Dreams??

[dammit]

For some reason, I very rarely remember ever dreaming. I'm sure I do but it has been at least 2 years since I remember a dream, but over the last couple of months I wake up at least 3 or 4 mornings a week remembering a very vivid dream I've had. They are usually very similar, very very odd.

Do y'all dream often and remember the dreams in the morning?
Do you think dreams portend an upcoming event or are just your subconscious purging the data banks?

dammit

i do dream often and generally remember most of them in the morning. i have some recurrent theme dreams, topical dreams and whimsical dreams and some good occasional sexual dreams.

nova on pbs recently had a really good episode about dreams. i personally believe they are part working out subconscious doings, but i also believe there is more to them than just that. i love it when a dream is so good that you wake up with a warm feeling that never really leaves you for the rest of the day.

I can remember one or two dreams clearly for the rest of the day..

One thing I hate is when I am walking or running in my dreams but it feels so tiresome and I can hardly move..i always remember those ones because it hurts so real...

Hmmm, so you actually get sore muscles from a dream? LOL, I only get one sore muscle from certain dreams Odd, my latest batch of dreams are 3rd person views so I never actually see myself or seem to move in them

Not sore but exhausted like trying to walk through quicksand..Once I awake the feelings gone

I remember a lot of dreams, but I rarely dream. So I guess I remember most. I retell the dream to myself as I am taking a shower or whatever before work. That helps me remember the rest of the day. I have been known to post my dreams here. No one ever comments on them, they must be pretty out there!

I think that dreams in general are your brain going over things you briefly thought about during the day in passing.

But my dream where I met Bob Marley, well that was almost a religious experience.

Life's a dream!

I remember them but I don't dream much either and I need Freud to tell me what they mean

Did you know Freud and Einstein were friends?

My dreams are all kinds of weird, but if I happen to remember most of it, I can usually figure out what it's about or why I was dreaming it. The worst are job-related dreams... as if I don't spend enough time at work, now I gotta dream about it?

It's rare that I remember a dream, unless I'm in that half-awake, half-asleep phase... usually in the morning if I'm about to wake up or if I woke up and tried to go back to sleep. Even then, they tend to slip from my memory rather quickly.

Typically I don't remember dreams. However, when I do, they're always in color. I'm rarely ME, someone else usually. Typically I don't know any of the others in my dreams as real life people, but apparently know them in my dreams.

I have had, in the past, dreams so bound in reality that I actually had to check facts to prove to myself that it was a dream (one actually involved calling the state to check for tickets).

the nova episode about dreams is being re-broadcast on pbs tonight at 7pm. i saw it when it first aired and it is worth watching.

[dammit]

They knew each other but they weren't exactly buddy-buddies. They collaborated on a series of letters (1931-32) that resulted in an anti-war pamphlet. They got along well enough as long as they limited their discussion to their pacifist and political views, but each didn't really understand the other's scientific field nor really seemed to care to learn. By '33 Einstein emigrated because of the Nazis but Freud stayed behind in Austria until escaping in '38 near the end of his battle with oral cancer caused by his heavy cigar-smoking habit. He had first been diagnosed with it in 1923 but he smoked regardless till his death in '39.

They weren't exactly the first Driller and Driver team.
