I don't remember it too well now but a few nights ago I had a dream where I was finally in Chicago and I'm unpacking and this girl just walks into my apartment and starts asking me if I remember her and yada yada yada. So, she says her name is Vanessa (dunno anyone named Vanessa IRL) and she looks exactly like a friend of mine but she keeps talking about how she used to live next door to me when I lived in Oregon and all this stuff and I have no idea who this girl is. I don't remember much else after that, except for the fact she would start flirting with me all the time but then suddenly stop and then start again and I started to flirt back and just as it was all going somewhere, I woke up.
I kinda wish someone was around to tell me if I was talking in my sleep or not 'cos my ex used to tell me I'd be calling out girls' names (names of girls I don't know) all the time in the middle of the night. :scratch:
You're weird.
Does that help? :cheesy:
Or maybe girls have psychic powers that defied Freud's research....

Actually, I once had a dream that kinda freaked me out because it involved people & places I never even knew about 'til I went online and looked up some of the references I remembered.
It was about six years ago but I remember the entire thing clear as a bell to this day.

There are reports of people remembering things from their "past lives."
I don't believe in it, but then again, I didn't believe in ghosts until they
started popping up in my house. We've lived here for about 15 years
and I've only seen them like four times, so it's nothing bad. My parents
have seen them a lot more, but I guess when I was a little kid I didn't
notice them. It wasn't until my dog walked in my room and flipped out
one day. She immediately wet herself, her hair stood up, and she ran
downstairs as fast as possible, followed by me. Then 2 summers ago
I saw a girl in a blue flowered victorian style dress with blonde hair
reading a bible. Scary.

Were you drinking at all? I find that drinking alcohol has a pronounced effect on my dreams (both in frequency of occurence and content). It also goes that the more potent the alcohol, the more bizarre the dream. If I could remember any, I would tell you. The only thing I can think of those mornings is how to make that thing with the numbers on it next to my bed stop beeping and how much my head throbs.
EDIT: And before any of you smartass's remark at my ability to say my dreams are weird without remembering them. It is easy to remember things that are strange, but it can be hard to recall details...

every once in a while I will have dreams that I think are real, then wake up and think that it WAS real, and say something really stupid before I realize that I must have just been dreaming.
Like one time I had this dream that my family had won this competition and we were going to be the first people to go to mars. Then I woke up and my mom was rapping at my door saying "AJ its time to go to school" and I said "but mom, we're going to mars today!"...

Nope, was completely sober. Didn't eat anything funky before I went to bed, either. o_O

:lol: Once I had a dream I got into a fight with my ex and told her off bigtime and dumped her on the phone, then I got woken up by the phone when she really called me and I was like "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to yell!" and she was like "Uh.. o...k..."
I've also done job interviews via phone in a dead sleep and never knew it until someone came in and got the phone from me.

I've had dreams within 1 hour of falling asleep. How do I know? I only slept 1 hour. I thought you only had dreams during REM sleep, which usually occurs after something like 4 hours of sleep.

Were you just so tired that maybe you fell into a deep sleep as soon as you hit the bed?
On another odd note about the dream the other night.. 99.9% of the time when I dream about other people they never have faces. This is only the 2nd dream I can ever recall where the other person had a face.. dunno if that counts for anything but it does make me wonder about it more. :scratch:

You can get REM sleep in 15 minutes. It depends on what you do that day, the more info you take it the faster it happens. You can also force yourself into REM through biofeedback.
i dont dream that much, when i do, it's just the usual fantasy with the other sex

how come you can't die in your dreams? Has anyone ever noticed that?
my theory is that the brain would think you acually died so you would die in real life.

Actually, I did die once in a dream heh..
Rigged a bus terminal with explosives, only problem was I kind of got stuck in the center of the terminal just as the timer hit 0:03.. you'd think I would've woken up by then but no.. I woke up after a little trip to purgatory and then getting unceremoniously getting kicked through a gate leading to Hell, heh.

I like sleep. It's the only point in time when I can really say that my brain is resting. When I'm awake, my mind races all over the place. I'm a scatterbrain of the worse sorts. But when I'm sleeping, I can genuinely say that I very seldomly recall, or experience, dreams where I can conscious grasp what's occuring. It's beautiful, because the only thing I remember is utter blackness and peace. I can't imagine a better way to spend one's nights. I'm certain that I do dream, but my mind knows that bringing these to the surface where I will be conscious enough of them does me no good. Instead, it plays them in the background, to amuse itself while the conscious parts are slumbering and shut off to all sensory perceptions.
On the odd occasion that I will dream though, the dreams are often of the weirdest sort. Like, when I was younger (think 7-8 years old), I had this dream that Bigfoot was chasing me and my family around the countryhouse of friends of my parents that I hadn't seen in a few years. Then, Bigfoot just disappeared. Next thing I realized was that I was looking at a little grass snake, and that it had coiled itself about my wrist and was just sitting there staring at me and flickering it's tongue in and out. And that was a dream that lasted, while I was in it, something around 45 minutes... Made no sense when I woke up to realize I had been sleeping for 15 minutes only....

Probably, I was pretty tired that afternoon.

Kind of like Freud's collective unconsciousness thing...

There is no perception of time in dreams. Remember your brain is the only thing that can make up things that seem completely real*thinks of matrix scene*. It can however do this at a much faster rate than real life can be perceived. When you remember a dream you have to slow it down or it wouldn't make any sense to your brain because it is only used to one speed. Dreams only really last 1-5 seconds.

I'm really curious about how all these confident statments can be made about dreams and how they work. As far as I knew the only thing about dreams anyone can say with any validity is that everyone has them. Even then that is only a guess based on the fact that everyone who has been tested goes through the same patterns of sleep.

There was a dream I used to have every now and then when I was younger. I would be standing on this barren, flat, dusty patch of earth, at the bottom of a hill (also barren; dirt). In front of me there was this huge boulder (like 1.5 x 1.5 x 2 m diameters. I dunno, just big). This boulder had a little face on it, two eyes and a mouth. It would speak something to me softly, and then the next thing I knew, it was on top of the hill, and then it rolled down the hill. The weirdest part is that for some reason it was really scary!
Just thought I'd share that.
But I have always believed that dreams are just an expulsion of images that have been on your mind lately. A sort of cleaning of our biological RAM.
The other night, my 3 yr old daughter woke up at midnight and couldn't go back to sleep. Why was this??? Because she had a "good dream". She couldn't tell me anymore than that.
