I was listening to NPR the other day and this one guy who wrote a book about dreams said that we all generally dream the same things despite how odd and seemingly random they are. I'm not sure if that's really true. I just found that interesting.
I guess it makes sense in a way. Sure, you are different than me but we both have brains. They may think in different ways but they both have all of the same functions like a liver or a heart does. Sleep is sleep as long as we both are healthy and functional.
 
Most of the time I find dreams to be really fun and exciting, but one time I had a dream where I sat in my computer chair for an hour and a half and put on a baseball cap. Not continuously putting it on and taking it off either... Just putting it on once and sitting with a hat on doing nothing else.

Little did I know that a few days later that dream would turn out to be a prophecy...
 
Well, I also had a fucked up dream about 4 days ago! It was soo fucking real it was awesome and sad at the same time! I was driving down the road and I see this fucking gorgeous girl walking so I stop and offer a ride. She was smokin, looked a lot like the chick dax loves soo much!:lol I bring her back to my place and we talk, all of a sudden I offer her some heroin! :lol She declined, and so I just put it aside and sat down beside her. The rest of the dream was off and on at that point, I continued to try and have sex with her, and just got some tongue out of her! The last thing I remember I got up and offer her the drugs again and she said yes! THEN, my fucking alarm went off for work! Two or three more hours of sleep and that dream would have been awesome! It was just one of those dreams.. your pissed when you wake up!

Well the dream I had once you don't even want to know. I even have a ventrilo recording of it when I was telling some good buddies of mine about it. I think its best people don't know about it though, for my sake. lol

Twilight involved hah!??:lol
 
I haven't slept enough to dream, lately. But I used to have a dream about being in a shopping cart and going flying down a giant hill.
 
I had a dream a couple years back and I'm posting it only cuz I think it was awesome and I also think only other gamers could respect it's awesomeness.

I woke up in the basement from the Blair Witch Project. I saw two dead bodies, one in each corner, and had very little light. Then I heard the sound of Predator clacking. It was circling me and I only had a hunting knife on me. He slashed at me a couple times, playing with me. Then, as if by divine inspiration, I remembered that I had learned once how to see that which was not meant to be seen-- Grey Fox, or as the old timers call him Frank Jaeger. Immediately I remembered what I had to do to track Grey Fox in Metal Gear Solid 1, and used that information immediately, catching Predator off guard and driving thru his neck with my hunting blade, killing him.

I then woke up, much like Neo in the Matrix, and said, "I can kill Predator."


I'm not even making any of that up. :lol don't know if that's good for bad, but at least it's awesome.

Wow, that's one huge nerdgasm. I like the way you think.
 
I have a recurring dream that it's the last day of senior year in high school and I don't ask out my crush. I wish I had the balls to ask her out back then (over the course of the two years we flirted and hung out together) because apparently her visage will haunt me from now until the day I die.

I'll never understand how people remember all the intricacies of their dreams.

The most I can remember is none of the people in my dreams have faces, but I know who they all are.
 
A lot of my really vivid dreams are messed up and don't make too much sense if I put them into a story, but I have noticed that they run along various themes:

1) I sometimes dream that my girlfriend breaks up with me. I seem to take it OK at first, but when I try to move on in the dream and date other girls, I'm just never happy, even with the supermodel types. It's like I'm about to get laid with Rose Byrne, Nigella Lawson and Beyonce and I stop them to say "I'm sorry, I can't do this. I'm still in love with [girlfriend's name]. I'm so sorry.". These dreams mess me up so bad and I wake up all sad and having to convince myself that we're still together AND I feel guilty about trying to get with Rose Byrne/Nigella Lawson/Beyonce.

2) I'm in trouble at work/uni/high school because I didn't hand something in on time. The worst part is that in these dreams I don't get a promotion or don't graduate as a result.

3) I solve all the world's problems with a simple, elegant solution or invent something that will make me super rich. I then wake up and have forgotten what it was.

4) I haven't had this dream in years, but as a teenager, I'd sometimes dream that a smiling naked girl would be in bed with me. Usually, it would be just your regular happy dream, but one time, it felt so real, I woke up half-convinced that it actually happened. The way it ended, we were basking in the afterglow (she was literally glowing - a bit like how Claire Danes does in Stardust) and she gives me a cheeky smile and disappears. I then fall over a bit (I was leaning some weight onto her) and watched as the blankets slowly collapse over the hole she left behind.
 
