Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Scary Dreams
Normally my dreams are like taking 100 movie scripts and shuffling them. The plot just skips from random scene to random scene every few minutes. Also if it turns bad it never starts that way.. This one however was just one plot.. and started very subtle.
I was in a large house with other people, nice warm and bright a bit like a stately home. There were lots of mirrors everywhere and for quite a while nothing seemed wrong, people talked,ate and laughed.
Every now and again though I'd notice something odd in the mirrors.. a face looking through the doorway behind me but when I turned round no one was there. Often in the large mirrors people's reflections would seem to struggle to keep up with what they actually did. Like they were lagging or pretending.
It carried on getting weirder with other people noticing pictures in the reflections became twisted and furniture had subtle differences but when you looked round and looked back it was fine again.
The shock came when an old gentleman getting annoyed by this went to stare into a floor to ceiling mirror. He stared into the mirror at himself, then his reflection with lighting speed lunged out of the mirror and pulled him in before running out of the reflection of the door.
Looking round to the door it was empty and when I looked back in the mirror was a horribly mutilated body of this old chap arms reaching out to try to get back through the mirror, face screaming for help but no sound and no body on our side. Just Frozen.
Everyone huddled in the center of the room away from all mirrors. I looked at my reflection, it looked like me, it looked SCARED! I relaxed a little bit...until my reflection grinned and winked at me with a twisted smile.
I woke up then....
Forget monsters the subtle stuff always seems to be the worst!

I like this one
Mine would be when in the middle of a dream where I was wandering around my grandma's old house, a gigantic black angel reared out of the ground and screamed at me before diving through a chasm in the floor into the depths of hell.
I thought, 'That's a bit odd'.

arghh
you cunt, I'll not be able to go in the bathroom now. Mirrors creep me out anyway but now I'll be scared to look in case there's something behind me.

Insult to injury
Hehe sorry, to be fair when I did wake up I sat bold upright and looked straight ahead into.. yes the large mirror across the room.
Theres still a corner missing from a bedside lamp hitting it.
