Actual Dreams About Your Doll

I had a dream about unboxing a large male doll (one I have no plans to even order!) and realizing.. he'd come with all sorts of optional parts! I mean, there were not just three sets of hands (??) but also a spare set of lower legs and feet, and I think an extra head that didn't have the same face on it?

It was really cool, but I was trying to figure out where to stash all these spare parts, and whether I'd ordered them by accident.

 

I dreamed I was a seamstress with a little shop on a cobbled street, and human-sized doll women kept coming to shop. Their hair was amazing. All of them wanted ruffles and structured shoulders.

 

I had a really bizarre/unsettling dream featuring Vince the other night.

I mean, the first unsettling thing was that my dad dropped me off at a doll meet, and my dad had died before I got my first doll, so... it just started off on a feeling of 'wait, that's not right'. The host was someone I knew, not super-well, but well enough that I also knew the apartment the meet was in wasn't their apartment at all. And then one of the attendees was a friend from high school who doesn't collect dolls, but she and I were there the longest. My childhood pet cat was there, for some reason. Vince wound up with Pete's face halfway through the meet, which... was very weird, since neither of them operate on a faceplate system, Pete's head doesn't really fit on Vince's body, and they're not remotely close to the same resin color. And I hadn't brought Pete. And then I never got picked back up and couldn't get in touch with my family so I was just out on the street in the dark holding my doll in a plastic bag on one arm, and my phone in the other hand.

No harm befell either of us, but I woke up without any resolution, either, and did not enjoy the whole 'alone on a dark street with doll' feeling.

 

Oh man, I just had a rather scary doll dream last night!

As it stands here in the real world, I just made my final layaway payment on my grail doll and can't wait for him to ship! In my dream, I was browsing on DoA when I got a notification telling me that someone else had snatched up my grail--after I already started his layaway! It was kinda like the Marketplace changed to resemble ebay, where people could either bid on the dolls or click "buy it now" for a set price. But I was already putting down actual money on the doll, and I didn't get any back when the doll was purchased by someone else. I messaged the seller to ask what was going on, but they pretty much told me "you snooze, you lose!"

When I woke up, I actually sighed in relief when I realized it was only a dream. I'm so anxious to get my doll, now

 

I had my first doll dream last night. It was a dolly nightmare! I had my little girl in pieces to spray her with sealant outside, and I took her parts inside after it all dried-- but I forgot her head! I only remembered the next dream day, but it was too late. The summer heat was too much. Her resin was all uneven and dark yellow, and she somehow got little holes all over her face. I tried to fix her up as best I could, but it was a futile attempt. I woke up in such a fright.

 

I had a really bad doll dream the other day! I was opening a box for what my dream self called an OnlyDoll Youbai (but it would actually have been a Fantasy Doll Amber) and I discovered it was a complete mess! It was 18 cm instead of ~26 cm and not proportioned like a YoSD at all. Plus the resin was extremely poorly cast. There were huge bubbles and gaps in places. The head piece didn't quite fit together. And I was holding this really poorly made hunk of plastic trying to justify it like "Well, maybe I can practice the chest mods I wanted for this character on it..?"

Also for some reason there was a normal, perfectly cast YoSD head there and even in the dream I wasn't sure if it was an event item or not.

Fortunately when I woke up I realized it was just a dream! Maybe all the talk about Chinese companies being low quality finally got to my subconcious, which is too dumb to realize that almost all of my dolls are Chinese and I have never had an issue with them, lol.

 

I dreamed about my dolls a lot. They're often apperared in the same size as a human. The most recent one is when I sent one of my doll to face-up artist and that night I dreamed that he's crying and telling me he did not want to go.

 

I have had quite a good several of them, some good, some cringeworthy. ^_^ I'm in a profession that predisposes me to have vivid dreams, so it's not surprising. Among those are:

- My Granado Michael was a real life human, yet he acknowledged me as his dolly mom and was even offering me a seat (which I kept saying should be his). I can't help but feel proud when so many people were commenting how good-looking he was. XD

- One of my Impldoll Azalea's eyelashes fell off. In another dream, she had a chunk of her eyebrow ridge chipped off when I wasn't looking. Alas, she seems to be a target for bad dreams.

