My Nightdream

A 3-star assignment of Audio Dream Stories: This is a variation off of AudioAssignments70: Sound Effects Story, except the main goal of this assignment is to create a story using only sounds (no words) found on the Internet that tells the story of a dream using audio. Restrictions: use only sounds from freesound.org and a max of 2 minutes. Please remember to credit those who you have sampled. Also, please refrain from having 6+ “layers” in a dream. We all know from watching Inception that by that time, you’re way beyond the normal dreaming mind constructs and into the subconscious.

  Nightmare by melindakumi

My dream:  I have this recurring dream that stems from childhood fears.  This dream is always the end of a sequence (because I wake up during this dream and not parts before it) and the events that lead up to it is always different.  I am running up the side of my grandparents’ home to the garage door and it is locked but I know that there is a fire right inside of it.  I knock and try to shout but there are no voices from the ones inside or me on the outside.  Eventually the fire crumbles the front “facade” and I run out of the garage basically into my own garage at home, confused.  At home I am fleeing from the police (I know them by their uniforms because the siren never matches) and running circles around my house hoping that the orange/tangerine tree will fall on them as I pass it over and over and over and over again.  It is usually this time I wake up.  I am even more alarmed to find myself a young adult again and not a child.

The clips were from d20w, martian, payattention, cksned, and ifartinurgeneraldirection. All the sources are linked to the exact sounds that they were ordered in.
