Thread: When Dream Animals Attack!

hmm... I can't think of any attacks by animals on myself in my dreams... but I do remember a bunch of times that I dreamed my pets were in danger and I had to save them

In this one dream, I was partially lucid, and I was in a 4-wheeler in the parking lot of a grocery store at night. This bear-wolf hybrid pops up out of the blue and starts to run at me at an incredible speed. I cat-wheeled my way away as fast as I could in hopes of running away, but just as the bear wolf hybrid got close to me, I left the dream. I found myself in another dream and said,"Whoo, that was close!" and I woke up.

When I was in pre-school orso I was followed by a massive snake in a dream, bigger then the one in anaconda, it started in a church, then I walked home, I just went to lay down in my bed as that huge snake came through the window, then all of a sudden my cat came into the room and completely killed the evil snake!

Ofcourse I've also had some times a dream that a T-rex would come after me, he just wouldn't stop following me, sometimes I got it done to shake it off.

Maybe a "When Good Pets Go Bad" thread? I mean now that you have Red, kitties would never go bad.

Here's my dream, inspired by reading all of caradon's animal attack dreams. I didn't give mine a chance.

I'm on a zip-line sliding over a rocky canyon. It's great until I see where the line leads, which is a cave in the side of the mountain, and I see a grizzly bear and a polar bear inside, looking at me and walking back and forth. (Caradon! The bears came out of your dreams and into mine! I'm not as brave as you!) I am overcome with fear and lose all lucid control. I drop from the line, thinking it will be better to die on the rocks than be eaten by the bears. But I land softly, and I begin to make long-jumps across the rocks; then I am able to fly, but only slowly. I remember SkySaw's imaginary "flying vehicle", and I try to do that, like an invisible bicycle, but I can't manage to move my legs the right way. I wonder if it is because of sleep paralysis, and I whirl my arms in the air to test it out--they seem to work fine. I go back into the grocery story and lay on the floor. I attempt to convince myself that everything I am experiencing is a product of my own mind. A man sees me laying there and comes over to see why.

my first animal attack dream was probably some time after the first jurassic park movie. I was just a little kid then, and this was one of my first vivid dreams with clear and exact details, like the leaves on the tree to the dirt on the roads.

anyhoot, turns out jurassic park was my school's back yard. me and my sisters tried to escape from t-rex after being chased by smaller dinosaurs. well, it got me. in one swoop it lifted me off the ground and I was between it's teeth. as it slowly chomped down on me I felt the pressure of its massive teeth, and it hurt so bad. the pain of t-rex's teeth was enough to wake me up. of which I was in pain for five more minutes, conscious and awake.

the pain wasn't like normal back pain or a pain I ever experienced again, just imagine large teeth slowly puncturing you at even intervals on your back.

my more recent animal attack dream was very recently, and it felt some what symbolic. I was a native american boy with a hunting rifle on my way home. But as I was kayaking through a river that was slowly starting to freeze, a crocodile attacked me. In the dream there was only moonlight, which was covered most of the time by the clouds. So it was very dark and I could only make out the crocodile's attacks by the light catching his eyes or his scales - or his tail rocking my kayak back and forth.

I hesitated and my hands were shaky, but I finally fired and got him in the chest. Once on dry land, I thought I was safe. But I heard something emerge from the water. This time it was a large shaggy brown bear, a grizzly I guess. He had a wound where I had left one on the crocodile. The chase continues until we reach a snowy clearing, where I encounter a white bear *its features were not like a polar bear, but a brown bear that was white*

I thought that maybe the two bears would fight over me, instead they both turned on me. I fired and killed them both. but the attack wasn't over. The white bear was a mommy and had a cub. The cub became consumed with revenge and turned into a demon that haunted me for the rest of the dream

Good job, jurorara! I wish I had been as brave. And I'm impressed by succesful firing of a dream-gun, several times no less! Were you lucid during those?

o.o not really, I was lucid in the beginning, and at the end, but in between I was lost between some what being aware that this wasn't reality but not totally aware it was a dream

I was in the body of a boy, I like literally saw this native american boy in my dream and flew into his body. and I would even think in my head for him to take over his body again so he can shoot instead of me, since my hands were shaking and I didn't know how to reload.

but after a while I realized the boy couldn't handle the demon with his hunting rifle, so I was like "screw this", so I flew out of his body and handled things my way, which involved no guns or firing

My little sister had a cat that had to be put to sleep once (kept having fits we couldn't do anything about), and a short time afterwards I had this dream where I was walking to the bathroom at night when I see the cat (its name was pukanuksie or something like that, I'll just stick to calling it the cat). I'm quite curious and slightly frightend at seeing him again, so I start making meowing sounds to get his attetion. The next moment he turns around and gives me this demonic look with his eyes and starts running towards me and as he gets closer he jumps right at me. I woke up just as he was passing through my stomache. It was quite a vivid dream for me and actually got me shaking a bit.

