The scariest dreams that...aren't scary

[Joseph_Stalin]

Well this happened to me a few nights ago. I had gone to sleep and then actually gotten a good nights sleep, so vivid dreams were obviously comming. I'm asleep, and everywhere I turn, no matter which way I elevate my head, or how much I turn it, I still saw the same continous 2 second image: it was a plane crashing into a building. The rest of the dream was about the towers, but they were really distorted and smaller (one was very short, the other moderately tall; my view was looking vertically up, gazing). There was no burning, but I saw firemen in the building (I was actually in the building, which was too small to be a skyscraper), and they were really anxious and nervous and stuff, like there was a fire. The sky was clear, but at the last seconds of the dream, it was dusty and grimm, dark and depressing, but alas, I did not feel any emotion. It wasn't even like watching a movie; it was just emotionless. My question is, why is it that when normally scary things happen in your dreams, you are not afraid of them at all. You might actually (not always) laugh at the situation, which not at all amusing. Is this just a subconscious thing, or is it really your outlook on things?

Well emotions can be a funny thing in dreams. Some times it goes the other way around too. You see something normal and in no way is it scary yet you feel the worst fear you have ever felt. I never laughed at something scary. Now that I think of it though I dont ever remeber laughing in a dream. Though I have seen scary things and it didn't seem scary at all.

All I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed shooting a seven-year-old girl with a sawn-off shotgun, who preceeded to be blown in half and fly out a skylight. I was laughing my head off, much to the distaste of the then blood covered parents. (This is in a dream! Not in real life!)

I was emotionless when I saw a dead child in my dream, but when I woke up, and thought about what it looked like, it really freaked me out.

yeah, I had a dream that was totally freaky only because I remembered it afterwards.... It was about a device scanning peoples brains, and printing out a picture. In my dreams they scanned some priest guy, and the picture was a church, and then there in that church they found the corpse of mary, and then they scanned her dead brain and they printed out a picture of a gross deformed baby heh.... faaa-reakay.
