Recurrent dreams!
« on: June 01, 2010, 04:59:30 PM »
I used to have this recurrent dream where I'd be downtown and the skyscrapers would start falling down. I'd run and run but then another building would fall. So I had to run in another direction and then another, they just kept falling. Sometimes the dreams would include an enormous tidal wave. Again I am running and running. I get tired and say let the buildings hit me. But then I would start running again. Finally those dreams ended.

Then stupid stupid me watched 2012!  :rofl :rofl :rofl

I don't think I've ever had the same dream twice, but I know I've had dreams that were in sequence like episodes to a show. I'd have a dream, and then a few weeks later I'd have a dream that had a few parts from the first dream, and then more added towards the end of the dream. All through the dream I'd be thinking "This seems so familiar." Only after I woke up did I realize it was part 2 of that one dream I had weeks ago.

I find dreams to be so fascinating. Some dreams even seem to be influenced by what's going on in the real world. Such as, something you do throughout the day will happen in your dream (seems like stuff just before you go to bed has more of an influence). So, if you were watching the Military Channel just before you went to sleep, you might have a dream about war.


Anyone else think that dreams are a way of your subconscious trying to tell you what you may be seeking in life, or how to better you life style?

One night I dreamt I was a teepee, the next night I dreamt I was a two man dome. When I told my doctor about it he told me to relax because I was to tents.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

When I was having those dreams my work life was overwhelming. Now I'm unemployed and have pretty nice dreams.

I used to have crazy dreams about raptors chasing me and my sibling, it would be the same dream over and over. The craziest thing is I don't think back then I knew what dinasours look like!

Dreams do have a relation with everything that has happened, mostly during the previous day. One day I did Canoe with a friend in our nearby lake, went to the NASA website, watched some explosions on youtube, and saw Avatar...among other things. In the dream, I was doing Canoe in my back yard (on the grass, go figure  :uhoh), it was dark and everything was blue tainted. I was trying to go to one side or another to extinguish bush fires. Then I saw the NASA space shuttle take off over the house. After a couple seconds, its rockets shut off and it started falling in a grizzling silence. I went to take cover inside the house when it hit the ground about 10miles away. The resulting explosion and shockwaves where of such realism and pure awesomeness I wanted to see it again!  :x

There should be an Alt + R command for dreams...

I once had a dream that I fought in the Battle of the Bulge. The two 8th grade classes in my school were split with my class being the 101st Airborne and the other being the Waffen SS.

Lol, I had a dream last night that I was a tank commander in Iraq. I then woke up after having my tank explode. After falling back asleep, I had a dream that I was in WWII as the gunner for an M4(75) with a tiger right in front of me. Seemed so real that I woke up in a cold sweat. After back asleep, next thing I remember was staring into the darnkess, sweating, and scared as hell.


The lesson is to never get into the tank fights at V85, and then watch the Military Channel right before bed.

I had a dream once where I had roped a T-Rex and I couldn't let go because it would eat me. When I woke I was pulling on the curtains.

I have had some scary ones.

The most recent one was me standing on the roof of Arndale shopping centre (My local Mall) with 4 of my friends, we were armed and had backpacks and webbing strapped onto dodgy civillian clothes.

THe sky was red and Adelaide was broken and burning, and a large black ominous cloud  we were staring at it, everything was cast in this eerie red colour.

I woke up after that. I dont know what it was but I think it was me thinking about my book. lol

My experience has been recurring over nearly the past year since Dad died last June at 61 years old. I occasionally have dreams of seeing him, usually here on our farm. Every time I do, it gives me great pause when I wake up, and it's quite sobering. Miss him very much.
