pointless dreams

Robsweezie

Ever have the most pointless of dreams? I had one last night where a new pizzeria opened up in the local village, a crane lowered the building onto an empty space and then it was opened up.

Once inside, I must have placed an order and I watched the lady make the pizza, rolling the dough and putting on the sauce. I spotted the manager behind her on the phone, all dressed up and looking stressed. Then it was over.

What type of pizza did you order ?

I have dreams which solve real world problems sometimes.

Constantly. Constantly. When I have dreams that have a point, even worse, they are bad dreams.

Woke up one morning after having a dream of a newspaper headline saying Paul Daniels had died. Don't know why I had a dream about him cos the last I heard of him was about 20 years ago. Within a week my dream became reality.

I had a really odd one only last night. The Americans were sending spacecraft to the moon again and it was all live and online, but just as they were entering lunar orbit the craft exploded. All dead. Really vivid stuff. *gives up cheese after 6pm*

Most of my dreams are mundane. If they were more interesting I wouldn't have the problem of thinking I had already sent an email to HR or something like that, when in fact it was only a dream. The more boring they are the more less likely you can remember if it happened or not!

Rubberlegs

Most nights I have really vivid dreams, ones that I can feel, taste and smell stuff in. I find I only ever sleep soundly for a few hours, I wake around 4am, and only doze from then on. This is when I have mad dreams. I dreamt once that I came up with a whole new TV gameshow, it was a huge success. When I woke I was like WTF, I don't even watch gameshows. The only problem is I'm shattered a lot of the time from lack of quality sleep:(

You never had a dream of the future then?

I have dreams where I'm at work, tackling a very tricky project (a mythical project, nothing that I'm working on in real life). I'll be under a lot of pressure, quite stressed, trying to figure out a technical issue, or schedule or something. Wake up still stressed and it takes a good while before I shake off that pressurised feeling and fully convince myself that I don't actually need to worry about this non-existent task.

And my boss gets really annoyed with me when I try to invoice for my time :mad:


(I think it's a modified version of the Leaving Cert dream. I still get those too)

Last night I dreamt I was in labour, woke up this morning with a very sore back, but also with a little disappointment knowing I'll never have that feeing again

Oh! Are we allowed post about dreams? Do they have to be pointless? I keep having a recurring dream that myself and my husband are covering up a murder! Either I've killed someone or he has. We can't believe we haven't been caught yet, but it's only a matter of time. The other night it was an old lady we killed and we hid the body in the attic! I found her teeth in my bag and my husband told me I had to put them back in her skull so I had to go up to the attic and find her to put them back in!!

It's happened so often now, during the dream when I'm panicking I am actually telling myself it's just a dream and manage to wake myself up!

It's completely pointless btw, we haven't killed anyone but I sure must have a guilty conscience about something!

When I was a kid I regularly got a dream where I was being chased by something, but couldn't get away as my legs were like lead.

Crazy Wibbs because I was watching a doc about the Challenger space shuttle last night.

Disappointed that there wasn't an object the size of a watermelon being hauled excruciatingly out of your vagina?

Am I reading this correctly? As great as a baby must be, that process sounds like a nightmare. A bloody, slimey, public-urinating (public pooping), vaginal stretching nightmare.

I have that one a lot, apparently it means you feel under prepared and are anxious you'll be found out or revealed as a fraud. the leaving cert one is supposed to be the same... I feel the things that make the greatest impression on me during any given day, there the ones I dream about.

Freud believed that you brain is like a prison in the day, and at night, the doors are open and everyone gets to wander and interact which is why suppressed urges, fears and fantasies come to light, makes sense anyway.

masturbating guilt dreams, so maybe you are just feeling guilty.

The Specialist

I had a dream last week where I was trying to fight Steven segal but couldn't move my arms, so I just ended up watching him waving his hands for what felt like hours. My 7:20am alarm saved me from madness.

RubyGlee

Had a dream last night I was having a discussion with my friend over weather to get white or yellow pillowcases. Even my dreams are boring. I seriously need to get whiskey drunk

harry Bailey esq

I've been on an antidepressant called zispin for the past couple of years after going through a particularly traumatic period in my life,its long since past thank God, but its likely ill be on them for the foreseeable future, maybe even for the rest of my days.But feck me the dreams are somethin bleedin else,good dreams and bad dreams in equal measure.The strangest aspect of this however, is that I sometimes wake up during the course of the night, head downstairs (fully awake and aware of my surroundings)for a glass of water or whatever, maybe have a quick smoke and return to bed and drift off after a few minutes and find myself back in the same dream that initially caused me to wake up.Its both a blessing and a curse.If its a pleasant dream its great,if its a bad dream however it can be very scary territory indeed.

My dog had a wet dream a few weeks back
I was on the couch watching tv, he was in his bed. I heard a few yikes and he was doing that jerky running thing that they do in their sleep.
So I went over and gave him a rub, waking him out of his 'bad dream' (so I thought).
He woke up wagging like a loon, smiling up at me, big stupid happy head on him.
Then I saw it. Wee stream of happiness all up his belly. O_o
I had also got some on my arm. It was a while before I could look him in the eye again.

I had recurring dreams twice in my life. The first I felt as if I was pregnant in every dream. Low and behold I found out months later that I was. My next one was about me trying to stop my dad from going to work. I'd steal his lorry and park it where I hoped he wouldn't find it. He died the same year as those dreams took place.

Roger Mellie Man on the Telly

I took Lariam whilst backpacking in Asia years ago. One night I vividly butchered my entire family with an axe. The next I went on the rampage again and murdered a load of innocents (with an axe again).

Strangely, when I first moved to Ireland, for a year or so I kept an axe under my bed.

I think Lariam isn't really prescribed any more.

You've obviously never felt the excitement of an impending delivery...to hell with the pain and all the rest...to meet and hold your baby for the first time is something that cannot be replicated ever.....

Winterlong

There used to be a dreams forum in here, not sure if it is still around but it was great reading.

I love having a good dream...and the ones where dead family/friends make a guest appearance are the best - nice to see them again.

I feel that way every time I'm waiting for a delivery from ebay or amazon.

Ahh the LC dream. Pops up every once in a while (and final college exams), the panic of having to do it all over again. Awake 2 seconds to realise it was all a dream...

...then you realise you're an adult with responsibilities and it's a living nightmare :eek:
