Weird Dreams You Have

[Wood]

I don't want to de-rail the UofA thread, so I'll start a new one

Troutman brought up the exam day dreams and apparently it quite common

One recurring dream I'll have is ill be eating something and some teeth will fall out. As I'm chewing I'll bite the teeth and more will crack and fall apart

Random one, but just last night I had a dream the Flames lost a game 18-1

In the years after finishing University (4-5 yrs) I would have a couple of different dreams. One was the school showed up and demanded the degree back. The other was that I forgot something very important for school. It often changed, missed an exam, didn't register for the correct class etc.

I still have a couple of bad dreams a year that relate back to my tour in Yugo. I wake up angry and violent. It is a horrible feeling, and scares me.

Another common dream I have is where I can levitate and float around the neighborhood.

i rarely remember my dreams

i went to africa about 15 years ago and the malaria medication gave me awesome dreams. i don't remember any specifics of them, but i do recall they were off the wall weird!

I have very weird dreams especially when I'm stressed.

I used to have an ongoing first person view dream where I was flying over the land and everything that my shadow touched withered and died.

I had a dream last week where I ate my own brain, that one was disturbing.

I had a dream where I was hung in the old west.

My wife also has a dream that I am hung.

I get both the "all my teeth are falling out" and "I have a final exam for a course I didn't attend for the entire semester" dreams. The latter is especially weird since I graduated from university over 12 years ago.

I'm currently on Champix. One of the amusing side effects is really vivid dreams. Last night I played Batman: Arkham city for an hour and then watched Drugs Inc. As a result, I had a crazy vivid dream about getting my wallet stolen by a drug dealer and went on a batman like rampage of beating the tar out of gang members.

Was a pretty good one actually.

I'll have the odd one where Ill be free falling or else might have done something really horrible that is weighing on my conscious or something along those lines.

No word of a lie though, more often than not I have pretty awesome dreams about Zombie survival or where I'm fighting monsters with a group of people. Never horrific or anything and most of the time I wake up before I've won the day or else have met my untimely demise.. Just last night I'm pretty sure my mind was trying to re-create the Reavers from Firefly!

Too many TV shows and video games perhaps and/or an over active imagination. But I'll take it!

I always have dreams that I will be late for something important; like catching a plane or missing an exam.. both of which have happened in real life. It actually makes me pretty anxious when it comes to getting to the airport.

I have something similar where I bite down so hard all my teeth shatter. I bet you grind your teeth or clench your jaw when you have that dream.

I have very vivid, very lucid dreams that I almost always remember. It's like a 2nd life I live. Some include...

-Dreaming of my friends who have died. Last night I had a dream about one of my buddies who passed away a while back and we were just chilling like old times.
-There is this one mansion that I always dream about. I remember every detail about it. Every couple weeks I'll have a dream where I'm either having a party in it, having dinner in it, sleeping in it, or swimming in the pool. It's always the exact same house with the same layout everytime I dream about it.
-I've also had the teeth falling out dream. Recently, instead I've been dreaming about picking meat out of my teeth. The chunks keep getting bigger and bigger each time.
-I used to always dream about me being oppressed. Either someone trying to cause me harm or chase me down. A couple years ago I got jumped at bar and got the #### beat out of me. Ever since then, whenever I have dreams like that I'm always fighting back and I usually win. That event obviously had something to do with how I react in dreams like that.
-I've had dreams before where I've figured out math problems. I never remember what the equations are or how they relate to me in real life. It might very well be garbage. But in my dreams I'm suddenly some math expert.
-I also took french immersion in grade school. Sometimes I'll have dreams that are completely in french and I still understand everything.
-I always have dreams about being back in school with all my classmates I grew up with, all of us sitting in the same room with the same people just as it was years ago.


I also lucid dream quite often. I find that if I tell myself throughout the day that I will have one, that it works. I can also resume dreams when I wake up and continue where they left off. Lots of little tricks I do while sleeping to make me consciously aware and achieve a lucid state. I also use a trick to always continue my dreams from where I left off. Nothing more annoying then waking up from a cool dream and being upset you didn't get to experience the ''conclusion''.

Exam dreams, 30 years later

Also a variation on levitation where I jump like a long jump but instead on landing I continue to surf about a foot off the ground like I'm on a skateboard made of air

So most of you know I am waiting on surgery to have my gallbladder out. Still no date yet as I have had prior surgery on my stomach from a car accident and he wants to do a CAT scan to see if laparoscopic is possible, he is thinking it will not be which means open surgery the old way. Personally I don't care, bigger scar, more recovery time, whoop dee doo, get this damn thing out of me, but I keep having the same dream once a night that I go in and get the open done and I don't come out of the anethesia. I can see my body lying there and it has been days and I am not breathing on my own, won't come back to consciousness, and they end up pulling the plug. I never get recurring dreams, ever. I think it is just from the stress of trying to work through these stupid attacks and waiting, I just want it done. I don't believe in premonition dreams. It is unsettling though.

Heyo!!

When I take melatonin my dreams get very vivid and quite weird.

[edslunch]

The other one is I'm late for something important but I can't find my socks (or some other thing I need) and I go on this excruciating journey of trying to get myself ready but ending up two hours late

OT, but we had family up from the states a couple of weeks ago, and they give their 8 yr old and 11 yr old melatonin before bed every night.



It seems crazy to me.
