What are your dreams usually like?

[Wraywolf]

After reading about the dreams other people have had, I find myself in a state of envy. When I dream, most often, it’s about a totally unremarkable situation in which nothing interesting ever happens. I.e:
I am clipping my nails
I am walking in a store
I am watching TV.
I am fucking WATCHING TV.

What does it mean when you’re totally unremarkable in every respect?

[lordragoon]

You're special; I don't think I could find another person on earth who is 'totally unremarkable in every respect'. Of course, you might just be underestimating yourself. First of all, remembering a dream that seems insignificant displays a great deal of intelligence - the smarter (g value of intellect) you are, the more you remember of a dream, according to the shrinks.

A lot, maybe most, of my dreams are about normal things and normal life. It's supposed to be a sign of good mental health, that one is "in tune." I guess you're just more mentally balanced then the rest of us, Wraywolf.

I don't think anything but if your worried maybe you should get a dream dictionary? A dream dictionary may help by seeing what each little aspect of your pitiful dream means. It may not be so pitiful. I'm sorry if this doesn't help much but this is the best answer I can come up with. See my dreams, if I have them that night, are usually either forgotten by morning or are very messed up.

I am flying with a cow/fish thing and the whole dream revolves around trash cans.

Or a werewolf dream where I'm fucking male werewolves all around town.

Hope that helps somewhat,

That's neat. I usually dream either of very mundane things + werewolves, or extremely far out things. Like, if I'm dreaming of something far out, it's usually of the future and other planets and magic and things.

But if it's the first kind, everything is exceedingly normal; except for the fact that I'm a werewolf. I'm usually just walking down the street or watching tv or something when I remember that I can shift.

I'd say I'm in a boat similar to Wray's (if not the same boat); but I know for a fact that I have pretty poor mental health. So I don't know what that means.

[J.L.R.]

My dreams are usually very dramatic and almost movie-like in style, and while the dream is going on, my mind, as myself, is usually telling the dreaming me, that this situation is not correct and thus needs to be fixed. I'm directing myself. :) A few weeks ago I dreamed I was watching an animated movie about wolves (Should not surpise me since I have been working on a werewolf story since 1998). It was in style with a very Disney atmosphere, and all the wolves were singing this darned song. I couldn't understand what they were singing, but the melody was darn good, in so much, I was able to hum it all the way to work. It sort of had this waltze feeling about it.
Sometimes, when I am under a lot of stress, my dreams can get rather strange.
There is on the occasion that I do sleepwalk. It was a serious problem I had when I was a kid, but nowadays it almost never happens. During this strange cycle, my dream world/ and the world of reality seem to merge. It is both a strange and often scary feeling. The last time I had this happen was December 2000. It was the day after Christmas and I dreamed it was the New Year's. I "woke" up and I heard fireworks, saw that my clock said it was 12:01 am. I got up went downstairs to wish my brother happy New Year, and as soon as I touched the knob. BAM! I was back in the real world. It was December 26 or 27, 2 am in the morning! Freaky can not explain the feeling...

the smarter (g value of intellect) you are, the more you remember of a dream

Dear God then I must be super-smart. There has never been a night in my life where I have not remembered, fully, the dreams I have had. I can still remember, in full (unfortunately grotesque) detail, some dreams from about six to seven years ago.

Anyway, my dreams are the usual "power" type. Playing God (sometimes just The God, other times, a New God Replacement, or God of something (all elements) and such as) and of course guardian, dragon, varying felines, vampire, varying forms of demon, the devil, a new lord of hell, an x-men style mutant, super ninja, even a flippin' Saiyan. And there were some non-power dreams where I played a hero, got killed, on the run for something, a criminal, insane, etc.

My dreams are so much fun. My dreams come in surround sound, better than DVD quality, and full sensory perception (I feel things as if I was there, literally) aka lucid dreaming. And they are better than movies like Matrix trilogy, harry potter, x-men movies or lord of the rings. Trust me I have thought up better ideas than most of the movies out there from my dreams (can I write about them? No, too darn complicated story for my limited writing ability).

