It could be something good...

Like... she could have... won... the... lottery and...

Yeah. Never mind.

FYL.

#8 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:11pm by Peanu_theGreat

At least she wasn't screaming:

"Don't kill me, chop them up and stick them in plastic bags!"
Followed by your dad looking at you thoughtfully while you sleep...

#9 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:14pm by Thassodar

Yknow I don't really think it's that bad. It was just a dream. Maybe your dad was joking. Maybe it was a situation like #8 said. "DON'T TAKE ME (TO DISNEYLAND)! TAKE MY CHILDREN!" right? riiiight?

I'm way too positive.
Don't think it's an FYL or YDI though.. So what do I choose in these types of situations..?

#10 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:15pm by nuclear

Maybe it was dream about saving you from a disaster and there was only enough room for you and your siblings on the transport away from said disaster. If not FYL.

#12 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:16pm by Tiki

Seriously?Don't try and sugar coat it!you know she wasn't talking about Disneyland lol.Atleast it was just a dream.

Maybe your a really bad child. :(
Who would pass up the chance to get rid of there demon child.
Ydi?

#19 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:22pm by jEvOn

Just make sure you don't get stuck in a hostage situation with her and you should be fine. :)

#20 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:29pm by eiji_chan

Man, that's harsh. Sorry to hear that :/

#21 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:32pm by tennislova

LOL
that's pretty funny

#22 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:36pm by classicalteen

your dad was just kidding.


he told me last night in bed ;)

#23 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:37pm by dancin303

LMAO! best FML story ever! holy shit that was funny!

#24 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:40pm by JerJer

At least your better off than the other FML parents around here.

:)

#25 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:45pm by jSOPURE

...to the daycare?

#26 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:46pm by Tsukasa

yeah, Freud theorized that all dreams are wish fulfillment. looks like that's your mom's wish.

#27 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:48pm by Diablojr

It's a dream. You CAN'T control your dreams...

#28 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:48pm by zee209

nice mum you have.
"DON'T TAKE ME!! JUST TAKE MY CHILDREN! IT WILL BE ALL BETTER THEN!!"
"Oh, wait, you just wanted me to fill out a survey?"
"Oh! But still, PLEASE TAKE THE CHILDREN!!!"

#29 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:51pm by sceneteasex3

nice mum you have, there.
"DON'T TAKE ME TAKE THE CHILDREN! DON'T KILL ME, KILL THEM!"
"Oh, you only want me to fill out this survey?"
"Okay, but still. PLEASE TAKE THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!"


Oh, and yeah. FYL.

#30 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:53pm by sceneteasex3

I'm sure he was kidding. And, #23, that is so gross; why would you joke about being in bed with someone's dad? Grosssss. That said, OP, your mom does say weird stuff when she sleeps. I know that because I was in bed with her last night.

(LOL HYPOCRISY MUCH LOL)

#31 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:55pm by ccyto

this one made me laugh! xD
too bad for you though...

#32 - On 05/20/2009 at 8:57pm by maria_e

Lock your doors and windows. If a serial killer breaks in, you'll probably use you as a human shield from the bullets OO

#33 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:06pm by Kamazar

how is this an fml? your mom had a dream.

#34 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:09pm by bco12

Hahahahahhah FYL.

#35 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:10pm by ohsnapelenaaa

That's not even a 'FML.'

Sometimes when we are dreaming, we don't think. -_-;

#36 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:12pm by Bunneh18

I think that happened on an episode of Malcolm in the Middle...

#37 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:15pm by fantome

it could have been a good situation, like other people have said, but even if it's not, don't read too much into it. i've had plenty of dreams which have no relation to things i would actually do, and don't say it's just subconscious or something. if you read a book or see a movie you can dream about it without it being a reflection of your subconscious desires...

it's just a dream

#38 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:16pm by thelorax

your dad was probably just kidding, of course he was, since it is against all instincts for her to say that ! plus you don't know what context its in, maybe its to take them away to save them lets say she was in a building on fire with you kids and the firefighters couldnt take you all...just providing an example

#39 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:20pm by Mr_Positive

#28: Actually, you can. It's call LUCID dreaming, Jack.

OP: Awww, that sucks. It sounds like something my mom would say, but she's just a bitch. IDK about your mom, so I'm just gonna go with :/?
FYL.

#40 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:21pm by ohhhhshizzz

#3 just made my evening for some reason. xD

#8 ftw.

#42 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:23pm by f_u_c_kmylife

i laughed so hard at #3

#43 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:24pm by peanutbutterfly

Im with #12, it could be she was trying to save you... OP, you know whether or not this is a FML... if your Mom is a good Mom then you know the dream wasnt bad

#44 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:29pm by f_this_s

It could have been like the Vietnam airlift or something where it's "Take my children to safety, let me die"

#45 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:30pm by mezentius

Haha sorry that's kind of funny.
But, FYL :(

#46 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:30pm by life_is_life

Actually...at first glance, it seems bad. But it really depends on the context. What if she was in a situation where being the one "taken" was a good, life-saving thing, and the person who was left behind would die? A fire, a terrorist attack, a plane going down or a sinking boat...any of those situations could result in her saying that.

