In your dreams, are you autistic?

Post Reply New Topic

It's funny but in mine, it's like everyone is talking in riddles. I start panicking and have trouble answering them like I'm taking a math test or an exam I haven't studied for.

In other dreams that I consider good, everything is serene and I don't need to talk to anyone in order to communicate with them.

In mine I don't know if I'm Aspie or not b/c I'm always around ppl (whether it's at a party or in the privacy of home and someone is there) and it's people i've never met but am a fan of (yes folks, Tokio Hotel appear in my dreams but Bill and Tom (twins, lead singer and guitarist) appear more often) I know that in real life i would feel awkward if a person I've never met hugged me without concent. But in my dreams, I actually feel when Tom hugs me and I like it! I feel some sort of safety from this (don't get me wrong, I like Tom. But I've been a Bill girl for almost a year now) The way we interact in the dreams is peculiar too.
In real life Tom tends to be vulgar (something I don't care for because it's just not good to contradict yourself if you're both polite one minute then vulgar the next. ppl can get the impression the you're two-faced! And I don't see that with Tom I think he has the potential to change.)
Anyway, what's weird is I'm always comfortable because unlike Tom's real life personality, the way my subconsious mind percieved Tom turned out to be a sweet, playful person. I don't know if my subconsious gave me who I see underneath who is displayed to the media or whatever. Bottom line is I feel comfortable around him.

Depends. In my sexual dreams I'm forward. In my normal dreams I'm usually worried about talking to people that are there and just sit in the background watching (this is when i'm part of the dream, not just a watcher).

In my dreams, I pick up books and instead of seeing written words I get the information out of them as a movie much like the dream itself.

I don't dream.

No. You might not REMEMBER your dreams, but I don't think it's possible for you to have never dreamed.

I have dreams in which I am awkward and tongue tied, or I embarrass myself by saying the wrong thing. Like real life but more extreme.

But most of my dreams are about buildings, so it doesn't matter in them if I am ASD or not, except that I get anxious by finding myself in confusing (like airports or ware houses) or too tight spaces.

Most of the time I wake up not having dreamed, but just thinking about thinks. Yes, I even do that in my sleep. Although whenever I do dream (about once a week) there is hardly ever any talking going on. There are other people, but its more like everybody has psychic mind reading powers, including myself. I can only think of one exception. I think I was riding a bike around and I just happened to see this big fat Italian guy sitting in his garage. I recognized him as the CEO of Raven Industries, a high-tech private military corporation in the fictional world of MAG, a first person shooter video game. I had decided to walk up to him and tell him something like this "Your forces have been killed! You have lost the war! Surrender now while you can [evil laugh]!" He then pulled out a pistol and shot me in the chest. I fell to my knees in the dudes driveway and crawled back over to my house, when the alarm clock went off. That's the only talking I ever remember doing in my dreams.

I'm usually another person in my dreams. Male, female, all different ages ... sometimes they have interesting plots, too.

Yes, exactly this for me too, I was thinking of a way to put it ... When I walk, my legs don't really move, I sort of float about. And I also communicate differently, like thoughts materialise and can be heard if I want them to. I don't remember really "speaking". I also see what is around me very differently, as if i could only see right in front of me and there was no "scenery , just "the path" or "the corner of the room". Then when I turn around, generally, things are different than they were when I first looked. Nothing is stable. Except me, I'm always me, same personality, same age.
I can fly everytime I dream , if I remember that I am in fact dreaming. It used to be exciting, I loved it as a kid, now I only do it if it's "relevant" or something.
My nightmares changed focus 9 years ago. It used to be about me being in danger of death or plain dying and waking up, now it revolves mainly around my kids dying in horrible circumstances.
After my father died, I had a few bittersweet dreams about having long conversations with him and realizing in the middle of it that I must be dreaming since he was dead. I asked him if it was the case, just to be sure, and he would nod and hug me. I liked those, shame they're gone now

I'm just weird old awkward me. Or weird young awkward me. So yes, I'm still autistic. My dreams just feel too real. About from the recurring themes: meteor strikes, tornadoes, Armageddon, etc.