Some good dreams in here. Its fun to read different peoples experiences.


Anywayz I've had several dreams. Most of the time I when I dream I'm well..."Me" but others I'm Lan a super hero type character I created with my imagination. Its really feels awsome when I'm Lan.

Ive had dreams that seemed like they were based on my imagination. Also in my dreams I always seem to stay calm, never get scraed or anything and I'm always in control of the dream (Never third person dreams)

The biggest example is I was Lan and I was at some kinda carnival. There was some kinda super villain in the dream and he was hurting the people there. I used my flying and Electric Super Powers (My character's two main powers but he has others) to fight. It was awsome we were both flying and fighting in the sky. As soon as I beat him I woke up.

I've also had more realer feeling dreams. That were based on nothing I was thinking about. As "me" I woke up (In the dream) in my room and saw a spirit who was writing something on the wall (Dont know what) He seemed friendly at first but then he got voilent and threw me across the room (Another thing is I always feel pain in my dreams which is odd yet nice for some reason) I then realized it was a dream (Which I'm never able to realize its a dream when I'm dreaming) but the spirit said that it did'nt matter. As long as I died here my physical body would die. I knew that it was'nt a dream. Not a normal dream. He started choking me but I was able to push him back. As soon as I did I woke up.

But the main one that tops it off is the next one...the above two dreams have happened within the past couple months but this one happened a couple years ago. Also doing almost the entire next dream I was counting in my head the seconds as it went by. I was in this dream for about a hour.

I woke up in my bed as I normally do. I got up and opened the door (Which leads to the hallway) as soon as I got into the hallway I could feel that I was half asleep half awake because I then felt my physical body (I could feel my physical body yet I could move my Dream body. It seemed pretty cool to me) I focused and was able to open my eyes!

HURRAY! I'm awake! I get up and go outside in the hall...but it happened again...I could feel my physical body agaiin. I was actually able to see in the dream and move my physical body's eyes. I kept moving them and after a few minutes I woke up!

I then said to myself "Ok...thats two False Awakenings...but I'm up now..." I got outta the bed and went into the hall...and I felt my physical body again. I started laughing and I figured it out. It was a test or a game that I had to beat. I focused and woke up!

It took even LONGER to wake up (About 5 minutes)and I kept track that it was the third time I woke up.

It kept happening again and again each time it took me longer and longer to "Wake up" but I knew each time I woke up it was a different level of the game and I knew I could beat it.

After the 10th time (Yes the 10th time) I woke up, stepped into the hall and knew...I was awake.

:lol :lol :lol

Most awsome dream(s) ever. I wish it would happen again! (I always like the "Adventure" of all my dreams...I just like being in Dreams...)

Anywayz: Just had to share. i hope others share the experience in the dream dimensions. Fun reading them.
 
I usually just see black the majority of the time. Yay! :(

Then there's other times where I'll be dreaming about some upcoming event or something, which is really weird since it causes me to have deja vu's.

Also, I don't think I've ever had an actual nightmare before. Am I missing out on those?

OP, the meaning of your dream is pretty clear to anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of these things. It's probably best if you try and figure it out yourself. Think about it: creepy male with beard, going around hitting any female he wants with his long metal pipe...you standing around being too afraid to join him...flashes of graphic imagery...

Sex. Your subconcious thinks you need to get laid. From the sounds of this dream, I take it that you're not really an alpha male, and haven't had a girlfriend lately? Maybe a tad longer than lately?


It's pretty good how much of your dream you were able to remember. I don't remember shit, to the extent that I'm not even sure if I dream half the time.

I never thought of it like that. I'm horrible with this dream interpretation stuff. But that actually makes perfect sense. I've never really thought of myself as an alpha male and I generally try to avoid interactions with women to avoid awkward situations. Usually I'm the guy in the background. Maybe this is a sign I need to give this lady thing a good shot and not worry about the consequences so much. Thanks Tonay.

I hate it when something happens in the dream that you try to record something, but then you wake up and realised you never wrote anything.

One dream I was like 'fuck yeah this dream is awesome. I'm going to take lots of photos to show people when I wake up.' Then I woke up. :(
 
I once dreamt with Kojima-San.
 
