Actual Dreams About Your Doll

I had a dream recently in which I actually had all of my characters turned into dollies! I felt like crying when I woke up... QQ

 

I've had a lot of dreams about my doll, and she hasn't even arrived yet! XD

Some were from before I ordered her, where I either liked her or disliked her, but they were pretty vague otherwise.
After watching box opening videos on youtube, I started dreaming more vivid dreams about her arrival. I'm a LOT less worried about whether I like her or not because I seem to always like her in my dreams now, except there's often complications surrounding her haha...
My subconscious seems quite conflicted over my first doll/expensive purchase... I wish it would just let me sleep so that I can enjoy my future BJD! Hopefully the dreams will calm down once she arrives.

 

I had a dream recently that left me in a cold sweat. It wasn't entirely about my dolls, but I guess I'd moved to this college town and met this really cool girl who I found out was also into dolls. She had this amazing doll (and I'm pretty sure it was an IoS Infernale) and we got along great. I guess she had to go somewhere and for some reason left me in charge of her doll, which I was surprisingly okay with. I met this other girl who was much more eccentric (and it only made sense that she looked like someone I can't stand IRL), but equally into dolls, so we went and hung out at her house. I think I had to go somewhere, so I left her with both my friend's doll and my dolls, and when I came back the doll I'd been left to take care of had been terribly painted/modded to the point where it was just ruined. I freaked, scooped up my dolls, and ran from the horror show thinking 'oh my dear lord how am I gonna fix this I don't have the money to replace that oh no oh no oh no'.

Then I woke up.

 

I had the dream that my dolls were stolen or lost...it scared me and made me so sad....this is the only dream that I could remember so far...

 

I've had dreams about them before, but it's usually in relation to the characters they represent. I still have a vague recollection of a dream I had before ever receiving my Chiwoo. He was taken by a woman who disliked me and set in an oven where his skin crackled and popped into an unrecognizable burnt husk. I have the vivid recollection of the way he looked on that baking tray, but can't recall the details of the dream. As someone with training in psychology now, I feel as though this was a manifestation of my fears surrounding the doll at the time: how others would react, my fear of breaking it, etc. It also could have represented a lack of trust in others at that time.

Recently however, I had a dream where the character that was first given that shell as representation expressed his amusement and disgust in my choice of representation. It was random and rather funny. I have no clue where it came from. There was no special meaning. It's just hysterical. He kept looking at it, tilting his head, and shaking it in frustration because he was not wide eyed or cute like it. How could it possibly represent him? The muse was restless, it seems, and wants a different body.

 

So I ordered all the parts to make a body for my DD Alisa head and it should be delivered today. But last night I had a dream that when it was delivered my girl opened the box herself (don't know how, she's just a head), puts her own body together, prances around and then looks at her chest and goes, "I'm glad we went with the larger bust."

 

I have had several doll dreams actually. When I was waiting on my DC Elizabeth I had a dream that I got her early but she didn't look anything like I wanted her to and that i was really disappointed. Luckily that did not happen when I actually got her ^^! The most recent one was super weird! Last Monday I had a dream that I had won a YoSD/Tiny doll somehow and that I had to go to a store and replace her outfit because it was too big for her. (also the store was full of doll scale furniture and accessories, and had a nightmarish haunted basement LOL) Anyway, I went to a meet on Saturday and ended up unexpectedly trading one of my dolls that was for sale for a Soom Glot, and I never thought I'd have a YoSD size doll. I wasn't sure at first but now I'm in love and it really was a dream come true, haha!

 

I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that my house was on fire, everybody was outside but I went into the house looking for my dolls. I found all of them except Kyoshi (my avatar) and I refused to leave without him. I searched everywhere, there was smoke everywhere and my mom was yelling for me to get out but I said "no! I'm not leaving without him." After a while the fire stopped and I felt a huge relief because I have found my boy and there was no fire anymore.


I woke up today thinking how he means so much for me. I'm so glad it didn't turn out into an ugly dream

 

I had a couple of dreams recently where I found myself in a crowded area with my doll and for some reason I placed he was in a small thin plastic bag facing down. (It's the same doll in both dreams) In one of the dreams, he had some dark aura around him and I was a little frighten so I placed the bag in a temple. I was about to leave when I stopped and told myself that I couldn't leave him there. I ran back to retrieve him but it was too late. I saw a man taking the bag....

I can't remember what happen after that. When I woke up, I was like why would I even do that!! It was quite a nightmare.

 

I've had only one doll dream so far, that was when I had decided what sculpt would be my first, but hadn't ordered it yet.

I don't remember much, but in the dream my doll had arrived and I had apparently ooened the package in my school cafeteria. I remember being horribly disappointed of the company face-up, it looked nothing like the pictures.
Thanks to that I almost didn't choose the face-up option when placing the order, but in the end did after all and gladly in real life the face looked like what it was supposed to. :'D

 

I have the weirdest and most detailed dreams ever, and the other night I actually had a dream that was somewhat doll related, but also slightly X-rated...

