Dreams

[muskrat]

Couple nights ago had a nightmare about big, mangy, cyborg bears (kinda like the DT Shardik, but smaller, and no satellite hats) chasing me all over the place. I kept having to climb high atop these rusty semi trailers to avoid them. Nasty, rotten breath, little nanobot fleas crawling in their greasy fur. Woke up in cold sweat (and had to pee).

When will I learn? NO PORK BEFORE BEDTIME!

I have one reoccurring dream where my teeth fall out painlessly in my hand. A few at first, then all. I associated this dream with vulnerability, embarrassment, or even sickness. Not sure. Does anyone else have this dream? Btw, this began long before The Tommyknockers was a book.

I had a dream the other night where my oldest son had these little bug legs in his hair, and I was trying to decide if that meant he was a welder or a Jedi.

I have NO idea where that one came from, but it's kept me giggling when ever I think of it for days

I love my dreams. The best and the most vivid one was where I was a freedom fighter that was fighting the corrupt government that appeared after a nuclear holocaust. The army was after me and I could do all of these cool shootout type things where I spin, flip and jump all over the place shooting the soldiers. It felt so awesome and alive to be moving like that.

I fell asleep reading earlier this evening. I dreamed that I was in a theater watching the movie Tremors in French. I apparently speak French in my dreams because I understood every word, I was having a great time and laughing. I looked over to the side to whisper something to the person next to me when all of the sudden and out of nowhere this big horrible face is in my face and it yells at me. It says Get the Hell out of here you Goddamned busybody!! I immediately woke up, no I slammed awake and my heart was pounding like I had just ran a marathon. Yikes, right?
I'm okay now, but it took me a few minutes to shake it off. I'm having a nice cup of chamomile tea as we speak. I think I'll stay up for a while... just saying.

I dream vividly all the time now. In the last year or so, except for last night!

A few weeks ago I dreamed that the world was flooding. Me and a couple of people were trying to find things to float on. I wound up on some kind of board and I was telling people to grab the board. One guy refused and said the world was not flooding because there wasn't an announcement.
I say WHAT! Grab the board you idiot and then he went under.
Wonder what that was about?

Prediction of the TX floods?

Prediction of the TX floods?

I was thinking that maybe. But this felt more like something personal. Something about being frustrated with people not listening to reason, or them being stubborn to a disastrous fault. I have had a little of this sort of thing going on recently, and after giving it some more thought I think maybe it's more reflective than predictive.
Usually when I'm having predictive dreams, they are very specific. They involve specific people and places. Usually someone who has passed is telling me about it happening, and sometimes they show me the place and the person. They are really rare too. But who knows?
All I know is that all of the bad or disturbing dreams I've been having of late probably have to do with all the stress of the dental surgery and the anxiety and pain involved with it. As brave as I am trying to be about it, the inner me is not having any of it. I think maybe I need to let myself have a good cry or something.

I've had this happen in real life. LOL-ish.
In dreams it can mean you fear losing control of things that are happening in your life. In waking life it means many hours in the dental chair.

i always dream a terrible dream

like one time, i dreamed someone was chasing me and want to kill me so bad.
there was a dream where i was underwater and i am drowning (as a person who has an aquaphobia, this is my worst nightmare)
i dream i am falling down from the sky
like every time, i experiencing nightmares frequently these past few days

however there are times that i have a good dreams (for me), like this dream that i am a member of an outlawed cowboys, or a con artists, or agents and spies or i dream that i went to somewhere where all my wishes and hopes was granted.

but i'm still worried that i experienced nightmares so frequently. the count of my nightmares is so many compared to my Astral and Lucid dreams, and i'm starting to worried a lot about my brain activity every night

i thought that if you dreamed a dream like that, someone who is close to you will die. that's what my mother told me

There are different ways to interpret dreams. I tend to lean more toward psychological methods, because I am spooky enough already.
I hope you stop having bad dreams. They can mess up your whole day.

Spending the whole dream at work and waking up tired.

[content deleted] with [content deleted].

Pretty much all my dreams on a Sunday are like this.

 

[champ1966]

Absolutely love dreaming, most of the time, the more vivid the better. To the extent that my final words on this mortal coil will probably be the same as HAL's in 2001 A Space Odyssey, when they're going to switch him off to conserve energy 'Will I dream?'

Yup, you are true, dreams made me messed up every day, in the morning, i found myself so hard to think because the dreams were so clear to me. Additional to that was my bad behaviors, like i sometimes wake up every morning, crying because of my dream or screaming, my mother was so worried because it became so frequently so she want to have a psychological check on me, except well to the naps (i never dreamed on napping session, i always heard the noises coming from my music player lol)

Dreamed (nightmare) that I had enlisted again, a dream that recurs every so often out of the blue though it has been years since I served. Apparently, I was going Air Force this time, 'stead of navy like I was. At one point--several of us are gathered in a room, AFEES, Milwaukee, I think--and I'm in my new get-up, we're about to be carried off to the various destinations, difference branches of service. Some Major Major Major Major is handling the proceedings. I'm sitting in a chair along a wall as are a handful of others. I want to take off my hat and look at the emblem/insignia on the front to confirm what I think...I'm now in the Air Force...and maybe I think, well, maybe it won't be too bad. This is the first time I've enlisted in something other than the navy. Go figure. The most memorable dream was about the Traverse River where it empties into the big lake--wide enough for two fishing boats to pass and that's it--though in the dream I had an assortment of naval vessels moored or underway. In every one of these dreams there is one emotion--WTH did I do? Enlist! WTH was I thinking! Eventually I wake up.

Anchors away!

I keep a dream log by my bed to write down the more interesting ones. If I awake from an exceptionally interesting dream, and my dream log is on the dresser across the room, I'll usually convince myself that it wasn't that interesting.

I used to try to do that. I was determined to write down my dreams when I woke from them. What I did was to write a bunch of gobbledygook that made no sense when I tried to read it when I was all the way awake. I tend to remember them anyhow so I gave up on the journal thing.
Anybody else have success with dream journaling? Helpful hints?

 

[asoul]

Can someone say something about operated/controlled dreams? What devices are used for them?

About Master Dreams I already know... I experienced that twice.
