Thought people might know what I mean.

Any movies give you a memorable dream or nightmare that you still remember and could explain why it was significant? haha. Might be a long shot for some. Just last night I had a totall Night Of The Creeps rip-off of a dream. There was the same slugs from that movie causing chaos in my town with in the dream. Even driving my car I saw a bunch of chaos due to the Alien slugs. I remember when I arrived home in the dream I ran to get my sister she she had been infected already. I had to barricade myself in another room where the Alien slugs kept breaking in to the room some how leaving me tormented. Okay so the dream was so not the horror comedy that Night Of The Creeps is. But some how it effected my dreams. haha. The subconcious works in mysterious ways.


Any movies or film concepts literally affect or influence your dreams? If so what movie and why?

SHAME  :wink:
It doesn't happen much now, but when I was a little kid I was definitely susceptible to stuff like that. Even just the cover art for movies like the ELM STREET and F13 series, and ALICE SWEET ALICE I definitely remember gave me nightmares.


THe first time I saw Dreyer's VAMPYR, I thought I *was* dreaming.

Odd this thread comes up, I watched American Psycho the other night and had a dream I was part of Patrick Bateman's inner circle of cool friends. Or something like that anyhow. 

After watching "zombie" movies like DAWN OF THE DEAD I had zombie nightmares.  Repeatedly.  Only have them NOW that I'm older, not when I first saw all those scary pictures! 

Haha. I once had a crazy zombie dream that was realistic and kind of styled similarly to the 28 days later movie. Those kind of zombies that were fast and ruthless. I just remember running for my life in the dream with chaos and fires on the road and stuff. haha. SMH

Did an essay on Vampire myth at University once which meant I was obligated to empty my local video store of every vampire related DVD they had.  I had weird vampire related dreams for a week.

I once had a dream that I was hanging out with Freddy Krueger at a cheap department store.  We were generally just hanging about the menswear section chatting and everynow and then he would murder someone then keep talking to me.

Last week after the news about Harold Ramis I had a dream that I was a Ghostbuster.  The only twist was the ghost trap thing was used on us instead of a ghost which turned us into batteries.  We used our new disguise to roll away sneakily from whatever it was that was hunting us.  I dunno about that one.  Just odd.

House of Psychotic Women/Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll used to give me nightmares due to its depiction of gouged-out eyeballs.  Bleargh!

I used to have a lot of dreams about Michael Meyers from the Halloween films.  Not always scary dreams.  One involving him being "rehabilitated" by a psychiatrist (not Loomis), and the doctor having a grand presentation in front of an audience showing just how far his progress came.  Didn't go so well..

Watching The Last Man on Earth as a kid gave me terrible nightmares. My mom told me I woke her up several times screaming like a banshee in my sleep.

Oh, and watching Jaws as a kid not only influenced my dreams, I was also afraid to go into deep waters for many years.

PREDATOR...I had recurring nightmares of being hunted down by one as teenager.

The movies Horror Express, Baffled and Crowhaven Farm gave me nightmares a lot as a child.  :buggedout:

The computer absorbed woman in SUPERMAN III actually gave me nightmares too....

I believe I had nightmares about The Nightmare in Elm Street movies when I was about 5.  I know the first movie freaked me out pretty bad.  Mostly because I had trouble discerning reality from fantasy at the time.  I was receptive to things then. 

Basketcase gave me nightmares.  Like fleshy blobs coming out of bags and boxes and such. 

After watching Star Wars i had a dream that the mall near me had a docking bay like the one the Millenium Falcon was sucked into on the Death Star.  People were just casually munching their pretzels and eat/drinking their Orange Julius' as they strolled past a docking bay full of space ships.

You would think so-but no-never. My dreams are so weird-they make no sense at all. I mean-NO SENSE!
Its like Dali did acid.
Lately I been having bad dreams of people hurting my kids and I have to kill them...but its real weird-I try to escape with them threw weird mazes and buildings...?
But we dont have guns-we have-machetes?-or pipes-? or our hands shoot out rays?
Its weird.
Like a 70's Kung Fu movie.
So yeah-I guess my dreams are like a '70's Kung Fu movie.

I see no problem here.  :smile:

After seeing "The Philadelphia Experiment" I had a disturbing nightmare. There was a huge,multi-car pile up on the main highway out of my home town. They decided to simply pave over the bodies instead of cleaning it up....so there were arms and legs sticking out of the road. That one gave me cold chills.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
Not the face-melting, the snakes.

That reminds me of the urban legend regarding the Manila Film Center where people were buried under wet concrete in order to get the building completed on time by order of Ferdinand Marcos and Mrs Shoes.  :buggedout:
