This isn't my weirdest dream by far, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Last night I dreamt that a giant Lego Conan (a Lego Conan, not a Conan made of Lego - there's a difference) was stomping around Los Angeles for no apparent reason while laughing his fake insane laughter.
Imagine this, only larger and with red hair:

dramaparoxysm, that image just inspired some very loud inappropriate-decibel-level-for-my-work-environment laughter.
A bunch of guys with long hair (think Fabio) broke into my house and to defend myself I got one of my brother's martial arts swords, when I attacked them I cut them in half and they turned into stacks of paper.
I hate when you wake up and you don't realize you were just dreaming.
The other day I was taking a nap, and I had a dream that Emily Skinner came over to my house and was borrowing something from me. So I went upstairs to get it for her, and while I was up there I accidentally fell asleep. So when I woke up I was like OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT EMILY. So I run downstairs into my living room and I was actually calling "Emily? Emilyyyyy?" Pretty embarassing when you realize what actually happened.
All of my dreams look like Julie Taymor movies.
A few months ago I had this dream where I was at a wedding and everyone started screaming and running. Apparently, Wayne Brady was trying to blow the place up. Go figure.

I had a dream that featured Mel Brooks and zombies. I have no idea what the dream was about, but Mel Brooks was there and so were zombies.
I had a dream once that I went to a dive of a gay bar on Halloween in Memphis, Tn and Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft were there. We three partied all night but they would not answer my questions about Judy.

I had one a few days ago. It's incredibly hard to explain (especially since I'm not too sure myself what happened) so I'll just say the jumble of items i remember:
Twas Sweeney Todd and Phantom mixed; went into theater; had to pee; went to bathroom; swinging door; swimming tubes; ended up at the top of a balcony; some dudes where chasing me; they needed me to take over Sweeney's job; i was scared of chopping off heads; tried running; did like a quadrupal flip onto the ground floor; dude chased me; cornered me to door where the head chopping was taking place; something about vegetarians; smelly; begger woman except it was Christine Daae telling me not to go in the door; then i have no clue
What I find funny is that all my thoughts from two minutes before I fell asleep got turned into this mess. Sweeney Todd cause I had just watched the movie. Phantom because I was listening to Mermaid and was thinking about Sierra Boggess who was Christine in Vegas. The flip-I had come home from gymnastics. Vegetarians-my friend is one and is always taunting me about how gross it is to eat a pigs butt. Bathrooms and swimming-was feeling ecstatic that i dont have to swim in gym class anymore.
The irony: I told myself before seeing Sweeney Todd that I would only watch it because there was no possible way I could get a nightmare from a musical about a barber slicing peoples heads...I was wrong

Pippin, I once had a dream that I was slowly being eaten by a giant snake in the forest - does that mean I'm just plain screwed?
grnsmwhr, I've had experiences like that. It's called sleep paralysis and it's terrifying. Many people see images like the one you saw. People describe a strangling sensation, seeing a menacing figure in the room coming for them, and many also say a child or baby is often involved in the "hallucination," for lack of a better word.
I want to know taz' dream!
I have had SO many weird dreams, I can't even begin to list them all. They're all really long and detailed. The first one that comes to mind is one where I was Peter Pevensie from Narnia, but I fell through this pool of water at Mount Vernon, and when I crawled out, I was in a gothic shopping mall with creepy warped movie posters on the wall. As I walked around, I gradually transformed into the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and Susan got red eyes and a talon hand. Edmund loked the same, but he turned evil and kept killing people and piling their bodies in a haunted house ride. Meanwhile, the Beauty and the BEast poster on the wall, the Beast turned into PEter Pevensie. Weeeeird.
I also had a dream that was entirely in German a few years ago where I went to "band camp" (I don't play any instruments) but it was actually a training camp for Nazis. I had to wear a pink uniform because I was the only girl. They put me, a small boy, and a kid I know named Dante in a plastic bag, said there was enough oxygen for two people, and had to roll down a hill in the bag and that we'd all die unless we teamed up to kill the third person by the time we made it to the bottom. Instead, I chewed my way out of the bag. As punishment, I was led to my ninth grade biology classroom, where Keebler Elf posters and pink sticky notes with German poems on them were all over the room, and they forced me to eat a decomposing human foot.
I've also had lots of Harry Potter, Shrek, and Phantom of the Opera dreams, too, including one where I learned the Phantom of the Opera was a friend of mine and lived in my attic, and when I forced him to take off his mask, the only thing wrong with his face was one small zit.
All I can say is that I am really afraid for the life of whoever were to end up sleeping next to me. My dreams are so vivid sometimes and I make a huge mess of the blankets and hog the bed.
The latest dream I have that I can recall is being back at the Broadway Flea Market. I went over to the ticket raffle table and ended up winning 3 sets of tickets. Kristin Chenoweth and Cheyenne Jackson were manning the table. I showed my tickets to Cheyenne and he gave me the box with the tickets to pick out my own, and everything was crumpled in the box. I picked out my 3 sets, but 2 only had 1 so I started arguing with Cheyenne about getting a second ticket or not.
I gave up and realized I ended up with crappy tickets. One was to the new Fame movie, another was to a show in Indiana, and the 3rd was to an off Broadway production of The Star Spangled Girl, which I have no idea what that's about.
Then the dream switched to the movie theater where I went to see Fame, and an ex friend who still thinks I'm their friend spotted me. I ran through the theater which was circular and never ending. I finally got out to the parking lot after running at warped speed and tried to get back to the flea market, which was nowhere to be found. I ended up waking up with a headache after this.
I hold him under the water and I ignore the fact that he is struggling, gasping, begging for air. I see the bubbles float up to the top popping as they get to the surface. I hear the final "bloop" of the last bubble pop. I wake up and realized that having a dream about drowning someone made me hungry. So naturally, I go into the kitchen for a sandwich.
Ok, so I had this dream when I was around 9 years old. I forgot what I ate before that made the dream happen but here it goes.
I'm dreaming that I'm riding in a zeppelin. I'm looking outside and it's night outside. Then all of a sudden the zeppelin catches on fire and it's starting to sink. Then all of a sudden Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear come out of no where and start talking to me. I couldn't here what they were saying but they were talking to me. Then we are suddenly in a city and the cars are moving fast, then I start hearing Spice Girls music. Then I see the green female M&Ms starting to sing "2 Become 1" and they were all dressed up just like the Spice Girls.
I'm not really the type to remember every single dream that I have, but this one really stuck with me till this day.
I dreamt that Cheyenne Jackson was in love with me and I kept trying to get away from him. Think Pepe le Pew and Penelope.
As for nightmares, there was one where I remember after watching Startship Troopers, I was dreaming that I was in the movie theater watching the movie, then all of a sudden the aliens just start to come out of the movie screen and they start attacking people in the audience. Then one of them came face to face with me and was about to attack, then I woke up with my heart pounding and screaming my head off.
