Dreaming of...

Ista,
Not only do I dream, but I talk in my sleep. I dream nonstop it seems, all night long. I remember most of my dreams or remember them enough so that when some little thing sparks their memory I have recall. It makes for not very restful sleep. But colorful I must say.

I don't dream as often as I used to. I used to have lucid dreams almost every time I closed my eyes, but now I can't remember the last time I had one. I have a bunch of specific dreams I've always remembered... some from my childhood, some because they were particularly intense, or terrifying. I know that I can hear sound in my dreams, I dream in color, and I am a true skeptic even in my dreams. For example, I've seen deceased people or animals in dreams, and thought to my dream-self "That's impossible. That person/animal is dead." I've also dreamed that I've awoken from a dream- it is in these moments that I believe you are teetering with reality, and it's about as close to madness as you can get and still return.

I rarley remember my dreams but I do wake myself up talking , yelling , screaming ect. one time I woke up exhausted because i was kicking my legs back and forth like i was running. My hubby tells me about it or wakes me when I get too loud. Its a bit embarrassing and sure wish I knew what had me excited like that.

I have all kinds of dreams. I dream of places and people I have never been to before or met. Somtimes I see those who have passed on. The strangest ones is when I seem to be there watching everything going on and I am one of the people I see and am watching. I used to have nightmares as a child, but I was really sick for a while and running very high fevers. They were so real though that I would wake up and still see it going on. One of them I remember my mother shaking me telling me to wake up and I was trying to tell her I was awake but I was still seeing these worm things about 2 inches around and about 6 inches long half grey and half white coming out of my wall. I have dreamt of seeing myself sleeping and seeing the bed falling straight through all the levels of the house and could feel the sensation of falling. I would always awake before it hit the basement floor. So I guess you could say I have some very strange dreams at times.

Yeah, I have those ODD dreams. I spent the morning, a few years back, writing down a dream I'd had. I had so much detail and whatnot, but I had to stop writing because my hand cramped so badly from the PAGES I'd wrote about half a dream. I went in and had my roomie read it and she asked me if I'd taken crack before sleep. LMAO Since then, I've been more selective about which dreams I share with people, lol.

LOL, I can understand the feeling. I think most people have odd dreams at times. I have also written some of them down because they were so real and detailed.

yes hubby wakes me up alot Ista. One morning I remember being happy , I was laughing so hard I woke myself up laughing. I opened my eyes and there is hubby sitting in his computer chair by the bed just looking at me. That struck me as so funny I think I laughed uncontrollable some more for another 10 minutes before I fell back to sleep

Lillen... do you miss dreaming as much?

Lol... yes, because at least they were an indication I had actually fallen into a deep sleep! That happens so rarely these days.

I too remember most of my dreams. I feel like I am really awake and doing some of the things I dream about. I have woken up laughing or crying or my heart racing, like I had been scared or something.

I have talked in my sleep and I have even gotten up and straightened up my bed and then I get back in and go to sleep, LOL! I don't think I have ever walked in my sleep though. My 16 year old daughter walks in her sleep, she even goes to the refrigerator and opens it up.
