Your dreams

I have lots of weird and wonderful dreams, always have.  I remember some from early childhood.  Sometimes, when I wake up, I wish I could go back to sleep and find out what happened next .

A lot of the time the dreams fade as soon as I wake, that's quite normal.  The BIG ones (good and bad) are remembered.

Dreaming is marvellous.  I've had some horrible ones that I could have done without though, but not in recent times.  Also had dreams about going to Heaven, angels etc.  A very frustrating one was when I was trying to find my way to Heaven, mainly by public transport, and it seemed to take ages - then I woke.

There is a way to improve recalling dreams.  It entails keeping a dream diary by the bed and entering the day's date before you go to sleep.  With practice, you can wake up after a dream and write it down with as much detail as possible.  It can happen several times during the night, but be warned it plays havoc with your sleep patterns.  Unless you are going to do something with the material it probably isn't worth while.

I have mentioned this before, but newer members may find the following interesting. I taught myself lucid dreaming over a period of weeks, but had to discontinue it because something disturbing happened. My dream sequences became linear, i.e. Monday night's dreaming continued the story from Sunday night, and Tuesday night continued the story from Monday etc. I was literally "living" a surreal alternate life. At first it was great fun, but after a while it became creepy. There was no escape from the surreal, any more than there was an escape from the real. Take my advice, don't try it.

On a lighter note, I did once have a dream come true. I dreamed that I needed to pee. When I woke up I found that I really did.

That's funny Humph, it happens to a lot of us, no doubt.

Lucid dreams are not funny though, I've had a couple and one in particular was terrifying.  A good few years ago and I hope there are no repeats!

What is funny is that I posted about it on a Christian forum, one of the old, now defunct ones;  I had no end of responses telling me it was of the devil and one person said it was probably the result of drugs, which I didn't 'do'.  I tried to explain that the content of the lucid dream was a direct result of something I had seen on TV during the evening, not very pleasant but an interview with someone about a murder, but they would not have it.  No, I was definitely being attacked by the devil.

Ekim, I know about dream diaries but, honestly can't be bothered.  I doubt the dreams I forget, or forget quickly, are that interesting, would probably send Jung to sleep!  The good ones I remember clearly.

Do you dream much and remember them when you wake up?

These days my dreams are ephemeral and I can't remember them when I awake, which is irritating as some are quite interesting and I seemed to be enjoying them.

I have mentioned this before. I have a recollection, which can only have been a dream, I have had as long as I can remember and is really weird. I saw myself up in heaven with god (a bright white light) and the angels of which I was one.  :lol: I was told it was my turn to go down to Earth and do my time as a human. I wasn't thrilled and protested, but ended up here anyway. Maybe that accounts for me screaming my lungs out for the first three months of my life, I must have been having a MEGA temper tantrum!

You've put this on here before, as you said, and basically your dream sums it up.

Happily 'did' and not 'had'!

Presumably he wasn't drunk at the time or the output, I mean outcome, might have been different.
