Today, I woke up from a horrible nightmare. What was it about? Me accidentally scratching a non-stick pan with my utility knife. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

ChristinePi Say more :

It was a nightmare to me because once you scratch a nonstick pan you're supposed to throw it away because underneath the coating there's a bunch of bad chemicals that increase your chances of getting cancer. I don't have the money to replace the pan and it wasn't cheap either. Dreams aren't logical, you cannot always control how you feel in them. I know it's silly but in the dream I was very upset about my pan and I woke up distraught. Hence why I consider it a nightmare. Funny enough, I actually did end up scratching one of my pots recently. I'm too poor to buy a new one so I am still using it. OTL

Wait that's a nightmare? My nightmares consist of being cannibalized by zombies. Suck it up.

Truth is, everyone reacts to scenarios differently. My most sorrowful dream was tearing a gummy worm in half. OP felt sad about scratching her pan. Respect that.

Could be worse: you brought it back to the store and they wouldn't give you a refund/replacement.

Could have been worse. The pan could have scratched the knife instead.

OCD is a serious disorder that is crippling to some people. Maybe you should think about that before comparing it to this situation.

I think #3 meant that OP's nightmare wouldn't had been a dream, but in fact reality.

Wait, that's a nightmare? My nightmares are about a wild boar jumping out of a fridge and slicing me open with it's tusks, and you're worried about scratching a frying pan. Suck it up.

I have nightmares about drowning, too. Scratching a frying pan is part of everyday life.

Welshite | 39

#6020571 - Sunday 27 July 2014 13:01

People drown quite regularly. I guess you could say it's a risk of everyday life if you decide to go in the water.

The point is, it's a nightmare. You can't really control it or your reactions because you're asleep and both nightmares and dreams are often pretty weird. OP could have no issue with this scenario if they were awake but still totally freak out when they're asleep.

#6020642 - Sunday 27 July 2014 15:51

My nightmares never have zombies, monsters, or anything that would make it a typical nightmare. Mine are usually just very realistic dreams about a scenario I'm afraid of i.e. one was about a friend committing suicide. OP's nightmare doesn't have to be like that, in their case, maybe scratching their beloved non-stick pan is something they're afraid of.

my nightmares tend to be things others would call good dreams since they typically involve something good happening, like a successful date. the thing that makes them nightmares, though, is that there's usually a feeling that something bad will happen after it's all said and done.

I'll be surprised if OP is a dude.

Liiiiiiiiike | 15

#6020573 - Sunday 27 July 2014 13:05

Why would you be surprised if it was a dude or not? A lot of men cook and are very passionate about it and take it very seriously. Not all men eat KD and other microwave meals. Men are also good in the kitchen just like women. And no men don't have to be gay to love to cook.

Since most chefs and professional cooks are men I would not be surprised at all if OP is male.

And getting that first scratch on a good non-stick pan is a terrible experience.

No it wasn't sex related. I meant it like I don't know how serious guys take a scratched pan

Me too! Everyone's saying "wow, it's just a pan" well no, if those people had any idea how expensive it is to keep shelling out money on pots and pans then they would feel differently.

Op must not have a lot of problems to subconsciously worry about a pan being scratched in (her) dreams ;)

Jokes aside though, cooking in a scratched up non-stick pan and then having to clean it up IS a nightmare

Enslaved | 36

#6020657 - Sunday 27 July 2014 16:19

Well, OP really can't control his dreams but.... Cooking with scratched Teflon pans can be toxic and can cause many health issue. Maybe his dream is warning him to start cooking with stainless steel pans?

#6020707 - Sunday 27 July 2014 18:19

Anxieties, fears, and desires can manifest themselves in many forms in our dreams, at least according to Freud (so take that with a grain of salt). Maybe OP is subconsciously worried about ruining or damaging something more valuable?

Razi_tail | 25

#6021212 - Monday 28 July 2014 2:08

If Sigmond Freud were to interprete the dream, it would probably sound like this:
"The pan symbolizes your vagina and how you would like to protect it. As a virgin you have worries of being torn and violated even though you want sex. The penis is the knife that has cut through you and you now feel broken, no longer new and pure."

Then he would probably say something about having sex with a parent. Lol
