Dreams (general)

[Moco Loco]

I feel like there must've been a thread like this already in these 11 pages, but I searched "dream" and there doesn't seem to be.
I thought it would be cool to have a thread about dreams in general because I NEVER have Pandora or Avatar related dreams, but I do have some pretty cool dreams generally speaking, and I'm sure some of you do as well. I actually love hearing about people's dreams, so if anyone else finds that interesting or has a good one to share, shoot

i always have weird dreams

yeah I made one a while ago, but it died lol. I also like hearing about people's dreams, especially those with a lot of fantastic stuff in it. xD Last dream I remember was from a few days ago, I was somewhat younger than I am now and we became like extremely rich (I was watching some tv show about rich people's house designs xD) and all I remember was having a bathroom made completely out of marble, it was a circle shaped room with glass walls and had a circular staircase in the middle leading to the upper floor. It was possible to hit a switch and let the whole room sink one floor lower and fill it with water to make it a swimming pool lol.
I'll add more dreams later.

See I am a completely lucid dreamer, its pretty awesome. I have a very fertile imagination as it is so dreaming for me is just play time. The only problem is when you "create" real things, and you never want to leave your dreams. The worst for me was definitely the dreams inspired by Avatar....stupid glowy forest.

I also get a lot of inspiration for the various novels I am working on out of my dreams. Usually there is at least one thing I take out of a dream and turn into something useful. I have something like ten different ideas for various books and at least half of those came from a dream I had.

I usually don't dream, which is kinda annoying. I just wake up in the morning "remembering" random things that haven't actually happened, or things I need to do that day that don't exist.

I end up remembering every dream. Its really annoying when something you want to happen in real life happens in a dream. You never want to leave. God I wish I could go back to the days when I didn't remember my dreams and didn't dream lucidly.

I've been having problems dreaming again
Well, problems sleeping at all for the most part, but even when I do, I don't seem to remember dreams...

I wish I could have AVTR dreams...I've only had a few and they were weird...

Hmm. I've read of other people with the same issue. Doesn't sound fun.


I have had loads of dreams during the summer. I don't actively try to remember them so some are quicky forgotten and some stay. Last night I was riding a motorcycle on a small road in a dark forest without shoes. It was difficult to shift gears barefoot. I was supposed to meet a bunch of people but was late and when I got to the house they were all eating. lol

Its fun....but you always have to wake up.
Oh God I apologize that was horrid.
The easiest way to sort of describe it is like Inception. You can craft amazing worlds, and depending on your force of will you can hold them in your mind to visit in later dreams. It really is a bad idea to "dream real things" though, because that is how you get lost in the woods...


That was worse.

I approve of this thread!

...particularly as the only Avatar dream I had involved zombies and Jake somehow also being the Doctor. I don't even KNOW.

I used to dream a lot, but after been diagnosed with depression about year and a half ago, I just can't remember if I dream or if I dream at all. Before that, I always had this dream of me looking at myself sleeping. Another recurring dream was that I could fly! After that particular dream, I always woke up very tired and, in a certain way, a bit disappointed of knowing it was just a dream.

I used to feel like I barely dreamed until I discovered lucid dreaming via avatar-forums.com early 2010. I learned that it's essential to keep a journal where you write down everything you remember from a dream soon after you wake up. Once I started doing that, I was able to recall so many more dreams than previously. I stopped doing it for a while after getting discouraged over not achieving lucidity, but I just started getting back into it again. It's kind of fun.

Funny...these days I'll frequently be going about my day perfectly normally until I see or hear something that triggers my memory, and I recall something from a dream that I had forgotten. Like how when I was at the grocery store today and walked past the cauliflower and suddenly remembered that I had a dream last night in which I was growing cauliflower with friends. It's a really weird sensation...

Fortunately I do have dreams that involve more exciting things than cauliflower...

Maybe you're looking at it the wrong way. That's a blessing, not a curse! Most people don't have the ability to explore - much less create - different worlds. Sure, you always have to wake up, but you always get to dream again the next night.
