sweet dreams are made of this (not)

[unmemely]

the nightmare meme

These are your worst dreams, worst-case scenarios, and the most hellish things that the most horrible of demons could think of to torment you with. It isn’t pretty. It’s downright scary and will have you waking up with a scream. Of course, they are just dreams, and sometimes we can laugh over them because they’ll never come true. Right?

Roll the dice, cross your fingers, and find something to ward off those bad dreams.

WARNING: Depending upon how this plays out, there could be triggers! Please be sure to double check with one another?

directions

1. FALLING ➤ One of the most common dreams, you are falling down something, or maybe off something. Did you jump? Were you pushed? Will you survive? What awaits for you at the bottom if you do make it?

2. NIGHT TERROR ➤ The good news is that you’re not dreaming. The bad news is that you are asleep and are experiencing the raw emotions of fear and terror, thrashing around, screaming with your eyes wide open, and panicking… while being totally asleep.

3. PAST EVENTS ➤ Sometimes the worst nightmares are the ones that have you going through something that already happened. What could you have done differently? What kind of regrets do you have? If you could, would you do it again?

4. CHRONIC ➤ One or two bad dreams isn’t too bad, but one after the next night after night? That kind of interruption and constant fear can really wear down on someone. What are you dreaming of? Is there a reason for the repetition?

5. PHOBIA ➤ Spiders, small spaces, drowning… whatever you fear the most is what you’re dreaming of tonight. Will you let your fears consume you? Will you fight them this time? Will you succeed, or once again, lose?

6. SEEING THE DEAD ➤ Your best friend is here to warn you of danger, your dead mother-in-law is here to torment you beyond the grave, or you just might be seeing zombies or someone else who is long gone. Seeing the dead is never fun.

7. LOST ➤ No one likes to be lost. It can be a very scary situation to be in when you’re awake, but when you’re asleep and anything can happen? From being lost in ancient tunnels to a never-ending hotel hallway? Horrifying.

8. APOCALYPSE ➤ These dreams can be the worst with the horrible images of mayhem, chaos, death, and more. Is it the end of the world? The end of a part of your life? Does it reflect something from a legend, or is it something of your own creation?

9. PROPHETIC DREAM ➤ Often scary themselves, sometimes these dreams are more warnings than pure fright. Warnings from the mysterious beyond should always be taken seriously, lest you face the dire consequences.

10. WAKING UP ➤ Your heart is pounding, you are sweating, and if someone is near you, chances are your tossing and turning woke them up too. Are you going to tell them about your dream? Will they even care? How badly did your dream shake you up?

11. CAPTURED ➤ There is no escape. They want information or something else from you, and until they get it, they are never letting you go.

12. FACELESS ➤ It’s so odd… there is nothing really to be afraid of. Right? But then what are you afraid of? What is causing you to wake up in the middle of the night?

13. CHASED ➤ Another very common dream, someone or something is chasing you. A giant hamburger? A monster? Your ex-girlfriend? Hopefully you can get away or you just might have to fight them, and that is another nightmare.

14. CURE ➤ Thankfully, nightmares don’t have to last forever. Sometimes, you’re able to figure out their meanings and solve the problem in your waking life that is causing them, from confronting a problem to no longer eating ice cream at midnight.

15. WILDCARD ➤ Is there another dream you wanted to do? Something we missed? Choose your own horrid scenario? Go for it!

[A LOT of these could apply to Jamie... I'd be up for having him be the one with the nightmares, or the one trying to comfort somebody else. Not that he's great at comforting...]

[You know, Liv, maybe eating the brain of someone who claimed to be descended from the moon and that their dead ancestors visited their dreams was a bad idea.

But then again, the dream isn't all that bad, at least at first.

The dream is on the top of a grassy cliff overlooking the ocean. The moon is rising in the sky, and a one-eyed Japanese boy reclines against a rock, playing a shamisen. As he plays, leaves rise from the ground, folding into intricate shapes until they are figurines. A samurai in full regalia, a woman warrior with sweeping hair, monsters of all shapes and sizes, all around in a circle and stretching, as if getting ready for a work out.]

I have such a story for you tonight. I think--

[The boy glances up from his shamisen, and his fingers still on the mismatched strings. The figures all turn to look at Liv now as the boy's brow creases in confusion.] ...You're not my descendant.

[If dead authors made of ink and magic have to eat, they have to sleep and dream too.

[2, 3, 4, 10, and 11 are the most likely for him - because there's nothing like being murdered by some vast cosmic destroyer over and over and over again...]

[Wanda keeps strange hours these days, so it's really only a matter of chance until they're asleep at the same time and the strength of both Stephen's power and nightmares draws her in. Or perhaps it's nothing more than the echoes of the Infinity Stones calling to one another.

She does not have long to be upset about the rain and complete lack of shelter on a road in the middle of nowhere before there's a terrible screech and series of sickening crashes as a car skids off the road and over a cliff before she can react. Old habits die hard, and immediately Wanda takes off half-running, half-floating towards the wreckage.

This is not the first time she's wandered into someone else's dreams, though she's expecting to see Clint (because really, what hasn't he done?) when she peers through the shattered remnants of the window, not some stranger.

It looks bad. She can feel the presence of another mind and knows it's only a dream, but still...]

[thechampion]

[ They happen, and they happen frequently. Some nights they're quiet, a creeping silence that leaves him frozen in his sleep. Flashes of his year in captivity, of what he was forced to go through, of what he saw. When it happens, those are the best nights. It's not terrible. But it's not great.

But then other nights, like tonight, they seize him, rock him, and he can't help but react in the waking world. He flops around, muttering words that mean nothing, sometimes whimpering in pain. His limbs twitch, and soon enough the blanket's gone, tossed to the floor, and only one word comes through with any clarity. ]

Stop.

02...

[kicksdogs]

[Dio has always been in the habit of waking early, even when he didn't plan for it. It was a habit formed long ago before his mother's death - waking up early gave him time to avoid Dario before he woke up from whatever alcoholic slumber he put himself in. Later, waking up early meant having the time to take care of his mother in her dying days before he took himself out to the streets for work and pick pocketing strangers. By this point it was a habit he never tried to break himself out of. There wasn't a need to now.

He wakes up before the sun rises and the faint sound of a few birds chirping outside his bedroom window greets him. As he leaves his bedroom, sleep shirt rumpled and his hair matching, he doesn't expect anyone else to be awake at this hour so the rumbling lump on the couch takes him by mild surprise. Usually Joseph was awake enough when he came back from work to fall asleep in his own room, but it looked like this time was an exception. Dio was ready to leave him be and starts to walk past him towards the kitchen when he hears Joseph growling in his sleep. Curious, Dio steps a little closer, ears perking up to pick up the strange noises Joseph was emitting when it hits him.

He was having a nightmare. The scrunched up look on his face and the slight raise of his lips, curling back to show his teeth were obvious enough, but Dio debated still doing anything. Why should he care if Joseph was having a bad dream? He looks between Joseph and the kitchen and scowls. The quiet morning he enjoyed by himself would be ruined by the sounds of Joseph's whimperings. So he makes up his mind.

Dio reaches out to firmly shake at Joseph's shoulder, his voice low but not quite a whisper.]

Joseph. Joseph, wake up.