- My precious Fantasia Vivian's head fell down the river as I was getting on a boat (don't ask) prior to sending her off to the faceup artist.

 

I had a dream once where this dude tried trading me a legit venitu(I even remember the CoAs) for a hecking mirodoll wind...I don't know where the mirodoll wind came in, I've never even wanted one, but venitu will haunt my dreams until I purchase one.

 

I had a dream last night that I found a bunch of beautiful BJDs and similarly pricy dolls at a thrift store, including a Minifee Mirwen who was priced at $20. It was a lovely dream.

 

I dreamt I found an amazingly beautiful doll once and I realized it was a dream, but thought I could pull the doll out of the dream into reality by keeping the dolls face very vivid in my mind as I woke up. Sadly it didn't work.

 

I usually have dreams about the characters of my doll (or dolls that I want...). Recently, I have had dreams about my Star Wars character and shelling her into the Supiadoll Juah, and my superhero character and shelling her into the Supiadoll Haeun.

 

I had a dream that someone had released a doll made to be a Viking man, with a face that would be just perfect for shelling one of my OCs so long as I purchased him blank and not with the included beard Alas, when I woke up, no such thing has occurred.

 

Last night I dreamed my Dollshe order had suddenly arrived with no shipping notice. Somehow, I had already finished the intended dolls’ outfits so I was able to pull the bodies out of the boxes and assemble everything right away. The guys looked so great! I was over the moon stepping back to look at them all finished. In the same dream, I had also acquired two real-life miniature horses and I was driving them in a cart. Waking up was a disappointment.

 

I dreamed about having a beautiful msd and I was making stuff for it. xp

Hopefully, that will happen one day.

 

I had a dream that resulted in doll plans, does that count? This is the second time something of the sort happened - a dream spawned an idea for a story had me wanting to shell the main characters. Whoopsie.

 

Just had a dream that my limited doll got into the hands of a little kid and they colored all over it with crayon. And when I asked my sisters, who were supposed to be watching her, they didn't really seem sorry, just confused that I would collect such pricey dolls. All I could think was "At least it wasn't Sharpie..."

 

Sometimes I dream about doll shopping in a physical store. Those are a lot of fun. And I think a few times I may have dreamt about collecting my dolls to evacuate the house during some disaster.

 

I dream about BJD's all the time! I've had both good and bad dreams about them. I woke up REALLY UPSET a few days ago because I dreamt my dolls shattered. I've also woken up mega disappointed cuz I've dreamt about getting my Grail or being gifted a bucket load of free doll clothes, only to wake up and realize it didn't actually happen. My favourite dreams though are when my dolls are real and are my best and only friends. I have no friends in real life so I may be slightly over attached to my dollies.....

 

I have dreams about my dolls all the time. Had a dream recently that I was so disappointed from when I woke up, like I was crying because it seriously seemed so real and I didn't know that it wasn't. In the dream my husband and I had had a small fight before going out shopping so I wasn't really into it (this is normal cause he's a money stresser). Then we went into a new shop in the mall that had Oriental goods and I was like we'll probably just look around and go home. But I found a couple of displays in the back corner that had drawers. And when I opened one up, I slammed it back after I saw inside. Doll clothes! One drawer for each size doll, and the other display of drawers had shoes! They were super affordable and there were a few boxes on the floor off to one side, so I asked the lady at the counter what was in them. Doll wigs and eyes!!!! We ended up leaving the mall with several bags of just doll things and when we got home, I was finally able to complete everyone's different looks with a sizeable collection of items left over for incoming dolls. So I started organizing the pieces that weren't being used into my containers and I told my husband that they didn't fit. So we planned to get some new containers when JoAnn's had a sale on storage containers again. And we just started talking about cute Cashew and Kiwi looked in their new outfits and I wanted to make a list of posing for them. Then it got kinda blurry and I shook my head. Everything got even more blurry and I called for my husband and he started shaking me, I was like wtf... Apparently when everything got blurry I was starting to wake up and i scared my husband so he shook my awake while I was talking in my sleep. It didn't really click at first that I'd woken up from a dream and I had a strong urge to check out the stuff we'd just bought, but it wasn't there. I was heartbroken.

