Do you remember your dreams?

[mvd]

Usually I do if I think about them. I have a lot of anxiety dreams that usually aren't bad nightmares, but can be very memorable.

[reyd reid reed]

1. I almost never do

and, on the rare occasion that I can remember them when I first wake up, even that's gone by the time I finish my first cup of coffee.

There are rare exceptions, though. Like dreams involving little elf-like men who play with peas...

[mvd]

2. My dad is the same way

Almost never. I have seen topics on dreams, but don't remember ones like this, so I thought I'd do a study.

[Redstone]

7. "Little elf-like men who play with peas..." I'm missing an inside joke here, yes?

Wouldn't be the first time.

Redstone

[reyd reid reed]

32. Heee

Nope. When I was little, I'd eat just about anything...but I hated peas with a passion. One night, I dreamed that these little men about the size of my thumb (and I think I was about six at the time) climbed up on the table and were playing with my peas. Bouncing 'em off the plate...off the silverware...off the table...

And you can't eat peas that little elf-men have been playing with, can you?

For some reason, that dream's stuck with me for forty years.

And I still don't like peas (I'll eat 'em now, though).

[Broken_Hero]

3. yes, almost always.....

my last weird one, was really effing weird...made my wife chuckle in amazement.

[mvd]

4. Hi, petersond

Even at age 30, I still have school-related anxiety dreams! I'm often younger in my dreams, too.

[Broken_Hero]

8. Same here

one of my most recurring High School dreams is, is that I find out I missed a class, and that all of us have to go back to HS to complete some bs history course(or whatever)...and my whole class goes back to school...

A good number of my fight dreams are HS related also...most of the time, they occur in my Junior locker room hallway...which is weird, cause I don't recall fighting in that hall way at all, IRL.

[mvd]

25. In my school dreams, I often am about to graduate and..

remember something I didn't do for a class. Like not completing the class or something. I'm at a transition period in my life, so maybe subconsciously I think I'm stuck, so this is how it comes out. I really have to work on having happier dreams.

[redwitch]

58. My stress dream:

It is the last day of class and I remember that I enrolled in two colleges-and forgot to go to one at all. So I am running up and down the halls begging professors to give me an incomplete. Always wake up with a pounding heart.

[Art_from_Ark]

13. I've had those at 40

It's always the same-- I realize I've been skipping a class (invariably an English class) for the whole semester/year, then realize it's the day of the final test and I don't even know where the classroom is.

[Broken_Hero]

17. those dreams in particular

are ten years after we graduated, and we get all our diploma's suspended...because of a class, that we, as a class missed...so all of us, in our late 20's/early 30's, have to go back to HS....:D

[Broken_Hero]

18. btw ,what part of AR do you hail from? nt

[Art_from_Ark]

19. NW Ark, up near your neck of the woods

[Broken_Hero]

20. ah, nw arkansas...:)

yep, not to far away...:D Do you miss nw arkansas, or are you glad you escaped walmartville usa?

[Art_from_Ark]

22. Both, actually

I still have kinfolk in Walmartville, and I always have a good time whenever I'm able to make it back, but it ain't the place I grew up in, that's fer sure.

[Broken_Hero]

23. the area has boomed

that much is for certain...I've only been in the area for 4yrs or so, and it grows, and grows...they are spreading northward into SW Missouri too...one of these days, we are going to be part of walmartville!...:D

[Art_from_Ark]

24. If they ever finish that Interstate

all your base *will* belong to Walmartville

[Broken_Hero]

26. most of it does...

highway 71 is taking ages to be completed....besides, my county is either, Tyson, Simmons, or Walmart...not many choices! Tyson/Simmons doesn't do much, except pollute our ground water, so WM is the lesser of three evils...:evilgrin:

[Art_from_Ark]

29. I remember when they were making 71 a bypass-type

limited access highway from Carthage or thereabouts to KC back in the early '70s. Of course, back in those days Wal-Mart was still mostly a mom-and-pop operation

[Broken_Hero]

30. What they are trying to do now

is make it a toll highway from Joplin through NW Arkansas, through Little Rock...its going to be right next to the current 71 now...I don't know about the toll road thing, I really detest that option they are trying to push through, but as long as it gets done, and those semi's start using it...I'll feel a lot better...my wife drives that hellish highway every day, and a lot of those drivers are batshit insane.

