| So I woke up giggling this morning. I don't remember the dream very well. I know David and Victoria Beckham were in it; I have no idea why. They were scouting locations to build a new house, and Posh had a totally inappropriate spot picked at the base of a roller-coaster, which we had to ride several times to see the spot again and again. Then there was some business with running around in fields, and the Beckhams were wearing very silly costumes and there was a Monty-Python-esque voiceover which in retrospect wasn't that funny, but for whatever reason in the dream it was hysterical, and I laughed so hard I woke myself up. Seriously. As dreams go it was pretty interesting. Not as interesting as some. I still cherish and am confused by the dream I had a couple of years ago in which I was explaining, in great detail, the plot of Bye Bye Birdie; it was terribly important, in the dream, that my audience really understand the nuances. And I sang the "One Last Kiss" song, complete with silly hip-shakes. (Oh one more time, oh baby one more time, it really is sublime ah honey so sublime... Don't ask how I know the words. They just sink in over time.) I don't much believe in dream analysis; what on earth could frolicking with the Beckhams (a couple I have no interest in at all, really) or pretending to be Conrad Birdie have to do with anything? And really, I rarely remember my dreams. They tend to be pretty dull, actually. I wake up with vague memories of shopping, or going for a drive, or paying bills or something. The hubs is the opposite. He remembers his dreams in detail, usually. And they're often fairly interesting, but again, they don't seem to mean anything at all. How about you? Do you remember yours? Do they mean anything? What was your funniest dream? Yes, I know it's rather a lame topic, but really, I'm still giggling over the memory of Posh in her little suit and peacock mask attempting to run across a field. She fell down. It was highly amusing. |

I remember bits of mine all the time. The first story I started writing in college that I actually made of lot of headway into was from a dream.
I get very lost in my dreams. Sometimes I don't realize when I've woken up b/c the tv or my alarm will have been a part of what I was dreaming about.
I also have reoccuring dreams... there's this one, from like 3rd grade that I've had about the 'drug man' who sold drugs and he was made out of tin cans. It's crazy b/c over 10 years later I know exactly what he looks like. I tell you... drug prevention can work!! I've never done any in my lifetime... the drug man might get me!
Heh...I'm a vivid, lucid dreamer, which sometimes makes it hard to get up in the morning cause I'd rather stay in the story!
I'm cracking up over your dream though. Rollercoaster and singing...yehaw! I'm sure Freud would love that. hah!

I keep a dream journal to use for story ideas. I do believe dreams have meaning--not all but some.
I recently had a dream that I was fighting on the steps of an Incan temple, Jim Balushi was my dad but no one knew it and he was in charge of the fight. There were two groups... I was fighting Cookie Monster and my BFF was fighting Elmo.
Freud that one...
I think dreaming is more like brain-defrag.
I also agree with Jaye that a few can hold meaning. I used to dream and often not want to wake up. I always hated that trying so hard to reenter the elusive dreamstate once woken never seemed to work for me.
Lately, I don't think I am dreaming or if I do I am failing to remember them. Then again I have a 6 month old and he gets me up at ranom times during the night still. Lately I am usually found dreaming of sleep. :)
I also have a dream journal and do remember most of my dreams.. They are a mix of really subjective things and then something really obvious like a sign that says why so poor synde?? It's funny. I have a couple of reoccuring dreams , but my oddest dream was about 3 years ago when I dreamt an angel and a vampire were fighting to see who got my soul.
I remember it in great detail. It was very surreal.
I have weird dreams, but I tend to only remember fragments. Once I dreamed that I was sitting across from one of my characters in a carriage, watching him sleep. He opened his eyes, smiled, and said "You're supposed to be sleeping too, Missy."
And then I woke up.
I've been too stressed to have decent dreams. At least not any worth remembering. I like my epic "movie" dreams the best and try as I might, I can never capture them the way I'd like.
I have recurring dreams like flying dreams (as in not using a plane), passenger in a driverless car dreams, and the house-as-soul dreams. The apocalyptic dreams aren't fun, but it's been more than a year since I've had one of those.
I also have a couple of "people" that I dream about regularly. Darned if I know who they are.
I have a couple dreams that are so vivid that I remember them to this day (1 from age 5 & 1 concerning mutant freedom fighters). Most of what I remember would make surreal dreams seem comfortingly normal. I look at dream books & scoff. I rarely have any elements listed in those books (snakes mean what? Then what do reptilian snake-headed mutants looking for a colony mean?) I don't recall any funny ones but there have been some that would make interesting story plots.
Thanks everyone! Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one with odd or uncool dreams. Although I feel really lame now because some of those are way funnier than mine! :-)
