Extremely vivid dreams

Post Reply New Topic

I dream in a crazy amount of detail, it will be like super real. I hate it when I forget my dreams. But, I also hate having nightmares because it seems like it’s real.

I had a nightmare last night (although not really a nightmare compared to what is going on in real life right now).

I dreamt that I let myself into my uncle's cottage while he was away, and that creepy singing android on YouTube was outside. I thought it was going to get me so I went outside and punched it, but it only provoked it. So I ran back into the cottage and shut the door, and it's creepy face was peering through the glass in the door waiting for me. I can't remember what else happened but it was pretty terrifying.

I have very vivid dreams every night from taking LDN. I enjoy them because I am not chronically ill in my dreams.

Since I last posted, I've experienced one-dream related to the current pandemic. I sense I've felt I've had bits & pieces of dreams - which I cannot remember which may be related to current events.

Enclosed is a description of dream:

There were about half a dozen of us meeting on top of a grassy hill with a few tress for what appeared to be a creative-writing meetup. We were all diligently practicing social-distancing.

I had sensed that I was experiencing this dream from both a third-person perspective - as well as my own active participation in this meetup.

The meetup was scheduled for two to three hours - yet it appeared we had spent the first hour or so of this meetup moving around several-times. Was this because many felt that sitting on the ground was uncomfortable- and that everybody was hoping to find comfortable spots to sit?

I'm hard-pressed to remember one-word our instructor, or anybody else had mentioned. No memories of anybody bringing supplies one would expect to bring to a creative-writing meetup. The main memory is of the sun, and light wind rustling the landscape.

Was this meetup an example of the (albeit) accidental experiences providing lessons just as important as the intended purpose of the meetup?

When they are that vivid and memorable they usually predict the future, I found. Or give lots of insights as stated here already... really vivid nightmares I tend to ignore though

Interesting question - Can dreams predict the future? I reassessed my dream (in this discussion thread) and attempted to glean insights of (in opinion, and just for fun only) potential future trends:

* There were about half a dozen of us meeting on top of a grassy hill with a few tress for what appeared to be a creative-writing meetup.

[Creative-writing classes are for life enrichment e.g., no pressure, no tests, no grades, etc.]

* No memories of anybody bringing supplies one would expect to bring to a creative-writing meetup.

[No memories of people bringing pens, paper, laptops, or Smartphones - just enjoying the fresh-air in a natural-setting - just the experiences of discussions without the need to write about experiences.]

[Over the upcoming Summer, related trends will see an uptick - compared with normal Summers.]

* The meetup was scheduled for two to three hours - yet everybody spending the first hour or so of this meetup moving around several-times as sitting on the ground was uncomfortable - the perpetual process of trying to find comfortable spots to sit.

[Does this mean that portable, lightweight, easy to carry outdoor tables, and seating become an in-demand commodity??]

* We were all diligently practicing social-distancing.

[Excellent, the best outdoor-class experiences stems from both an important purpose of the class, as well as thoughtful participants.]

[Will outdoor markers placed six-feet apart (some markers made by artisans) also become must have items?]

* Was this meetup an example of the (albeit) accidental experiences providing lessons just as important as the intended purpose of the meetup?

[Oh yes, the (accidental) experiences of life-enrichment classes can become the most important lessons.]

Okay, my that's my two cents........Worth gold?

I heard that a lot of people are having strange dreams related to covid-19 but I only had maybe a couple of them and my other dreams are just as weird as they usually are. Last night I dreamed that I was staying in a large hotel room all by myself and then on my last day there the place suddenly turned into a disaster area. There was blue paint all over the carpet even though I didn't remember painting anything, and my parents were coming over to take me home but I'm freaking because they're going to kill me and the people running the hotel are going to force us to pay for all the damage. And then I go into the bedroom and there's some strange hole next to the closet. And now things get even more weird: strands of uncooked spaghetti start falling out of the hole, and I try to force them to stay in but they're just pouring out all over the floor.

I've been having quite a few dreams about staying in a hotel. I guess it's supposed to mean something, but I don't know what and something crazy always happens.

Also I had a dream that I found a cabin near a beach and wanted to live there alone from everyone and everything, but other people found out and started visiting the cabin and ruined my attempt to be a hermit.

Anybody read the 1920s book 'An Experiment in Time?' Book discusses theories on how sleep-dreams might predict the future: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Experiment_with_Time

My dreams are usually quite vivid and realistic. A side effect of that though is that my dreams are usually also boring as hell, and details from them don't stick out enough for me to remember them.

Not sure where to post this:

Noting sleep dreams with AS/HFA as factors might just yield important findings.

From my own experiences, my dreams sometimes feel like what NTs probably experience. Other times, my dreams feel very much like the perspectives of AS/HFA; that is I have much interest in sleep dreams involving social situations/environments.

Many experts on sleep dreams categorize many different types of sleep dreams. This makes dream experiences easier to understand, follow, analyze, etc. - as written and spoken accounts of sleep dreams can quickly become too confusing to understand.

Enclosed are three-different categories of sleep dreams on WP - based on common themes in my dreams:

* Sleep-Dreams Involving Social Environments:

* Sleep Dreams Related To Movie Theaters / Stage Performances:

I did have a lot of weird dreams. And I am sure this state of consciousness or something equivalent will reemerge within myself.

I can even feel pain in some of my dreams. They say it's impossible, tough.

My dreams, and nightmares, are extremely detailed. Some of them I didn't mind. Others, though, were as terrifying as can be. As an Autistic person who also suffers from PTSD, I've found it necessary to take Prazosin to keep some of these dreams, especially sleep paralysis, at bay.

I once had a dream I was in a fairly sparse nightclub. A band was onstage playing a song but not very many people were paying attention. Standing there, I started paying closer attention to the song and even liked it to the point I remembered the words and melody.

At that moment, my pet rabbit jumped up onto the bed and woke me. Interestingly, the mystery band's song was still in my head so I quickly turned on my recording equipment and sang the song into a mic. When I returned from work later that day, I'd forgotten about the recording.

When I discovered it, I recreated the whole song complete with bass, drums, guitar, keyboards and vocals. I called the song "Love/Understanding" and till today it's one of the best song I've ever written (even though technically I didn't!)

My dreams have been getting more and more vivid within the past year perhaps. In my case, I'm guessing it is a side effect of the medications I'm on. I also take melatonin to help me fall asleep and stay asleep and I've heard from a few people (that are non-medical professionals) it can contribute to having vivid dreams but I'm not positive that is true. Most of mine are related to various traumatic events and people from my past involved in them but that is probably a completely different problem.

Sometimes my dreams are detailed, but when they happen in real life they can be reversed as if one held up a photographic negative the wrong way round.

I dream in thoughts and perceptions, I often know the location but it is very different, sometimes I have very blurry images, sometimes I'm afraid. I can sometimes sense motion like flying or running. I can sometimes lead morning dreams when they are pleasant, then go back to sleep to enjoy. I rarely remember my dreams.

LINK on twelve universal dream themes - Personally, It's been quite a while since I had experienced any clear dreams falling into any of the twelve universal dream-theme categories.

What could it indicate if any of the most common, current dream-themes are not clearly in any of the twelve dream-theme categories?
