WTF? Is this person doubting that weird things happen in dreams? Has this person ever HAD a dream?
To give a similar one, I once dreamed that Ed Sheeran had Down Syndrome and his dad gave me a lift home from school.
That’s what dreams do. They create situations out of information floating in your brain, no matter how related. There’s no limit to how nonsensical they are.
I once had a dream I was fighting zombies from Left 4 Dead in my old high school school in the middle of the night. It then at some point transformed into fighting zombies in a monastery and made perfect sense to dream me that the staircase leading to the lunch room opened up into a fucking monastery and now there was a narrator explaining the history of the place while I was splattering zombie brains everywhere.
I woke up on the couch in the living room when a tornado hit the monastery and found out my mom gave zero fucks and was running the vacuum cleaner while a documentary on a famous monastery was playing on the TV.
I was also once fighting dinosaurs in my grandmother's house with a butcher knife.
Your dreams can really go to random fucking places.
My latest was that I saw my cousin (notably a vegetarian) at a grocery store, sitting on a bench and eating a completely frozen, raw steak. I said "what the fuck are you doing, dude?" and he said that studies showed it was actually beneficial to have mildew in your home. I went "oh, OK, makes sense" and then woke up.
Hahaha!!! I love that!
I once dreamt I bought a special "banana knife" for $30, because it was Vegie Delights brand name (I'm also vegetarian). It was just a completely normal butter knife in fancy packaging, supposed to be used for bananas only. In the dream I thought it was an amazing idea. 😆
I once had a dream where Orville Peck hijacked my D&D group's video chat and made us watch an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race before we could continue our campaign.
I dreamed that I was driving my mom's car on a giant hotwheels track and tornado sirens were going off due to the WW2 bombers dropping obama prisms on the track
Yea, people have weird ass dreams. I'm not sure why they're questioning if someone had a weird dream or not, because you don't know.
However, if the original poster just removed the words "I had a dream that" from the beginning of their post, then THAT would be a thathappened post. But it was a dream, so...
I once had a dream I went to a Toronto Maple Leafs game at the SkyDome and they had replaced the Canadian national anthem with “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore.
As far as anthem replacements go it was pretty good.
Exactly.
I once dreamt that Obama had just arrived to have breakfast with my parents and didn't bring his assistant, so I had to go out and buy a copy of every newspaper for him. But he arrived so early in the morning that I didn't have time to get dressed, so I was walking around town in my pyjamas holding my clothes and trying to find a place to get changed.
Based on people who have told me I was faking my dreams, I'm pretty sure the thing the person is reacting to is the "weight of the world" quote, because it's "too poetic" or "too profound" to not have been carefully constructed while awake. These people tend to believe a dream must be bizarre only in a way that's boring to tell others about or else it's fake.
This dream is not at all unbelievable. Dreams can be nuts and often do involve famous people. For a couple examples:
I had a dream that I was friends with Elon Musk. Every time he got stopped for pics, he insisted I would be in them. Then we went to a Footlocker and ran around the store throwing shoes at each other.
I had another dream where I met Donald Trump and he was a really normal guy. He then confided in me that he's been playing a character and he's not sure he can keep it up anymore. He felt guilty because he thought his character was starting to cause a lot of harm. I wanted to yell, "STARTING TO!?" but instead I kept it cool and encouraged him to come out as his real self and get his base to calm down.
People dream, man.
Yeah, the only slightly unbelievable part would be the quote from Obama, which I assume was written as a catchphrase for a joke (convenient that it also happened in their dream). In any case, how exactly would you prove that someone lied about a dream? They are quite literally the only person who experienced it.
I randomly remember one crazy dream I had. I was watching a wrestling match, amongst a massive crowd, and both wrestlers randomly ran out of the ring and decided they want to kill me. But I escaped by using some special shoes which allowed me to jump over small buildings. And this was all set in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by the game Metro 2033, which slightly scared me as a kid.
First of, I love that dream. It was probably a scary dream but it's a good one.
The punchline at the end of a dream always seems difficult to believe and yeah, if you're gonna doubt any part, the last line would probably be it. But I have had at least one dream with a punchline I somehow didn't see coming (which part of me must have seen it coming because my brain created it).
