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.

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 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?

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.

That was part of it. But, I was so busy making sammiches and dinners all the time. Cleaning house, etc. Keeping fresh flowers in their rooms. It was a lot of work but well worth the time spent with the girls and the conversations. I think that's what it's all about, Alfie. Time spent rather than wasted.

I think dreams depend a lot on your mood and what is going on in your life.

My first serious girlfriend cheated on me almost two years ago now. I won't delve into the circumstances, but it wasn't your normal break up. For months afterwards I dreamed of fighting and/or killing the guy she cheated on me with. Each night I would beat him with baseball bats, fight him. There were nights I would stab him and I could feel and see the blood all over my hands. Just freaky ****. I was beyond messed up, but luckily I had a great girl friend who would take time out of her day every day to call me up and just let me talk.

I ended up falling for her hard. She was perfect. Almost. I dated her for over a year. When it ended for a few months after her she was in every dream. She used to play games with me and would text me out of the blue and just flirt and the dreams would start back up. And they would be so real. Stuff that had happened, stuff that we had talked about happening in the future.

The mind is sooo scary. Mainly because of how capable it is and how far we are from understanding it.

I think that in dreams, we can let go. Or, our mind lets us to that. Maybe, it's a built in release of all repressed emotions along with other things. I don't know. With everyone having different types of dreams, it's hard to tell. Probably one of the biggest things with many of my dreams is that I dream about things that don't exist. Be it landscape, buildings, cities, tools, etc., they just don't exist in this world. Why? Where does that come from? How do you dream about people, in great detail, that you've never seen/met? How do you dream about traveling through cities that don't exist? How can you dream of traveling in automobiles/trains/planes that don't exist? That's what intrigues me.

Most of my dreams are things that exist. I am busy so I can't really debate with you right now, even though I'd love to. I love this kind of stuff.

One question. Have any of you ever experienced horrible, horrible pain in dreams?

Never pain in my dreams. Debate might be the wrong word for use in this thread, huh? It's just ideas and dreams being tossed out there.

I do have dreams of past events like fishing with my Mom and Dad, conversations with both in the past, etc. But, the ones that bother/intrigue me are the ones of things that to my knowledge don't exist.

I told you guys about the recurring dream where my wife yells at me about an intruder and I grab the gun but am so dizzy and disoriented. Then I go to pull the trigger and the magazine is empty. I finally just slept with a box of ammo in my bed haha.

I know, but I couldn't come up with another word right then. Just discussion I guess.

I liked what you said about you having to repress something, but your mind is free to act on it in your dreams.