Meh, I always forget my dreams. Just this morning I remember waking up thinking about the dream I was having but can't remember the damn dream anymore. :P
 
Okay, so I had one last night that I was driving on Maui and went down some road that doesn't really exist, to a Safeway that doesn't really exist. I go inside and it's small, like the size of a 7-11. Johnny Depp is there and he's dressed like some early 1900s sideshow promoter or something, and he recommends this movie to me. It's on VHS, it's in a blue box, and it's starring him and Lionel Richie, and it takes place on a paddleboat. Then he goes, "You know, you can't apply to work here unless you live here. I know what you've applied to, I've been following you online", and then I woke up. What the hell?
 
Anybody ever occasionally dream about girls you haven't thought about in a long time, you may have had a little interest in them but never bothered to pursue in awhile?

I find it annoying actually. I used to dream more consistantly, if I like something enough I will dream about it eventually, but now I dream about always randome crap involving people from my past that I barely think about.
 
I've had dreams where I'll see people I haven't seen in 15+ years, but it's like we just saw each other yesterday. Then I'll wake up and wonder what happened to them, but figure that if they were important, they'd either be on my mind all the time, or I'd still be in touch with them.
 
Part of my dream from last night:

I was at some golf course with my dad, and he was giving some guy tips on how to do approach shots or something. He told the guy some line like "hey, the green is your stop, and the club is your locomotive. Now put it on the right track and make it happen" and the guy was all blown away like it was awesome advice. Then some other guy comes up and he's mad at me because of my shirt. I look down and it was a white t-shirt. At first I thought it was this Air Jordan shirt I used to have (that showed him making a puzzled face on the front and it said "why drive?" and on the back it showed just his legs in the air and it said "when you can fly!") but it wasn't Jordan. It was Hitler. Hitler, making the same puzzled face, and it says something about Jewish people. And on the back, there's a dead guy sitting half-melted in a bathtub full of chemicals, and standing behind the bath is a guy in an army outfit with a soup ladle, looking like he's eating out of the tub. Then I woke up.
 
I dreamt I was expounding the future of facebook in a forum, wich looked pretty cool with mind control and VR glassess that looked like oakleys, and I am not even a FB fan!


Also, now that I remember, the other night I dreamt I was in a huge building like the Toronto Needle, I was on top and the thing turned sideways and fell, we all were looking at each other very solemnly and saying this is it. And my mother was saying are you sure you're an atheist?. It was the scariest feeling i've had in my life, but then I realized it was taking too long and I woke up.
 
1.) I imagine myself up in this weird tower destroying stuff with Dante-like moves from DMC. Next thing I knew, I was instantly attending school with a bunch vampires and humans coexisting. For some reason, the vamps are all trying to convert me yet I was always able to dodge them and usually, they'd give up chase like bullies after awhile. Throughout that dream, my purpose was to find this girl who can transform and conceal herself into various forms to get away from the vamps and they too were looking for her.

2.) I'm lost in a house I strangely recognize yet don't. It was a combination of two houses I knew from my childhood - one was this specific relative's house and the other was mine from what I recall after. I was stranded for so long until I eventually found myself in my familiar bedroom to how it looked in elementary. The first thing I noticed was a knife in my hand, and in front of me, was this beautiful girl in front of me with a knife in her hand too. I recall yelling something like "try to kill me if you dare" and I manage to parry her attack. Then suddenly, an old friend helps me subdue her on the nearby bed and we begin restraining her and when I see her tears flowing down her face I almost felt the need to weep too and comfort her. I felt like embracing her to acknowledge whatever those tears meant but before that I started to see smoke. I went to the source and noticed my mother in the fire, and I signal for her to leave safely and for my friend to escort the girl out also. I managed to quickly go through the blazes and exit down a staircase spiraling downwards with no limits. After fleeing the scene, I approach a house and come face to face from what I assume was the arsonist and we engage in a fight. The next thing I knew I was competing in a 100-man melee against monsters in what felt like a Halo-universe.

Yeah, they're weird.... I dunno why I've been having these dreams the last few days. I blame my sleeping habit.
 
One time I had this horribly graphic dream where I killed my brother. It still haunts me from time to time...I felt horrible when I woke up.
 
90% of my dreams are depressing as hell.
My life however, isn't too bad. Unless it's just my subconscious telling me that my life sucks?