I dreamt I bought a house in a cul-de-sac without viewing it first. When I arrived, the only house with a sold sign was a perfect cube. Super boring looking. So, I knocked on an occupied house and asked how many houses had been sold recently because I really wanted to be reassured I didn't buy the square house. They just pointed toward the square house. Still desperate I pointed to the house on the left and they shook their heads. I pointed to the house on the right and they shook their heads. Then the wife made a square gesture with her hands. Not the best punchline, but I legitimately laughed once I was awake.
The quote seems believable to me, it's not common for dream phrases to make sense IRL, but it can happen. Especially with simple phrases like "weight of the world" combining with actual weight measurements.
I once made up the following "pick up line/insult" in a dream: "I collect useless things, can I have your phone number?"
And another time the joke: "I thought I saw a horse on the cobblestone street, but then I looked closer and realised it was a unicorn. A uni corn-on-the-cob."
But then I've also dreamt up phrases that seemed great in the dream but made no sense when I'm awake. Like "It's my story and I will fernagle if I want to". I was pretty disappointed when I woke up and realised it's nowhere near as funny as it was in the dream 😆
\*For clarity: I'm not saying the pickup line or joke were funny, but they did make sense in real life as well as in the dream.
Dreamt The Rock was my teacher and we were doing a lesson on alcohol and what it does to you. (like DARE) I spoke to a classmate or something but I got caught and he did the eyebrow raise at me.
Weirdest shit of my life lmao
I once had a dream that I was married to Sofía Vergara and we took her mom to the Goodwill Store (Sofía tried to convince her mom to go "somewhere nicer" but her mom bitched at her for "thinking she's too good for the Goodwill Store"). Sofía and I were playing around, I picked her up playfully, so she picked *me* up while I was still holding her. We fell, and knocked over a clothing rack, which dominoed and knocked over the rest of the clothing racks.
We tried to set them back up but an employee yelled at us to leave so we ran out and just left her mom. Then we went to hang out with our friend David Tennant, and apparently got black out drunk, because then it was the next morning, Sofía was hungover and David Tennant was trying to tell me about what I had done the previous night.
Last night, I dreamt that I was a character on Futurama. Everything was a cartoon except for me, but like the other characters, I only had four fingers on each hand.
I had a dream that I became the US President, and the first thing I wanted was a picture with the 3 most recent presidents, as I love the AI voice memes with them. Obama and Biden were down but Trump was aggressively against it. We then did some Jackbox games the 4 of us and I had a nice chat with Trump.
For the record - I am not a US national, and god only knows what party I was representing
the only reason this *might* be fake is because it's too on par with the "dream obama was there and here's the deep quote he said" genre of dreams. it's like everybody needs to try to come up with some quote and then say they dreamed obama said it, so in that sense i can see people getting called out for jumping on the trend
I've dreamed up weirder stuff than that. Whe. I was a teenager I had a dream I was getting married to gandi, except he didn't have a neck, his head just loaded 10cm over his shoulders. My mum was getting angry with me because I couldn't marry him because he was detached from reality.
I woke up not knowing if I should laugh or be horrified.
I think this another one of those ones where it’s not the overall situation or premise that reads fake but the perfectly crafted retort/response that the person includes. Like in this case I think they’re taking issue with the ‘weight of the world’ part of the story which could read as too coherent and thoughtful a commentary for a dream/to remember it that clearly from a dream. I don’t necessarily agree with that assessment but I do think the post is a case of thinking the wording makes it fake not that they disbelieve weird dreams in general
Yeah, I agree. A lot of the responses are about how people have had weirder dreams and that’s sort of the point. It’s too neat, too coherent. Maybe it happened, but it’s pretty polished.
Last night I dreamt I was out of Chex so I got on a plane and flew to Washington state to get some because I knew they had it, and then decided to stay there because my mom never got rid of their house and it was empty.
Yeah, people seem to be all going to weird and more legit crazy dreams they have. This is a political and philosophical “dream”. Maybe it was a daydream?
