The Top 5 List Thread

Can't beat a good catchy song. Rock 'n' Roll is another track of theirs I like more than Overkill.

Damage Case is a top 5 Motorhead for me overall as well. But I have such connection with the Overkill lyrics and the latter part of the song that it's impossible for me not to put it on top of the album.

Sick list @Bloopy, can't wait for pt 2 :lol:
Ok, top 5 most fucked up/disturbing dreams I've had. #1 is from 2010 but 5 & 4 were mentions in the Dreams thread in 2020 and the next two got me starting these lists last year. Quality is on the up!

5. The panic attack dream. I was working back in an office. I wanted to get away for dinner, but coworkers kept wanting to go over things with me. I had a total panic attack - started hyperventilating, went down on my knees, and shuffled out of the room as I was making an unholy wailing/screeching sound with my head in my hands. This dream was around the same time that a bunch of my hair started falling out in 2020.

4. Around the same time I also dreamt I was on the ground floor of a multi-storey motel when it was ripped apart by a major earthquake. The stairs up to my room were exposed precariously in open air but I went up anyway. I had some vague recollection I'd left a motel maid bound and gagged in the closet or something, but I don't remember what I found. Maybe she'd gotten out and I just grabbed my stuff to escape with the evidence. That part of the building was now leaning over a high fence by a road. I jumped down onto the road and broke my leg.

3. I dreamt I stopped at a tiny rural settlement by the highway in buttfuck nowhere. I looked around at what food their cafe had. I walked through another building and saw some museum-type displays and a guy doing some woodwork or something. Out the back I found a dead hedgehog that had died while using its previously deceased and decaying mate as a mattress. I picked up the hedgehog and fucked it, with the dream somehow resolving incompatible proportions (honest).

2. I was in a little castle-like building with a small tower. Supposedly the top floor of the tower was used for burning witches. I found a naked blonde woman shackled there on the stone where the fire would be lit. For some reason I couldn't save her from being burnt, so I asked her if she wanted one last fuck. While I was fucking her I used a sharp axe to make minor cuts in her neck.

1. I entered the garage of my childhood home with a workmate, and he found two bottles of pee which I figured deterred insects somehow. The inside morphed to my parents' current house. I went looking around and found a woman hanged dead in a shower, naked except for a scary mask. My subconscious told me it was my mother. Upstairs I found my aunt tied up and unconscious on the floor. I called emergency services and heard some loud thumping coming from downstairs. I found a few other stairs leading down to nowhere and hid there, at which point I was chewing a plastic knife and whispering to emergency services via a paper cup. A woman I didn't recognise appeared, and she was growing and mutating and looked murderous, so I ran into my parents' bedroom and shut the door behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw how much I was shaking, then found a second door to shut myself behind while I figured out what to do.
 
3 had more mundane details that I left out. Plenty of mulling over food and looking around. I imagined I was driving long distance and the settlement was somewhere around Horopito. I had no idea that's where the film Smash Place was set. The fucked up bit seemed relatively natural for the setting. I would've put it higher if the dream hedgehog was still alive...

Oh, and the dream was partly fuelled by the death of a sick hedgehog in real life, but not one I saw in person ...and not one that got fucked. :lol: A story I may never tell in full.
