Interesting how we have such similar sensations in these fever dreams... the descriptions are so similar, they can't be coincidence IMO |

I really should take some picture of the monster goosebumps I get from reading your guys description of those dreams. |

I probably shouldn't have read this right before bed. Maybe I will have something interesting to write about afterwards though... hope I don't get one of these. |

I just had one of these last night...To me it was like a loss of reality, i didnt know if i was awake, or asleep, and felt like i was just floating. But images of certain places kept popping into my head , like i was floating around that area...I cant relate to the shapes and images, but i found it creepy enough to google it. |

I just read the whole tread, since the start in 2006.. Cool that it's still going |

I was reading The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, and I noticed something similar to this. They have a torture device called the total perspective machine (or something like that). It basically shows you a picture of yourself, and then zooms out until you can see the entire universe, and then shows you as a single dot. The human mind apparently cannot comprehend this much space, so (in the book) it causes permanent damage to most people. |

I used to have similar dreams as a kid. |

I've also had a terrifying experience that was abstract, but instead of platonic solids I was shown a fractal zoom of everything. It started in a room, that was plain enough, and then I was picked up and floated away through the ceiling to see a series of rooms, which became a series of a series of rooms, which became a block of a series of rooms, and it just kept zooming from there. I eventually chickened out when the complexity became unthinkable and woke myself up. |

i have just joined because of reading these posts. I had these dreams when i was younger - last time was when i was 18. The descriptions I've read here are freakily familiar - i used to be in this black void where i had no sense of who i was but knew somehow that there was some great big thing that needed to be done but it was like counting infinity or something - i would see (i think...more like sense, or be aware of) a long long fence that i had to count all the posts in, or some other impossibly large or intangible thing. The most frightening thing was waking up i would feel like i wasnt entirely back in my body and i would have to get my mum to talk to me back into reality. It was so so so scary and sometimes if i made myself concentrate on something small, like a coin, i could bring on that feeling/out of reality sensation at will. I dont have it any more but have always wanted to know what it was. I have been told that it is something to do with 'going into the Void' but never found anything out about this. But so reassuring to read all these posts, thanks x |

wow. this thread is old, and i guess i have something to contribute to the thread aswell altho im not sure if its entirely the same as what has been described here, |

I get the same feeling when i dream and have a high fever.It feels like i ve being dreaming/hallucinating forever... I get a feeling similar like tinitus in my ears, and i can see faint geometric shapes made of whitish yellowish light.Its too hard to fight against this and i just endure it.After what it seems an eternity i wake up and feeling very disoriented check my face in the mirror and my pupils are dilated. |

uh...this is uh..no offense but, you are a robot? aren´t you?
I have never experienced geometric shapes in dreams. The most abstract experience I had was when I met Morpheus in a dream, and at one point I was in vast white nothingness. There was white, but no floor, ceiling, fog, objects, or anything. I did not even have a dream body. It scared me for a second, but I was lucid. I still had to zoom out to third person to see what I looked like. All I could see of myself was my soul, a very faint flame. |

I had a dream a long time ago while I was in my teens. I had a fever, so this was a fever dream. In the dream I was in my bed having trouble getting to sleep. I think in the dream I was also much younger than I was in reality. I sat up in my bed and there was a seemingly endless number of strange geometric shapes on the bed. I was certain that I would have to arrange them and stack them before I would be able to sleep. All of them. But there were so many. And it was so frustrating. As I kept stacking and they kept coming I got so frustrated that I had gotten to the point of tears and I just wanted the whole thing to be over. And since it was a fever dream it kept repeating when I fell asleep! Not a pleasent period of time. |

I registered an account just so I can respond to this thread. These dreams all ring quite true with some experiences I had, and as a neuroscience student and a curious person I have always marveled at their strangeness, and the familiarity I've found when sharing fever dreams with a few people over the years. |

Hello 'the cusp' I registered so I could respond to this thread, which i found through google searches and surfing around. |

The overall description you gave was excellent. But I never really felt victimized from bullying or think that my parents had anything to do with those dreams. Also I never thought as myself as being sick after those dreams, but the physical symptoms of my fear could certainly be considered feverish. |

Thanks for such a great topic. As with many others, I had these dreams throughout my childhood and want to share them. I called them 'Cold Grey Fear' |

I remember my younger cousin in city had them alot; it wasn't until he began coming to see me in the country that he was first able to spend nights away from home. |
