Dreams, ... Options

[remini]

I looked around and I couldn't find this topic in the lounge, so if there already is a topic like this, sorry. You can close it. (I couldn't really decide where to stick this topic either... )

Anyway...

I haven't had any dreams lately, none that I can remember anyway. And I just wanted to know what you guys thought of them. Are they black and white, or in color? How long do they last, or seem to last? How often do you remember them? Do you ignore them, or try to interpret what they mean? What do you dream about?

I wanted to limit this to one or two questions, but I couldn't. Too curious, I guess. Or maybe just me being nosy.

i barely remember mine...

[angel-roh]

I always remember my dream every day and night... I'm glad that I got the skills to remember my dreams




Oh by the way, there is a topic about this in the writing forums heh

[*mona lisa*]

well, scientifically, dreams last for seconds, though they don't seem it. and i can never remember my dreams, i wish i did though. >_<

[*stephinika*]

yeah i've seen a topic kinda like this before but anyways...

i used to remember my dreams a lot, i don't really anymore. and they seem long. i do remember them sometimes just when i wake up but in 10 minutes i forget. and depending on the dream, i think about it sometimes, while others i just brush off.

[RandomHero]

Dreams only last 3 seconds, but they seem to last so much longer. I had a dream last night that I went to a play. Most of my dreams are in color and i usually remember them all.

[Note]

You see...I, for one, try to forget my dreams. Cause i dream about pop tarts everyday you see. And i get hungry.

I haven't had a dream in a while.
Whenever I do though, they're usually short.

I cant remember mine!! Argh!! I remember for that particular day, but then later I barely remember any part of it.

[KissMe2408]

I usually remember mine. And they are in color I used to keep a journal by my bed, and when i'd wake up, i'd write the dream down...I dunno why..It's kinda interesting to go back n read what kinda dreams you had.

Okay, I'm a Psychology Major and a Junior at my University, so basically, the only reason you do not remember your dreams is simply because you don't wake up during REM sleep, the deepest part of your sleep. Your dreams last for 30 minutes to an hour, and occur four times during the night, all different dreams. The only way you'll ever remember is if you have the power to *know* when you're dreaming. In some studies, when a patient goes into the REM sleep phase, they flash a red light and their dream ends abruptly and they wake up and can repeat the dream.

Anyway, I wouldn't try to interpret it. Freudians believe that they *could* mean something, so if you have the power to alter the outcome of the dreams you shouldn't, but factually, all dreams are is a stress reliever, usually irrelevant to anything in your life, I mean, you may dream about a person, but that's just the way it is. If you didn't dream, you would constantly wake up stressed. Don't take them too seriously, they really don't mean anything except that you're a hell of a lot happier in the morning.

Understand?

I read about it last year. It said you only remember your dream when it didn't finish yet. Each night you have a cycle of about six dreams. If you suddenly wake up and remember it, it means that you didn't finish it yet. If you don't remember anything about your dreams, that means that the cycle of dreams ended.

[bluecrystals]

i hardly ever remember my dreams. if i do remember my them, they are very vague and don't make sense. so yeah, i don't try to interpret them.

as for dreaming in color or black or white? hmm, i don't know.. i can't even remember that.

[whomps]

I don't even remember if they're in color or not.. I always think my dreams are in color, but now that I think of it, I can't remember. A lot of my dreams are scary and freak me out until I realize that it's just a dream. And a lot of them are happy dreams but it's sad because it's not real. Bah.

[laur3nw]

When I had my last dream, I thought about it the next morning and realized it was in color. My dreams can last long, but sometimes it can be short. I learned in my psychology class that if someone wakes you up in the middle of your dream, most likely you won't remember anything. Yeah....I don't interpret my dreams and I rarely remember my dreams. I wish I could remember all of them...except the bad ones. =P

[jr0h]

my dreams. i only give lots of thoughts to the interesting ones. i dont remember having any black and white dream but thatd be cool. so basically its collor dreams for me..i hate it when i have a favorite dream then i cant remember it.

[*Azarel*]

To answer your questions in order, in color, hours, once in a while, think about it sometimes, and.. well.. everything.

i dream in colors...mostly i dream about either being killed, me killing ppl, or falling

[kellyannie]

i'm pretty sure my dreams are in color, and they usually don't last that long (only sometimes.) I usually remember them until I try to explain it to somebody.. then it's like I go blank lol. i dont try to figure out what they mean because i haven't really had any interesting dreams lately.

[gelionie]

I don't seem to remember any dreams recently.

[*Weird addiction*]

well ive been having nightmares for the last few days and i remember them,they r usually in color ....

[angel-roh]

Dreams only last 3 seconds, but they seem to last so much longer. I had a dream last night that I went to a play. Most of my dreams are in color and i usually remember them all.

3 seconds? Maybe for you I guess... but 3 seconds means that you only slept for 3 seconds everyone dreams while they sleep...... so yeah. Without dream, it means you didn't sleep at all.

Also what are you guys talking about in colors/black&white? >.<;;; so you dream in old fashioned way like black and white?

[distortedMIND]

My dreams are in color most of the time. It seems my dreams last for about 30 minutes. Any dream I remember, I most of the time shrug it off. I remember hearing from someone that you actually have 6-7 dreams in one night.

...yeah.
