A few nights ago I had the worst/scariest dream of my life. What made it scary was how real it seemed. In my dream my wife and I were driving down a road near our house. It was just after sunset, you know that time when it's still too light out for headlights to really be effective but too dark to drive without them. Anyway, we were talking as we drove, putting together a grocery shopping list. I had a Jack Johnson CD playing quietly.

Suddenly a deer jumped into the road right in front of us. I hit the brakes and tried to veer to the left to avoid hitting it, but hit it anyway. It came up over the hood of the car and came through the windshield. It's hidquarters hit me and knocked the breath out of me. As soon as the car came to a stop I pushed the deer away from me and looked over at my wife to see if she was okay. The head of the deer had gone through her side and she had been impailed by it's antlers.

She was still alive, but had blood all over her. Her eyes were wide with fear and pain. She was just looking at me, then said my name and died.

I woke up crying. It seemed so real during my dream, it was almost like a memory of something that had already happened, not just a dream. I tell myself that it wasn't real but I am really nervous about driving on that road now.

I've had dreams that were so bad, I woke up screaming and crying. It's very emotional. Over time, like, with anything else, that feeling passed. It is scary how real they seem at the time though.

Redlemon

I remember when my girlfriend died in my dream, it was real enough to wake me up (and I don't typically remember my dreams). That was about 14 years ago, she is still my wife and very much alive. It's a good thing that dreams don't predict the future. You will be shaken up for a few days, however. Good luck with that.

I had a really vivid bad dream last night. I dreamed that my husband and I were in bed, and a man came into our house and into our bedroom, carrying some thick wire and a wrench, obviously intent on harming us. My son sleeps in our bedroom sometimes and he was in there with us. I remember looking around for something to fight back with, and thinking, don't you dare hurt my baby. I think the adrenaline woke me up; when I get an adrenaline rush my chest and neck get really hot and when I woke up they were really hot and my heart was pounding. I believe in dreams being premonitions, so naturally this dream scared the sh*t out of me, especially because I rarely have nightmares.

That's definitely a scary dream, frogza!!

you guys have weird dreams... none of mine are ever realistic like that. every setting in mine is... different.

scariest dream I ever had was me and 3 other ppl I don't know in real life (I think we were kids in the dream, maybe around age 12 or so) where locked in the top of this circular stone tower, and there was a single, fairly big window kind of low off the ground. there were no bars or anything, just open to the air, and it overlooked this massive old city (looked like old europe). I guess we were about 100 stories or so off the ground.
in the room itself was 2 bunkbeds (white sheets and a pillow) and a clock on the wall (the kind you see in almost every office/school).
the dream started about 2:30, and we could see the sun was setting as we all huddled around the window scared. One of the boys in the room said something like "they're almost here, they're comming at 3. we better hide!" and we all panicked trying to find a place to conceal ourselves.
I remember looking at up at the clock and it was about 2:50 or so, and glanced out the window. near where the sun was setting in the distance i saw about 3 lights, all moving rapidly towards us. One of us shouted "they're here!" and we all scrambled to hide. Suddenly the massive wooden door to the room (which i swear wasn't there before) opened, and before i saw what was behind it I jumped on one of the bunk beds and curled up in the fetal position against the back wall. I was beyond terrified, I still remember just how it felt... I could watch a bomb fall out of the sky on top of me and never be that scared again.
I heard the door squeal as it was slowly shut, but didn't dare look. Acouple figures appeared before me. They were grayish, long limbs, skiny as a twig. I knew they were they typical aliens you always see (you know, the one w/ the big black eyes), but these were menacing... just had this palpable sense of dread about them (either that or it was just how terrorifed I was of them). the oddest thing about them was they seemed to resonate this constant mid-pitched squeal or hum... and whenever they moved it was choppy like watching a movie w/ several frames of animation removed from it, almost as if they really weren't there.
One of them "turned" towards me and then I woke up, screaming, cold w/ sweat, and shaking bad for hours. I was still terrorified as I was in the dream... couldn't sleep the rest of the night and had trouble sleeping for a week after. even now if I think of aliens of i get butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps....

streak_56

I've woken up in a cold sweat before. I have alot of weird dreams.

the_marq

I have horrific dreams all the time. My wife tells me I have kicking, screaming, or crying bouts at least 3-4 times a week. Lucky for me I tend not to remember what they are about.

