This happens to me. Used to happen a lot. I tend to dislike it because it usually spirals into some horribly negative daymare, involving death/crippling illness to me or those that I love. I've cried over daymares before.

I've NEVER had a flying dream!

Never! I think that would be the coolest!

Most of my dreams are about me being unprepared for some event--a test, a speech, a meeting, etc. I have those a LOT. I hate them!! I usually have those dreams when I need them the least....when I'm already stressed out about an even that takes a lot of planning. The feeling in the dream lasts....I hate those!

Napmares. I have the WORST dreams when I nap. Dreams so bad they leave me sweating, shaking, and sometimes sobbing. And sometimes upset for a couple of days after.

I have had horrible dreams about being betrayed or hurt or losing all my teeth (I get that all the time!!!) and I will wake up and I will really think that the dream was real. I was even angry at a friend for like two days because I was sure she had done something to me and I had to really think that holy crap... that was a dream!!!!!

I have even had weird things like charlie horses appear in my dream... (i.e. I had a dream I was sitting in a car with some friends from my old job and we were throwing popcorn out the windows, don't ask, and then as I was sitting there I thought boy it sure would suck if I got a charlie horse right now and them bam!! I had to jump up out of bed becasue the pain was so bad...)

Does anyonw know someone who talks in thier sleep, sleepwalks or will wake up and still be dreaming??

My brother has done this all of the above several times and the worst was when we were younger and I woke him up to tell him to go to his room and he jumped up and kept telling me "we can't get out. What are we going to do?" and he went to the front door and tried to open it but didn't turn the knob and he ran to the window and was pointing to a stop sign at the end of our culdesac and said "we need to get there, how can we escape?" and just kept going on and on. I was so freaked out! I finally convinced him to go back to sleep and after about 15 minutes I tried waking him up again and he woke up and had no memeory of the whole episode. kooky.

I used to laugh in my sleep - not sure if I still do. Amusing dreams I guess.

According to some of my friend's, I used to (ocassionally) sleep with my eyes open... I was so creeped out when I heard that!! Maybe my family just has weird sleep issues...

I love dreams!

I have always dreamed in color, unless there was a particular reason for black and white. I rarely have an "action" position in them, though sometimes I'm actually *in* them, rather than being a spectator. Mine are like reading a book, describing the action rather than being a part of it. Often the male characters are useless, stupid, or come to some horrible end (oh, yeah, no clues to anything there). I don't wake up and go back to one, though once I had to wake up three times to actually wake up. That one involved a nice old lady, a Bible that I had to rip in half with my hands, and a ghost on the hood of a car.

My dead dad has come to me in dreams- there was a progression. Initially he would talk with me, at a place near my mom's house. Later it was shorter, and finally he was at a conference or something and was rushed, told me he didn't have time to talk, sorry.

People from work have appeared in my dreams. During my period and around full moon I get more articulated story lines, instead of still frame shots from a movie. The rest of the month I literally get flashes of images and then it flits to the next, though a scene is often repeated with alternate endings.

I dream about work fairly frequently. This morning was my most recent. I dreamed that one of the women there was mad at me. In real life, she's a little prickly, but she doesn't yell without reason, and she's kind of hard to get to know as she's very reserved.

Lucid dreaming would be so cool. They say it literally is having complete control, though I guess that would vary from person to person.

My husband used to talk to me and he'd be still asleep. I'd wake him up, he'd say something, and I'd go back to sleep figuring he's awake. Then he wakes up, looks at the time, and says why didn't I wake him up! I did.... One time he was arguing with his mother when he was a kid. He said something, still sleeping, she asked what he'd said, he repeated something that made sense in the dream but no sense to mommy, and she wasn't getting it. There was one thing she was supposed to say but she wouldn't do it. So he was getting mad at her and he's not even awake.

My mom has told me I talk in my sleep. I've never heard anything though.

Dreams are fascinating. Sometimes they tell me things, other time it's just inspired by waking life and doesn't mean anything, and other times it's just off the wall.
