Why Are You Here?

I came around when Caren Kohberger/TJ Mullis murdered their son. It was linked on another site I am on (a site related to fertility/pregnancy/parenting). I stayed because it never fails to amaze me the things people can do to one another, but most especially to children. I stay because I keep hoping that there will be a clue out there that will help me keep my children safer. I stay because I think these kids have a right to have their stories heard, their deaths/injuries mourned, and their killers/abusers mocked and hopefully brought to justice. I stay because I enjoy reading the posts and responses here-- I love how people can find humor in just about anything. I stay because I am a rabid reader-- I read just about anything I can get my hands on.
I am a stay at home mom to two boys. I read off and on throughout the day, and there have been times when a story will keep me up at night, so I sit here reading more. I have no interest in true crime outside of this site. Oh, and did I mention that Swivel posted a picture in a thread of his butt, and decided then and there that any site that had naked ass pictures was a site for me? If it's his ass for real, even better.
 
What brought you here?

Since I'm the curious sort, and we seem to have a growing community here, I'd like to know, what brought you to the dreamin demon? How did you find this wonderful, splendid slightly twisted site? Was it a specific case you googled? Was it just random luck? Did somebody invite you?

I found the site because of the case of Aiden Waller. I couldn't believe that it was real, when I saw it posted on a myspace bulletin, so I googled it, and DD popped up. After months on the front page, I ventured into the forums, where I lurked a little longer, and finally started posting.
 
Just like most of you found your way here, I was following the blog in lurk mode during the Caylee Anthony disappearance. I can't say the Pizza incident brought me here because I was lurking prior to that. With the great influx of newbies, I slipped in under the radar. Made it easier to assimilate.

Now I'm out and about on the forums and absolutely love the people here, differences of opinion and all the dysfunctional stuff that families have.
 
Honestly, I cannot remember what brought me here. I only remember googling someones name, a child murder case, and it brought up this site. I thought the same was strange so I clicked on it, started reading the site and signed up.

I didn't post much, just here and there randomly, mostly on the FP until the Caylee case. Then all hell broke loose, I felt bonded to her and have been addicted ever since.

It's my home away from home, filled with friends and family!!
 
I too Goggled Caylee and ended up here. Been here every since. Some times posting, some times reading and learning, always enjoying!
 
I do work on other websites and happened to be on FUBAR the day Alijah Mullis was murdered by his father. There were numerous bulletins that were up discussing the incident because his mother sat on her ass all day on the site and knew the majority of them. From what I understand, she was actually reporting his death on there before he actually died, so it was no surprise that she was charged with child endangerment later on. Googling Alijah's name brought me here.

I joined the forums after Morbid shut us down on the front page. They gave us the option to join the forums. I eventually did, but no one was really discussing it here, most of the posters from the front page went back to Fubar to talk about it. I think only two or three of us actually stayed here.
 
Alijah James Mullis

I read up on him all day long once I heard about the poor man that came across him and his car seat not too far away. Somehow a story lead me to DD, and I spent the rest of the day and into the night when I got home looking at stories I had no idea about, and crying.

I have checked it almost everyday since then.
 
There used to be a site called Crime Library, it was now taken over by Court TV and hasn't been the same since! (If you go to www.crimelibrary.com, it re-directs you to the Court TV link) I was reading around on there and saw a link to this site one day about 2 years ago. I am on the front page reading and commenting every day for 2 years, I just came over to the forums last year. I am fascinated by true crime and what others like me think of it and the people involved...DD is the best site that offers this kind of material. I don't even visit the in cold blood or any of that anymore. I am addicted to DD and plan to donate $ here as well. Welcome and good to see people coming out of lurking, lol :hello:

p.s. The crime library site now sucks ass, did I mention that? It was just an archive type site, not a forum and comment type thing like this. Just stories and research.

I've posted this on two other threads, not sure anyone cares that I repeat my self so I'll just post the link. But it was baby Benjamin Sargent that brought me here...his terrible, heinous death.

http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=124365&postcount=6

Edit: repost in the event the link is changed.

I found the dreamindemon after searching for additional information on the Benjamin Sargent case. The beautiful child that was raised by monsters until his 5th month of life then allowed to die a terrible, grueling death. So I guess you can say death brought me to dreamindemon.

True crime has always been a fascination and curiosity for me. I have always had a natural...hmm, some might say, an unnatural curiosity about the dark and sinister behaviors I see committed by fellow humans. As a child I would rather watch, "Tales from the Darkside", "Night Gallery", "Twilight Zone" than some Disney movie. Later I really got into true crime shows and books, anything to do with murder and mayhem and the details involving the cases...I was drawn in like a magnet.
Today I watch a lot of True Crime TV shows and Dr. G, CSI's, Criminal Minds....etc.

