Congratulations, Wendy!

Too bad I came around too late! I lost the password to my other username and had to create another one with a 2 in it.

I just read over the questions that were given. I really hope this isn't true! I remember too many dreams and it'd become a full time job! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it is true <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> but if you keep a dream journal, you will tend to act on them without thinking much about it.

The voices in my head tell me that you should work toward interpreting dreams for yourself and others.....I'm psychotic, you know.....I mean, psychic...... <img src="/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Yup, I keep a dream journal. You can find it here if you're curious to glance at it:

Nothing wrong with being psychotic... or psychic. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hi DreaminDragon2. I took a quick peek at your dream journal as this is all strange and new to me. You sure do dream a lot. I have been told that we dream every night, we just do not remember all our dreams. Taking what I have learned from this site about dreaming, and looking back, I still feel I do not often dream. There have been a few strange dreams that made no sense at all throughout my life, and then the life-like dreams that make me wake up and I am either glad I woke up, or sad I woke up. To think that people actually dream that often is totally new to me, and I am going to have to think about this some more. The dreams I mentioned in the forum (dying, missing, tornadoes, etc.) have all been spread out over the period of several years, with a time span of 1 1/2 years from the date of a dream until it actually came true, to the baby snake dream when I saw the little critter 3 hours after I woke up. The cat went missing approximately one week after I dreamed one of mine died. I also have noticed in these dreams: the cat that disappeared was not the one I dreamed about, and the daughter that something happened to was not the one I dreamed about. The three dreams about my daughter were over the course of two weeks. Your dream journal must keep you busy! Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks firefly! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, people dream even if they don't remember it. From what I can understand - and it's a very horrible explanation and I may have misunderstood it - When people go to sleep, the brain hallucinates, thus dreaming. I don't know if it's because of a chemical that is released or something. I read this all from some article where they were trying to make these pills that eliminates sleep altogether. Problem was, people were hallucinating. I think dreams are necessary even if you don't remember any. Well, moving away from that topic since I know very little...

Dreams have been a very big part of my life. While kids at my age were just dealing with other things, I let my dreams influence me in a big way that annoyed my parents. I just had neverending nightmares while growing up that I remembered them every single day. Now, I don't have nightmares except once in a great long while but I believe that nightmares made me more... I don't know the term... 'skillful'?... in remembering dreams.

Sometimes I had dreams that would be at one place. There was this place where there were three basketball courts. You'd be at one court, then travel a bit to another court (sometimes crossing a street), then travel a bit (I believe there were these woods I had to pass through and I remember there were boards I had to step on because it was flooded) to reach another basketball court. Then, beyond that was this wooden wall. Beyond it was a swamp. In my dreams, I'd always talk to people when I was passing the courts and at the end, I'd always reach this wall to watch the swamp before I left to do other things or woke.

Well, one morning... I came downstairs and I just blubbered into my cereal bowl. My mother wanted to know why I was distraught. I told her about this place and I explained, "I can never go back there again!" Funny thing is, I didn't have any dreams that told me that I could never go back. I just somehow knew I could never go back and I never did.

My current dreams, I never return to the same place. Often times, I'll mention "I'm on the base in NY" but that never really is the "dream place" because it is a location I lived at at one point in time.

Do you believe you only remember dreams because they were 'traumatizing' or 'disturbing' in a way?

One thing that annoys me... I could remember a dream in its entirety and just when I roll over in bed and pick up the pen to write in the dream journal - the dream disappears and I just can't remember what happened.

Dragon, you definitely are a Dreamin' Dragon! Your journal is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing it. We have a category in the resources for dream diaries. May I post yours?

Yes, sleep deprivation does cause hallucinations! Delta is the deepest, most restorative stage of sleep. Many of us fail to get there often enough. Lack of quality sleep can cause physical and mental health problems.

Some people do, but I don't believe that it's the "norm." People who only remember disturbing dreams usually fail to believe that our dreams are so valuable in understanding ourselves and our lives. People who understand this will remember all kinds of dreams, even the just plain silly ones. I had a doozy last night! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> but I do believe that it has meaning.

*nods* There is a transition in brain waves from sleep to wakefulness that causes a lapse. If you don't catch the dream, it's gone. This is why it's so important to at least lie there for a few minutes to remember your dream. Sometimes we can remember a dream smack in the middle of the day. I haven't found anything yet that explains that.

I'm so glad you joined this forum. Your participation is going to benefit many members! I'm also glad to see you, firefly. With dreams, it's always helpful to have several sources of input. We're always learning!
