Ever have a dream that you just can't forget?

About 30 years ago as a 10 year old, I had this this dream that I had crashed my car.

As I was being wheeled into a hospital or on a stretcher I asked:
"What gear was I in"?

I think about this all the time. Is that crazy?

Well, what gear were you in?

legion · 03-02-2008, 07:11 PM

Yes.

I have several. Dozens. They go all the way back to when I was 5. (25 years ago.)

All that I remember have one of two themes. Different circumstances, but only two basic themes. I won't go into them, as they would give OT fodder for years and make a psychologist blush.

I will say that in one of the themes, I often have the ability to fly. Not like Superman, but I can swim in the air. I usually do the sidestroke.

I have a recurring flying dream too.

There is a fairly strong wind and I am leaning into it with my arms spread and when I lean forward sometimes I catch enough wind to get lift. I don't "launch" every time and when aloft it takes some effort to stay in flying mode and avoiding stalling.

These dreams are very realistic and loosely tied to waking physics.

Best,

Kurt

I dream in color.

Sometimes I can go back to sleep and resume.

I seem to be able to make myself wake up from the funky ones.

Spill, or did you wake up before you found out? Is it a recurrent dream?

Do you remember what kind of car it was; what was so striking about the dream that it is sticking in your mind?

You blew your engine?

trekkor · 03-02-2008, 08:26 PM

I woke up before I found out.

No idea what car.

One time dream. I just have never forgotten it.

Yes, I just blew my motor.

That's another thread...

My blown motor!

has anyone had a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

trekkor · 03-02-2008, 08:56 PM

Yes!! Well, no.

Sort of, but they were great big pickles

I have a recurring dream. It involves:

I used to have dreams where I was still in college or grad school, at the end of the semester, and I just found out that I didn't actually drop a class that I thought I dropped. So I was signed up all along, but never went to any of the classes, never read any of the books, etc.

And now it is too late to drop the class. I have to take the final, and have 1 or 2 days to study for it.

I had that dream quite a bit when I worked in a high stress environment. Other people there also had that exact same dream! So it sounds pretty common among people that have had a similar experiences. I haven't been in an ultra high stress work environment for many years now, and have not had that dream in many years.

When I was a kid I would dream I could fly. I'd be in the breezeway at my elementary school, and if I caught the wind just right, and ran and flapped my arms just right, I could elevate. It wasn't easy, not like soaring like a bird, and I couldn't always do it.

The Reagan shooting and Mt. St. Helens erupting both sparked dreams i haven't forgotten.

One dream was quite repetitive and involved bigfoot chasing me down a street and me ducking into a tourist shop and browsing for postcards. The thought of bigfoot peering through my window just weighted heavily on me when i was a youngster.

Have a variation of the flying thing as well.

You've had that one too, eh?

I used to get that one so real I'd wake up in a sweat and couldn't tell if it was a dream or real. It was creepy.

Most times I don't remember my dreams. Which is just as well, 'cause the ones I do remember are usually even more f*cked up than my reality is.

I have that college one occasionally too. I also have ones where I can't walk--my legs just don't work hardly at all. I'll need to get somewhere--no luck.