The cases that really, really bother me most are those regarding the death of a child.
I just don't handle that kind of thing well, hard for me to process violence towards children ...immediately I want the bastard(s) to die for hurting or killing an innocent.
I believe with all my heart children are the "light of life". They are treasures and gifts...and though, occasionally, my own make me want to take up drinking and smoking two things I don't do very well...(damn, and I love mexican martini's so), I love them with all my soul.

Seriously, I adore my children and will kill any bastard that brings harm to them. So, it was a child case that brought me here and those that continues to draw me in. I feel strongly about remembering the victim, especially in cases where the victim is a helpless, innocent child. Admittedly I have those days after readings something so incredibly dark that I just say, no more, not again...I won't go back. But the truth is you can't go anywhere without hearing or reading about something terrible that has happened to a child. So then I return. At least here my my outrage, my utter and complete disillusion for humanity is not censored. I can vent and curse and holler and not be judged simply because my torment runs deep.

I have a mixed bag of emotions, I "feel too much" sometimes, with love and anguish then there are times I find the need to draw my sword, and just kill all the fuckn' evil bastards....

I do consider myself a deeply spiritual person with a side that despairs too much at times. But at the end all that matters to me is that I make a difference somehow, even in the smallest way. Be it a baby that didn't have a name when killed, a child gone missing and forgotten or the girl who's life went all so wrong to find herself dying in a dark ditch alone. I want to remember the names, the faces, not so much the manner of death but the life they should have had or the life they left all too soon.

Besides I'm a fucking addict now....oh, and yes, I'm a stay-home-mama, (past 5 yrs.), and never seem to have enough time on my hands but the time I sneak in for myself you can bet my Katana sword, you can usually find me on the dreamindemon and I make no excuses or apologies for that.

I don't have a decent digital pic of my sword but I found one online...go figure a Texan sling'n a sword and not a shotgun!

This isn't exactly what brought me here, as I was here when it was made...but close enough..and this has been read by our older regulars but this is the Reader's Digest Version.

As for the site:

The Dreamin’ Demon was started over four years ago. It was initially just a forum for members to have religious and political arguments. After 3 1/2 years of little to no traffic and an overall waning interest in the site in it’s current condition, we decided to try and get the site off the ground one last time by starting over. We decided to focus purely on true crime and nothing else.

As for why I like true crime at all:

I have been interested in true crime ever since I was a kid and used to get UFO and Ghost books in the library. But on a beach trip with my parents, I dug through my Mom's stack of paperbacks she had brought along to read while laying out in the sand and found one that looked interesting. 1978's The Amityville Horror. This book contained timelines, diagrams, floorplans and pictures. After that, Fatal Vision and Helter Skelter...the real shit just seemed more fascinating and scary than the fake shit.

But the event that got me interested in true crime on a more personal level was the murder of Chrystal Taylor from Charlotte, NC.

THANK YOU for starting this site. It is more than news - it is intellectually stimulating convo and exchanging of ideas. I love this site.

So glad this is crime and not political/religion...I would have never found it otherwise.

Fatal Vision?! OMFG. Dr. Jeffrey McDonald. My mom was reading this book back in the day and put me on to it. (Scary how moms seems to put us on to the fascinating morbid shit, huh? Alfred Hitchcock, Murder She Wrote, and yes, the TRUE stuff is far more interesting than the fake) I read that story and saw every TV show, movie and anything related to this case. Helter Skelter is another entire thread and topic...but I, like you, became fascinated w/ true crime for the same reasons. It stuns your senses and forces you to look at humanity - or lack of - in the world we live in.

I am going to check out the Christine Taylor issue ASAP. Never heard of it, maybe once I see it it will ring some bells...

I never got that Reader's Digest version before, so thank for that post and THANK YOU again for this site. :congrats:
 
I was an occassional reader of the site since Benjamin Sargeant. I became a frequent reader with the Caylee Anthony case. I was lurking when Peeperann sent the pizza, that was truly awesome! I signed up originally in August I think, but forgot my password, so I had to re-register.

I am just amazed at the amount of sick, murdering, fucks of parents that are in our world!
 
For me it wasn't just one case in particular.....I was just kind of what I call "link cruising" where I was just kind of following links from one website to another,-with no real destination in mind- and I wound up here.

And Y'all have been blessed with my good looks, charming personality, and witty commentary ever since.
 
I started out on Parents Behaving Badly, about the time my daughter was born. When she was roughly six weeks old, there was this story in the news about some mother who swung her baby at her boyfriend/husband like a bat. I don't know how well known the story was, but I couldn't stop reading about it. Anyway, eventually, the people who updated Parents Behaving Badly just stopped. So I think this site was somehow linked off of it. I'd been visiting the front page for a long time before I ever looked at the forums. Finally I wandered back here, and found the thread about Owd Scrat's little boy and decided that you people were just the right amount of pissed off and compassionate, so I joined.
Plus, I love your constant use of the word "fucktard".
 
DD rocks!!

