What are your dreams like?

Ever since I can remember all my dreams have been nightmares. I hardly ever dream of anything good. I'm always in a fight, being chased, being stabbed, shot at, my family was in an accident, someone's drowning...last night I dreamt my wife was pregnant (close to full term by the looks of her belly) and a guy tried to rob us...while I fought the guy another one showed up and stabbed my wife in the belly a bunch of times...probably one of the worst dreams I've had in recent memory.

As a teenager I also used to dream that I was talking to someone and all of a sudden all my teeth would start coming loose and I could feel my mouth getting full of teeth, rattling down my throat and blood everywhere. Why can't I just have the normal "walking to school naked" dream like everyone else? =P

For a few years, to counter the nightmares I taught myself to lucid dream and it worked wonders, but I felt I could never achieve a restful sleep state and it would burn way too much energy, so I stopped.

How about you? Do you remember your dreams often? What are they about?

It's always about things I've done and seen the day before. When I dream a lot I don't lose sleep maybe lose more sleep those nights where I wake up with no memory of a dream. I use to have dreams of being at school with no shoes but that was around the time I got made fun of for wearing vans shoes that looked like swimming shoes.

@playmynutz: That seems to be the "normal" way to dream. At first I thought the dreams might come from the movies I watched or the games I played but I'd often spend a month or 2 with no tv or gaming and the dreams wouldn't stop. Plus, if I was dreaming because of the media I consume I'd expect to at least be attacked by a dragon in my dreams by now.

@korvus: your dream about a robbery and pregnant wife sounds like my dream I had that I was being chased by hoodlums because I had a stack of cash in my childhood neighborhood, it was so lucid, I got chased by familiar faces, I jumped a fence and stole a bike, I think I had this dream because a hoodlum owed me money

@playmynutz: I think lucid dreaming kinda ruined it for me after I stopped...my nightmares are so darn realistic...I can even read during dreams or look at a clock and see it moving properly, which is not supposed to happen.

@korvus: I haven't a good a nightmare in a while. Besides those lucid dreams were your dreaming that your in the same bed you fell asleep and can't move or something grabs you. I remember looking at the clock in my room and when I woke up it was close to the same time from my dream lol

@playmynutz: Well, that's impressive but I'm not sure it would be classified as lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when you're perfectly aware that you are dreaming, and after a while you can control your dream. When I did lucid dreaming I could be being chased by a bunch of thugs and I'd think "I don't like this dream..I'm in a beach, it's a sunny day and let's go for broke, I can fly" and all of a sudden I'd be flying around in a beach. (The flying took me a while, for the first few weeks I could only float...everything else would work as intended except the flying...weird)

don't remember my dreams often, when I do there pretty mundane and boring with nothing out of the ordinary happening.

@thehig1: Wanna trade? =D

that's pretty rough, korvus

i dream of sex quite a bit

They are always weird, surreal and nonsensical. I often dream that I'm in some kind of amusement park, however it's no fun at all, there's always a feeling of dread. There's a row of empty swings in a sandy lane in a forest and there are apartment buildings that miss outer walls, so you can look inside. There was a little girl dressed as a white bunny, hiding in some bushes near the apartment building. I entered a parking space underneath the building and saw some people getting on an elevator. After the doors closed there was a strange noise and the fingers of those people came sticking out a drain in the concrete floor.

Things like that.

I have nightmares very rarely, had one about 2 weeks ago, but before that not for ages. I usually dream of random stuff, sometimes even running around school naked. =P
But recently I just dream about that one girl almost every night...jesus, this has to stop.

Dreams of teeth falling out seems to be quite common: http://www.teethfallingoutdream.org/dream-about-teeth-falling-out/

I almost never remember my dream, and I don't think I've had a nightmare in years.

My dream last night was crazy. Like you TC, usually they're bad but it's not the things I dream about...

It's what I say OUT LOUD in my sleep. When I DON'T dream:

Things like: "Please don't pull my guts out." "You'll never CUT me with that glass!" "Stop strangling me."

People have woken me up saying I said all these crazy things or they'll tell me the next day if they've heard it.

I had dreams my high school literally, moving from its foundation, destroying every house in its path, going straight to my house. This happened after I cut class one day. I imagine the school itself pulling right up to the front door, ringing the bell and ask, "Are you coming to class today?"

Nothing strange.

Usually when I dream its nightmares of the world ending, me somehow ending up in fucked up accidents/situation (where I'm free falling to my doom, impaled through the chest by objects, bisected from shoulder blade to hip watching my life bleed away in some sort of freakish Final Destination type accidents), or being betrayed/backstabbed by what I'm assuming are significant others in some form or fashion. Its rare that I have a decent dreams that I wished I never woke up from. Lucky for me, I don't dream often...

Also I can kind of Lucid dream.

Not to the point of being able to control a dream, I always realize I'm dreaming and wake up.

I used to dream often when I was little, now I don't dream anymore.

@nikkycat: I know they don't want you ditching class but damn!

@BiancaDK: More power to you =P Unless of course, you don't want to dream about sex. Stay hard...I mean...strong!

@TheFlush: I'd watch that movie! Make it happen. Also, I heard that other people had the same dream and it's not surprising...what does surprise me is how vivid it is, more like a memory than a dream...makes me shiver. I'm very squeamish about stuff concerning my teeth or my eyes.

