I am the mom of an 11 year old with aspergers. He does not sleep very well. He has never told me about a good dream I just figured he did not tell me. He often has nightmares and he tells me all about those. Yesterday he was in class and got a writing assignment to write about a dream he had. He says he does not dream except for nightmares and BTW. He does not really pretend either so making something up was out and there was no way he was writing about one of his nightmares. This all lead to a panick attack meltdown complete with, yelling,crying, throwing things, being under the desk, going to the principals office being under yet another desk, mom being called, talking him down calming him down, explaining all of the not understood words he was yelling because he was speaking so loud and so fast to the principal etc.......

Well my question is do you have good dreams and do you remember them?
Do you often have nightmares?

Might be a good question for a sleep specialist. I have a lot of bad dreams, though they are not chronic. It seems to be the place where deep fears and desires manifest themselves.

I've had some good and some bad. As much as I talk of the College issue consciously my subconscious deals with it too apparently since my Psychology teacher has shown up in my dreams. Some dreams are her yelling at me putting me down another was kind of funny her giving a speech in an auditorium and it's TOTALLY empty except me sitting there listening to her speech LOL! Mom comes in and says lets go and pulls me away I say no I want to hear this and yet mom insists. and other dreams I've woke up in tears just a couple weeks ago I dreamed something invisible was choking be. I shot out of bed. LOL!

I am always floating, or defying gravity in some way, in my dreams.

I have good and bad dreams. I don't dream often but when I do, it's very vivid and very weird. Usually my good dreams center around a person who I have a crush on. I'll dream that we're dating, or kissing or something :oops: My bad dreams always involve me being kidnapped by someone and not being able to scream out for help. Or even worse, being able to scream but nobody listens to me. Also, I have really bad dreams about my brakes being cut in my car.

I dream a lot, mostly good/neutral but sometimes bad, which I assume is normal.
I used to keep a note of my dreams as I was determined to prove that I actually do have recurring dreams and that it's not just deja vu :D, but after 5 years I'd filled up a whole notebook without success so gave it up, lol

My record for one night's worth of sleep stands at remembering 8 distinct dreams the following morning.

I never used to remember my dreams, since I been pregnant I've been having some really weird dreams I remember. Like one where one of my dogs was climbing up lamp posts and hopping along them, very odd.

I have good dreams about 25% of the time. Most are morbid.

I sometimes remember, sometimes don't.

My dreams aren't good, happy dreams, nor are they nightmares. My dreams are weird. They're about situations that can't happen, with people I haven't seen in up to 40 years in them somewhere. If I wake up from a dream, my first thought is not "god, that was horrible," it is "god, that was strange." I don't always remember my dreams, but some of them I could describe in detail years after the fact.

I have had a series of recurring dreams for at least 30 years about a place I've never been, and about trying to get to an airport on time, but something is keeping me from getting there, and I'm starting to panic. I've had these dreams since years before I was ever in an airport or on a plane. I feel as though if I could dream them in a particular order, they would tell me something. But as it stands, I have no idea what it is.

I have mostly good dreams, and often very informative. They are one of my navigational tools in this world.

I had a good dream, last night! :D :D :D

I was in London, on a vacation. Everything was just as I wanted it. I was hopping on and off the Routemasters and going into all the vintage clothing boutiques on Carnaby Street. Everybody was jealous of me, because of the clothes I had on, and they were kissing the ground that I walked on. It was wonderful. :)

Depending on the situation... I have some good dreams and some bad dreams.....

Lately ive been having a few bad dreams related to one person who I seem to like very much but always goes horribly wrong and scared she would never speak to me again... :(

I guess thats worrying I suppose.?

Ive always had very strange ones. some are good, some are bad, some are neutral. Bad dreams rarely bother me anymore even though i get them alot, because i've gotten used to them. The last time I had a bad dream that seriously disturbed me it was about a strange disease that burnt people from the inside and their faces would turn inside out beggining with their nostrils. at the end of the dream it started happening to me and these chared peices of burnt ash started growing out of my tounge and it woke me up. I also had a dream one time where there was a guy walking through the woods on a island and he fell into a pit of dirt and spikes started growing out of him and they would curl around and stab him in the eyes and body and they kept growing until he became a giant mechanoid robot made out of the metalic peices and he went to go terrorize a city near by and turned other people into these things. sometimes my bad dreams have influenced my waking life like one time i had a dream i went to kinkos copys and someone planted a bomb in the store and it went off and there were dead mutalated bodies all over the street and now i wont go to kinkos anymore in case if that was a foreshadowing of something that could happen. I also have violent dreams where I am the bad guy and i do stuff like violently kill people including even people who I care about in real life and do other bad stuff. I'm not quite sure why i dream these things though. I also have very cool dreams too though. I am usually able to fly in my dreams or at least hover by using my mind power as well. I often have lucid dreams where i am aware that im dreaming. I belive that there is much more to dreams than most people know. Personally I belive that we are simotainoulsly living in two completly seperate realities. The one we're in now, where certain rules apply; and the dream reality where chaos theory applies and there are no rules. When you really think about it, your dreams are your other reality.