I had just bought a very beautiful house on a hill, a mid-century modern style 1950s house with a backyard that was acres deep and descended into a slope that became increasingly steeper before dead-ending into a creek at the back of the property. Everything in the dream was sort of dated (1950s style) and I was wearing a 50's style house dress and apron (I never, ever wear dresses) and doing some ridiculously stereotypical domestic activities like ironing linens and polishing silverware. For one reason or another, I decided to walk down the hill in the back yard to the creek at the bottom, which was a strange creek because across the water on the opposite side there was this rickety chain link fence, and then an abrupt drop-off that looked to be hundreds of stories high. At that moment, I figured that wading into the creek would be a good idea, and that's when I started to see them: countless beautiful, shiny, large nautilus shells covered in intricate patterns. The smallest was about the size of my fist, and the largest was a bit bigger than my head. I kicked off my kitten heels (lol), hitched up my dress, and waded into the water to pick one up, turning it around in my hands in awe. Briefly, I caught a glimpse of what was inside of the shell. There was what appeared to be a ball of tightly rolled up bright red tentacles, which shifted and then suddenly began emerge, feeling their way up my arms. Alarmed, I immediately dropped the shell back into the water and began searching for one that was empty. After grabbing a few and checking inside of them for inhabitants, I finally found an empty one, which i carefully wrapped up in my apron and carried back to the house, satisfied with myself because it was the biggest and most beautiful one of them all. While running it under some water in the sink to remove any leftover algae and debris, those same red tentacles I had seen earlier began to emerge from the shell. Shocked, I dropped the shell into the sink, positive that it had been empty when I examined it in the creek. After taking a few steps away from the sink, an impossibly huge amount of tentacles began to pour out with the now overflowing water, writhing around on the floor and the counter. The shell then cracked, and a human-sized hand and forearm emerged. It was then that I noticed the arm had joints like a ball jointed doll's, followed by the rest of the body which also had joints, although they were strange in the fact that they were covered in skin which kind of just dipped down into the slots instead of being truly separate parts like a regular doll. Thoroughly confused at this point, I backed up against the wall and stared silently at the mass of tentacles and this human/doll hybrid that had just emerged from the shell. After a few moments, this "creature" stood up and took a few steps towards me. His face was very similar to the Dollshe fifth motif Venitu (one of which I actually have in the mail at this very moment) but with fuller lips, long dark hair, and his body was a lot like the IOS 80cm body I currently own. His expression almost disturbingly placid, he continued to approach until he was standing inches away from where I was flattened against the wall. I just stood there, cowering, frozen in terror. He must have been like 7 feet tall, because i'm around 5'9'' and he absolutely towered over me. Before I had time to react, the tentacles that were lying in a tangled heap on the floor behind him (and apparently attached to his back) whipped out and pinned me against the wall violently, knocking the wind out of me and dragging me up towards the ceiling, wrapping tightly around my arms, thighs, neck, everywhere. I attempted to struggle in vain, paralyzed, as the tentacles continued to appear endlessly, and I realized in horror that they were actually going through my skin and into my body. And then, as if things couldn't get any weirder, somewhere along the line, the experience went from mind-numblingly terrifying to oddly and overwhelmingly pleasurable, and he was suddenly on the ceiling as well, pressed up against me, strange, terrifying, and beautiful as he was. I'll let you use your imagination for the remainder of what happened between then, and the tentacles tightening around my neck to the point that i started to lose consciousness. I woke up totally weirded out in a cold sweat. Buuuuuut I got my shipping notice from dollshe!

tl;dr The dream went from completely freaking weird, to utterly terrifying, to some twisted, totally hentai-inspired $hi+. What even...

Edit: I'm actually tempted to shell (no pun LOL) this "character" now, but i'm sure my IOS body won't match my Venitu's head (I got him in a honey skin color). He was like a freaky incubus or something. Although I'm not really one to create characters for my dolls (I'm so boring), this was just so totally out-there, and it'd be a really interesting mod if I could pull it off correctly.

 

I had a dream in which I was cleaning my house and I found this doll that belonged to someone in my local group. I didn't remember borrowing it or anything and I was about to send them a message on facebook about it when I uncovered more dolls and doll parts that didn't belong to me! Then two detectives came into my house and were asking about stolen dolls, and I cooperated and explained I didn't know how the dolls had gotten here but I would be willing to look through my house to see if I could find any more of the missing ones, and we found several in my room and around the house. I kept lifting up sheets or my brother's toys and finding more dolls! At some point I was looking through photos on my phone and I found pics of those dolls in my house from several days eariler, AND a video of me THROWING some of the dolls at a wall! I really didn't remember any of it and I was flustered trying to explain that I didn't -think- I had done any of that and I wasn't sure why those pics were on my phone and they were on the verge of taking me into custody (and I on the verge of tears) when I woke up. I remember feeling absolutely mortified before I realized it was just a dream. Still, it was scary! I had been less worried about being arrested than the fact that my memory was screwed up AND I had somehow stolen someone's precious dolls, which would make them hate me or at least shun me for being a dirty bjd thief, and I would feel really bad about the dolls themselves. D: That and the whole throwing-them-at-a-wall thing. Overall NOT a good dream!