 

A few weeks after I ordered my first doll I dreamed that she arrived in the mail. I was so happy and opened her box, and she was sooooo perfect. Then I woke up. Made me so sad to realize I didnt have her yet.

 

I'm glad I'm not alone here! I have a doll I'm waiting for right now, and the other night, I dreamt she had arrived already. For whatever reason, dream me hadn't prepared a single thing for her, though, so she was blank, wigless, and naked!

 

Oh noes! I dont remember any part of my dream doll except her face being really vivid. I have no idea if dream me got her clothes. I remember the crushing disapointment most. I do know i got my reality doll an outfit and a few wigs so she wont be naked.

 

Dreamt I was at some kind of boy doll show-and-tell and the doll I was meant to be showing was a 1/6 man who had, oops, been sent with two right arms as some kind of oversight... so he had three arms. I remember being quite glad he was sent clothed and posed beautifully, but I also had to do a little emergency restringing to remove the extra arm that didn't fit his shoulder joint and store it in his case. Which had a pocket almost perfectly sized to hold an extra arm. Like you do.

 

I had a dream that it was Christmas and the only heartfelt/personalized gift I got was from my best friend, who got me a bunch of doll clothes. He wasn't there, but for some reason we all got him gifts too? It was mostly a dream about how much I love this idiot but the doll clothes were dream-proof of him being really thoughtful and supportive.
Also several dreams about being back in Japan and doll shopping in a weird, dreamlike way.

 

About a year or two ago, I had a dream of dropping one of my doll heads and watching it hit the floor and breaking! I've been very careful with my dolls and I'm always afraid of something happening to them. That must be why I dreamed about that!

 

I'm currently in the process of planning a new doll ... customized body from one company, modded head from another ...outfit and wig homemade, etc.
And last night I dreamed about it. It looked perfect, I got it for Christmas ...but when I started playing around with it, parts started to break ... fingers fell off ... the head cracked ... a thigh broke in half. Suddenly the doll was made of white chalk and literally turned to dust in my hands.

I just hope that is not a bad sign. XD

 

I think I only dreamt about BJDs once. I was organising my closet when I came across a cardboard box that I've apparently never opened. When I looked inside I saw at least five brand new BJDs with colourful skins(I even think they were little Giorras from DepthsDolls). Needless to say I was pretty frustrated when I woke up

 

I’ve had a dream before that my littlefee was moving around at night in the dark and every morning she was in a different place or position! I told my fiancé and he was terrified but to me it wasn’t scary it was just like she was shy and didn’t want to be caught moving

 

last week i paid off a grail doll and wasn’t expecting her from france for at least a week, if not more. i had a dream friday night that she came in a deep brown color (she’s ws) and her legs had broken off in transit i was crushed. and then my bf woke me up not long after (in real life not in the dream lol) that my doll had arrived from france! (in only 5 days too!) she came perfectly fine lol.

i had another dream i missed the preorder for my grail of all grails. i was devasted.

 

I woke up specifically to find this thread, because just last night I had a CHAIN of doll dreams, all were interlinked. I tend to wake up numerous times in the night, and sometimes very rarely, I'll pick up where I left off. DX Hence this happened.

