Anyone have horrible vivid dreams?

[Mr.Nick]

Why you had that dream.



I know when one should use "then" rather than "than". :shrug: Are you counting that as one of the few?

Sorry for talking **** but dude why the **** are you so fascinated by my dream? I almost forgot about that **** (but will never forget it).

I'm sure I will have a better dream on Monday.

Thanks for correcting my numerous grammatical errors, I'm not exactly writing an article and I don't exactly have an editor and I have no plans in the future for hiring one however, I should stick to the English Language and the properties associated with the language when I manifest my opinion...

I wasn't attempting to correct you. I was merely pointing out an observation that could be classified under the "empirical evidence suggesting that Mr.Nick's self-assessment of perfectly equivalent or very close to perfectly equivalent knowledge with Tucker Case may flawed" file. I'm not claiming more knowledge, but it's highly doubtful that you know everything that I know and vice versa. I'd bet good money that both of us possess a significant amount of knowledge that the other one is totally ignorant of.

I'm asking about why you had the dream because, despite the evidence to the contrary that exists in this thread you claim to have absolute self-awareness. But if you do not know why you had that dream, absolute self-awareness is impossible.

So you think all dreams have "whys," how absurd. Additionally, Mr.Nick never asked why he had his dream that I can see, just that he had a weird one and wanted to comment on it, and wondered why he wanted to comment on it, not why about the dream. That took off as folks tried to interpret his dream. Just sayin', he didn't really ask for a why about the dream, that just sort of evolved as though he did want to know why.
Perhaps you don't observe and comprehend so well yourself.

 

[Tucker Case]

I believe in cause and effect. why do you think cause and effect is absurd.

 

[Summerwind]

I believe in cause and effect. why do you think cause and effect is absurd.

Not for dreams. Most of us don't even recall 90% of our dreams. Some that are recalled are recalled simply because of being so entirely bizarre. Now do I think repeating dreams or extreme dreams can be evidence of a "why?" Yes. But all dreams, every dream, those we don't even recall? Not a chance. And I've even solved problems in my dreams and seen the correlation to real life in some, but not all. We sleep and dream whether we have something for dreams to consider or not. Clearly when we do, they seem to try to assist, when we don't.... maybe we just dream.

 

[Tucker Case]

But all dreams, every dream, those we don't even recall? Not a chance.

Why not?

 

[Summerwind]

Why not?

Because as already mentioned but you clip out, even dreams remembered often mean absolutely nothing psychologically, perhaps physiologically as in drinking too much, toking too much, on certain meds, etc. The attempt to put "meaning" to everything usually is evidence of a really ****ty psychologist, imo. Yes, some things are truly required to be re-searched, re-hashed, and related to current behavior, phobia, etc. But a hell of a lot of all aspects of lives including dreams are just what they are and don't need to be picked apart and analyzed. They can simply be appreciated or abhorred or anywhere in between or complete ambivalence....

The idea you're pushing is simply a ploy by the ilk to keep as many people in regular appointments as possible for as long as possible.

 

[Tucker Case]

The attempt to put "meaning" to everything....

Dreams are merely the brain's attempt to make meaning out of random firings of neurons.

And I never said that all dreams have meaning. I said that they all have causes. This is because your brain is what creates the meaning that you call a dream. As I noted earlier, a libertarian having the dream described in the OP makes sense. A socialist having that dream would be odd, though.

Anxiety and stress often lead the brain to make anxious/stressful meanings out of the randomness. Thus, anxiety and stress cause bad dreams. The content is explained by his ideology. It has no more meaning than "That makes sense".

You're really reaching. Yes, perhaps for his dream what you suggest is correct, perhaps not. But to determine that all dreams have psychological causes is still and will remain entirely absurd.

It is as absurd as the bull**** one liner everyone says when someone says they can't/didn't sleep, "Guilty conscience?" which implies sleep disorders are one's own fault and probably means they're guilty of something besides not getting sleep. Complete bull****, as is your theory, that all dreams have some psychological meaning. And, no dreams are not ALWAYS the brain's attempt to find meaning as far as I can tell. Seems we're going to dream regardless because it's what the body needs, REM sleep, which happens to entail dreams whether we remember them or not. I think your problem is that you are only able to analyze those dreams that are remembered and then only in the context of the ability to remember and relate an entire dream, which in and of itself is questionable. If you were to suggest that most of the dreams we remember have some mental, intellectual, or psychological representation, I could agree with that, but still not ALL of these either.

