These Dreams......

[Slydell]

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth

Great song by Heart. But, I've been thinking about dreams again. I guess I always thought everyone had great dreams, etc. I was talking to an old friend a few years ago and he told me that almost all of his dreams were nightmares. Some were good and adventurist, but most were downright nightmares.

My dreams are always good , so I thought everyone's were. I always see better days and I do better things. I don't know if I'm dreaming of past events that were good or future days of the past. I used to have a reoccurring smothering type dream when I was a kid. But, nothing since then. It's all travel, adventure, peace, etc.

Do you have good dreams or bad dreams? Or, a mix?

I dream of rogue waves, as referenced in the RTT, at least once a week. It's been that way for a while. They often invade landscapes of seaside cliffs where I end up after chasing whatever it is my dream has me chasing. The weirdest recent development has me anticipating the waves, in dream, which seems a bit odd considering the nature of dreams to be singular and random, with no relation to prior dreams, as it were.

Next time I post about going to the ocean, make sure you tell me goodbye.

You know those are only misfiring neurons. Funny/weird how some try to explain the cause of dreams.

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

You could be right. I'm pretty sure you're wrong. I don't think we've even begun to understand the nature of dreams.

I have a recurring one, from childhood, that I still have every so often. Capt. Hook is chasing me thru a pirate ship and I get away from him just long enough to climb into a huge wooden sand box n slide up under the edge of it. I can hear him talking as he steps into the sandbox just overtop of me. Then I wake up

I'm usually crawling in my dreams or falling out of the sky. I wake up right before I land on the ground. My leg will for real jerk when I wake up from my falling from sky dreams.

Maybe I'm afraid of failure. Afraid of failing.

I almost always see myself in my dreams. Like from a third party. In this one, I resembled a Giuseppe type figure. I was seated on a wooden stool at a wooden work table. It was fine Oak finished to the smoothness of glass. I could smell it in my dreams. By the way, my dreams are always in color. I had been given an artifact to repair. It resembled an over-sized pocket-watch but I never learned it's purpose. I didn't have the tools, for some reason, to repair it. So, during the course of the dream, I invented and made 5 different hand tools to repair it. Some were fashioned from wood, others from metal with intricate parts. They were tools that I had or have never seen before. Yet, I dreamed them, invented them, produced them and used them to repair the piece that I was given.

Probably not. I've had some similar where I'm slipping, falling or something of that nature and a leg jerk wakes me. I think the body may be in an awkward position at that point and a neuron fires to correct it. Much like the space shuttle firing to correct position when docking.

I bet you get leg cramp as well. Oh I hate it.

I was being Felicia. We have no clue what goes on. Any research will only give up conjecture for an answer. I've dreamed of things that do not exist. How does that happen?

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

I have my own bs theory on dreams. It's based on nothing scientific, of course.

I tried so hard to explain. I'm glad this thread is here in perpetuity. Will revisit when my thoughts are in order.

I had a dream about Heart, Kat and FD. I was full blown Mormon. Good dream.

I'll type of my thoughts on dreams and a few examples. I've shared some of them.
