Do you remember your dreams?

[Gutter92]

Just a random question I thought of. Last night I was lying in bed with my friend and I asked him if he remembers his dreams. He said he cannot remember any dreams the following morning; I remember some of my dreams in the morning, but definitely not all of them. What determines if you'll remember your dreams, and is there any "exercise" you can do to remember more?

[clambake]

if you wake up next to a guy, you would probably not want to remember.

[tlongII]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It is hard to tell which dreams you will remember and which ones you will forget. If you are high you typically have more intense dreams.

Err, it may be more of a "dream come true" for the OP, hence wanting to remember it ;)

[IronMexican]

I remember my dreams about 4 or 5 times a year.

[Gutter92]

rofl no. We weren't lying in the same bed...lmao, I called him @ ~ midnight and we talked for a while. He was in his own bed, god some people...

Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.

You SURE you wanna pursue this English Major?

[clambake]

[Slydragon]

I wish I could have lucid dreams.....where I'm aware I'm dreaming and control them.....fly, have any chick you want.....or in your case you male friend could be there, Is the op Richard Jefferson and did you call Luke?

ive been taking alot of nyquil lately...

first dream i had was i had to fight scorpian in mortal combat. his stinger literally shot through my hand and there was blood everywhere. so i wrapped his stinger around his head and cut his head off. i swear i could feel the whole thing.

the next night i took some more nyquil...i was excavating a ship on the bottom of the ocean off the tip of africa...and had my foot bitten off by a great white. again, i swore i could feel it.

So..what's wrong about calling a male friend before bed?

Well, if it is a "random" question, then I would be remiss if I did not answer. :eyebrows

I remember a fair amount of them. I have always been something of a light sleeper, and can even remember being able to influence them to some degree. My favorite dreams are where I can will myself to fly.

I think the brain is designed to forget most dreams.

BUT

You can keep a "dream journal" to write them down when you wake up. That is probably the most fool-proof way to remember them.

that's the gayest shit I've ever heard. What the hell could 2 guys wanna talk about on the phone unless they're middle aged and haven't seen each other in forever. Sure sometimes I'll think of something interesting that I'll wanna tell a friend but I'll just text them that one thing. But then again, maybe you and this friend have something "special"

[z0sa]

I remember most of my dreams - I am a lucid dreamer. I can generally control the environment and fly at will. Not always though. The occasional nightmare I tend to have trouble exerting influence, and other random times.

:lmao @ this thread

[TDMVPDPOY]

do you guys ever get repeated dreams even when they were long time ago and suddenly reappears a few years later, then again a few years later....

[KapitanTutan]

:lmao @ this thread

yep this thread went somewhere else :lmao

[Chachachango]

I dreamed that I was dreaming dreams that dealt about dreaming dreams about dreaming. But i dont remember.

I had a recurring drowning dream for years, but it's been awhile since I've had it. It was awful. I would actually hold my breath until I couldn't anymore and breathe in the water. Then when I took a breath, I'd wake up, because it was really air.

The dreams I tend to remember are things that are either terribly disturbing or terribly embarrassing.

And props on the troll job, I like the way you just slipped it in there about the other dude. Nice.

[The Reckoning]

i used to have a reoccuring dream when i was a little kid (like 5 years old) that a witch needed a boy for a sacrifice. of course my friends chose me, so she'd take me away and that was the end of it.

little did i know that was the story of my life. my friends suck.

:depressed

[Blackjack]

I've had an ongoing dream/theme going on for years. It's not something like drowning or flying, it's more like an alternate world -- a lot of shit that makes no sense in real life but somehow seems commonplace in dream. Like, "Of course that's what would happen. It's just the way things are."

But the way things are in my dream rarely have anything to do with reality. I wish I could give you an example, but I usually only realize the connection for a brief period of time and don't write down or try to document all that goes on afterwards. But I do know I've somehow created an alternate world in my dreams where rules and consequence are broken or altered.

I'm not right, tbh. Not that anyone here needed to be told . . .

I think they are called Lucid dreams that I have. But I'm in a state where my mind feels awake and I can see, but my body is still asleep. I have had them a couple of times where its to the point I know that I will wake up soon, so I don't freak out anymore. But a few times, I have seen shadowy figures by my bed, heard crazy laughter and I feel like I'm being held down. Scary stuff. My dad says he get these, so he must have passed it down to me.

wet dreams ftw

it's called sleep paralysis.

my roommate used to have that problem when he'd take naps and id be watching tv. he'd try to call out my name but couldn't...and then he'd wakeup and start freaking out and run out of the room :lol.

[spursfan09]

That's right! it is sleep paralysis. :lol you're poor friend. Did he ever get the feeling of just plain evil, that's what it felt like.

[The Reckoning]

yeah he felt like he was suffocating and there was some malevolent force keeping him from communicating with me lol. also, rooming in a 200 year old monestary with gothic shit everywhere didnt help very much either :lol.

[lefty]

I had sleep paralysis last night

It felt like someone was pressuring his finger on my back, and everytime I tried to wake up, I heard a "groooomph!!!! " :lol


And a few nights ago, I had an Alien abduction dream :spless:

It felt like someone holding my arm down on my chest and when I would try to move it I'd hear a grunt or a growl. So that's crazy how people all have the same expierences pretty much.

[spursfan09]

Never had the alien abduction dream though.

[spursfan09]

Oh and another recurring a dream I have is a Spider coming down from the cieling on to me while in bed. Or I'll wake up and there's a huge spider in front of my face. That gets me out of bed. Then I'll turn on the light and start looking for it.

That kind of stuff happens to me if I had had a heavy dinner beforehand (usually)


Never had the alien abduction dream though.

It was weird

It wasnt a full dream; there was a succession of 2-3 seconds unrelated sequences, and one of them was me lying on a surgery table, 3 aliens looking at me and the closest one leaning towards me.
That dream would have made sense had I watched or read something about aliens/UFOs before going to bed, but it wasnt the case

[Don Draper]

One time I had a dream that I was extremely rich, handsome, and could have any woman I wanted. Then I realized I wasn't dreaming.

[TDMVPDPOY]

do you guys still have dreams from ur first home u lived in as a child....


oh when u dream of it, then it occurs in real life ...im not talkin about lottery numbers bullshit

Well that explains alien abduction stories then...

Not only do I remember most dreams when I wake up, I can think of something before I go to bed and dream about it, and recall the entire dream the next morning.

Its actually rare for me to not remember a dream. To me, not remembering a dream when I wake up is like the feeling you get when you are thinking of something that you KNOW but for the life of you cant name it or describe it.

[phyzik]

That happens to me ALOT actually. The one instance I remember the most is when I was about 16 my family went to Vegas. A few weeks prior I dreamed about going and in the dream there was a condemned building on a corner, we turned the corner and on the doorway it was spray painted "no fat chics alowed". Sure enough, when we went, I saw the same exact building with the same writing and pointed it out to my father and brother who I had told about the dream. They where unnerved to say the least.

It's not like I can see/predict the future though.... I have these dreams and think nothing of it until the event actually happens. Sometimes years later. they are not tied to significant events or anything like that. Its a really weird feeling when that happens.

Im not talking De Ja Vu either.... I have experienced De Ja Vu, as most people have, these are events that I REMEMBER dreaming about and on occasion have TOLD people about that dream before the event happens and they have been there to see it.
