Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just had a funny experience about math. After our ROTC duty last weekend, I fell asleep. In my dream, I met my two comrades (who were math major). I was about to ask them if they studied for our math long test, but I figured out that we're in different classes. As my dream continued, I met my best friend (who was the top two in high school) and we started talking about math. It was about that time that I realized that I actually haven't studied for my math long test so I woke up and saw my calculus book right beside me on the bed. (Geez, math is haunting me even in my sleep.) At least, I just woke up in time to prepare for the long test on the following day.

When I was telling this story to a member of our math organization, she told me a dream of another member. In his dream, he was being pierced by vectors so he woke up (His lesson was about vectors and he had a terror teacher.)

Anyway, I just find it a strange dream. I guess my dream simply means I got to study or I just can't stop thinking of math. Ever had a similar experience?

I also dream of doing some calculations and formulas although I don't know what I am calculating. It reminds me that I had a dream about creating a formula for something about the sun/sunlight. I can't quite remember tough but I am sure that I was trying to figure out a formula relating light and the area of the lighted portion of the ground.

Technically, my math dreams is basically focused trying to make a new discovery in math. Perhaps, I am just obsessed with trying to be famous in some mathematical concept.

It's very normal I guess. I know that I dream about math although I almost never remember those dreams when I wake up.

I actually don't remember any dream at all, it's like once every two months that I remember a dream, but I have another, similar experience a lot and it's because of that I know what I dream.

When I'm studying something, there are sometimes parts of it that I know a lot better than others, even without having looked through it before except during the lessons.
When I start think about that stuff, I suddenly "recognize" my thoughts as being the exact same thoughts that I had in a dream. Although, I never know when it was that I dreamed it, it could be two days as well two months ago, it always is 100% clear and I always know it is a dream. I have a very "relating" (or how do you call it) brain, so when I remember something it's almost always in combination with other things. But if I remember a dream it's just one thing without the others, "on a black screen" so to say

Well, I don't mind actually, but I guess that's because I don't know how it is to remember my dreams. The very few times I remember one, it's always kinda "normal", it happened only twice that it was a dream worth remembering. Although, things are slowly changing. As a child, I never rememberred my dreams, only when I was ill. It was only after I turned 16 that I started to remember a dream every now and then also when I wasn't ill. Since I'm together with my girlfriend, I remember my dreams "a lot" (let's say twice a week which is a lot for me) the moment I wake up, but I almost immediately forget them afterwards. It's no coïncidence I guess that the two dreams worth remembering are both dreams I had in the past 2 years.



That's kinda sad. But on the other side, you are right: it makes you think about certain things. This particular example is actually very recognizable for me. Although with me, I have to say it feels like my gf and her family care most for me, then some of the other students and some of the professors (surely not all of them, there are some really ******* among them) and then my own family. I don't have contact anymore with any of my former high school "friends" (guess that's a proof it weren't real friends)
So, I think that is kinda normal. The thing is, at college, you meet people with the same interests, who think the same like you and even act the same in a certain way.


xd I think you are kinda lucky with your teachers. Some of mine know a lot, but aren't that friendly or just have more important things to do than teach us something.
(For example: we had one this semester of that normally would give us 13 lectures, but came only 6 times of which 1 of those 6 was the last one, an hour after an important test and one day before the Christmas holiday started.)

My professors have tons of time... They are AWESOME! But my school has less that 4,000 students. The average class has less than 40 students in it... I hang out with my professors a lot (we only have 10 math professors). Or they run into when I am in the math lounge.
