Are your dreams 'social'?

Post Reply New Topic

my dreams usually involve either me leading a rebel army in a 0 minutes into the future scenario, or my on a fantasy adventure. Both are pretty damn social.

My dreams are usually about my special interest, which is a musical group. A lot of the time, I'll be hanging out with one of the members. Often, I try to interact with them and they responded with some completely unrelated dialogue often.

Often, I have dreams about people dying or getting hurt. Also, I often have dreams where I am not actually in the dream, I'm just watching other people.

As a little kid, ALL my dreams were about animals. (Which I have heard is quite common in little kids autistic or not)

Object have never really thrilled me all that much, so that could also explain why I don't have object-based dreams that often.

One interesting thing about my dreams is that I have never had a flying dream. I mean, I have had dreams where I am flying in an airplane, but never, flying without help of human-made object. Usually, something goes wrong in these dreams. Like, once I had a dream that I was flying in airplane, in the exit row. The row had like 6 seats on each side and I was sitting into the 5th seat from the window, there were little kids in the 4 seats on one side of me and a person with low functioning autism on the other side. I was scared because I was far from the window and I was the only person in the row who'd be able to help in case of an emergency. The airplane had to make an emergency landing and I felt like it was going to crash as we were landing. We actually landed safely and my teacher was on the plane and I had to get his luggage from the back of the plane, take it across the tarmac and give it to him. That is actually the least scary "flying dream" that I have ever had.

I usually forget my dreams very soon after waking up, but of the few I remember not many involve dialogue or even as much as a facial expression from someone. However, people do sometimes exist in my dreams.

My dreams are no more or less social than my real life. Usually it's just me navigating some weird situation with occasional interaction with people I know very well. Some common themes include going back to school and not being able to find my class schedule, being on or observing a low-flying airplane, or a dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream scenario where I keep "waking up" in a slightly different version of my room.

It would be interesting at this point to hear what NTs usually dream about.

Only the nightmares.

I once had a dream about a nuerotypical coworker who always told everyone I had no common sense. In the dream he admitted that he was devastated because he thought that I thought he was stupid.

My dreams usually involve social interactions in a very odd way.

For example, I once dreamed that I was Thomas Jefferson and was solving a mystery at a modern-day bookstore...

Yeah, I should stop probably stop drinking really far beyond expired pomegranate juice...

No, in my dreams I am usually observing other people interacting, just as in real life.

I usally either dream about deceased family members (ghosts of), lost family members that I am no longer in contact with (I have a son out there but a few years ago when I went away for a short break for a few months (went to stay with a friend I had back then) my ex pulled a stunt and filed for custody by telling the courts I had abandoned him. I did not know about the case until after the fact so didn't turn up and of course the rest of my living family disowned me at that point as well. Of course, according to the court papers, which I have copies of, my Depression and Social Anxiety etc was used against me. I have not seen my son since), ex lovers (not the aforementioned one lol) or the paranormal (such as my laptop levitating whilst I try to grasp it and pull it back but am unable to move).

But then I used to read a lot of books on ghostly encounters and Para-psychology and watch horror films so..

Slight digression in regards to my son, I wouldn't mind but whilst I do have issues with Agoraphobia, Depression and Social Anxiety and am prone to screaming fits when i'm ultra stressed out (i usually try to make sure I am alone if I feel myself overloading as my screaming can scare people and I don't want to do that lol) I wouldn't hurt anyone and spend most of my time sitting in quietly cross stitching or doing art. So it's not like I was out of control or dangerous or anything! Just prone to a mood disorder, meltdowns and social problems really.

Yes, my dreams include other people. Even my first nightmare did. I had a Harry Potter one a couple of weeks back which involved several friends, flying without a broomstick, a great action sequence, and being a hero. MAGIC!!

I have to think on this one a bit. Two nights ago I had a dream where I was walking through an old house. I thought I was alone, but on the porch were two or three people I didn't recognize. I stared toward them a bit, and them at me, but no social interaction occurred.

But I believe in many of my dreams there is social interaction---usually amongst people I know.

There are usually people (my family) in my dreams, but they're "epic" dreams, so there's not really any standard social interaction.

I don't think so. People in my dreams tend to be very annoying, a lot more annoying than in real life. If I ever dream about going to a party, all I ever see are food, all kinds of food on every table. Though very occasionally I'd dream about something emotional. The feeling tend to be intensified 10X in dreams and I can still remember those years later.
