A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I woke up to my father sobbing his eyes out in the kitchen. Apparently, I screamed, "DON'T TELL THEM I'M PREGNANT!" in my sleep last night. FML

Nightmare mother
Today, for the fifth time in a row, I woke up screaming from a nightmare. My mother burst into my room, leaned in real close and said, "So help me God, if you do not stop fucking screaming, I will rip your arms off and beat you with them." I’m never sleeping again. FML

Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML

Today, I woke up sweating and gasping for air after having a terrible nightmare. The nightmare involved my deceased mother-in-law bitching me out for being a bad influence on her daughter and threatening to cut my nuts off. Even in death, she won't leave me be. FML

Today, I found my mother in tears, so I asked her what was wrong. She told me, "It's your father, he wants a divorce..." I asked if he'd met another woman, and my mom replied "No, not a woman..." FML

Just a dream…
Today, I had a dream that my mom hugged me and told me she loved me. I woke up to her banging on my door, barging into my room, inspecting it, and then telling me to “just fucking kill yourself, because you're genuinely a bad person” before slamming my door. My room was perfectly clean and tidy. FML

Today, I woke up from a nightmare that I've been having for a couple of weeks. In the nightmare I'm shot four times in the back by none other than my mother. I'm getting worried. FML

Sweets dreams are made of these
Today, I had yet another dream in which my mother and I had a sweet conversation, followed by her hugging me, and telling me she loves me. Then I woke up and remembered that my once-loving mother hasn’t spoken to me in five years, and her last words to me were, "I hope you die in a fire." FML

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..?

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

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

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

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.

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...)
