Have you ever dreamed of This Man?

Well, have you? I never have, but the picture certainly is creepy whether the story is fake or not.

I can safely say: no. I don't have any creepy guy with massive eyebrows stalking my dreams.

It's fake, and old. It came up two years ago or so.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Doesn't mean you never dreamed of him though, it just means that there's nothing supernatural about it and you're just freaked out by the image.

It's all just pareidolia. There is actually no face, just a bunch of pixels.

Your face is just pareidolia.

... I'm sorry.

If you haven't done a google image search for "pareidolia" recently, some of them are pretty funny. And you can be sure thousands of people around the world are dreaming about faces that look exactly like them, every night. :)

I actually have, but I also have faint memories of a friend talking about this before, so I may very well have seen the image before.

Now to partially derail this thread:  Has anyone ever had a dream involving a friend, and then the friend has the same dream as you?  Sort of like you both were in the same dream at the same time?  Because it has happened to me and my best friend since we were kids a total of 5 times now, and it's fucking creepy.

No, but apparently my best friend from my childhood dreams about me every time I really desperately need her.  Er, as evinced by the fact that I contact her almost immediately afterwards every time, even if we've had almost no contact for a couple of years.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

...

My mom had a dream as a teenager.  This was a very, very vivid dream that stuck in her mind through the years.  She even remembered the exact date she had the dream.  It was really simple.  A man slipped quietly into his house in the middle of the night, laid down on the couch in his living room, and died in his sleep.

A few years later my dad took her home to his family for the first time.  When they had all seated at the table to eat supper -- my mom, my dad, his brother, and his mom.

Mom:  "Where's your dad?  Will he not be here tonight?"

*awkward silence*

Uncle: "... hasn't he told you?  Dad died a few years ago."

*dawning realization*

Mom:  "Wait... did he look like (-insert physical description here-)"

Uncle:  "Umm... yes..."

Mom:  "Did he die... on (-insert date here-)"

Uncle: "Ummm...... yes......"

Mom:  "And... he died... on that couch... didn't he?"



Yup... true story.

I'm getting the feeling you aren't the only one to have this reaction.