On the odd occasion that I do recall the dream/nightmare when I wake up I do my best to NOT remember it. I don't talk about it to anyone, don't dwell on the subject matter and I SURE AS HELL would not write it down. There is no way I want to re-live the experience. In time (usually a couple of hours to a couple of days) the memories fade and I am none the worse for wear... till the next one

I had a dream last night that this little girl who looked exactly like me came up on my deck, I went to go show her a picture of myself at that age to show the similiarities and there were no more pictures of me in my photo album...well there were but I didn't look the same. Then I woke up...damp....from drooling.

Back to the original thread, frogza that dream is so sad it almost made me cry!

macmanmike6100

i love the fact that many people seem to have realistically vivid dreams, because it's reveals in no uncertain terms that "reality" is only as real as perception.

kurtisj

that dream is friightening, ive never had nightmares that i thought were real though, that i remember from anytime recently anyway...

Dreams can be the coolest ever..Even bad ones..
I think I remember bad dreams that I had as I child..
One where I was on a beach of sand (the image was in greyscale, oddly enough) with a steep descent o the water...And I was looking at the semi-chaotic water, and the whole setting flipped upside down..or something, and I "fell" in the water..
I had this sort of drowning experience, I was immerged in this charcoal color fluid, everything faded to black..
Then, still in the dream when I "woke up" again I was seeing myself in some sort of marina. The water was illuminated by these underwater lights, so it had that greenish color; it was night time. And as corny as it was (the point of view was from the top) I was seeing the dark silhouettes of two huge sharks swimming around me.
So I swam towards the docks really fast, got out and went walking on the bordwalk nervously. I entered a weird restaurant with fancy people and waiters all dressed in red, had myself guided to a table, and then I went to the bathroom. And (this is weird) I looked at myself, and my eyes were full of salt. I really don't know why. And that's where it ended.

Charlatan

I've had a few scary dreams but one that really sticks with me is one I had in Grade 2...

My Mom and I were on the bridge that seperated my Mom's boyfriend's house from his parent's house... it spanned a wide river. Only in this dream, his parents lived in a castle on the grounds where our house was and the river was, more or less, a moat.

We had just received a new albino octopus for the moat. My Mom and I were in the process of shoving it off the bridge into the water when one of the tentacle attatched itself to her leg and pulled her into the moat. The moat was filled with all sorts of terrible creatures, alligators, pirrana and a large hippo... all albino.

The albino hippo ate my Mom.

Cut to me screaming on the bridge. Cut to the parents laughing maniaclly in thier throne room... (yes, even at that age I had a cinematic mind).


This dream has stuck with me to this day... only now it isn't nearly as scary as it is surreal.

I had a dream about a month ago, which was really horrific, well not the dream itself scared the shit outta me, but the effect afterwards.
In fact I don't really remember what the dream was about, I think I was in a very dark room, and some voice was telling me something like: "In a few moments you will lie in your bed next to what you think your girlfriend is and something terrible will happen..."

of course I woke up in the middle of the night, my gf woke up too and for about one minute or so I just looked at her in horror, and couldn't remember her name, I tried to say it but I couldn't because in that moment I couldn't tell if she was my gf or some totally stranger.

So the really mean trick of my nightmare was that it told me to wake up and look who is lying in bed next to me...scary....

Johnny Pyro

Thats a scary dream. They say certain foods before bed can give you nightmares. Maybe you ate something that would do that. I heard banannas will do that.

I don't really have too many nightmares..or atleast i don't ever remember most of them.

Worst dream that i can remember is getting shot at point blank range, What kind of baffles me about it is, Usually if something sudden happens..Like a bang or whatever it makes me jump and i wake up.

This dream though, I don't really remember where i was..But some dude just came walking up and shot me. I have never been shot before, But i am pretty damn sure i know what it feels like.

It scared the shit out of me, Laying on the ground in a puddle of blood slowly losing air..While you look up at everybody surrounding you. That's really all i remember.

So is it true that if you die in your dream that you actually die? I use to always have re-occuring nightmares of falling off of the same cliff and right before i hit the ground, I would wake up.

It's just wierd how i have never died in a dream and i always wake up before i do.