@Acillatem1993: Aw..it'll get better!

@deeliman: Bastard...I'm unfriending you =P

@TheHighWind: Oh, I hate those...I would always tell people not to mess with me when I'm like that but one day my father was acting stupid and told my sister "Here, watch this" and put his hands on my neck pretending to strangle me (I was apparently mumbling about being strangled) so I grabbed his arm and broke his nose with a headbutt before waking up...I felt terrible at the time but he was to blame.

@tocool340: Welcome to the messed up club, bro =P

@thehig1: To me that's the best way of doing it...it's amazingly fun to be able to control your dreams, it's like your personal video game, but you won't rest at all and will wake up exhausted.

As a kid, I had a lot of random stuff dreams and some, I can remember. I can't remember if I had any nightmares but when I do, I find myself waking up all sweaty and having a hard time going back to sleep. But now, I rarely dream of anything from my experience as of now, and I'm a hard sleeper.

There's a myth that you can dream the future, has that ever happen to you?

@korvus: Yeah seriously, no building in their path will stop them, they will destroy all for educational justice.

@nikkycat: Wasn't Gandalf on top of the building screaming

@davillain-: Sometimes. Happened a lot when I was a teenager...I'd dream of conversations with my class mates and it would happen word by word a few days later...I think it's a mix of conditioning and my class mates being very dull and predictable =P

I tend to enjoy my dreams, they're usually pretty fun. Lately, however, all I can remember from my dreams are snakes (my biggest fear). I've woken up like five times in the last month because of them, and it had never happened to me before.

I've haven't had to many bad dreams, most of my dreams are in symbols of what's going on with myself or other people and common dreams that are a direct reflection on what's going on in my life...which can be boring at times! And that's the way I like it because I'm a practical thinking person who lives a practical life!

About 50% of my symbolic dreams I have been able to decoded, while the other half make ABSOLUTELY no sense at all.lol I've also had plenty of Deja Vu moments of places I've never been!

I don't dream ever night, but when I do, I look forward to the journey

Usually it's about getting back at people who have wronged me. They are petty dreams.

@korvus: I wish I could lucid dream, but I immediately wake up as soon as I get suspicious to the fact I'm dreaming.

I have not had a nightmare since I was a kid. My dreams are erratic, sometimes I don't dream at all sometimes I dream a lot. My dreams are usually of random things often creations of my imagination.

@korvus: But unlike you, I won't lose sleep over it ;)

I can only remember bits and pieces of a dream; each and every damn time.

Ive been having alot of "real" dreams recently.

like ill dream of something that could happen in real life. when i wake up i have trouble figuring out if it really happened or if it was just a dream.

I have fucked up dreams that involve a lot of death and mutilation.

My dreams are....nightmare...you know ....aside from sleep paralyses that i usually get, i dream about horrible stuff like seeing someone hanging himself .... but sometimes i dream about the girl i'm in love with ....it's just ... wonderful .... due to many reasons i can't be with her ...but it's just great having a dream like that ....hope one day i get to live this dream ...but life is more cruel than fair....shit... i'm messed up!

Now that you mention it, in my dream last night I found myself in a bathroom with a toilet full of shit, I mean literally a toilet full of shit, I wanted to take a pee but there was nearly no empty space among the huge pieces of shit for my pee. And I almost vomited due to the stink. Weird dream.

What do you think it means?

Not a clue. And it doesn't have to have a meaning. But if It does, I don't expect it to be anything good :P

It means you're in a shitty world.

Well I already knew that, my meta-physical duplicate didn't have to wreck a good night's sleep to remind me that :P

Hamid can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

@mjorh: Age ye ruzi un royat be vagheiat tabdil shod, behem begu! ghol bede!

What about dreams/nightmares that you wake up from contact?

Hatman ! Will let the whole world know when i actually get to live my dream :) ...I'd rather go with "expect the best prepare for the worst " for now ...

What do u mean by "from contact" ?

@mjorh:

There are dreams where in it I get attack by a dog or something and it instantly wakes me up. It feels like something did actually touch me.

My dreams are just weird. There's this commercial area that keeps reappearing in my dreams, centered around a 'small' mall with a footprint about the size of a Super Wal-Mart but packed high with countless stores and numerous food courts. The reason I'm there is never the same. Last night I dreamed that I was there to do some grocery shopping and brought groceries from my house so I could figure out what was needed. Then the lights went out except the emergency lights so I started shopping with a flashlight.

Then I got worried they would charge me for the stuff I brought from home.

Yeah that what i assumed .

It happens a lot to me, i even feel the contact after waking up ...

Maybe it's because I easily accept a lot of the weird shit my brain throws at me, but fiction and real life tend to blend a lot in my dreams.

They can go in literally any direction, so they tend to make very little sense and it does become difficult to recall the overall direction of the dream (because they're so incomprehensible).

I also tend to argue a lot in my dreams. I not really sure what that might say about me...

I don't I sleep much but when I do I mostly dream about things that I'm doing during the day or things that I really want to have , it may sounds stupid but last night I dreamt of playing witcher 3 with VR

@mjorh: "i even feel the contact after waking up ..."

Exactly.

@br0kenrabbit: "Then the lights went out except the emergency lights so I started shopping with a flashlight."
