Tell us your dreams...

[perrenthezombie]

I've always found dreams fascinating...


What are some of your most weird, scary, or interesting ones?

Do you dream in black and white or color? What types of color schemes?

Do you 'hear' things in your dreams?

Are they in first or third person?

What are common themes or elements in your dreams?

Do you have many lucid dreams? What are your experiences with this?

Do you have any recurring dreams?

Do you think they have some kind of psychological or spiritual/religious meaning?

etc.

I have such a back log of dream stories that I'll leave it for later and just write this for now-

I dream in sepia, but there's still colour. Like looking through a fly wire door.

That happens to me a lot, always right before I fall totally asleep. Except I'm always just walking or riding a bike or something like that. >.> No falling off cliffs for me.

I don't really remember my dreams too often. But when I do they're very vivid and I can experience all the sense and read...which is something your not supposed to be able to do in dreams...

I had a dream about the apocalypse once. Everyone was destroyed except Peter Murphy, Andrew Eldritch, my mom, and a few of my friends. I was given way too much caffeine, and Andrew Eldritch started going off on my mom about how she raised me to be really annoying.

This is the most significant and frightening dream I've ever had.

I was at the park with phill (my boyfriend) and a little girl; she was wearing a blue dress with her hair in pigtails I felt like I knew her…like she was my daughter. She was walking in front of us and he and I were behind her holding hands. I was in my usual attire of black bondage pants and a T-shirt; he was wearing jeans and a black shirt with something on it. I remember seeing the girl petting a dog that came up and licked her and then she ran up and said to him “I have to go potty” he said “Ok come one Hun I’ll take you” Then she goes “No I want mommy” so I smiled to him and kissed him then I took her to the bathroom, and while we were in there I remember thinking she had been taking a long time so I said “Hun you done in there?” I didn’t get an answer “Jade?”(Somehow I knew a name) so I opened the door and there is this scruffy looking guy in there with his hand over her mouth and a gun in his hand. As soon as I opened the door I get shot in the head and all the sudden I’m somewhere else…like I’m a different person only….like a spirit, and I’m just standing there watching everything and I can see my body on the floor and I hear her scream. Pretty soon Phill ran in and I’m on the ground and the guy is standing over me while she is flailing in his arms, she bites him and he drops her so she runs to Phill and about that time the park security runs in and tackle the guy and everything. I remember looking over to see jade crying and Phill just kind of shocked I guess. I tried to say something but nothing came out. Then it all the sudden flashed to later that night and I see jade in her bed talking to him I heard her ask “Daddy where’s mommy?” I don’t think he replied because he just stayed quiet and hugged her. At that point I started trying to talk to him and yelling and when they couldn’t hear me I started freaking out and went to touch him and woke up.

EDIT: I dream in color most of the time, and I can hear and feel things like speech and touch. Usually in first person but the ones in which I die (a lot of them) are in third person after the death. There is a lot of death in my dreams, me usually. The dream above i've had like 8 times, not quite sure why and yes I do believe that dreams let us explore our inner self, things we fear, things we want, and things we do not know.  

[Gothic Muffin of Doom]

I don't usually remember my dreams but the ones i remember are usually nightmares.
I dream in colour like real life and sometimes it's so real that i feel it's not a dream. And another thing in my dreams the vision is clear although in the real life i wear glasses.
Sometimes i get that falling feeling too, when i start my sleep, Some ppl say that if it comes to you while you are really asleep you never wake up.  

[Henneth Annun]

I dream in color, and in first person...I can here things too...I have entire conversations. Something that pops up a lot in my dreams is me as a guy. I am me, but I'm a guy...Exotic places pop up often, and sometimes I'll revisit a place too! Usually things will be exagurated, and the dream will be very long and make no sense at the end of it. neutral Sometimes I'll dream something and it will happen, or something eerily simular will. My shortest dreams always include some type of death or killing, like the one where my mother killed my stabbed then came after me, but I escaped. sweatdrop Or like the one where someone was run over by an 18-wheeler and his blood coloured the rain (which was pretty awesome in a morbid way.) When I was younger there was a lot of fantasy involved in my dreams, and if I read Lord of the Rings or watch Star Wars those elements usually pop back up.