I had a weird series of dreams wherein I went to college and my boyfriend came with me. And I'd gotten a bunch of dolls, all kinds not just BJD's, and some were on route shipping when I had to move back home. (This prolly stemmed from the fact I really did move from another state last week.) I was terrified because I didn't know how to reroute their shipping to my new address so I was trying to stuff them all into my very packed, very unspaced suitcases and it was a literal nightmare. DX

I don't remember how it ended, but I know I was stressed out. I'm getting a couple new dolls here really soon, and I notice this happened to me the first time I got my first doll, too. I'm noticing a pattern. DX

 

Dream? I want a bjd family with maybe 3-4 kids. I want them to have a full furnished house. I mean, one can dream hahahaha

 

Last night I had a dream where my Minifee Eva's faceup was peeling off like dry skin. At first I was calm, thinking it was normal because "her faceup is so many years old," even though in reality, it's only a few months old, haha. The peeling got worse and worse and I tried to make plans to send her off to an artist to redo the faceup. Then I got all stressed out about it, because money is tight right now and I even started to feel like I didn't like her anymore? Just before I woke up, she had turned into a Bratz doll and I was mortified.

I think this dream/nightmare played on my fear of losing love for my dolls. I've recently struggled with attempts to re-style my older dolls, so it's weird that the dream involved my newest doll whose look I'm completely satisfied with.

There was also another BJD in the dream that I don't actually own. At first I loved it, but its face disappeared bit by bit. It was kind of like the children's toy dolls from early 2000s that came with blank faces and stickers or something to customize their faces. I never owned one of those, but I remember really wanting one. I did own a couple of Bratz dolls, so I don't know, maybe my subconscious just wanted a random childhood memory trip.

 

A dream was actually a deciding factor in my decision to put my soon (ha! 7-8 months from now given estimated production times) to be Doll Leaves girl on layaway. After I saw her on the DDE site I had a dream where we were sitting down and talking over tea. It struck me as a sign my brain had really fallen in love with the doll and the next day I sorted out if I could comfortably put her on layaway. So now I wait for the little prim and proper lady I had tea with once in a dream.

 

I've dreamed about buying dolls and getting new dolls, never had a horror dream with my dolls though.
These dreams often include dressing up a doll, buying a new one then playing with it till the dream ends.

 

I'm notorious for sleep talking and my girlfriend unfortunately is always awake when I do. Last night, apparently, I was concerned about giving my new SD doll some sweet and sour sauce from McDonald's.

 

my dream involved visiting a store (not too sure of which one specifically) and finding an aisle full of BJDs - something reminiscent of how american girl dolls are positioned at their store. i have an AG doll of my own and have gone to their store before, so i think i might have been wishing for BJDs to be available as they are, haha! it was really surprising for me mid-dream, as if dreaming me knew something was off. i felt quite sad when i woke up from it, and i still can vividly imagine most of the dream. what was really strange however, was that most of the BJDs themselves were volks sculpts, presented as their standard models with their basic dress and whatnot. at that time, i wasn't very interested in volks and had only visited their website a handful of times, so i found it odd that i dreamt about them in particular! so far it's been the only BJD related dream i've had, but i'm sure i'll have more once i have dollies of my own.

 

I've dreamed that I've received my DollZone Scarecrow Hal and was so extremely excited until I woke up and was just ;w;

 

I had a dream a few months ago that I entered my doll in some kind of contest, and that one of the other contestants then stole her head and melted it down.

I got the melted head back and tried to recreate it with some kind of mold, and it didn't work.

So, I sculpted a replica out of polymer clay and papier mache, and managed to win the contest with it.

I was very thankful to wake up and see my doll still had her original head.

I was much less thankful to wake up without the contest prize...it was something like $10,000...

 

.

 

I feel like I've had various dreams involving my bjds, but I can't frankly recall when I did, or what the dreams were about. The only one I can recall with any clarity was more of a nightmare....

