Ok so this topic has probably been covered before but I TRIED to do a search (cross my heart) and it said the search engine was taken offline....so I apologize for any possible repeat.

Do any of you guys ever wake up and remember your dreams very vividly? Does anybody keep a dream journal?

I think dreams are really interesting and can potentially tell a lot about a person's thoughts, fears, ambitions...I like to visit this one Dream Interpretation site and look up the various symbols from my dreams...see if they mean anything according to others who study dream symbolism.

So does anyone want to share any dreams they had recently? Even if it's just fragments of a remembered dream..it would still be very interesting to me. I'm also wondering if anybody else ever has dreams about people they've never met before?? That kind of dream always really stays with me long after I've woken up because I spend a lot of time trying to figure it out...I can't help but ask myself, "how is it possible to dream of someone I've never seen before?" "Is this person a symbol of another part of my personality trying to come out?" "Is this someone I passed on the street who, for some od reason, stuck in my subconscious only to come out later in my dreams? Why?" hehe I guess perhaps I have too much time on my hands to think about this stuff!

Oh! Also, has anyone ever had a dream and later found out that someone close to you had an eerily similar dream around the same time? Has anyone ever had a premonitory dream? I have had both of these types so I'd be interested in hearing about that too

My most scariest dream was I had a penis and was having sex with a girl. Gives me the chill everytime that dream comes to mine. Giving me the chills right now.

I wonder, does that mean I was a man in my pass life?!

Maybe! I've had a dream like that too but I've never had lesbian tendencies before in waking life. I think those kinds of dreams are just other parts of our personalities coming out. Maybe a curious side or a side that wants to feel more powerful (like the traditional male role)?? Just a thought. I remember waking up, though, and having the heebie jeebies like...*shudder* ewwww....LOL no offense to lesbians, just not my thing. haha It's always possible too that you remembered a past life. I've thought of that as a possibility when I've had dreams featuring people I didn't know, thinking, "hmm maybe that person is someone I knew in another life but just not in this one."

Lately I have been dreaming about my GF. I swear its like every single dream that i've been having. She has also been having many dreams about me. weird ehhhh?

[blushyy]

I had a dream that I woke up and there were flies flying above me, talking to me, arguing whether I was awake or not...

So I talked back to them and replied, "I am awake, you know!"

It was quite weird...

[incyphe]

i guess one of the most unpleasant dreams I had was being trapped in a free falling elevator, and actually hitting the ground, and feeling physical pain in the dream.

Other than that, I use to have recurring dreams of not being able to find a clean toilet to poop on. So I'd spend inordinate amount of time in my dream roaming around town / building looking for clean public toilet. But 100% of the time, they're all nuked or missing doors. And finally, I'd get so stressed out in the dream that I would wake up.

Actually, I finally figured out the cause for the toilet dreams. I had an underwear that seemed to give me a wedgie when I toss and turn on my bed. I guess my brain misinterpreted the sensation of having a wedgie as an urge to take a dump, so it caused me to have these nasty dreams to wake me up to prevent 'accident' on my bed.

I've had the ones where I suddenly fall..and my whole body shakes..O_O

but the COOLEST ONE! was when I used to play CS (counterstrike) till 3 am one time..then I went to bed and I dreamed that..I was in a CS like tournament..*as a soldier >.> in the game* ROFL..except we used paintballs to eliminate people...teeheee..XD..I was a sniper..

wow I sound like such a guy ROFL

Haha.. oh man.. when I used to play WoW a lot I used to have nightmares about causing raid wipes. Now thats pretty lame..

I had one ridiculously scary dream one time. I don't know where I had grounds to create the imagery from this dream as well--it was just .. I don't know. It felt like some kind of aztec thing.. a foyer or courtyard with those tall trees and basically scenary you would imagine from a movie. What was unique about it was a very tall wall of wooden faces that were not quite suitable for the environment. There were no sounds.. no speech--nothing. Just.. seeing this wall gave me a feeling of complete dread--it's hard to describe; not even a sinking feeling in your stomach it just felt evil. I haven't had that dream since but I pray I never experience it again.

As a side note.. have any of you found that you have different dreams but always in the same environments? For example, I have dreams about "school" .. and I swear its like my dreams are a window to another me in another life. Basically everytime I dream these particular dreams I 'remember' the environments, meaning that although the actions, situations and people in the dreams change the layout is always the same. Not only that, but as I get older I find more areas appearing in these dreams.. its like my mind is attaching or unlocking more areas as I go.

