Ever have a "long" and very detailed dreams that had more then one scene, and held thinking and talking - and remembering within the dream. And a connection with another in a dream you've never met - but miss on waking?

Most of it all the time, the miss on waking part only twice that I can recall. I do not always remember my dreams but I will often have vivid detailed dreams to the point that when I wake certain colors still stand out to me, or I can still hear what happened in the dream. I find that often my dreams are a series of scenes, a few scenarios where they will at times flow easily condinuously then begin to jump, so that it is like watching the middle of a movie you have seen before. I say watching the middle of a movie you have seen before, because for some reason, I know what happened prior to the scene I am at in the dream as if I know the history of the life time of the scene I am in, and have some idea of what is going to happen next and can even be aware of on some level that I know what is going to happen and so alter the outcome more favorably. Usually when it jumps like that so that it is like seeing 3 or more different stories all in pieces like that there is some kind of common thread throughout all the scenerios and story lines of the dream. I try to write down as much as I can when I wake, but I don't always hold onto the details.

I used to write down my dreams. And slowly, I would start to remember more, at first it would be no more then vivid colors - like you - or the echoing of a haunting refrain from a dream - but soon I would remember long detailed accounts of dreams and remember up to six a night. I really need to get into that again. You describe your dreams like yours, saying its like the middle of a movie is a great way to put it - knowing the history of the life time of the dream. Emotions of the person. I used to have dreams as a child where I would be these other people but know that I was almost possessing them at the moment that it was some kind of government dream research. The dream that prompted this entry reminded me of this. It was pretty involved and at one point I held a card and somewhere on it, it said slovenia or slovenkia and I knew this was the card for the government agency that funded the research and paid me. I was going to use it to pay. I remember thinking in dream that they paid me whether I worked or not. I haven't had a dream like the possession one I described for many years - wouldn't it be nice if somewhere, there was an account full of a decades of salary? The key to finding the account and how to get into locked in a dream. Ah well, its nice to dream, awake or asleep. I should write a novel about it!

Oh and its great that you have dreams where you're aware enough to alter the outcome. Another professional Dreamer!

It might be a bad idea to write a book, maybe your dreams are an inspiration for that book idea. yes it is great to use the dreams for so many things, I am big on answering a question, through dreams, or dealing with life issues that may have me confused. I mean if there is something I need to think about, or a question, or something I might want to learn my thinking mind has over ridden my intuitive self, then I will ask a question and ask for guidance as I am going to sleep and then I always get flashes images etc, when I get dreams that I don't really understand what the message or answer might be then I ask for clarity and will dream again the second night. I would be nice if we could tap into the dreams and dream worlds to get the answers, it just takes time, and like you I get stronger and clearer when I keep a dream journal, but when I kind of slack off then I find it is not as strong and I have to work to build it up again.

I always had long and very detailed dreams a lot. Especially I dreamt of a wonderful new permanent home for myself in a favorite peaceful town. I always dreamt long of a girlfriend that I do want.