In the dream, I had my main guy on a surface near my bed. I awoke to look over at him—only to notice his faceup was smearing off. The whole ordeal felt so real to me that when I actually awoke—I though that his faceup was inexplicably messed up. It wasn't until I took a moment to look him over did I realize it was all just a horrid dream

 

Only once, the dream was that they all ended up getting thrown into a fire, it was wild LOL

 

This reminds me of something that happened to me around one month ago. I didn't actually dream nor was it a specific doll. I felt sick, was having severe pain and laid in my bed crying. Somehow suddenly a doll popped up in my mind. In my thoughts, I touched it, spoke to and played with it. It was not a dream but it wasn't conscious thinking either. I don't know why but it made me feel at ease and I could stand the pain much better Such a wondrous experience...

 

i had a nightmare once that my dika cain was like mini human sized and he was really set on killing me so he just chased me till i screamed at him and now i look like a moron cus i constantly give that bastard the stink eye

 

I had a strange dream when my child come alive and play with me as a real human, and then... I suddenly turned into his doll. Thanks God, he still love me like the way I do!
So interesting that, unlike some other people, until now no one in my wanna-buy list appear in my dream...

 

I had a dream about redoing the face on my newest the other night. For some reason everything I set out on my desk to do it would disappear and I couldn't find my paintbrushes haha.

 

Does anyone else have dolly dreams?

I've found out that if I spend time before bed browsing the gallery or instsgrsm, I have glorious dreams about castles and princes and adventures. I'm not sure why, but it's brill & it's now part of my evening routine.

 

Not all the time, but when I had/have dolls waiting to arrive (or any toy really), I have dreams about their arrivals or disasters on their way to me. Which are not always pleasant ones I must say, but sometimes they are. I don't usually dream about my dolls (or other toys I own, will own), unless I'm stressing about them, like how it can be when I know they are arriving or will be shipped soon -- I try to not stress about it, but there's not a lot you can do if you're dreaming about them. I don't think I've ever had just a random dream about my dolls however, it's always due to me knowing they are arriving or I'm redoing their face ups, or modifying them. So, I have dreams about dolls but not necessarily just because I was looking at them or browsing doll photos, they are more because I'm already thinking about them in a stressful way, so they are not always pleasant or fairytale-like dreams, like yours, unfortunately. (:

 

I just had a dream last night that I hosted a doll-meet at my house

 

Sometimes! The best/worst was dreaming I received this box of really cool girl dolls in the mail, but didn't remember ever ordering any. They were all secondhand and needed some TLC, but still awesome. Waking up was the worst, I suddenly had 5 fewer dolls. They were all sculpts that either I'm not familiar with or don't exist, as I didn't recognize any of them in the dream.

Sometimes I also dream of inspiration for dolls. My sister and I have been planning out a roleplay and I needed one more male character but had zero inspiration. Last night, I had a dream about this boy, and while he was technically human in the dream, somehow I knew that he was actually a character in my doll RP. After I woke up, I started seeing his name (Taylor) everywhere. I've also been selling a lot of stuff and got my tax refund today, looked on eBay for secondhand dolls (something I never do) and found a legit doll at a very good price which is a sculpt that works perfectly for him. So I guess in this case, I didn't dream about my doll so much as a dream inspired a doll!

 

I've only had one doll-related dream, and it was when I first got into the hobby! I dreamt that I found a broken Impldoll Hannah head under my bed... I didn't recognize the sculpt or know what it was called at the time, and discovering her years later was a very surreal experience. I must have seen her in passing while browsing and subconsciously remembered her...

 

i’ve dreamt about dolls a lot, typically finding/receiving a bunch of random dolls that i can’t remember anything about once i wake up.

only recently though i’ve been having dreams that helped me decide wether or not i should get a new doll. the first time this happened was in early january this year after i found an old volks f-01 on ya!j auctions and was immediately smitten despite the fact that she was missing her headcap and had super uneven yellowing. the night before her auction ended i had a dream that i was holding her in my hands and could feel this unbelievable calm just radiating off of her. i couldn’t shake the feeling even after i woke up, so i placed a bid and won her.

this might sound hokey but she has lowkey changed my life! she has inspired me to learn new fabrication techniques and taught me to not to be afraid of failure on the path to success. even incomplete she is so special to me and i love her so much, so i guess moral of the story is listen to your subconscious. haha!

more recently i had another dream about a specific doll, this time a preorder doll, that i wound up getting. so i guess it’ll be a good test for the ‘buy dolls you dream about’ theory.