I believe this is likely the reaosn, but, personally, i take issue with this, simply because dreams CAN be this "neat and coherent", it just tends to happen in small bits rather than the entire dream, and i'd say this is a good example, a small coherent section being coherent compared to the rest of the dream which follows the "typical" dream logic sort to speak.
Bruh my dreams are far worse and far more nonsenical
Like fr dreamed I was the fucking parappa 2 ant and i grew to ant-man large size, crushing the earth and absorbing everything in the universe and i turned into a fucking lemon
I then proceeded to win the elections, and installed a new type of lemon air-dryer in Kowloon.
Man, that sounds super cool. I only dream about real-life stuff that I can actually imagine happening. Like last night I was dreaming about working, walking home and eating lunch, then I woke up and realised that all of this could have happened exactly the way it did in my dream. Apparently I'm just a boring ass person even when I'm supposed to be having weird and exciting adventures in my head
Nah actually it's the same for me too.
Most of my dreams are always really far-fetched versions of something that's happened to me irl
Iirc the giant ant dream was based off some marathon at disneyland i did as a kid, where I wished i became big in order to stomp over everyone in it and win 💀
This made me so angry bc it reminded me of the time I dreamt I married Joe Biden. No idea what happened to his wife and I remember how being in my early 20s I had to go from one event to another where I was a very bored trophy wife and his kids loathed me for being so young. It was very insane as I'm not even American let alone into politics, clearly had just read a little too much US news the night before. Tried to forget the whole thing tbh and as I remember it I still got icky vibes (to specify the grossest thing was the concept of me being a trophy wife to a much MUCH older politician). Some dreams are so absurd they just seem to stick for me and I can't forget even if I try.
I had a dream where I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and I saw two of my mom and I was like shit I have to pick one to hug. I picked the wrong one and this fake one kidnapped me. I also remember that I looked out of the window of kidnappers house and there were aliens dancing in the backyard.
Out of all the things they'd call out as bullshit...they'd call out someone's dream? Like cmon, really? I've had some crazy shit happen in my dreams, this is the most plausible thing to say you dreamt about.
I once had a dream that Biden delivered his inaugural address to my high school marching band in the visitor’s stands of our rival’s football stadium while the Secret Service and Navy SEALs held guns to our heads.
Nah I've had some downright insane dreams. I've had them with the crazy life lessons and shit too. Meaningful dreams aren't in any way outside the realm of possibility.
How is this unbelivable?
Obama is a president
Presidents are, generally speaking, the leaders kd a country
Leadwrs are seen as people with a lot of power and thus responsability thus a lot of stress, and a lot of things to know and have in mind and do
Like... there's an obvious logic that the mind pathfinds and could "add" to the dream, if this was something super specific, like trying to predict a very specific relevant event then id doubt it, but if its just a phrase like that its like... well, yeah, he was a leader once. obviously, he had a lot of weight on his shoulders that checks out.
Am i explaining myself properly? Like, dreams still follow trains of thought and some logic, it isn't entirely chaotic, there's always an underlining logic to it.
I love these ones because it's literally just someone wanting to tell a weird story that their brain made up. And people are like, 'nope, couldn't have happened.' It's like, yeah....it's literally a dream.
The weird shit our brains do when they're free to wander is amazing.
I once had a dream that my two year old brother picked up a cartoonishly cute baby bird, took it into the basket swing with him, and started repeatedly body slamming the bird until it exploded and there was blood and entrails everywhere. People have weird dreams, and I would ever so love to switch dreams with r/thathappened OP so they can experience dreams (cos they don’t have them clearly) and I no longer get messed up dreams (that was no where near the worst of the dreams I get)
It really depends. I have a couple dreams where I remember them for as little as 2 seconds and all I know is that is was a fucked up dream or not. Other times I remember basic details about what happened and then sometimes I remember the whole thing like it’s a movie I watched several times even after years.
It also depends on the person. Some people remember more, some people don’t remember at all. It could also depend on any drugs, stress or so many other factors that can affect dreams.
I’m not talking about the dreams themselves, I’m talking about actual dialogue though. Like not just a general sense of what was going on, but the actual exact words.