Does that happen to anyone else?? I don't even need to have vivid dreams anymore when it comes to these.. I have an excellent memory of the landscape of these dreams because the landscape never changes--and they are NOT the same dream all the time.

[Myss Blewm]

I used to keep a rather lengthy dream journal. I don't know if I can find it anymore.....or if I could post any of them on here (ehehe too embarrassed). I used to think that vivid dreams that we have and are able to remember mean something really important. I don't know now....they could be anything. Things that worry us, random events that have happened recently in which our mind jumbles together in our sleep, anything I guess....

I recently had a disturbing dream that I told to my best friend but I don't know if I want to write it all out. It's difficult to explain, and I don't think I will be able to stop. I write on and on when I remember dreams...my dream journal used to be like five or six pages per entry. But that dream is the first dream I can fully remember in recent memory. For what I believe to be a little under a year now, I've been having difficulty remembering my dreams. This most recent one.....an old lady sitting in a bathtub filled with water was washing my shirt, trying to get a stain out of it. I told her it's okay, that I don't care. Gaaahhhh that part scared me so much because she had really dull and stringy hair and her skin was so pale and wrinkly. She wouldn't let me leave the room she and I were in. Luckily my friend opened the door and demanded I leave with my friend in my dream. That's only part of the dream though.

[Meenuh]

i had a dream quite awhile back like it was the end of the world or something. it was war everywhere and i remember i was sneaking around with a couple of people. i don't really remember who. i was hiding somewhere and someone caught me and pulled me out and slit my wrist. o.o and i could literally feel the blood coming out of my wrist and my life draining away..... and then i woke up. scary mini cooper.

My mom told me those type of dream means your soul left you and is wondering around. Perhaps looking for a toilet like you said haha

I had those dreams before. It's scary and unpleasant. WHY would you leave me soul??! STAY within reach will ye?! A lot of people have died from those type of dreams, in my religion. Their soul just never came back and they stay asleep forever =[ ...

apparently some say that the soul does leave you every night and come back to you before you wake. that's why alotta older generation people tell the teens to take off their make up before they go to sleep or else their souls won't be able to recognize them. heh, i think it's just something to scare them to take off their make up before they sleep though.

i dream every night in sound and colour for a very long time now, i don't really know how real sleep feels like, i just hear the accounts of it being really relaxing and really comfortable and peaceful... i'm still waiting for that day to finally feel the same way.

right when i close my eyes i just dream on it's really bad. i had this one dream where i dreamt that i had good sleep because i wanted it so bad, i only figured out it was a dream of me getting good sleep when i woke up feeling like CRAP. yes.

another dream is when i had a dream in a dream in a dream. i so i was getting chased by one of those hoppity chinese vampires and it cornered me into the bedroom and i had to hold my breath (they can't sense humans when they hold their breaths) but the damn thing just stood there until i couldn't hold it much longer right when i breathed it took a pounce at me! before it got to me i woke up in bed frightened... then i saw the vampire again in front of my bed about to pounce at me again! then i woke up AGAIN only to realize how i was having multiple dreams in a dream.

i also dreamt that i died once, i woke up crying for that one, i saw all my friends and relatives at the cemetary where i was unable to get their attention because i was already dead. out of no where my dead grandmother taps me on the shoulder to congratulate me for being dead in perfect english -- but she doesn't know how to speak english! so i was like "WTF?" after that she took out a giant sharpie marker and started filling in the tombstone with my name and information following and i was just soooo confused to a point where i woke up because i cried too much.

those are just a few that i pulled out of my journal, keeping one also helps me refer back to incidences where i thought i had deja vus or reoccuring dreams i honestly do not like dreaming this much and i don't know how to fix it. i want real good sleep they got to a point where i can feel pain now, and the gravity is much stronger when i free fall... so yeah, if someone is about to shank me in my dream i gotta run, because i'll feel it, but if that ever happens, i can control it i have a skill of telling myself it's just a dream now, and to change the scene when i want to.

LOL dreams are hilarious!

But I hate those dreams where monsters are chasing me and no matter how fast I try to run, no use. The fastest way to escape is to CRAWL in SLOW motion.

And it's really WEIRD how I can control my dreams. As if I was the director or something. Like I'd wake up in the middle of the night (90% asleep), and thought "hmm that was a nice dream. I want to know what happen." SO I'd go back to sleep and dream the ending but I get to end it how I want it. It's weird and I'm confused.

