Post your dreams!

[Kimmy]

Dreams are weird, though I'm obsessed with the idea of them. The idea that even while you're asleep your brain is still active (even if bizarrely so) is pretty cool. Although the content of dreams is not completely understood, both the scientific speculation and that of my own is of great personal interest. Just one of those things, I suppose.

Researchers continue to toss around many theories about dreaming. Those theories essentially fall into two categories:

• The idea that dreams are only physiological stimulations
• The idea that dreams are psychologically necessary

I personally believe that dreams always mean something. For instance, I once had a dream about my (now ex) boyfriend cheating on me with a girl. I always thought that I was being sceptical and typically jealous but in the dream, I always remembered him telling me her name. The only thing I remembered was that the name started with an M, B or S. Bearing in mind that this dream was when I suspected little of him, when I then found out months later that he'd had a thing going on with a girl called Megan Sladen I was pretty... well, shocked. That could suggest, possibly, that dreams have a somewhat prophetic element, though this is a long shot considering that it was one dream.

I bought a dream book a while back, and in it you can record your dreams as soon as you have them. You can also attempt to draw the dream (though this is a tedious task when you've just woken up) and tick little boxes on whether it's a recurring dream. You also have the option to write what you think it means, and whether or not it has any relevance to your real life. It's so cool to write down your dreams and be able to go back to them. It's pretty nostalgic, even if it's a recent dream you've had because you generally don't remember your dreams after a day or so.

One of my favourite things to do is look up my dream meanings. Sometimes they're pretty dead accurate, and other times... Well, not so much. In this thread I'd like you to post the weirdest dreams that you have had, and if you'd like, I'll find out the different meanings. If you wanted to, you could come back and keep updating me with your dreams so that you could reflect back on them too. It's pretty fun, trust me!

Last night I dreamt my nana was upset about my grandad who died in november and I told her not to worry as he'd just gone on holiday, when really I know he's dead, so I'd agree dreams are psychological. In another respect I get sleep paralysis often, you should research it and that is physiological as its you opening your eyes before your brain has woken up, so you're still paralysed. You're paralysed during sleep so you don't physically act out your dreams but then the hallucinations I experience during are psychological?

I usually write my dreams into notepad on my phone when I wake from them

One of my recent favourites was:

I was at work and where I work they have huge pane glass windows, well it was night time and I was the only one at work but all the lights were on in the office so when I looked outside I could only see darkness and the feeling I was being watched/people could see it.

Anyway some police officers turn up knocking on the automatic glass doors, I let them in and ask them why they're here, they ignore me and they start looking around with flashlights because a corner of the office was in darkness, I continue to tell them I'm the only one here and I keep telling them then they drag from behind a cubicle a man without a face holding one of those snub nose guns

Then I woke up

It was one of the best short stories I've experience in a dream, what a twist of events aye

@Richie; perfect thread for you after http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=817754 http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=743147

Also 1 2 3 4 if you really are that interested.

Also, if you quote something you should give the source, which in this case seems to be HowStuffWorks

All dreams, are to an extent psychological yes. You're dreams can only be "thought" by experiences which your brain pieces together to make a "scene." People within a dream are only people you have seen in real life, they're not ever someone you HAVEN'T seen.

Dreams only occur during REM sleep and don't last too long in themselves roughly lasting an average of 20 minutes each! You do have multiple dreams a night only remembering one if you do remember any at all, this doesn't mean to say you didn't dream, because you did, you just woke up too late after REM sleep had finished.

Sleep paralysis is such a tangent to the topic, but it is psychological as well (again to an extent), as you're still dreaming, and yes you're still "paralysed" but sleep paralysis is more to do with the in ability to produce vocal noise and body movement. Although it maybe possible sleep paralysis is a contributing factor I would highly doubt it has an effect on your dreams produced.

To put your dream into context I would say it's more likely that you've experience many past tragedies (not just including your most recent loss [I'm sorry]) which means you're ultimately "reliving" them from your unconscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings from which you've suppressed all your negative and upsetting memories within your life. I don't know if this is accurate but you could tell me, if I am or not? @Jssy;

All of my answers are very one-sided and I am biased towards certain aspects of what I think and believe about all areas of Psychology. Therefore, I don't understand everyone to have the same views and opinions as to which I do.

A good study to look at about sleep and dreaming in general is Dement and Klietman - Sleep and Dreaming

This is such a good post James Sorry about the irrelevance of sleep paralysis I just meant it because oh the physiological aspect to it.

I've just done about this at college with Freud Yeah I believe that is the case, I just bury everything away in my subconcious and tell myself everythings ok, but as you'll know from studying Freud, stuff doesn't stay in your subconcious, it starts to appear.

I've had four dreams today (I keep fallin' asleep). The other three are Rated R...so I'll share one of 'em!~

Well I was running outside and the sun was really really bright. I stopped running though because it was difficult to breathe. I looked straight ahead and saw a drink machine and I was like yess water. I get up and jog over to the machine, but when I'm almost there someone crashes into me and I fall down. When I woke up my nose and mouth are covered up. Wrapped myself like a burrito (it's so cold), so that explains the breathing part.

lol

I also have sleep paralysis and always dream there's some horrible monkey with like ripped flesh and red eyes sat on the chair at the bottom of my bed looking the other way and I can't move and I really hope it doesn't see me but it always does and I snap out of it just as it jumps at me
I've been having a lot of dreams recently where I'm in some scary situation (I can't even remember what they are now) and I need to scream but I just can't make a sound when I try. It's like if you try to sing a note that's too high nothing comes out? Scary stuff.

Last night just wtf.

I dreamt like all of Habbox was going to see mdport. in London for a massive party and that me, flyingjesus, shonly and a bunch of others had to go to the train station (not like we all live diff places) and get train to london?? I got to London yeah and then realised i forgot all my luggage and didn't want everyone at Habbox to see my face :S so I went home by clicking my fingers somehow. Then at home someone said there was a rabbit in a garden an wanted to use my phone light to find it...we did and she pulled it out but then it hopped back in the rabbit hole and hid again.

i dont even...

i know rabbit hole means confusion that's a start.

Though I've always believed that most dreams correspond to our final thoughts at night really lmao,it's no surprise Habbox featured and I was talking about a rabbit in HxHD with Lauren. Dunno where train came from or any of that.