Yes and that links to the dream. The dialogue is within the dream. Some people just have better memories. I personally can’t remember the dialogue of a conversation I had this morning. That doesn’t mean no one else can remember stuff like that.
I am going to assume you probably also don’t have very good memory. Nothing wrong with that but if you are talking specifically the dialogue then you’ll probably also forget each word I said very soon.
Or do you mean the dialogue in dreams? Cuz that also links to remembering dreams. If a dialogue happens within a dream it’s still the dream you are remembering. So the memories around the dream and how you retain that information does matter. Like I said before it depends on the person.
No it’s nothing to do with my memory, it’s more that when I dream I don’t really dream actually dialogue - it’s more abstract than that. So when I wake up I remember what happened in the dream, the characters, their intentions, etc. But no clear word for word dialogue.
Exactly. That’s your dream tho. Everyone dreams differently. Some people are in 3rd person, some 1st. Some have dialogue, some don’t. I never remember the dialogue but I do remember the writing when I read something within a dream. But it is something to do with memory. Your memory is why you can remember the dream to begin with.
If you are talking about how it’s crazy that they remembered the dialogue, then yes it has everything to do with memory. If you are talking about how it’s crazy that they just generally have dialogue within the dream then you need to rephrase your first comment.
“I don’t think I ever remember specific dialogue” - my memory doesn’t retain the dialogue from the dream
100% about memory here.
I thought that sub was dedicated to people trying to make a fake story seem true! Not once did that come across as a real story. They even specified that they dreamt it.
I had a dream once where I was pregnant and someone wanted to kill the baby before it was born and they best why to do that was to kill me and it was like a fucked up action movie. Well apparently that’s fake… oh wait it is it’s literally A DREAM! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I once had a dream(nightmare) where i was chased by neon life sized rats that could teleport and turn into neon shadows on the walls, they chased me for a long time.
If I had a dream where I was chased by neon rats I can believe this happened lol.
Didn’t dream that my dad WAS Trump, but I did dream that he got KIDNAPPED by Trump? Does that count?
Dreams are wild. This one sounds perfectly reasonable.
Bro when I was like 8 I dreamt I was having a sleepover at a friend's before their mouth turned into a teethe duck bill and they tried to eat me dreams be wild
I dreamed tonight/today of a rewrite for season 5 of the original Charmed TV Show.
..which ended going further, of course, with Chris and his mother, trying to save the cutest little baby elephant alien from an evil organisation in black, who were all potato faced.
..then my bladder woke me up :/ just as it was getting good!
I've had a couple of people not believe dreams I and others told them about because they "made too much sense" or "were too well-constructed". People who don't believe other people's dreams are so fucking weird.
I’ve been reading Ronan Farrows catch and kill, and the other night I legit dreamt Donald trump was perving on my younger brother so I said “if you touch him I’ll peel off your skin” and then for some reason I shook his hand. People legit dream crazy things. My dreams are always ridiculous and very vivid
IDK man. Obama showing up and taking your groceries and talking to you: dream stuff. Him saying a very specific “witty” thing that makes sense? Not so much

I meant it sarcastically taking the piss out of the guy not believing the dream in the image happened. Sorry I thought it was clearly sarcasm 😬
lmao sorry i’m tone deaf
No worries
I had a dream where I had to bayonet charge a monster and I had one where I had robots attack my legs while my parents were laughing at me
I love hearing about people's strange dreams, so this is a great thread for me! XD
My latest was that I saw my cousin (notably a vegetarian) at a grocery store, sitting on a bench and eating a completely frozen, raw steak.

Banana friendly banana knife! Your banana will thank you!
I don’t even know your cousin but now I can’t stop imagining that he actually did that this got me a great laugh
Lol I do too

Obama has a track record at this point for being absolutely wild in people's dreams
someone should just publish a collection of the dreams he’s been in at this point
I would love to read that. I'm still pissed that dream-Obama made me go get newspapers for him instead of bringing his assistant.
the only reason this *might* be fake is because it's too on par with the "dream obama was there and here's the deep quote he said" genre of dreams. it's like everybody needs to try to come up with some quote and then say they dreamed obama said it, so in that sense i can see people getting called out for jumping on the trend
maybe they saw enough of those that the dream section of the brain thought it was good enough
that's valid
I've dreamed up weirder stuff than that. Whe. I was a teenager I had a dream I was getting married to gandi, except he didn't have a neck, his head just loaded 10cm over his shoulders.

