Do You Ever Dream About Werewolves?
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 1:57 am
I finally thought up a second topic for discussion! I think this is the right board for this, though sometimes these things can be tricky to decide.
Do werewolves ever appear in your dreams? If so, how? Are you one of them? Are they frightening and nightmarish, or fun and positive experiences?
I love talking about dreams, and fortunately mine are vivid and frequent. Over the years I have noticed that in many of these dreams I am a werewolf. I usually have werewolf dreams once every few weeks to months, and I try to remember to write them down the next day. If they are good enough I sometimes use them to inspire my artwork. I have noticed two basic themes with these dreams, so I will divide them into two broad categories.
In Control- Usually I am a werewolf. I can change myself into full wolf form like my characters, and it brings a feeling of great freedom and enjoyment. I usually don’t try to hurt people in these dreams.
Out of Control- I am more likely to not be the werewolf. In these dreams, if I am a werewolf, I experience feelings of great fear or anger. Often, when feeling threatened, I transform and massacre people in ways worthy of all the most popular horror movies. When I am violent I am usually in a hybrid form, like the kind Goldenwolf is so well known for drawing. These angry dreams seem to have a cathartic effect, and I often wake up feeling that those people got what they deserved. Otherwise I never hurt people in dreams, but I do have many frightening ones where people are trying to kill me.
Overall I really love having these dreams. They give me experiences that I will never get to come close to having in real life, and I am glad that I can remember them in so much detail. I will give some examples, for anyone who likes reading this kind of thing. I would also love to hear what other people have dreamed, for comparison.
In Control-
I was walking along a dusty road in a desert-like place, and I saw a man in a pickup truck disposing of some cats and dogs he had killed by the side of the road. I went to a phone booth to report him for animal cruelty, but when I described him I was told that he was actually a serial killer that the police were looking for. I got really scared, and I turned and looked at his truck to see what he was doing. He had seen me talking on the phone and was coming right at me. Instead of running away, I walked toward him. At first he was confused and he stopped. I get mad at him, so I turn into a werewolf and run right at him. He runs screaming to his truck and just barely makes it in, and as he drives away I chase him down the road.
I was running away from someone who was trying to kill me. I escaped into the woods and found several other people and went with them. Then I discovered that I had left my shoes behind, and it began to snow a lot. I could feel that my feet were freezing and I was afraid that I would get frostbite and die. To survive I turned myself into a wolf.
I was going on a trip to a ski resort with a bunch of friends and relatives. It’s something they do sometimes, but I’ve never gone with them. In the dream, I was a werewolf and everybody knew about it. They knew that I wasn’t dangerous though, so they decided to try to see me when I transformed at night. I felt kind of embarrassed to have people watching me do that, and I was also worried that when I was a wolf I would get scared and hurt someone. I tired to explain this to them to get them to leave me alone, but they wouldn’t listen. They cornered me in a room when they knew it would be time for me to transform, but I got past them and jumped out a window. The next day they tried even harder, but I got away again. It was fun after I escaped though, because then I was able to change into a black wolf and run around in the mountainside forest.
Out of Control-
I was watching but I did not participate in the dream. A man had been captured and tied to a chair in a very dark room. Someone walked up to him and said that he was going to be very useful to him. He pulled out a syringe full of a green fluid, and said that it was "tabula rasa,” a drug that was used for brainwashing. The man in the chair was a werewolf, and after he had his memory erased the other man began to train him to be an assassin. I woke up feeling sad that I could not interfere to save him.
I was sick or injured in some way, so I was in a hospital. I was sleeping on a huge bed that was big enough to fit three people on it. There was one other person lying next to me, and another bed of the same size with two people sleeping on it on the other side of the room.
Suddenly some hospital staff opened the door and walked into the room carrying two more patients. I looked up to see them enter, but the other three people kept sleeping. One of the new patients was silent, but the other one seemed upset and he kept screaming about being blind. The hospital workers placed the "blind" man on the bed next to me, and the other man on the other bed, then left the room.
After they were gone things quickly took a terrifying turn. The new patient on the other bed started snarling like an animal, and when he opened his mouth his teeth were like a wolf’s fangs. He then started attacking both of the people on the bed next to them, and they were too weak to defend themselves.
At the same time the “blind” man also snarled at me, and then he pounced on me and knocked me off of the bed. I fought him as well as I could, but he was biting me all over. I looked up and saw that the two people on the other bed were being killed, so I screamed at the person who was still on “my” bed to get up and help them. He was either too weak or too scared, so he stayed where he was.
Then the door opened and armed policemen came into the room. They immediately shot the man who was mauling the two people on the bed, but it was too late to save them. The “blind” man grabbed me and tried to use me as a shield, but they shot him in the head and killed him.
Now everyone thought that all was safe again, but only I realized the terrible truth. The two men had been werewolves, and since I had been bitten I would be one too.
I was at the zoo taking pictures. There was an exhibit with wolves, and a family of foxes had gotten in and started living with the wolves. There was an elephant exhibit next to the wolves, and a huge crowd of people got into it and started attacking the elephants. Then a bunch of people with guns broke into the zoo and took everyone there hostage. I got tired of waiting for the police to rescue us, so I turned into a werewolf and killed them.
I was lying in my bed, and I looked up to see a man standing over me with a gun. I quickly jumped up from the bed and changed into a werewolf, then grabbed him by the throat and crushed him to death.
And just for fun, some other animal transformation dreams-
I started to get a strange and powerful desire to eat people. I searched for an explanation, and found that it was because I had been a tiger in a previous life. In other dreams I just turn into a tiger and eat people.
I was an anthro leopard and I ran around kidnapping and attacking people. Lots of people were chasing me and trying to capture me, but I would snarl at them and scratch their faces or bite them on the neck. At the end of the dream I ran away and hid in the jungle. I met some people there who told me that the jungle was owned by a tiger, and he was going to punish me for being evil.