Again to repeat, it's not that what you're suggesting is never true, it often is, but ALWAYS is a pretty damn big concept and is not at all accurate. We dream because our bodies need REM sleep, sometimes it is connected to our real lives and issues therein, sometimes it's not. You won't be changing my mind, nor changing my mind about the reason the psych ilk want everyone to believe everything is always blah blah,... just a tactic to keep those bucks coming in.

 

[Tucker Case]

I never said that. I said all dreams have causes. You added the psychological on your own.

Dreaming is completely whacked. I've done all sorts of insanely scary, awesome, naughty, fun things, sort of glad there is that semi-alternate life sometimes.

Have you had a dream where you're talking to someone and they are telling you a joke, and you listen, hanging on the punchline, then you laugh at the genuinely funny joke that the dream actor finishes. WHAT THE ****. It's ME, I apparently made up that joke, and the punchine, why didn't I know it? That's some bizarre ****.

I always have vivid dreams, I have a disturbing dream or nightmare about 2 times a week. I remember having a dream in high school where my friends were chasing me around screaming that I was the enemy and not listening to me. They caught me and gored out my insides with silverware while I was begging them to stop. Then I woke up.

?

I just had a dream (and I cant go back to sleep) in which I was a "prince" (very similar to Czar Nicholas II) and I'm reading off the US Bill of Rights/Magna Carta granting people civil liberties and all of a sudden I'm physically attacked by this mob - then I wake up....

I don't have dreams anywhere close to this.

I don't know what to say or even make of that ****.... I don't even know why I'm posting this besides the fact I'm exhausted and at this point find the dream extremely interesting...

I use the dream dictionary to help me interpret the dreams that I remember. Nice of you to write your dream. Here is what I found about your dream:

To dream that you are a prince suggests your need to feel important and needed. You may be admiring yourself and you accomplishments.

To see a mob in your dream represents chaos and disorganization. Your are experiencing a conflict in ideas and interest. It is time to be more assertive and take control of your life.

Now the issue of "Bill of Rights" is specific to you. Free associate whatever comes to your mind with magna carta. Then put all these true meanings all together somehow.

If I may interpret it for you by using the dictionary it would mean that you have the need to feel important, needed, cause you admire your accomplishments of believing in the "Bill of Rights" (alternative meaning may be drawn for this one). But there is disorganization and chaos when you try to communicate this great belief of your to others and they are beating your up when you do so. So you should be more assertive in pushing your beliefs back at these people that may mean not much to you in your RL environment but nevertheless are winning your statements.

I do have these three recurring dreams, they're not horrible but they do suck tremendously.

In one its the end of my vacation and I need to pack up my things in my hotel room, my stuff is everywhere and no matter how much of it I stuff into my bags there is still more everywhere + people banging on my door telling me to hurry up we're going to miss the plane.

In the other I'm back in High School, I don't want to go to my last class of the day because I've been skipping it for weeks but its an exam day. Everyone mocks me with "Whoa, look who decided to show up." This dream bothers me because it never occurs to me that I'm not a student anymore and because I didn't skip classes much in High School like I did in college.

The last one is the one that bothers me most, I'm either walking along a beach @ twilight and suddenly realize the ocean is now on both sides of me just before a 100ft wave is towering over me. I have the same sensation of accepting my death as I do these space station dreams I have where I knew the risks of working in a space station and the alarms are going off before it explodes. My acceptance of my death always disturbs me when I wake.

Wow these are interesting dreams. What I think they mean...

I don't really buy into dream dictionary or the psycho-analysis of dreams. I wouldn't think much of it.

Ah, nevermind then!

When I'm particularly stressed, I tend to have violent nightmares and will remember all of the details upon waking and for the next day. Mine normally entail someone or something, chasing me and trying to kill me.

Hey TGND. Nice pick at the avatar as usual My compliments girl :mrgreen:

Here is what I found about you:

To dream that you are being chased signifies that you are avoiding a situation that you do not think is conquerable. It is a metaphor for some form of insecurity. In particular, to dream that you are chased by an animal represents your own unexpressed and unacknowledged anger which is being projected onto that animal. Alternatively, you may be running away from a primal urge or fear.

If you enjoy being violently chased though then it may mean:

[/QUOTE]
To dream that you are being chased and enjoying it implies that you like being the object of desire. You like feeling wanted. The dream may be analogous to a blossoming relationship.
[/QUOTE]

Knowing you both may apply! So which feelings do you have while being chased?

