We have some strange dreams, don't we? The night before last I dreamt that my hair was falling out in lumps when I combed it, then last night I dreamt that I couldn't sing in tune:eek2:

What is the strangest dream you've ever had?
 
I have a lot of superviolent gory dreams where I'm killing people. Which is really strange because I can't even kill an insect in real life - in my dreams I'm a psychopath.

Once I dreamed that I went into a little store in Tijuana and robbed the shopkeeper, and after he gave me the money I cut his throat and I was all covered in blood and running from the police. Another one the police came to a house I lived in and were digging up the backyard and finding all these bodies, every time they dug one up I'd have a flashback of killing that person. Then another one took place at my dad's farm where I killed 2 surveyors with a crossbow and cut one of the heads off and was trying to hide it in my dad's house. :eek2:

If I'm having dreams of a past life, no wonder karma is being such a b*tch to me in this one!
 
I've dreamed I won the jackpot on the casino and money was pouring out of the machine and I was for some reason trying to shove it in my pocket and then i woke up:(

I heard dreaming about hair or teeth falling out is related to stress? When your'll really stressed about something, these types of dreams pop up.

I looked it up because I have had those types of dreams too:eek2:

Um, I thanked you AND added to your rrrrrep.

Sweet dreams, Chay. Really, I mean it! :D

Sometimes having gory dreams helps the 'real' frustrations that we have about life. Imo
 
My strangest dream is one that I have mentioned before, here in the forum. My co-worker had the exact same dream as mine about me, too.

The 'jail' that I thought I was going to, was a hospital, the same hospital that my co-worker also works at.

That hospital is where my husband Jim was rushed to.

(Long story, short)

I believe that we are guided by our angels and or passed loved ones. So, although I never remember my dreams, except for that one...I try and make sense of them, however odd they are.

Sometimes a 'jail' for example is considered a large institution as well is a hospital.

So to translate the dreams I need to reexamine what the main subject of the dream, could also mean.
 
Wow Chayton ....you scare me a little bit :eek2:

I have a hard time cutting up a chicken from the supermarket - if I actually had to kill something to eat I'd probably starve to death. Maybe my dreams mean I'm repressing my homicidal inner child too much?

Seriously though, that's not all I dream about - a couple weeks ago I dreamed that someone hacked into my casinomeister account and made all these comments that looked like machine translations all full of typos. THAT one woke me up in a cold sweat! :p
 
I love dream interpretations that are acurate for me. IMO they are a very significant guide as to how you are coping in life at the moment.. Not too seriously though..

My dreams do represent and translate just what I am feeling of late when they occur most of the time. I just love dreaming and am lucky enough to
dream all the time and in colour too.
My favourite dream is always when I can fly. All through my life I remember very favourably, from the first time I can remember experiencing this dream as young as 5 or 6.
It's a wonderful dream. It also has it's downside too! I dream that I am being chased by semi bad characters and I start running really fast then out come my arms (wings ) and they start to gain speed in the butterfly stroke like I was swimming ( not the normal bird flap type motion ) and away I go up, up and up and higher to where I can see them from above looking at me in disbelief. lol.
Sometimes I do it easy and sometimes it's a struggle but I always manage to soar and land somewhere much higher than they and sometimes count my lucky stars and feel phew! that was a close one ..Haha I love it and have it at least once or twice a year for the last 45 or so years..

To me it just means that I always manage to bounce back after any crap times in my life that come my way.... It's a comforting dream.
Some funny and bizzare dreams above..
Chayton, I would think your first one screams you are too passive...haha.... :) imo only. The total opposite of your dream ..:)
 
Usually I dream of mundane things. I grocery shop (and not always naked), watch TV, play bingo and even read. I have conversations with real people in my everyday life, so vivid sometimes I wake having to figure out if they did happen or not.

I dreamt once that the street outside was erupting, and cars were being tossed and big spurts of molten lava were coming out of the fissures. Got up and got dressed in the morning and walked to work, only to find out there had been a huge fire 1/2 block from my apartment in the other direction! Guess my mind was just trying to make sense of all the sirens.

For years I had a recurring dream where I followed this black cat down the side of a Victorian row house with a wooden gate. I opened the gate to follow the cat into the yard, and I end up running because some unseen and evil force is chasing me now.

