Do You Keep a Record of Your Dreams? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams1 year ago

Hi there! This will sound strange coming from me since I never believe that there are meanings behind our dreams. For me, dreams are just...dreams, random thoughts from our subconscious and unconscious minds.

Provided that just for the sake of discussion, do you keep a record of your dreams? Do you have recurring dreams? Or progressing dreams?

Reason behind these questions is that early this year, I had a dream that i am in a car (passenger seat) and was traveling in a free way. Around 1st week of march, i already heard a voice coming from the person in the driver's seat. Come April, the voice was already distinct. May, I can see part of who the person behind the steering wheel was. June, I already saw the face. it has been several months since I shrug it off until early this month, I had exactly the same dream.

Coincidence as it may seem. Those months were very special to me since it has do with my career, including my promotion and recognition. Last week, i learned that something great will happen to the company again.

Again, just for the sake of discussion...any thoughts on these?

I have ever try to do that, but just last for 2 days. One morning after I wake up, I still can rememeber the dream that I had the last night and it was very intereting, so I try to write my dream down like keeping a diary. But that night when I read the dream that I kept in the very morning, I found that keeping that dream is nonsense. Because it is ridiculous. The dream was in a mess, my middle school teacher teach me in the college, and my college teacher become my middle school teacher's student. What a dream! ...

Hi iamfine,

I don't think that the dream was nonsense nor ridiculous at all. That was the reason why it was a dream. It is probably you think over and over at the back of your mind or through your subconsiousness. Maybe these two teachers taught you something special. Or their way of thinking is one of a kind. And there are probably some "what if" questions you want to pop up during the time when you were still their student but was not able to do so due to a lot of reasons...

Thank you for this response! I really appreciate it.

I have tried to write dreams down in the past and I found that when I did I remembered them - in detail - for a long time. Even just jotting down quick notes would help he remember. Now I'm too tired to wake myself up and start scribbling away, plus I feel bad turning the light on in the middle of the night!


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  1 year ago

Makes sense!

Happy sleeping... and dreaming, my friend!

I can remember most of my dreams as in most of the dreams a rogue elephant chases me. happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Does that mean anything? how often do you dream about this? Were you bothered?


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago


I don't know .But I am bothered if I don't see that elephant in my dreams.I have developed an affection for that fellow. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

I assumed that is a very attractive female elephant. lol My, my... I won't be surprised if your wife one day will be jealous to that elephant. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago

I am hefty and manly enough.But an elephant is a little too much I think. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Hahahaha!!! Now that's a thought!!!lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago

You are having a great time laughing friend. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Yup! And enjoy every bit of it since I'm still in the freaking office rendering OT. lol Keep me laughing friend!


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago

Thinking of the elephant this will make you laugh I think,

This elephant was walking through the jungle one day when she got a thorn in her foot. The further she walked, the more sore it got. After a while she started to limp. After a while, this ant walks up and asks, "Hey, what's the matter?"

The elephant answers, "I've got this thorn in my foot and I would do anything to get it out."

The ant says, "Anything? Would you let me make love to you?"

The elephant thought about it for a minute and decided what the heck. How bad could an ant be? So she agreed.

The ant started pulling on the thorn and sure enough, he got it out. True to her word, the elephant laid down on her side and moved her tail out of the way. The ant crawled up and started loving on her.

This monkey was up in a tree watching this. He couldn't quite believe his eyes. He started laughing and rolling around in the tree. Then he knocked a coconut out of the tree that went down and hit the elephant right between the ears.

The elephant moaned loudly from the hit,"Awwoooohhhhh!"

The ant yelled at the top of his voice, "Take it all darling, take it all!!"


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

In your dreams, are you the ant or the monkey? lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago

Neither of them.I am always mighty. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Yeah right?... Writers and story tellers are always the "mighty" (if not the villain wink)


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago

I feel flattered Margaux. happy
Well what does your name mean and how to pronounce it?How can I call you?You can call me Bala. happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Hi Bala,

It's pronounced as Mar-go (silent x) Hahaha!! That's my style! That's my real pix by the way. What about you? Do you really look like a question mark? lol or the tiny man standing on the dot? thumbup

Thanks for actively participating in my discussions. You keep me company during my office time... Hahaha!!! lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Oh btw... I'm not sure what my name means but here in the office, they call me "Most Beautiful." lol. It started as a sort of de-stressing activity here in the office wherein all Quality Coaches have "tag names" you know, just to perk us up a little bit, and to help us not to fell the monotony of our work. So one Quality Coach is called the "Pretty Woman." Another is "Simply Irresistible," the other one is "The Goddess." We also have "The Bomb!" and our QC Lead is "DDG - (Drop Down Gorgeous!)


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9532)  10 months ago

Hi The most beautiful, I sure don't look like a question mark.I look like a man who has found the answer. lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Naks!!! You seem to always have an answer...

Yes Marg, about your topic, I may express this much... "Dream is not that what you view in sleep, rather dream is that what does not allow you to sleep!!"
Thanks for this nice topic and always come up with nice postings!


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Hi Mitraa,

How are you my friend? I haven't seen your posts lately. Thank you so much for this very intelligent response. I love how you put it: "Dream is not that what you view in sleep; rather dream is that what does not allow you to sleep."

True enough, if you aim big, you dream big, you will make extra efforts and struggle to much only to have those dreams materialize. That only means not be afraid of our dreams. Rather... be afraid of not reaching for our dreams.

Thank you for this response Mitraa. I am still in the office (and I guess will be stuck here till 5PM,LOL!) But I hope to read more responses and beautiful discussion topics you start.

I seldom dream. And I can remember most of my dream when I wake up. But a few days later, I may forget most of them!Haha.


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Hi there pxhnchsh,

It is a general knowledge that if you sleep tight and well, you always end up not remembering. Good for you then...

I recorded once or twice the strange dreams I had long long ago, but never come to a habit. Sometimes, I believe writing down the dreams might help improving my writing. And in case dreams come to some point to show a common tendency, they can be used for doctors or psychologists in analysing or judging a disease.
There are a lot of books giving theoretical summary of dreams. I read some just for fun, never taking it seriously.


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  10 months ago

Hey there zhuhuifen,

Have you watched Butterfly Effect starring Ashton Kutcher? It was exactly what his psychotherapist suggested for him to keep track of his dreams so that he will remember what happened and act regarding the previous dreams he has.

It is a chaotic movie, very complex...but at the end... it was also very interesting! thumbup

I used to dream nearly every night for a long time.Now I have got rid of the bad situation.At that time, I can not sleep well,for i had dreams every night.And when i got up, i would still remember the dream that most of them are dreadful.I think that dreams stand for what you have thought during the day or lately .I seldom care about what i have dreamt during night.


myLot reputation of 94/100. margaux08 (496)   ranked 3 out of 32 in dreams  9 months ago

Hi specific,

Whatever that "bad situation" is, it was a good thing that it was over now and all you have is a good night's sleep. I am happy to know that you rest well through the night...

Wish you more beautiful dreams that will come your way....