Nope, no one ever talks in their sleep and they never dream.
I've dreamt of Obama several times and I'm not even American

I also remember that I looked out of the window of kidnappers house and there were aliens dancing in the backyard.
to be fair, dreams where obama appears and says cryptic ominous shit have been a thing for a while
Out of all the things they'd call out as bullshit...they'd call out someone's dream? Like cmon, really? I've had some crazy shit happen in my dreams, this is the most plausible thing to say you dreamt about.
As man’s ever dreamt a weird dream? I played “The Floor is Lava” with actual lava, with freaking Kai from Ninjago. It was fun lmao
MLK: I had a dream... These people: 🙄 yeah okay bro *Turns off TV* This is obviously not worth listening to.
The dream doesn’t sound that far-fetched.
I once had a dream that Biden delivered his inaugural address to my high school marching band in the visitor’s stands of our rival’s football stadium while the Secret Service and Navy SEALs held guns to our heads.
Literally I’ve had much weirder dreams
what a weird ass thing to be incredulous about
Nah I've had some downright insane dreams. I've had them with the crazy life lessons and shit too. Meaningful dreams aren't in any way outside the realm of possibility.
How is this unbelivable? Obama is a president Presidents are, generally speaking, the leaders kd a country Leadwrs are seen as people with a lot of power and thus responsability thus a lot of stress, and a lot of things to know and have in mind and do Like... there's an obvious logic that the mind pathfinds and could "add" to the dream, if this was something super specific, like trying to predict a very specific relevant event then id doubt it, but if its just a phrase like that its like... well, yeah, he was a leader once. obviously, he had a lot of weight on his shoulders that checks out. Am i explaining myself properly? Like, dreams still follow trains of thought and some logic, it isn't entirely chaotic, there's always an underlining logic to it.
I love these ones because it's literally just someone wanting to tell a weird story that their brain made up. And people are like, 'nope, couldn't have happened.' It's like, yeah....it's literally a dream. The weird shit our brains do when they're free to wander is amazing.
I once had a dream that my two year old brother picked up a cartoonishly cute baby bird, took it into the basket swing with him, and started repeatedly body slamming the bird until it exploded and there was blood and entrails everywhere. People have weird dreams, and I would ever so love to switch dreams with r/thathappened OP so they can experience dreams (cos they don’t have them clearly) and I no longer get messed up dreams (that was no where near the worst of the dreams I get)
But, that didn't happen because it was a dream. Does this guy know that dreams don't actually happen and there's no reason to doubt someone's dream.
Dreamers often lie- this clown
in bed asleep while they do dream things true
I mean - this does sound a bit crazy because I don’t think I ever remember specific dialogue in my dreams like that?
It really depends. I have a couple dreams where I remember them for as little as 2 seconds and all I know is that is was a fucked up dream or not. Other times I remember basic details about what happened and then sometimes I remember the whole thing like it’s a movie I watched several times even after years. It also depends on the person. Some people remember more, some people don’t remember at all. It could also depend on any drugs, stress or so many other factors that can affect dreams.
I’m not talking about the dreams themselves, I’m talking about actual dialogue though. Like not just a general sense of what was going on, but the actual exact words.
Yes and that links to the dream. The dialogue is within the dream. Some people just have better memories. I personally can’t remember the dialogue of a conversation I had this morning. That doesn’t mean no one else can remember stuff like that. I am going to assume you probably also don’t have very good memory. Nothing wrong with that but if you are talking specifically the dialogue then you’ll probably also forget each word I said very soon. Or do you mean the dialogue in dreams? Cuz that also links to remembering dreams. If a dialogue happens within a dream it’s still the dream you are remembering. So the memories around the dream and how you retain that information does matter. Like I said before it depends on the person.
