Poll: Dreams. Have 'em?

[Your Nightmare]

My dreams always seem to involve groups of people. Last night, we were all at this camp, and I woke up (at the camp) and everyone was packed and ready to leave. As soon as I got ready I noticed I couldn't find my trousers.. Me and a guy (with a kid) were looking around, and I seem to remember grabbing poles and stuff and just pulling myself up (like loads of wooden balconies)

This ended up in a room which was like a history museum and we were all looking around, then we was all running looking for my trousers and then I fell of a broken floor and fell on my back and .. then the kid fell and that was it..

I don't even get most of my dreams..I always seem to remember them but they make no sense..
But a lot of the time they seem to be school related.

-Sorry if my description made no sense, but neither do my dreams so win win

It's hard to say for me... My choice isn't up there.

I dream a lot. Not every night, like every 2nd or 3rd night I'll have a dream I remember. They're usually very vivid, I can remember specific moments, and they're also very bizarre. I mean things happening in them that make no sense whatsoever.

But yes, I dream a lot, and I really enjoy my dreams. Even the scary ones. It's a nice break into a strange and weird world that really intrigues me.

If you are like "Meh, dreams" Then you are more likely forget them because you don't focus on them.
If you are like "OMG, DREAMS " Then you are more likely to remember because you are more interested and focused on your dreams.

Bloody Dusclops...

And don't try to get out of your dream! That's such a waste of a good opportunity. Well, unless things are getting a bit too freaky...

Normally I might only remember my dreams once every few months, but the past week I've been remembering at least one every night, very vividly too.


I came so close to becoming lucid last night too! I was just standing there (in my dream) when I suddenly thought to myself "Hold on a minute, I'm dreaming here!". So I started pinching and slapping myself, but I guess my brain tricked me or something because I thought I felt pain...


... And then I woke up. I was dreaming! Damn, I was annoyed by that.

OK, that's coming close to blowing my mind. I think if I become cognizant of the weird shit I've been dreaming about mid-dream...the universe would break or something. Probably not.

No no no, being aware that you're dreaming is a wonderful thing, because then you can learn to control your dreams!

It's called Lucid Dreaming [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream]. Imagine being able to do whatever you want, and with no consequences! Awesome stuff.


That's why I was annoyed when I woke up.

I hate when you wake up after that. One thing that I notice is when I start to realize that it is a dream, I tend to wake up pretty soon after that. Don't know if its just the "Oh fuck, this IS a dream!" that startles me out of the dream or what, but it seems like they only last 5 minutes at most after that.

Yeah, if you get too excited once realizing you're dreaming it can actually wake you up. Although apparently spinning yourself around (in your dream) can prolong the dream... or something like that.

Well I guess I have a goal for when that happens next. Let you know if it works!

I dreamed that i bumped my knee at my school desk and i woke up at my dining room table with extreme pain in my knee.

Every other night or so. Last nights involved some blood, gore and death, I know that much. It's usually subconscious thoughts. They're always really odd and I sleep talk too.

Haha I once dreamt about Yahtzee! I'd just given birth, like you do, and then I lost my baby so my dad was helping me find it. We were on a boat of some kind and then we both got distracted by Yahtzee doing some form of stand up show. I think it was actually a Frankie Boyle/Yahtzee hybrid.

Yep, that's pretty much the sort of thing that happens in my head most nights.

So...you have a secret Yathzee-fetish? He'd be so touched.

so you're suggesting he has emotions besides fast-paced anger? PREPOSTEROUS!


my dreams are strange, but don't tend to linger. sad, because I've learned most of lifes lessons from a dormant state.

I used to dream about Velociraptors from Jurassic Park. Haven't dreamt of Raptors since I had that dream where I negotiated with them and gave them superpowers with THE POWER OF FAN-FICTION if they would spare me. They delivered and I rode on one, then I woke up finding myself out of Jurassic Park and in my boring old room.

A weird dream I had was where Haruhi Suzumiya forced me to wear a girl's sailor uniform in front of my parents while she laughed at me. I dunno what to make of that.
