Speaking of Dreams....

I had a dream a week ago that I had cancer, had to tell all of my family, and I felt myself die in my dream, like fade out into nothingness and get all cold, but I could still see my family after I was gone. It was so horrible, and so vivid.

Most of the time I dont remember dreaming, but the ones that I actually remember are very vivid..

I had a similar one recently as branflakes198, but I didnt die in it..

I had a dream that I took a nap and in that nap, I dreamt. So it was like triple inception because it was the same setting in which I had taken a nap. Apparently, I was late for school or something and in that dream, I had woken up when it was dark. I woke up for real and it was bright out. I felt even more tired than if I hadn't napped. haha


I've had A LOT of fantasy dream and they were all so bloody awesome and vivid, I end up waking up feeling super happy. One of my favourite dream;

I'm in a pirate ship. The waters are unsettling and the clouds are dark. The ship is rocking hard from side to side that people are getting thrown overboard. Bodies are slamming against the ship and as much as I wanted to help my crew members, I can't because I need all my energy to gain footing and to balance myself. To make matters worse, we are under attack. I recklessly slash at the little evil flying bird-like things. A roar later, I see a huge dragon preparing to sink its talon into my sail and mast. I made a decision to reach the deck. I had to fight it off somehow. We are rapidly declining in numbers and the future looks bleak. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a loud cry is heard from the sky. A phoenix, the same size as the dragon, has flames enveloping its body. It suck a lot of air, brace itself and fly toward the dragon with its talons and breathed fire at it. The dragon got hurt badly and retreated. The sky became clear and the choppy waters became still immediately. You can hear the birds chirping. That's the end of my dream.

Mine are predominantly about sex or violence.

Back in the 80's I had a recurring dream that a good friend of mine (female) was being attacked in a gymnasium. I would rush down this oddly placed set of stairs to help her. I would fight the guy, but my punches and kicks were ineffective. I would finally quit trying to hit him and always ended up ripping his throat out with my teeth. It was quite realistic and went on for several years.

I hate the realistic, mundane dreams because I always wake up exhausted. I'm typically a lucid dreamer so I'm aware I'm dreaming as soon as I drift into a dream, but really, I think the big giveaway is that my "usual" dreams are so out of the world bizarre and violent I *know* I'm dreaming. I can't even say I have nightmares anymore I'm so used to these types of dreams.

The mundane dreams of day-to-day stuff is what throws me off - sometimes it's like Inception - a dream within a dream within a dream... It's so much worse for me when I fall asleep in public places while having these dreams - done it in class (college) and while driving (scary as hell) because you're not 100% sure if you're actually awake or still dreaming.

mines are usually about the world falling apart by colliding with the sun or volcanoes or weird weird black holes appearing in Earth...would not recommend....