Last month I dreamed a Bush speech. Honest to god. In my dream, he acted incredibly stupid, almost to the point of complete insanity -- think the blundering of a typical Bush speech multipilied by 10. It creeped the shits out of me.

Well, that and the fact that I was dreaming about Bush at all, while I could have been dreaming about naked Norwegian lesbians.

I've died plenty in my dreams. And here I am to post about it. :P

I have really, really vivid dreams all the time. I can tell you the color of people's clothes, sometimes even the fiber content (but I have a thing for fiber content in real life anyways, lol). I can tell you what food people were eating, whether the paper of a note handed to me was new or old and creased, everything. My feelings in dreams are very clear.
Makes nightmares particularly hard to go through.

I hate it when I have dreams of swallowing pins/needles. I dunno if it means something, or it's just a left-over fear from sewing, heh.

At least I don't have the public nudity insecurity dreams...apparently it's not something I fear. :P

Yea, i have the occasional "wake up trying to scream but i cant because im too friggin scared" type dreams. Not nearly as frequent as some of you guys tho.

I think dreams have to have more meaning than just getting all of the days thoughts out of your head. I am a firm believer in infinite dimensions (no clue if there is a named theory) and sometimes I wonder if your dream isn't your double in one of those other dimensions. That could also account for deja-vous (sp?).

Fourtyrulz

Last winter, after my friend was killed in a car accident, there were entire weeks where my roomate or girlfriend would wake me up saying I was screaming, many times I would be crying. They were the most terrible, vivid dreams I have ever had before and since then. Me, my friends, my girlfriend, my parents and siblings all being killed in horrible ways: I was thrown into the ground headfirst by a tornado, my brother fell off an enormous building and I saw his body crash into the ground, my dad hit by a car. One time I had a really fucked up dream where I was being pushed off my girlfriend's loft by some mysterious force, she woke me up saying I was pawing and kicking at the air pleading with someone to "Please stop." Lots of dreams involved me trying to get ahold my loved ones to tell them I loved them before I was killed by various things...zombies, dinosaurs, terrorists, military, disease.

Fourtyrulz, that is HORRIBLE!

Last night I was wracked with a torment of nightmares. NOT good. Woke up every 30 seconds to 5 minutes with another horrible one. Don't remember now what many of them were about. Luckily this sort of thing doesn't happen too much.

I frequently have terrifying dreams. I think every family member and friend I have has been killed at least once in a dream. I have died numerous times and numerous ways.

I have a few dreams that have reoccurred for as long as I can remember. Though they may change slightly they are basically the same dream over and over. Here are a few examples:

One involves myself standing on the ground and looking up to the sky. I see a large commercial airplane flying by that suddenly starts to fly directly upwards (nose pointing to the sky/tail pointing to the ground). The plane then slowly rolls onto its back and continues the roll/flip until it is heading straight for the ground (nose pointing to the ground/tail pointing to the sky). I then watch as the plane crashes into the ground. i usually wake at this point but there have been times when I find myself at the site of the impact before I wake up. I can't count the number of times I have had this dream. The location sometimes changes, sometimes in a city, sometimes out in the country, but the plane always crashes the exact same way.

Another reoccurring dream finds me in a World War II like battle. I'm not fighting but there is gun fire, bombs, airplanes, etc going off all around me. This dream usually seems to last a while and mainly involves me going from place to place trying to find cover. The dream ALWAYS ends with me looking into the horizon and seeing mushroom clouds from nuclear blasts. I quickly find shelter behind something (building, rock, etc) as the fire and wind from the blast races past me. This is when I always wake up. Again, the bulk of the dream always remains the same but the location changes. I am almost always in a familiar place (childhood home, vacation spot, etc) and the people with me tend to change. I never die in this dream but the people I am with rarely live to the end.

There are a few others that 'repeat' but I have these two dreams the most.

shesus

Frogza that is a horrible dream! I couldn't imagine dealing with a dream like that and admit that I would be scared to drive for awhile.

I've had a few night terrors where I actually get out of bed screaming still fully asleep. I have freaked out a couple people doing that. I actually called my mom once in the middle of the night to tell her to get out of her house because someone downstairs and was coming up kill her. She said that I went on hysterically for about 5-10 minutes before she could wake me up.

