Stephen King and Dreams

Today I finished my book, Stephen King's "The Outsider" Frankly it was a little long winded in the middle but as I kept reading it picked up with a bang. If you like Stephen King's weird impossible stories you will love this one. It practically blows your mind. I loaded up our books and we carried them back to the library. This time I checked out a book explaining dreams and what they mean. I'm anxious to get started on it. I have such weird dreams and sometimes I can figure out what my subconscious is trying to get through to me but often not. Are you interested in your dreams?

I rarely remember any dreams, sometimes I think I don't dream at all.

I've had all sorts of dreams but lately I don't remember them. I plan to put a notebook by my bed and if I wake up from a dream I can make a note of it. I used to have lots of nightmares.

@rebelann You're lucky, I've had more bad dreams than good ones.

I loved King books like The Shining, Carrie, and I have read It many times. His stranger stories somehow don't do it for me. Perhaps I just don't understand them as well. I am very interested in dreams and have discovered that dreams that mean something are dreams you never really forget. I dreamt a strange one ages ago and I can still relate that dream today without even looking up where I wrote about it in my journal.

I used to keep a journal of all my dreams and they are strange dreams. children are in a lot of my dreams and driving down strange roads. I still remember a few of mine from years ago. One day I'm going to get out my dream journals. I used to understand why I was dreaming some of them.

Yes, I am always interested and so curious what my dreams mean. If I have a dream that I want to know the meaning I usually search off the internet for a possible answer.

That's an idea, I usually try to figure it out myself and sometimes I do but not always.

I have several books about the meaning of dreams and I bought a new one two days ago. I have weird dreams all the time.

@LadyDuck I dreamed one silly short dream last night and I believe I dreamed another but it escaped me.

@RubyHawk I usually forget my dreams as soon as I wake. I wouldn't be able to write them down.

I'll have to find out what I'm dreaming lately. I don't know if I'm sleeping too lightly to dream or if I forget them. I haven't slept well for a long time. I'm going to start making a note of my dreams before I can forget them. I used to have lots of nightmares and weird dreams.I even had a few dreams that came true.

I always have bad dreams and probably has a reason why this is so.

I believe there's a reason for all our dreams but its hard to get to the root of them.

Actually after I read some of the book I wasn't too impressed with it. And I was looking so forward to new information.

I sometimes have weird dreams but I don't worry about it. Maybe one day we'll really figure out what is going on. I would rather live my life than my dreams.

I am interested in my dreams usually I have no idea what my subconscious is trying to tell me.

Sometimes I get an answer of sorts. I've read a lot of dream books but this author is someone who has studied the brain and seems more plausible.

Stephen King is my all-time favorite author. I have every single book he has ever written, and have read each of them dozens of times. I still love reading his stories. And yes, he has a very weird, crazy mind, and it shows in his stories. Great stories, but definitely can make you have interesting dreams afterward!

@RubyHawk Oh yes, Children of the Corn was very frightening. I still get goosebumps anytime I'm around a cornfield.

I believe one of his best books was children of the corn and I think it's his shortest book. But I had night mares about that. I have several of his books but not near all of them. I don't believe our libraries have all his books.

That sounds a very interesting book to read. Enjoy reading the new book you borrowed. Tell us what it is all about dreams.

I've only read a few pages, from what I've learned so far it seems to be your unconscious mind trying to make contact with your conscious mind to help you solve problems in your life.

@thelme55 I finally read a few more pages and it's not as interesting as I thought it would be. I doubt I'll finish it. It goes back to primitive dreams centuries ago and writes about psychiatrists ideas to the present.I thought there would be more concrete information.

Dreams are fascinating. I used to have some recurring dreams... Love Stephen King. Don't think I ever tried "Outsider"

It was published in 2018 so it hasn't been out long. I loved all of Kings' books until The Dome. That soured me on him but this one has just the right amount of weirdness.

@RubyHawk I like how he keeps writing. I got into the Dome by watching the TV series. Season 1 was awesome imo - the other 2 seasons sort of lagged. I didn't enjoy the (audio) book of it as much

I have not read this one yet. But yes, while King is one of my favorite writers, sometimes he DOES get a little wordy. I think The Tommyknockers, for example, could have been a third of the words it was.

I think you're right but actually The Dome was the only one of his books that I really disliked.

I will but I've only looked through a few pages. It explains a lot about the brain and how it works.

@RubyHawk I think Stephen King was too much for me. So the book you got about dreams did it help you?