I love dreaming.

[War Wolf]

When I have had simple dreams like that, they usually wind up coming true. The whole situation is usually that same. I've had dreams where I am talking to family and waiting for someone to get here and even though sometimes it takes years for it to happen, the dream still happens in some sort of detail.
So I see this as a form of clavoincy. Not to mean that time is immutible, it ain't. I once had a dream about waiting for my brother-in-law to show up, and when he does, he had on a denim jacket. When that situation started, I told my sister that I knew which jacket he was wearing, the denim one. She didn't believe me and she was right. He wasn't wearing a jacket when he came in.
I'm sorry to make this so long and boring, but I thought it was relevent. Hope it helped.

[Wraywolf]

Darkwolf, I hate you.

Darkwolf, I hate you.

What can I say? I have a powerful imagination. :cool:

[DamienMidgard]

I have Nightmares ALOT.. even when I was younger.. now I just feel if I dont have a nightmare I didnt sleep good. Has any one ever died in their dream? people say you cant.. But I did, I was in a fight and I died.. in my dream every thing went black and I can remember saying to myself "so this is death" then I woke up.

[Aquilan]

I usually have linking dreams. You know the ones, right? Ones that will go on for 2 or 3 nights? They are usually quests too.
I like the ones that are in the same "World" as others the best. :)

[Drascorpio]

Many of my dreams involve mythological creatures of some sort. A dream I had a couple of days ago involved a Phoenix. I usually remember dreams that had completed but I usually find i can't remember the ones that where interupted, and they usually happen to be good ones, and the one's i do remember leave me wondering what happens next.

There was this time I had a dream about a werepanther(Black) that talked to me and I could not really talk back cause I was so stuned by the image that I shot blank.

The fact that you can remember a dream has nothing to do with the fact that you smarter or any thing,it just means that somting you saw in the dream you liked and it made an implant in you brain waves that projected it into a mental image.

Same here. Almost always the upcoming day is what I dream, and almost always it comes true. I just dont remember it untill/just befor it happens

[DarkWolf]

Clairvoyancy? No, that's the power of remote viewing: you can see other places in the present.

You mean "precognition" - the power to foretell the future.

[Neowolf]

My drerams have a tendensy to mess with my head in major ways, so I try not to think about them too much.. Same with my meditations sometimes.

[whitethunder]

My dreams are either of people hunting me or one paticular person who seems to always follow me and try to kill me. ( he calls himself a thief) or I'm sent to do something. Others have were's that come searching for me its always the same three for some reason and all kinds insane detail and power that bleeds over into my awaken state. But blalah blah.
now I think I've talked too much :eek: :cool:

Goodbye




Do not stray from that which Fate has determined for you.

My dreams always invole some adventure. Im usually looking for something or trying to do something and they usually involve a girl. Though they may sound like good dreams there is a badside to them. They NEVER make sense. One minute ill be talking to someone and then all of a sudden they become an apple. When i wake up I think to my self "what tha f*ck is up with that" but when im asleep i dont even realize and oddity to it. I know this must mean something but i cant quite figure it out.

[DarkWolf]

I know this must mean something but i cant quite figure it out.It means you had a typical dream. Most dreams are like that on average for everyone. To your usual filtered concious memory they may not make sense, but seeing how dreams are your brain just doing some tidying and throwing out the garbage (what you see in the dream is comprised of images, emotions, etc that your brain doesn't need or is trying to get rid or has some similar, pointless, significance). So they don't make sense because: your brain isn't trying to make something full of coherent thought - it's tidying up.

[Fat Caiman]

Sometimes I don't remember my dreams, but when I do, they're really weird. Like once I had a dream about popcorn coming out of the faucet, another time I was floating in a dentist's chair in outer space and my dentist was an alien. I had a dream once that I was a T.Rex, but I don't think it meant anything. It was probably me just wishing I could be one. :D
