EDIT: Apologies for the length of my post. I share my weird DS dreams below...
I remember two DS dreams most vividly because they were nightmares and were very scary at the time. I had these two dreams several years ago:
 In one dream, I was in the Old House. There were flickering candles everywhere... the sun was going down... Then the dogs started howling...and howling... and howling... I knew Barnabas was coming... any minute... and that if he caught me there he'd definitely kill me. I could really sense his ominous presence in the house. The howling dogs and the darkening sky were sending me into a total panic, and I tried to get out but the door was locked... I looked back at the door to the cellar and saw the doorknob to the cellar door start turning... I woke up in a cold sweat before I ever saw Barnabas (whew!)
 In another dream, I was somewhere in the West Wing of Collinwood just standing there. I then heard Quentin's music playing eerily in the empty West Wing. The room felt very, very cold. I then peered down the cobwebbed hallway. There, stood Quentin's ghost, with his arched eyebrow, just evilly staring right through me... Suddenly I somehow **am** Quentin! He's taken possession of me and I am filled with a vengeful, evil desire to do harm to the rest of the people in Collinwood...and to my real-life friends too. It was scary. In the dream, a part of me was deeply terrified and screaming out for Quentin to stop this! I felt like I was losing all control of my mind in the dream. It honestly felt like I was becoming possessed by Quentin. It was a terrifiying feeling. Again, I woke up, totally and completely freaked out!
It sounds like I'm almost filling the David Collins role in these dreams. He was in those same scary situations in the show as I recall. But I was definitely, physically myself in the dream and not David.
I had another DS dream st week where I went into the parallel time room with Elizabeth and the room changed, trapping us in that time. I desperately tried to convince Liz we were stuck in parallel time but she wouldn't believe me, turned her back to me and said, "I don't want to discuss it any further!!" LOL! Even in my dream Joan Bennett stays in character!Â
My uncle (who got me addicted to DS back in the early 80s), has lucid dreams. He can control them and makes himself fly and can do all kinds of wild stuff in his dreams simply by willing it. However, the one individual he has never been able to control in his dreams is...you guessed it - Barnabas. Once in a great while Mr. Collins shows up in a dream of his. He says Barnabas scares him in his dream and is an ominous presence which my uncle has no control over even now. And that's been the case since the 60s!
I'd be curious to hear about other DS-related dreams.Â
