Ever Been Spooked (Directly or Indirectly) By Your Doll?

By usual movements caused by handling them I have been hit on my face, my arms have been pinched by some of their joints and some have grabbed my hair with his/her hands, several times, although few since I have them. I have never been afraid nor scared of my BJD because of this. In fact because of pics of them, the way they look or my thoughts either. I love horror movies and I think this thread is really interesting, but it has never happened to me nor may imagine it would in my case.

 

nevermind, my thread was destroyed, im sad now

 

My friend and i were watching dead silence and my friend said "i don't think we should watch this with our dolls...." and we look over and my kuns head had like completely turned to us.... It was freaky

 

Sometimes, my roommate likes to take my dolls and move them around to places and poses where they look creepy or ominous.
-_-; once she left my yo-sd in the hallway, standing in front of my door, pointing at the exact spot where I come out of my room.
Creepy? oh yeah. But, I dont ever think my dolls would want to hurt me, since I try to make them clothes and jewelry and such.
If she was pointing at me, then she might just be asking me to change her outfit, since she's worn it for too long. XD

 

the only thing that spooks me sometimes is how his emotions seem to change o.0 but im not a person who gets scared of things easily but i do have a friend that is absolutely terrified of dolls

 

yes I have XD, he moved on his own which freaked me out a lil, but it was mom mom who found him the most freaky, she had issues going in my room for a while, she found him creepy.

 

If this is a bad thread remove if necessary

So, I've been wondering because in the last couple days I've been thinking of selling some dolls for a strange reason. I had a terrible nightmare about a couple of my dolls trying to kill me and now I'm scared to touch them, ever since I've been considering selling.

So here's some questions I would like to discuss.

Is it okay to sell dolls for an obscure reason or a reason you do not like?

Have you ever sold a doll for an obscure reason or reason you did not like?

Is there any alternative?

and on the topic of my dream;

Would you sell your dolls if you had an experience that made you nervous of them?

 

For awhile I was terrified of bjds, too. Though I never had a nightmare, it was some level of a phobia.
I was afraid of being attacked and/or killed. So I talked about it with someone and they helped me realize that that was quite rediculous.

The same thing happened awhile ago. I have a friend who is very iffy to me because of the way she acts. I had a nightmare that she was attacking me, and I was quite scared. But after talking about it with someone a few times, I realized that this too didn't make any sense. I wanted to get rid of one of my best friends because of a figment of my imagination. So it's sort of the same thing.

 

i hate selling due to money needs

 

It would have to be a pretty extreme experience to make me nervous of them. I have had several really creepy nightmares about horses and they have turned horses into an icon of ultimate creepiness in my head, but when I'm actually around a horse I'm just fine, because it's just a horse. So I think it would be the same for my BJDs, and they'd still just be dolls when I was around them.
Anyway, I'm not really a seller. I'm a stasher. So I'd probably stick them in the closet for a while, maybe even a couple years if I was REALLY freaked out. (Bungee it closed, dolls can't undo bungees from the inside.)

Aaaand I just realized I'm covered in chocolate.

 

I can see you not wanting to be around them for a couple of days, because of a freaky dream you had about them. Dreams can be like that.

But selling them because you had a bad dream about them - once? I think you're taking this dream too seriously.

Sure, the jury's still out on how significant dreams are, but I'm with those people who believe that dreams are brought about by stuff you thought of during the day. For me, sometimes things I spend two seconds thinking about can become the topic of my dream. I never take them seriously; and even ones that have me in the same kind of place, it's more of "not this place again".

And a lot of times, even interesting dreams go away. Scary dreams, for me, tend to lose their scary after I fall asleep again, or even the day after.

 

Hmm, well I guess it's possible for a doll to kill someone if it's dropped from a height so far off the ground that the velocity during the fall increases to the point where it causes death on impact...

 

I'm one to believe that dreams are a reflection of our state of subconscious, and sometimes our mind can use symbols and imagery that are culturally or personally relevant to communicate the meaning, feelings or emotions. Are dolls trying to harm you? If not, perhaps it is because your hobby is causing you to harm yourself through money spending, or some sort of similar scenario.
Could some sort of force in your life. represented by dolls, be trying to end something, or a end a state of being?
Etcetera.

 

Thats a good thought sundaes. I mean the night before I had this dream I dreamed of myself getting a DoD Camine, and last night I was dreaming about a VOLKS girl I have been looking at on the MP

 

I know that there are some people out there who are terrified of dolls and could never get into the hobby. But are there any of us fans out there who love their dolls but are afraid of them at the same time?

I wasn't afraid of my dolls at all until I had a nightmare about them last night. Now I'm slightly scared of my dolls, but not enough to hinder my love for them.

Has anyone had any nightmares about their dolls or have trouble being around them for too long? Do you lock them up at night? I leave my 1/6 dollfie out on my shelf at night but I can't have her facing me or else I get scared. I might put her away though. I put Aprella in her box at night but I may put her in my closet at night too now.

Edit: Forgive me if there's another thread like this! I feel like there is but I couldn't find one when searching, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat.

 

I have always been afraid of dolls. I dont know what it is they just creep me out. So when i first got interested in bjds i thought i could never possibly own one. but at the same time i knew i had to have one. After i got my doll she stayed in her box when it was bed time, for the longest time. Now i am comfortable enough to have her out, although sometimes it seems she watches me and my husband. also one of my cats is really drawn to her. i mean she loves her she will lay with her and rub her. its weird. well i told another bjd lover about this, and she said maybe my doll has a spirit living in her! that creeped me out! especially since i have been known to have spirits follow me.

 

I used to have my boy sleep beside me, and sometimes (when I switched off the light) I did get scared... I usually just started to talk to him, like "good boy", "you're the cutest boy ever", "goodnight, I have to sleep now"... etc. LOL I know the things I said are pretty stupid but it makes me feel less scared ~:p...

 

no. never
since I was a kid, I believed my toys and plushies protected me from monsters xD so I've ALWAYS had a positive view on them

 

At first a couple of things creeped me out, like the unrealistic ways their joints can act or what they look like headless or without their head cap. Now nothing really does. I've taken them apart and put them back together and redone faceups too much to be bothered by how they look in almost any situation. I don't like them to be left in unnatural or uncomfortable postures, and prefer them to stay clothed, but that's sympathy for the characters they shell, I think.

I've seen how scary dolls can be in horror stuff, but even so dolls themselves have never scared me.

 

Haha, yes I think so too I always felt protected by my toys when I was a kid I collected Pullips before and they sometimes look scary because of their huge head XD But I am not scared of them