I think that dreams express what you want or would like to do, or show you things from the past or give you a wierd peek at the future. Some dreams I can't figure out at all and others just scare me. I think they also tell you something about yourself, like the feeling that I get sometimes that I might have been born in the wrong body.  

[Primo V]

again good bye.

Here's a wacky dream for you guys.
Seriously, I have no idea why I dreamt this.

I had a dream that Luri was changing the guild to a pirate guild. It was being changed to "The Pirate Cove" and the banner was all flashy - like literally it was flashing - and she had this huge image of her avatar dressed like a pirate on the guild homepage.
And so I made a topic saying that I was leaving because Luri was just up and changing the guild. And everyone was angry that I was leaving saying that I was traitorous and such.

It was quite strange.

Anyway to answer the dream questions:

I just told you one of my weirdest ones. I have more I'll post them later perhaps.

I dream in colour selection - black and white with maybe one or two items in colour.

Occasionally I'll hear things. It's usually my own voice.

For the most part they are first person.

Common themes? Loss or reliving some aspect of my past.

I have a fair amount of lucid dreams. They're usually when something horrible is happening to me. And it's during these that I know I'm dreaming and I struggle with understanding that I'm dreaming so whatever happens isn't that bad, but at the same time the fear of whatever is going on.

I've had a few recurring dreams. One of the most common was me going to visit my best childhood friend, but he had moved to this watchtower in the middle of the Bering Strait. And I was going to visit him with my dad on and iceberg - yeah, that was our transport. We get there and he calls us up. So my dad and I are climbing to him - and he's eating tuna sandwiches, this is a detail that I can't figure out why I know - my dad makes it too the top, but just as soon as I'm about to crawl into the room, a huge gust of wind blows me away from the outstretched hands of my father and friend. I land back on the iceberg and drift away, watching my friend and dad stare down from that room.

Another involves me losing teeth. They aren't always the same dream, but they're always the same outcome. My adult teeth begin to just fall out. One time it was a whole row of teeth, like the entire chunk of my toothline on my mandible. I wake up from these dreams highly disturbed. I have these dreams recur the most.

I don't believe that dreams mean anything spiritual or religious - though I don't doubt that God communicated through dreams back in old testament times. But today, he doesn't do that. Psychological? Yes. I think that dreams, especially the recurring ones, can be studied to understand things that might be bothering a person. I'm sure there are patterns that can be traced to discover certain subconscious feelings or reactions to things going on in a person's life. I think they can tell how someone truly feels about something, and they are not to be looked at at face value. Not all dreams, of course. I think most of the time dreams are simply recapitulation of daily events or worries, most times merged together - giving way to why dreams are always so strange and usually don't make sense.

Something that wasn't asked by the creator of this thread is do you read things? There are dreams I've had where I can see the words on a page I'm reading. I can remember these words vividly. And I've found that most times when I actually hear myself talking in dreams and remember what I've said, those are times when I've been angry in my dreams. It's usually expletives that spew forth and are remembered by me when I wake.

Yes, dreams are highly intriguing.

 

[The Goth Apple]

I usually dream in color, third person perspective. Which is odd, because I often don't realize I'm dreaming, and you think looking down at myself like a Sim would tip me off. Oh, and I dream animation alot. Also should tip me off it's a dream, but still.
Here's the most recent one I remember.
It was animated, but that's not too weird, many of my dreams are; but the animation was definately asian. But not Ghibli-esque, I mean, in dreams that's practically live-action. I think I dream like that alot, come to think of it. Not my point. It was more like Bleach or Naruto than Ghibli.
There were two people both in their early teens, a utaku boy who managed to pull off the enthusiastic nerd thing; and an overprotected goth girl. He might have been wearing a school uniform but I know she wasn't. Until I wrote this, I was pretty sure she wasn't me because her hair was black. Then I remembered the dye. But I think she might have had bangs; and looked a little like Hannagima from Fruits basket.
They were talking in a hallway that felt familiar, like it was part of my highschool or somewhere around where I grew up, with these very old wooden toilet booths under some stairs. There was a landing about the height of the stalls to the left of where the stalls where, and the stairs curved over them. It was night, and I think the girl may have had a bookbag or a large purse, the kind that looks like a miniature briefcase.

