Whoa, I never knew you had a daughter you couldn't see Orph, I'm really sorry to hear that Anyway, my condolences, but I'm sure its not a topic you want to dwell on so I'll switch topic.

My dreams range from hugely realistic to ultra-wierd, just like most peoples (and yeah, helluva lot of girls in em too orph!), but unlike most people I speak to, I can sort of control them a lot of the time. Its not 100% of the time and I can't do whatever I want, but often a dream will be playing out, and if something happens that I don't like, I change it.

For instance, once a long time back, I was being chased by a wierd big spider thing, sort of the size of small dog. Like A_S said, in dreams like this its often the case that you can't run properly, and this was happening to me. Eventually it caught up to me and I just rewound the dream, and tried a part again. No matter how hard I tried I kept not getting away from the thing though, be it tripping over rubbish, running too slow, or whatever. Despite this I could just keep repeating it over and over and trying different things. This sort of thing happens a lot to me, bit odd really, but I guess its better than dying in a dream and remaining dead for the remainder of it.

I once laughed in my sleep. I was watching a episode of Bottom (yes, in my dream), and apparently I was laughing so loud I woke everyone up. [addsig]

I don't know about dreaming, but I do know that I talk in my sleep. A lot. And apparently have carried on conversations with people.

Also, since I completely suck at sleeping, I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and I don't really know what's going on for a while. Just the other night, in fact, someone knocked on my door at about 2:00 AM. I was thouroughly convinced that it was a friend of mine from a town about 3 hours away that just decided to come and visit. I felt bad too, because the people down the hall that he planned on staying with were both out of town, so he had nowhere to go. I just sort of assumed that he wouldn't mind hoofing it back to his home town, so I just went back to sleep.

Needless to say, he hadn't come up, hadn't made plans to visit or anything like that. It was just really bizarre, I don't really know what else to say about it. [addsig]

Another strange dream of mine. I was driving in a car... but eating crisps in the back. There were a bunch of people in the middle of the road and I tried to reach around the seat to the pedals but my arms wouldn't reach. I then had to jump in the seat and press thee brake. The pedals were tiny though and the brakes were very bad. Thankfully I stopped in time! Analyze that one please. I very rarely remember dreams and I never get much sleep.

I've had a stupid dream where I dreamt that i knew it was a dream and i was in control of the dream (I have controlled dreams several times before). I was trying to bring this particular lass in but no matter how much i tried to control the dream, she just didnt turn up...

UhHhHhHHHHHHhHhHHH.....

Right... Well.... Moving on...

I find it surprising, where (I think I had a dream like this) I have dream where this girl who I like is in it, I'm more than aware that its a dream, and yet strangely enough, I don't "make a move" at her! It appears that I have concieouns in my dreams! ..... did I spell that right...

Yippie Ki Yay!

I think this could turn out to be a good thread, so ease up on the motherf**king wet dreams kids.

Ever guessed a friend of yours was dreaming and said stuff aloud to try and screw it up? I have. My friend woke up and was mad at me for 'screwing up a good dream.'

My theory is that dreams exist to sort out and clarify short term memory, turning it into long-term.

Well, I just recently had a dream where I killed someone..(no I'm not a pycho). All I can remember is that I had the choice, made it, and felt bad because I had thrown my life away. Then I woke up, relieved It was a dream.

I do remember that the person in my dream deserved it in some way, can't remember why.

I once dremt I was in world war 2 and I was behind enemy lines and wasy trying to hide from the germans with the rest of my squad but the weard thing is that we were moving around sky scrapers which theey didnt have then. oh and it was all in black and white like it was some old war movie.

I can carry on a coversation with someone that talks to me when im asleepand i dont remember anything about it. I can also sleep through someone phisacly shaking me but wake up if someone opens my door slowly so you can hear it rub on the carpet.

I typically don't remember the content of my dreams, but on more than one occasion I've had my dreams interfere with the real world, while I'm waking up. For example, I'm sometimes convince myself that the alarm clock beeping is in fact the dragon's alarm clock, and can therefore be ignored safely.

I got up in time, though.

i used to think that was an age thing, cause when i was younger i used to do similar things.. as i grew older, alarm clocks became a failsafe, i usually woke up on my own by just setting my internal clock..

but it turns out, its just a lazy person thing, i now know several dozen older people, who couldn't get up without some serious motivation, usually in the form of a horribly loud clock-radio, with an unlimited snooze option

i have noticed, people who were of some sort of military background, are taught better sleeping habits.. getting up is a sleeping habit people.

my advice, teach yourself to wake easier, someday your life may depend on it. sleeping hard is not genetic, its a learned thing, you are just lazy.

my only issue now, is i sleep so little, a sleep problem seems to run in my family.. i get up at all odd hours, seldom sleep more than4 or 5 hours, and usually not all at once.

dreams run from vague to vivid, most involve normal stuff, but a few are so absurd it goes beyond reason.. i have also woke up so angry at times, because of events within the dream that i am shaking with pent up adrenaline, and cannot go back to sleep.

i too have killed people in my dreams, all deserved it, and i had no remorse upon waking to ruin my day.

I've killed plenty of people in my dreams who probably DIDN'T deserve it. I've also been killed many times in my dreams. My favourite of these (strangely, once I wake, I enjoy whatever experience I may have been having, however horrible it would be in real life), would have to be falling to death. The speed - the exhilaration - then *->* all back to the real world...

My housemate last year was in big trouble with his girlfreind for a week on two occasions. The first was because she had a dream where he was kissing someone else, and the second where she had a dream where he was sleeping with her mum!

Orph, i know what you mean.. alarm clocks are merely there in case I do miss my scheduled time to get up - the only time i really do need them is if i've had a few beers or similar the night before.

Otherwise my body seems to recognise the optimal time to wake in relation to when im going out/going to work.. etc - yet like you say, some people really struggle with waking up.. strange ^_^

Dreams... ahh...

Sometimes I'll have a dream, I'm walking somewhere (like my school), I trip over something, then just before I hit the ground I wake with a jolt. Pisses me off really, mainly because I get the dream minutes after actually falling asleep, then I have to start all over again...

I think dreams are just memories somehow mixed around in your brain and combined, and you notice them when you wake up.

Are there really lucid dreams? Or do you just "remember" having a dream, and knowing it was a dream?
