Wondering if I'm the only one. My recurring "night mare" is that I go to the park and don't accomplish anything for most of the day...can't get on the rides, miss the shows... it's late afternoon and haven't done anything.

What is yours?
 
I dream that i wake up and realize that I have to be to the airport and I havent even packed and then I spend the whole day trying to get everything together just to realize I've totally missed my flight...:sad:
 
Absolutely! Usually mine involve not being able to find the main gate to get in. I end up on a bench outside the park pretty distraught. :sad:
 
I've dreamed that I've gone to sleep in my room at the WL only to be awakened by blaring bugles and a Drill Instructor yelling at me to get out of that rack and into my Disney uniform...

YES! I have that dream at least a couple times before every trip! Even when my subconscious should know the suitcase is 95% packed at least a week before. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I get this one except that I spend the entire time trying to find stuff to pack. I also have one where I get to the airport, realize that my passport is still at home and the flight is in a few minutes. Then sometimes I get to the airport and I get lost trying to get to the gate and end up following signs which don't seem to be correct and keep trying to backtrack (although, to be honest, sometimes that's reality too).
 
Mine usually involve forgetting to bring my camera. :)

That's not a nightmare. We've done that a couple of times. Fortunately, now that smartphones have reasonable cameras at least it's possible to take some.
 
I only have nightmares about my plane crashing. Otherwise I know I'll have good a time cause I won't be at work and I won't be doing homework.
 
Just the other night...dreamed I wore jeans on the plane. When I got to the resort to unpack I realized I'd brought NO SHORTS or any other pants and is have to wear jeans every day. In. June.
 
I have had one similar to the OP. We have a DCL cruise in November, and in my dream I realized it was Thursday and I had done almost nothing all week except sit in the room. What a nightmare!!!
 
Yes, my most recent one actually made me laugh. I dreamt that the day we arrived all 29 of our ADRs were switched to Teppan Edo. Even breakfast. We had eggs on the grill and bacon, then traditional teppanyaki for lunch and sushi for dinner. Day two I was begging a cast member to reinstate all my ADRs according to my print out copies. By day three in my dream it was fixed!
 
I have those dreams all the time--whether I have a trip scheduled or not. Usually I am on Disney property but can't get into the park for some weird reason. Or I'm in a park but I can't find my way out of some unfamiliar area I am lost in. But then once in a while I get lucky and find myself watching Wishes with my late grandma who never got to go with me. I like those.
 
I have had nightmares about not being able to ride Peter Pan our whole vacation - probably sounds silly, but it is my favorite ride and that would truly be a nightmare!
 
Not this trip, but a year and a half ago DH and I went on my 30th birthday trip (which consequently turned into an engagement trip :)). We went for 9 days, when we usually do last minute 3 or 4 day trips. As such, I was able to plan all sorts of dining reservations that I could never get before. I was most excited about Le Cellier, and I had this crazy nightmare one night that I got up from the table to use the restroom, and when I returned DH had eaten all the pretzel brea, cheese soup, filet and mushroom risotto. And then the kitchen told me they had no more, lol!
 
I can never dream of WDW accurately... :-(

Anytime I dream of "WDW" it's like a weird mix of WDW, Universal, a random water park, a random cheap carnival and an old arcade. I can go on rides but they aren't in the right place or I get stuck in an attraction which feels more like a museum exhibit.

None of it makes any sense but it's definitely a recurring dream I have. If only my brain would store my 17+ trips and show me WDW properly. Haha. Also I guess none of that counts as a nightmare but it's definitely annoying...
 
I've had several but I'm also planning a Disney wedding and bringing all my in-laws around the parks for a week... I dream I didn't bring any of my wedding stuff and my dress doesn't fit. I've also dreamt that my in laws hate everything about Disney and never speak with me again.
 
Of Course! Isn't that expected? A careful plan of any kind is often ruined "in a dream". Your flight is cancelled, a freak storm strands you at the airport, a youth trip is housed right next to you at your resort....dreams like this are "par for the course". Yup, happens all the time.
 
Mine usually involves forgetting all our money at home, DH decided not to come (he loves Disney), or we sit in the room the entire trip and never make it to the parks.
