How can we help you if we don't know what your dream is about.

I'll trade your recurring dream for my ######ed up pregnancy ones... I had 4 doozies that I remember from yesterday. One of them was a big CP party on a dock on some lake.

Have you tried lucid dreaming? I'm sure Google will have a whack of pages of info.

Once I learned how to lucid dream I stopped having the recurring ones, as I could make changes however I saw fit. Eventually I got so good at it that I could also stop any nightmares too; by bringing in any object I wanted. Nothing is better at stopping a dinosaur from chasing you than firing a BFG at it.

Freaky, isn't a risk of lucid dreaming not knowing when reality stops and dreaming begins?

I.e. you think you are lucid dreaming and jump off a building?

I wish I knew how to lucid dream. I've gone as far as buying a book on it, but have yet to be able to achieve it.

I have a tonne of recurring dreams.... almost every dream i have I have had in some form before. I used to wake up in cold sweats all the time.

I learned long ago to control what happens and wake myself up if it gets to messed up.

I have entire buildings and places mapped out like a big video game. I know exactly where to travel and where to avoid problems, and in some cases I can forgo the whole adventure and just walk right up to the ending.

I dont think that matters actually. It's very personal anyway so I wouldn't share it. I just wish it would go away

I can never remember my dreams, sometimes I'll wake up and be extremely relived that it was just a dream but I don't know why.

I had a dream last night where I was car jacked by asian actor James Hong. He was going to let me go until I told him I loved him in "Big Trouble in little china" and he kicked me out of the car and backed over me.

I had a night/morning last week where I must have had about 15 very vivid dreams, each lasting for what seemed to be 3-5 minutes and I'd wake up after each one confused. By 5:30 am I was so unbelievably irritated. They weren't even interesting ... like needing to go out and buy 2 liters of Orange Juice or something mundane like that. The worst part was the fact that I'd have to think about it for about 20 seconds to figure out if I actually had to go buy juice/do a load of laundry/go get a key cut.

Sorry, I'm ranting and not helping. Dreams are tricky as they are not well understood. My overwhelmingly simplistic advice would be that something is on your mind (forefront or not) and perhaps that something needs to be dealt with. I know I always dream more when I'm procrastinating at work and begin to feel anxiety over it.

Oh my gosh, I remember that happening to me when I was pregnant.

I had some seriously bizarre dreams.
