Thoughts for Thursday-Dreams

I was writing an email earlier this week right before I went to bed about a certain someone and that night, I dreamt of that person. I felt like that is the reason why I did dream of them because that must have been one of my last thoughts before I went to bed.

I rarely remember my dreams but I would assume that I do dream because I believe you can only dream when you are in the R.E.M. (Rapid Eye Movement) stage. That's the deep stage of sleep that most of us are in before the alarm clock goes off. Michael says I whimper and cry in my sleep quite often so I wonder what's going on in my pretty little head while my eyes are closed? My questions to you about dreams are as follows:



Do you remember your dreams?

Do you continually dream about the same thing?

Are your dreams normally happy or scary?

Have you ever looked up a dream in a dream dictionary after having one? Did you find the results to be accurate?

Have you ever had a specific dream that turned turned out to be a premonition?

Do you dream of loved ones that are no longer with us?

Do you believe dreams mean something more than just a dream?

Please share anything that you want to!

I love dreaming! Unfortunately I hardly ever remember my dreams; I seem to remember more when I've had a bit to drink and I think that is because I'm not in a super deep sleep.

The few dreams I do remember are mostly just me living my life, albeit in a crazy manner.
I do have a dream dictionary, even though I never have a chance to use it. I wish I could answer your other questions, but I really have nothing to go on.

I do know that I wish 'they' understood dreams more and the meanings behind them.
Great topic; kudos :)

Great topic Dana! ;) I had the weirdest dream lastnight that made me want to look it up - I do have a dictionary and usually use it as often as I can remember my dreams. Everything it said was dead on about my life - it was weird. Tom who is a skeptic to things like that was suprised by how accurate it was. So I believe there are messages.

I dreamt that the economy is tanking, our retirement fund has lost thousands of dollars, many homeowners are upside-down on their mortgages, the presidential campaign has turned into a mud-slinging circus, and I couldn’t find my DARN CAR KEYS!
Oh no, wait! That wasn’t a dream! ;)

Dreams to me can be very powerful things.

I recently had a dream about my sister Cherrie who passed away in August and it made me feel a whole lot better about the situation.

If they have ever changed your day while you were in the awake state, then they are powerful to you as well.

Plus, I like the crazy "I'm-stranded-on-a-small-island-and-it's-sinking-but-hot-air-balloons-are-above-me-dropping-rope-ladders-down-so-that-I-can-grab-on-and-climb-up-but-first-I-have-to-get-this-rabid-bunny-off-of-my-toes-with-this-celery-stalk" type of dreams.

They dont have much of an impact on my everyday life, yet they are still entertaining...kinda like an interactive movie that you are directing while your drunk.

I have crazy dreams all the time. A lot of times they are related to things in real life, but I also have dreams about celebrities a lot (mostly Prince). I have also had people who have died come to me in dreams to relay a certain message, and also dreams that have come true.

I think dreaming is simply that, a dream. I have weird dreams usually and sometimes they do have to do with something/one I was thinking about during the day. I don't usually have normal, or scary dreams but I do dream a lot!

Great topic! Do you dream in color? with music? Myself, no color but lots of music. The only dreams I remember are those that happpen during an afternon nap, never after a long nights sleep. I've had a strange recurring dream since I was young of being cornered in a boxing ring getting beat'n down by zoo animals! I've never looked it up in a dream book but I think I might.
