Annoying Dream Syndrome Dictionary

The following entries are definitions of various phenomena that occasionally occur in my dreams:

Bladder Syndrome
1. The action in your dream gets interrupted by encounters with bathrooms that are dirty and disgusting. Often the bathrooms become increasingly more disgusting as the dream progresses.
2. You are looking for a restroom in your dream, and the only toilets you can find are in public places, such as parking lots or classrooms.

Bladder Syndrome commonly occurs when you have to pee in real life. It's your brain's cruel way of edging you awake to pee in your own clean, private toilet.


Blind Syndrome
1. You are trying to open your eyes, but are unable to do so. May or may not be accompanied by the feeling of being tired.
2. You are able to open your eyes, but everything is covered in a gray haze or is very blurry.

Often occurs during important exams, or at moments when you are about to read a document that will tell you the cure for cancer. 


Broken Syndrome
1. An important object in your dream is broken. WARNING: This may be infectious.

ie. One telephone is broken. You try a second phone. It starts ringing! Then, it cuts out. Every single phone you try is broken. 


Maze Syndrome
1. You can't seem to find your way around anywhere. Actually, this is kind of like real life for me. But more intense.
2. You have a map that changes every time you look at it.
3. You walk out of a room, and when you try to walk back into the same room, it has changed.

This is especially annoying when you have left something in the living room, which is now in a different place. You not only have to search for the object you wanted, you have to search the whole dang house to find the living room.


Mute Syndrome
1. Your mouth is glued shut, making it impossible to speak.
2. No sounds will come out of you, no matter how hard you try.
3. You are only able to make silly sounds when you try to speak. This includes but is not limited to squawking, barking, or the sound of a toilet flushing.


Naked Syndrome
1. You are naked. You can't find clothes. If you do manage to find clothes, there is some insurmountable force that keeps the clothes off of you, or nakeds you up again. Others may or may not realize that you are in the buff. If they do realize it, they may be upset or like it a little too much for comfort.


Stuck Syndrome
1. You're trying very hard to move, but your feet are glued to the ground.
2. You are able to move, but only in veeeeeerrrrryyyyyyyyy slllloooooooooow moooooootiooonnnnn.

Not unlike swimming in Jello. Not that you've probably experienced that....



Tooth Syndrome
1. Your teeth fall out or crumble. This may occur suddenly or be spread throughout the dream.
2. Alternately, only the bottom half of all of your teeth fall out/disintegrate.
3. Your teeth are very crooked, or become increasingly crooked.


Treadmill Syndrome
1. You walk forever and feel like you're moving, but your surroundings don't change.
