Dream Diary

1
I'd like to start a new thread here. Often there is discussion about dreams or it is mentioned here and there. I think it would be a good idea that we start our own little dream diary that you are willing to share with us. The idea of a dream diary is that you write down the details when you wake up from one of those really great dreams you just want to return to (usually because its unresolved or there is so many details you can't figure out). Then, you post that on here later :)

I'll start off! Ok, so it's the easter break here, and I'm sleeping in later than usual... So I think I had this dream somewhere between 7-10am THIS morning. One of the cool things about going back to sleep in the morning and dreaming is that you remember things much easier, even though the details are vague.

Just to clarify practically nothing happens in this dream, just the little details I examine.

So to start with, the first thing I remember is being in college, in the study area... The place was poorly lit for some reason, and I didn't know anyone around me - Except for one person, some girl I know at college who I've found myself slowly falling for. In the dream, she is acting kinda weird, at first crying then laughing it off. I was buried in my work and didn't notice at first. So I ask her whats the matter, and she says "It hurts", and then mutters something about an operation. <Insert a few more details here, I'd already forgotten them> The next thing I remember is walking up the hill with her to the bus stop (something we do a lot, but rarely alone). The thing I've noticed with this girl, maybe it's me or maybe it's her, but she communicates much better when there is no one else around. I have to admit, I'm much better getting through to people one on one as well, with little or no distractions.

So we're talking about stuff, mostly small talk - The bus stop has a big queue. The bus comes along, but it's not the bus that should come along at that stop. Infact, that particular bus shouldn't be anywhere near the area in the dream. It IS a bus I would take if I was coming from downtown (If I was visiting her place, that would be the second bus I needed to get home). We both get on (why would she get on that bus I don't know... Then again, nothing in my dreams is exactly how it should be) and go to the back. We talked a fair bit, usually we don't talk that much at all. You know how buses are... Noisy. But sometimes we talk about this and that, have a laugh, etc. In the dream we were talking about deep and meaningful stuff, which is not something she does publically - nor do I, as a rule. It's just too uncomfortable, call it a personality trait that I think we have in common.

So I before I know it, we're in the highstreet in my home town... Again in the wrong place, coming from the wrong direction. Nothing here makes sense though, because if we were coming from college, it would take more than one bus to get to my town. And it would be a different bus... Oh well, no matter. So I go "Oh, crap, I better get off here" at which point she grabs me by the arm and gives me a kiss... You know, a small one that kinda leaves you wanting more, but your still left in shock.

There is another part of the dream, but I think it was just a seperate dream, and basically involves me getting home, being set on by schoolkids, beating them up, bumping into some friends (who I've never seen before in my life) and then going to my house with them (which I would never do, since I never invite anyone over when there is anyone at home). And so on...

So I missed out a crapload of details, like all of conversations that took place in the dream, but I can't really remember enough about them.

Interesting... The latest dream I can remember was simple, and lasted about 1 minute:

I'm walking through a deserted house. The general style and design is similar to one of my friend's, but I don't recognize it. I head towards the garage, and then this girl I know shows up next to me [Do I sense a pattern?] for no reason. So, we both head towards the garage, not questioning how she suddenly appeared there, and then I step in, and this guy leaps out from the side, points a shotgun point-blank at my neck and fires. I didn't find out what happened to the girl or that guy with the gun. End of dream, I lurch awake.

I'm one of those people who has EXTREMELY lifelike dreams, so this was all as real as real life. On top of that, I also feel physical feelings in dreams, so being shot in the neck... Yeah. Ow.

[edit] *Smacks self upside the head* OH! How could I forget about the Extinction Clinic dream??? That one was truly epic... Eh, another time, perhaps :) Once I re-gather some of the details...

I rarely dream about sex. It's not something my mind seems to care about in it's unconcious state. Me... I'm your typical dreamer of bizarre, vivid and magical dreamscapes. Maybe once every few weeks I get one of them dreams that just seems so real you want to go back.

I hear ya :wink:

(Actually, I've only had two or three of those... And in all those instances, they involved a character from an old CGI show :razz: I must be crazy. I don't really care about it either consciously or unconsciously...)

You probably do, you just cant remember anything about it in the morning.

Most of my dreams are very symbolic, they involve places that I can recognise despite the fact they look completely different to real life. I'll try typing up the next one I remember, but it probably won't make much sense.

Same here. All of my dreams are like reality, but everything is slightly different.

The oddest dreams are where I begin the dream driving, as if I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. At some point in the middle of the dream, I'm no longer in a vehicle, but now running. Without a transition from car to foot, I just happen to realize it a bit after it happens in dream. Eventually, I begin this jump maneuver, where I leap and boud, up to 40 ft in the air, and over 250ft distances, as if it were nothing, just another way of travelling. Eventually, I'll move inside a building, and the dream then changes. Seamlessly. As if it were all part of one story. I never understand that. The begining has absolutely nothing to do with the end.

sex...

My dreams seem to never be about sex. Often, they're just the frustration I deal with during the day, echoed or amplified in the dreams. When my dreams take a sexual turn, I usually wake up within seconds. :sigh:





As an aside; Does anyone else have the uncanny ability to wake up 2 minutes before your alarm clock? Mine, no matter what time I set it for, will always go off after I've already woken. It only happens when I have it set to go off, never under any other circumstances. And it doesn't matter what odd time I set it for, because I'll wake up before it goes off. Almost in anticipation.





I'm strange.

Yeah Flip, mine are like that too. Like the one I described above, it's in all places I recognise. Some of the places are intermingled with others, like a certain building on a different street. Or sometimes I'm at college, but it's not college, it's infact my old school, but the people in the dream are a mixture from the past.

Edit: Yeah, I always wake up before my alarm. I usually turn it off before it goes off.

dreams.........

when im dreaming, I can instantly recognize it for the damn re-run it is; yet at the same time when I wake up I cant for the life of me remember it. Of course, it isnt always reruns...but sure as hell feels like it....tends to get boring after a while :p

Yes, I can wake up before my alarm goes off. I'm good at that, if nothing else.

I tend to dream about things that haven't happened yet... I'll have an oddly realistic dream, then hours, days, or even weeks later, when I'm still pondering that dream, it actually happens. Odd...
