World War III dream: Generally nuclear war going on. Once the French (!!!) were attacking Joensuu.
A naughty dream: Too many to mention
Aliens attacking the world: They were some kind of weird teddy bears that tried to feed me drugs. Weirdest part was that the dream continued from where it had stopped the next night.
In-game dream: Sort of half-dream about Fallout.

You wouldn't want to know my weird dreams. They are really weird.
Flying? Yes. Shapeshifting into aeroplanes? Yes. Walking through walls? Yes. Going up while inside walls? Yes. UFOs? Yes. Tiny UFOs flying in my room? Yes.
Hey, if you want something even weirder, let me know

I had too many running nude, back in history, evil animal, naughty, falling, greatest fear attacks dreams to mention. But I had only one dream where I was a player in a game. It was Doom.

Most of my dreams seem to revolve around water.
Driving into a river with a car/bicycle, jumping over a river, fighting/walking alongside a river and almost falling in, sitting in a singing boat or falling off.
Or that I'm back in highschool and exams are coming up.
Sometimes I also dream that I'm too drunk to stand up, or that I'm stealing things.
A week I ago I wasted 80 years in an attempt to conquer China in EUII which failed horribly and that night I dreamt I raped a Chinese girl... (well I also talked to a Chinese girl at the trainstation that same day  )

I once dreamed I was shot in the chest. In the dream I was dead, but I forced my eyes open and found myself in bed.
In another dream I realized that Saddam Hussein was not real. I had figured out an extremely long, complicated proof for it, but when I woke up I couldn't remember it.
My mother told me about a dream of hers where she witnessed a 9/11 style terrorist attack, and talked to the police who figured out that an Iranian movie star was involved because they had video of him on the subway, not reading a newspaper with carrying the story over someone's shoulder, implying that he already knew about it.

after a game of squad leader I had a dream that I was in stalingrad, running into a machinegun's fire, getting my stomach perforated. when I woke up, I was having considerable pain in my appendix.

One dream combining two of these elements: In a desert with a strange, royal-blue sky yet immensely bright yellow sand, me and about a dozen other Apolytoners were held as slaves in a small, floating anti-gravity craft, which was just big and flat and a bit like a baking tray in shape. We were guarded by strange-looking alien monsters that looked a bit like something out of a Terry Gilliam film, big, humanoid but with large protounding tusks.

We had a similar one before, about 2 years ago... it didn't get archived though. Back then people posted more than only empty bullsh!t posts. AH makes an exception.
Why are no "totally and utterly strange nightmares that appear to be real when dreaming them" listed?

Falling... I'm falling!!!
World War III: Muslim fundamentalists attack a cricket game between Australia and Pakistan. American and British marines, and Australian SAS operatives then occupy Islamabad and declare martial law (what I was doing at a cricket game, let alone in Pakistan in this dream world is beyond me). I am halted and held in the Australian embassy (which has barbed wire, sandbags and machine gun posts surrounding it) and I'm not allowed to leave the country.
Nude dream: So many of those dreams where I am in public, and nude. Nobody seems to notice my shameful state in these dreams.
Evil Animal chase: A large, humanoid frog was hopping around, chasing me all through my grandparents' back yard (which is about a hectare in size by the way).
Naughty Dream: Get lost! I'm not telling you! Anyway, the woman who appears in these dreams... I somehow never see her face. But I guess her body is the focus of my attention there (I somehow have no capacity to look up at her face though in this dream. Shame, because I wanted to look into her eyes more than anything).
Alien Attack: Alien craft in disguise as a standard Boeing 747 jumbo jet fly past and beam me in. I never see what the aliens look like, but in the craft, its all black and white, and I see an astronaut floatly lifelessly. The Earth is the only thing I see in colour out the window. I hear alien voices over a radio, but they're not in English (obviously). Then I see an Imperial Star Destroyer, they send a Lambda shuttle to the craft I'm in, and stormtroopers, well... storm in and save the day. Yeah. Doesn't make sense to me either.
Dream Inside a game: I was once the Avatar in Ultima VIII. It was the scene where I had to help the sorcerers summon Pyros, the demon king.

As for WWIII, I sometimes dream that several nukes explode around me (in some sensible distance but no chance for me)... why?

Hey 
Doom was also the game I were the most in my dreams, about three to four times.
Guess it has a special atmosphere in it...

yeah, I have a friend who always got scared at playing Doom, deleted it and then asked me to give him my copy disks of it again to re-install it... oddball, but at this point I think I even had dreams like that as well
yes, now I'm certain of it, but didn't vote for it...

Oh yeah, those imps gave me a hell of a lot of nightmares. And it got my heart racing when I'm running from a horde of them, trying to kill them off with a regular shotgun.
But Heretic scared me more than Doom.

I have prophetic dreams. I later remember dreaming about a certain situation I am experiencing.

I have "been" in a game several times, the one I remember most was a dream were I was a pedestrian in Carmageddon
I have dreamed naughty dreams...1...maybe 2...million times
But most of the time I have crazy dreams (Kinda like if the crazy things I joke about in my "real" life is comming in the dreams). Does anyone know the song "Wanna White" from Weid Al Yankovic? That would explain them  To give an expample: (On how it could be like)
I'm walking around town, while a giant explosion sends a frog to my pocket
I really have some weird dreams, so please don't send me to a shrink, I like those dreams, they show who I am: CRAZYYYYYYYY
EDIT:
Just remembered the dream I had this morning:
I started by making my bed (I guess it was night  ), the problem was, the bed was giant cabels, which I had to plug in first, but before I finnished it, I somehow looked into some other room, were I saw some of my friends go to sleep...in a wardrobe

I hate dreaming I'm a Diplomat in a Civ game, and all the players vote to disallow me.

Does anyone else have dreams with celebrities in them? Maybe it's because I mainlined tv as a kid and now teach courses in pop culture and mass comm, but major and minor show biz figures end up in my dreams all the time. Sadly, it's never anything good, like Sigourney Weaver showing up in a naughty dream  ; no, instead I get dreams where I take the bus to Logan airport with the cast of The Love Boat.  Please, tell me I'm not alone!

I had a recurring dream as a child that a giant (100+ metre) stainless-steel marble was chasing me through the streets of my town as I desperately searched under manhole-covers for sacks of tiny stainless-steel marbles.

I've never had the "I am an animal dream", or the raping dream, or the civ dream, or the no life option, or the poly member.
Some of my coolest dreams:
Imperial Walkers from "Empire Strikes Back" were stomping around in my neighborhood.
I was in a futuristic city with 7 or 8 tall thin tornadoes touching down all around me.
I had a light-sabre!
I was in Counter-Strike...
I need to smoke some pot and come back, I usually recall my cooler dreams.
