On what level do you dream?

[AlwaystheUnlucky]

I don't know. I thought I wasn't much of a dreamer, until last night, when I was dreaming that I was running to a train station(The city that I live makes usage of train tracks)when I see the girl I like and she utterly rejects me. However, I keep running, not emotionally affected at all, until I faint from heat stroke. I wake up at the stoplight near the station, but suddenly everything is in a steam-punk setting. I walk on an edge of the road, and I notice (not in my dream), that the train station had been replaced by the ocean. I get to a bridge which was blocked off, and the only way to cross it was to jump off the edge, dodge the rocks and swim across. Well, I can't swim and naturally, I start to drown but I'm rescued by this really tan guy wearing nothing but white pants that never get wet. He decides to train me as a bird-themed superhero with a rapier, something that reminded me vaguely as Zorro.

I wish I was making this up. I really do.

I dont remember my dreams at all but according to my fiancee I look and sound like I am trying to eat in my sleep.

Now my fiancee on the other hand has some messed up dreams. I wont go into specifics but the last one involved wizards on griffons wielding shotguns.

The weird thing about me is that I never ever remember my dreams, in fact sometimes I'm not even sure if I dream at all. There's just one dream I've had recently that I do vaguely rmember the gist of, and that's all. It's basically me at work being called to the general office (I work in a supermarket) along with three girls, who I apparently (in the dream) am flirting with. Two I know, they're my real-life co-workers (one's around my age, the other is slightly younger, only 17 - I'm 20, for the record). The third isn't named, and I don't even know a third girl around my age in my department (though there are other girls, they work different shifts to me).

The most confusing part is that first of all, I don't have any feelings whatsoever for either of these girls, and as far as I'm aware they don't have any feelings for me either. The other confusing part is that there's no way I'd ever be flirting with a girl, because I'm nowhere near confident enough to actually do so. So this dream has got me all shook up (hey, can somebody tell me what it means?).

(Oh, and a cookie for anyone who understands the pop culture reference from that last sentence. And another cookie to anyone who actually can give clever, reasonable [i.e. not silly or jokey] advice on my dream...)

*holds out hand for cookie*

Song of the Pharaoh is indeed the correct answer! You are now the proud owner of a Mind Cookie. That I am beaming to you now directly. With my miiiiiind...

My dreams are typically about me trying not to die or about me getting cockblocked by random shit. So... yeah. Important stuff

 

[OakTaooper]

Just about simple stuff. Missing my ex, wanting to see my friends, etc...you know. Normal stuff. I've only ever dreamed on a "large" scale once (atleast that I remember) and it wasn't even that huge, just involved me saving my hometown, or some crap like that. I don't remember exactly what occurred.

 

[zidine100]

usually nothing, but when i do know of them there random with a touch of logic, how the hell am i supposed to explain that stuff eh? especially when i forget the content ten minutes later, in other words i know what they were like, i just dont remember what they were.

 

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

Mine are really really really surreal, yet very very very symbolic.

I do remember my dreams, but only a little. The little that I remember is used as a jumping off point for inspiration. My best ideas have come from dreams. Some great books have come from my head.

I once had a dream, that I was riding a speeding Rome Apple, through a city with cobblestone streets and rusty tin siding walls.

I had another where I was in a large sky gondola made entirely of glass (ceiling, floor, walls), that was moving over the ocean, to the other side. Time stopped (people stopped moving and everything got really quiet), but outside, flaming meteors were crashing into the water and everything started rumbling.

Yeah,...my dreams get pretty freakin' weird and/or ominous, sometimes.

 

[manic_depressive13]

Sometimes extremely fantastic, sometimes ridiculously mundane. Ridiculously mundane. I once had a dream where I logged into the Escapist and I had been put on probation. That's what my subconscious thinks about? What a retard.

 

[Gudrests]

When you dream, how expansive is your dream? is it simple or would the things you dream about, if real, would be a life changing or a world changing event.

I tend to dream about small almost meaningless and minuet things, like last night I dreamt Panty and Stocking was on iTunes. Another night I dreamt I owned world of warcraft *which is weird because I have no desire to own that game*.

everything i dream about...(day dream...im able to zone out at work and still work perfectly fine) has something to do with like...world changing events...too many video games if you ask me

 

[SeriousSquirrel]

My dreams tend to be small in scale, and revolve around things that are happening in my life. I've never had a really epic dream...

 

[Freedomario]

this may be normal to some people, but not to me, Ive been having a dream every single night, last night, it was about heaven, i thought it was fantastic, and it looked incredibly realistic, but it forgot some things (wings, "streets of gold"{[small]at least i think that's what it said it looked like, i don't remember[/small]}etc.) oh well, i don't expect my dreams to be logical.

but if i had to say what 'level' it is, i'd give it either a 3 or 4 out of 5

 

[InnerRebellion]

My dreams tend to revolve around the "What if?". If I choose a certain path while awake, my dream will show the same scenario, but the results of me choosing the other option. It's rather interesting, but sometimes it disheartens me.

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

When I do dream,it is usually pretty mind taking.Sleep for hours having to be kicked in the gut to wake up.Then I have a headache,forget them and continue to daydream forgetting about everything I am doing or continuing it in my own twisted day throughout the day,until people kick me out of that a couple times.

 

[klaynexas3]

i dream on all levels, from me running from idk what, to voldimort killing the president of the world. one time i was a god visiting el dorado during the middle of a war on a construction site.

day dreams are always me screwing the world over accidently then redeeming myself and dying while saving the world in the process

 

[FollowUp]

I dream about world shattering phenomena, like cities sinking. My problem? I only really have dreams once or twice every couple years.

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

I ain't no dream wizard neither but as it tends to be,dreams are caused from mental stimuli like what has happened in your day and such.Did something odd or striking happen that day?

 

[zombflux]

I'm incapable of explaining any of my dreams.

People are always telling me about their dreams like "I went to the supermarket with my mom and we got in a fight"

I have never had a dream like that. My dreams are complex worlds I invented in my sleep with nothing related to this world except sometimes me and tits.

 

[AdmiralMemo]

95% of the time, it's mundane stuff, but there are occasional times where I'll have this wild and crazy, incredibly-detailed dream. I've got some of them written down.

I have lots of dreams where I'm in an action-movie style situation, or a living character inside an adventure game. Sometimes I'm even aware that I'm in a dream, which is awesome.