 

Only two doll dreams so far. One was pretty predictable and the second really, really strange, both were extremely lively.

The normal one: I once dreamed, I bought Doll Chateau Madeleine, but she arrived broken -- with crushed leg and arm! I felt desperate and thought, there is no way I can fix that bad damage. I would have to contact the company so they could send me spare parts or something. And wait, again! I've already waited for her to arrive and now again. I woke up very disappointed and sad. It took a couple of minutes to register, she is actually OK. Only doll item I was actually waiting for were eyes, so the probability of damage is, fortunately.

The weird one: I had the second dream while I was ill and feverish, so it was quite weird, unsurprisingly. But started deceptively normal. It went like this: I was searching for tiny, stainless steel lobster clamps for doll jewelry, but couldn't find any tiny enough, so I scrolled and scrolled down eBay page after page and nothing. I got tired, frustrated and bored, so I opened a chat app and met a doll. Yes, I met a doll over chat app We started to talk, well..write messages, more exactly. It turned out he is actually a historic figure, death over 500 years ago. It didn't seem weird at that time, at all. I just kept on ranting, I can't find these lobster clamps and continue scrolling in between messages. Finally, I found them but there was a quantity limit per person. So I complained about it and he ended up ordering loads of these lobster clamps for me. I have no clue how he managed it, probably because dolls aren't considered to be persons so the limit per person didn't apply to him. I woke up incredibly happy, knowing I wouldn't need to buy any more of them till the end of my life. But I was still really confused because of the fever, so I started to worry, I didn't ask him what he wanted in return, I was simply too happy to think about it earlier, and now, I was in a debt. And that's a dangerous situation.

This second dream inspired me to plan some doll versions of my favorite historic figures, but I didn't shell any, yet. Searching for right sculpts is damn difficult. I think this kind of dream might be very disturbing for some people.

 

Pretty sure I dreamt of an Iplehouse FID Bichun coming in the post the other night, after pining most of the day for one. Thing is, I need to buy one first!

Of course, it might help if I had the funds with which to do that.

 

I have dreamt with dolls two times, maybe three, but there is only one I remember as clear as if it happened today.
At the beggining of my time in this hobby, just a little after I had received my first doll, I had this dream where I was waiting for a new doll to arrive home and I was very excited, but, when I opened the package, the dolls was separated in pieces and one half of the doll's face was melted like someone totally burned it. I remember I woke up with my heart beating super fast and very scared.

 

Sometimes I will have nightmares of someone taking my girls, or breaking them. I have dreams of all different kinds every night, but I never consider any of them nightmares unless it involves tragedy befalling my BJDs.

 

Overall I don’t dream of BJDs that often and when I do it’s very casual mentions of them, and never dolls I currently own.

A specific exemple was dream where I murdered someone then tried to run away from the police. My packing involved two BJDs; a green haired Zaoll Luv (which I plan on buying at some point), and a rainbow-haired Limhwa Half Elf. The dolls were only a brief mention in the dream.

Otherwise it’s stuff like cleaning my bedroom and finding a doll or doll parts I forgot I owned.


The only doll-centric dream I recall was about a company sending out dolls, and if you like them you can send the payment. Otherwise you have to return the dolls. I think they were loosely based on Disney’s Ariel and Eric.

 

I must say I never have. Maybe now that I have the thought in my head, I will. Ha !

 

My dreams are rather tame in comparison to some of these others! I usually just dream about finding dolls or doll related items in unconventional places. Finding quiet little thrift or antique shops and landing upon hidden gold mines. Usually things like clothing or furniture.

 

I used to dream a lot about being gifted a BJD when I was a child! Particularly one modelled after a Rozen Maiden or Hazuki from MoonPhase!