They were talking, and the overprotected goth girl was being overprotected; vaguely sarcastically hostile at the boy; who took this as normal for her. They were picking a place to hang out, and he enthusiastically suggested the bug museum. Clearly, she was very fond of him; if not exemplitory, because she just gave him a look and asked, "Bug museum?" He sweated and suggested, "Or we could go to a movie or something..."
Then he mentioned that Rocky Horror was playing downtown, and she just lit up.
"I haven't seen Rocky in two years!" And he agreed meeting to see Rocky together was a good idea, idly used the word "date" to gauge her reaction; and took the fact that she actually smiled as a good sign.

Conversation turned to the supernatural, and he bragged about being a... I forget the word he used, but I know that it was followed by "Like Ichigo, from Bleach." Non-examplifry goth girl again proved she was very fond of him by taking what he was saying into consideration though she clearly thought he was full of it.
He said that he made his own hollow-fighting symbol based on the ones found in Bleach, and that he tested it and it worked. He asked her if she had noticed the bathrooms were less creepy then they were a few month ago. She considered, though she was clearly a bit skeptical, and admitted that now the stalls themselves where just the normal level of old-bathroom creepy, but she still didn't like to use them because the landing above them felt less normal. I got the impression she had some supernatural ability she had not learned from comics, which would explain why she was only partially dismissive.
He agreed there was something upstairs, and that he was pretty sure it was a ghost of some sort. They looked at the stairs as he talked about what he hypothesized about the ghost, that it was a adult woman and very angry; when she felt it and he saw it moving further up the stairs, just beyond their range of vision. All he really caught was a swish of skirt; she felt the surge of foreboding equal to that of a ghost sneezing. (in anime, there's a convention from a japanese superstition that if you suddenly sneeze, someone's talking about you) He ran up the stairs after it, and she loudly expressed her opinion that this wasn't a good idea. Then he shouted, "Don't worry, I'm a (whatever it was)"
Then he screamed.
She ran to the stairs and began to climb them to his aid, and felt something tugging on her skirt. When she looked down there was a pale little boy pulling back on her skirt; who had every semblance of being a yurei.
She recoiled and pulled herself away, running towards where the other teen's voice had emanated from.
She made around the corner that she couldn't see, where there was a hallway with at least three doors. The girl stayed at the top of the stairs as she called her friend's name and asked him to make a sound again so she could find him. Then she, and I, in a sense, since now the dream switched to her perspective, felt the tugging on her skirt again; only this time it was harder and sent her tumbling down the stairs.
With that sensation, I awoke.

I don't remember my dreams often. But the ones I do I wake up thinking they would make good comics, and I'm usually frustrated I didn't get to see how they ended.
Example of comic based off of dream.

Last night I had a dream about late morning. There was sunshine absolutely pouring through the windows of my room. I got out of bed and began to water all of my plants. There were so many that I could hardly reach some of them so I wound up using this incredibly industrial looking watering device. When I got to the window near the headrest of my bed (Its pushed sideways against the wall) I noticed that both the window and screen were left open about two inches, allowing a decent mass of winged insects too crawl inside. Something moved slightly out of my side vision and I yelled to my dad that I had to shoo a giant wasp out of the house. When I finally got the courage to reach down between the bed and the wall, I wound up pulling out a sparrow instead. It looked sickly, but remained calm in my hands. Then I woke up. The end.