[Art_from_Ark]

31. A lot of those drivers that use the new Interstate are batshit insane, too

especially from Lowell down to the Fayetteville Bypass

[Broken_Hero]

33. ha, I think it starts in

Bella Vista...the old folks home, of NW Arkansas...a lot of those drivers...man, if I had a nickel for each time my wife gripes about Ar drivers, I'd be a rich man....:D

[Art_from_Ark]

36. In all fairness, though,

most of those drivers probably aren't from Arkansas, even if their cars have Arkansas tags

[Broken_Hero]

37. ha, I knew you were going to say that...:)

Yeah, yeah...:D


:hide:

[Art_from_Ark]

38. That reminds me of a dream I had

I suddenly realized that I had to hightail it to Fayetteville to take a final English exam at the U of A, so I got in my '74 Pinto and was heading down the highway when some gal with Missouri tags nearly ran me off the road :D

[Broken_Hero]

39. Yeah, and I bet your U of A professor bought that excuse!!!

:rofl:


:hide:

btw, what was your grade! :D

[Art_from_Ark]

40. The results vary from dream to dream

Sometimes the professor says "No problemo", and sometimes he says "Ha Ha! You flunk!"

But the gal who nearly runs me off the road is always the same. If you give me a description of your lady, I'll tell you if she's the one in my dream :D

[Broken_Hero]

41. Hey now...

if you are going through this dream in the mid 70's, its definately not my woman! :D

[Art_from_Ark]

42. I said it was a '74 Pinto

I didn't say anything about it being *new* :D

That old Pinto was the second worst car I ever owned. Maybe that's why I'm stuck with it in the dream trying to get to Fayetteberg. :D

[Broken_Hero]

43. oh, thats right...sorry, :)

speaking on dreams, my wife always has car wreck dreams of being hit/killed by a HUGE red truck....and a coincidence, in 05, she was hit by a red ford f-150, in Bentonville, IRL. She has this dream from time to time....

[Art_from_Ark]

44. Bentonville, eh?

Did the wreck happen along Sam Walton Blvd., or 102? The two most likely places in B'ville to get smacked. Especially by drivers of red Ford F-150s.

That was pretty weird about your wife's dreams, though. I hope nothing more comes of them.

[Broken_Hero]

45. hmm, it was on Sam Walton Blvd, and ...

hmm...502?...damn, I cannot remember the crossing street...it was near the accounting annex, near the fitness center.

[Art_from_Ark]

46. There's Highway 72, and a couple of miles down the road there's 102

But I don't know about the buildings in the area, since they pop up faster than I can keep track of them.

[Broken_Hero]

47. it was a name, plus a number

it starts with a W i think....man, I can't remember it for the life of me, and I don't want to wake my wife, to find out what street it was...:D

[Broken_Hero]

48. ha, it was Moberly...that was the cross st...

I had to look it up!

[Art_from_Ark]

49. Moberly Lane?

Sounds like it was on 102 then.

Anyway, I've had a lot of fun, but I've got to get ready for the long trip home from work now (not Arkansas-- Metro Tokyo, Japan). Catch you later :hi:

[Broken_Hero]

50. later, nice talking with you

yeah, 102/Moberly...I knew the street had two major names it went by, I'm not to familiar with Bentonville, I get lost half the time! :D later, :hi:

[Monk06]

51. That's creepy. Word for word it's the same dream I've been having....

for several years. I'm at a new school and for some
reason I don't attend class and forget my homeroom and
the classroom numbers of my courses. In one dream I go
to the main office to find out my class schedule but it's
too late because the class is months ahead of me.

[Redstone]

5. People remember their dreams when they wake up in the middle of them.

Don't know if you knew that.

That's why I do the snooze-alarm bit for half an hour in the morning; it gives me four or five dreams to remember.

Redstone

[mvd]

6. Interesting - thanks

I wonder why that is?

[Redstone]

9. There are lots of studies, if you want to do the research. Almost all of the dream studies

have set up so that when the subject is dreaming (as evidenced by REM sleep), a telephone next to their bed rings. The subject wakes up (more or less) and describes his or her dream into the phone.

Things may be different today, but that's how dream studies used to be conducted. (I participated in one of them as a subject, that's how I know.)

[ThaSickness1979]

11. Yeah same here

I can still remember a few dreams I had when I was a kid though that scared the shit out of me. Like one where a tornado with a sort of nuclear apocalypse was happening. Still gives me the willies when I think about it to this day.

[mvd]

27. I have had the occasional tornado dream, and sometimes..

a ghost dream. I guess listening to Coast To Coast AM doesn't help, but I keep listening because it can be so interesting.

[reyd reid reed]

35. I hit the snooze alarm

but it's not because of the dreams...it's because it's nice and warm and I just don't wanna get up.

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Usually.

Apparently vitamin B6 helps in the recalling and vividness of dreams, if anyone's interested in that stuff.

