Nope. Only sometimes wake up with the notion that I was dreaming about something really weird.

I definitely remember my dreams. If you are a creative person, it can be helpful to write them down right away in a notebook you keep by the bed, perhaps in an end table.

i had a great dream last night that I was a sex therapist, (I kid you not), and I recorded messages to the woman I was "helping out" on a stack of vintage audio equipment. It was Yamaha gear. The woman was someone famous, but that's as much as I'm giving away for free. :)

I honestly have no clue WTF it means, other than maybe I'm due for some vitamin P. Hoping. :)

I have an interesting story, for you dream theorists.

I was a lawyer for 13 years. Back then, our files were kept on paper, in manila folders, with deadlines written on slips of paper and in big red calendar books. It wasn't until the end of my career that litigation calendaring software was being used. Basically you had to keep track of deadlines manually. And if you were busy, every day you had two, three, five critical deadlines across the fifty or so cases you were handling. Critical meaning if you did not get a brief filed or a document served or a form delivered by 4:30 pm that day, your client's case was prejudiced and you had committed malpractice. Kind of a nightmare. Ulcer stuff.

So, I don't normally remember my dreams. But during those 13 years, if I did wake up and remembered a dream, that was my sign to rush to the office and physically search through every single case and find the deadline that I had miscalendared and forgotten. I'd find it, and make the deadline. It worked EVERY SINGLE TIME.

When I stopped being a lawyer, my "dream alert" stopped too. My dreams no longer alert me to companies that are about to miss earnings or stocks that are about to blow up. Bummer.

I keep a log of my dreams to see if I can find a pattern to them. They usually revolve around water...ocean to be more precise. At least a couple times a month I will have a dream where I remember it.

For some sleeping on a side or their abdomen can help as it can prevent relaxed soft tissue from collapsing the airway.

Some think OSA folks die in their sleep when blood CO2 rises enough to cause changes which prevent them from waking to clear their airway...game over with no obvious cause for death.

OSA also causes atrial fibrillation in about 50% of those who have it.

I remember my dreams some of the time. I think the deeper I sleep, the more favorable it is that I will remember them.

I used to, and maybe still do, have a dream that my rotation date from VietNam came and the people in charge lost my papers, I couldn't leave. Felt like Charlie on the MTA.

Interesting. Twenty two years later and I have the exact same nightmare. Nearing finals and suddenly realize I never attended a class I was enrolled in. I graduated from SDSU so that might be a factor :)

Lucid dreaming rocks.

You are dreaming...and then you realize you are dreaming...and then you can control it.

During the dream, you will suddenly realize "hey, this is kinds f''''ed up....maybe this is a dream". You can test yourself in the dream by holding your nose and trying to breathe: if you can still breathe....yep, you are dreaming...from there on, it's up to you where you go.

Takes some practice

This is much more common than most people realize--and people have been having dreams like this since the beginning of recorded history (there are written records of such dreams from ancient China--rather than school the dreams were related to civil service exams). The going theory is that these types of dreams reflect a time of transition from child/student to adulthood.

Mine is always about an English class that I never attended and never wrote any of the required papers. Must be because I hate writing, and I was always afraid I wouldn't graduate because of some inane liberal arts requirement (I was an engineering student). :D

I've also had a few dreams that I wanted to use as the basis for a sci fi novel or two...but cf. my comment above about writing. :(

I rarely remember my dreams. One of my favorites is flying in my dreams.

This. I've been lucid dreaming for years. Its pretty killer.

Sometimes I solve problems in my dreams.

I also have a recurring dream that the outcome of a real life event is changed. I love that one, it 's almost like a daydream, but is so real when I wake up it takes a few seconds to come back to reality.

I seem to have more "bounce" dreams than just flying dreams. Where you kind of bounce up and fly around for a while and glide back down to bounce up again. Probably some kind of symbolism there, but I think it's kind of cool to just bounce.:)

Ditto...and I also graduated from SDSU...home of the mighty Jackrabbits!!! What are the odds??:)

pavulon 02-15-2013 02:38 PM

I asked a fella I know if he ever is in his wheelchair during a dream...he says he is always able to walk in all of his dreams. I've also never met anyone who doesn't fly in their dreams.

Damn, is it just me because I seem to only remember bits and pieces of my dreams. I remember one from last night, again only little bits of it. I am surprise so many people remember them so clearly.

This is apparently a VERY common dream to have.

I also had it for near 40 years after getting out of undergrad............

weird.

GH85Carrera 02-16-2013 05:14 AM

I remember a few dreams. I never have nightmares. I do have the opposite of a nightmare, a nightfunny? I often wake up giggling. My wife wakes me up sometimes because I am giggling in my sleep and making so much noise she can't sleep. I usually forget the dream in a few hours unless I talk about it. The dream is never as funny when I am awake. I have always believed dreams are just your brain doing house cleaning. They have no profound meaning at all.
