Do you dream?

I'm wondering if you dream. I normally do not, but the rare sometimes when I do they end up being vivid and memorable. One of the most common dreams that occur to me seem so realistic I end up wondering if they were real or not when I wake up, only to realize that they could be too unrealistic to actually make any sense in reality. Do you dream? And what kind of dreams do you have?

Well every body dreams it is just some people don't remember their dreams sometimes. I am one of those poeple who has very vivid dreams and I often remember them when I wake up. I may forget them as the day goes on but I always remember my dreams right after I wake up. Most of the time I really enjoy my dreams, I get to experience different things in my dreams then in my real life. It is a nice escape most of the time, unless I have nightmare of cours.

I tend to have more abstract dreams for the most part. There have been a handful of times where I see something in my dream(a street sign, billboard, or writing on a piece of paper,) and come to the realization that it is a dream. I believe this is called lucid dreaming. You are able to manipulate the events that go on when in a subconscious state. I haven't taken advantage of this though, because I like to see how things in my dreams play out. The reason I was able to decipher the dream from real life events: I noticed that I have never been able to read any written text in my dreams. Not sure if this happens to everyone, but all I see are garbled glyphs when trying to make out printed words and statements. I think my subconscious may be illiterate or something.

I've been getting lots of mails and letters in my dream and i usually get really really excited. but as soon as i opened it, i woke up..so i will start getting angry and say to my partner "no, no, no,..i wanna go back to sleep, and continue the dream because i want to read the letter!"

I do dream but most of the time I don't remember them. Sometimes I can remember bits and pieces of the dreams. The last dream I remember vividly was about work and it was more of a nightmare.

I know that I dream. Sometimes when I wake up, bits and pieces of the dreasm are still with me. it irritates me sometimes when I can not remember what my dresm was about. Of course the same dream rarely comes to mind again while i am sleeping.

Yes, I do dream and many of them are quite vivid. I dream about all kinds of things, but the dreams I remember the most are the scary dreams. I dream about tornadoes often. In these dreams, I am not able to get my family to listen to me that we must go and hide in the basement. They always ignore me and end up getting hurt. I looked up what dreams about tornadoes mean, because I dream about them very often. They mean that you feel you don't have much control over what is happening in your life. This makes sense to me, because nobody can really control everything that happens in life.

oh i do.. last night i actually had one. it was really clear to me, like i was awake. i was talking to this very familiar couple (i could not remember what we were talking about). then i was working in our store and that was it... no big deal. sometimes, i think dreams like this are bound to happen one day.. haha.. sometimes, i also have weird dreams, repeating several times... at least not consecutively though... for about 3 times, with random instances, i always dream of being in a particular mall.. weird mall that have lots of elevators.. haha.. i always wake up when i ride the elevator.. ^_^

Nope, I don't dream, actually it isn't correct to say I don't dream, I just don't remember what I have dream, or should I say I don't remember dreaming. As far as I know everybody dreams. Normally I don't remember dreaming, but when I do remember it is mainly same dream, in fact it is same location but with small variation of persons or actions.

I dream. I never missed from dreaming everytime i sleep. if i sleep 2 or 3 times a day, means i dreamt 2 or 3 times too. if i sleep for 10 minutes or less, i also dream. and it has been like that since i was a kid. one thing that i'm really amazed though, was i never had even a same kind of dream in a different time though i dream everytime i sleep. all the people i know in person in my life already been in my dreams too hehe! one dream that i never forget was when i was 15. i was dreaming about a weird animal trying to kill me, and i was trying to run away from it but i was too weak to move. I do remember that the animal actually looked like a dolphin and even the colour too, but very strange because it was happening on the street, not ocean or river or whatever. so as soon as it got closer to me, i screamed really loud asking for help, i kept on screaming over and over again. then while i was screaming, i heard somebody calling my name. so i opened my eyes and found my family members standing around me. they looked so worried in case i may was in pain or something. so i slowly told them i was just dreaming and they were so angry and annoyed. i understood then because it was 3 in the morning :-)

I dream and it is my belief if one starts thinking in a dream this can't be real one will wake up very soon after that, I love my dreams, I had a very strange dream last night, it involved soldiers, and I was a soldier and wanted to embarrass my captain, or whatever is called for a reason, there were somethings we were not supposed to be doing but I was not caught, and this made me hate the man even more, I also dream of a strange construction, a wall, and that each of us soldiers was a brick. Weird huh?

Yes I do dream. But sometimes I do not remember what happened when I woke up. Sometimes I had a dream about something that never crossed my mind when I'm awake. That's weird. I have dreamed many things that I can no longer classify them. I also has a lot of nightmares. But thanks goodness its not every night.
