Dream Experiences

No... I doesn't happen to me... and how many people is aware that they are in dreams... most of mine I know that I'm on a dream and sometimes I can even create something in my dream, like creating a door when I need one or flying at will or you know, I manipulate my own dream... does this happen to any other as well...???

My God... you are young man...!!! I saw signs (and love it, by the way, especially for the qoute "It could be possible that there's no coincidences") at 19 or some...

I'm an Orthodox Christian and it's the same. Walking around the town, having to do something (which is why I can't go back home, for some reason I have to keep going), and suddenly noticing I'm wearing only a t-shirt, with no pants or anything.

The typical dreams I used to have as a boy were about falling from great heights or hanging on to some weird object with the weird capacity to fly and drag me over many places, in the air. When I hit adolescence though, those dreams suddenly disappeared. I think Freud described this but I'm not sure (I haven't read any).

The funniest thing when having a regular dream is consciously remembering (while dreaming!) that I've been in this setting/landscape before, in another dream (which I can, vaguely but good enough, remember).

I haven't been dreaming much since quite some time (years), but from time to time I do get chased mercilessly by that T-Rex. Damn you Spielberg!

My most common recurring dream is a house dream.  Its never the same house, always an unfamiliar one and I have to search through it to someone or something.  I'm always lost and can never get where I need to go.  But for some reason I'm never in a hurry or state of panic; just calmly wandering from room to room; meeting people and seeing what's there.  Sometimes I've gone outdoors and and come back in, and once it was a huge factory.  I've heard that this is not an uncommon type of dream but no one here has mentioned it yet.

I've had a few of these dreams.   I've also had dreams that usually end with me falling to my death.  This has happened so many times I think I almost imagine the experience of falling and knowing you won't survive in the end.  Hopefully this doesn't mean anything. I have those falling dreams really frequently, usually once or twice a week. I always wake up sweating. Worst dream I can remember having as a child was Aliens dragging me out of my house after watching Signs when I was 7 or 8

I've never head a go-to-school-naked dream or anything like that. I may have had dreams where I was naked, but if I was it was irrelevant.

As a kid, ALL THE TIME!

But now, (I'd say over the last 5 or so years and especially the last 2 or 3) I can NEVER remember them.

Best I usually get is waking up with the slightest, vaguest memory that I had one.
I can honestly say that I remember 3 FULL dreams over the last few years.

I hate it.

I have read that it is best to keep a dream diary, in which you right down everything you remember from your dreams. I think it is supposed to help you focus on your sleeping habits and can allow you to have lucid dreams.

I used to have lucid dreams ALOT, (of course that was back when I could remember them).
Its tough. I wake up and have nothing. Like I said sometimes I have just the memory that I HAD a dream. Maybe if I try focusing when it happens I can coax something out.

I had a dream last night about being in an extreme down-hill skiing competition. I think the current weather may have something to do with that.