#47 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:31pm by maralsky

lol, she knows how to survive.

#48 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:32pm by 24788

I don't think it's so bad. It's just a dream. You can't really read too much into what people say in their sleep, it's just gibberish really.

I really wish there was a "So what?" option.

#49 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:35pm by bonafidehustler

Maybe you shouldn't have been such a awful child, maybe then your family would love you instead of make fun of you when you leave the room at family events.

#50 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:36pm by neezie

Solution: never go anywhere with your mother again. If she happens to be inside a building and people take hostages, she won't be able to use you as a bargaining chip or meat shield.

#51 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:46pm by Nakedsquirrel

Maybe she dreamed she was on the Titanic? And they were rescuing her?

#54 - On 05/20/2009 at 9:59pm by glock17wielder

# 53, in science, theories aren't the same as our ever day use of the term. (http://www.notjustatheory.com) Plus, you're now committing a wishful thinking fallacy/ad hominem by complaining about Freud's theories being "creepy", as if that's relevant to whether or not their wrong.

To the OP, that's pretty bad news. Just avoid your mother, she'll catch on.

#55 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:02pm by AJComix

FYL?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? ITS A DREAM!!! How does this even get past the mods??? This is stupid. SO stupid.

#56 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:05pm by planetearth

taken directly from malcolm in the middle and slightly misquoted. fail.

#57 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:09pm by organisedchaos

this is dumb.

#58 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:16pm by thegoodlifeNOT

what is "FTW"?

#59 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:20pm by ad07

i was wonderin same thing 59

#60 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:22pm by cashmuhlah23

59 and 60 means For the win
look it up on urban dictionary

#61 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:24pm by LittleMiss1

Hahahaha...well, at least she cares, right? I mean, how much would it blow if your dad had heard, "No! Not me! Take my children!"
...as a ton of other people have said (#9, etc.)

#63 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:42pm by GDinNJ

Yah, before you get all "FML" about it, perhaps ask her what the dream was about first?

#64 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:43pm by _neutrality

Lmaooo!

#65 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:49pm by HeyyyBrahhh

Maybe she dream you were all drowning, and the lifeboat was small, and she wanted you to be taken instead of her to be rescued :S

#66 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:55pm by watermind

lmaoooo...

#67 - On 05/20/2009 at 10:58pm by Righty0

somethin's goin down.butchu betta talk it out befo' you walk it out. THAT'S A DEALBREAKER LADIES!!

#68 - On 05/20/2009 at 11:00pm by DeadMansCrack

...how did the movie 'titanic' end? did they all get away? i bet they did, i can't see anyone dying in that movie. 'titanic' was such a great movie...

#69 - On 05/20/2009 at 11:08pm by tko

#68 - 30 rock reference ftw

Don't Take me take the children for getting on teh chopper to get teh fuck out of dodge

#72 - On 05/20/2009 at 11:31pm by chaosleader0

#12 brings up the most obvious scenario. If not.... well that sucks but it's not the end of the world.

#73 - On 05/20/2009 at 11:32pm by TLP

Sound's like you have loving parent's.

#74 - On 05/20/2009 at 11:46pm by UnladyLikeBaby

wow, priceless.

#75 - On 05/20/2009 at 11:48pm by sugarcakebomb

Are you kidding? Someone yells some nonsense in their sleep and your LIFE is fucked?? Man. People who post to this site have amazing lives if these are the sorts of things that turn your world upside down.

#76 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:00am by pleasetryagain

lol. That's bad.

#77 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:09am by iroquoiswho1033

dude, this is hilarious. whatever the gender is. haven't laughed this hard on a FML for a while now.

your parents are a really good combo. must have been a fun childhood.

#78 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:27am by evilduck

awww thats sucks bad bad dream!

#79 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:31am by princess333

HAHAHAH. you suck.

#80 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:35am by lucie

ahahah thats hilarious

not an fml

#82 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:37am by thenoclist

That sounds like my mother in law. lol Only cares about herself and her Boyfriend who is married and a Bishop at some Church.

#83 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:51am by shinra

That stinks. And yes, people CAN think in a dream. In a dream anything can happen! O_o

#84 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:55am by at0micmin3r

I think it's more of a #12 situation.

