You ever have a dream at night that throughout the day sticks with you more than usual?
I had a dream before waking up this morning that I was looking out a window, across a street, with a field and some rolling hills in the background.
And all of the sudden, just these gigantic, huge, fire filled explosions off in the distance, so enormous that I couldn't tell if they were a mile away or 1,000 miles away. Smoke kept turning black, bigger and bigger clouds, and no idea what it was.
But a feeling of total fear in not knowing what it was.All day I've thought about it and kept having the same sensations as in that dream. Kept thinking it's what the beginning of Sept. 11 must have felt like.
Ever have dreams like that? I can still feel this sensation in my chest of watching it, the concussion of the blasts and how it was unimaginable.
And I have no idea what would have influenced this. I only watched the Ultimate Fighter before going to bed.

thats fucked up mg. question for you - do you watch much 24 hours news?
just curious.

Yah, and I keep trying to think what I might have seen that made me dream that.
I did watch Commander In Chief last night, and the Ultimate Fighter. Nothing related in either of those.
Had the dream before waking up to my alarm and was pissed that I "lost" the dream. Tried to fall back asleep and get back to it.

(Nov 2 05, 19:56)i've NEVER made that work... but of course I'm talking about sex dreams.
dreams are crazy though. the way they can affect you as yours has today. they can be so vivid. my dreams are very rarely associated with anything that happens in my day. often quite insane and humorous, rarely scary but when they are i enjoy it (as it only happens maybe once a year... it's like enjoying a horror film).
the oddest thing that happens to me as a result of a dream is 2-3 times a year i'll wake myself up in the middle of the night laughing out loud and i have no idea what i am laughing at.
i also occasionally sleep walk.

IMO, sounds connected to your emotional viewpoint toward 9/11 and perhaps the recent announcement of 2,000 casualties in Iraq...or some variation therein regarding current worldwide fears. An alarmingly increasing population feels pretty helpless.
Jimmy Carter was talking about it on Larry King tonight.

In the past I used to know whenever I was having a nightmare, so I would keep on sleeping. Weird, but it's like straddling the line between being fully conscious and being asleep. Anyway, I just know that I would enjoy the nightmare in some twisted way, so I wouldn't care about waking up.
Now it's different. Maybe it's my weird sleep patterns while in school, but it's harder to tell what's real and what's not. I have some really great dreams sometimes, only to be greatly disappointed when I wake up. And then I have some horrible ones, which don't terrify me as much as they give me insight.
I'm thinking about writing these down somewhere....some of them are worth remembering...hahaha. I tend to forget them just a few hours after I have them. It's hard to remember everything, especially details.
The end.

jaline - you should totally write them down. you'll need to keep a pen and pad by your bed because you can literally forget within moments. i think i may do the same but it is rare that i wake up at the point that i realize what i was dreaming.
if only there was TIVO for dreams.

Dreams are always worth writing down for many reasons. Especially when they are provoking this much thought. It's yourself trying to communicate with yourself.

i had a dream where i got shot that stuck with me like that... all day long i felt like someone had a gun between my eyes

Interesting...
You know that scene in Red Dawn where they're at the gas station on their way out of town, and they see a bomb go off in the distance and the Swayze says "Oh muh God, oh muh God."
It was like that x 50,000. Watching these explosions, it was spectacular, like you didn't know when it would stop, what it was, how high in the sky it would go, how close it would get to us, etc.
Geez, all this talking about it I'm really in for it tonight.

get a pen and pad by the bed mg and we'll diagnose ya in the morning.
(pre-diagnosis - you krazy bout bombs)
sleep well friend. =)

I had this dream when I was a little kid....over and over again...until it just stopped one night.
It had to do with many E.T.'s (the alien) on hospital beds in the playground of my school.
For real.

I've had one like that MLP, where I was running from someone who was shooting at me.
Ones like that are awful. It's just like a sexual related dream and how that sticks with you all day, like you can so fully imagine what you saw like it really happened.
I'll have to ask my GF about one I had not long ago that was really crazy. I ought to write them down.
- gruntt0
dang jaline. that's wild. what do repetitive dreams mean?
- Jaline0
not sure. I wasn't too scared about it though. E.T. was a friendly alien.
I had lots with vampires too, but I always seemed to get away from them. I guess I was a good hider.
- gruntt0
dreams where you're running away from something simply mean that you are not settled in your daily life. often stress related.
the opposite would be a flying dream which supposedly means all is well in your life. I've had the pleasure of having one true flying dream and it was incredible.

all this talk of dreams is making me sleepy. i'm off to bed.
lets all start keeping dream journals.
good night, gang.

all dreams are subconscious communication
recurring dreams are particularly nagging issues that you probably haven't dealt with
most dreams can be translated if you look at them intrinsically

I don't remember my dreams as often as I use to, but there's been a few dreams in my life which was a warning for me that came true. Almost like a unconcious psychic prediction.