I don't know if anyone else has dreams like this, but they freak me out and I have them a couple of times a month. I have dreams where I can't open my eyes. It is almost like I am blind, but my eyes are permantly sealed shut. I can hear everything arouns me going on and people are calling my name, but I can't see to get to them or do what they want. It is very unsettling.

I have the ability to make interesting/scary/novel things sound really boring, but I'm going to tell you the scariest dream I've ever had anyway.

My dad, my two younger brothers, and myself were in a small dark room that appeared to have a sunlight in it with dim light streaming through. It was only enough light to illuminate a tall open cage standing right under the sunlight though. Then, suddenly, my dad screamed and his insides vanished, leaving only his skin with empty eye sockets, then his skin crumpled up like an accordion and it quickly hopped backwards into the cage and it slammed shut. Now think of all of this happening really quick in one violent moment. I don't even remember how scared my brothers and I were at that point. But then it all happened again, this time to my youngest brother. You can imagine how I felt at that point. And then it happened to my next youngest brother. Then, suddenly it started happening to me and I could actually feel my insides being pulled out of me, like something was tugging downward at me from the inside. Needless to say I woke up trying to scream.

I don't usually like to describe feelings of sheer terror, but I'm sure you can imagine how something like that would make a person feel. Just think of this dream as one of those utterly psychotic 80's movies, only amplify that feeling and make it real.

fatmanforprez

now for a quick threadjack, my first memory is of a dream. It was in black and white and was about being chased my movie style gangsters with tommy guns and everyhting. i bust through a door and they put a whole mess of lead through the door (which i was on the other side of and therefore concealed). As this happens i jump up and start to gasp and atteact the attention of a woman who i instantly knew to be my sunday school teacher. Set a lifelong presidence for sleepign through class

islandflea

OMGsh! That would shake you up. I can understand the feeling. I have had two weird memory/dreams that I still recall vividly. The first was from when I was about 14 years old (pushing 40 now) and it was that I was married to a man with specific facial features and long dark wavy hair. Guess what??? I AM MARRIED to him now!!!

The second was a dream about my youngest daughter... I dreamed that for some (unclear) reason I was not able to "keep" her (sorta like she was ok but somewhere away from me)... Call it coincidence if you like but my ex husband won custody of her (as I was moving out of state) and had her with him for 2 years. He was stubborn about my visiting her and I was allowed little contact. This was unnerving for me as I had dreamed about it less than a year before it happened (and BEFORE I knew I was to move out of state).

Doesnt it make you wonder why we have such vivid/coincidental/disturbing dreams? Yes, there are those who may claim my experiences were strictly coincidence.. I dont think so.

Misz

Thats scary, I had this site that exlained why you dream about the things you dream, but i forget it, if i can remember ill come back and edit this post

analog

Freaky, man...

Apparently I talk a lot while i'm asleep... like, have entire conversations... but the shitty thing (not for me) is that most of the time, i'm talking about horrible things... like stabbing someoen to death, choking them until until they die.. the type of conversation you'd expect from a totally fucked-up psychotic serial killer... it has unnerved most of my girlfriends for a while... one of them never really got "used" to it... but one of them thought it was funny, after the first few times.

She was the best... because when it happened, she'd gently put her hand on me, which would wake me a little, and sweetly tell me to go back to sleep. After that, she said, i'd go back to sleep and not talk anymore. My other girlfriends would fully wake me up to tell me I was talking. That's not helpful. lol

The worst "nightmare" one of my ex girlfriends ever had was actually MY dream, not hers. She awakened on hearing me talking, as I talked in my sleep regularly, and she knew that... and i was lying totally still, but I kept saying, "There's a man in the corner." Over and over... and after only saying it a few times, she started getting freaked out... (keep in mind that i have to have darkness when I sleep, so the room is darker than a black steer's ass on a moonless prairie night) well, apparently when she shook me to get my attention, or wake me up, i DIDN'T wake up, but instead changed my repeated phrase to, "The man in the corner is here to kill you."

After saying THAT only twice, she full-on shoved me, and i awakened with no knowledge of what was going on, and a VERY upset, VERY panicky, and hysterical girlfriend... took like 15 minutes to calm her down...

curious george

I almost had a REALLY BAD wake-up, never mind the dream...

I was woken by the back door shutting quietly, and the cat flap and chain clanking in it gave it away. Then I see this shadow pass by bedroom entrance, pause, then enter the room and lunge over the bed..