#85 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:55am by Loe_307

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

#87 - On 05/21/2009 at 2:02am by ILIEKGIRLS

you never know maybe she was a having a dream that you were all in a burning building and she was saying to the firefighters "don't take me, take the children"

#88 - On 05/21/2009 at 2:40am by MrCanoe

exactly at what #88 said
you never know if it was a dream where she wanted to save you

#89 - On 05/21/2009 at 3:06am by itsgen

Could be taken out of context. Don't save me save my children.

#90 - On 05/21/2009 at 3:24am by dead14eternity

I will agree with those who have suggested that it was probably a dream where she was trying to help you. My mother once had the misfortune to actually be in such a situation, when she and my sister were trying to jump into a small lifeboat, and the crewman piloting it pulled away from the sinking (and violently pitching) ship while my mother was trying to pull my sister (in shock at the time) into it. My mother is not the sort of person to say a thing like that, and so what she said when the crewman refused to return to the ship was closer to "Go back or I will kill you" (he very quickly changed his mind about returning), but I could certainly see a mother in that situation say such a thing - there is a certain protective behaviour in many mothers that seems almost instinctual and primal in scenarios where their children are in danger.

#91 - On 05/21/2009 at 3:42am by nongravis

That's from "The Simpsons". There's an alien invasion, and Homer says "Please don't abduct me! I have a wife and kids! Take them instead!"

(Or something like that...)

#93 - On 05/21/2009 at 5:43am by arinachi

21st century Sophie's choice

#94 - On 05/21/2009 at 7:10am by RockyII5

maybe he was dreaming about a prostitute and since he's a married man, he doesn't want to be unfaithful but still wants his children to get laid. so he said to the prostitute "don't take me, take my children"

#95 - On 05/21/2009 at 8:06am by p0kegeek

thats funny as shit. fyl

#96 - On 05/21/2009 at 8:18am by kaveman

Maybe she was dreaming about a warzone or something like that, and the rescue people came and instead of wanting them to take her away she was saying "take the kids"...it's a bad dream because she's in a war zone but she still likes you...

#97 - On 05/21/2009 at 9:03am by Thunk

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FYL. And I maybe what #97 said is true. Why don't just ask your mum.

#98 - On 05/21/2009 at 9:37am by kissesinbetween

for everyone above that's trying to sugarcoat this fml, read.
it says the mum was having a BAD dream.

#99 - On 05/21/2009 at 10:33am by CryingHowls

well, she might have dreamed about this situation. a ship was sinking and then she wanted the life boats to take you :D

#100 - On 05/21/2009 at 11:22am by gislince

lmfao thats sooooo my mother

#101 - On 05/21/2009 at 11:38am by hiddenA

Don't take it to heart. Dreams are really weird and mess with people's decision-making skills. It's kind of funny, really. [=

#102 - On 05/21/2009 at 12:30pm by lovell_says_hey

F.Y.L. that really really really sucks your mom doesn't love you...

#10 you're dumb (or ignorant) read up on some psychology and you'll see why it's a HARDCORE FYL, way worse than most on here

#103 - On 05/21/2009 at 1:38pm by mammygammy

What an asshole.

#104 - On 05/21/2009 at 3:05pm by SergioFML

shit

#105 - On 05/21/2009 at 4:04pm by ccristinaa

it may be positive, she may have been in a burning building and someone may have been trying to save her but instead she said no take my children! still a bad dream but at least she wanted to save you

#106 - On 05/21/2009 at 5:05pm by amandapurple

dont read too much into it, ive said weird shit in my sleep my before that i would never say

#107 - On 05/21/2009 at 5:14pm by kdaddy

#107 - just what I wanted to say. I've laughed and talked rubbish while sleeping, I have had dreams I'd be ashamed of telling, and it's all completely unrelated to me. I bet your mom loves you, and it's wrong to take anything like that seriously. Oh, and #106 - nice one! ;-)

#108 - On 05/21/2009 at 5:49pm by KsbjA

What exactly was the dream about? We can't exactly say FYL OR YDI if we don't know he context of the dream in question.

#109 - On 05/21/2009 at 6:49pm by ForgottenBoy

Whoa #103. Calm down. I don't see how I am ignorant or stupid as you say I am. Heck, I have no idea what the hell how psychology and "HARDCORE FYL" have to do with my comment. I was simply listing out all the positive things..

Maybe you're "ignorant and/or stupid".

#110 - On 05/21/2009 at 8:01pm by nuclear

your mom doesn't love you end of story.

#111 - On 05/21/2009 at 9:36pm by xO_starstruck_xO

I would feel so bad if I said that in my dream XD

#114 - On 05/22/2009 at 8:28pm by Light_Ty

I am sorry, but all I have is ... HAHAHAHA xD Priceless!

#115 - On 05/22/2009 at 9:50pm by un_known

Wow.... that's.... horrible for you. I rly don't know what to say besides she must not love you much. Jk lol.

#116 - On 05/24/2009 at 1:30am by Mustcomment