I've had a few of these at least, pretty strange, sometimes fun, sometimes freaky.

- I almost enjoyed this one, although it might sound cruel. I was in a kind of small group of people led by the actor Bill Pullman in a quest to reclaim his soul, and as we were walking down a large dune in the desert suddenly a huge wave of enraged goats started charging at us. I had a shotgun, so I started firing and it was actually pretty realistic, I was surprised by the recoil in the dream and everything, even though I wasn't lucid. At the end of the fight, there were these sort of statistics that appeared, and I think I had killed 3-5 goats.

- There was one dream where this kind of berserk (mutated I think) horse was rushing at me, and I realized I was dreaming just as it was happening. I decided to stand my ground and just look at it, leting it run into me, and just as it was about to hit me I think it ran past or something.

- This was was really weird, I was in a room and there was this really weird looking giant mechanical beetle thing with a teal or purple carapace. It had this really weird kind of motion that kept freaking me out, kind of like when someone scratches a blackboard with his nails. I kept trying to chase it away and it kept coming back towards me, much to my dismay.

Here is one I never put in my journal. I don't remember a lot of it. I'm in a house or a building of some kind. I enter a room and there is a mountain lion there. It pounces on me, and I struggle with it on the floor. I now have a bowie knife, don't know where it came from, but I start stabbing the lion. It doesn't have much effect, so I just keep stabbing and stabbing. eventually the lion backs off and leaves me alone. But it doesn't seem injured in any way at all. That's all I remember about it.

Never thought there would be a thread inspired by my journal.

Now there's a good pet gone bad.

I look forward to more animal attack dreams so I can practice not losing control due to fear. I'm more afraid in dreams than I would be IRL, I think.

One of my first entries in my Dream journal back on May 17, 2000 was an animal attack dream. Here it is:
My stepmother Sandra and I are in the backyard at night time in front of a campfire. I notice a noise in the bushes. I look around and see a small furry creature. At first, I think it's my black cat "Spooky" but then I realize... it's a SKUNK! It was quite small and it was.. climbing down a tree, kind of like a squirrel would. I scream and warn Sandra about the skunk. I run away as fast as my legs could carry me, and the skunk chases me! Sandra sort of walks away from the skunk. I am petrified that I will get sprayed by the skunk's stink. Finally, I make it inside our garage safely. But Sandra is missing...

Well, I guess that's not so much an "aniaml attack", the their was definitely potential.

It used to be that anytime I saw a dog in a dream I could be sure it would come charging at me in no time. In one dream I was even ... er ... sexually assaulted by a massive black dog.

But his all changed after one semi-lucid dream where I decided to offer no resistance to the attacker. I actually held my hand out for the dog to bite in order to show it I didn't care.

The dog eventually calmed down, but it wasn't instant. There was some painful biting for a while--very awkward. I just had to sit there and stay calm. And even after it settled down I had a feeling it could turn violent at any moment.

Now whenever I feel I'm going to be attacked I'll offer up my flesh before that fight begins. Kind of takes the wind out of the attacker's sails.

I had a dream last week that I was being attacked by T-rex dinosaurs. not cool.

Thats cool. Can you do that without being Lucid? I don't have any problem handling the situation once getting Lucid. But, before that happens things can get pretty scary sometimes. especially if it's a bear dream.

Last night I got Lucid while being attacked by two giant T-Rex skeletons. It was just my subconscious putting me in the right position to get Lucid.
I'm grateful for that kind of help.
I don't have time to post the whole thing again here. But I just finished putting it in my journal.

Just saw your post awoke! My attack was scary but fun!

The next wild animal that attacks me I'm going to assume it's a dream! Good way to get lucid. Come on, I'm waiting, attack away!

I have been attacked by a werewolf in a dream before, He clawed at my throat, And managed to bite me on the chin. Felt myself drop to all fours- Then everything faded out and i woke up. Creepy.

Even creepier is this was the only dream i had all night, and it took from 11PM to 8AM to finish, The fighting and transforming seemed to only take seconds.

lol...

Dinosaurs aren't stupid, and I hope you find that out sometime...like maybe tonight!

moonbeam i met them... hehe dont want to see them again

Snake, large, and hungry.

Couldn't defeat Yoda, yet the green jedi, failed to defeat it also.

I hid, even while lucid.

Got away, just out of sight. Woken by foolish parent.

I haven't been attacked by an dinosaurs but a huge troll kept trying to kill me until I became lucid one night as I was running from it. Luckily, I had enough time to devise a wand (thank you, Harry Potter) and blasted its brains out next time I saw it.

I was underwater when a hammerhead shark knocked bashed it's way through an underwater castle.

And their was another time a Giant Bull tried to gore me in town...
