By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/people-and-their-nightmares-from-all-over-the-world.htmlPhotographer Roc Morin (Roc Morin) took on the difficult task of creating a world atlas of dreams. Morin has traveled to 18 countries, photographing people and collecting their stories about what they dream about. Curiously, most of them describe their nightmares.
1. " I was riding a sea monster. It was pink." New Orleans, USA.
2. " I'm 103 years old, so I don't sleep well. But when I do, I see the dead-dead bodies, familiar and unfamiliar." Rajuri, India.
3. " There were too many people, so the government poisoned the air. The dead were everywhere." Tokyo, Japan.
4. " When you try to get off the heroin, the dreams are particularly vivid. In one of them, I was floating somewhere in the universe, between the stars and the planets. I could see the Land in the distance. For some reason, I had to move all my internal organs to some other place to save the world. It was counting down to when the Earth would explode if I didn't do it in time. When I woke up, I turned on my side, and all my internal organs were on the bed next to me. I started to panic, thinking that the only way to get my organs back in place was to inject myself. Which I did, and immediately felt much better." Tijuana, Mexico.
5. "I was on the train, and we were approaching the station. The station was called "Happiness". But instead of stopping, the train began to turn around. We finally arrived at the cemetery." Tokyo, Japan.
6. " Working as a volunteer at a charity hospital at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, I realized that, unfortunately, I can recognize death. I can feel it coming. I don't think it's a gift, but rather a curse. So, in my dream, I go to the mirror and see the shadow of death on my own face. I know what it looks like — there's something in the eyes, a kind of emptiness. I'm dying from what I've seen thousands of people die from." New Orleans, USA.
7. "I dreamed that my husband was carrying a gas cylinder. Suddenly, it exploded. I started running frantically back and forth, trying to collect all the pieces with my hands and sobbing." Devpur, India.
8 ." In elementary school, I was walking around my neighborhood with friends. Suddenly, a motorcycle pulled up, and there was a man with a knife on it. He slaughtered all my friends, and I was the only one left alive. He didn't even touch me." Tokyo, Japan.
9. " In Afghanistan, one of my friends was killed by his best friend. It was an accidental shot. Many months later, when I was back in the United States, I dreamed that someone was ringing the doorbell. It was my friend, happy and contented, with a small suitcase. He was released from paradise for 48 hours. We spent the whole weekend together-going to bars, talking, and walking my dog, Roxy, in the park. That's where we met our best friend. He hugged him and said: "You will always be my brother. I don't want you to have any guilt in your heart for what happened." Then I saw that my friend was holding on to his neck, which was gushing blood. And then I saw him in a coffin, in full dress uniform, deader than a door nail. I was sweating profusely and crying. I woke up to Roxy licking my face." Columbus, Georgia, USA.
10. "In my dreams, I always run, holding my friend's hand. A man is chasing us — always the same man, but I never see his face. We run to a fork in the road and run in different directions, thinking that he can only chase one of us. At this moment, a second stranger without a face appears." Tokyo, Japan.
11. "I killed someone and I'm cooking them. This is my classmate. I didn't really hate him, but I didn't like him. I cut it up and fry it in a frying pan. I'm going to eat it, probably to get rid of the evidence." Ahmedabad, India.
12. "There was a party going on in some huge warehouse. I was about to commit a terrorist act. I built pneumatic piles under the warehouse. They threw up the warehouse, and it turned upside down, along with all the people who were inside. At some point, I thought, " Why am I doing this at all?.. It doesn't make any sense," but he continued anyway. When I woke up, the feeling was so real that for a minute I thought I was going to be locked up." Detroit, USA.
13. " I was dragged away from his coffin. The next day, I searched the Internet for the most effective ways to commit suicide. I blame myself for his death. Maybe if I hadn't been half asleep that morning, I would have told him it was raining outside and I should have been more careful. The first thing the doctor said: he crashed into a truck. He broke his neck. OK. At least he wasn't torn to pieces. In my dreams, I see my husband's face, he is always dressed in a uniform. He came back from somewhere. I feel so relieved, like we're having a normal morning again. I try to say something, but I can't. I'm starting to feel weak and I know I'm dying. I'm dying in his place, and I'm so happy that the last thing I see is his face." Tokyo, Japan.
14. " My sister was killed, but even before that, I often dreamed that I was being shot at. It's always the same dream. I'm in the backseat of a parked car in Los Angeles. I'm talking and drinking when some guy comes up and asks me my name. As soon as I say, "Omar," he pulls out his gun and boom, boom, boom! I can feel these bullets in my body." Tijuana, Mexico.
15. "I never knew my mother, she left right after I was born. I've never even seen her in pictures. I have a recurring dream that I'm lying in bed drunk, the door is ajar, someone knocks and leaves. I jump up and run after her down the stairs. I call out to her, but she doesn't turn around. I want to see her face, so I reach out, grab her hair, and turn her head around. She has no face. Instead, it's just blackness." Mumbai, India.
16. "I was standing in line with my mother. We were waiting to be tortured by some machine that runs on tears. She squeezed all the tears out of the man. And across the room was a red chute, with a river of tears running down it. My mother went ahead of me. When she came out, she was still alive, but all her bones were broken." Brooklyn, New York, USA.