It was no house I know in my town, and I know all of the city of that age. Several years later, I was wandering a neighbourhood in Toronto (not my hometown), and saw the house! I even walked up the side path and looked at the gate. I didn't try to enter, law abiding citizen I am. There was no black cat that afternoon.

But I never had that dream again.
 
Has anyone ever had one of those mundane dreams where you're just talking to people and going to the store or planning a birthday party or whatever and when you wake up you realize that all those people who were your family and friends in your dream were nobody you know in real life? I've had dreams where I have a husband and kids and a sister - none of which I have in real life. In one dream I was a nurse, which was not even close to anything I've ever done or wanted to do or thought of doing, and the people who played my parents and my friends are nobody I know in real life either. I always wake up from those kinda confused thinking, "I've just had someone else's dream again."
 
My strangest dream was when I dreamed that I was being shot at by someone I know, I was crying to the person saying 'what have I done?' then she shot me and I woke up crying :eek2:
 
Also another dream that freaked me out was I had seen in my dream, my aunt who had passed away, she was picked council flowers in the middle of a town, her face was like a zombie's face:eek2:
 
I rarily remember any dreams and I havn't had any special one the last 20 years either. I have had enough nightmares in my waken hours to be bothered with them in my dreams also I suppose:rolleyes:

What I do remember was that when I was around 20 I had a lot of nightmares. I know people are saying that they are hunted or falling, but waking up before anything bad happens. I didn't:eek2:
I died! I drowned, I hit the bottom, I got sliced. It was an awful period of my life and I have never tried to found out what those dreams ment.
These days I'm lucky if I can sleep a whole night so probably that's why I don't dream, or remember doing it.
 
I have no idea how true this is...... but I was once told that the 'Falling' dreams we experience are there for a reason. Sometimes the body enters such a deep deep sleep that your heart rate can drop to an almost dangerously low level. When you 'land' in a falling dream you often wake up briefly with a bit of a jump... then settle back to sleep. This is natures defibrillator, upping the ol heart rate and saving your life.....

As for my own strangest dream.... this has to date back a couple of decades at least but I still remember it....

I was on a houseboat, travelling very slowly down a canal in the countryside. The odd thing was that the 'house' in question was the White house. How the white house fit on a tiny canal boat I'm not sure, but hey... this was a dream.

The houseboat was under attack from either shore by loads of pygmy/Zulu warriors. Lots of spears and arrows whizzing past like that scene at the start of Indiana jones when he's escaping on the plane. Helping me to defend the 'whitehouseboat' from this onslaught was the entire original cast of the Muppets. Fonzie had a machine gun.

I dont recall how it ended. I should refrain from eating cheese close to bedtime.
 
I rarely remember dreams these days... and they're rather ordinary when I do...

However, when I was younger.... up until my early twenties, I'd have a (very vivid) recurring dream. I was wearing a pink dress (an Alice in Wonderland type thing) and I was being chased by a huge colorful toucan flying after me - it had these horrible razor sharp teeth, with drool dripping from his mouth. And it made this horrible 'nails on a chalkboard' type sound. I would be running down a dirt (chert, actually - look it up LOL) country road which had puddles and huge cavernous holes in it. As I ran down the road, the holes got larger and closer and closer together till, at the end, there was no road, only huge black gaping holes with mere slivers of dirt between them. So I slip off one of the little edges and fall into one.... and fall ... and fall.... always awoke in a cold gasping sweat.

Still gives me the creeps.... And why a toucan?? I live in alabama... the most exotic birds we have around here are pet parakeets... weird...

Now. This is the really strange part. The last time I had this dream.... after I fell into the gaping hole, I thought to myself (while falling LOL) 'this is that stupid dream again and since it's my dream, I can change it'. Rather than continuing to fall, I sailed up out of the hole into the air flying above the road and the horrible bird and then I woke up. I never had the dream again.

Those are called hypnic jerks. We all get them. There's alot on them. But I lifted a quick wiki to save me the typing lol:

I had a Planet of the Apes dream once. Don't remember much but the setting was a huge meadow with lush green grass. Looking forward was a small mountain (or big hill) with dense woods. Very peaceful.