I, half asleep, (and now freaked), came soooo close to letting rip with a big round house to the shadows face, when she turned and snuggled back into me.

I was shot awake... massive bolt of energy and told my GF she almost had a knuckle sandwich.. turned out she got up to stop the cat fight outside...
Damn that was close. For me.... how do you talk your way outta that?

curious george

Haha, I hope you can laugh about it now!
Ever found any reason for the bad dreams? Triggers like food or something?

analog

I can never account for it. I've tried to match it up many times, but they happen. I don't have a lot of bad dreams, that I remember (in fact, I pretty much never remember them at all), but I do talk in my sleep, pretty much every time I'm sleeping. It's always random stuff... but more often than not, it's either weird, creepy, or down-right violent/sadistic/serial-killer-talking-to-himself style

curious george

Hmmmm, odd 'eh?
I've got a cousin similar to you, except she wakes up SCREAMING blue bloody murder, wakes everything up in a 3 house radius...
It's pretty frightning actually ,she's banned from several hotels/youth hostels etc...but never remembers a thing.
Sleepwalks too.

ManWithAPlan

i can't remember any of my dreams right now... i rarely have any, but when i do they are almost always disturbing... one involved a child that looked like he was plagued... they always tend to be in monochrome too...

one that i actually just remembered involved me getting stabbed in the stomach and then saying good bye to EVERRYYONE i knew, one at a time... they all lined up and said bye to me... i woke up crying

I HARDLY EVER GET SCARED IN MY DREAMS EVEN WHEN THEY'RE REALLY DISTURBING. A COUPLE STICK OUT IN MY MIND FROM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER THOUGH, BOTH OF THE SAME THEME. IN THE FIRST DREAM I WAS DOWNSTAIRS IN MY HOUSE LOOKING AT MY REFLECTION IN A BIG MIRROR WHEN I GLANCED TO SEE SOMETHING LOOKING FROM THE VERY TOP OF THE STAIRS BEHIND ME. IT LOOKED LIKE MY FACE POPPING ROUND THE CORNER. I WAS STARTLED SO LOOKED ROUND TO SEE THAT NOTHING WAS THERE SO I LAUGHED AND TURNED BACK TO THE MIRROR. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN SO I TURNED ROUND AND TO MY HORROR IT WAS MY FACE LAUGHING BACK AT ME FROM THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, MY ASTRAL PERSONA RAN AWAY AND I WOKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT.

THE OTHER DREAM WAS OF ME SITTING DOWNSTAIRS WATCHING TV WITH MY FAMILY, MY SEAT WAS IN FRONT OD THE WINDOW ABOUT 20FT AWAY. OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, I SAW SOMETHING COME UP TO THE WINDOW WHICH I COULD SWEAR WAS ME, I WAS PETRIFIED AND STARTED SQUEALING AND MUTTERING TO MY PARENTS TRYING TO TELL THEM THAT I WAS AT THE WINDOW. ALL THEY DID WAS TELL ME TO SHUT UP AND WATCH TV, BY WHICH TIME MY FACE HAD DISAPPEARED AGAIN. SOMEHOW THIS CALMED ME ENOUGH SO THAT I RESUMED MY TV DIET. AFTER A SHORT WHILE MY FACE AGAIN RE-EMERGED AND STARTED TAPPING THE WINDOW SMILING INSANELY AT ME. I SCREAMED AS LOUD AS MY DREAM WOULD ALLOW ME TO AS I TRIED TO ELUCIDATE MY ABJECT TERROR TO MY PARENTS, POINTING AND SHOUTING AT THE WINDOW. THEN I MUST HAVE AWOKEN IN A COLD SWEAT.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SEEING MY DOPPELGANGER WOULD BRING SO MUCH FEAR TO ME. COULD BE AN EVOLUTIONARY FEAR OF MY ANTI-MATTER SELF, WHICH WOULD OBLITERATE MY EXISTANCE IF I EVER HUGGED THE BASTARD. WHO KNOWS?!

Jinn

holy hell, keep this thread going! I had no idea I liked hearing about other people's dreams so much, but almost every post in this thread gave me chills.

I usually don't remember my dreams at all, but I speak in my sleep too. I've no idea what I say, but from my girlfriend's explanation it seems to be things I'm thinking about right before I sleep (tests or work to do the next day, etc..)

