Ford here has a huge host of traumas and anxieties and a very vivid imagination, so he's got a lot to draw on here. Dreams your character might experience during the first part of the event include:
The Hand Dream: Your character is being chased by a gigantic pair of disembodied hands. It's hard to tell whose, though they may get the sense the hands are their own. They may feel as though the hands are attempting to capture or crush them, or take something from them.
The Paralysis Dream: There is something very important that you have to do, but you can't move. Sometimes it's because you are restrained by glowing blue chains that snake around you and attach to cuffs at your wrists, ankles and throat. At other times you will have the horrible experience of slowly turning to gold, losing feeling and control of your body from the feet up.
The Possession Dream: Someone else is in your body, and you know because you're watching from outside of it. You get the feeling that no one else can see or hear you: they believe the thing inside your body is you, even when it does and says things you would never do or say. This can also stray into gore and body horror territory, because the thing in your body thinks pain is hilarious.
The Apocalypse Dream: The sky looks wrong. You have the strongest conviction that you need to fix it, but you don't know how and you can't find anything that might help you. You also have the sense that there are people who are missing who you need to find and protect, but you don't know where. Sometimes you might see long, spidery, gigantic hands and arms reaching through the portal and know they're reaching for you. Sometimes what they're connected to follows.
The Drowning Dream: You are on a little boat. Far away, too far to reach, someone you love is drowning. No matter what you do you can't get to them: the railing is strangely impossible to jump over, rope keeps tangling up your feet, and if you manage to grab and throw it you can never throw it far enough. If you do manage to somehow drag yourself off the boat and beneath the water, they'll sink faster than you can swim. Once you're in the water you'll find yourself unable to hold your breath, and you'll have to wake up or drown as well.
In all of these dreams you may feel a lingering sense of paranoia; you are likely to think other people you see are your enemies and want to hurt you, and you may imagine them with glowing yellow slitted eyes. You may also hear whispers that are indistinct but unsettling, or ones that are distinct and list off all of your failures and mistakes for you in excruciating detail.
These dreams can also be combined, and on the event proper I'll be having options tailored to them and a wildcard option if you want me to just make up something terrible and throw it at you! Ford has a lot to work with and there's plenty I didn't even touch on here.
