I always have LOADS of vivid dark dreams, I thought I'd put 2 here because they're kinda smiliar.
The first started as an episode of Dark Angel, complete with Jessica Alba (thank God!). The team had assembled a huge drill with which they were going to drill down into the underworld to destroy Satan. After several hundred feet they happened upon a cave, inside which were several demons, oddly similar to sixties horror movie characters; devilishly handsome, dark hair and pointy goatees, and wearing black polo neck sweaters. They were sitting around laughing, all aloof and enjoying their fine brandy and cigars. After several more miles of drilling (and hundreds of caverns filled with "demons") the dream had shaken its Dark Angel roots and turned into something a lot darker.
The team leader entered a large cavern, dark but in places illuminated with a fiery red light. Standing with his hands chained behind his back and fixed to the rock wall was the devil himself, complete with red skin and goat legs. He was standing with one hoof on the team leader's hand, crushing it slowly so that he was begging for mercy. Satan did then let go, but immediately he broke free from his chains and grabbed the team leader's arm, pushing the hand all the way into his mouth and biting hard. The team leader was crippled with pain, crying out to let him go as his hand was slowly bitten off. Once again Satan stopped, but only to push the leader's arm into his mouth, sliding it all the way in. He didn't stop there, but gradually pushed the man's entire body into his mouth, slowly swallowing him alive, smoothly sliding him down into his gullet.
When he had finished, Satan opened his mouth wide, and for a brief moment I saw the team leader's face staring out of his mouth. The dream ended.
The second dream had me wandering the grounds of an American high school campus. Several religious buildings had been built to cater for all tastes - a church, a mosque and maybe another, I can't remember. I saw some young men who used to be students of the school returning, all walking separately but all going in the same direction, all dressed in red hooded robes. I stopped one & asked what they were doing, and he said "We're digging a mosque".
I followed him into the mosque & saw them all huddled around an altar at the front. As I got closer I saw a bowl of blood at either end of the altar, with a small effigy of a man in one, a woman in the other, and somehow I knew it was related the Kaballah & the Tree of Life. I went up to the small crowd of hooded figures in front of the altar and they were digging a huge pit which was filled with blood. The guy who I had originally stopped had a glint in his eye as he said "We're digging right down till we hit hell." The dream ended there.
I'm guessing in retrospect that these were related to some kind of programming... I have had other dark, surreal dreams about being underground too.
