Really Vivid Dreams

blue note

Does anyone else have those really vivid dreams from time to time? The ones where you can remember how things tasted, smelt, felt. Where you wake up and you’re not even wondering if they’re real, because that would be a stupid question – why wouldn’t they be? They’re no less real than your memory of what you did at the weekend or what you had for dinner yesterday.

I had one last night – broken into two (beautiful) distinct parts. My life was essentially perfect in this dream. In the first part I had a threesome with two friends from my college days who I’m still in contact with. Both who I’ve always had a sneaky crush on but it never worked out that I got to score either properly. I won’t go into too much detail, but I can remember it like it actually happened. In some ways I can remember it better than some actual encounters, because for them I might have been hammered, whereas last night I was just asleep.

Then for the second part I was in work and flat out at it. I was getting everything done so I could go off on holidays to Mexico with my girlfriend tomorrow. Then I woke up. I was chuffed with myself about my conquest and a bit tired after working so hard but had that really well earned satisfaction that I go off on holidays now with a clear conscious.

Then gradually the doubt set in which turned to realization; that I hadn’t had the night of my dreams, that I wasn’t going off on holidays to Mexico and that I still had a mountain of work waiting for me in the office. It was the most depressing start the day imaginable!

So do these type of things happen to other people too?

The sleep and dreams forum has a rake of stuff about weird dreams. And some scary stuff.

I'd say your girlfriend is probably in Mexico as week speak with two ones from college , most likely there's some (Mexican) jumping beans to be had later.

I tend to have really odd and vivid dreams regularly enough. They're rarely nightmares but plenty of times I wake up and go "The fúck was that all about!?!" :P Most times it's the littlest of details my mind is able to construct and project in my dreams that make things feel so real and believable.

I remember I had a dream where I was stabbed in the stomach. My intestines got caught on the blade so when it was pulled out it yanked my organs out through the small wound, I could feel my torso get emptier and lighter.

Woke up and the first few seconds in a daze I instantly thought I had to scoop my guts up off the floor and wash them before putting them back in me :pac:

Usually after a rake of Guinness.

I never remember dreams, I'm sure I do dream, but damned if I remember them

I don't remember my dreams either. I've had two where I was convinced I was awake. One I broke my legs and was stuck in a wheelchair, you can't imagine how relieved I was to wake up and release I was fine.

The other I'd figured out how to fly (well sort of float), I actually figured it out in the dream, it made perfect logical sense that I could fly and it was something I could teach other people. You can't imagine how disappointed I was when I woke up.

I can imagine exactly how that felt! I woke up one morning believing I could fly. I wasn't particularly excited about it though, it was just something I could do, just a way of getting around. As I woke up more and more I began to get excited by the fact that I could fly and also doubtful about it. Until eventually I realised that it was just a dream

Oh yeah. Had a dream where I got stabbed in the stomach and as I stumbled out the door I could feel myself losing consciousness and 'dying'. Woke up in such a fright and went down to the sitting room where it had happened in the dream; I could feel how frightened I was as I turned the corner to look in.:o
Had another pretty horrible dream of a crow pecking my face off, woke up startled and ran as fast as I could to the mirror to check my face!
This is an embarrassing one had a dream I met Michael Collins! I still remember he was wearing a tweed jacket and I remember the sensation of it when he hugged me haha. It felt so real it was insane.

eat a small piece of cheese before bed

Those are memories and experiences leaking from your parallel selves in the multi-verse.

Same thing with deja vu.

Overheard my 3 year old sleep talking last night. She said something about Santa.

She came into me this morning saying "can we go downstairs, can we go downstairs?". I said "I'm just making the bed, what's the rush" and she said "there's presents downstairs". Felt really bad having to tell her that it wasn't Christmas morning.

Yeah, mature Chedder and my dreams are like acid trips.

A good way of influencing the dreams you will have on a Chedder cheese trip is to play different types of music in the background. Enya's Greatest Hits on YouTube give me the most magical dreams. If you listen to anything violent, like late 90's rap, or fall asleep to some horrific documentary after a fade of mature chedder, you will tend to spend the night in a state of turmoil. I'm sticking with Enya for now.

I constantly get vivid dreams and remember dream after every time I sleep. Can get a bit tiresome which is unfortunate as when I sleep, I dream and the cycle continues.

Ran a dopamine boosting L-DOPA and EGCG cycle earlier in the year. Had more insane dreams in that one month than in my whole life, I'd say.

I don't actually dream, which is more worrisome
