Do you Have Dreams? and Do you remember dreams?

Post Reply New Topic

Oh yeah, and everyone has dreams every night. Its just a case of if you remember them or not.

I can remember dreams I've had even years after I've had them. I used to have the same dream everynight too.

Thus far, looking at the results, it looks to me like....

1. Aspies DO dream.

2. Most of the time, Aspies remember their dreams - even if only for a short while.

I had expected that aspie short-term memory issues could interfere with your ability to remember dreams past the waking state but I figure that if you're keeping a dream diary, it's being converted to long term.

It doesn't look any different from an NT picture.

Thanks everyone for you input.

I have dreams most nights.

Most time I remember dreams, unless someone asks me... Then dreams slip away often.

I had nightmares as a kid, but not now anymore.

I remember some dreams I had some 40 years before...

I love to dream!

I love to daydream, do it alot. Most times on the bus...

I know I had dreams but I usually can't remember what happened in them.

Something else about dreams... does anyone else experience this?

My dreams involve a lot more than sight, even after I wake up. My dreams involve smell, taste, feeling, hearing... after a breakup in high school I often had dreams about the guy and would wake up smelling and tasting him. It was torture. Perhaps the most extreme example of this is one dream I had where I was shot with a taser gun and when I woke up my back continued to spaz out.

Most of the time it's option 3 ("I know I've had a Dream but lose the details when I wake up") but every now and then I have a dream that I remember parts of for weeks, months, or years afterwards.

Oh, and has anyone else here had a dream that was a continuation of a previous dream?

I remember my dreams quite often. I also have frequent "prophetic" dreams, or whatever you want to call them. The kind to where it eventually happens a week or a month from the time you had the dream? Like...hmm.....ok, say I have a dream where I'm upset because a family member died, then a week later in real life one of my family member dies. I have dreams like that a lot. I also get way too many deja vu moments...atleast between 3-5 a day.

I lucid dream fairly frequently.

I sometimes have dreams that continue in an earlier dream world and seem like the real world. (Sequels.)

I almost always have some popular song going in the background of my dream (a soundtrack!). The tune often continues going through my head when I wake up until I'm distracted by something in my day life.

Gentle colour, rather than black and white or vivid colour.

It's like going to the movies, but cheaper.

I dream in color, and certain colors will really seem to stand out signifigantly...like the time I dreamed I helped a woman give birth on her couch, and she (a white woman) delivered a fully developed little black girl in a vivid purple dress..

Um..there are only a couple of dreams i remember from my childhood. One was of dinosaurs coming up out of the manholes in the street.

One was of a giant lizard in the tree in our back yard, one was of a giant white owl with huge red eyes like stoplights.


After my cat was run over, i would repeatedly have dreams of him visiting me in my room. He would show up across the room and the whole dream would be of him coming up to see me and it took a long time, and just when he was about to reach me, I would realise it would a dream, and the moment I would pet him the dream would end and i would wake up.

I have dreams all the time. Sometimes because of a film I've watched or it's just something random. I sometimes have more than one dream a night and it's annoying because I remember them. Even when I don't want to.

yes. yes.

I have terrible problems with sleep - I can't fall asleep or I wake up in the middle of the night (most commonly it's 1:30AM) and can't sleep anymore... And I don't think I dream... Or maybe I just can't remember?
*I think I'm too empty*

I used to remember my dreams and now I don't anymore. I rarely do now and when I do remember them, I forget what they were about as the day goes on.
