tea15 I am a lucid dreamer i can remember at least 1-2 dreams a night but i never sleep well and the slightest thing will wake me. Its not all good stuff. But i can alter things in my dreams and can concisely change things. also they are always in colour. but bright in greens reds blues all the vivid colours. i think this might be because i have a photographic memory. size=12] Eek, I'm sorry. I studied dream in psychology class. It's impossible to remember a dream unless you wake up during or directly after it. Some things some of you might be interested in is that you dream in real time. So the length of time in your dream is exactly how long you are dreaming. Your dreams get longer in length depending on how long you are asleep, your first dream of the night might be less then 10 minutes long and your last dream might be as long as 45 minutes. A nice trick to use if you want to try and remember your dreams, if you aren't remembering them often, is try setting an alarm clock to go off at a time you usually don't wake up (please don't piss anyone off if you live with others). You might be able to catch yourself in a dream that way. Also, if you're like me, you KNOW you woke up during your dreams and remembered it, but by the time you are thinking about it you forget it (ugg). You remember more of your dreams before 10 minutes after you wake up and slowly forget more and more of it, so just writing it down and keeping a journal next to your bed helps. One of the odd things I notice is that whenever I wake up in the middle of the night and try to go back to sleep, I always remember my dreams. And they are always really weird... My mom atually claims this as well. We covered black and white dreams very briefly in the class I took, but no one could find credible information and we couldn't figure out much about it. Also, the thing where you dream about something and it comes true later I have no idea how that works. All I know is that it happens to about everyone. I went through a phaze where it was happening all the time and I was freaking out, and then one day my friend mentioned it was happening to her and then suddenly everyone was saying the same thing. So I guess its just some kind of phenomenom, it would be interesting to find out anything behind that...

I believe that the dreams you remember have a meaning although I may not be able to figure them out all the time. You must remember it for some reason if its important. Right?! I honestly remember about 3-4 dreams a week. I will wake up and be able to quote them fully. I feel as if I interact with my dreams. I wish I knew more about them and am currently trying to read up on them to find out what they mean. I do sleep light which I know is a big part of why I remember my dreams. Unless I take a sleeping pill... I will wake up to a dream.

Oooh I hate waking up and thinking about an incredibley random dream and then running over it in my mind to "help remember" but if I fall asleep again or get up and distract myself it just disappears. I have a diary beside my bed, written in usually half-asleep scrawl, where I write down all of a dream I remember as soon as I wake up.
I dont mind if I just purly forget I even dreamt, but remembering I did dream, but not remembering what it was about is highly annoying. As is remembering tiny pieces and straining your brain trying to recall.
I.E "I had a cool dream, something about...tuna? sweatdrop or...a yellow door" stare Psh.

I remember my dreams quite a bit.
And I will forget them, but then I started keeping a notebook and pen right by my bed, so I would wake up, turn on my lamp and start writing down my dream. I have a really random/weird dream written down. Haha it makes me laugh when I read it.
It almost all of my dreams I am flying, I have always wondered what that means.

I've realized.. that when I try to dream about something, I never dream about it. The thing that I'm thinking about before I go to sleep is almost never actually in my dream.
Yet, a few nights later when I'm not thinking about it, I do dream about that certain thing.
Hm.. I've always thought that it was because it is your unconscious mind that dreams your dreams and your conscious mind .... "takes a break". Hahaha, pretty lame theory, right? XD Or... your unconscious mind takes over in your dreams, leaving your conscious mind with no power. Or something...
Anyway... once, (I just want to say it) I had a terrible dream...
Agh, even thinking about it makes me paranoid....
But I woke up, sweating and breathing hard. I wish that all dreams were good... not completely frightening... gah.

I've found that my dreams are basically bits and pieces of things that I've seen throughout my life regurgitated in a random manner. For me, there really is no meaning.
As for remembering about dreams, when I wake up, if the dream was enough for me to immediately be thinking about it as soon as I'm getting up, then I remember all that my brain is thinking about. Like... I don't say, "hmm. there was this really cool part... something to do with dragons... but I don't remember what." No. If I remember something about a part, then I remember the entirety of the part. That doesn't necessarily mean that I remember the whole dream, just the parts that left an impression.
I do have the power to change the course of a dream while I am still sleeping, sort of consciously. Usually it happens with my really bad nightmares. Something horrific will happen, I will be jerked half-awake, and then I will decide I didn't like that and rewind it to a point I was okay with, then let it roll in a different direction. I wouldn't say that I am fully asleep when I do this, but I'm not awake either.
As for the astral projection thing, I wouldn't know, but my first impression is that a lot of the information about that is based on overactive imaginations. I have had experiences, usually when I'm in a lot of pain, where my mind kind of detaches itself and seems to be thinking about the scene from an onlooker's perspective, but my spirit has never actually left my body and I kind of doubt that it does for anyone. Of course, I really wouldn't know, but just from what I've learned in life so far I seriously don't think it happens.

I have only had 2 dreams like this, but it was very strange. I was having a nightmare where many people I loved around me or even I died. When I woke up, it was the middle of the night, I was breathing fast, and even had tears streaming down my face and my pillow was wet with tears. That is the strangest occurrence I've had

hmmm.
i like to have dreams, and then remember them in the morning, but sometimes i wish i wouldn't dream at all. [about certain things, or certain people]
we can't "plan" out what we are going to dream about.
we will really never know what we are going to dream about, and we will probably never remember every dream we had.
because as it has been said before, our minds//unconsious minds drift off to other things.
saddening, isn't it?
aw well.
one thing is for certain.
they are always fun to tell and hear about them[:
[most of the time, at least]
[sorry if i kinda drifted off topic, i tend to do that sometimes without meaning to]