I had a dream maybe a week or so ago that was so realistic I woke up and remembered every detail..it was crazy

I was alone in this dark room in a loft somewhere up high overlooking an old-fashioned city with modern buildings...I want to say I was somewhere in France (never been there but it's a dream ). The big window of the loft was letting moonlight shine in and the shadow of a clock across the street from the loft was slanting across the floor. I was feeling really scared being by myself so I called my cousin over to spend the night with me. She is a lot younger than I am but we have a really close friendly relationship so I felt it would be a comfort to have her around. We stayed up and told ghost stories in the dark...I told her a story about a girl who floated outside the window staring at you with big blank white eyes full of blame. Suddenly I saw a shadow outside the window and the same girl from the story was out there, her big white eyes glaring at me, her finger pointing at me blaming me for some unspoken wrong! It was so scary I went cold and started shaking! Somehow I calmed down and told my cousin we should go to sleep.

When we woke up (still in the dream), I went to the window and looked out and in the distance I could see a large ferris wheel. I got really excited and said to my cousin "let's go to the carnival!" and she agreed. We went downstairs to the street level and walked across the cobblestone streets to a black car. For some reason (this would never happen irl) I let her drive, which was crazy because she's only 14 and has never driven. She was driving all over the street, which was a narrow two-way street leading into the woods. As we entered the woods I noticed that they were beautiful and eerie at the same time...there were tall narrow trees, very straight and bare looking, lining the street and spaced evenly apart...the effect was I felt like I was in the scene of a fairy tale. I took out my Centro and said "I have to videotape this so I don't forget it!" and I started to video the forest as we drove.

Suddenly the forest ended and the road opened up into a clearing...a meadow with a large water fountain near some ruins, some old stone walls that were decrepit and crumbling. We stopped the car and got out to look around. Suddenly a large brown rabbit the size of a toddler jumps out in front of us and starts dancing and twirling with joy. But then a hunter comes from nowhere and rips it apart right in front of us! I was so disturbed and upset I ran away crying, hoping I didn't get that horrible scene on my video. we left the beautiful clearing because it was suddenly so ugly and disturbing and we drove further on towards the center of the city and the carnival. As we got closer, the crowds were thick and we couldn't drive any more so we stepped out to walk. We walked through the crowds towards the entrance of the carnival; the closer we got the more we could hear the carnival music and smell the food stall smells. We were both looking at each other with excitement like two little kids as we were almost to the entrance and then I woke up

While still half-asleep I stumbled into the living room and opened my purse to take my Centro out. I wanted to look at the video I had taken of the beautiful forest and the terrible and beautiful clearing outside it...but then I realized that video never happened..it was part of my dream. I was so heartbroken haha

Man that happens sooooo friggin often... its like you try to run but you know you're not getting anywhere... and it feels like you have to pull yourself along the sidewalk or road or whatever but everything is ridiculously slow..

I think its a disconnect between your muscles being completely lethargic and relaxed as you are sleeping but your consciousness is trying to get your muscles to move.

Kinda like when you take a nap and you're conscious before your body is... and you try to move but your muscles don't respond.

[RE.]

my most freighting recurring dream involves me losing 1 or more pair of teeth...

wake up... ecstatic i still have all my teeth

oh i really don't like those dreams either!
but i hear when you dream about teeth falling out that means you are worried about the way you look too much ^____^;;
once i stopped worrying about it, the teeth falling never came back!

[aquapoppie]

I get video game dreams too, especially Super Mario, lol. I think these dreams happen after I play a game... It's pretty cool, actually. I usually dream that I'm in the game, not as Mario, but I just explore all the worlds and get all the special item stuff.

Few days ago, I dreamed I was being followed by a bunch of swans in a hospital. I was in the 2nd floor hallway, I was walking down the hall. Then I saw a sign that said "Sick Swans" and I opened it. Inside the room there were dozen of swans, they sees me and start coming my way. I start to walk away but they kept following me! I just couldn't get away from them.

Another weird dream I had happened about few years ago, I was inside a really tall living room and the room had nothing except a mattress. The place was really dark and the only source of light was the 3 tall windows and the door. The door is always open but for some reason I didn't leave the place. Plus, there's this guy who i think lives next door, he always bring me fish-balls when he returns in the morning.

There's another dream that I occasionally dreamed about - a really big house located in the middle of nowhere in a small island. There were no people or animals in that island, there's a shallow lake near the house. The bottom of the lake is filled with glass marbles.



I dreamed about this place 3 times already, maybe I had a home like that in my past life~
