I have two types that I love but rarely get to see. First is when I dream entire movies with a beginning, middle, and end. Bonus points if the movie is insanely surreal and sci-fi. The dreams I've had like this I still remember even after such a long time. And the other is dreams that have music in them. They're the most interesting songs but I can never remember how they go after I wake up so I'll never be able to hear it again.
Movie dreams are the best
The ones where I have a "boyfriend'. Like... I don't even know if this character is my bf. Sometimes it's a faceless character, sometimes it's just one of friends..... Whatever it is, we have sex, cuddle n stuff. It feels rlly nice!
Sex!
The mess in the real world is inconvenient, but meh, worth it.
Does anyone else have cock block dreams? Sometimes I'm trying to get down with the person but everything gets in the way, it's frustrating lol
Tiddies and flying. I'm a simple man.
What about flying tiddies?
I haven't yet but maybe tonight now that it's in my head.
I dream very, very infrequently, partially because of hypophantasia, partially because I learned lucid dreaming interferes with my sleep (it really isn't that healthy), and also I've sort of stunted my dreaming. To explain, during a time when my outlook on the dreaming process was different, it used to be I primarily dreamt about people I missed. Such dreams were my glory, but then I'd wake up and the realization it was a dream once again would hit me hard.
One night I had such a dream, it became lucid, and I discovered that, despite being emotionally numb in real life which meant I have a hard time crying, in my dream I gravitated towards crying, and it felt unnaturally natural because I wouldn't have expected it if I don't gravitate towards crying in real life. It came to a point when I didn't want to dream anymore, even if I never dreamt that often in the first place, so I pushed my ability to do so far, far away.
Woah, are you okay?
Okay? Yes. Satisfactory? Meh. I know life circumstances have demonstrated they could be better than they are. I've lost a few people in life in ways that are particularly difficult to think back on. I go about myself normally but I'd be lying to say I could confirm the parts of my mind I may be neglecting have or will ever see itself as beyond all that.
I'm sorry to hear it, and I hope you are being kind to yourself.
Exploring. Sprawling woods, giant mansions, stairways leading down from basements or subways. With or without chasing a mysterious figure or a mysterious figure chasing me.
Dreams that feel like a creation
- Moving through some amazing scenery (waterfalls and the sea always look great) and knowing this is all part of your imagination.
- Trying food with really weird flavors that still taste great. I don't like food that much in real life.
- A specific type of dream where you experience the plot in 1st person but there is also a voice over that you kinda control, in the style of a book. It's a bit weird but became much more frequent after I started reading more. Anybody else get this?
Being in a romantic relationship. Actually, I don't remember having a good dream about anything else.
Teeth falling out
It said favorite dream, not worst nightmare.
Long time ago, someone told me that it means that someone will die or actually did. Few years after that, I had that dream. Family member died.
Had the same dream two more times, same result.
It was always me, pulling my own teeth, one by one.
Edit: They died when I was asleep. Not after during the day.
I really envy people that can remember their dreams. I just close my eyes to sleep and wake up like time didnt pass
I really envy people who don't remember their dreams. I wish I could teleport through the night instead of waking up scared and anxious.
I heard about a strategy for remembering dreams that did work for me, but to be fair, I already occasionally remembered dreams, I just wanted to remember them more frequently and with more detail.
The moment I wake up, I write down absolutely anything I can remember about my dream. I found that as I was writing, some details would come back to me. After a few weeks doing this, I was remembering many details from my dreams nearly every night, and even having what seems like more vivid dreams.
I did stop doing et EVERY day, cause for me, I just wanted to know if it actually works, but writing first thing in the morning every day felt like too much trouble. If I have an especially weird or vivid dream I do still like to write it down quickly just for the novelty of having a record of your own dreams.
If we ever have the tech, I would love to have something that records dreams. I would spend so much money to be able to watch my dreams again.
Dreams where I’m someone completely different. Doesn’t matter which gender or whatever, just that I’m living a different life. I sometimes have dreams where I have a very consistent identity, like I know I am that person.
I don’t mean for this to sound depressing, my own life is fine. I just really like pretending to be different people :)
I love dreaming of traveling. I enjoy the fantastic adventures I have in my mind that inspire me to see more of the world!
Fixing systems
yeah I know I'm weird
I hardly remember my dreams and when I do (which is usually if it has been interesting) I generally wake at some crucial point which is very annoying.
At some point my nightmares just turned into exciting adventures that can be scary but not horrifying. I kinda like those. I'd especially like to visit this abandoned factory again I once dreamt of but the dream ended with the building being demolished, and in the future dreams there's only been the foundations left and apparently my autistic, logical mind doesn't turn off even when I'm dreaming so ofcourse that building can't just magically respawn for me.
My SO says I make noises indicating I'm not having a good time but I never wake up thinking I'm glad it's over. I often dream about zombies or being at war but I like those dreams.
My absolute favorite thing is exploring big buildings (hotels, schools, etc.), especially if there is a surreal element to how different areas are connected.
NOTHING~ I don't like dreaming.
I'd tell you, if I could remember any of my dreams or what they were about
At first i thought it was about day dreaming...most of people do not remember most of their dreams, and nobody can choose the themes...Is real this question?
I love having really bizarre dreams, the weirder the better.
I had a dream where I was some kinda high ranking engineer on a super weird interstellar craft designed by my partner, and during the dream I was vividly remembering other missions I had been on, and that's what really stuck with me when I woke up, the fact that I had memories of a past that didn't exist, and somehow upon waking, those memories stuck stronger than the proper dream portions. This was at a time where I was dream journalling so reading back I can recall a lot of details.
So yeah, I like my dreams weird.