Oh my lord. These are the worst. Sometimes I wake up eager to go use whatever it is I bought in my dream, and then it hits me.
Anyways, I haven't had a memorable dream in years.
;-(
 
Lord Voldemort lived in my house and was wearing a baseball cap, trainers, a t-shirt and some running trousers. He was outside with his wand being a dick and pissing me off so i shouted at him and told him to fuck up, he looked at me and then went back into the house looking at the ground the whole time while muttering something about me under his breath.

:lol
 
I was sleeping in my badroom there is fridge behine my bed, somebody was sitting near the fridge but i just could not look up and see as it was dark it felt like something was holding me.

So I try like crazy to look back, and i just barrly see old woman sitting there and and in split second she just ran towards me

I could not move and she came and I closed my eyes and it felt like my soul was being taken away. I cried but it just kept going I opend my eyes I see two bloody red eyes , Old lady and shout and wake up. I did not go to sleep later on.

I had a dream that I was going bowling with some people including one Asian girl. When we got to the bowling alley, I look over at the Asian girl and she had morphed into Selena Gomez. I sat down at the scoring computer and chilled for a frame or two then turned to the computer, which by now had turned into a full featured desktop, and went on GAF to post about how I was bowling with Selena Gomez.

Then I had a dream last week where I was playing in a coed soccer league and the first female sub on my team was Taylor Swift. And she was really good.
 
I've had this dream where I murder some random guy, it was very real (it seemed real in my dream at least as I have never attempted this :lol ) I could feel his blood drenching my shirt as I hit him with a hammer in the head..... really awkward dream...

Another time I had a dream about getting shot 3 times, it was a few blocks away from my house and was standing with my cousin outside a convenience store when a drive by started happening, I remember telling my cousin to hit the floor but I still got shot 3 times in the back, I could feel the bullets penetrating my flesh, of course I don't know how an actual bullet feels but in my dream it feet like just a small cut.... woke up really nervous that day....

Today i had a nice dream about GAROU 2.
Pretty badass if you ask me.
 
I have been having a recurring dream for years in which I am traveling through miles and miles of ancient abandoned tunnels and ruins. Nothing is really out to get me except for the I guess it's all the video games I play, and their dark and gloomy environments. I don't mind because the adventure feels so real in the dream.

Either that or the dreams I usually have about new passages and rooms opening up in my house that go on forever. Kind of reminds me of the book House of Leaves for some reason.
 
The other night I had a dream in which I had a elementary school reunion but the fucked up thing was everyone was stil like around 10/11 years old, except me and this one girl that I knew back then that migrated to Denmark with her family. We were the only ones in our twenties. Mind you, haven't seen the girl since she left.

Last night I was dreaming I was in some sort of a travel trailer, and I heard water everywhere. I opened the door and it was next to the start of the fall of a waterfall. Like, the one you see in the trailer of Earth and the episode from the documentaries about fresh water. The view was awesome but I was kinda berating myself for picking such a dangerous place.
 
good story haha, thats pretty intense,but not as intense as falling in dream and waking up to the sensation
:p
 
When I was younger (between the ages of 12 through 17) I used to have a recurring dream where I would get in a fist fight with someone. However, whenever I went to throw a punch, my arm would move so slowly, no matter what I did.

During that period of my life, I may have had this dream 3 or 4 times, that I remember. Any ideas, GAF?
 
Last night I dreamed this psycho girl that's stalking my fiancee was kissing a blonde girl. I walked up to the psycho, rubbed my thumb across her bottom lip and then sucked my thumb a few seconds.

I said "you taste like pepperoni, we should make a pizza".

The blonde giggled, "what about crust?"

I pointed at psycho's ass, "It's between her cheeks".
 
i had a dream years ago where i had purchased the "Revolution" (it was before the Wii was even unveiled) and had to walk all the way to my house with the packge for whatever reason and on the way there was all kinds of hazards like car crashes, fires, ninjas, loose cattle, gangstas, buses and taxis hindering my progress. i was dodging bullets, finding open paths, running and hiding and at the same time keeping the package safe.
then at the end i make it safely to my house, unpack the console and hook it up (but without looking at it..) and just as soon as i'm going to start playing, i wake up and am like "wtf... :("

a similar dream i had earlier in a much lower scale involved me buying a GBA and then waking up just before playing it (the GBA was recently unveiled at the time)

i've had a few wet dreams also but those are too embarrasing to narrate.