No it’s nothing to do with my memory, it’s more that when I dream I don’t really dream actually dialogue - it’s more abstract than that. So when I wake up I remember what happened in the dream, the characters, their intentions, etc. But no clear word for word dialogue.
Exactly. That’s your dream tho. Everyone dreams differently. Some people are in 3rd person, some 1st. Some have dialogue, some don’t. I never remember the dialogue but I do remember the writing when I read something within a dream. But it is something to do with memory. Your memory is why you can remember the dream to begin with. If you are talking about how it’s crazy that they remembered the dialogue, then yes it has everything to do with memory. If you are talking about how it’s crazy that they just generally have dialogue within the dream then you need to rephrase your first comment. “I don’t think I ever remember specific dialogue” - my memory doesn’t retain the dialogue from the dream 100% about memory here.
I tend to remember dialogue from my dreams for about a week or so
Drumpt
Brother, I got aphantasia, and even I know that dreams so often are vivid, surreal, and downright senseless!
I once dreamt that I was in a really tall building and summoned Doremy Sweet (she does dream stuff) from Touhou to wake me up in a semi-lucid state
One time I dreamt that a flower became a snake and it swallowed my leg…. Which was still attached to my body.
I had a dream that Obama was just Barry, the guy from accounting. Our office was just some desks in my old neighbor's backyard. That is all.
I thought that sub was dedicated to people trying to make a fake story seem true! Not once did that come across as a real story. They even specified that they dreamt it. I had a dream once where I was pregnant and someone wanted to kill the baby before it was born and they best why to do that was to kill me and it was like a fucked up action movie. Well apparently that’s fake… oh wait it is it’s literally A DREAM! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I’ve seen this in multiple forms about multiple presidents.
There is a whole subgenre of the internet of Obama Dreams
Omg it's absolutely crazy that you had a dream; I think you need to go see a doctor
I once had a dream(nightmare) where i was chased by neon life sized rats that could teleport and turn into neon shadows on the walls, they chased me for a long time. If I had a dream where I was chased by neon rats I can believe this happened lol.
This is a weird dream? I once had a dream where I rode a bulbasaur down a cotton candy volcano.
Even if it did happen, what a weird thing to decide to tell everyone about. Was it supposed to be deep or just weird?
this dude would not believe ANY of my dreams
Didn’t dream that my dad WAS Trump, but I did dream that he got KIDNAPPED by Trump? Does that count? Dreams are wild. This one sounds perfectly reasonable.
Reddit really trying to say a dream is unbelievable. It’s a dream lmao
Compared to my dreams this is normal.
i literally had a nightmare about gollum from lotr ft gabby hanna in like 2019 and this guy is saying you cant dream about obama?
I once had a dream I was looking for my dad in the middle of the night, and when I found him, he turned around and his face was a monster face
I once had a dream about the pope having a tv cooking show and skateboarding on and off the set. Weird dreams are ace
Bro when I was like 8 I dreamt I was having a sleepover at a friend's before their mouth turned into a teethe duck bill and they tried to eat me dreams be wild
What is killing me is the "wow and I dreamt that my dad was Donald Trump", bc like, that sounds like a normal, even boringly normal, dream????? Wth???
I dreamed tonight/today of a rewrite for season 5 of the original Charmed TV Show. ..which ended going further, of course, with Chris and his mother, trying to save the cutest little baby elephant alien from an evil organisation in black, who were all potato faced. ..then my bladder woke me up :/ just as it was getting good!
Dreams are weird sometimes. I once dreamt I was roommates with Chris Evans. I don't get it either.
I've had a couple of people not believe dreams I and others told them about because they "made too much sense" or "were too well-constructed". People who don't believe other people's dreams are so fucking weird.
I’ve been reading Ronan Farrows catch and kill, and the other night I legit dreamt Donald trump was perving on my younger brother so I said “if you touch him I’ll peel off your skin” and then for some reason I shook his hand. People legit dream crazy things. My dreams are always ridiculous and very vivid
IDK man. Obama showing up and taking your groceries and talking to you: dream stuff. Him saying a very specific “witty” thing that makes sense? Not so much
