Dreams

[The Lounge Lizard]

I expect most people have dreams but I don't really know. I have what is best described as dream cycles where I dream up to five times a night for a week or so then none for the next week or so.

My dreams are like mini movies, I'm not aware of how long they go for in real time but it feels like some are half an hour or longer.

Forget the so called dream interpreters. The ones that say a certain person, animal or whatever, in your dreams signifies some type of meaning. Sorry, but no.

Recently, I've had a recurring theme in my dreams, this is, staying in a dormitory style accommodation with friends and strangers alike. On the day of leaving, I'm the last to leave and find the sleeping quarters a total mess and I feel a need to clean it up. That results in me missing the flight with the others. There are variations on this theme.

What's your views on dreams? I quite enjoy them.

They reckon everyone dreams seven times per night.

Maybe.

For me, I go to sleep, and the next thing I know, my alarm's going off. I'm out like a light and rarely remember a thing from the moment when I fall asleep.

I'm the opposite to you. I'm a heavy sleeper but definitely have multiple dreams most nights. Most of them are meaningless/mundane. The 7 dreams per night figure hardly surprises me. I reckon I've definitely met that quota many times...

I've always thought that for people who might suffer life-changing injuries etc, having dreams where they have their full, former life faculties, must make life really tough. Take someone who may have had an accident and ended up paralysed and in a wheelchair, in the aftermath, if you're having a dream and you are not paralysed in your dream, when they then wake up to their new reality, that must take a mental toll... As in, some dreams are so vivid they can almost seem like reality... To wake up after such a dream and be jolted back to your new physically-limited life would be depressing I imagine...

My dreams usually have some true aspects, such as past events, interspersed with a fantasy side.

Its funny, i can go weeks or months and not dream ( or if i do i have no memory of them ) then go for long periods where i do dream and can at least remember them when i wake up, i have usually forgotten them by the time i get up but others i can remember for ages afterwards , i know last night i had three different dreams but cannot remember what they were about.

A couple of nights ago i had a dream that was related to this site, Perth Red and Space Monkey were in it , even though i have never met them before or know what they look like, Perth red was quite a jolly chap in my dream, Ruby Roundhouse was also in the dream later but not in physical form, i saw a nice pair of bright red shoes and i said to my better half oh Ruby Roundhouse would love those, i must get them for Ruby.

I have had two recurring dreams three times in my life, they have happened many many years apart and and can always remember the exact time i had them in my life before hand but can't remember anything about them now but when it happens i can pin point back to the exact date, strange but that's how it happens, there have been a couple of times i have the same dreams twice in my life and can go back to the first time i had them, maybe they will come up again some time.

I've only had one recurring dream twice that I remember and that was at Elouera at Cronulla.

I was lying on beach towel when I started flicking through the sand. Found one 20c piece and continued finding more until the towel was covered in 20c pieces. I wrapped it up and lugged it up the hill to my car. I recall it was damn heavy!

Just like buried treasure.

There was one i had twice when i was a kid at Paddington, it was an old city building which had a beautiful foyer and lifts, to operate the lifts you had to put a coin in, i did this a few times, my sister was also in the dream , then suddenly the coins wouldn't work so the lift doors wouldn't open, i'm pressing the buttons for the door to open to try and get in but the doors wouldn't open, from memory this was a real building when i was young ( obviously not with a coin operated lift ) but was pulled down, the building was very similar to the Hotel Australia which was pulled down in 1971 , i had this dream a third time as an adult, at the time i thought it was a bit scary but also at the same time found something comforting that my brain had locked into something and had remembered or stored something from my childhood.

I like the hidden or undiscovered room/space dream. I get that one every now and then in various forms. It's fun.

Apparently they are quite common.

Great song.

They are all based loosely on what your general thoughts are at the time integrated with past experiences.

I dream a lot.
And some times they wake me up
Some are annoying

 

[SpaceMonkey]

My sleep is f**ked and I dream way too much. It’s annoying

 

[Generalzod]

In my dreams I was drowning my soorows but my sorrows they learned to swim. As for the question some dreams reflect things that will occur in the future this is what my dear ol mother you to say god rest her soul, she said that dreams have hidden meanings.

Mate you can't sleep properly if you don't dream because you only dream when you have REM sleep (rapid eye movement) and you have rapid eye movement when your in deep sleep.
Deep sleep is when your fully relaxed similar to what bears experience during hibernation.
If one snores you most likely suffer from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is either central (nervous symptom) or obstructive apnea (snoring).
If you snore it wakes you up and you don't get a good night sleep.
So....dreaming is a good thing even if in the dream your being chased by an axe wielding psychopath or your falling off a cliff.

 

[blue bags]

Have dreams of being on cliffs with fears of falling Off
And dream's involving lions
Very strange

hmmm i've had very similar but this dormitory thing had expensive looking dark polished wood on the walls and floors
In mine, i was watching this guy, he got up as if he was dreaming and woke up quick. We both went outside, and ended up in the countryside and watched these people in robes and hoods walk into these holes in the hills. Both of us weren't game enough to follow them. Then my dream ended.
Did yours have dark polished wood by any chance ?

p.s hi all if anyone still remembers me, first post in quite a while
