Are you dreaming?

[Mr. Ejuice]

I've been having a little trouble sleeping tonight, and it turns out I've been spending quite a bit of time pondering over dreams. There's been countless professionals theorizing about dreams for hundreds of years, but all we really know about them (well, all I really know about them) is they're discrepancies in REM sleep that manifest themselves as images, usually familiar, commonly bizarre, that apparently only last a few seconds but can seem to drag on for hours.

I suppose I'm just trying to broaden my view to other people's interpretations of dreams. I have friends who can read so far into dreams it's almost scary (ex. I had a dream I was on the moon and I ran out of oxygen and was dying of hypoxia. She told me I was feeling, since I had recently moved and started a new course in school, like I was feeling suffocated by my studies in a strange environment, and I should take weekend trips back to my hometown more often), and other friends yet who mostly ignore their dreams and brush them off as just that night's stage act.

What do you think of your dreams? What do you dream about? Do you try to extract anything from your dreams? Do you even remember your dreams, because I usually don't and I'm starting to feel left out. I'd like to hear your opinions nonetheless. Thanks.

I can hardly remember any dreams at all and I'm not sure whether they really do mean something. They could be just pointless brain activities during sleep.

I hardly ever remember my dreams.
The ones I do are... strange to say the least. Either that, or so terrifying I actually do the whole sit bolt upright drenched in cold sweat. Which is really disgusting and uncomfortable.

I don't try to extract things from my dreams, they're too surreal to have any true meaning. Any ones that do make sense are old memories or something I wish might happen.

I keep dreaming that my teeth are either crumbling or falling out. Apparently that means that I'm lying about something (NO!) or I'm feeling anxiety about something. All I know for sure is that they are very unpleasant and I keep waking up and running my tongue over my teeth to check that they're still all there. Blech!

I can't remember my dreams which is convenient, my life is insane enough as it is.

Some people have wet dreams... I have PS3 dreams. Most heart breaking dreams ever. I open the box, set it up, turn it on and wake up. Its really horrible.

Dreams do certainly seem to have a link to outside influences and events. Even if they are indicative of some issue in my life, I will usually just brush them off because I don't see the significance in the realization of something that, when a little self meditation is spent, I know.

I dream constantly. It's one of my favourite things in life. They're almost always vivid and a number of them I remember as well, although I miss out certain parts even if I can remember the whole.

I did, but a few friend of mine help relise the error of my ways and I stopped having them It was quit nice. The other thing is if you have trouble remembering them, keep a notebook and pen by your bed. Then write down everything

Dreams are garble, entertaining garble, but garble.
