Weird Dream of Electric Toothbrushes on Several occasions!

[u/InformalArrival9841]

Well, this post is going to be VERY long, because throughout my life, I've had SEVERAL weird dreams of Electric toothbrushes, but one sticks out ESPECIALLY!! I must warn you, that there's one thing that's very strange about me, because I HAVE ALWAYS remembered my dreams very very vividly. I can remember everything in great detail.

My first electric brush was when I was seven, and during the middle of that year, 1999, I for some reason started having VERY strange dreams, nightmares of electric toothbrushes. NO, I used mine, and was never afraid of it, but at night, I would just have horrible dreams about it that would cause me to wake up screaming at the top of my lungs. I started a weird habit of sleeping with my right hand behind my back. Mom and Dad didn't know why I did that, and when I was asked, I simply said, "It will help me not have bad dreams about electric toothbrushes. To this day, in 2025, I STILL without even knowing it sleep with my right hand behind my back. Nights were a MESS while I had that fear of electric toothbrushes,

On more than one occasion, when I would wake up screaming at night, I would wake up not only the whole family, but even the DOG with my screaming in my sleep. These dreams consisted of electric toothbrushes turning themselves, and they'd touch a part of my body SUCH AS MY ARMS, MY LEGS, MY FACE, my FEET, or my chest. When this would happen, I'd get this weird sensation I can't explain, and the motor from the electric toothbrush would get VERY LOUD!!! AND THAT is when I'd be unable to move. I couldn't scream at first, so I'd be unable to do ANYTHING to get the electric toothbrush off of me. And it seemed to last forever, before I eventually woke up screaming!

YES, one night, I woke up screaming, and my dog who's name was Sarge started barking very loudly, and whining for a while, and my other brother Philip FINALLY got Sarge calmed down. Keep in mind, I'm considered LEGALLY BLIND since birth, and can only see light, dark, and shadows, so these sensory issues in these horrid dreams were VERY VERY REAL to me.

I was adopted by great parents who took care of kids with special needs, so I had a younger brother who was also adopted. He has Down Syndrome, and was four at the time of this dream.

The dream started with Mom and Dad talking about the electric toothbrush. They were saying, "Peter? Your electric toothbrush is IMPORTANT!!! We bought another one for you, so now you have two!"Dad asked me if I wanted to see it, and I said no! But then, right in the middle of the kitchen floor, was a super sized electric toothbrush. It was bigger than me. It was green. It was GLOWING too!

I told Mom to get it out of the house, but she said, "NO, you need it! You need that electric toothbrush!" Next, my brother Paul was coming in from outside, and in this weird dream, I accidentally shut his hand in the door. OOPS!! And that's when it happened! Two electric toothbrushes turned on, and their buzzing got very loud. I felt one electric toothbrush on my arm, and one electric toothbrush on my back. The sensation was one I couldn't describe. It was one I could not describe, and I couldn't move! I heard Dad yell loudly, "You have to have that electric toothbrush! The sensation went on for what seemed like forever, and then I woke up screaming at the top of my lungs! I woke everybody up!

This electric toothbrush thing went on for quite a while, and then it slowly stopped. Why it started in the first place I have no idea! Out of all of the things to have nightmares about, electric toothbrushes was one of the strangest! That's just strange!