All of a sudden from the forest about 100 soldier apes on horses comes charging at me and whoever I was with. We starting running away and I woke up. Funny thing is I can still remember the terror from those damn apes!
 
When I was a kid I used to dream about bears a lot. We lived out in the boonies so we actually had lots of bears around, and I was terrified of them (especially after seeing the movie 'Grizzly') :rolleyes: But in my dreams there would be like a gang of bears, maybe 4 or 5 of them, they'd come in and kill everyone except me, I'd run off and hide somewhere, usually under a bed - and when the bears thought that all the people were dead, they stood up on their back legs and started talking to each other and acting like human thugs! They weren't speaking english so I don't know what they were saying, just that it was ever more important they didn't find me because now I knew their secret.
 
I have had a couple of dreams, that reacurr (sp?...too late for me to bother to spell check...I'm almost in dream state) but it seems so real, so normal, that it didn't upset me:

I was a rodent travelling in an attic with other rats, mice...etc...and we knew the terrain...so real and so normal? ....:eek2:

Also, in the '40's' I was a pilot...and we 'scrambled' a lot....with some of my school friends.

But I do feel like I have an affinity with the '40's'. I love that era for some reason.

These dreams feel soooo second nature, so normal.
 
I had a dream last night that I was driving my parents car and I drove it into a deep silo that was in a ditch, it was filled to the top with water, it was huge, I managed to jump out of the car door before the car into it, the car was completely submerged, nose down.

I rarely remember my dreams either, but this week I remember them...
It's so strange, sometimes I won't have any dreams for months, then have so many night after night.

I should mention that I don't drive.

Think that's bad Mousey, lol, when I was a child I had reoccurring dreams of being chased by a rhinoceros and another of being chased by a vampire down a lane lol
 
I just checked up the meaning of my dream last night "To dream that you drive your car into a body of water or that it rolls into water implies that you are in for an emotional journey."
I hope this means for me that because I jumped out, that I won't have to go through this 'emotional journey' because that is a wide subject, I must check other dream dictionaries to see if this means anything else,

God, the last thing I need right now is more 'emotional journeys', I've had my share of them :rolleyes:

Just did some reading on this Mary. Don't know if someone else already addressed this,
but do you ever eat close to bedtime? Spicy foods or having a full stomach can affect your quality of sleep or type of dreams.:eek:
 
I also had dreams, very early on in my childhood:

I had to step on stepping stones, high above an alcove ..mountain..no railings...just a few thousand feet above ground...I had to take each stepping stone very carefully for fear of falling.

I still have a huge fear of heights...pronounced more with my anxiety that I have today.


I wake up with almost every night with this fear.

It's exhausting.

There, that's me in the raw.

Thanks for this thread it has turned into a rather cathartic thread.:)

Please keep this thread running.

I've had recurring dreams that I live in a ruined city - sort of post-apocalyptic with all these big slabs of concrete broken all over and burned out cars and junk all over the streets. In some of them I'm living in this building with holes in the walls and floors - no stairways to get to where I'm going so I have to wiggle through this little access panel (that's really a tight fit) and sort of climb up this broken rebar and cables and stuff to get home. Usually I just manage to get my head and shoulders into the hole when I hear people behind me and I start to panic that they're going to catch me. Oh and there's this bridge, it's all busted up and parts of it are hanging loose over this long drop so I have to be really careful how I make my way across - and right at the end of the bridge there's a huge cement/concrete filled pipe that's broken off, and sticking up out of the broken concrete is a human foot! It's weird but when I see the foot I know I'm almost safe.

Oh and I also have dreams that I have to go to the bathroom really badly, and I find a public restroom but all the toilets are overflowing and heaped with all sorts of nasty guck. I've never found a clean toilet in my dreams. Maybe a good thing, that way I have to actually wake up to go pee!
 
I think I should mention this, my father dreamed he had won the lotto one night, (he really should have wrote the numbers down:rolleyes:)well, he remembered 4 of the 6 numbers, he did them, guess what, they all came out:eek:, he had a prophetic dream, pity he didn't write the bloody numbers down:rolleyes:

Then I had a similar dream, I dreamed that I had won the Euro millions jackpot, I could only remember the lucky stars:rolleyes: they both came out when I had done it lol, what are dreams like teasing in such a way:eek2:
 
Just did some reading on this Mary. Don't know if someone else already addressed this,
but do you ever eat close to bedtime? Spicy foods or having a full stomach can affect your quality of sleep or type of dreams.:eek:

I rarely eat before bedtime Beth, but if I do, I don't eat anything too heavy:)
 
Another thing I read having *driving* dreams has to do with maintaining control over something in your life.

