This time I’m talking about REAL dreams, that a person has when they are asleep. I’m not talking about “Following Your Dreams” to become a successful performer or business owner or something like that?
I know that it’s been said that everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers dreaming.
I have some very VIVID dreams sometimes and wake up in a panic.
Dreaming is supposedly a person’s subconscious mind working things out, they say. I’m not sure about that, but I know that I often have the same types of dreams.
Sometimes, I’m in a building with lots of floors and doors and stairways and I’m trying to find my way out of the building, but can’t.
Sometimes, I’m flying. Hah! I’m mean REALLY flying, not in an airplane. Flying over mountains and looking down at the Earth.
Sometimes I dream about spiders, which I HATE with a passion.
What kind of crazy dreams do you have? Or do you dream at all?

When I have very vivid dreams that mean something I can remember every graphic detail and I have them written down. Then I have had dreams where I dream and it's like watching a movie and if I wake up and then go back to sleep I get the second part of the movie. I have dreams that don't mean anything just some silliness and I forget about them quickly but scary dreams take a long time to leave me.

As soon as I wake up, I need to recall the dream immediately, or I will forget it. It's so crazy.

Once I dreamed I was in the back seat of the car with my younger brother. My Dad was driving and my mother was in the front seat. And we were in a tornado spinning around and around. I woke up before we crashed into anything.

@JudyEv Yes, some of my dreams are really scary and when I wake up, I say to myself. "Wow! I'm glad that was only a dream!." Sometimes I'm hiding from a dangerous situation and can't seem to get away from the danger. I'm always glad when I wake up and know that I was just dreaming.

@IreneVincent Waking from a dream like this can leave you quite shaky can't it?

@KristenH Sounds like something I might be interested in. How do I get involved?

@IreneVincent National Novel Writing Month (Nano/Nanowrimo). It's when authors like myself write every day to reach the goal of writing 50K or more by the end of the month.

There is a website that interprets dreams called dreammoods(dot)com.

I knew that there were persons who claim they can interpret dreams but I don't really believe they can. That's just me.

@cindiowens Yes, I'm sure that is true. I've really had some crazy dreams though. I hope my subconscious mind works out all my psychological problems. And I guess it has since I'm still quite sane, I believe.

@IreneVincent Dreaming is the subconscious mind working on your life's problems and solutions. Actually, they can be interpreted to a degree. It is not a spiritual interpretation, but rather a psychological one.

I do dream. A lot. I usually know I am dreaming though.

I dream a lot too. Some dreams make sense but most of them don't.

My last vivid dream was to return to my boarding house (which I didn't care for) when I was in my teen. They were all so welcoming me back and I woke up, thinking, 'what? Back to that place again? I thought I had managed to get out of that jail ages ago.'

Once I dreamed I was in love with two men. The funny thing was that they were both my husband. One was when he was young and the other was when he was older. So crazy. But, at least I was faithful, even in my dreams.

I don't know what to say! THAT was so funny! Did you find out from your dream who did you love more?

@YrNemo No, I woke up! But, I know that I loved them both equally. And I have never been unfaithful. I've never wanted to be with anyone else.