I have somewhat regularly. I wouldn't get freaked out by it. It is pretty common for me to phase shift in a dream. So for instance in yours, in part of the dream I might be the Czar; for part of it a peasant interacting with the Czar; for part of it, someone guarding the Czar. I have always attributed it to reading a lot of fiction and having done some acting in school--sort of a subliminal creative process at play.

To dream that something is morphing into something else that morphs into something else represents your indecision or your ever changing attitudes toward some situation or issue. It also means that you are looking at something from a new angle or different perspective. Consider the significance of each morphed object.

This thread is a bizarre coincidence ..

.. Because last night I dreamt I was at home when a woman with two kids entered my home through the front door without knocking, and she picked up the phone and started to make a call.

I saw her do this even though she didn't bother to recognize I was even there, and I was afraid.

So I decided to codependently "manage" her a bit .. and I got her attention and I asked her if she was calling a local number or using another area code. She seemed to have a difficult time understanding my question.

She appeared economically challenged, not sure how I recognized that. So I didn't ask her to leave, as I felt sorry for her.

I tried to ask the question again, and I moved closer to the front door.

Then two young men entered who were apparently with her. I felt afraid now. I asked them to leave, but they both just moved their jackets aside to reveal revolvers under their belt.

Me and my friend who was with me then bolted outside and across the street. One of the two young men pulled his gun and threatened us as he pursued, though it appeared he didn't really want to hurt us.

The chase continued through some strange settings, eventually into a junk yard of debris and other obstacles for hiding. My friend seemed to elude the man, but the man caught me and I stopped momentarily.

Though he seriously threatened to shoot me if I tried to escape, he was clearly afraid to shoot me .. and when my friend made some distraction noise I bolted again, slipping through a crack in the fence, and then hiding under something .. but the man caught up to me and found me.

However, he got too close to me and I knocked the gun out of his hand and it suddenly turned into a stick, which I picked up and then hit him.

The stick was very light, almost like balsa wood.

I hit him in the head, but it only slightly subdued him, yet he made no attempt to attack me.

I hit him again, and again, and again, and it was having a numbing effect on him.

I remembered thinking that he was afraid to shoot me, and maybe he wouldn't have done anything violent to me, but I wasn't the least bit hesitant to whack him over and over again, as my fear had turned to anger.

My friend caught up with me, and we marched this man back to my house, hitting him in the head over and over as he staggered.

We got back to the house and I hit him one last time and he fell. I didn't think he was dead, but he was definitely out.

We subdued the other man. Don't know what happened to the woman and her kids.

Then I woke up.

I reflected on the dream for a bit, as it left a waking impact.

Then, as I was eating breakfast, I found myself wondering about and Googling "Immigration bill could cause civil war in America".

Not sure if there is a connection.

I think there is a connection. But meaningful to you and your fears of them

**** psychology.... You know what? if psychologists had the ****ing answers than why do they ask questions?

Then why bother with Psychology only? All sciences ask questions, it is what drives researchers to find the answers and have them available for you to read. Building on this logic then we should **** all sciences and just delve in religious doctrines.

Chase and silverware being removed out of you from "friends?"

To see or use new and fancy silverware in your dream indicates harmony in your domestic life. Things are going well. Alternatively, the dream signifies your willingness to help others and to lend a hand.

To dream that you are being chased signifies that you are avoiding a situation that you do not think is conquerable.

Can you link these meanings out of such symbols? Does not seems too difficult does it?

Write or record verbally the dreaming experience. That is what I use to do until sleeping become so much more important that I could barely understand the ramblings or written temporarily understood "shortcuts" to the dreams (i.e., later I would not know what the heck I meant with crazy written symbols designed to be shortcuts!).

I would remember dreams from time to time. When I do I will post here. Nothing for now though :shrug:

BTW we dream several times a night, usually after phase 3/4 of sleep.

Wish I could dream what the lottery numbers tonight will be!!

I had a recurring dream that I had to take my brother to the dentist..whilst he was in the chair, the assistant bought in a plate of hard-boiled eggs and the dentist started forcing my brother to eat them..I understood that these eggs were poisonous and I grabbed my brothers hand and we ran away into a nearby wood..The dentist was walking round with a plateful of these eggs calling my brother..we were hiding up a tree!!

Another one I had was that the devil (red,cloven hooves. horns, the works!) was chasing me on a bicycle..I was terrified..I lifted my arms up to discover I could fly..

Anyone else ever dreamt they could fly??..it's awesome!!