Really interesting reading. I think this is a good topic that you started.:)

And crashing a vehicle would mean that subconsciously you're afraid of losing control...? I read that dreaming of hair loss or your teeth falling out is about fear of losing things - family members, a spouse, a job. Or I suppose fear of losing your teeth and hair. :)

I always dream about finding or winning money when I need it most in real life - I think the meanings of dreams depend on what's going on really in your life at the time. Sometimes it's pure escapism and sometimes it's the stuff that's bugging you when you're awake finding an outlet when you're sleeping.
 
So can anyone please be so kind and explain to me why some of us never can remember our dreams?
Are we "the boring people":o "the not interesting people" or maybe " the people without any life...or a functional brain":eek:

I just want to belong you know:p
 
I don't have time to dream - I'm too busy sleeping! :p

Seriously, when I dream it seems to be the "trigger" to wake me up because I need to go pee.
This is very frustrating - especially when it happens more than once a night.
Old age, I guess... :(

The times we do remember our dreams is when we are not in that deep sleep.
You are probably starting to dream just because the need to go is setting in.

I tried to read up on it a little, but it wasn't easy. It's different views and no scientists really know the reasons behind our dreams. It's all speculations. Just some patterns that's more clear than others.

I could maybe learn to remember my dreams by using different methods. Do I want to?
No I don't think so. Finally I can sleep a few hours every night so I'm happy for that instead;)
 
I am a lucid dreamer

My most terrifying dreams is when I can't get a handle, or don't realize I'm dreaming at first- Its a little tough to explain.

I tend to, then, descend into nightmare landscapes that I know are unreal- but feel real. I know I'm asleep, but I can not wake up. I can feel my legs, my arms- my body trying to wake up. Trying to move it...

But nothing.

I might as well be dead.

These are my most terrifying dreams.
 
Once I had a nightmare that I was just going on about my daily boring stuff and this dead guy showed up. He wasn't moving or doing anything, his corpse was just kind of slouched on a chair across the room. I left and went for a drive, and he showed up propped up against a sign on the side of the road. I went to my grandma's house and turned to talk to her and looked out the window and there's the same dead guy lying on her lawn. It went on like that, and he was really pissing me off because he kept showing up even when my dream was kind of normal. So I woke myself up (so I thought) and rolled over in my bed and there he was again! :eek2: Lol, and then I REALLY woke up!!!

I don't know who he was, I never saw him again. But he had dark hair and a moustache and was wearing a black and white plaid shirt. Funny I was flying to Phoenix a couple days later and went to visit my dad before I left and I told him about this dream - he said, "If a guy who looks like that sits next to you, GET OFF THE PLANE!" :p
 
Dreams, seems the older I get the less dreams I have.

I do recall being younger, 20 - 25 age days while asleep I felt as though I left my body and floated above the bed while sleeping, as if I was flying or hovering.

No joke this happened a lot. There was a point I dreaded falling asleep because of this and I was wipped the next day if I encountered it the night before.

Hasn't happened for many years, not sure why it happened. :what:

Two words, astral travel, it's real:thumbsup:
 
My husband says that I sleep very 'deep' and it's hard to wake me up... so my point is that maybe because that I hardly ever remember my dreams....except, of course, the ones's I have mentioned ;) that we are so deep in REM sleep that it's hard to remember,when we wake.
Maybe the time between REM sleep and awakening is pretty quick?

So can anyone please be so kind and explain to me why some of us never can remember our dreams?

I'm a very heavy sleeper also, this is why I am so surprised at having remembered so many dreams recently, I had another dream not last night but the night before...

I dreamed that I had got back together with an ex boyfriend/fiance (biggest mistake ever getting with him in the first place:rolleyes:)
But in my dream I didn't want to be with him, my current man of 10 years was in the dream too, I wanted to be with my current man in my dream.

I have to say that it was pretty weird, what is with all these dreams lol as if I'd ever get back with my ex:barf:
