When I was little I used to hear my dad snoring in bed at night, I thought that it was an alligator in there trying to eat the sheets off the bed gulp by gulp so he could get to my parents.

You know how sometimes you have a dream but you can't tell if it was a dream or ture? Well, when I was younger I dreamt that a Barbie Doll Convertable Car with and evil Barbie and Ken came driving by and tried to run over me when I had fallen on the floor. I was always scared to hang my hand down the side of my bed after that and I actually still am to this day. I know it's not real, but if I imagine it hard enough, I can think that the evil Barbie Car is actually under my bed waiting to attack me. And I'm 19!!!

i always believed that when you went to sleep that your eyes rolled back and looked at your brain until one day my mom said "im tired. i think i'll go watch the back of my eyelids." then i realized your eyes dont roll back.

I used to believe that elves came in at night and moved me while I was sleeping, thus my changed position when I awoke.

When I was little I knew people in england were 7 hours behind us on the clock ( I had relitives there). I also knew that if you slept time would move faster. I put these two knolages togeather to come up with the belife that we are all conected in our sleep. So if you were having a day when time seemed to slow down it ment that someone in england was not sleeping there for making your day longer

i used to believe that i could control my dreams by a computer that i had in my brain. i could simply call up a list of possible dreams and "click on" whicheer one i felt like having that night. for some reason my favorite was one called "fish in a bonnet," which was about this little striped fish that wore a pink bonnet and solved crimes.

My little brother once asked what snoring was. When we explained it was a breathing thing while you slept, he seemed very surprised. We asked him what's wrong, and he said, "Don't you stop breathing when you sleep?"

A Breath of Fresh Air

I used to believe that when people are sleeping they stop breathing. So when it was time to go to sleep and i wasnt asleep asleep yet, my mom would come check on me so i would hold my breath and close my eyes.

I had problems with nightmares when I was younger and everynight I would repeat "There's no such thing" over and over again hoping that I could convince myself. But I guess my sister who slep in the bottom bunk got aggrivated with my muttering at night and told me that it was no use. That I was too smart for my own good, that I knew the truth. That there was such a thing. And my sister was always so mean that I thought if she was actually calling me smart that she must be telling the truth. I don't think I had a nightmare-less night for a month. I was terrified to sleep. I never really connected the dots that when I used to mutter to myself - it actually did work.

When I was very small I used to beleive that at the moment you start to fall asleep you actually are falling "up". As if your spirit is ripped from your body every night, I would hold on to the covers for dear life and if I started to drift I would jerk myself awake.

my mom believes that one should never fall asleep around 6pm. thats coz only witches sleep those hours. so when i was little if i ever fall asleep i used watch my face in mirror and make sure that i didnt tranform into a scary witch .....

I used to think that our dreams were reality, and the reality we live in and remember was a dream that our brain creates to keep itself sane in the crazy world of "the real".

My mom told me that you have nightmares because you are thinking about scary thoughts befoer you go to bed and that whatever you think about before you go to bed will be what you dream about. So, for years, I just pictured in my head myself, surrounded by a huge crowd, saying "I love people." and everyone would go "Awww..." I thought of this repeatedly until I fell asleep.

When I was a kid I used to think that I was just dreaming my whole life and that I would wake up at any minute.

When I was about four, I used to believe that when you fell asleep you actually died. Any dreams you had were the afterlife you experienced that night until you would come back to life the next morning. It wasn't that I missunderstood what death was at that age. I literally thought you died.

when i was in 2nd grade someone had a health book for 6th graders. Some one said when u sleep ur eyes go back into your brain, i believed that until 5th grade

Scarred For life!

When I was little, I though death was going to sleep and never waking up, so I was terrified of having a nightmare and not waking up.

I used to believe that if you got up in the middle of the night the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) would get you. So i was always scared and one night my mum woke me up because we were going abroad and we got to the other country half asleep and i screamed the hotel down because i thought the bfg had got me!
