Dreaming

[Serpents_Den]

How many of you remember your dreams and how real do they feel to you while you are asleep?

[Hock3ymonk3y]

I usually do not remember my dreams but when I do, I remember them being very real. Like a falling dream, lots of people have them and I think we can all agree that when you have a falling dream it feels very real, then you wake up just as you hit the ground lol (well thats my experience at least)

I remember just about every dream I have. Some of them don't feel very real, while others feel so real, I am an emotional wreck when I wake up.

Example. One dream that didn't feel very real. I was walking around and a tornado hit (I'm deathly afraid of tornados!) Suddenly I realized this was a dream and convinced myself to wake up. If you've ever stood in your dream and have tried willing yourself awake, its actually very hard.

One that really freaked me out. In my dream I was pregnant and I went into labor and while I didn't feel the pain of childbirth in my dream, I felt all the emotions. When I woke up I still had all those emotions and actually wondered where my baby was when I woke up. It really freaked me out and I immediately called my husband (fiance at the time). It took me nearly all day to stop feeling motherly. I've never been pregnant but hope to start trying this year.

Weird stuff, dreams.

I only seem to remember the super cool ones where I'm fighting zombies and stuff

I rarely have dreams that I remember. When I do they're random but pretty lucid and I often forget as soon as I wake up.

I've had a few scary ones that I will never forget that felt so real I woke up in a blazing sweat breathing all heavy and what not.

I had this one dream when I was younger (somewhere around 11 or 12) and I was running through the jungle. I'm running along this mountain path that has a drop on the right side of the path and the mountain side to the left. I come to a bridge that has fallen down and I have two options, I can stop and the monster behind me will eat me, or I can jump and try to make it across. I wake up.

YEARS later, I pick up right where I left off. I jump and keep running. I wasn't thinking about that dream at any point in time before having the second part.

that happens to me a lot, makes me wonder...

I sometimes remember my dreams when I wake but quickly forget. Best way to remember them is write them down asap.

I vaguely remember a dream I had where I was dreaming inside my dream which was very cool, I wish I could remember the details. Some dreams are so real.

So lets here some more!

I've had a few dreams that have been amazingly vivid and real. Some of the details on them are fuzzy in my memory years later, but the realness of them is still there to this day.

When I was in College, I had a friend named John who was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down from a gymnastics accident when he was younger. One night I dreamed about him.... I dreamed I was at the McDonalds where we often hung out (there weren't a lot of choices) and I saw him walk in. I was astonished and ran up to him and hugged him and said what a miracle it was. It felt extremely real...but I "woke up" and found myself not at McD's, but in one of our classes...and he walked in. Again, I jumped up and ran to him, this time exclaiming about this really weird dream I'd had showing him healed and there he was, all healed! I "woke up" again to another scenario just like the first two and it repeated all over again. And then I finally woke up...I was laying in bed in my own room, staring at the ceiling and thinking how crazy-weird that all was....extremely vivid and emotional. Then there was a knock on the apt door...I got up and went to answer the door...and John was standing there! Needless to say, I was in utter shock and didn't even know what to say to him by that point. Lots of crying and hugging involved. ...And then I woke up for real.

So far as I know, John's still in his wheel chair...he's from Zimbabwe, so we haven't been in touch for about 20 years. That was my most memorable and one of my most vivid dreams ever.

I also have a recurring theme dream....where I'm in a new house that we just moved into...or, I'm in the house that we currently live in...and I find a secret door that I'd never noticed before and it leads to whole new sections of the house that I never knew existed....big, grand rooms and fancy kitchens and beautiful furniture. Every single time this happens, I say to myself in the dream.... "Here we go again...it's one of those dreams. I have to be dreaming, right? Stuff like this never happens in real life." But it all becomes so vivid and detailed that I convince myself that I'm really not dreaming this time.... And then I wake up....

I'm weird...I know...

Very interesting, some dreams you can never let go. The most bazaar dream that ever happened to me was when I was about 11 or 12 years old. I use to like to go fishing in the local park pond and I had this dream of a girl I've never saw before ask me if I had a spare hook when I walked past her getting ready to go home. I stopped and opened my tackle box and gave her a hook. She then said to me thanks you're a lifesaver and I went on my way.
About a week later things happened exactly as in my dream!!! I didn't even realize what just happened till I left the park and suddenly remembered. I'll never forget this....
