The Dream Thread

[butters]

post your dream lives, for gentle ridicule, sympathy, and psychoanalysis by all of us amateurs

how do you dream? in technicolour with all senses firing, or in more sepia tones and lacking the sensations such as taste and smell? are you always you? do you ever see yourself and if you are you in your dream, are the the you as you are now or an older/younger you? do your dreams follow patterns? does water appear regularly? do you ever sit down to eat a meal in them? how 'real' do they feel as you dream?

all of that stuff and more. go for it

today, before waking, i was busy planning all the spring stock changeover - trying to find enough good stock in the fresh colours i needed and sorting where they'd be best displayed in the shop. oh well, 'spose it saves me thinking about it when i'm awake.

Now I hear Cheap Trick.

i and the most bizarre lesbian dream last night, where after having sex, she made me eat her breast milk yogurt. it was the nastiest thing ever. i kept thinking, i need the dick.

I dreamt I had a Star Trek transporter, I transported a Mexican drug lord's cash stash to a farm field, and replaced it with a net full of fish, while Eric Cartman sang a duet with Nick the lounge singer in mirrored leisure suits.

I think the Nyquil may have been an influence.

I often had super odd and very detailed dreams. I sometimes know the location, say the house I grew up in, but in the dream it looks nothing like it, but I know that's where I am.

A few days ago I had a dream about my dead dogs. They were in a fenced in yard. I said hi to them and came to see me. Clown, the male, sniffed at me and then moved on. Shadow, the female, came up to the fence so I could pet her. At some point I started sobbing, because I knew it was a dream and that I would wake up and they wouldn't be there.

I dreamt I was planning my wedding, the wedding favors were detergent and softener, but for some reason I didn't have enough for everyone at the actual wedding even though I had counted them 100 times.....
Wtf is wrong with me?

You mean getting married and all? ... ...

I'm already married, my wedding consisted of going to church, saying "sure why the Fuck not, i'm all dressed up anyways" and then having the party at a local club and getting wasted.
If I ever divorce I never want to get married again so why am I dreaming of a wedding and detergent?

Well, you did hit your head...

So what you're saying is I'm damaged at the moment and my dreams are reflecting that? Hahaha

 

[Libsam]

Huh, I didn't know flying in dreams meant I was a lucid dreamer. I often fly and my dreams are often very realistic. I've woken up crying, I've woken up pissed off and it ruined the rest of my day, and I've woken up laughing my ass off.

I can sometimes change my dreams. After my heart dog passed away 3-4 years ago, sometimes she randomly shows up and saves me from bad dreams. I feel so much joy when she shows up.

I have this recurring nightmare with the same theme.

I'm in high school, college or graduate school, and I'm up against it. I haven't studied at all for test I'm about to take, or a paper is due that day and I'm nowhere near finished, have already pulled an all-nighter. Or I've been skipping out on a class or course altogether, and I'm about to face the consequences in some form of academic penalty.

My classmates and professors are there in great detail and I'm panicking at the end. I wake up and have to reassure myself that I'm no longer in school, and I have a job that takes up most of my time.

The crazy thing is, I haven't done any formal coursework in about a decade. People who know me are convinced it's work related.

This is a lot like me. Dreams can sometimes seriously affect my mood, especially if it's about or based on something real.

Old friends from high school and college show up a lot, especially some old boyfriends. Sometimes people I was close to for just short times are in them. I actually called one of them I hadn't seen in years the next day and told them about it.

Sometimes I'm aware I'm dreaming and can actually become a spectator in my own dream. Those can be fun because I don't really care what happens because I know its just a dream.

Thanks you, lovely.

Does anyone enjoy lucid dreaming? I can do it but I tend to fly a lot and it turns out I'm crap at it! I get scared when I go too high and my landings are always clumsy and awkward. I remember coming in to land in a pretty grassy field and I wound up just kind of scraping the ground with my chest for several yards

This sounds about right. I believe it might go like that ir real life.

I've had the back in college dream a lot. Usually I haven't been in the practice room once. In reality I spent more time in the practice room than anywhere in those 4 years.

*tapping my nose* I think it's safer for all of us if some of us remain earthbound

Indeed.

Dreams....in vivid color. The blood is always bright red. When those dreams come it's mostly mine. Backed into a corner, faced with many who are trying to cut me to pieces, many wounds and someone behind me I'm trying to protect......waking in a cold sweat, gasping, seconds from the end in my dream........

.........working under a large heavy object (a ship most of the time) with a work mate. It slips on the supports and begins to fall. We have no where to run......the pressure, the pain as it hits me.....

Other times the dreams are much more pleasant. The echo of a bikes engine in a canyon, then as I accelerate out of the corner the bike rises into the clouds.....freedom....

.....Or the touch of a woman's soft, smooth skin. The taste of her, the sound of her excited cries as we enjoy each other. Even at 60+ I wake with sticky sheets from those.......

Dreams, at times either terrifying or wondrous, but either way much better then none at all...which happens and is the most terrifying of all.

the dream this morning someplace after 8.30 to 10.30 involved underwater parking in a snowy front yard or a relative (who lives hundreds of miles away); a tiny animatronic baby duck taking its first swim behind a couple of real ducks and only its head and an inch of neck were visible above water; H's brother dressed in a trump costume for a fancy dress; rearranging rooms in our house (nothing like our actual real life house) and coming to the realisation that his ma'am sharing the same bedroom as us would definitely cramp our style; the grandkids messing about with animal crates where tiny mini-kittens were climbing out of and over;

and--maybe the strangest--a dark-red-skinned potato baby (think 'this vegetable really looks like a weird root veggie baby') that was linked to the duck (because it wasn't a 'real' baby), waking up, peeing into the air (it's a boy!), then very disturbingly ending up being able to form words, laugh, and have H's mother in happy stitches playing 'snap' cards with her. Other relatives were in and out of the dream and it was even more convoluted than described.

the bright red the metaphorical content... your sleep-brain's almost as cheesy as mine


your sex dreams sound fun

one thing that stands out for me is the fact you experience pain. i can't really remember feeling pain in mine, even though i am familiar enough with some forms. have you lived the actual kind of pain you dream about?
