I dream in color and black and white...sometimes in the same dream. I also remember many of them that I can only describe as werid.

I've had dreams that have come eerily true. The best one, where I actually told people so I had witnesses, was when I dreamed I won $100,000 on a scratch-off lottery ticket. It was really vivid, and I felt so let down when I woke up and realized it was only a dream. On my way home from work that night, I needed to get gas. I had a $20 bill and decided to play along with the dream, ya never know! I put $16 in the car to fill it (it was 1991!) and bought four lottery tickets with the remaining $4. I let my kids each pick one and I kept the other two. The last one was a $500 winner. I know, not $100K, but still! Another weird one was when I was taking a correspondence course at home. I dreamed I got my test back with an A, graded in green ink. Now, what college professor uses green ink? Well....I got the test, and an A, and it was graded in green ink.

I dream in a half-melted, half exploded, blue city mostly. Those are the ones I remember. [image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]

So guest appearances as the mysterious lover in women's dreams? A fellow might get a bit fatigued from satisfying all the scandalous desires of the ladies. [;)]

The worst recurring dream I have is that I went back to smoking. They are less frequent than they used to be but I still get them. It's such a horrible feeling and very vivid in the dream. I feel guilty and disgusted with myself for having picked them up again. Then I wake up and feel very happy and relieved.

velvetears -> RE: How do you dream? (6/23/2007 7:20:46 PM)
i dream every night very vivid dreams. i dream in color and can remember details in my dreams. i usually don't dream about everyday common events but rather in what i call themes - water(calm or tidal waves), being lost in a dangerous place, school, flying, trying to get somewhere and i can't, being in a group of people and they can't see me, etc - many more themes which tend to repeat. i also can lucid dream - those i love as i get to control what hapens in them. i also feel sensations in my dreams - touch , smell, taste, pain, pleasure etc - my dreams are like a second life. Most "scary" and something i have had on and off for years since my early 20's is whats called hypnogogic imagery - or whats been recently termed i beleiev sleep paralysis - basically i am asleep, my eyes are opened, and i am paralysed so i cannot move anything but my eyes. i never get nice images always freaky demonic like scary crap. They are very real and i sort of know if i am falling asleep if i am going into one of these states - it kinds if feels like a hypnisis state, if i don;t get up and walk around to shake it off it literally compels me to this sleep paralysis state. First time i had it i thoguht i had a psychotic break from reality - i was truly frightened - then a therapist told me what it was - said stress played a major role in it. i have also had premonition dreams - if i dream something 3 times in a row, it has come true. Very disturbing i don't like them.

marie, you deserve a big round of applause for kicking one of the hardest addictions of all and staying off the nicotine. [sm=applause.gif]

sublimelysensual -> RE: How do you dream? (6/23/2007 7:23:37 PM)
My most vivid dreams, unfortunately, are the falling dreams, I have them at least 3 times a month, sometimes more, and they still scare the bejeebies out of me..they usually seem to be black and white. Other than that, I have had "premonition" dreams, but I usually refer to them as deja-vu dreams, simply because when whatever it is happens (and it's usually something totally inconsequential), that's the feeling that strikes me, and I remember the dream immediately.... -a

SeeksOnlyOne -> RE: How do you dream? (6/23/2007 7:35:34 PM)
i used to have the falling dreams-and somehow i got to where i was able to actually tell my self, within the dream, this is just a dream.......then i could sprout wings and fly and it was ok....... the one horrible dream i ever had that affected me even after i woke up was after my aunt was murdered....months later i dreamed i was her-imagined the horror she felt as she was struck, and in the dream, when they struck her for the final time, everything went black....i woke up and was literally paralyzed for several minutes, barely able to breathe. when i could move, i had to get up and chew a xanax, and sit and sob a while. that one scared the hell out of me.

I dream in color with all of my senses active. However I almost never dream that I am me, Jenny. I tend to have dream series, long ongoing plots that last for months or in the case of one lasting for years. Nearly five years of dreaming that I was a black slave woman living on a farm. I had a husband & two children. That dream finally ended when I dropped to my knees begging my Master to please not sell my children. I could feel the rocks digging thru my dress and into my knees, the sun was so hot and the air was still. I looked up at my Master and begged him from the depths of my soul to leave my children alone. Then I awakened to never have that dream sequence again but the lose of those children saddened me for a long time after. Currently my dreaming is taking place somewhere in Europe often in Germany & Romania. I am trying to lead people to safety while trying to avoid all Big Brother things. It is usually cold there & the signs are in cyrillic (sp?) so I struggle to read them. The food is bland and very basic, found only by scavenging as we travel to the border & a safe life. I sometimes have to kill those that won't let us pass, or those that are Big Brother. Sometimes my companions are killed and sometimes I am killed. Often I am wounded. It is rare for me to be able to pull myself from a dream. I don't differentiate between nightmares and dreams because my dreams won't let go of me even in waking hours. Exhausting but fascinating dreams. I have always dreamt this way as far back as I can remember. Someone once told me that dreaming you are not you is unhealthy lol.

maybe you are dreaming of your past lives jenny... interesting way to dream.

bandit25 -> RE: How do you dream? (6/24/2007 5:11:09 AM)
Lucid dreaming...a fascinating read. You get to where you are the director of your dreams.

Vendaval -> RE: How do you dream? (6/24/2007 2:40:51 PM)
Fast reply - It is really interesting how many people have repetitive dreams for several months or perhaps throughout their lives. The ones that are most vivid for me do involve the other senses and some of those are reoccuring. (format edit)

Marc2b -> RE: How do you dream? (6/24/2007 4:36:32 PM)
I have very vivid dreams, in full color, all senses engaged. My dreams run the gamut from short dreams to long, almost epic, dreams to the occasional "words can’t describe the weirdness" type dreams. I have had the occasional out of body dream but it has been a few years since the last one. Wether I remember my dreams depends on how I wake up. Weekdays, when the alarm wakes me, I usually forget my dreams by the time I’m in the shower. Weekends, when I can wake up slowly, I tend to remember them a lot better.

I always dream in color. I usually experience all my senses as if I were awake (sight, taste, touch, smell, hearing, the works). The subject matter is all over the place, though. I can have downright dull dreams (the most boring being a several hour long dream where I was waiting in line at Subway and never got my sub), to ordinary dreams about people in my life and usual events, to semi-ordinary dreams where either the setting, action or the people are familiar but the other isn't, to downright bizzare epic style dreams. The latter are usually strange, extremely involved, and I typically create my own little world or corner thereof for the dream with its own strange set of rules regarding what can and can't happen. I usually get very involved in these dreams, even if they are nightmares (though they are mostly fantastic, magical places and positive dreams), and don't want to leave them. I always wake up from them with a strong sense of regret because it almost seems like what I was dreaming was more real that real life. I had a recurring nightmare in which I was being hideously tortured. I felt every penetrating flick of the knife. It sounds weird, but I felt every damned thing that was done to me. I would always wake up shrieking and sobbing. And once I woke up bloody. I'd been digging my fingernails into random bits of skin to the point of seriously cutting myself because of the pain. Really, really odd. Fortunately those ended several years ago.
