sleeping

I used to think when you slept, you would really be dead for a short period of time, then your heart would start working again.

I used to believe that if you dreamed you were falling and you hit the ground, you'd die in your sleep.

When I was a little girl and frequently woke up at night having nightmares. I would go climb in bed with mom and dad, and everytime I did, mom was sleeping on her back. Well I thought that only mom's could sleep on their backs. So I grew up sleeping on my tummy. When grown tho, I found out it was true. When you are pregnant, you can only sleep on your back, or side! I did learn to sleep on my back.

When i was little i refused to sleep with my bedroom window open even in the hottest summer nights. The reason being even on my second storey bedroom i used to beleive if i left my window open Wolves would fly in and play on my bed while i was sleeping in it. I think it must have stemmed from a dream but it had me terrified for years

when i was younger i read a book where someone slept with a calculator under thier pillow and it made them really good at maths. i took this sptory literally and for a few weeks i slept with books about everything i wanted to learn about under my pillow thinking the knowledge would jus jump into my head..it never did.

I used to believe that when I went to sleep I would climb out the window and go flying. It was so real and I could see for miles. So at school after this I would jump off walls with a brolley trying to do it again.
I think to be honest I still fly in my sleep.

When I was little I used to think if I didn't fall asleep with my face facing the wall then a fire or burglary would happen at night.

i was a really little kid when i was in elementary school, and got made fun of for being so short. so because my mom told me that people grow during their sleep, every night i would lay in bed fully stretched out in the hopes that i would grow. unfortunetly it didn't work.

My parents use to tell my siblings and I that if we played in a fire before bed that we would pee on the bed at night. We wanted to play in the fire they made somtimes sooo badly but, we didnt because we did not want to pee on the bed!!!

when i was younger my bed was by the wall, i would never sleep with my back to the room, always facing out with my back to the wall just in case a ghost would pinch my bum

I used to think if you grabbed onto something hard enough in your dreams, you could wake up with it in your grip.

For weeks I would dream of things, bear hug them or grip them as hard as possible and when I woke up, I would search the bed to see if I was able to bring them into the real world with me.

Rob

When I was a child (obviously) I believed whatever thought I had just before falling asleep would be what I dreamt about. I used to lie awake for hours, thinking about Sea World...

Felix

When I was a little girl, I never slept on my stomache, because I feared God would then be able to see my butt while I was asleep!

Crystal

I used to think that there were Indians under my bed. I would hear the drums beating if I put my head down on the matress. The longer I listened the more scared I got and the Indians would beat the drum louder and faster, louder and faster until I'd scream for my mommy.

Craig

I used to believe that "The Sandman" came every night, carrying a little bag of sand, shortly after I got into bed. He would wait outside the window (kindy floating like an angel). When I closed my eyes to go to sleep, he would come in and sprinkle some sand over my eyes, to help keep them shut and help me sleep better. The proof was when I woke up, there was still a little bit of the "sand" in the corners of my eyes.

Ok, when I was little, it was 1999, and I was reading a book no Dinosaurs. I asked my dad, "Daddy, will dinosaurs be in the year 2000?" Back then, I didn't know that dinosaurs have been extinct for more than 65 million years. He said, "Maybe. If there are, I'll make sure they don't hurt you." That night, continuing for about 3 weeks, I had a dream that I was a little girlscout selling Girlscout cookies, dinosaur shaped. When I opened the box, I dreamed that the cookies came to life, and terrorized my little made up world inside my head. After the three weeks, I believed that that was really what was going to happen in the year 2000. I never wanted it to come.

InsaneGirl

I used to believe when i was younger. that when i went to sleep at night i would float in my sleep to the dumpster and eat poop and that is why in the morning my breath smelled so bad. :( thats really off i know haha

ashley

I used to believe that when I kicked my blankets off in my sleep, a cannon ball came in through the window and shot them off.

When I was younger, I used to believe that when I slept and kept my palms open, a bird or something like that would "drop one" in there! I believed this because my older cousin told me a story back then of a little child who went to the bathroom and didnt have any toilet paper so he had to hold his poo in his hand. I was very crazy back then!
