I'm new...feel free to leave me a message! Any of you ever had the falling dream? I have this one frequently, where I'm falling through space, nowhere in particular, and I never finish it. I heard it means there's something in your life that you feel you don't have control over...any thoughts?
Hmm, I've had similar recurring dreams, it was a sensation of falling backwards usually, and not pleasant. Out of control issues? Maybe, I could certainly say I feel that way sometimes, too busy with work and ~life~ !
Hi den! Are you online right now? I should be in bed, but I feel like chatting right now...I'll regret it when I'm trying to cram Calculus into my head tomorrow morning!
Yup, I'm online... but I see you aren't anymore... ahh well.
I hate falling dreams! :x I prefer the flying ones which is odd because I have a fear of heights. If falling dreams are a sense of being stressed out and out of control, that could explain why I had one after I fell asleep in class once. Very embarassing! :oops:
I've never had a flying dream...sounds interesting, though. To be honest, I rarely remember my dreams at all. (I wonder if that's normal.) Only the falling dream, because it always jolts me awake very rudely!
I don't remember my dreams as often as I use to. But I've read that it's normal not to remember your dreams. One flying dream that I had I had to eat pumpernickle bread in order to have the power to fly. Then I was given a mission; I had to deliver Dominoes Pizza to Italy.
I used to do free association writing and although it may sound like a strange dream to anyone who reads it, I can explain almost everything that I wrote, just as I can with the pumpernickle dream. If you wish you could remember your dreams, try free association writing. Don't think about the words just write whatever pops in your head. It's kind of hard not thinking at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun and a great stress reliever! ;)
I'll try that...if I can ever find the time. Senior year (high school) is reeeaaallly hectic towards the end! I did it once, and it didn't turn out very well. I guess I was thinking too much.
I have never had a flying or a falling dream. But I had a lot of dreams I can remember in the morning, some of them I can remember for years :-? . Does anyone also have more than two dreams a night? I mostly have three or four, but then I heard somewhere it's normal.
I actually remember reading that we have way more dreams per night than we remember. I rarely remember mine, but when I do, I've dreamed a lot...I'll remember fragments of multiple dreams that I really can't piece together. Next to the falling dream, I have the running dream every now and then. You know, you're running from something, but your legs will barely move. Sometimes I know what I'm running from, sometimes I don't.
Dreams are also very fascinating to me. I've recently learned that a long detailed dream only takes milliseconds to have. AMAZING!! I also beleive that dreams have much value and relevance in out lives. Prophets, for example, see dreams and visions frequently to send messages to God's people. Recently I've read a book that was basically about dreams, and how God just wishes to have communion with us and bring us closer to Him through dreams. What are you dreaming about? Does it have any relevance to your life today?
sweet dreams-

For the last week and a half (a very stressful time for me due to deadlines and everyday crap) I have been remembering my dreams. The first time I did this, it supprised me. I never remember dreaming, let alone my dreams. It was so clear in my head when I woke up, that I decided to write it down. I didn't want to dwell on it all day long. I wrote it down and in an hour forgot everything about it. I told a friend that I had the strangest dream last night. It was so vivid! Then, when I tried to describe it, I couldn't remember even the subject of the dream. I went home and read what I wrote down and was astounded. I am not sure if anyone is interested or not, but here is what I had written. Please excuse spelling and grammatical mistakes; this is unaltered.
it included Aliens, that weird-blue Jedi in Star Wars II, British Safari hunters, my brother, a manor, and small shotguns. The aliens were from Signs and the Safari Hunters were trying to shoot them with small shotguns. Then one of the aliens drew a light saber and morphed into the Jedi guy. All the while the aliens were stealing things from the bewildered safari hunters with their handlebar mustaches. The were stealing hats, wallets, eventually even a gun while the one Safarier was arrogantly talking to reporters or tourists or someting. Then he ran up the roof into a window-through an open window rather. He went into a bedroom surprisingly similar to my brother's. The Father-son team of British safariers were climbing onto the red -o range tile roof. It was like the roof on the CS map Italy. They were shooting at each other-the aliens and the British guys that is. Then the scene switched to inside the room that the aliens were shooting from. It was a dramatic scene, but with only facial expressions-no actual language. Then out of nowhere the scene switches to under my brothers bed... in the same room as the aliens... this is odd because my brothers bed sits directly on the floor. Anyways there were these sheets of paper that the camera or whatever moved through, dodging them and panning into an abyss of darkness. Then, somehow the British guys captured the aliens... it seemed like they gave up but I am not sure. The scene switched to a completely sterile concrete or metal jailhouse. THere was a desk and a couple of cells where the father-son alien team stood and watched. Actors ran out in front of them, pretending to fight or be friendly- trying to teach the aliens their body language. That way the aliens and the humans could start communicating. Then I heard my mother asking me why my alarm didn't go off. I thought that this was part of the dream-though I didn't realize it was a dream. I thought my mothers voice was part of reality. And I thought my dream was reality. Then I opened my eyes and saw myself in bed.
Now I have taken up way to much space, but I think I will post it anyways... just to see the reaction I get.
Hey imthefoolonthehill, let me guess, you watch a lot of alien or war movies? It was so odd, I almost felt like I was having your dream myself!
Last night I dreamed that Saddam Hussein and some of his followers (though I've no idea what they look like, I just knew they were them) burst into the building where I worship, and killed half the members of our congregation! What a horrible dream!Quote:

(That was a run-on sentence, wasn't it?) I recently saw a sign that said "give peace a chance", but unless that person can convince that philosophy to those people overseas, I'm not going to buy into it.
But, over the last few days, I really haven't been keeping up with current events anyway, so I really don't know why my subconsious choose to have that dream last night!
Shea- yeah... I do enjoy War movies and Science fiction movies (as long as it is convincing enough to make me forget it is Science fiction). My dream is perfectly explainable... except perhaps for the British Safari hunters... I have recently watched Signs... about a 2 weeks ago. I played Jedi Outcast (PC game) the night before the dream... I have been thinking about buying a Shotgun for a long time... I had a conversation about Counter Strike within a week of the dream... hence the setting... and I see my brother's room every day... So I guess the only thing that made it strange was the fact that my subconcious or whatever brought all these miniscule parts of my life together in one dream.
Isn't that amazing how so many random here-and-there tidbits from our everyday lives can come together in one dream? Every now and then I have those, usually when I'm most stressed out and there's too much in my life to keep up with. I guess my subconscious is better at organizing my life than I am in my conscious state. :)
