Related to the Otherlife movie, which reminded me of some old dreams from perhaps 10 years ago or so.
All of them had a "dungeon master" presence or some kind of a being that had designed the dream and observed my behaviour. The dreams were always designed to keep me preoccupied with something for a specific amount of time (until the alarm, typically). Some examples of what they tried:
These guys were pretty pissed at me because of how complicated I made their task. At least, that's what their emotions betrayed. They always had to come up with new dreams in order to avoid me waking up because it was their job. One night I woke up with the body still half-asleep and caught someone whispering things to the subconscious mind. Haven't had anything of the sort ever since.
Except for a bit different case, perhaps. Woke in a pretty dark realm with memories replaced. Lived in a wooden building and the townsfolk had figured out I was a witch or something, and came with pitchforks and torches and stuff. Created a chain of portals, each one to as bright a realm as I could imagine. About 30 portals later, I could remember that I had simply gone to bed and fallen asleep.
Has anyone else had similar dreams?

Interesting.
In early childhood, I had very frequent nightmares (witches, ghosts and places falling apart, mainly). Without them, I probably wouldn't have developed as good lucidity and control over dreams.
I've had plenty of dreams with an old hag as well. In some I've gone looking for her, in some I just know she's in the basement and I must not wake her up.She's a part of me that I've been afraid of since early childhood. Although I've been scared of her, I know she doesn't really mean any harm. Should figure out how to sincerely hug her at some point :3.
There have been some kind of monster-looking things as well, feeding off emotions. Though, I became numb to them over the years.