After watching the story about Caylee Anthony on Nancy G. I started looking info up on the web in October. Somehow I found the thread Casey Anthony ....and saw that many shared my "low opinion" of her too.
I can't remember exactly how I found this site, either through another link, Googled it, or by accident???
There's been other cases I've followed and searched on the web, but I never went to any forums for news on certain crime cases that caught my attention.
For some reason, the Caylee Anthony got me to "lurk" around a few other "crime" sites a couple of times, then I found DD!:cheers:
This is the first forum that I've ever posted in, and joined. I registered in October, and finally took the plunge and posted in November soon after PP was created.
This is the best site ever! It is addicting, and has the most awesome group of people you could hope to find:proud2: This is the only site I'll ever need to join.
 
I've been coming to this every day now since October of '08. There was a case fairly close to home that I had been following since it broke out about a little girl who was found dead, and CPS could've prevented it. (Like most cases we hear about here) http://www.dreamindemon.com/2008/09/28/erin-maxwell-was-not-playing-pirates/

It is a case that I am still following and awaiting the trial to start. I've always been fascinated by true crime. This place is the greatest place t find it, and I wish I had found it way before I did. The way everything is written and discussed is beyond brilliance. Plus too, I never would've known the wonder and awesomeness of the word asshat!
 
I have always been curious about crimes and the people that commit them. In addition, I also keep track of child abuse stories, and pedos (better to be safe than sorry). But I have to honestly say that I found this site because of Peeperann. The whole pizza incident thing first made me aware of the Dreamin Demon. When the news stated that the pizza had come from someone in this site, I knew these were the types of people I would love to meet (in cyberspace at least). Then after lurking in the site and reading the many post I was hooked.

I like the regular people on here, especially Athena. While many of us are parents, some tend to think with their hearts (I am guilty of that myself), and emotions. Athena responds with logic and makes us take off the village idiot hats that we sometimes place on our own heads. Sometimes we may disagree, hell half the time we disagree, but I think we all agree that we hate Pedos, and all the monsters that roam our earth.

Although my husband has banned me several times from this site, I sneak in at work and get my daily DD. I think he realized that I will never stop so he has left me alone to read and comment. So there you have it. :hello:
 
Like others have said, I found DD through Caylee and the Peeper Pizza. I have been a source of constant assholeness ever since.

And now I found my twin on DD - who knew?

Who knew DD would one day reunite us!:cheers:
 
I found this site while posting on Bonnie's Blog of Crime (love her). She had this link on her page and I was a lurker for many months as well as some of the rest of you but I think in Dec I started posting on the front page weekly if not daily, and now there is not a day that goes by that I am not on here... I love you guys (yes even Pete) I would have withdrawals if I was not allowed on here.
My youngest one made a comment last night about 'the past year you are obsessed with that devil page', please mom will you let me on there now.
LOL I told her it was not a devil place but was about crimes committed then I let her have the computer.
 
I came here with the influx of people searching for info on little Rowan Ford. Still one of the most horrific cases I can remember. Her stepfather and his friend raped and murdered her, she was only 8 years old. We even had her older sister posting here at DD. I need to find out what happened to those two fuckers, I cant remember if they were sentenced or what....

Athena responds with logic and makes us take off the village idiot hats that we sometimes place on our own heads.

Lol, yeah she has been doing that to me for a while. I want my village idiot hat back Athena!!!!


Rest in peace little Rowan...

I have always been a news junkie..I was actually following a news site about a missing mother who went for a jog..Nancy Cooper..On the sideline of that news story was the Caylee Anthony story..The abusurdity of that case hooked me ..The next day I googled ..I can't remeber if it was Caylee's or casey's name..The first link on the page was DD..I clicked and the rest is history..I didn't know about the forums for a long time but once I found them I never left..DD is my home away from home for sure..Or should I say my home within my home.. :)
 
Random google search on something, it wasn't significant enough for me to remember. I am not hung up on true crime as much as just random news. I certainly am not highly invested in thinking that anyone online or in real life cares all that much about my opinions, nevertheless I have one and am not afraid to share it. I read alittle, seemed like an interesting place to join. This aint my 'first message board'.:proud2:
 
I read the name(Big DD) mentioned on BloodyDisgusting.com, so I took it upon myself to see what the fuss was about. This is my post within 24 hours, granting me access into the damn chat. Hey, Shanaynay.

Caylee brought me here last year in July. I heard a newscaster reporting that the mother had waited 31 days to report Caylee missing and I had to find out why. So I googled it. And the rest is history. I have been here for Caylee since almost the beginning and I will be here after the Judge sentences Casey to death. This is only site I found that kept the updates and information going everyday. I have enjoyed my year lurking and now posting. thank you DD.:hello:
 
I found DD mainly because I was looking for Caylee stuff on another site than the one I was on,.because I was sick to death of Nancy Grace and refused to watch her anymore. And what I found was a new home, because I've always been interested in true crime, serial killers, etc,..