Analog: Your story especially freaked me out, because I'm deathly afraid of the dark. If someone was laying there next to me kept saying that I'd be so fucking scared.. especially after you the killing part. God daaaamn.

As for the sadistic mutterings, they say that (for the most part) dreams are imagery and concepts acquired/thought about during the day, being reprocessed for storage into permanent memory in your brain. Do you find youself subduing anger often, during the day? Not murderous anger, just anger? Seems like it could manifest itself as physical reactions such as stabbing and killing, etc..

I really really wish I could remember my dreams. The last two, though.. I remember being "consious" dreams. They seem to occur most when it's a midday nap or when there is stimula nearby that keeps me semi-consious. I'm in a dream, but about 1/2 way through I "realize" that its a dream and start to control it. I really wish this happened more often, becuase its quite interesting when you're like .. hey.. I wonder what would happen if I did *THIS*... I know in my last dream, I was just like hm.. this is a dream, I'm not really drowning under this submarine. I wonder what would happen if I changed my dream and drilled a hole into the bottom. So I did, and the dream compeltely evolved from there. Anyone else have "consious" dreams.. ? I know there's a specific word for it, too..

I wanted to reply to Frogza's dream and also have a few things I want to say about my beliefs, but scrolling down and reading everyone's post, I am at IC3's post, and I just want to put this down before my thoughts get all jumbled and I forget..

I believe in that. What happens is, when you actually die in your dream (usually it's impact) your body is shocked into thinking that it is dying, hence, your brain tells you to stop breathing. So you dream yourself dying, your body goes into convulsion, half fighting to wake up and breathe, half telling itself to stop all mechanisms and die, then you die, fully conscious.

I have had a distant family member who used to always complain about recurring dreams about falling and knew he would die on impact but always waking up before he actually hits.. he died one day in his sleep. The doctor said it's a heart attack, he was in his 40s with no health issues.. I believe that it was the dream. Since then, I've been consciously reminding myself to always wake up if a dream goes wrong. I ALWAYS have bad dreams. :\

zkara

I always believe that dreams are 'friendly' warnings of things that 'might' happen or 'will' happen. Like, in your case, Frogza, it might be 'drive a little more carefully and pay full attention to the road' kinda deal. The 'possible' accident might not be involving a deer, it could be a different scenario, with a less scary outcome, but hell, it doesn't hurt to be more careful and take the dream as a little reminder to always be watchful. Most of the time accidents happen due to other people's carelessness and not yours. While you are a careful and safe driver, you might need to watch out for any flying saucers coming your way so that you can veer out of harm in time.

I also believe that dreams could be what you are subconsciously worried about. Like for example, I don't call home a lot.. I hardly call my parents to check up on them.. I'm just bad at that kinda thing. However, I do think about them constantly, if they are okay, healthy, happy and whatnot. After about 2 months of that, without calling them, I start getting dreams about my mom every single night. It's now been 2 weeks straight of dreams.. usually about my mom passing away, falling ill, getting killed, breaking some bodily parts, unable to function.. etc.. always a different scenario.. I guess it is time to make a call home.

This is a cycle for me. Everytime I don't call home, I get all these dreams and when I do call, she's always at the verge of falling ill or getting depressed, or my dad's blood pressure is rising again.. all that..

I used to dream of my boyfriend cheating on me, and I guess I was constantly worried about that as I haven't gained enough trust in our relationship.. (it's long distance, he's a charmer, he didn't want a title to our relationship).. On the other hand, is it a warning? I am still working on the trust thing, but he's showing me so much affection and attention, I have stopped having dreams on that. Phew..

CityOfAngels

I started a thread similar to this, and my craziest dreams are there: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...ighlight=dream

Recently, though, I've been having dreams about my ex-girlfriend cheating on me. It isn't the first time this has happened, but twice in one week is pretty bad, especially since we've been apart for years now. The first one had me getting back with her, becoming rich and marrying her, and then I find her in the closet with a bunch of male models. The second one just has her telling me about how good my brother is in bed. I woke up extremely depressed (this was actually last night, and I'm still feeling the after-effects of it), and every time this happens, I start thinking about her and about how much I miss her etc. etc.

Note to self: Don't get back with ex-girlfriend.
