I dont much dream of people. Mostly I dream of things, objects and situations.

Occasionally people will feature somewhat in my dreams. Its unusual to have interesting situations where you dont have people. Other times I am in a universe all by myself, but it apparently doesnt occur to me to be lonely.

Here is the thing though. When I dream of people, they are often represented by inanimate objects. Here is an example.

Last night I dreamed of someone being taken to Perth Australia from the east coast of australia. The trip across the desert was not effected by plane, train or automobile. Rather, giant mechanical pincers did the trick. There was no danger to the person of course, because they were represented by a giant bolt. I had the sense that it was a person, but visually, they were not.

Such is the nature of my dreams. Problems are mitigated through perfunctory, mechanical steps. Given thought during daylight hours it seems strange, but not during the dream itself. My dreams are interesting, but not emotional. Of course I dont have nightmares; that scarcely seems possible, all things considered. Nor do I experience romantic/sexual dreams.

It makes me wonder how my view of people differs during waking hours. Certainly it must be different from run of the mill folk. I'm not inclined to lie, steal and cheat people, nor do them grievous harm, either physically or emotionally. Undoubtedly i do cause some distress; I dont have the best developed empathy, and take a matter of fact approach to real life. The flip side is that I dont feel deeply enough to lash out at people.

Do I really see people as objects? Its a strange take on autistic "preoccupation with objects".

I'd like to hear some feedback on what I had to say. I'd appreciate it.

I've never had what they call a "wet dream". Mostly I dream of work, or that I'm back in school or in the military. Sometimes I'm quarreling with my parents, or trying to catch a flight or find my hotel room. Occasionally I'm on a tramway that's heading in the wrong direction, or I'm balancing on a pier or platform that's about to collapse beneath me. Or I "wake up" in my flat only to find it's full of strangers.

I dream about other people often; usually they're not people I know in real life though, but rather people that exist only in the dream.

My dreams are obscure and random with no plot. They are constantly changing and often it is more like a movie POV, than me specifically being involved. When I'm asleep I don't realise it doesn't make sense.

My dream can contain people objects, anything.

I almost always dream of people, and people who I know, though for some reason a lot of times they look way different in the dream than they do in real life (but even then I know it's them). I've never really had dreams about just objects.

My dreams always involve people. My most recent dreams involve people I know personally and I am always interacting with them. The dreams also mirror what has already happened between myself and the people in the dream in real life. I have no control over what I do in the dreams though, which disturbs me greatly.

My dreams involve both people and things. People are faceless, however.

yeah..I'd dream of Genie...how many blond, blue-eyed Iraquis do you know?...;)

I'm always doing one tiny thing wrong, then having to overcome obstacle after obstacle to get to a goal on the other side of wherever...;) but I see people.

I do not dream often (at least I do not remember it). But when I dream they are long dreams, often a bit adventurous. Often involving war or a scary situation, but not in the nightmare sense. I remain calm.

My dreams are very strange. I once dreamt I was walking through an endless city, very dark, with nothing but skycrapers. No point.

Sometimes I cannot even tell if I am dreaming or I'm awake. I recall telling myself in one dream "I better go to sleep. I'm tired and want to dream of something." Then I 'wake up' in another dream.

Last week, I was walking around my school hall when for about 10 or so steps I thought I was actually dreaming. I was going to do something stupid until I snapped and realized "Holy crap, these people are 'real'."

Strange. I find dreams more real than anything.

I dream of my obsessions and current social situations. I don't dream about what the majority would call "Hot guys".
