it a 'private showing' movie sequel or short-movie. :)

But the Fear is so real...you KNOW you can move, but you don't want to, and don't want to even breathe loudly...I never hallucinate figures in the room as I never open my eyes though.

Something Real

Yeah, even when you realize what it is...you still DON'T WANT TO RISK MOVING, it is a...Perfect Moment of Terror, sleep paralysis.

M577

Yeah, I can see where a dream like that would leave you rattled for a week, or even longer. I have the odd paranormal dream now and then, but nothing as vivid as that, I envy you that experience, in the Good way, though, to be sure. :)

BWW- The sleep paralysis experience varies. Sometimes I scratch an itch on my back while realizing I couldn't possibly do it supine- and that realization wakes me up. I love little things like that and am glad someone made a thread!

I've been plagued with xenomorph dreams since i was 12....i am now in my 30's. Like you BWW, i love/hate them lol. Must be a creative person thing lol and/or watching the films a little bit too early in life hahah.....pffft never too early.

Mine usually involve being alone, often in an empty spaceship and simply knowing there is a xeno there somewhere, waiting. With usually a facehugger on the prowl. 

Mine are all over the map. They could be real world in my home, a Xeno, on Gilligan's Island, or all mixed into one! Go figure. I am serious.

lol dk I had to google supine but thank you I now have a new word in my vocabulary :P
Sleeping that way is the most comfortable for me but I often go to bed hoping I don't wake up with sleep paralysis and wishing I hadn't stupidly googled 'what causes sleep paralysis,' knowing sleeping on your back causes it more just makes it that much scarier for me lol.

Blackwinter-witch 

I suspect our Alien dreams must be pretty much the opposite LOL, it must be for you like you're actually in the movie, scared shitless with this thing hunting you?
For me last night it felt like I wasn't a part of it, but more a spectator of the goings on. I was ultra interested in the place I was in. Maybe my subconscious knew this hence why I wasn't scared.

Interestingly, before I went to bed, I was looking at the latest pics from David's lab and watched a few bloopers where they're walking around saying how cool it is. I distinctly remember thinking to myself the movie won't be enough and I wish I could just spend hours in there looking at all of David's drawings, experiments etc.. and even though the dream I had wasn't in David's lab I have a feeling this is maybe why I dreamt it and why I wasn't scared.. idk.. It was cool and I was enjoying looking around and taking everything in. I'm probably wrong but that seems interesting to me :D

LOL the paranormal dreams are pretty cool in that WTF? kind of way where you still don't realise you're dreaming but your brain is imploding trying to make sense of what it is seeing, kind of like high doses of acid or mushrooms where you can CLEARLY see what you're seeing but have no clue how the thing you're seeing can exist. That's the best analogy I can think of, but the pure horror of it at the time is too much for me.

alright. cool. glad to know its not just me messed up by this franchise hahahaha jks. Aliens PTSD

@ dk  'Sometimes I scratch an itch on my back while realizing I couldn't possibly do it supine'

That is cool! I can't ever recall having a dream where I've done something to trigger a thought about my non-dream self.

I'd love to be able to lucid dream and visit LV-426.

M577 I wrote a song about dreams years ago when I kept a dream journal. The conclusion of the experience and the song was- "I find no meaning, I just enjoy the ride." They are only dreams.