Other than that, I've had several dreams in which I'm shopping at the Ringdoll section at Wal-Mart (lol!) and trying to see a doll I want in person, but I end up dropping the box or screwing up the faceup or something. Also,
-going to a doll meetup in a location such as the middle of the woods where I really don't want to bring my dolls but I don't know how to say no
-planning which dolls to take to a meetup, or just examining my collection, and finding out I have more dolls than I thought or at least a lot of parts from impulse head buying or something, which I then have to figure out how to put them all together so each head has a body that matches at least somewhat... and THEN having to pack them all...
-Meeting my dolly senpais and getting to hold their dolls and being worried about looking bad in front of them or accidentally damaging their dolls...
-Trying to get a good look at a Ringdoll Spencer(my grail) in person, either at the aforementioned retail store, or the lovely one belonging to said dolly senpai, but never quite managing it due to vision problems, foggy windows, or Wal-mart having EVERY OTHER doll in stock except that one!

 

I have dreams about doll plans all the time! I obsess about things I want in my sleep. I wake up thinking I've gotten things done that I still need to do! I dreamed last night that I had the doll I want next on the MP on layaway...and I can't even begin to do that until I've paid off the two layaways I have already! I've also dreamed I had so many dolls I couldn't get out of my room because they were packed in. Not all bjds, but like, TONS of dolls. xD And dolls are just peripherally in my dreams that take place in my room (or whatever dreaming me thinks is my room). I'm glad I haven't dreamed about them being destroyed!

 

Not a dream but a nightmare I had when my first doll was coming home.
I dreamed that I had ordered her through a group order (which I didn't) and, when I opened it, she was into pieces and I didn't know how to put it together. When I held her face and other parts of her body in my hands, trying to figure out how could I restring her, the pieces where so thin that they started to brake or melt.
I woke up almost crying and, although I knew it had only been a dream, I felt very nervous and scared. Fortunately nothing like that happened, she came in one piece, perfectly beautiful, made of good and strong resin.

Besides that remarkable event, my dolls are usually present as decorations when I dream something realistic about my life (which doesn't usually happen because my sleeping mind prefers to play with dragons than to deal with exams xD).

 

Not about my own dolls exactly, but I did have a dream once that I found two Tinies in a trash compactor chute at work, and had someone lock out-tag out the machine so we could fish them out. They were only slightly damaged, easily repairable, and I got permission to keep them.

I was a little bummed I didn't get new dolls when I woke up. And confused, because the store where I work doesn't have a trash compactor.

 

It's not uncommon for me to dream of dolls, sadly my dreams mostly consist of dolls I don't have. In my dreams people buy them for me and give me some they don't want anymore, it fills me with so much joy even though the sculpt isn't any in particular. As you probably would assume, it's truly devastating when I wake up from having ten dolls, to only have one.

 

I don't think I've ever dreamed about dolls I actually own... I just dream about ones that're on order, heh. When I first ordered Gabrys I needed to change an item on the order, and I dreamed that someone read it and was cussing me out in Korean (which tbh was probably the case, though they were perfectly lovely and helpful)... and then when he shipped I dreamed that only his head and thighs arrived. A month or so ago I dreamed that Dollshe messed up my order and that instead of arriving in dark grey he was stark white and his stringing was so loose it was like holding a wet noodle, and then last night after reluctantly concluding I wasn't going to buy a Granado Nico, I dreamed he was on sale for about $255, colossal body and all, and it was such a good price I couldn't resist even though that body is way too big for me. ...Which is probably half the reason why I'm trying to work out if I can get him after all now.

I wouldn't say no to actually dreaming about Gabrys instead of weird dreams about dolls I don't have!

 

I always have dreams about dolls i have on order. The last time i had a dream my doll came in the mail and she was all rubbery and floppy and her tan skin was so blotchy and she didnt have joints she was like a rubber chicken and the dream seemed so real i was so upset then i woke up haha i always have bad dreams about them.

 

I have had two dreams which I can remember.

In first dream I was walking outside with my doll and accidentally dropped her. Her head detached from her body, rolled down a rocky hill and ended up in lake. Luckily I got her head back but it was all dented and scratchy. I was really upset because the company I bought her from don't sell her head separately and thought about possible substitutes for it.

I had my second dolly dream after I had read many stories about kicking dolls. In the dream I was opening a box and raised the doll out of the box. Suddenly she kicked me to my stomach and ran out of my hands. I jumped after her because I didn't want her to run around my apartment and then we struggled for a while. She was kicking me and I tried to calm her without breaking her. I woke up before she was completely calm and was amused by that dream.

 

Mine are all mundane, lol. First dream before I even got my doll is I dreamed my mom opened him up before me And then I had a dream with a bunch of other stuff that's much weirder going on, but I had to give him a bath and accidentally washed off his faceup! I was pretty nonchalant about it.