[idgiehkt]

12. I voted almost never, but allow me to post one I did actually remember

LOL. I had this a few nights ago and it was incredibly vivid. I was working in a hospital where there was all kinds of chaos; babies being born, psych patients freaking out, messes everywhere, etc. People were buzzing around taking care of things like on tv. My shift ended and it was time for me to leave. I started walking off of the grounds and noticed off in the distance something I'd never seen before. As I walked closer the ground started to decline and I realized that I could see all kinds of beautiful plants and flowers down below. It was a beautiful valley, kind of like a garden of Eden; it just took my breath away because I felt I had been looking for such a place my whole life. I started to walk down into this beautifully manicured garden and I noticed something. There had been background music playing at the hospital but I hadn't paid much attention. However as I walked down further into the valley, the louder and louder it got. My spirits were starting to sink because I realized how loud it was getting the closer I got to where the beautiful flowers and plants were. Even though they and the lawn were beautifully manicured, by the time I got to where I was standing in the middle of the valley, the sound was deafening. I looked up, and there were three loudspeakers right beside each other, just blaring the music and commercials (not good music, either). The looked like those giant satellite dishes, but they were speakers. And I noticed something else; there was not a single creature to be found in that valley. No birds, no butterflies, no squirrels, no insects. Nothing. The sound had driven everything out, the garden was totally empty, save for the beautiful plants, which as far as I knew were real, but they may have been fake. And then I noticed something else as I stood there being throttled by sound, that there was a very, very sick feeling in this garden, something remotely sinister. It was a feeling that was growing by the minute. I had a bunch of emotions rush over me at that moment, but the strongest was that I thought I'd found what I was looking for my whole life, in this garden, that appeared so beautiful from the outside, but at that moment I had to accept that it was not at all what it appeared, but was in fact a very, very sick and empty place. When I let myself feel the full force of my disappointment, I knew I would have to leave, or the sound would drive me crazy. When I finally gave up on the dream of this garden, and turned to leave and walk out of the valley, I woke up.

[driver8]

14. I remember dreams I had ten years ago!

I'm weird, I know.

[Art_from_Ark]

21. I still remember one I had at 3 or 4

There was a half of a huge palpitating heart on the horizon, making a horrible beating sound. Scared the crap out of me.

[Nicole]

15. Almost never n/t

[Omphaloskepsis]

16. Most of my dreams are lucid.

And all of them are really fucked up. Not a big fan of dreaming.

[mvd]

28. Just think..

the worst dream is waking up and realizing Bush is still President!

[Ariana Celeste]

34. most of the time

many of them are too odd to forget

[mvd]

52. Mine can definitely be real hodgepodges of stuff

Everyone have a good weekend, with sweet dreams! :hi:

[Pithlet]

53. Almost always, but the memory usually fades

I can remember some dreams I had years ago, though. My dreams are usually very weird, too. Not bad or scary, just weird.

[Left Is Write]

54. Often. More often than not.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

55. I usually do. My dreams are seriously dumb.

They're not good, and they're not bad. They could be scenes from real life, they're so boring and realistic, but there's usually one or two things "wrong" with them. Sometimes my dreams are semi-lucid, but not always. They're never fully lucid.

On vacation during the summer, I dream every single night. I don't usually dream (or at least, remember any dreams) during the rest of the year.

I think I dream in color. I dreamt with SMELL once (that was fucked up and semi-erotic :crazy:). Once in a dream I was flying with my weirdo science teacher, in one of those Cesna planes, and the window was open and it was raining and rain was falling on my face, which I felt in my dream. Usually when that happens it's because something is actually hitting the dreamer in real life, but when I woke up, nothing was happening.

Just last night, after stressing out over an English essay, I dreamt that I got a 65 in English for the quarter because I did something wrong on this particular essay. My teacher was REALLY mad at me, and it was just weird and kind of freaky.

Oh, and when I really dream I wake up several times in the night, as if the dream is getting too personal to handle or something, but when I fall back asleep the dream just picks right up where it left off.

I hate dreaming usually--it's so stupid, and I don't like how it makes the night go on forever and ever. I like to fall asleep and then, the next thing I know, be geting up for the day. It's much better for me that way.

:wtf:

[femmocrat]

56. Not only do I remember them, I can go back to sleep and continue where they left off.

Plus I have other dreams that are like sequels to previous dreams. There recurring characters, settings, etc. I must be a frustrated writer at heart.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

57. I do the same exact fucking thing.

:)

[femmocrat]

60. Do you ever write about your dreams?

[Nikia]

59. Over half the time, I remember the one I have right before I wake up

Since we supposedly dream all night, I won't say that I remember most of my dreams.
Unfortunately, I have been having a lot of dreams about work lately including one about the place blowing up.
